Hour 3 - We Are Not Alone in the Universe

Also, early this morning, a second batch of UFO video of UFO files was introduced, released. This is batch two. And my oldest son said, Dad, you should be talking about this UFO release on the radio show. And I said to producer Ali, who is an awesome person that we can get on to fulfill my oldest son's desire here. I'm actually super excited about this. And we are joined now by George Norrie. who is listened to, I would imagine by many of you. He is the host of Coast to Coast a.m., the most listened to overnight radio talk show in America. He is also a part of the premier network, and the show primarily focuses on the paranormal UFO's conspiracy theories, unexplained phenomena. Norie, who is with us now, George, we appreciate the time. You also served nine years as an officer in the United States Naval Reserve, earning the Navy. Achievement Award. Before we get into UFOs, are you a history guy? You served in the Navy. Are there parts of American history that you find the most interesting as we come up on Memorial Day on Monday? Everything, Clay. It's a great country. I'm glad I'm here. I'm proud to serve. I did nine years, as you just mentioned, as a naval officer. Originally, during the Vietnam War, my lottery number was 20. I thought I was going. I went to get my physical, and they said, you've got a little heart murmur. We can't take you. So for years, I regretted not being able to go into the military, and one day a guy called me up and said, Ronald Reagan would like to give you a direct commission to the Navy. I was a news director at a TV station in St. Louis. And I went, what? And he said, yeah, he'd like to give you a direct commission. Would you take it? And I said, in a heartbeat, but I don't know if I'm going to pass the test. And they said, we'll check you out. And the heart murmur went away. And there I went. That's an awesome story. Well, thank you for your service. You talk about all sorts of fascinating topics late at night. People across the country listen. You have one of the biggest radio audiences alongside of this one anywhere. What is your audience's reaction so far to the UFO files so called that have been released so far? The second batch of them coming out early this morning. What has your audience thought of this? What do you think about it? Our audience, primarily, Clay, has gone through the position of, I told you so. We knew it. And I just think it was great for President Trump to want to get these released. And as you mentioned, another 300 popped out today. All kinds of stories from all over the place. I think what this will do will corroborate what we've been talking about for years on coast to coast.

and what other people have been talking about, and that is we are not alone in the universe. We're being visited. We have been visited. We have been visited by these entities. They may be our gods, but it's fascinating stuff, and it keeps me busy. Okay, I love this. I believe that we have been visited by aliens. Buck, who is not with me today, is more skeptical. When did you decide that you believe we have been visited by aliens, and where do you think these alien life forms are coming? Do you have any sort of larger context or belief system? When I was a youngster, my mother brought me home a book called We Are Not Alone by Walter Dan Sullivan, who at the time was the New York Times science writer. It talked about the theory that we were not alone in the universe. And then a few months later, Look Magazine came out with a story of Barney and Betty Hill, the abduction case out of New Hampshire. I was fascinated by that story. It was an incredible story. One of my first jobs as a radio reporter when I was 21 years old in Detroit, I interviewed their psychiatrist, Dr. Benjamin Netanyahu Simon, out of Boston, Massachusetts. And I asked him a specific question. I said, Dr. Simon. Will Varney and Betty Hill lying to you? What do you think? And he said, I don't know what happened to them. But under hypnosis, they both told the same story. They believe whatever happened to them happened. They're not lying. It's just a bizarre story. And I'll never forget it. From that point on, Clay, I decided I wanted to keep pushing my broadcast career to unravel these stories. And here I am today. What do you think the craziest opinion that you have that you really believe is? I always like to say people like, tell me a conspiracy theory that you think is real. What do you think you truly believe that this audience would find to be the most outrageous or outlandish opinion that you have? Well, the audience may think the abduction cases are strange where people are being taken from all over the planet. We have hundreds of thousands of people missing from the earth every year. They're just gone. People can't find out where they are. Google it. You'll find that out. Something's happening to these people. I think that's probably one of the strangest stories going on right now. Where are these people going? They're disappearing in our parks, in our public systems. They're just gone. That's probably one of the biggest mysteries of all time. So you think aliens potentially are taking thousands of people a year and that some of the so-called lost people, we just don't know what happened to them, you think that they're vanished and that's where they're going? Absolutely. Not all of them, but some of them is a very strange universe. These aliens, these ETs are not all benevolent by any means. Dr. David Jacobs, the euphologist, believes that it's a very nefarious situation. And he could be right. Remember that the Twilight Zone movie episode to serve man? Why do you think?

