One of the more interesting parts of Elon Musk's recent interview with Tucker Carlson
00:05
had nothing to do with politics.
00:06
That's refreshing.
00:07
Yes.
00:08
Exactly.
00:09
Because we've heard a lot from Elon Musk lately about politics.
00:13
He has always been a very polarizing figure and now he's even more with politics.
00:18
So let's get back to something he knows about, science and space.
00:22
And rocketry.
00:23
And rocketry.
00:24
So they had a conversation about UFOs.
00:27
The thing that always we know every time we put up a story on the website about UFOs.
00:33
We've done several documentaries about UFOs.
00:36
And every time you ask somebody, it triggers a conversation and whatnot.
00:40
He is in a peculiar position to really talk about this because of the things he's done
00:44
with SpaceX.
00:45
Right.
00:46
So this is why I think his take on it is really interesting, even though I don't necessarily
00:50
agree with it.
00:51
I think this is knowledge-based.
00:52
When you say what are the aliens, what do you mean?
00:55
Where are the aliens?
00:56
Oh.
00:58
A lot of people think we see aliens, but I have not seen any evidence of aliens.
01:03
We've got 6,000 satellites in orbit and not once have we had to maneuver around an alien
01:08
spacecraft.
01:09
Right.
01:10
I mean, there's always a bunch of classified programs that are underway of new aircraft
01:16
and new missiles and things that are classified even within the military.
01:22
So it's only if you have the top-secret compartmented clearance would you know about this new program.
01:30
So then some pilot sees something moving fast and says, oh yeah, I saw a UFO.
01:35
I'm like, yeah, that was actually a new reference program, but we can't tell you that.
01:40
So I think that's interesting that he's exactly-
01:42
Well, hold on.
01:43
Hold on, though.
01:44
And I know exactly what you're going to say next, but go ahead.
01:46
Well, tell me what I'm going to say.
01:47
You're going to talk about the Tic Tac video.
01:50
Okay.
01:51
Lucky guess.
01:52
You're going to talk about the Tic Tac video.
01:53
Lucky guess.
01:54
And this thing can move at a speed that we don't know about.
01:58
This was at 80,000 feet and it came down into the water in a second.
02:05
We don't have, human beings don't have the technology to do that.
02:10
That you know of.
02:12
I'm just telling you that you can't explain.
02:15
It's that leap that you make, he's saying that might be a top-secret government weapons
02:19
program that you're not aware of the technology doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
02:23
But his point about 6,000 satellites and not having seen to maneuver around an alien, I'm
02:27
not sure how far it gets you.
02:28
6,000 satellites in the vastness of space doesn't really tell you definitively one way
02:32
or another.
02:33
And by the way, you know, presumably, and I'm just going to put this out as a hypothetical,
02:38
that if there were an alien spacecraft and they are sophisticated enough to go from where
02:43
they are, where they live, to planet Earth, they probably have the ability to maneuver
02:49
around these satellites that Elon has shot up so that Elon would never have to divert
02:56
the satellite from hitting the alien spacecraft.
02:58
Right, and none of those 6,000 satellites would ever actually detect this spacecraft
03:06
entering Earth's atmosphere.
03:07
You're assuming they're detectable.
03:09
You're assuming they're detectable.
03:10
Here we go.
03:11
This is Gary's invisible alien scenario, which we covered this morning as well, which is
03:15
they may not be detectable in ordinary visible light.
03:18
Can I just say, you sound like Ferdinand, you sound like Isabella, and that's just the
03:24
way it is.
03:25
You guys do.
03:26
Do I get to be Ferdinand?
03:27
Charles?
03:28
No, no.
03:29
He said I'm Ferdinand.
03:30
Everybody, everybody thought that Columbus was nuts when he talked about around world.
03:36
And you know.
03:37
But Ferdinand and Isabella funded it.
03:39
So.
03:41
They wanted him to fall off the book.
03:42
Okay, but they at least gave him the money.
03:43
Fine.
03:44
Okay.
03:45
But my point is that you can't.
03:46
So do you want us to give you some money so you can go find these invisible aliens that
03:49
are flying around Earth?
03:50
You can make fun of this.
03:51
You're poo-pooing the idea that there couldn't be intelligent life somewhere else and even
03:56
more intelligent than us.
03:57
I'm not poo-pooing the idea.
03:58
I'm not poo-pooing that idea.
04:00
Yes, you are.
04:02
Yes, you are.
04:03
You're mocking.
04:04
I'm saying they're not here.
04:05
You're mocking.
04:06
I'm saying they're not here.
04:07
Well, you don't know that.
04:08
Okay.
04:09
In this case, Los Angeles.
04:10
Man, if aliens have the technology to reach this far, why wouldn't they converse with
04:15
us or try to contact us?
04:17
We got thousands of satellites.
04:18
Not just with Elon Musk, but we also have satellites with T-Mobile, Sprint.
04:24
You know what I'm saying?
04:25
That's right.
04:26
And that T-Mobile satellite would pick it up.
04:28
Hold on.
04:29
That's service right here.
04:31
Let's say you were an astronaut and you went to some planet where there were aliens there.
04:38
Would you just assume, oh, they're going to greet you with open arms like a welcome wagon?
04:42
Or maybe they're going to hurt you, so maybe they have a fear factor, right?
04:46
That's possible.
04:47
It's possible, but there's centuries of proof of people seeing UFOs.
04:51
You think they at least would leave some kind of trace or say something.
04:55
People talk about Area 51, but how true is all of this really?
05:00
Why are presidents so sketchy about it?
05:03
That's what I want to know.
05:07
That's what I want to know.
