Barack Obama’s Interview

 

Matt recounts Barack Obama’s interview on a left-leaning podcast where he briefly affirmed the existence of aliens, which was later clarified by Obama on Twitter as a personal belief, not a revelation of classified information. The conversation then shifts to Donald Trump’s response, as he announced plans to declassify government files related to unidentified aerial phenomena, framing it as a response to public interest sparked by Obama’s comments. An anonymous White House aide had previously leaked that Trump was preparing a major address on aliens, though the nature of this address remains unclear.
