What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Hey, everybody. Welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. Andrew Colvin in for Charlie Kirk today. We have two big stories this hour. First, the mysterious unidentified drones flying off the coast of New Jersey. Is this much ado about nothing, or is there something more sinister going on? Are Iranians involved? Are Chinese involved? Is the U.S. government involved? We debate that, me and Blake Neff.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
All right, without further ado, Julie Kelly, declassified.live, Substack. Welcome to the show, Julie.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
We are not the FBI. We are not the FBI here. There's no blacklists involved. Julie, there's so much news around this J6 story that's bubbling up, which I find remarkable. It reminds me in some ways of this wall story where they're auctioning off. Right at the end, it's like this last minute, you know, screw you to Donald Trump and 76 million Americans who voted for him. But it's J6.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Donald Trump has made no qualms about this. He's not been silent. He is planning on pardoning a lot of the J6 defendants. We know at least the ones that are sort of petty crimes, nonviolent crimes for sure, but maybe all of them. Despite that, you had a piece in Real Clear Investigations where you are outlining the speed at which these prosecutions are moving forward still.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Please let us know that, and then we're going to get into the human confidential sources story next. So how fast are the prosecutions still moving forward?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Yeah, I mean, so Julie, you're so good at naming names. And for those who need a refresher course. Julie sat in a lot of these trials. I don't know if you still are, Julie, but you were inside the courtroom. You saw the political bias, the weaponization of our DOJ in first-person living color.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
And I know that deeply affected you, seeing these families get their lives ripped apart, these defendants get their lives ripped apart. You are so good at naming names. Who are the chief villains that are orchestrating this, whether they're in the courtrooms or behind the scenes at the DOJ pulling the strings?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Name names and put it on the record so that, you know, when we do have a new regime, a new administration replacing this regime, as I like to say, that we can have some accountability here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
We have a big show. I'm also joined by Blake Neff, another producer of our fine show. Blake, how are you doing over there?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
You know, it's funny you'd say that, Blake, because I can actually point to a number of instances in the last couple weeks where I'll be on a phone so people can't see who's talking with Charlie and somebody else. And people can't tell who is who. And I find that extraordinary. But all I can say is that we've spent, what, seven, eight years together, Charlie and I, working together.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Now, Julie, before we get into this new bombshell from yesterday, the 26 confidential human sources story, I want to quickly, just one second here, the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys. Now, have you heard any whisperings or rumblings that they might have their sentences? you know, pardoned or commuted or whatever. I have not personally heard anything about that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
But to your point, this seditious conspiracy stuff, I mean, these cases got blown completely out of the water and out of proportion. Have you heard anything amongst your sources that that is also being considered?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
And Julie, how long are they spending behind bars, the different characters that got
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
You're right. And I think, you know, I'm not as briefed on these trials as you are. I remember them vividly during the moment, but I can't say that they were completely blameless. I don't know what they planned, but this all seems completely crazy, especially when you let 10 million foreigners invade the country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
And we're just like some sort of weird meld is happening with tonally or something. I mean, I do listen to the guy for basically two to three hours a day. So perhaps it's all subconscious. Blake, there are, as I see it, three main stories of the day. There are the mystery drones flying over New Jersey. You have a bit of a normie take. I'm a little bit more skeptical.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Now we finally get confirmation as we've been hearing reports that there were confidential human sources. He denies them. Christopher Wray denies, denies, denies. He resigns, and then all of a sudden this IG report comes out. Four years later. This should be criminal. It's shocking. Tell me what you know, Julie. What's your take on this?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
There is the revelation that there were FBI agents or informants, confidential human sources, as they call them, at J6, only 26 of them. And then there is this story about the wall that has just been sitting on the southern border since the last Trump administration that Biden is now auctioning it off for $5 a segment. So we're going to get to all of this in hour one, rest assured.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Well, and I agree with you. So when I saw that number, at least we have a confirmation that that, as you say, Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland lied. OK, so that's a compromise. At least we have that. But I am thinking back to Representative Clay Higgins, who, you know, it was a bombshell at the time. He was reviewing troves of evidence and claims that there were over 200 agents on the ground.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
And he even detailed how some of these agents infiltrated group chats and were encouraging some of the actions that we saw on J6.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Amazing. Follow her sub stack. Follow her on X. You're doing amazing work, Julie. Thank you for staying on the case. You're going to be an invaluable resource starting January 20th for sure. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. We'll talk to you soon. For more on many of these stories and news you can trust, go to charliekirk.com.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
And then we're joined by Julie Kelly. She names names. She says, who are the villains, the chief villains, of the J6 prosecutions, the weaponization of our Justice Department, even as Trump is about to come in and has promised to pardon many of these people. We talk about that as well as the 26th confidential human sources that were just revealed by the IG report. Can you trust that number?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
But Blake, I want to start with the drones. We got to start with the drones. I'm going to let you actually start and tell me Why this is all just a bunch of do about nothing. You are very skeptical that there's anything amiss or awry going on here. Your take, Blake.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
All right. But, okay. All right. Here are the various theories, right? One is you've got this Jeff Andrew clip, we could play it, but that it's a mothership from Iran, that they've formed some sort of partnership with Chinese manufacturers of drones and they've dispatched all these drones. Why that is a terrifying possibility.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
I mean, the federal government is saying that's not the case, but if it is true, Iran was credibly accused and I believe confirmed to be orchestrating an assassination attempt against President Trump. And here they are flying over Bedminster, different places within New Jersey. And so that's one theory, that it's this Iranian drone. The government's denying that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
Other people are saying that it is top secret U.S. military craft. They're also denying that these drones are part of the U.S. military. So the other is, as you said, that this is simply the private planes, things like that. That's totally understandable. But the other option is that these because of the size, these drones are rather large. Not all of them are private planes.

