Matt Laslo is a renegade journalist, which is EXACTLY what we need on this topic. So to not let these Representatives ignore it.
I agree with your comment!!! ;-) He puts shoe leather into digging deeper... He has a good personality too!!!
How is he renegade? I am asking in earnest, trying to look him up as we speak. I heard his name before, but that's about it.
I clicked because of his hair... I ❤ it
Stay on it Mr Graves. Doing great work. Stay on it Matt, need more journalists with balls to ask!
From one Graves boy to another, keep diggin’.
Thank you for covering this. Media is really negligent.
Ryan is the brightest part of the hearing and in my opinion and along with Fravor the most honest, reasonable, and level headed witnesses/whistleblowers ever. Class act.
Definitely the kind of people you’d want to help break the stigma. Heroes.
😮Amen, I'm still excited about the tic tac and the cube in the sphere, I'm praying we get more footage before I leave this earth 🌎 😅 I'm 55 now so hurry up 😅🤠🇬🇧❤🇺🇲🤟
Facts!
Grusch squeezing in at the last minute was a mistake in my opinion.
Hard to doubt the character of those particular sources. Strongly agree. Compare to your favorite candidate for US President for a moment.
We need more reporters who take the UFO/UAP Issue seriously like Laslo does and is willing to ask important questions!!! ;-) I'd like to see him start a channel and bring political office holders on to it for interviews... He knows our system is screwed up and there is a ton of corruption... He knows all the players too!!!
We do have unbelievable reporters like George Knapp who was the pioneer of this field and continues to be. Michael Shellenberger has also done a amazing job covering this. The inside sources he has spoken to and what he has published is awesome. Also Ross Coulthart who in the last 5-6 years has gone from a hardcore skeptic on UFO’s to being one of the award winning journalists who is reporting on this and doing the interview with David Grusch on New Nation. Ross has also done a 180 on his UFO skepticism. He believes Grusch and the other confidential sources he has. Who I also have to give a high five to is News Nation for doing the Grusch interview and they have continued to follow the story and do their own stories on. This past Sunday they were supposed to do a 2 part special on George Knapp and the over 30 years of him reporting and investigating the topic but Israel happened and they rescheduled it to this coming Sunday. Jeremy Corbel has also been a face in this topic ever since he did his documentary on Bob Lazar and Jeremy has released a lot of government videos as well. Having George Knapp as your mentor and on your side helps a little as well. But Jeremy has done a awesome job as well,I’m not taking anything away from him by mentioning Knapp. I have just recently come across Laslo in the last few months but I like what he’s doing and I support him all the way
Matt Laslo seems to have a fantastic and individual style that is so positive and full of energy. I heard him interview one of the politicians, and he had such a laid back non intrusive approach you would think they were having a coffee and a gossip. I’m pretty sure that this disarming way of interviewing is why they volunteer so much info to him. Great work Matt, keep going 👍
He’s a Joo with extreme flair and eccentric hair
I really appreciate Matt and his work. He is one of very few reporters actually doing the work for this topic. Thanks for having him on.
Matt is a rare jewel. We need more like him!!
Always get a kick out of listening to Matt speak who knows the insights in DC
Matt is a truth teller. Good show. We must all stick together.
That last part by Matt was spot on! If you’re only lukewarm on this issue after hearing from Grusch, then you don’t deserve to be in the position you’re in! 🔥🔥💯💯
We need more reporters like Matt . Thanks you for the your service to our country. Thanks for your hard work in aviation Safety and the ufo/ uap community. Have Matt back. Be Safe ✌️ on 🌍
What a gift to the world! Matt Laslo has an infectious attitude that we need more of. Great guest!
100 % brother
That shoot down in Alaska was suspicious and should be looked into!!! ;-) A car sized object that had conflicting reports that it had no propulsion detected but that it interfered with our F-22's sensor systems??? We need to know the skinny on that!!! ;-) C'mon!!!
I am surprised that anyone believes the government will release anything. Dr. Kirkpatrick is a lightweight Assistant Professor. How did he get the job?
I've never heard Matt Laslo impart so much information before.
Great interview. Matt is a real journalist and one that can be trusted.
Thank you to people like Matt, he plays a critical role in bringing this issue to light and holding representatives accountable.
Thank you for reporting this developing issue.
Congress needs to subpoena each leader of each branch of the military, and each department head in the Pentagon, and have them come in one by one (separately), and testify before Congress (under oath), AND subpoena the number 2, and perhaps number 4 person down (in pecking order), in each of these areas.
