Transcript:

hi everybody I'm Lou alzando and uh it's
been a while um please forgive me for
not engaging you folks recently on
social media um I realize I've been a
little bit LAX um I promise you there's
a lot of things that I've been engaged
with behind the scenes in Washington DC
and frankly around the world on this
topic there's a lot happening um it's
not an excuse uh it's just an
explanation why I haven't been uh very
good on on social media recently but I
want to take this opportunity to address
some of your questions and specifically
on YouTube I've been promising to get to
some of your questions for a while now
so I thought this would be a good
opportunity I've got a slight lull uh
where I can now um take your questions
directly and I think it's important
enough where um where I carve some time
out to to make this happen there's a lot
of things happening in the very near
future that I think are going to
continue to help Drive the disclosure
movement uh but until then I also
realize that I need to engage you more
um it's uh you are very much part of
that equation so I've invited a very
good friend of mine uh mark kovich from
uh from across the pond over in the
United Kingdom to help uh Shepherd this
process um he has forgotten more about
social media than I will ever know about
social media so he has uh aggregated a
lot of your questions over the course of
several weeks and months uh and even the
last time I was I was engaging Mark
there's a lot of questions you all have
so we're going to try to address some of
those today this afternoon uh we won't
have time for every one of the questions
obviously there's a there's thousands
and thousands of questions but we're
going to try to pick some of the big
ones that you all have been uh been
asking and see if I can address them for
you here today so with that uh and no
further Ado let me introduce you to the
uh one and only Mark
kovich it's good to see you again are
you ready for this Lou I am ready yeah I
uh let me uh clear my voice a little bit
by me me me me and get ready to uh well
look this these videos are very much
going to be minimally um me talking I
want to try my best to just pick some of
the questions I've gone through the
YouTube comments and I just want to
shout out to everyone listening right
now remember um all of flu's social
media platforms they're all out there
whether you use Tik Tok Instagram
YouTube do me a favor go and follow
across the multiple platforms and if you
have a question that you want answered
just drop it in the comments even with
this video here um I will be going
through every now and again and picking
them and firing them lose way so Lou
thank you for taking the time to do this
I'm aware of all the things you've got
going on I know you are literally
packing your bags and getting ready to
do yeah you know your first live
speaking engagements around the United
States I know that there's a thousand
things happening with the book and
everything so thank you I'm going to
start off with the person who managed to
get the first comment on your first
YouTube video okay so this is someone uh
called Olivia barad 5154 from YouTube
and he just simply said I love you man
and it's a nice thing to say because I
love you too
thank you very
hard you know what there are thousands
and thousands of comments literally uh
way over 3,000 uh some of them are
batched I'm going to try my best to pick
them but I did want to give credit where
credit was due for the guy who managed
to get the first listen Mark I
appreciate that and I appreciate uh of
course the the handle what can you
repeat the handle one more time the
YouTube handle so I can thank them
expressly I think it's pronounced
Olivier barad which is
Ol hopefully I pronounced it correctly
but thank you very much also before we
begin Mark just real quick little shout
out to mark thank you for what you do
Lou you are far too kind far too kind
well if I may I'm going to jump into the
first question which comes from
Instagram this is from Steve uh Quia I
think kwi a t um 1982 so this VI
Instagram he says Lou uh will you be
popping over to the UK for any live
dates and what's the reason you decided
now was the right time to do inperson
speaking events great question so yes I
am high tailing it over to the UK one of
my most favorite places in the whole
wide world um I've often said this
before every time I take my wife over
there um if you look carefully at London
Heathrow in in the international
terminal you're going to notice what
appear to be scratch marks um they're
actually claw marks made by my wife as I
had to drag her away from the UK each
time to come back to the US um we we
love the UK it's really our second home
and so yes I will be coming back to the
UK uh probably in uh late November and
early December to spend some time there
to do some engagements to also engage
with you and folks like you uh the
