  • THIS episode hits!

    I usually tire of the UFO talk, although I, too, want very much to know that ‘we aren’t alone’ in the universe. However, this episode hit home in my perception and conception of a world beyond my daily latte at blasé cafe (when will BRCC come to the Central Valley of California?). Your guest today, along with your input in painting possibilities, captured my imagination and so much so that my watching the Moon Landing (1969) as a little kid…took me to the doorstep of the notion of other dimensio... more

  • Must listen!

    Great topics and knowledgeable guests. Please fix your volume! Ads blow out ears while guest’s mic is often too low. Makes it difficult to listen sometimes.

  • Peter Zeihan is a bad guest

    He sounds intelligent, but as soon as you know about the topic he’s discussing, you realize he makes wild conclusions. For example, his understanding of NATO “Supreme Commander” is just incorrect. I’ll add his random accusations people are under Russian control.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

INSIDE the Pentagon's UAP Task Force: A Rear Admiral Wants Disclosure (w/ Tim Gallaudet)
Q: What motivated you to testify publicly about UAPs and support witnesses who spoke up?
A sense of obligation to support fellow sailors who reported encounters and a belief that the public deserves to know the nature of reality, balanced with a concern for national security and responsible disclosure.
War Correspondent: Kidnapped in Syria, Covering the Global Drug Trade, and the Future of Cartels (Jonathan Alpeyrie)
Q: It has on my show notes that you are a conflict journalist. Would you agree with that title or what do you call yourself?
I see myself as a conflict journalist with a deep historical perspective, often operating in dangerous zones to capture moments that illuminate the realities of war and its impacts, while acknowledging the personal and ethical complexities of embedded reporting.
Chris Hansen: 22 Years, Thousands of Predators, and What Keeps Him Going
Q: What should parents do to protect their children in a digital environment?
Maintain open dialogue, avoid overreacting to technology, monitor digitalFootprints prudently, encourage kids to report uncomfortable encounters, and educate them about not sharing personal information or meeting online contacts in person without parental oversight.
Chris Hansen: 22 Years, Thousands of Predators, and What Keeps Him Going
Q: What has been learned about prosecutorial challenges and why some cases don't lead to convictions?
Even with strong evidence, prosecutors can be overwhelmed by other violent crime priorities, concerns over chain of custody for chats, or fear of inflating charges; collaboration with law enforcement chatters and proper documentation helps mitigate these issues, leading to a high prosecution rate in many cases.
Chris Hansen: 22 Years, Thousands of Predators, and What Keeps Him Going
Q: What mechanisms do predators use on Roblox to contact children and steer conversations off-platform?
Predators often initiate contact within Roblox, then move conversations to less regulated spaces like Discord or direct texting, using gaming anonymity as a hook and grooming techniques to build trust before pushing for more explicit exchanges.
