Joe Rogan (0:00)

Oh, here we go.

Good? Hello, Jimmy.

Jimmy Dore (0:06)

Hi, Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:07)

What's going on, buddy?

Jimmy Dore (0:09)

Good to see you, too. What's happening? Well, we were just talking about the Air Force admitting that their pilots had seen UFOs, and you were telling me you interviewed one of those pilots.

Joe Rogan (0:19)

Yes, I interviewed Commander Fravor, and he was saying that this...

Jimmy Dore (0:23)

Chocolate has been my favorite.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

With an R, Fravor.

He was one of the guys that actually went to... What is the word they do when they scramble and go to try to figure out what the fuck something is? But they monitored this thing. They saw it with their eyes. They saw it with their equipment. It was actively jamming their radar, whatever this thing was. It was shaped like a tic-tac, and it moved so fast you couldn't track it with the human eye. They said it went from... I think they said some impossible number, like 60,000 feet down to 200 feet in less than a second, like whatever you could track. You know, a radar does a blip, blip, blip, blip. They don't know how fast it actually went. They just know it went this insane distance in less than a second, less than a radar jump.

And it had observed them in that area without his knowledge, like other Air Force pilots had observed them, and then had brought it up to the top of the food chain. But it wasn't something that got distributed to everybody until he saw it. When he saw it, he was like, what in the fuck am I looking at here?

And they're like, yeah, we've been seeing these things. And this thing with no active propulsion system that you could recognize, there was nothing around, no fire coming out of it, nothing around. And it would just disappear, because it would take off at an insane rate of speed, and actively jamming the radar.

Jimmy Dore (1:52)

So when I covered this on my show, I said, now, I've heard reports that pilots see this stuff all the time, but they never confirmed it. And my question was, why now? Why would the Air Force be confirming that they saw UFOs now? Because again, there have been reports that pilots have seen this stuff forever. I'm not saying it didn't happen. I'm saying, why are they admitting it happened now?

And then, of course, you see in this last defense budget, they put in money for the Space Force.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

I think the money for the Space Force, though, is not because China is able to...

Jimmy Dore (2:24)

That's what they say. Whatever they can do to make sure we want to spend more money, that's what they'll do. Hey, we saw a UFO. Hey, China. Hey, look over there.

Joe Rogan (2:32)

You think that's what it is? That's why they're admitting it? But Fravor, I guarantee you, isn't in that.

Jimmy Dore (2:36)

No, no, I guarantee you saw it. No, no, they're just now... But before, they would say, that's not true. The Air Force would go, we don't acknowledge that. Now, they're going to acknowledge it.

Joe Rogan (2:44)

You're probably right. There's probably something to that, that it's just about budgets.

I don't want to be that cynical when it comes to something like that.

Jimmy Dore (2:53)

Really? That's cynical?

Joe Rogan (2:56)

I want to think that...

Jimmy Dore (2:57)

Come on, that's not cynical. That's two plus two.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

It is, you're right. But it's also cynical. The only reason why they're telling us is because of budgets. It's both things.

Jimmy Dore (3:04)

Yeah, okay.

Joe Rogan (3:06)

It is two plus... I mean, look at this. 100% is how they do it. If they need some sort of justification for expanding their reach or expanding their budget, they come up with some threat.

Jimmy Dore (3:17)

Well, listen to this, Joe. This is what I keep telling people, and no one seems to think this is a big deal. But, you know, the Democrats and the mainstream news have spent the last three years telling everybody that Trump is a Manchurian candidate, he's a traitor to our country, and working under the behest of Vladimir Putin.

And while they're impeaching him, they're voting to give him an extra $131 billion to go bomb anybody he wants. And if he's bombing at the behest of Vladimir Putin, why would you give him an extra $131 billion? Now, let me tell you how much $131 billion is, Joe.

Joe Rogan (3:48)

Please do.
