What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, I'm Josh Spiegel, host of the podcast Lunatic in the Newsroom. It's news like you've never heard before. We'll talk about things like a possible ban on recreational pot, Americans giving up on dressing like civilized human beings, and a call for fraternities to be outlawed. If you enjoy wild overthinking, Lunatic in the Newsroom is for you. It's funny, informative, and emotionally unstable. Lunatic in the Newsroom. Listen today.
Can you tell us how you landed an interview with Tim Phillips, the former number two guy at Arrow?
He said that some of the things that we're seeing came from highly qualified observers, and they saw some truly, truly astonishing performance capabilities, things that no known human system could behave like.
They're not going to give it up easily, you know, unless a president stays on top of it. and forces the issue, he's not going to get to the bottom of it.
A lot of people are thinking on Tuesday or Wednesday that there's going to be during the State of the Union, there's either going to be the words UFOs in it or there's not. And I would suspect that there's two speeches that have been written and that they're debating right now at a very high level with the comms people. I would just suspect. This is Weaponized.
So, Jeremy, you remember not that long ago, we would talk with Chris Sharp, a talented young journalist who's trying to get his head around the UFO issue and all the different tentacles it has. And we would help him out a little bit. And now the tables have turned and we have to grovel to him that maybe he'll share some tidbits or scraps or breadcrumbs or something like that. Remember that? Man, I love that kid.
He turned from like, have you seen the Mogwai become a gremlin because they ate after midnight? They look like so cute and cuddly and you underestimate them. And then they're this vicious, ferocious. Everybody got to watch gremlins. Yeah, man. Chris Sharp is sharp. He is a dagger. He is the dagger that's going to deflate the disinfo balloon. What he's done is amazing.
Yeah, he breaks some really great stories in Liberation Times and some other publications.
What led to Chris Sharp's interview with Tim Phillips?
Chris, welcome back to Weaponized. Can you tell us how you landed an interview with Tim Phillips, the former number two guy at Arrow?
Firstly, thank you so much for the praise. I remember growing up watching you on television, George, and I remember sleeping on the couch with my family because we were homeless and watching Jeremy and Lazar on Joe Rogan. So I've certainly come a long way. So... Yes, I messaged Tim Phillips, the former deputy director and former acting director of Arrow on LinkedIn. Just asked him if I could potentially interview him. And he said yes. So, yeah, it was it was actually quite easy. Any conditions placed on the interview about where you can go, what you can ask? No, he actually didn't know who I was.
I remember when he got the job, Jeremy, you and I were told by somebody, hey, that's a pretty good guy. And we're thinking, oh, great. This is great. We're going to have a good, honest broker of information on the inside and arrow. And then, you know, the next time we really start hearing things from him, he sounds like the spawn of Kirkpatrick, like he was his illegitimate kid or something. Because everything that came out of him might as well have been from Kirkpatrick. Chris, do you... Did you get a sense that maybe he's freer to speak now that he's out from under the umbrella of Arrow and is more willing to engage? Or is he the same guy that was so difficult to deal with while he had the job?
Yes. Firstly, I... I did like him. He was giving up his free time. I think anyone who gives up their free time, you know, for an interview, sit down with someone when they're not going to earn any money or anything from it. And, you know, he told me it was his anniversary as well. So he was speaking to me on his anniversary. So, you know, firstly, props to him for speaking to me. And he wasn't nasty. I pressed him a few times and he didn't get too defensive or anything.