second question is why now well my
response is pretty simple and probably
kind of cheeky but don't take it that
way why not now's the best time to do it
we should have happened two months ago
two years ago two decades ago um if not
now then when so I think the time is
right it's been right for a while
there's a lot of things happening both
internationally and here in the United
States where the conversation is
becoming far more acceptable and now we
need government leadership involved in
some of those conversations not not
necessarily politics right not political
leaders but but governmental leaders um
to in in both in the scientific
Community the academic Community um in
the defense communities intelligence
communties get everybody together under
one tent start having this
conversation love that next question uh
this comes from YouTube this is Brian
Matthews
232 uh he says good luck with a new
channel what percentage of your
knowledge on this topic do you think you
have revealed so far
o well I revealed 100% of what I could
reveal through legal channels uh my book
was reviewed after an a year process uh
through the Pentagon it finally got
approved for me to release and what you
see in the book was basically three and
a half year effort um to get out just a
a small portion of what what I've been
privy to um probably five maybe 8% of
what I know uh I have been able to
discuss but each year um it it goes
higher and higher um there's more and
more and more percentage um the book
obviously my book coming out there's
going to be people who read it and say
wow I I had no idea about that and
that's because I received um approval to
do so so my hope is that we can continue
to have this conversation and every time
we talk more and more is going to be
revealed in fact I'm doing a talk here
publicly here in the US and probably in
the UK too where I'm going to go to even
more detail uh I have a very
comprehensive briefing that I'll be
providing people now on the road uh to
talk about this topic and talk about the
physics and some of the theories and the
mathematics and whatnot so um I'm very
encouraged that we're going to have a
lot more information here to provide um
forthcoming the next question is um
mixture between jl11 and someone called
uh hello how are you doing on YouTube
and I want to join this these two
questions from these two uh subscribers
because it's actually reflective of many
many many questions so as a reminder I'm
aware there thousands and thousands of
comments and questions this is really a
bit of a representation of
many tough question I think but um
someone says so the first question is
you've started a channel a month ago uh
or months ago at this point and you're
not uploading content frequently
uh the the question is why have you been
so quiet on social media channels but
that's kind of backed up by others
saying is this really you is it that
someone's kind of forcing you to make
these videos or something right so it's
a bit of a I guess a coales question off
is this really zondo that I'm speaking
to right now well I I don't want to make
content for the sake of making just
content right to me quality of
information is much more important than
quantity um I could do a video every
single day and just just regurgitate and
recycle things that people already know
I'm not sure that's very helpful I'm not
sure people really want that I think
what people want is when they do speak
to have new information and so that's
why I'm very judicious in my Approach
when I use social media to either
comment on something or break some new
news um there's a lot happening folks
there's a lot happening um there are um
you know there's a chance I may be be
testifying here soon uh I won't go into
details but um I was going to say if it
helps for those listening I can tell you
for sure this really is the real Lando
oh yeah question it's definitely him
this is the next question from someone
who calls themselves acid in my wine and
this is again through YouTube uh firstly
hey Lou I really appreciate all of the
work that you're doing in your book you
stated a prevailing theory that the UAP
are using water splitting hydrogen and
then using this uh hydrogen Photon for
energy
assuming this is the case do you think
it could explain dark oxygen because it
does look similar to solid nuclear waste
and I was curious if that's at all
related yeah I've I've actually heard
about that um I am not an expert in dark
oxygen um I'm familiar with the Rel the
the relatively new uh announcements
about it and it's rarified form and what
it is um I unfortunately I'm I'm not an
expert in dark oxy oxygen to to to say
definitively one way or the other but
when you look at the the the the theory
of mining water um the reason why it's
water isn't not necessarily because it's
just water right not you know we drink
water because we have to to survive but
