did nothing, would end on its own because they're basically out of bullets. Ending the Ukraine war might be the single easiest thing that any American leader could do, because they really, really want to stop. Like both sides super, super want to stop fighting. I mean they really, really, really want to stop. That is the simplest, lowest bar of performance you could ever imagine. And Putin just to…

the US government has hidden the existence of UFOs. The question is why. The answer is ominous.

So apparently Tucker, having now talked to enough whistleblowers and looked into it for months and maybe years, at least months, Tucker has decided it's just a fact that UFOs are real and that the government is hiding it from us. He has completely left the land of maybe long behind him. He's now reporting as fact, verified fact, that we have alien technology in our possession. I'd like to see by a show of the comments how many of you think we have alien technology in our possession. A lot of nos, but lots of yeses too.

And Representative Tim Burchett agrees. He may be a little more iffy, but he seems to believe that they're real, wants to find out more about them. But for some reason our government wants to keep it a secret. So that the secret would include whether it's even there or not. Now if there were no UFOs, why would it be a secret? Don't you assume that secrecy means it's real? Is that not your assumption? Secrecy is the main argument for why it's real, even more than the grainy photographs and eyewitness reports. I think people are more persuaded by the fact that they won't tell you what's happening, because your common sense says, well if there's nothing there the government should have no problem whatsoever saying yeah we looked, there's nothing there, right?

But could there be any reason, a valid reason, that the government would not want to admit there's nothing there? Can you think of one? What would be a reason that the government wouldn't want to tell you there's absolutely nothing there?

There's a really good reason. A really, really good reason. Because we think our military isn't up to fighting. I think that we don't think our military is up to the job. And I think that we have to create doubt in other countries that we have a super weapon. Because you know nuclear war is so scary that you kind of assume that none of the superpowers are going to use a nuke. But what if you had a…
