This is John Batschuk, continuing my conversation with Louis Elizando on Substact later this week.

0:07.0

Wednesday will have it up on the Substact page.

0:11.0

This is when Louis helps me understand how it is that people don't know about the

0:16.2

classified programs to do with UFOs, UAPs are now called, unaccounted aerial phenomena, unexplained aerial

0:29.2

phenomena, unidentified aerial phenomena, UFOs, and that they don't tell people unless they need

0:36.9

to know and even then.

0:39.2

The presidents are not routinely told, how it is that something this strange can be inside the defense

0:47.3

business for 80 years and it remains unknown or only guessed at or regarded as foolishness.

0:59.6

Is Louis Elizando explaining, weis more of this on the full sub-stack interview later this week on the 9th

1:10.8

of October. Thank you. Yeah well unfortunately there's a mindset that some

1:15.7

presidents are what they consider temporary hires. I know it sounds absolutely

1:19.8

bonkers but the reality is is that there are individuals in the, and not to make light of it, but there's actually a term that we use in the Pentagon and we call, these people call themselves, we be here before you and we be here after you leave. And basically

1:34.7

there's this mindset that the the politicians in our country and the

1:39.0

leadership in our country are quote-unquote temporary hires. They're

1:41.8

here for four years and then they're

1:43.0

likely gone. So there is no need to necessarily brief these individuals into

1:47.9

some of these efforts that are ongoing. And by the way, like I said, it's not always, it's really not that unusual. There are many, many examples in the last even decade where presidents have not been briefed to certain things that we've been doing.

2:03.0

Well, look, they weren't briefed to mine.

2:05.0

They weren't briefed to our program, Agent, they weren't briefed to OSCEP.

2:07.0

I mean, that's a classic example right there.
