7. 0:10Tyson.
8. 0:13[music]
9. 0:20[music]
10. 0:20[applause]
11. 0:28>> [music]
12. 0:29>> I love it.
13. 0:29>> All right.
14. 0:30>> They love you. Their own personal
15. 0:32astrophysicist here in person.
16. 0:34>> That is true. That's how I think of
17. 0:36myself.
18. 0:36>> Yes. It's man, it's first of all, it's a
19. 0:38big week in the world of what is beyond
20. 0:41this universe.
21. 0:42>> Every week is that.
22. 0:43>> Yeah.
23. 0:44>> To me,
24. 0:44>> you're always looking at the stars.
25. 0:45[laughter]
26. 0:46Sometimes for fashion advice and
27. 0:47sometimes just for career opportunities.
28. 0:50[laughter]
29. 0:50>> I want to talk to you about these these
30. 0:52UFO files. These UFO files
31. 0:54>> from the Pentagon.
32. 0:54>> From the Pentagon. They came out. Yes.
33. 0:56>> Neil Degrass Tyson, did you look at
34. 0:58them? Did you see anything of interest
35. 0:59there?
36. 0:59>> It's all of interest.
37. 1:00>> Yeah.
38. 1:01>> Yeah.
39. 1:01>> But but
40. 1:04>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yes. I guess Pentagon
41. 1:06files are all of interest.
42. 1:07>> Yeah. It's a whatever comes out of the
43. 1:08Pentagon is always interesting.
44. 1:09>> Yes. And aliens.
45. 1:11>> There's a difference, just to be clear,
46. 1:13between what was once secret
47. 1:16>> and what you might otherwise call a
48. 1:17cover up. Obviously, the military keeps
49. 1:20secrets. That's not something new or
50. 1:22weird. So many of these files were
51. 1:24previously secret and now they're
52. 1:25released and they pretty much match in
53. 1:28spirit the testimonies we've seen in
54. 1:31front of Congress from 2023 to 2024.
55. 1:35Three years of testimony,
56. 1:38sworn testimony from insiders,
57. 1:40whistleblowers, from intelligence
58. 1:42agencies, from from the military
59. 1:45basically telling us everything we see
60. 1:47in these files.
61. 1:48>> Yeah.
62. 1:48>> So I was not surprised by it. and and
63. 1:51and and if it's consistent with what
64. 1:54human beings are telling you under oath,
65. 1:56then there it is.
66. 1:57>> But people tell us under oath, they see
67. 2:00things they don't understand. But then
68. 2:02cheap documentaries will tell us, "Ooh,
69. 2:04there's aliens out there."
70. 2:05>> Yes. So that's a leap at that point.
71. 2:06>> That is [laughter] a leap.
72. 2:08>> Yeah. Because if if it's a UFO or UAP,
73. 2:10as it has been rebranded,
74. 2:12>> which one do you go with, UFO or UAP?
75. 2:13>> I'm I'm old school. UFO.
76. 2:15>> It's more fun.
77. 2:16>> Yeah. YEAH.
78. 2:18[cheering and applause]
79. 2:21unidentified anomalous phenomenon. Come
80. 2:23on now. Hard to say.
81. 2:24>> Yeah. Yeah. And it's hard to say, right?
82. 2:26So, UFO, my issue has always been if you
83. 2:30don't know what it is to you, it's a
84. 2:32UFO.
85. 2:33>> But if I know what it is, then it's an
86. 2:34IFO. Let's just get real here. Okay.
87. 2:36[laughter] So, and I know a lot about
88. 2:38the night sky and weather situ clouds
89. 2:41and all of this. And I've never seen
90. 2:43anything I couldn't explain. But I don't
91. 2:45want to deny that of other people. And
92. 2:47in the old days, it was the farmer in
93. 2:49the back 40 and something floating in
94. 2:51the back in the back and they report it
95. 2:53or drunken revelers coming out of the
96. 2:55bar. So, it was easy to discount that,
97. 2:57right?