And have them testify to what? Last week over 30 other whistleblowers who most have firsthand knowledge of these craft and beings testified behind closed doors to Congress,Senate and the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community to their involvement in the legacy UFO retrieval and reverse engineering programs. Like I said a majority of them are firsthand witnesses. I think that these 30 + firsthand witnesses who are currently still working in the legacy UFO program or have worked in the program who have corroborated Grusch’s claims are much better witnesses than heads of the military branches. Just because they are the heads of their branches doesn’t mean that they have ever been read into these legacy UFO programs. Because they have Top Secret clearance doesn’t mean that they have a” need to know “ which is required for these types of unacknowledged special access programs. Who they need to bring in under oath are the people 😂Grusch and I’m sure some of the 30+ who testified last week know of who are running these programs. Grusch has the locations of these craft and beings,who is in charge of these programs and the names of these programs. I think that’s where the focus should be. Also the Shumer Bill which mentions “non-human biologics “ 26 times and demands that private aerospace companies such as Lockheed Martin and others give up the craft,bodies and materials in their possession and if not the government will have “ eminent domain” over the objects. The people in government who are pushing for this know that it’s all true. They know that private aerospace companies have had these craft for decades and they have been trying to reverse engineer them. They know that these programs have been hidden from congressional oversight and received probably hundreds of billions and possibly a trillion dollars over 5 or so decades. If this was some sort of “distraction” like some people who have either very minimal information or zero information on the topic state have no idea of what they are talking about. A Distraction from what I’ve asked them and their response was “You know from the whole Biden and his son thing or Ukraine “. My response was do you think that this is the only time in DC history scandals and politicians getting arrested or a war has happened. It’s been going on in Washington ever since the beginning. David Grusch is a patriot and a hero. The next few months are going to be very interesting
This guy Matt Laslo is on point. Very good. Im gonna call him the "People's Journalist" Thanks buddy
They are never going to allow disclosure the way things stand right now. We have to force the issue via whistblowers.
Thank you for your service. Again.
Brilliant interview! Refreshing, engaging and hopeful 👏👏👏🌞
Matt is a rockstar and so is Ryan. GREAT CONVO!
Keep up the amazing work Pilot Ryan Graves! Thank you 🔵
awesome interview reeal good!
Thank you Mr laslo. You have my support.😊
Very good to see you have Matt on the podcast. His interviews with house members are very informative and important. I do wonder if members have been asked not to talk about it, it comes across like that sometimes.
Fantastic interview!
Wow, surprisingly great guest! Exceeded my expectations. All the guests so far have been excellent but I was unfamiliar with Matt Laslo.
Love this guy, great episode, thank you to you both 👏🏻
GREAT SHOW❤
Matt and Ryan, thank you for your historically important work for humanity
THANK YOU Ryan for having Matt Laslo on, SO IMPORTANT he is, an inquisitive press, a responsive & responsible congress will make disclosure happen as it should, free press, freedom of speech - our information ! The 4th Estate is well with Laslo !
Dang. This guy has a brain. Good to see.
I like that guy.
He has perspective from the trenches.
Impressed with Graves, Laslo, and the community as represented in these comments!
Two legends doing a hell of a lot for disclosure. Great interview guys and keep up the great work!
Matt is a Rockstar journalist , Ryan is one of the coolest cats for the cause , love the contrast of personalities , and for me this is the best episode so far . 👏
Great interview ! Matt Laslo has a niece pair of Bose 901 Series 1! 😀 It was these legendary loudspeakers that triggered my passion for high-fidelity. I'm sure it's just as reliable as its legendary speakers.
Glad I finally watched this interview. It was F’g fantastic! Great job, guys.
Let's go!
Fantastic interview, loved it.
keep it up. your work is so important.
Such a great podcast.
Bravo both of you gentleman. Maybe the best interview here so far, Thanks!
Always such professional content.. first class! Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Thanks Matt and Ryan!
I live on the Mass/NH border and theres definitely sightings. I saw one last night
Awesome episode!
New subscriber here. I love this podcast. Thanks
Great stuff man! ❤❤❤
Stay on this guys. 1987 i got 30 feet from a uap . They dang sure real and here.
Keep up the good fight. Thanks... As you know
Great work. Keep it up!
Thanks for doing this Ryan. You made history in front of congress.
Keep up the good work both of you!!!!!
Great interview Ryan 👏
Brilliant conversation. Luv u ryan and matt ❤
I love Laslo. We are so lucky to have him. He’s exactly right on all fronts. Make em sweat Matt!!!
Great interview/ discussion 👍🏼
Ryan's a really good speaker and conversationalist. All his rhetoric is focused, measured, never-loaded, respectful, non-partisan, and well thought. This isn't just an edited podcast. I've seen him in multiple different areas and situations. I just find it remarkable because... he's a fkn fighter pilot lol.
Really good interview, Matts great really good solid journalist that isn't afraid to get in there and ask the questions others don't to do a proper report and get across to these people in charge that it is an important topic.
This is an important topic, and it's interesting to hear an analysis of the legislative and executive people and processes that are involved in it. To be frank, UAP have been with us for centuries, and possibly thousands of years. There are many urgent problems confronting our country at the moment -- our democracy itself is at stake -- and if at this juncture our representatives need to put this somewhat on the backburner for a while, I'm fine with that. The phenomenon is not going away.
Solid.
Been seeing things in the sky for years 💯
I've witnessed multiple types of UAP that completely defy any explanation as any known technology. The first I witnessed almost 20 years ago and the slow unravelling of this mystery has been painful. The government has literally been telling us that the things we have been seeing with our own eyes are not there. I'm tired of the gas-lighting and lack of progress. I hope this time we have truly cracked open the door.