The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
I don't think based on some of the visuals that we that you can see with your own eyes are all over the Internet. They are large. And I was just reading a couple of briefing articles on this. Large drones are used for very few things, actually. Military, agriculture, and moving things, shipping things around, which is less likely.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
The most common use of large drones, as you said, they're about the size of an SUV, is military. So, you know, these things have flashing lights. They're huge. They've been doing this. And by the way, the first drones were spotted... over a military installation as well as Trump's golf course.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
You do not have to be that close to Bedminster or a military installation to get detailed photographs and intelligence from that. So just, I would say that. But if you are a human being spotting a drone with an eye shot of those places, then you are going to be able to assume that those drones are getting detailed surveillance of those sites. Now, I want to play a clip here.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
This is from a Mayor Milham in New Jersey. And this clip is fascinating because he's basically saying, one thing we know, we don't know much. We did this big briefing. We do know that they are over the top of critical infrastructure. Play cut 132.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
So this, cause this all feels very much like the Chinese spy balloon that we're like, Oh, we don't know what it is. We don't, it's just floating over the U S and we're just going to let it happen. Then they, then they finally shoot it down over the water. If, if we don't know what this is, shoot one down, shoot it down.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
There's some Navy divers that would love that mission to go, you know, retrieve it from the ocean and then we can analyze it. And then we have answers. The fact that they're unwilling to do that, says somebody's lying and I have to believe it's our U.S. government.

The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
All right, Blake, we're going to give your vantage point here on this controversial story about the drones off the eastern seaboard some time here, okay? We're going to play cut 120. This is John Kirby saying, hey, you know what? We were unable to corroborate these reports. Actually, a lot of them are lawful reports. manned aircraft, 120.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
All right, so that's John Kirby, spokesman. But here's the thing, Blake. I mean, you've got to consider the source. On the one hand, I'd like to say, well, that's our government source, so we should trust it more.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
sad reality of our current moment that that doesn't carry a lot of weight with a lot of people all right we they so and i think this is this is a fact the the government either knows or they don't know and that's the real story that they if they don't know that's an indictment of the trillion dollars we spend on military every year or they do know and they're not telling us which
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
It's sort of like, why are you doing something you're not telling us?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
calm down it's not it's not as bad as people are reporting and i think all right i think that's okay as far as such things go would we like to know more probably but you made a good point in the break in our chat you said you said one of the problems is there's a lot of clips on the internet there's a lot of clips going around and it's hard to sort of track which claims are connected to which clips right so that's that's a fair point
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
But a lot of eyewitness, and I was just reading in CNN, I was reading in Bloomberg, a lot of eyewitness accounts of these drones report that they are doing maneuvers that manned drones or that manned aircraft simply cannot do, right? They're zigzagging. They're going from a 90-degree angle to a 270. They're the size of an SUV doing this, and they've got flashing lights all over it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What the Heck is Flying in the Skies over New Jersey?
So that, I would say... is suspicious. And the fact that there's multiple sightings over a course of weeks, I mean, this story, I saw this story bubbling up a couple weeks ago. It's only now hitting a fever pitch because the U.S. government is saying, we don't know what it is. Or in Kirby's case, we know that these are manned flights. But again, that doesn't comport with eyewitness testimony.
