    (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast,…

    1. JR

      (drumming music plays) Joe Rogan podcast, check it out.

    2. NA

      The Joe Rogan Experience.

    3. JR

      Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. (rock music plays) Uh, what's up, Dan? How are you? Good to see you.

    4. DF

      Good. Good to see you, man.

    5. JR

      Good to see you again. Uh, first time that I saw you was the first time I saw your documentary, which is fucking excellent.

    6. DF

      Thank you, bro.

    7. JR

      Uh, The Age of Disclosure, really good. Can't recommend it enough. If you're a UFO dork like myself and you're in and out, like sometimes you're like, "This is bullshit. Maybe it's real. This is bullshit. Maybe I'm wasting my time. Maybe it's real. Maybe it's..." Go see The Age of Disclosure.

    8. DF

      (laughs)

    9. JR

      And then you'll be fully in the "I don't fucking know, but who... Something's going on." That's where I am right now.

    10. DF

      (laughs)

    11. JR

      I don't know, but something's going on.

    12. DF

      Definitely something going on. It's a real situation.

    13. JR

      Yeah, it's a real weird one. When you see all these like high-level government employees talking about secret access programs and back engineering programs that have been going on for decades and decades in secrecy, and you're like... Your documentary did a fantastic job of highlighting a couple of reasons why I always... When people are skeptical and they go, "Oh, okay, if there was a program like this, why wouldn't they just tell us?" You, you have to really understand the consequences of what they've done, 'cause what they've done is lie to Congress-

    14. DF

      Yeah.

    15. JR

      ... for a long time. It's a misappropriation of funds, clear felonies. Like... (laughs)

    16. DF

      Yeah. Lie to the public-

    17. JR

      Yeah.

    18. DF

      ... lie to Congress, lie to sitting presidents.

    19. JR

      The m- just the money stuff, and also, let's just be really... Let's be just honest about human nature. If you have complete access to enormous amounts of money that's not under any oversight at all-

    20. DF

      Yeah.

    21. JR

      ... for sure some of it-

    22. DF

      (laughs)

    23. JR

      (laughs) Some of it went in the pockets of people that probably shouldn't have got it. 100%.

    24. DF

      I think it's safe to say.

    25. JR

      100%, has to be.

    26. DF

      Everyone I've talked to who, who's aware of the details of the deeply hidden legacy program says that it's at least over a trillion dollars spent since the '40s.

    27. JR

      Oh, my God.

    28. DF

      It's an enormous amount of money.

    29. JR

      Oh, my God.

    30. DF

      And it's a much bigger program than people would suspect.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Right, and what is…

    1. DF

      be dangerous and we're either at, through secret programs, their level, or we're about to be. And then that's when you get to a crossroad. So I think that's one of the things driving officials like Rubio and Rounds and Gillibrand and Jay Strat and, um, to come out and say what they legally can because it's a set of circumstances that the human population really needs to know about and then it's become a humanitarian issue. How do we deal with this?

    2. JR

      Right, and what is it, right? What is their purpose? If they are real, are they here to help us? Are they monitoring us? One of the creepiest things that Bob Lazar said is that w- they look at us like containers.

    3. DF

      Yeah, I mean...

    4. JR

      And I was like, "What does that mean?" Con- like, con- containers of souls is what I interpreted from it, but that's just me. But like what does that mean, containers?

    5. DF

      Mm-hmm.

    6. JR

      Like, like it seems like human beings have an insatiable desire to innovate and create better technology, and that seems to be leading us into AI and seems to be leading us into probably what connects us with the rest of the universe, the rest of the intelligence of the universe. But the stuff that got us here is being these territorial apes, you know. That's why we developed cities and that's why we developed agriculture and that's why we, we had enough free time to innovate. We had enough free time to invent things and change things. But our nature is really what holds us back 'cause we're still constantly warring. Like, it hasn't changed at all.

    7. DF

      No, it's crazy that we're still threatening nuclear war 80 years after, you know-

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. DF

      ... dropping the bomb on Japan. We're still invading sovereign nations.

    10. JR

      We're involved in a proxy war. We're, you know, we're helping Israel. It's like there's so much chaos and death going on in the world because of human beings-

    11. DF

      Yeah.

    12. JR

      ... and the decisions that they're making, that if I was an intelligent life species from somewhere else, I'd be very concerned.

    13. DF

      Yeah, I'd be like, here's these, this group of monkeys on a, uh, you know-

    14. JR

      Yeah.

    15. DF

      ... trajectory.

    16. JR

      About to make a digital god.

    17. DF

      Yeah.

    18. JR

      They're real close to having super intelligence-

    19. DF

      Yeah.

    20. JR

      ... in digital form and the- these idiots are still blowing themselves up from the sky.

