Summary
In this wide-ranging episode of Need to Know, Ross Coulthart and Bryce Zabel explore some of the most urgent and complex developments in the UAP world, politics, and history. They begin with a take on the recent Signal security scandal in the U.S. government, comparing it to their own use of encrypted messaging. This segues into a deep dive on the continuing UAP drone saga over U.S. airspace. Ross goes so far as to say these objects are likely anomalous and potentially connected to non-human intelligence. They express frustration over official government explanations that no longer hold up and a media landscape that fails to ask the right questions.
The duo also covers the growing importance of independent projects like Skywatcher, which claims to have repeatedly summoned and filmed UAPs, including jellyfish-like aerial entities, with advanced equipment. They highlight the risk of foreign powers like Russia or China beating the U.S. to disclosure and discuss the lack of action from the new presidential administration despite previous promises. Other key topics include David Grusch joining Congress, the failure of government institutions to act transparently, and the newly released JFK documents, where Ross shares jaw-dropping claims about potential links between JFK and a secret UAP retrieval operation. They close by emphasizing the need for real evidence and discernment in the age of misinformation.

| 0:00.0 | You know, since we were last together here on Need to Know, there's been this whole unfortunate signal snafu. |
| 0:20.0 | But, you know, it does have one |
| 0:21.4 | upside because it proves that Ross Colthard and I are more careful about our own communications |
| 0:26.0 | than the U.S. national security team. It's not that we don't use signal. We just assume that somebody's |
| 0:31.7 | always listening anyway. I mean, what happened in the U.S. is like Ross and me mistakenly, |
| 0:37.4 | including Mick West and Neil deGrasse Tyson in one of our chats. |
| 0:41.1 | Not a good look. |
| 0:42.6 | Oh, and here's some breaking news before we get started. |
| 0:44.8 | For all of our listeners and viewers who think either Ross or me have to be a hologram because we're never seen in the same place at the same time, we'll be putting an end of that foolishness by |
| 0:54.7 | appearing together at the contact in the desert conference out in Indian Wells, that's in |
| 0:59.2 | California, on May 30th. We'll be doing a live podcast there on a stage with each other same time. |
| 1:05.9 | So there, if you show up, we'll all take a picture together. All right now, let's pull Ross in from across the ocean. And Ross, my man, I just want you to know that I won't put a tariff on need to know if you're Australian listeners if you agree not to put a counter tariff on it here in the US. What do you say? It's too late, Bryce. It's too late. I tell you what, the whole blooming country here is in rebellion. We're all going, |
| 1:28.6 | why the hell are we so nice to these yanks? They're pulling the drawbridge up on us. They're |
| 1:33.0 | shutting down America. I honestly, I cannot overestimate the degree of shock and anger amongst |
| 1:42.1 | even conservative acolytes who've been very big fans of the US-Australia |
| 1:46.8 | Alliance for 50, 60 years, they're shocked that this is happening. |
| 1:52.0 | And yes, I'm on an Elon Musk Starlink here, so I'm assumed that might give me an input |
| 1:57.8 | that means that I'm not going to be hit with any tariff on need to know. |
| 2:02.1 | You don't need to slug me for 10%, mate. |
| 2:04.8 | Well, you know, as they always say, may you live in interesting times. |
| 2:07.6 | That's certainly been the case around here. |
| 2:09.5 | I mean, the news breaks with something big every day. |
