Why do the hosts say the UFO news is being “flooded” and what does that mean for the public?

George Knapp 0:00
It's been a really busy uh summer for UFO news, and I'm using air quotes around the word news because some of it of us is of highly questionable veracity. The closer you get to the goodies, the greater the pushback becomes. And I think that's sort of what we're seeing here now. It's like flooding the zone, leaking stuff, so every day is a new headline, which become more unbelievable than the Yeah. And eventually The general public's gonna go, Oh, look at the time, I gotta go. I see you've had a few huge interviews with Robert Bigelow. I was aware that he was going to meet with Trump. He had asked me to help prepare her some material to take along for that that meeting. And we can't Bigelow does not claim credit for what happened next, but three, four weeks later, suddenly Trump starts releasing all this stuff.
George Knapp 0:51
That that fifth bat. The fact that they have released all these three oh twos, I can tell you as a journalist who has worked with the FBI and and against the FBI, trying to get information out of them for decades on public corruption, police corruption, getting a three oh two is hard.
George Knapp 1:16
This is Weaponize. Yeah, we're back. Jeremy, what the hell are you been
Jeremy Corbell 1:20
doing? Ma'am, you know, um, not sometimes you just gotta kind of step back until you have something to say. And that's kind of the mode that that I've been in recently is man, this UFO land has gotten really wild. And no, the government didn't get to me. No, I you know, nothing like that. I've seen some of these rumors, but I really George, I I I stepped back and I was just trying to see where this was going, what was going on. And man, it's gotten Pretty w wild.
George Knapp 1:48
I mean, it's it's good to take a break from this. We're gonna emphasize that point, I think, throughout this conversation. Taking a break from UFO world every once in a while is good for your mental health because a couple of things can happen. You focus on this too much, you can go down the rabbit hole and not get out. It can affect your it can affect your personal life. Uh you start being inundated with wave after wave of crap. Um, it distorts your understanding of reality and you also ignore the rest of the world. What's going on? There's some big stuff going on in our world. You and I wanted to take a little break. Of course, during my break, it turns out I'm working for for Lou Elizondo. And wow, what a harsh taskmaster he is.
George Knapp 2:32
cracking down on me, giving me all kinds of jobs to do. Um, and I I did start uh s having some conversations with our mutual friend Robert Bigelow. You've probably seen some of that. Yeah, that was awesome. I'm gonna ask you you a bunch of questions about that. Yeah, my spare time. You know, I I wanted to spend the summer lollygagging around the pool, playing songs on my lute, being fed grapes one at a time by by bucksome women, and it just didn't work out that way.
Jeremy Corbell 2:58
Yeah, man. Um, it it gets kind of overwhelming. A lot of stuff that we talk about, you know, there's these accusations that go out online and I notoriously don't read it and respond to it. I I don't even give it the the time of day, but sometimes they grow. So I saw that thing about you that you work for Lou Elizondo. I mean, that's that's ridiculous. And I think Lou probably reached out to you right after. Like I never said that. Yeah.
George Knapp 3:22
He says I didn't say it. I never said anything of the kind. I didn't mention your name to that knucklehead. And it's not true, obviously, but Things have a way of picking up steam on on social media.
Jeremy Corbell 3:33
Yeah, I seen that, man. And you know, I was misquoted or not even misquoted. There was made-up quotes at the beginning of like major articles that went out. And I called the editors, like, I never said that. You make it seem like it's a quote. So, you know, I was kind of dealing with that. And I saw the kind of viral headline, you know, that I'm threatening to release thousands of UFO videos if the government doesn't. And, you know, I want The clip, it was on Mystery Wire. I was impassioned, you know. But to not be misunderstood, that was not a threat, that was a warning.