if if some civilization is deriving
energy that they
require um using one of the most
fundamental elements in our universe
right the hydro being the hydrogen atom
one proton neutron and one
electron um then it makes sense that if
you needed to break that down to get to
the subatomic level to really release
some of the energy you need that's
that's that's contain in those tightly
packed uh relationships that subatomic
particles have then you'd start with a
hydrogen atom you wouldn't start with
something complicated and spend more
energy trying to break down a complex
molecule into something simple uh when
you can start with water that's really
just hydrogen and oxygen remove the the
oxygen molecule and now you've got all
the hydrogen you need you you know you
could you could mine hydrogen almost
effortlessly U people often say well
hydrogen is the most um most common
element in the universe it is but it's
also the most diffuse meaning it's in
these large gaseous clouds uh and and to
mine something like that probably
wouldn't be be very e easy right it's
imag imagine trying to go into a cloud
to harvest water probably better to go
to water to harvest water so in this
particular case if you wanted to harvest
hydrogen
um hydrogen is found naturally in a very
condensed state in only uh one
combination and that is with oxygen and
that makes H2O or
water the next question comes from
Richard till
6331 he says Lou Alando thank you for
everything you do I have a question if
Russia were getting ready to launch a
nuclear weapon do you think these quote
unquote beings aliens Etc have ability
to neutralize these weapons personally I
wish they'd be proactive and neutralize
every nuclear weapon yeah here here me
too uh hell I wish they neutralize every
weapon period um but that's not up to me
um they do have the we do know that they
have the ability to interfere with our
nuclear capabilities um we have seen
them in some cases would appear to be
deactivating uh an entire flight of of
our nuclear missiles ballistic missiles
but as as encouraging as that may be in
Russia was a different case uh a UAP
actually armed one and so there in lies
my concern and furthermore if you look
at the Historical your question on the
historical context of of of the greater
UAP issue you'll notice
something in fact um there's only been
one country that's ever uh deployed a an
atomic or nuclear device and that's been
the United States and we did in World
War II and we vaporized almost half a
million Souls off the planet uh almost
instantly and the UAP didn't stop that
from happening either in Hiroshima or
Nagasaki furthermore they didn't stop
the development from the atomic age to
the nuclear age where we have go from
the kiloton yield to now the megga ton
yield right the city squashers the the
real big nukes um they didn't stop the
testing of of nuclear technologies in
the deserts of Nevada or Russia doing
high altitude tests or underwater tests
in fact they didn't stop the
proliferation of nuclear weapons going
from just the United States then Russia
and now everybody to include possibly
Iran and North Korea and Pakistan and
India and you know name your country all
have now nuclear capabilities nuclear
weapons right they didn't stop that from
happening and they didn't stop some of
the nuclear accidents like Three Mile
Island or Chernobyl or
Fukushima so um the argument that you
know are they here to help us there's
just no evidence to suggest that um
other than you know maybe wishful
thinking now I wish the same thing I
really hope that's the case we just
don't have any real information to
substantiate that and so there's a lot
of people at the Pentagon that don't
want to take that risk they're not
willing to to say look I'm going to
gamble your future and our future and
our safety because we hope these things
are here for for nice reasons right
that's a gamble that that your National
Security apparatus and most national
security apparatuses aren't willing to
take that chance and I frankly I don't
blame them I I understand that mind
mindset here's a challenging question
from roasted coyote 1 and uh this is one
I saw on Instagram a lot a little bit on
X but this is pitched on YouTube right
hit me reincarnation suggests humans are
extra dimensional how does that fit into
the puzzle Dr Jim Tucker UVA has written
extensively on reincarnation what's your
take on this well I don't know if
reincarnation is necessarily
extradimensional or hyperdimensional or
transdimensional you know part of the
problem is we really have to be specific
on our use of certain terminology for
example we used to say UFO well what
does that mean and what about Usos and
you know what about you know are they
even really flying so now we change it
to UAP and whatnot terms are important
um when we say reincarnation that is a
theological religious