Here's something I think about a lot. And I think about a lot of weird things a lot of the time. So you probably definitely do based on what you do for a living. One of the things I would say is if humans have been visited by aliens, which actually do think that they have, wouldn't there be some record? of those alien life forms in fossils. In other words, it doesn't seem likely to me that they've only visited in the 21st century, right? That they would have showed up in the 1500s, in the 1,200s, long ago. What do you think about the lack of sort of fossil record that we have? We never do a dig in Egypt and suddenly uncover... for instance, a alien life form that has been entombed alongside of a current human life form? Clay, we haven't gotten the real great reports yet from the government. They must be holding back on some stuff for some reason. But I am convinced we have had... alien bodies picked up that government has them. There's an old story that former President Richard Nixon took comedian Jackie Gleason, who was obsessed with ETs, picked him up one day in a car and said, we're going to Homestead Air Force Base in Florida. I want to show you something. And he went, okay, the president, driving by himself. Nixon comes up to the gate at Homestead Air Force Base. The officer at the gate was in shock, obviously let the president in. And apparently, according to Jackie Gleason's wife, Richard Nixon took Jackie Gleason into a room where they had an alien in a glass jar. And it shook up Jackie Gleason so much, he was never the same after that. Lots of strange things are going on. We just don't know about them yet. I do buy that one of the biggest challenges with the UFO world is that if an alien life form is capable of visiting here, their technology is so much more expansive and advanced than ours that it's almost impossible for us to even understand. Back in the day in the days of exploration, you would have explorers show up and they couldn't communicate with the people that they had discovered, the new parts of the world that they were exploring. because there was no common language. Isn't there likely to be a major issue just from technological sophistication? If you think about back in the days of things that we know did occur, frontier-wise, you would show up. Someone had never seen a ship before. They thought that they were seeing gods when they saw people in armor, for instance, things that they couldn't imagine, steal guns, all of these things. Isn't it likely that we are so far behind that mere communication is a struggle?

Absolutely. They have learned, they being the ETs, how to travel through space. We haven't learned that yet. You know, if they conventionally traveled the way we do, it would take thousands and thousands and thousands of years to get here. They have learned somehow to bend space and time where it's an instant whenever they appear. and their technology is way ahead of ours, probably by millions of years. But we'll get there one day, God willing. My son says, anybody ever talk and you do this show, and we're talking to George Nore, super popular show on late nights all over the country. My son says, do you think it's possible that these are just time travelers? That somewhere long into the future, we will find the ability to bend space and time such that we will be able to go back in time. And what we're actually seeing when we see UFOs is potentially people who are long into the future. Almost taking vacations to go back and say, hey, I want to see America in the 1990s. Do you buy into that at all? Is there any discussion surrounding that on programs such as yours? We've talked about it, Clay. You can't rule it out by any means. I tend to believe these are coming from other planetary systems within our universe. But there's still that distinct possibility that they could be time travelers. There's an old picture from the 1800s of a guy walking down the street, 1800s, mind you, holding the cell phone in his hand talking to somebody. Who was the guy? Then there was another story that a time traveler popped up on the streets of New York and got hit by a cab, and he was wearing 1800-year garb. Unbelievable. Strange things have happened. It's very possible. Where would you want to go back in time? If time traveling became a possibility, what era of history would you find most compelling? I've talked about this on the show before. I would love to go back to the era of Jesus to witness him and what he was doing. To me, that would be one of the most fantastic visitations you could ever imagine. It's interesting you say Jesus because some people would say aliens, they get nervous about the interplay between aliens, religion, what it would potentially do to religion. If we discovered that humans were not alone, what do you think the religious response would be? Well, the Catholic Church has already said that your belief in extraterrestrials does not negate your belief in God. And I believe that. There's a higher power out there. There's a divine intelligence. And the belief in extraterrestrials merely tells you that this universe is packed with life, packed with life.