Love his looks on politics and his humor
This conversation reminded me of an officer talking to a young enlisted dude 😂. If your like Ryan, you know how to make it work perfectly. Ryan, you’re awesome. Thanks!
Great discussion. Congress should be pushed to follow the money. Exorbitant funding of SAPs should be alarming to them especially since they are considering cutting funding to social programs. How our money is being spent and on what needs to be addressed despite where they fall on the UAP issue.
If one of these object comes in contact with a civilian airliner. (Collision, abduction, or damage)What is the plan?
What if one of these crafts wants to communicate, what will the USA gov do? Shoot it?
What if one of these crafts lands in the middle of a large city, what will the gov do?
I would be surprised if they didn't shoot at them, first responders at least. If there was a plan, that would be acknowledgement of the possibility, which if in place would be fairly common knowledge presumably since so many people work in those services.
Laslo is right character. I rate him highly
This was intresting.
We need to amend the constitution to to say:
“the President,the Vice President, & ALL of Congress, shall have equal, and the highest security clearances possible. There shall be no higher security clearances than this. This is to assist in providing oversight and accountability, of the government, to the citizens of the United States, and includes overseeing all government contractors, (and the like), and their operations, as well as the operations of their affiliates and subcontractors.”
The Senate Intelligence Committee does have the highest of clearances.
They have it because they're responsible for overseeing ALL intelligence activities that are conducted by or on behalf of the DoD and the Pentagon. That includes conducting oversight of intelligence collection, analysis, and dissemination activities, as well as making sure those activities are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
They also have the authority to reveal ANY classified material TO anyone they decide needs to know. But more importantly in Grusch's case, they also have the authority to allow anyone to reveal any and all classified information TO them.
So this bullshit about him not having a clearance so he can't reveal anything to committee members in a SCIF, is itself bullshit.
Which begs the question, why the hell hasn't it happened yet, and if it has, why has no one told the public he's answered the classified questions he promised to in the hearings?
There are no good reasons this hasn't happened by now.
Would you give the highest intel clearances to Trump and his family to sell to the highest bidder?
This is the right kind of dude.
I love this guy…. The epitome of the free press
I can't wait to see what happens over the next few months.
I live at the oceanfront in virginia beach and have videos and pictures of these things. I see and watch them dancing around the sky at a specific time of night. Almost every time i go out. Would love to share this stuff withy ryan graves but i swear its damn nearly impossible. So frustrating knowing i have this decent evidence and nobody important to show and reach out too!
That’s a famous haircut…
Fantastic episode, 'subscribed', we need more of these reporters and Americans pushing their leaders to expose these unnecessary secrets. When does keeping the secret in the name of national security actually hard national security? I think that's already happening now.
A tiny mustache would have this guy looking like an infamous little man from history 😅
Any know what Gillibrand said to constituents? I just started looking but haven't found that yet
This guy gets it.
Matt gives me hope that we have soldiers out there in the trenches keeping this alive with the people who matter. Thanks to him. Ryan, love to you brother, thank you for everything!!
Ryan, if you see this, I'd like to ask: what are the chances that any of the uap in our skies are biological in nature?
I've been waiting🤠🤟🇬🇧🙏🇺🇲 keep pushing the envelope Ryan, Bingo Bingo Bingo "Bitchin Bessy when you're on Skoshi Fuel" ⛽ Balls To The Wall 🤟🤠🇬🇧❤🇺🇲 we're going BALLISTIC 🚀
34:50 you tell ‘em 👏
I think the only way we will ever get a definitive explanation of what exactly this phenomenon is, is if these whistleblowers defy the laws and regulations concerning the classification of the information. I want to know what this is, and I want to understand the implications of what it is. Yet I don’t think we should have to find out in a manner that will put people at risk of being imprisoned or eliminated.
Why and how did Grusch testimony get buried in Congress?
Damn Ryan when this sweet ass merch dropping!?!?
When someone looks that weird you cant trust them
Don’t forget about Ross Coulthart!
The executive branch, Congress and Intel communities all took interest in my little site about Mars (Cydonia area) anomalies in 1997/98, so I’m quite sure they know all about what’s in our skies. Just a matter of time now.
OWNERSHIP POGSLIDE
The Senators are too wrapped up in their own issues and UAP's are a fringe topic to them.
Correct me if I’m wrong but Ryan never saw any crafts other than radar data right
Good question about Biden. We might see him entering the conversation if he gets re-elected.
the best thing Congress can do, is pass very few new laws.
Better yet, they should be repealing some old ones.
Peace in the 😢middle east & 😢Bronx nyc
My problem is that the pivot to admitting UAPs is only to spread fear - for increasing gov Black Budgets. Many of which are to be used against the American people.
I’m sure Lu Elizondo could give you some insight on why he stepped down. I don’t need the government to tell me that there are alien craft flying in our airspace and that we have and have had visitors or residents on this planet for many many years. If some of these missing 411s and animal mutilation are related to this phenomenon then I can see why top government brass don’t want talk about it.
