How important is First Responders Appreciation Day? How important is the foundation for the children? What are we doing here today?

I mean, it's...

The thing is, it shouldn't even be a day.

It should be every day.

But what's so important is, you know, these are the guys that are the fabric that sort of hold us together in a way that I think people don't realize.

It's something that you don't realize until it's gone.

Yeah.

Where are we at with the extension of making the benefits permanent and the ongoing work? So

Is that strategic on your part or is it just, okay, we got competition travel and they also do this? Talk about the opportunity there, I guess, to do all of it together and sports are sports regardless of age group.

Well, there is a little bit of sports is sports and we are focused on this marketplace.

And we already do service the various levels of sport with our other technology.

And in fact, this past year, we did handle the travel logistics for a professional sports league.

We literally handled it for an entire league, all the teams.

It's not a very big league, but that was a good experience.

You know, what I would say is that, you know, when you start dealing with the clubs individually and then when you move up to the teams, it's a lot more than just the hotel room and it is about experiences.

Talk specifically about... group book, right? It specializes in club, maybe to the average person, you know, that looks the same as kind of a tournament housing provider, but what are the differences between the two and how does a group book for a club maybe interact with a tournament providers, you know, state of play policy, you know, how does it integrate there and what do the families and the end user experience differently?

Mm-hmm.

Uh, at the time he shot it, most of the Western journalists at that point had been asked to leave or had been relegated to their hotel rooms, so he felt a responsibility as the only really professionally trained journalist still out there shooting, so he captured it and he got it uploaded.

The fear of.

Yes.

The suspense of it, the imminent nature, the fact that it was always in the air.

Because I, I, I felt that, and, and Maziar and I talked a lot about this, an audience can become numb when viewing something brutal so that it, it loses its impact.

In the same way that a prisoner can become numb through repeated physical torture.

They develop an immunity to it to some extent, and it no longer carries impact.

So when the violence occurs, it is, it is, it, it, it cracks like lightning.

They gotta stay there

Because you're so accomplished now.

I, I, I'd be delighted to.

[laughs] Let's talk about- Yeah ... how horrible that was ...

there is no how.

You know.

[laughs] Well, like anything else, so, u- unlike things like sports or, you know, a lot of other things that, that you do, there is no doing, but y- you learn.

Your first time on stage, nobody gives you grace with the idea that like, "Oh, I bet this guy probably sucks- [laughs] ... because he's never done it before." And, and I was, I was up in New York for...

Mm-hmm.

But if we have them, who is monitoring them?

Well, it's a clandestine group.

That, this is the rub that I have, and many people like me.

It is a unconstitutionally elected group of individuals, uh, back in the '40s that they, they called themselves MJ 12, the Majestic, which is the majority, a, a, a military assessment of the Joint Intelligence Committee.

It was a group of 12 men, scientists, military experts, who came together, uh, because of the Roswell crash to figure out, to study that we are being traversed, we are being visited by these beings, what to do about it, how to disseminate the information, and how to possibly release it to the public, which they've never done until, you know, a month ago.

Um, and it, it is because they are terrified of the truth, and they're not even sure of the truth, and I can understand that.

If I was in the government, I would be hesitant to relea- this, release this information.

Hal?

there was... football, football was below the, the radar then, isn't it?

Football was below the radar, but so was I.

Well, when you're a, a young man who is growing up, who is, uh, I think, a proper 5'1", maybe a proper 5'2", there's not a lot in terms of, uh, athletic possibilities.

Now, even back in the day now, that you're talking about- ...

the, the '70s.

So athletes did not have, uh, the types of sculpted, uh, physiques and, and bio lab metrics that o- occur today.

So you could look at yourself and say, "I, I, I might project to 5'7", 150.

That, "Everything I know about humanity, I owe to football." What lessons did this game teach you that you wouldn't have learned, uh, if you wouldn't have had those experiences anywhere else?

Give us the eval in your eyes of your track and field program as we sit here today.

Uh, w- we're ...

You know, y- you're asking the wrong person 'cause I'm gonna be my worst critic, and I think that, uh, some things could've gone better for us this year, but we did have an outstanding year and we had some really talented athletes.

You know, Tyler Nichols has just been outstanding all year long.

He doesn't even know how good he is.

And he, uh, you know, we just saw him jump at Clinton High School and, and, uh, I said, "We gotta get this guy.

This guy is explosive, and he can just, he can just jump.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah.

It's a minute portion of the joy machine that you call your show, and it, it's annoying.

And, and let me say this, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, not just for this show, but for the country, the day, the day, O people, close your eyes and dream.

The day that the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration, the day that that happens, my brother-

Up button? Okay.

Press it.

Press it.

Press it.

Okay.

So but cat, killing machine, and it will murder all over the neighborhood, and it will bring it to you and put it on your bed as if to say, "You better keep [beep] feeding me-

[clapping] Whoo.

What sort of unholy, why would you ever aerate a beverage? Why would you ever condense bubbles? You, you're think, "Oh, this is delicious and, and very refreshing.

You know what? Let's just, uh, I don't know, aerate it."

can you break down a quick timeline of the footage

first time we ever hear of alien interview is a cia pilot famous ufologist john lear in 1987 tells george knapp on a local las vegas tv there's an alien interview film about to be released 1989, Bob Lazar comes out and says, I worked at this crazy, bizarre facility called S4, South of Area 51.

We have craft and, he thinks, beans there.

And we're reverse engineering both, examining both.

1991, we know now, this film is shot with this being.

I want to be very clear, all telepathic, or they call them thought projection interviews, were filmed by the government audiovisual department, every single one of them.

There's hundreds, if not thousands, of interrogations of these beings on film.

no.

Was there any sense of coordination or conversation in how you would do this?

What? No, we don't even, I don't even have their numbers.

I don't even know.

No, we do have a text chain that goes along.

Uh, I, I think everybody...

Look, uh, we all understand it's a luxury.

None of us are owed a platform or any of those things, but we also understand that it's a meaningful luxury in that, uh, there is a certain amount of strength of a society that is able to withstand the smallest of ridicule.

(laughs)

live

in? We are projecting things that we do not know.

The ecosystem has changed.

The monetization of it has changed.

I will tell you this.

It is a different ethos.

But one thing we have to remember, and this is the hardest truth for us to get at, is that the institutions that we spoke about earlier have problems.

That was extremely effective,

Yeah, yeah.

... and, and trying to find your way, and this is...

I mean, I'm talking about early '90s, mid-'90s, like, bad.

So, I had to find other ways.

Now, then it was...

You know, smoking helped, different things.

But I found these kinds of hand-to-material projects helped me disappear for hours, and it was...

Okay.

Michael Corleone.

Protection money.

Right.

It's protection money.

So ultimately, at the end of this, does Trump burn our fucking country down for insurance money? Like, where are we headed? But the reason why the guy from 60 Minutes and the reason why the head of CBS News left is it's not even about the money, which I think is, they've said is upwards of like 50 million.

Imagine paying $50 million for fucking nothing, just to get somebody to approve a merger.

A, it's bribery.

Hm.