98. 2:58>> But with people of such high rank and
99. 3:00privilege and access, you can't just
100. 3:02sweep it away.
101. 3:03>> So, I'm not sweeping it away. And then
102. 3:05this book, it's a celebration
103. 3:08>> of how much time, energy, and creativity
104. 3:12we've invested in thinking about aliens.
105. 3:14Mhm. There's a real human desire for
106. 3:16that
107. 3:16>> apparently.
108. 3:17>> You you mentioned in this book you
109. 3:19mentioned in this book though it's it's
110. 3:21a it's a it's an English speakaking
111. 3:22phenomenon.
112. 3:23>> Oh yeah. So if you look at a map of the
113. 3:25world of all reported UFO sightings
114. 3:28>> they concentrate in United States,
115. 3:32Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand.
116. 3:36[laughter]
117. 3:37>> Is there anyone else who speaks English
118. 3:39in the world? That's kind of it. So, so
119. 3:42could it be just our our potent pop
120. 3:45culture where, you know, every other
121. 3:47movie there's an alien portrayed uh evil
122. 3:50or otherwise? I I don't know because our
123. 3:53our movies go worldwide.
124. 3:55>> So, there's something else going on. And
125. 3:57I concluded the aliens only want to land
126. 4:00in English-sp speakaking countries.
127. 4:02>> I don't know.
128. 4:05>> If you're going to watch one story, we
129. 4:06have a pretty compelling one going on
130. 4:08[laughter] right now.
131. 4:09>> It is. There's the answer. Maybe the
132. 4:10aliens can't read subtitles. Is that
133. 4:12what it is?
134. 4:14[laughter]
135. 4:15>> So, um, so my point is I right now you
136. 4:20go up to another person, you say, do you
137. 4:22believe in aliens? And, uh, but no one
138. 4:26asks you, do you believe in whales?
139. 4:31>> Well, I I still haven't seen proof of
140. 4:32it.
141. 4:34>> Well, do you believe in elephants? You
142. 4:37don't have to ask that because you've
143. 4:39seen an elephant. You've seen a whale if
144. 4:42not beached or otherwise. Come to our
145. 4:43museum. We got one hanging from the
146. 4:45ceiling. Okay. Museum of Natural
147. 4:47History, New York City.
148. 4:48>> Okay.
149. 4:50>> Okay.
150. 4:51>> Boy, people promote a lot of on
151. 4:53this show, though. Oh, yeah. Yeah. For
152. 4:56that museum propaganda, [laughter] you
153. 4:57guys.
154. 4:58So, so
155. 5:02all I ask of the Pentagon files is bring
156. 5:06out the alien.
157. 5:08Is that too much to ask?
158. 5:10>> Let us see for ourselves.
159. 5:12>> Bring it out. Then you don't need a
160. 5:142-hour documentary
161. 5:17extolling the title and pedigree of who
162. 5:21is claiming a truth.
163. 5:23>> You bring out the alien and then, hey,
164. 5:25did you see that alien? That's cool.
165. 5:27[laughter] Okay. And then it's no longer
166. 5:28do you believe in it. It's just there.
167. 5:30>> Is it there?
168. 5:31>> And and so in here what I do is in case
169. 5:33there really is an alien that they want
170. 5:35to bring out. It's a primer on how to
171. 5:37interact
172. 5:38>> for your first time with an alien. Can I
173. 5:40share a couple of things? Got time? I
174. 5:41don't know. You got time? I don't
175. 5:42>> I got time. What do you got? [laughter]
176. 5:43Yes. Yes,
177. 5:43>> I got time.
178. 5:44>> No, I'm I've interviewed another alien
179. 5:46specialist after this.
180. 5:48[laughter]
181. 5:49>> What do we need to know?
182. 5:50>> Yeah, you need to know. So, for example,
183. 5:51if it comes up to you and there's some
184. 5:53appendage there. Yeah.
185. 5:54>> Don't grab it and shake it.
186. 5:55>> No. because you don't know what part of
187. 5:58the alien anatomy that is. [cheering]
188. 6:01>> I don't think you want to know. Okay.