    21. DF

      Yeah, yeah, which also is why one of the current dilemmas exists, right? So this, this technology exists. Private defense contractors have this technology. Elements of the government have this technology.

    22. JR

      You're convinced?

    23. DF

      Beyond, beyond convinced.

    24. JR

      And what do you think that te- technology consists of?

    25. DF

      I have been completely convinced by multiple members of the intelligence community, the military, senior leaders in government, people who are running the Senate Armed Services Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee, someone who sits on the White House National Security Council, that our country has recovered dozens, dozens-

    26. JR

      Dozens?

    27. DF

      ... of crashed craft of non-human origin and done so since the '40s and there has been success reverse engineering elements of this technology, and the same thing has been happening in China and Russia, and it's a very real situation. It's a high stakes situation. It is referred to as the atomic race on steroids and...... I am completely convinced of that. And the, and the contractors that, the defense contractors, the people like Jay Stratton and Luis Elizondo and people on the Senate Intel Committee have told me are involved are Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Raytheon, Battelle, um, big companies, um, that have a lot of resources and are advancing this technology. But it's all so classified and so deeply hidden that it hinders progress.

    28. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    29. DF

      And the fear that if this technology got out, it'd be used by bad actors to create weapons of mass destruction has sort of prevented the scientific progress that could be better for mankind, that could be good for mankind. Like, this, this could... This technology, to quote Hal Puthoff in the film, says... He says, "This, this is the key to interstellar travel. This is the key to exploring the galaxy. This is the key to, to, you know, things that sound like science fiction, like teleportation." Um, all these things that could just revolutionize humanity and, like, the trajectory of our species-

    30. JR

      Mm-hmm.

  3. 30:0045:00

    So if it's not…

    1. DF

    2. JR

      So if it's not ours-

    3. DF

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      ... what, what is the predominant theory of what they are?

    5. DF

      The predominant theory is that they is multiple species, and there's no one answer. Everyone I talk to who has real visibility to the crash retrieval program says the non-human bodies that have been recovered in some of these crafts all look different.... there, there are multiple species. The universe is full of life.

    6. JR

      How many different species?

    7. DF

      I've heard of at least four body types that were recovered.

    8. JR

      So, all I've heard of is the grays, which is like the Close Encounters of the Third Kind ones, the Nordics, which is the, uh, also known as, like, the tall whites, right? They're the same thing?

    9. DF

      I've heard people say it, yeah.

    10. JR

      And then, there is, uh, the reptilians. People talk about reptilians being the scariest one.

    11. DF

      No one's ever used that word with me, to be honest.

    12. JR

      Really?

    13. DF

      Yeah. Yeah.

    14. JR

      And then there's mantis. There's, uh, ones that are, like, insect-like.

    15. DF

      I've heard people say that, yeah.

    16. JR

      I haven't heard of any more than that.

    17. DF

      Yeah. Well, um, I've also heard multiple military people talk about little beings that almost look like E.T., little, little bots that don't, don't seem sentient. That seem like they're, they're, um, almost like a-

    18. JR

      Like a robot?

    19. DF

      Yeah, like a robot almost, yeah.

    20. JR

      M- some artificial creation?

    21. DF

      Maybe.

    22. JR

      Yeah.

    23. DF

      Maybe. You know-

    24. JR

      You would imagine if you get to genetic engineering and, and when there's cyborgs and you integrate technology with this, this genetic engineering, you're gonna be able to create, like, workers.

    25. DF

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      Like little... That's what many people have thought the grays are. Like, there's small grays that are... They're w- they're, they're more in a, like, a workforce capacity.

    27. DF

      I've heard that.

    28. JR

      They just do the bidding of the taller grays, which seem to be more intelligent.

    29. DF

      I've heard that.

    30. JR

      Just-

  4. 45:001:00:00

    Hmm. I think they…

    1. DF

      film that he, he briefed, he... M- that Mnuchin, the Secretary of Treasury, asked for a briefing on the lay of the land because Trump asked him to get the briefing. And Trump had already known that the base facts, that, that, that we're not alone in the universe, that, that there's been recovery of crashed craft, right? He knew those base facts. And he told Mnuchin that he was thinking about going public. And so Mnuchin reached out to Stratton to get a briefing, and he told, he told Stratton that the reason he wanted the briefing is 'cause he needed to be able to evaluate what the impact would be to the economy if the president decided to step to the mic and tell the world we're not alone. Stratton tells this story on camera in the film, and I've heard a lot more about it off camera. Uh, so we know Trump contemplated doing this already. Now I think the release of this film and Rubio's involvement puts enough on the table that it, it, it makes it easier for him to do.

