WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.819 Okay, Chelsea, we got the same choices this time, 00:00:02.859 --> 00:00:04.919 except two less, because we found out that one 00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.240 wasn't a real news article, and then you picked 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.300 that other one. Yes. So we got animals. Good, 00:00:10.380 --> 00:00:15.140 you're going to tell me. Space, UFOs, pollution. 00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:19.160 I'm going to go UFO. Okay. And this comes from 00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.320 Daily Mail, not my favorite source, but it's 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.260 UFOs, so we can use it, because it's always fun. 00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:27.940 This is a short article, but it's not the same 00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:31.010 kind of shortness. Like with a video or what? 00:00:31.309 --> 00:00:32.369 Yeah, there's no video with that. What do you 00:00:32.369 --> 00:00:34.929 mean same shortness? It's not the same shortness 00:00:34.929 --> 00:00:36.929 as that other one that I deemed too shortness. 00:00:37.189 --> 00:00:42.350 Okay. Anyhow, we have from the Daily Mail, written 00:00:42.350 --> 00:00:45.450 by Chris Malor, who is the U .S. Assistant Science 00:00:45.450 --> 00:00:51.109 Editor, posted February 23rd, 2026 at 5 .10 p 00:00:51.109 --> 00:00:55.450 .m. article title mystery as ufo vault with 3 00:00:55.450 --> 00:00:58.890 .8 million files is wiped clean hours after trump 00:00:58.890 --> 00:01:02.390 demands alien docs released oh i saw this yeah 00:01:02.390 --> 00:01:06.430 a massive public archive of declassified u .s 00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:09.010 government files vanished just one day after 00:01:09.010 --> 00:01:11.590 president trump ordered the release of all ufo 00:01:11.590 --> 00:01:15.310 related documents i guess this really is everything 00:01:15.310 --> 00:01:19.090 trump says is really the opposite Do you think 00:01:19.090 --> 00:01:21.409 that he wiped it so that he can release it and 00:01:21.409 --> 00:01:23.870 say this is it? No, he said release it. So they 00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:25.689 actually took that to mean, oh, we got to get 00:01:25.689 --> 00:01:27.769 rid of everything. In fact, even everything that's 00:01:27.769 --> 00:01:31.530 public, we got to get rid of. Okay. Massive public 00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:33.810 archives of declassified U .S. government files 00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:36.510 vanishes one day after President Trump ordered 00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:39.709 the release of all UFO related documents. The 00:01:39.709 --> 00:01:42.310 Black Vault run by researcher and ufologist John 00:01:42.310 --> 00:01:46.159 Grenwald Jr. had its main server reportedly wiped 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.599 clean on february 20th deleting hundreds of gigabytes 00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.939 worth of files on ufos to classified cia projects 00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:54.640 and major conspiracies including the assassination 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:58.540 of jfk granwald shared the news online explaining 00:01:58.540 --> 00:02:01.019 that some server directories had their permissions 00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:03.659 the safeguards on who can access or edit them 00:02:03.659 --> 00:02:06.599 and the file ownership logs changed without explanation 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.500 Black Vault has become a go -to resource for 00:02:09.500 --> 00:02:12.259 anyone wanting to see exactly what the government 00:02:12.259 --> 00:02:14.500 has quietly made public over the last 80 years. 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.020 Grinwald has spent three decades organizing information 00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:20.919 on hidden programs and little -known incidents 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.139 that suggest the US has been involved in top 00:02:24.139 --> 00:02:26.699 -secret efforts to recover and take advantage 00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:29.919 of alien technology. Troves of declassified files 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.139 the public can freely search through on Black 00:02:32.139 --> 00:02:35.280 Vault detail military base reports, witness testimonies, 00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.099 and even CIA directives since the 1940s and 50s, 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:40.680 which have been unsealed without widespread public 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.879 knowledge. The research has also publicly revealed 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.000 every time a Freedom of Information Act request 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.599 was returned by the CIA, FBI, and other government 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.800 organizations with little or no response. The 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.099 timing of the potential sabotage came just hours 00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:55.979 after the president's history -making declaration 00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:58.620 ordering the Pentagon to disclose anything related 00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:01.080 to aliens and extraterrestrial life, unidentified 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.219 aerial phenomena, and unidentified flying objects. 