189. 6:04>> Or what a great way to make friends.
190. 6:08>> Let me tell you, if somebody grabbed me
191. 6:09there now as [laughter] a a man who's
192. 6:11been married for 12 years, I would take
193. 6:14it. I would take it. Come on, alien.
194. 6:15Just grab it. Give me some connection,
195. 6:17please.
196. 6:18>> Plus, what do you look like to them?
197. 6:20Let's say you befriended them and then
198. 6:22after, you know, some hours go by, you
199. 6:24say, "Excuse me." You know, Mr. Alien,
200. 6:26Mrs. Alien, uh, I have to lay down
201. 6:29horizontally and go semicomaosse for
202. 6:32onethird of Earth's rotation.
203. 6:35They'll look at you like, "What's wrong
204. 6:36with you? WHAT IS THIS? [laughter]
205. 6:37YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT EVEN RESPONSIVE.
206. 6:39You're you're mostly dead." Okay? And
207. 6:42so, you don't know if they sleep cuz if
208. 6:44they don't sleep, you sleeping is going
209. 6:46to look really weird. So, just be ready
210. 6:48for that. Okay? Little things
211. 6:51>> like even eating probably looks strange.
212. 6:53No, if they were if they were
213. 6:54plant-based, then eating would look
214. 6:56really weird
215. 6:56>> because they just have to lay out in the
216. 6:58sun to get their nourishment. And
217. 7:00>> so they like, "What are you putting in
218. 7:01these weird holes?"
219. 7:02>> No, no, not only that, it's Why are you
220. 7:04killing living things to put in your
221. 7:06mouth?
222. 7:06>> Oh, they're judgy.
223. 7:09[cheering]
224. 7:09>> Oh my god. You're Oh, they have like the
225. 7:11temperament of a vegan. Is that what
226. 7:13you're telling me?
227. 7:14>> Wait, wait. No, it's worse.
228. 7:16>> Because even vegans, everything they put
229. 7:19in their mouth was once alive.
230. 7:21>> Yes. In fact, the two things that are
231. 7:22expressly excluded from the vegan diet
232. 7:25did not require the death of another
233. 7:27animal. It was milk and honey. That's
234. 7:29even biblical. But you're not supposed
235. 7:30to eat that. And I'm thinking nothing
236. 7:32had to die for you to eat the milk and
237. 7:34honey. That's the best diet at all. So
238. 7:37if a plant-based animal comes, alien
239. 7:39comes, you're safest. You say, "I just
240. 7:42eat milk and honey." And and you're not
241. 7:44dangerous to their plant brethren in the
242. 7:47world.
243. 7:47>> Don't touch their Say milk and
244. 7:48honey.
245. 7:49>> DOES NOT LIKE WHAT YOU SAY. THAT'S WHAT
246. 7:51That's what you said. THE SCIENTIST SAID
247. 7:52IT. I'm [laughter] getting it.
248. 7:55>> Okay.
249. 7:55>> I'm getting it. Anything else we need to
250. 7:57know? That's it. That's got to cover.
251. 7:59>> So, you want to Okay.
252. 8:03>> Come on. I got another astrophysicist.
253. 8:06>> Leave the flatearthers at home.
254. 8:08>> Really?
255. 8:08>> You don't want them to meet the alien.
256. 8:10>> You want to leave the best impression
257. 8:12possible on them.
258. 8:14>> And if they know you have flat earth
259. 8:15friends, they're going to leave.
260. 8:17[laughter]
261. 8:19they're going to say no sign of
262. 8:20intelligent life here and they go back
263. 8:22to their home planet. So I so in the
264. 8:25book I have a whole chapter on how to
265. 8:26how to befriend them with science and
266. 8:29math because that's universal. The laws
267. 8:32of physics on earth are established
268. 8:34across time and through space itself.
269. 8:37And math is the language of the
270. 8:38universe. And if the alien is going to
271. 8:40come to Earth and you're going to talk
272. 8:41to it, it better be in that language.