philosophical uh belief system that
requires um the belief that people are
kind of recycled kind of uh kind of
Green Technology right we we live we
learn we die and then we come back again
and we kind of go through these
experiences and this hope that we will
eventually U evolve ourselves
emotionally and physically and
spiritually to to become the the perfect
human being um whatever that Perfection
looks like right it's in eye of the
beholder
um
religion by definition is Supernatural
religion is extradimensional it's a
belief and by the way you notice I'm not
giving you my own personal belief here
doesn't mean I'm not I'm not religious
and I'm not spiritual let me just cave
out that but I'm saying the belief in
religion and spirituality by definition
has to be you have to believe in inter
Dimensions because it's a belief in
something an idea where when someone
dies they potentially go somewhere else
but where they go isn't really a
physical place is it now it's it's a
place that is sometimes called heaven or
even some may say Purgatory for
something else some may say hell but
either way it's a new type of existence
a different type of existence than the
one we're living right now in a
three-dimensional space and time and
whatnot so the kind two kind of go hand
in hand now when it comes to the UAP
phenomenon are we now saying like some
have said before that UAP really are um
and and these you know aliens if you
want to call them aliens or non-human
intelligence um are themselves Spiritual
Beings you know uh are they some have
said that they could could be Angels um
and if you believe in angels right then
one has to say okay then you're
believing in in an interdimensional
being or a supernatural being and
therefore uaps and UFOs and the whole
topic belong in the in the realm of of
that conversation of inter or Ultra
Dimensions or hyper Dimensions that we
can't perceive because of our
fundamental lack of Senses we have five
senses to judge the Universe um if we
can't touch it taste it hear it smell it
Etc it doesn't doesn't exist we can't
interact with it unless we do through
technology
um but we know that there is reality
Beyond those five senses right in fact
most of the universe lies Beyond those
five senses um and so you know I can't
sit here and tell you definitively that
UAP are interdimensional some have
certainly um have have postulated that
um that they could be
interdimensional but I'm not sure we
even understand enough about our own
Dimension our own reality to speculate
on what another reality or a parallel
reality or maybe a shadow biome if you
feel a shadow biosphere maybe living in
and around us all along but uh we just
can't perceive it you know this kind of
goes back to the old stories and and
lore of like fairies where to this day
people believe in them right they
believe in them just as we believe in
and everything else um but they're they
they postulate that these things live in
a in a parallel Dimension and and most
of the time we can't interact unless
there's some sort of special
circumstances maybe where the two
Dimensions come together and now you you
kind of have this bleed off effect where
you can um I am not an expert in
religion I am not an expert in
philosophy I am not an expert um in
necessarily uh interdimensional science
or string theory so I want to be careful
not to offer my opinion one way or the
other all I want to do is address the
question you're asking me um so you know
I'm I'm I'm I'm listening and I'm
understanding and at the same time try
to explain
why I don't have an answer simply
because you know I I don't have an
answer I'm not I'm not an expert enough
in those fields to tell you one way or
the other but it's a great
question love that question next one is
from L stand Farm
2273 uh this was one of the very early
commenters on your first YouTube video
asks Lou can you expand on the Italian's
helicopter that was allegedly shot down
by UAP and anything we have learned from
that yeah one of the lead investigators
was actually the equivalent of the
Italian Commander for the seals uh their
Navy Seals equivalent Special Operations
um they so let me give you a little
background there was this city uh on an
island that was being plagued by um the
what they considered um fires that were
just occurring randomly and when you
looked at the when not me when the
investigators looked at the burn
patterns in some of these older houses
where the copper wiring was a conduit
they were actually able to calculate the
wavelength and they they they thought
this was some sort of directed energy
initially they thought it was a Soviet
sub uh a Russian submarine um near the
Horizon that was shooting uh directed
energy beams at the Village uh and uh it
was causing these fires and so because
of that they built this huge Faraday
cage actually um around the village uh
in front of the village to try to see if