00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:06.979 Oh no, there's more to this article. It's just 00:03:06.979 --> 00:03:09.120 a lot of things in the way. In a statement released 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.280 on X, Grenwald said he did not fully suspect 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.419 foul play, but noted that he couldn't rule out 00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:16.479 the possibility because of the suspicious information 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.340 he had received from the website hosting provider. 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.860 Quote, They had no idea what happened, and on 00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:24.960 their side, they said it was a deletion, not 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.659 corruption." The researcher posted on Saturday. 00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:30.240 In simpler terms, someone or something intentionally 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:32.879 removed every single file from Black Vault's 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.460 server, deleting all the records released by 00:03:35.460 --> 00:03:38.039 the CIA and other groups, without fully shutting 00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.120 down the site so alarms wouldn't go off right 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.409 away. Until recently. The US government has flat 00:03:43.409 --> 00:03:46.229 out denied that UFOs or extraterrestrial beings 00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:49.150 existed, maintaining for decades that there has 00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:51.710 never been any physical evidence recovered that 00:03:51.710 --> 00:03:54.009 proves something non -human has ever landed on 00:03:54.009 --> 00:03:57.270 Earth. However, Trump's February 19th order came 00:03:57.270 --> 00:03:59.349 after he publicly criticized former President 00:03:59.349 --> 00:04:01.289 Barack Obama for saying in an interview that 00:04:01.289 --> 00:04:04.229 aliens were real. Trump claimed the 44th president 00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:06.870 had revealed classified information. Grinwald 00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:10.150 has previously filed over 11 ,000 FOIA requests 00:04:10.150 --> 00:04:12.210 with the U .S. government to obtain these documents, 00:04:12.490 --> 00:04:14.870 including some declassified reports that date 00:04:14.870 --> 00:04:17.529 back to the alleged UFO crash landing at Roswell 00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:21.230 in 1947. His investigations have also provided 00:04:21.230 --> 00:04:23.430 legitimate paper trails detailing how former 00:04:23.430 --> 00:04:25.350 administrations and the intelligence community 00:04:25.350 --> 00:04:28.389 created secret task force of high -ranking military 00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:31.329 and scientific officials to research UFO incidents. 00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.500 these groups include the majestic 12 which was 00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:36.699 allegedly formed under the roswell crash and 00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:39.699 worked for over two decades investigating sightings 00:04:39.699 --> 00:04:41.980 of alien spacecrafts working with non -human 00:04:41.980 --> 00:04:45.279 technology and contacting extraterrestrials luckily 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.209 for the black vault greenwald revealed that all 00:04:48.209 --> 00:04:50.490 of the more than 3 .8 million files were backed 00:04:50.490 --> 00:04:52.629 up in secure locations and the site was restored 00:04:52.629 --> 00:04:54.709 soon after the mysterious wiping took place. 00:04:54.910 --> 00:04:59.250 Oh, so this article means nothing. Quote, is 00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:02.149 a stark reminder to us all, me included, keep 00:05:02.149 --> 00:05:04.490 backups, keep them in multiple places and never 00:05:04.490 --> 00:05:06.509 be intimidated by anything that comes out our 00:05:06.509 --> 00:05:09.949 way. No matter what we expect may have happened. 00:05:10.029 --> 00:05:13.040 End quote, the researcher wrote on X. There was 00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:17.180 a moral of the story. Sorry, I have a real hard 00:05:17.180 --> 00:05:19.439 time taking this article seriously anymore. There's 00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.019 a bit more to go, but now I'm mad at it. Not 00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:25.839 only for misrepresenting the entire background 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.379 of disclosure from the government. But also, 00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:32.879 what happened to their website? So, sorry. I 00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.120 just can't. I can't go forth anymore. I'm mad 00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.720 at it. And you know why I'm mad at it? If we're 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.060 talking about reasons that we're mad at it. You 00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:42.639 know what I'm all for? I think I've talked about 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.660 this on an episode recently, too. But I'm going 00:05:44.660 --> 00:05:48.339 to talk about it again. I'm all for, like, people 00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:53.420 saying, yeah, aliens really do exist. But not... 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.759 when it comes to trying to distract from holding 00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:02.899 anybody accountable for their crimes and the 00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:05.759 Epstein files. And it completely downplays, like 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.779 there was actually like fundamental pushes forward 00:06:08.779 --> 00:06:12.300 by Joe Biden's administration that we learned 00:06:12.300 --> 00:06:16.620 about in Canada's response to the UFO situation. 