I imagine that you are, and I love this, and we're talking to George Nore, you are open to the idea to believe many different things, right? If you look at America in the wake of COVID, there's a lot of people listening to us right now, and I would even potentially put myself in this category where you're way more open to the idea of conspiracy because so much of what we were told about COVID, I believe, was a lie. And we have slowly unraveled many of those different lies. You've been doing this for a while. How would you assess the conspiratorial mindset of America today compared to when you began this show? And can you feel that difference in your audience and the conversations that you guys have? One of the reasons we're so successful on our radio show, Clay, is we don't shut people down. They have an opportunity to talk. The only thing that gets them booted is if they use profanity, which, of course, we don't accept. And that doesn't happen a lot. And we have delay buttons and everything else for that. But by and large, I am convinced that there's something else out there that we haven't even discovered yet. I can't get a scientist on the air to talk about the Big Bang and how the universe started. They don't know. Nobody knows. And it's one of the greatest wonders of the world. But the bottom line is there's something out there, and it doesn't negate our belief in a God. It will enhance it when the day comes. Do you think in your lifetime that there will be incontrovertible that is beyond a shadow of a doubt, proof of alien life forms and the fact that they have visited the United States? You may think that there's proof already, but I mean such that even skeptics would have to acknowledge it to be true. I would hope so. I'm not sure. I just don't know. The documents that have been released over the last month or so, including some today, really don't give us the information we need yet. There's a story of the we've channeled off 13 fighter jets to chase a star-shaped UFO. Apollo astronauts have seen strange things. I knew Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut. He's not with us anymore. He told me, George, I've been told by people in government that we are being visited by extraterrestrials. I never saw anything on the moon when I was there, but I'm told we're being visited. When you hear stories like that, you've got to believe it. There's something going on in this universe. George, for people who enjoy this conversation but might not have heard your program before, how would they find it? You can go to our website, coast-to-coastam.com, and under stations, click the button, and wherever you live, there's a station out there somewhere for you. George, we appreciate the time. Thank you for your service. Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. And will you promise to come back on if we find out aliens 100% are real? Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I'll bring an alien with me. Hey, the ratings on that would be pretty high, I think. George Norrie, this is awesome. I appreciate the time. Again, thank you for your service. Have a good Memorial Day weekend. You and your family.

Thank you, Clay, you too. When you hear about Israel in the news, easy to think what's happening in that country and region as another conflict far away. It's not the full picture by any stretch. I've been to Israel. I have seen the bomb shelters. I've seen the battlegrounds. I've seen the people who have lost their lives simply for being Jewish in Israel. And I know all the incredible work that the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews takes part in. And I would like for you to join me and just send a few heartfelt words.

The headlines, they move on, but the heartache and the tear, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target Israel. Hezbollah continues its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. Even when the news crews leave, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they remain. Every day, they are on the ground, providing life-saving aid. Now near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yelina. Widowed earlier this year, and living alone, she was trapped inside by the blast. Thankfully, she was not injured, but she remained displaced. It's hard these days, she says, but I don't want to leave. Well, as Christians, we are called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of Jerusalem. and for the soldiers, families, and civilians carrying the burden of this fight right now. Visit pray, IFCJ.org. That's pray, IFCJ.org. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We are joined now by a guy who knows a little bit about trying to win the culture wars by actually engaging and producing interesting content. Steve Dase does a great show out of Iowa. We'll get into that in a sec. What do you think if Iowa were voting today and the primary were taking place in November? for 2028 instead of the midterms, Iowa were helping to select, as, by the way, you guys are going to do probably in January of 28, which is going to be here before we know it. How would the primary go? Do you get the sense that J.D., Marco, Ron DeSantis, what would the average Iowan you think think right now if they had to select a nominee in 28? I think J.D. would be a strong favorite.

