Full Episode
All right, folks, so apparently there are a lot of weird drones that are flying around America, particularly the East Coast and particularly military bases. We keep hearing from the government that it's not a big deal. They're not sure what they are. They're not sure what to do about it, but it's no big deal. And here is my problem.
Perhaps 15 years ago, I would have believed the government, honestly. Perhaps 15 years ago, I would have been more apt to think, hey, they know what they're doing because no way in hell this government would allow, say, foreign drones or even domestic drones to simply hover around military facilities. en masse for weeks on end. There's no way they would do that.
And then Joe Biden was president and Joe Biden allowed a Chinese spy balloon to cross the entire continental United States without shooting it down. And only after he got called on it, did he then proceed to shoot down a bunch of weather balloons with hellfire missiles. So yeah, I've got some skepticism. Now again,
That doesn't mean that these are Chinese drones or Iranian drones or aliens or anything like that. Maybe it's just a bunch of people who are mistaking airplanes for drones. That's quite possible. The thing is, I don't actually trust the members of our government to tell us the truth, even if they knew the truth, because they have not in the past.
According to CNN.com, mysterious flying objects overhead, concern and confusion and calls for military intervention. This isn't the plot of War of the Worlds, but rather the results of numerous unidentified possible drone sightings on the East Coast in recent weeks. The possible drones have been spotted over residential neighborhoods, restricted sites, and critical infrastructure.
Now again, if they're floating above residential sites, I tend to think that probably these are simply domestic drones, people who are hobbyists or something. But again, when you have large swarms of drones that are apparently flying near, for example, military bases in Virginia or New Jersey, I start to have some questions.
A reported drone activity prompted at least one airport, New York's Stewart International Airport, to temporarily close its runways for about an hour on Friday night.
Apparently, New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Saturday said, quote, this has gone too far and she has directed the New York State Intelligence Center to actively investigate drone sightings and coordinate with federal law enforcement to address the issue.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he's now asking the Department of Homeland Security to deploy special detection systems that use 360-degree technology to detect the drones. He said if this technology exists for a drone to make it up in the sky, there certainly is technology that can track the craft with precision and determine what the heck is going on.