they could actually collect these waves
when they started um seeing UAP discs
floating orbs uh silver discs and
there's multiple multiple pictures and
photographs and videos I actually spoke
to the people who ran the investigation
it was a top secret investigation at the
time not us top secret so I can talk
about it foreign top secret um and it's
no longer top secret they released the
results so let me just caveat that I'm
not speaking out of turn I'm not talking
about anything
classified um but uh um when they got up
close and personal to to one of these
UAP it reacted uh and in fact it uh they
they described um it shooting out some
sort of beam and interfering with the
helicopter um not just the mechanics but
the actual physical structure and when
the helicopter came down to do an
emergency landing um they looked at the
the blade of one of the helicopter
blades that provide lift for the
helicopter and it appeared to be blown
out from the inside out um as if uh
think of think of sap on a tree when
there's a fire right and then that sap
Burns inside the tree and kind of
explodes the tree very much the same way
and um they there were I've seen the
pictures I've seen the video there are
is absolutely something that is pursuing
this helicopter this helicopter was a
undercover helicopter right uh you
couldn't tell it was a military
helicopter only the people flying it
knew it was a military Mission and um so
they were very they were very concerned
about that uh fascinating fascinating
investigation and it's a great question
because people forget about that and
these types of Investigations are
occurring around the
world this one's from bod filler
9783 Lou we keep hearing rumors about a
quote unquote major event that could be
the reason for the disclosure timeline
that is now in place does this event
have anything to do with this asteroid
apothys scheduled very narrowly to our
planet in 2027 negative it has nothing
to do with the asteroid apus and its
approach to Earth it has to do with
something else
potentially which I'm not prepared to go
into conversation right
now understood and I know naturally a
lot of people would be curious uh on
that note is there anything you'd want
to expand on that when it comes to 2027
I'm going to not 2027 but I'm going to
there may been some other dates proposed
but I'm going to let the experts um
noodle on that that and figure that out
um you know it's certainly too premature
for me to say anything um one way or the
other um because I I we simply don't
have enough data so I'm just going to do
a polite pass on that question uh and
you know
that good question
understood this next one comes from Miss
Mary contrary and this is through
Instagram here's a question which says
Lou do you think it's possible to back
engineer these things or you know is it
the case that we just don't know the
physics no I think we know the physics
and I sure hope we have the capacity to
reverse engineer it uh I cannot say
definitively one way or the other if we
are or if we have any intention to
that's not my place to do so um but um
you know we're we're we're we're we're
here in the US we're a clever group of
little monkeys you know we can figure
things out pretty good uh and certainly
if there's an advantage that can be
gained by understanding some sort of new
technology My Hope Is that there's
somebody in our government doing that uh
that's about all I'm prep prepared to
say right now good question um boy these
are tough questions
wow this is what I love I love your
willingness to go out onto social media
and have these direct conversations with
people because there are great questions
and it is an honor to be able to uh take
your questions and pose them to L in
this manner and um here we go for the
next one uh by way just say it feels
like you want to know what it feels like
it feels like being a bug that's been
put into a petri dish under a bright
white light and someone's looking at you
through a
microscope I bet so I bet I can only
imagine and the other thing that people
have to realize is uh you know I'm
obviously aware Lou just how busy your
schedule is at the moment I realize that
we don't have a lot of time and I can
only imagine how many different
directions your brain is being pulled
apart in so the fact that you've got the
cognitive function still to try and
answer these I'm very impressed oh I
didn't say have cognitive functions at
all at this
point I think I'm probably flatlining
pretty much right at this point I'm I'm
uh I'm pretty physically and emotionally
and mentally exhausted but um look it's
it's important and I've got it a lot
better than other people Mark you know
that um you know i' I've always
considered myself a blessed man uh I've
I've i' I've achieved more than I ever
dreamed of achieving and I I've been
able to to experience more than I ever
thought I would experience and and I