But I think the president's going to have a huge say in what Iowans decide to do. I think he will pick the next nominee if he wants to. I could see that, you know, he may, as J.D. was joking the other day, he has a history of wanting people to try out for things in television. So we may see some of that. I don't think Marco, Marcos made no overtures here at Iowa, Clay, at all. And he shouldn't. I mean, there's no reason. If I were him, I would not get in unless I was assured by the president. I had a legitimate chance at his nomination. Otherwise, I'm still relatively young. I keep my powder dry and support JD, as he said. I'm not sure what Ron will do. Ted will run. He's already running. He's a former caucus champion and is still very well liked. But I would say today that JD is a strong favor, not a guarantee, but a strong favor. Do you think Democrats come back in your state? They went to South Carolina. We've talked about on this program that is an early indicator of how the DNC might be trying to put their finger on the proverbial scale because South Carolina, Joe Biden, because of Jim Clyburn, had a easy path to the 2020 election such that almost nobody challenged him at all. And Kamala Harris has not done well in Iowa. Heck, Joe Biden didn't do well in Iowa or New Hampshire. Do you get the sense when you look at the other side that they may be coming back to Iowa as well? Or what would you anticipate Democrats are going to do based on what you see on the ground there? I think our gubernatorial election has a lot to do with that here. I think that if we only have one Democrat statewide official left, we've kind of just routed the Democratic Party in Iowa, but it's a tough cycle for us right now. And our sitting governor shocked everybody by not running again when everybody had kind of been gearing up for her to do so. And so there's been kind of this hodgepodge primary field that's kind of emerged, people with all very low name ID and an unpopular congressman. So if Rob Sand is able to win as the governor, I think Democrats will come back here. if or nor the reason to showcase him. I think he is essentially kind of running as a saner, less obvious version of James Talarico, meaning that he says a lot of the same things, but he doesn't have the body of work of saying things that are culturally offensive to Normies that James Talarico has years of to use as Apo against him. And so he's a much easier package for them nationally than James Talarico, and I could see them come back to Iowa. if for no other reason to maybe showcase him as a potential VP, maybe even a presidential candidate. So I think that will largely be determined by what happens in our governor's race this fall. Okay. Earlier in the show, it's a Memorial Day weekend. You've actually spent a lot of time on this, and I'm impressed. It's one thing to say, hey, I have these political opinions. This is what I think you and Bucking me. We do this all the time.

But if you really want to influence people, sometimes you have to reach them where they are through culture. I've been talking about how American history is a huge part of this. And I think we don't tell the stories of America very well and haven't for the last 15 or 20 years. The Saving Private Ryan movies, the Band of Brothers movies. uh the show we've really kind of moved away from that because people have decided that american history were the villain not the heroes what have you seen in pop culture what have you seen about the impact and then we'll get into your new book and and more but you've actually been fighting these battles what have you seen in terms of the impact Clay, I have been involved in political races from school board to present the United States. I have been lied to, stabbed in the back, more days than I can count. I have never faced the level of resistance in my entire career like I did the one time I made a movie for mass distribution in theaters. And I think the reason why is because our opponents understand that pop culture is really where world views are formed today, way more than inside of the pews now. With the surge of young men going back to church, maybe that'll change in the next generation. But in this generation, it's not true yet. In this generation, it's not even the classroom anymore. More families are homeschooling than ever before. It's this device that I'm talking to you in right now. The entire world, more information than any previous generations of our species have ever had at their disposal, more connectivity than we've ever had. And so the ability to impact that on video, audio, pop culture. Storytelling is really the last refuge left clay where people will let you really go after their worldview and try to persuade them if it's entertaining. And I think this is something we're just now beginning to figure out on the right is the power of that bully pulpit. And I think that's why there's so much resistance into getting good quality, conservative, or even Christian content into this sphere because of the power of these mediums. Thankfully, a lot of our folks, we still have some big donors that still need to figure this out. That if you do a better job of telling stories, you don't have to spend a half a billion dollars to win a handful of political campaigns every cycle because you've just impacted an entire generation. But this is really where more influence culturally is wielded than any other place in America. Yeah, and I'm going to get to your book because I think that's important here too.