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.540 That they released. I think we did that episode 00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:22.160 last year. Yeah, by bait. We do remember that. 00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:24.519 They not only released everything they were able 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.720 to find. They also specifically set up how things 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.060 are supposed to be administered publicly. And 00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:34.040 none of this is supposed to be classified anymore. 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.519 Just completely swept over that. And don't talk 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.519 about how Obama went on record in an interview 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.600 saying aliens are real. And then went on afterwards 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:45.779 because... People took it way too seriously and 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:47.699 he said this is my personal opinion because of 00:06:47.699 --> 00:06:50.800 how big the universe is. Yeah. And you know what 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.240 is the funny thing when I watch that Obama thing? 00:06:53.420 --> 00:06:56.500 That's totally what I got from it. So I'm not 00:06:56.500 --> 00:07:00.259 sure why everyone like was freaking out about 00:07:00.259 --> 00:07:02.860 that. And then I just think that Trump is just 00:07:02.860 --> 00:07:05.740 looking for literally anything to distract from 00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:08.439 the appearance that he briefly made in the Epstein 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.579 files because they accidentally leaked his by 00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.879 accident and took it away. Anyhow. He is not 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.139 briefly in there, Chelsea. Well, I mean that 00:07:16.139 --> 00:07:18.319 one, like, super incriminated thing that they 00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.740 took away. Anyhow, I think that we should definitely 00:07:21.740 --> 00:07:24.759 still release what they're keeping back. Oh, 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.139 yeah. No, release what there is. I really don't 00:07:28.139 --> 00:07:31.860 know what could still be classified that would 00:07:31.860 --> 00:07:34.100 be released at this point. Because, like, there's 00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:37.269 been so many pushes for declassification. Over 00:07:37.269 --> 00:07:39.949 the last three to four decades. Where we got 00:07:39.949 --> 00:07:42.089 Blue Book. We got Project Grudge. We learned 00:07:42.089 --> 00:07:44.310 all about them. We learned about Project Stargate. 00:07:44.490 --> 00:07:47.569 You're talking about the Epstein files. We learned 00:07:47.569 --> 00:07:49.689 a bit about the Epstein files. And how there 00:07:49.689 --> 00:07:55.569 is UFO stuff in there. But not really. And I 00:07:55.569 --> 00:07:57.949 can't remember the name of the program. But Biden 00:07:57.949 --> 00:08:00.709 completely released everything they had on it 00:08:00.709 --> 00:08:02.990 too. And it didn't make that big of a splash. 00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:06.060 Because for whatever reason. The UFO community 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:09.040 is incredibly right wing. Oh, not only that, 00:08:09.139 --> 00:08:11.800 but the stuff, when they actually release, it's 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:14.680 so boring. Yeah. And so nobody ends up caring 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.680 because it's so boring. Yeah. Well, and it's 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.740 because also, too, they have to give a good, 00:08:20.899 --> 00:08:25.090 like a kudos to you to a democratic leader. who 00:08:25.090 --> 00:08:28.050 they don't want to do. Yeah, that's true. Which 00:08:28.050 --> 00:08:29.829 is an unfortunate thing within this community. 00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:33.049 I always get so mad at this, and everybody's 00:08:33.049 --> 00:08:34.590 giving Trump credit for this, and they're like, 00:08:34.590 --> 00:08:36.830 oh, he's going to say something in the State 00:08:36.830 --> 00:08:39.649 of the Union. Didn't come up once. Didn't come 00:08:39.649 --> 00:08:42.279 up once, because he doesn't give a shit. No, 00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:45.379 he really doesn't. And that's what it felt like 00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:48.399 when he said that. I think he just saw Obama 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.440 say something and like what was happening around 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.500 him. I need to one -up him because he hates Obama 00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:55.600 so hard. It wasn't just one -up him. It was, 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.360 I think he just takes whatever he can to try 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:00.759 and distract from what's going on with the Epstein 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.600 files as well. And he starts just saying shit 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.480 just as he does. Just like things just come out 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.539 of his mouth. And I'm just so sick of hearing. 00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:12.990 Anyhow, this is a mini - about hate and why we 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:17.029 hate as many. Yeah. But you guys got 48 hours. 00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:20.149 What's Trump's distraction over this time? Yeah. 00:09:20.210 --> 00:09:24.169 And what do you hate? Email us. Email us. Email 00:09:24.169 --> 00:09:27.389 us your hate. Email us, please. Bye.