I've I've I've had more love in my life
than than I probably deserve so um I'm
I'm a very blessed man and and a lot of
people out there had of it a hell of a
lot tougher than me so I'm not going to
complain I'm going to continue doing
what I try to do the best uh and just
answer people's questions and um you
know that's if you ask me a hard
question that's what's wine that that's
what wine is for at the end of I love
that I love that okay so uh probably
worth noting that very right exactly
well this isn't going to be the only
time Lou is jumping on his YouTube
channel we plan to do this a lot so this
W be the last opportunity for questions
um look Lou doesn't have too much time
so I'm going to wrap up with probably
three more questions but please if
you're listening to this right now jump
onto the socials go to uh Lou elisondo
dofficialjp
much more frequently more often even if
it's literally a driveby while I'm
driving somewhere um I I want to make
sure I address people's questions as
much as
possible well here we go this is Allison
James Murphy 2744 through YouTube is
asking uh assuming this person's read
your book um have you seen any more orbs
I take my hat off to you your wife and
your daughters keep strong best wishes
from South Wales
UK wow thank you so much um we haven't
recently in in in some time
um pretty much when I when I remov
myself from a tip um what some people
refer to as the high strangeness I don't
know if I'd call it that I just call it
seeing some weird orbs in the house um
that subsided uh substantially um and we
haven't had that issue since certainly
not here in Wyoming and and when we were
in
California um so uh yeah weird I mean at
it the end of the day I can't even tell
you if it was related to to atip other
than other people in atip were having
the same experiences around the same
time um you know someone came to me and
definitively said it was ball lightning
okay sure maybe uh didn't look like any
ball lightning I've ever seen before uh
and um you know it happened when I came
into the program and it stopped when I
left so you know interesting coincidence
there and again experienced by other
people witnessed by other people who
were also in the program um I don't what
to make of it I I don't you know I I I
wanted to put it in the book because it
was true it happened um I knew that some
people would probably read that and it
would probably be a detriment to my
credibility oh Lou's gone down the woo
path look I'm just telling you what
happened I I can't tell you if they're
related you know seems like they are but
I also could be wrong um could be a
totally natural explanation for it I
don't know of one but it's possible so
you know I'm not going to rule that out
and I'm certainly not going to sit here
and tell you that everybody should you
know duck for cover and and avoid orbs
um because that was not my experience um
that may have been other people's
experience but it was not
mine here's one from Francis Cruz a811
says what do you know about the project
blue beam and what do you think of the
Disco disclosure of Dr Steven
Greer um I'm not overly familiar with
Project Blue beam I know what it is
superficially
um as far as commenting on other
individuals as people have asked me
about Bob Lazar and him look I I don't
talk about people I've never met um you
know I I have a personal
challenge I I don't like people being
deceived um and there are individuals
out there I'm not going to say
specifically who you can fill in the
blanks that have been caught red-handed
um defrauding people basically claiming
to do some sort of UFO summoning and
then
potentially allegedly uh paying somebody
money to drop flares out of a plane um
you know I if that's true then I want
nothing to do with it I that's I I don't
like it you know people the right out of
the gate the moment I came out of the
government people never even knew me
were making accusations I was I was a
disinformation agent first of all you
don't even know what disinformation
means okay secondly um I'm I was Counter
Intelligence which is different than
deception operations that's just people
in a vernacular trying to create a soup
and saying oh he he there he's one of
those guys well I'm not and I wasn't so
um you know that's just ignorance um by
by a lot of people um I don't speak ill
of people um my mother always taught me
if I have nothing kind to say don't say
it at all um so I'm not going to comment
on Dr Greer or anybody else um you know
I I I don't I don't do that now if they
want to do it that's on them you know
that their mother obviously didn't teach
them well but as for me um that's kind
of my Golden Rule I I prefer not to
speak ill of people I have nothing kind
to say I just simply won't say it at all
all right last couple of questions and
then I know you got to jump on a plane
so here we go from J djs1
100 who is going to dissect these
