back when you were the air force a3, you spoke about the capacity crunch facing the air force and you had a powerful example where you explained the assignment of aircraft personnel in a variety of scenarios in combat command and that they were always running out of air power before the core needs were met. how has your time in air combat command impacted your thinking in that regard? gen. kelly: so, good question. capacity is on the forefront of everything we do every day here. i discussed capacity during afa and war fighting capacity is as important as any capability. specifically since desert storm and 1991, we have gone from an air force of 4000 fighters that averaged eight years old prone to fighting the one adversary, the soviets, to 2000 fighters that have been optimized and acclimated for middle east act with -- operations. you can handle it with a smaller fighting force, but a pure adversary puts statements and performance demands on the force that generates stress and risk on the smaller and older fighting force with quantity being a quality all its own and we need every sho

kennedy: what was the explanation from the air force? >> there was none.no explanation, we were ordered to sign nondisclosure statements which we did and for about 27 years, i never spoke about it to anyone. kennedy: go ahead, i want to hear more, i'm at the edge of my seat. [laughter] kennedy: >> in 1994, i picked up a book called top-secret, thought it was might incident, the air force declassified it and sent a request reviewing information to the air force asking for documents about a particular missile shutdown situation, didn't say anything about ufos and low and behold, the air force declassified one of the two incidences, there were two incidents, one in march 16, 1967 and another 24th, 67 which was the one i was involved in but i started speaking openly at that time when i received documents from the air force and i've been speaking now for over 25 years. kennedy: i wish more would speak about it because there is this idea that we haven't visited -- we've been visited by extraterrestrial societies under thousands of years were advance of us becaus

on a royal air force aircraft and i cannot _ air force aircraft and i cannot express my emotions.ions. i feel blessed and i'm so excited. i am free. when we arrived in the uk, the people who greeted us were so friendly and welcomed us warmly. i was surprised by that much kindness and asked myself, why people on the side of the world so friendly towards us? for the first time in my life, i felt i was a human being. everything collapsed after the fall of cargill. the freedom of people and especially the lgbt the freedom of people and especially the l6bt community, has been demolished. we were so scared. as you might know, this community was a secret underground community but we knew each other and our network and if one of us got arrested, they could have found the rest of us. kabul is not a big city and the way the taliban rule the country, it was not that difficult to find high profile lb6ti people. we also had a couple of people were arrested and were so scared. like many other gay men in afghanistan, will lead a double life, i have a wife and kids stop if i was arrested, can ima

, their covid-19 vaccinations, and when you have a force like the air force that is really quite smalleing force strength, that really shows that we're depending on every single individual to do their part, so those that don't do their part, that don't get the vaccination. they isk undermining unit cohesion and morale and mission effective necessary and that becomes a real serious issues potentially for very critical units that the united states depends on. >> that's concerning when you talk about this impacting mission effectiveness and you also have the reserve of the national guard with different vaccination deadlines. they don't have to be vaccinated until june of 2022. you think that's a mistake >> that's right. i think it's a big mistake because the national guard, especially the army natural, is really something that -- a unit that we depend on, a bunch of units that we depend on to handle natural disasters or recently like in afghanistan or in iraq, these units have been critical to our war-fighting capability. now there is a caveat to that deadline and that is if you are deplo

the air force has been carrying out raids in the region for the past week. that's forced the united nations to cease humanitarian flights to the capital mckellar spot warnings of a worse that inc humanitarian and hunger crisis. samuel get to is an ethiopian journalist in addis ababa. he says, the government is suspicious of the un. despite the need for humanitarian aid, the chilton government is assisting that there are targeting military sites and places where the think the t p and f as training their troops. so they're saying the target are not every they ethiopians who reside in the to grey region. again, it's to destroy that element. so for the t p, a left that they declared as a terrorist organization, the ethiopian government has been accusing the u. n. of providing weapons. even resources are and you know, giving some kind of explanation of their success. the success they've been having since mid june, but in terms of ethiopia, ethiopia, again, as a very, you know, a powerful country in court in, you know, this economy compared to other african countri

air force had prior been part of the army. it established the joint chiefs of staff, and it creates the cia, as i said. it's charged with, quote, other functions and duties related to intelligence. that is boring government speak for secret operations. right? covert ops. the budget of the intelligence committee was going to be a national secret. it will be a black budget because if we let the russians know how much we're paying for things in the security, they'll have an estimate of how much money we're spending and what we're spending it on, but this is really important because for the first time in american history, the federal government is saying, we're going to have a part of the government that is outside of democratic observation. we're going to have a part of the government that will do secret things that we won't tell you about. that will spend money we will not reveal, and we will do it to protect us because we have to have secrets to protect ourselves. and that secret state has evolved and grown and grown and involv

