caught in crossfire.

I would not do that right now.

I would wait a bit or go into Mexico.

Well, look, in the world of national security, the clock is always ticking.

What do I mean by that?

Well, you know, there are foreign adversaries out there that are very much involved in the research of UAP like we are, just like our country.

And what you don't want to do is allow ourselves to get to a point of what we call strategic surprise, right?

All of a sudden you have country X or country Y out there that may not necessarily be friendly to the U.S.,

And all of a sudden they find they have a breakthrough, right?

So China has already admitted they have their own UAP program, so does Russia.

And what we don't want to do is allow ourselves to fall behind some of our adversaries' capabilities.

Now, there's also another part of that conversation too.

What you don't want to do is allow so much time to go by that by the time you are forced to make a decision,

All your options, you've exhausted.

Meaning, let's say that there is an announcement, let's say later this year, that life has been discovered somewhere else off of Earth, right?

You don't want to be in a situation as a government where you are caught flat-footed and surprised by that statement.

You want to be as proactive as possible.

You want to be able to have the conversation, socialize the idea with your citizens.

Because let's face it, governments writ large, the reason why they have the authority they do is because people have faith and confidence in those institutions, in those governments.

And the last place any government wants to be is on their back foot, right, in a situation where they get surprised.