    2. JR

      Hmm. I think they would have to have some sort of a plan in place if they were going to say that, right? Like, the amnesty plan. The idea behind it would have to be in place. If someone's g-

    3. DF

      Or at least grab, grab control of the situation and say that we're g- this is real and the US intends to lead the way. 'Cause the other, the other factor that the White House has to keep in mind is, you don't want Xi or Putin being the guy to do that.

    4. JR

      Right.

    5. DF

      You don't want them to have that moment.

    6. JR

      Right.

    7. DF

      Right?

    8. JR

      Right.

    9. DF

      Um, you know, something I always think about with, when it occurs, with regards to that moment of a president stepping to the mic, when we entered the space race, Kennedy gave that big famous speech, right? He was like, "We're gonna lead in space. Uh, technology, like, you know, space technology, like nuclear technology, has no conscious of its own. It's up to man to use it for good or bad. And we're, we're gonna make sure it's used for the betterment of all mankind. And we're gonna lead the way." That was his whole-

    10. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    11. DF

      ... rallying speech, right? And it made the whole scientific community be like, "We're gonna help, help the US win." Like, you know, rah, rah, rah, right? I think that's needed in this race. Like, we need all the support of the scientific community, of academia, the kids coming out of MIT. We need them putting their brain power towards this. And I think the White House knows that. And it's also the greatest, it's the, that's the greatest TV moment a leader could have in the history of humanity. Step into the microphone.

    12. JR

      How much do you think Elon knows?

    13. DF

      Look, I've seen him, obviously, talk to you about it. I think he knows a lot.

    14. JR

      Yeah. Me too.

    15. DF

      I don't think you get the contracts and the clearances you need to operate in, in space-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. DF

      ... without some horse trading.

    18. JR

      Yeah, when I went to SpaceX, I'm like, "Motherfucker, you know everything." (laughs)

    19. DF

      (laughs)

    20. JR

      (laughs) There's no way, there's no way you're launching these fucking things into space without them keying you in on exactly what's going on. He's just sly about it.

    21. DF

      Well, I do think, uh-

    22. JR

      He goes, "Yeah, well, if they are aliens, they certainly are subtle."

    23. DF

      (laughs)

    24. JR

      That's what he says. Like...

    25. DF

      Wow.

    26. JR

      Are they really? I don't know, man.

    27. DF

      I think it's impossible to operate in space like, like he does and not be aware of everything. And, and also at the level he, he operates clearance-wise. Um, I held a secret screening at the National Space Symposium earlier this year, which is the Super Bowl of the space industry. It's like 60 people, heavy hitters from the space industry. We didn't promote it or publicize it at all. But there were a dozen guys from SpaceX there.

    28. JR

      (laughs)

    29. DF

      And they all (laughs) and they all seemed very aware of everything revealed in the film.

    30. JR

      Yeah. I'm positive.

  5. 1:00:001:14:03

    Okay. Does that mean…

    1. DF

      is reverse engineered technology.

    2. JR

      Okay. Does that mean in space in low Earth orbit, or does that mean traveling through the solar system?

    3. DF

      The- what was implied to me was traveling through the solar system.

    4. JR

      Geez.

    5. DF

      Yeah.

    6. JR

      So are these- and-

    7. DF

      Here's another thing someone, that- that same person said to me, by the way.

    8. JR

      Yes?

    9. DF

      So, before I forget, that their belief is that the technology we have would not be pulled out even to stop a world war.

    10. JR

      (laughs)

    11. DF

      It would not... Those cards would not be shown until moments before, like, a nuclear war situation.

    12. JR

      (laughs)

    13. DF

      So they wouldn't pull it out to stop, like, any of the wars we've experienced in the last, you know, since World War II. Um, they wouldn't... You know, regardless of how many, you know-

    14. JR

      It has to get to nine. (sighs)

    15. DF

      It has to get to a level where there's no-

    16. JR

      Yeah.

    17. DF

      ... there's no other option.

    18. JR

      Wow.

    19. DF

      'Cause it's show your cards.

    20. JR

      Now, when they say that they've traveled through the solar system, is this biological human beings, or are these drone crafts? Like, what are they saying?

    21. DF

      I, I, I never got any of that. I never got any of that. All I was told is there's some of the, some of the UAPs that are seen, that have been seen by our astronauts on space missions, are non-human intelligent life and some are reverse engineered craft. That's what I was told.

    22. JR

      But we don't know whether there's a person inside of them.

    23. DF

      I, I don't know

    24. NA

      Most definitely not.

    25. JR

      If they are reverse engineered and they are ours, and we figured out how to make our own...

    26. DF

      That, I don't know.

    27. JR

      Yeah, I need to know that.

    28. DF

      Yeah. (laughs)

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. NA

      (laughs)