air force captain was part of an incident in which a ufo disabled ten nuclear missiles. there has been a long history of ufo incidents and encounters, with much investigation of that from 1947 and even earlier. in september of 1966, i was minuteman launch patrol officer and deputy commander of a launch crew station at minot air force base in north dakota. i was involved in a ufo incident at that time, where a flying object tampered with and took down a total of ten nuclear tipped icbm missiles by rendering them unlaunchable. >> tucker: tom rogan is one of the rare serious journalists, actual journalists, in washington. he has been on the story for years in a very rigorous way., he is a columnist now at the "washington examiner" and joins us tonight for a recap. tom, thanks a lot for coming on. what did you learn today at this event? >> thanks, tucker. i think the key point here is although these gentlemen have been telling their stories for a while, now they are doing it inn a fashion where they can finally be taken seriously by more people, and unfortunately, there were

so the air force is putting out stories about ufos so when people see test aircraft in the air they don't say oh, that's the s 37 stealth fighter fighter. they say, it's a ufo. answer this is a cover-up to get people to believe in ufos so they are not paying attention to what's really going on in areas like area 51. area 51 is an erring an area on a government map that no one knew about prior to conspiracy theorists saying that that is groom lake with your testing the ufos that they got from the aliens by allowing them to abduct people and take their bodily organs, right? have you guys heard of area 51? so there's a thing you know about that on a government map literally listed as area 51 because the name is top secret because we have an ashes could he state that takes large parts of the united states territory and says this is area 51, we can tell you what we are doing here, we can't tell you what we're spending here but it's to keep you safe, trust us. i understand you need to test aircraft and i don't have a problem with that but as a plays into this conspiracy theory, it is the raw st

a conspiracy of the air force. so the air force is putting out stories about ufos, so when people say test aircraft in the air, people don't say, oh, that's 37 stealth fighter, no, it's a ufo. so it's a cover-up to get people to believe in ufos, so they are really paying attention to what is going on in area 51. area 51 was buried on a government math, with people saying that that is green light for the testing of ufos, that they got the aliens, allowing them to adopt people and take their organs. have you guys heard of area 51? right? so here's the thing that you know about, that's on a government map, literally listed as area 51. because the name is top secret, because we have a national security state that takes large parts of the u.s. and says, look, this is area 51, we can't tell you what we are doing here, but it's to keep you safe, trust us. and i understand that you need to test aircraft. i don't have a problem with that. but it plays into this conspiracy theory. this is the roster off to allow this to go o

soes the air force is putting o stories about ufos so that when people see test aircraft in the air, they don't say, oh, that's the f-37 stealth fighter. they say, it's a ufo. soen this is a cover-up to get people to believe in ufos so theyea aren't paying attention what's really going on in areas like area 51. areaea 51 is an area on a government map that no one knew about prior to conspiracy theorists saying that is grim lake where they're testing ufos that they gotbo from the aliensy allowing them to abduct people and takere their bodily organs, right? have you guyss heard of area 51? there is a 5 thing you know abo that's on a government map literallyar listed as area 51, because the name is top secret because we have t a national security state that takes a large partha of the united stat territory and says, this is area 51. we can't tell you what we're doing sthere. we can't tell you what we're spending here, but it's to kee you safe, trust us. i understand youou need to test aircrafts and i don't have a problem with that. but as s it plays into this conspiracy ththeory, it is

there are other arguments that the ufo conspiracy is a conspiracy of the air force. so the air force is putting out stories about ufos so that when people see test aircraft in the air they don't say oh, that's the f-37 stealth fighter. they say it's a ufo and so this is a cover-up to get people to believe in ufos to get people to believe in areas of 51. it is an area on the government map that no one knew prior to conspiracy theories and that is groom lake where they're testing the ufos that they got from the aliens by allowing them to abduct people and take their bodily organs. have you guys heard of area 51? >> so there is a place that you know about on a government map known as area 51 because the name is top secret because we take large parts of the united states territory and say this is area 51. we can't tell you what we're doing here. we can't tell you what we're spending here and it's to keep you safe. trust us. >> as it plays into that conspiracy theory it is the wrong stoufr go on, and the ufos are a cover-up because what they're really doing is they are ta