I've just been watching a lot of the patriotic themed big business commercials. I don't know if you've seen. We started the show off playing the Coke commercial from 1976. And you can say, oh, Coke, why do I care? Well, Coke believed the best way to sell Coke in 1976 was by saying America's awesome. I don't know how many brands are going to do that in 2026. Why do you think that matters? And how do we get to, I was asking the question by 2076 on the 300th anniversary. How do we get back? 1976, things were actually kind of tough. You had three assassinations recently had occurred. The Vietnam War was still a very, very raw wound on the psyche of America. Many people were coming back as veterans. It was an incredibly contentious era. Yet everybody came together in 76 and said America's awesome. I don't get the sense that we're getting that in 26. You know, in my spare time, you and I are big sports guys. In my spare time at night to wind down, I'll jump on YouTube and I'll watch original broadcasts of college football and basketball games from the 70s, 80s and 90s. You really get an idea when you watch them with the commercials included, and that's what your co-observation alludes to. You really get an idea of how much we have been robbed of in this last generation, how different things really used to be in this regard. And by the way, you're right about the 2014 playoff anyway. But we can talk about that another time. But the thing that is, here's what's different and which changed, and you and I are roughly the same age. So this is from when we were little kids to what we see now. We were arguing about where we were going as a country in 1976, but not where we came from. Yeah. We didn't hate our birthright yet. Now we have been taught to. And a lot of it is because we haven't really been taught it at all. And we've kind of been taught this, you know, Marxist struggle session theory that history is really just, you know, the service, as Darwin's subtitle says, the struggle for survival of favored races. But that's essentially what it is, that there's no noble pursuit. There's no divine purpose. There's no reason that we were made. And so therefore, it's really just a glorification of the haves and the have-nots. And that's just not the story of this country at all. We were up against the most powerful empire of the world had ever seen at that point in time. The British Empire, the saying was in the 18th century, the sun never sets on the British Empire, this rag-tag group of colonials from different sects of the church. And people don't understand. They think Christians just kind of walk and lock step. We were coming out of an era where if they had a Catholic king, he killed all the Protestants. You had a Protestant king. He killed all the Catholics. And so now all these various sects of these Christian churches that founded all these colonies. They've got us at all their differences aside, if you can even manage that first and foremost. But then to do it to go toe to toe against the British Empire, it truly was something that was providential in nature. It just could not have happened in terms of just natural military strategy and planning. They had no chance. And a lot of that legacy, stuff like the War of 1812 was essentially one. We survived. Because a storm came out of nowhere that right after the British lit the White House on fire and stopped them from essentially conquering Washington, D.C. Things that you just can't take credit for that just happened. That's why our founders use this term a lot, Providence, which means kind of like the will of God that they can't explain how things just worked out. And that is just a key part of our history and something to be proud of. And that's largely been robbed of the last generation in the way they've been raised.

Yeah, you know, you're talking about Providence. I love that story. I believe it's Benjamin Netanyahu Franklin saying one of the chairs had a son on it. And as they debated the future of the country and the Constitution, he would sit and contemplate, is that a rising sun or a setting sun, not having a sense of where the country is going to go. And you know this. The great thing about history is everything ends up feeling inevitable. Except when you go back and you study it, you realize how much of a mess it was and how what we have come to believe was inevitable was actually anything but. And it's people who put their heart and soul into everything that created the world in which we're all benefiting and living in right now. And what I think is clearly the greatest country that's ever existed in the history of the world. Tell us about this book and why you wrote it. It's why Independence Day, America is great because God is good. We're talking to Steve Dase. What will the audience get out of this? Why should they read it? Well, we aim it right at children, but we wrote it to families could read it with their children and learn as well. Because America really is, it's 250th birthday, Clay, really is 3,000 years in the making. You know, Charlie used to point out that if you look at the writings of the founders, they actually quoted from Deuteronomy more than any other work. They wanted to look, they looked down through history. What works? What made people free? We had tried government, you know, rights from government. That was what the Magna Carta was. It worked for a while, but not permanently. So what if rights came from God? What if they were pre-existent in nature? What would that look like? Then what would that God demand of us? What kind of national character would ensure that we would be free? And then they looked at the modern philosophers of the era, the post-Reformation philosophers, the Hobbs, the locks, the moniscus. And they kind of melded all of these various theorems and historical observations into the country that we are today. And we walk everybody through where those ideas came from. who instilled those ideas, how they were one, because we want our kids to both be inspired by the country that they're inheriting, but then at the end, convicted that now it's going to be their turn now to do what must be done and to maintain their heritage and be proud of it and not ashamed of it and passing on to the next generation. And so I've done a trilogy of these books on America's Christian Heritage for children. We've done Y Thanksgiving. We did Y Easter. And so this is now the return of the Jedi. This is the conclusion of that trilogy, Why Independence Day. Hopefully they have some lovable EWalk characters as well. All right. Last question for you. Maybe the most contentious in Iowa. Who wins the Seahawk trophy this fall? Boy, the Iowa State program, man, has just been devastated. I mean, essentially the 2026 Iowa State football team is the 2026 Penn State recruiting class. Yep. I mean, you've heard the term year zero. I mean, they're kind of primary lose right now in Ames. Even though Iowa's taking a lot of FCS transfers, I'd be shocked if Iowa State beat Iowa this year. Shocked.