implants and maybe prove to the world
that they are not human made so have you
learned anything about these implants
has anyone been able to have yeah I mean
the problem right now they've been
locked up kind of within government
channels My Hope Is that we can get some
academics and scientists on the outside
uh to do some research on it whether
it's new new stuff new new uh debris or
objects that have been removed from
somebody's body uh from a civilian
doctor or the government decides to
partner with some of the civilian
doctors and say look this is what we
have this is what we we've removed over
the course of a year 10 years 40 years
from individuals um I I I think that's
very important and I would I would
support that endeavor 100% I think
that's where we need to go quite frankly
sounds good well here's one to to end on
and of course like we've said already
we're going to be doing this um a little
bit more frequently as we move forward
you're about to jump on your first live
inperson speaking engagements what are
you trying to achieve going out on the
road and and meeting people and doing
this talk what's what's your goal Lou
yeah good question mark the reality is
I've done Live Events before um I've
I've done several of them I when I have
the time uh and that's a way to engage
with people and talk with people
personally and and answer their
questions directly what I hope to
achieve here is twofold a increase
awareness of the topic so it's more
palatable to have the conversation it's
no longer filled with stigma and
unnecessary taboo but two start engaging
the people for what they think we should
do right I've been doing this now for
seven years and we've had a game plan I
was very open with the American people
what my game plan was how we were going
to do it the five pillars of Engagement
to include legislative engage engagement
executive engagement uh we had um
engagement with the media International
engagement and finally public engagement
and I've been very open about that i'
I've told everybody from day one what my
strategy was and how we were succeeding
and in some cases how we were failing um
but now I think we've come to the time
come to a point I think now we have come
to a point in the conversation where we
need to open the tent and bring more
people under the tent and start figuring
out what does the everyday person want
from this topic what does it mean to
them how would they like us to hand this
what does disclosure really look like
right is it full open kimono or is it
just the acknowledgement that hey we're
not alone um because this conversation
has always involved people and affects
I've I've always told people affects
each and every one of us equally and yet
differently depending on the way you
were raised and your religious and
cultural backgrounds Etc and there are
reasons to have a three or fourstar
General in this conversation as it
relates to National Security but this is
a much bigger conversation ation isn't
it this is a conversation that affects
us as a people from a psychological
perspective a sociological perspective a
theological perspective a philosophical
perspective and I'm not sure that a
general is necessarily qualified to lead
the conversation in those regards maybe
it's better that we have a priest or a
rabbi or a mom as part of that
conversation maybe we have uh you know
just regular citizens as part of that
conversation soccer moms and PTA and and
and the
oil field workers and and auto union
workers I mean this is a conversation
that affects everybody so why not have
everybody's everybody's opinion as part
of the calculus you know I think I think
everybody's opinion matters uh even the
even the bad ones even the misinformed
ones um I think everybody's opinion
matters and I think we need to have a
much bigger group discussion on and
that's why I think it's important for
this next phase of what we're doing with
disclosure is that we include everybody
else as part of the conversation because
we might not have the right answer it
could be that your neighbor comes up
with the right answer and no one since
no one talked to your neighbor then
nobody would have known so uh when I go
public it's a way for the public to
engage me not only can I engage the
public but the public can engage me and
tell me for themselves what do they
expect out of
this and what a not to round up on thank
you so much L I know you are insanely
busy and I can appreciate that it was
tough to get some time to do this but
just one more time if you are listening
right now wherever you're listening make
sure you go and jum on the socials uh if
I could get to all 4,000 questions I
would have done but please if your
questions weren't answered chalk them in
the comments below Lou will do this

in for anything it's just to hear Mark's
wonderful voice that wonderful British
voice it's uh you know I feel anybody