For people who don't know, one of the great things about college football is the interstate rivalries when you are just going head to head and it matters a great deal. How big of a rivalry in all sports is Iowa, Iowa State? It is, you know, I've gotten to do this all over the country. I started my career doing local sports talk radio, and I built an entire radio program, because I don't have pro sports here in Iowa. So I built an entire program off of stoking and provoking hatred in that rivalry year round. And it works, right? I wouldn't be here where I'm at now without a fact. So, yeah, it is quite a rivalry. And one of those things, I think you've heard Chris Felica talk about it in the past. you know, getting to come here and do game day shows or now Fox Big Noon Sunday shows from this rivalry. It's one of the, I would call it the undercard of Alabama Auburn. It's not quite that nasty, but it certainly has a ferociousness to it. Well, we appreciate it.

The headlines, they move on, but the heartache and the terror, they do not. Iran and its terrorist proxies are continuing to target Israel. Hezbollah continues its attacks in the north, forcing families to live under constant threat. But Israel is not only defending her people, she is standing on the front lines against terror that threatens us all. Even when the news crews leave, the international fellowship of Christians and Jews, they remain. Every day, they are on the ground, providing life-saving aid. Now, near Israel's border with Lebanon, a Hezbollah drone recently struck the home of Yalina. Widowed earlier this year, and living alone, she was trapped inside by the blast. Thankfully, she was not injured, but she remained displaced. It's hard these days, she says, but I don't want to leave. Well, as Christians, we are called to stand with God's people and pray for those defending Israel and protecting the freedoms we hold dear. I want you to join the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in praying for the peace of Jerusalem. and for the soldiers, families, and civilians carrying the burden of this fight right now.

Encourage you, as always, go download the podcast. Stay safe out on the roads. This is going to be one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. One of the busiest travel Memorial Day weekends of the year. We started off talking about history, and I would just encourage all of you at some point this long weekend with the kids, with the grandkids, maybe with your parents, if you are listening to us and your parents are not. particularly plugged in, to think about American history and all of the sacrifices that had to be made for you to be here today where you are and how many people have given and made the ultimate sacrifice on Memorial Day. I talked about one of the best days of my life getting to tour the battlefields of Normandy, but going to that... going to that cemetery and seeing those white crosses as far as the eye can see that beautiful green grass there in France, all of those young boys 18, 19, 20 years old, who gave their lives to fight real, true Nazis. What are you doing to make this country better? What are you doing to honor their sacrifice with every day? I hope you take a moment to think about that. And no matter what struggles you are going through in your own life, know that there have been many who came before you that built this country that have dealt with every bit as hard and often much, much more difficult times in their own lives. You can get through it. You can rise to a better version of yourself and you can help to make sure that you honor the sacrifice of so many on Memorial Day with what you do this weekend. Thanks to all you back Tuesday. Speaking truth and having fun. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Sean Hannity is coming up in just seven minutes on 710 W.O.R.