273. 8:43>> Oh, Neil, I hard disagree on this one.
274. 8:47That kid in middle school comes up and
275. 8:49is like, "I want to be friends. Let's
276. 8:50talk math." I did not make friends with
277. 8:53I think you taught classic rock with
278. 8:55these guys. All right.
279. 8:57>> Well, you don't know if they have the
280. 8:58same sensory exposure to the world that
281. 9:01we do.
282. 9:01>> Okay. So, they might not understand
283. 9:03music. They might
284. 9:03>> they might not hear it at all.
285. 9:05>> There's a saying from Nichi. Those who
286. 9:08could not hear
287. 9:12how this quote go. Those who were
288. 9:14dancing were judged to be insane by
289. 9:17those who could not hear the music.
290. 9:20>> Oh,
291. 9:22>> so he didn't say it. Nze said,
292. 9:27>> wait, wait. I remembered that he said
293. 9:29it.
294. 9:29>> Okay, good.
295. 9:30>> Can I get some credit for that?
296. 9:31[laughter]
297. 9:31>> Yeah. Okay, congratul You did. You
298. 9:33memorized the nature thing. Cool.
299. 9:35>> So, so in here I I so I celebrate. So,
300. 9:37what I do is there's aliens in TV shows
301. 9:39and and movies and all of this. Uh
302. 9:41there's even an alien opera with the
303. 9:44global links. Did you hear about them?
304. 9:46Written in the 1960s. These global links
305. 9:48come to terrorize this this school of
306. 9:50children. And they picked the wrong
307. 9:53school because he this is a musical
308. 9:55school and all the children sing. And
309. 9:56the global links are completely
310. 9:59irritated and allergic to melody.
311. 10:03>> Is that a plot for opera or what?
312. 10:05>> Yes. Yes.
313. 10:06>> Okay. Yeah. So, so what I do is I
314. 10:08explore all the ways we've imagined
315. 10:10aliens to be and compare it to what an
316. 10:13alien could be like just so that you can
317. 10:15enjoy the conversation as all this
318. 10:17unfolds while you're waiting for the
319. 10:19actual alien to come forward. The
320. 10:22>> this is here's what I'm curious about in
321. 10:23this. You mentioned too the aliens that
322. 10:25we've created in pop culture are
323. 10:27somewhat of a reflection of us.
324. 10:29>> Here it is. Here it is. The evil alien
325. 10:31trope. Yeah. Where did that come from?
326. 10:32Who? What? Why? Okay. I think it started
327. 10:36with War of the Worlds, HG Wells. The
328. 10:38Martians came, they didn't ask
329. 10:40questions, they just slaughtered us all.
330. 10:42Okay? And then that kept going in other
331. 10:45story other stories that All right. And
332. 10:47so I thought about it. We don't have any
333. 10:49actual knowledge of the of the conduct
334. 10:51of aliens. But you know what we do?
335. 10:54>> We have actual knowledge of our own
336. 10:56conduct with one another.
337. 10:59And so anytime humans of higher
338. 11:01technology have encountered
339. 11:04civilizations with less technology, it
340. 11:05has never boated well for the
341. 11:08civilization with next with lower
342. 11:09technology. They've been enslaved,
343. 11:11killed, slaughtered. So we have seen the
344. 11:16enemy and it's ourselves.
345. 11:19>> Oh, is that nature? [laughter]
346. 11:23foiced it and we have cast our own worst
347. 11:28light upon what could be completely
348. 11:31innocent friendly aliens just trying to
349. 11:33explore the galaxy.
350. 11:35>> Now I want to I want to I want to
351. 11:37explore that a little bit more. I want
352. 11:38to I want to show you some aliens.
353. 11:40>> I [laughter] think he has something
354. 11:41behind the desk here.
355. 11:42>> I got I got some aliens here and I want
356. 11:43your I want your take on what it says
357. 11:45about us.
358. 11:46>> You have aliens. You have pictures of
359. 11:47aliens.
360. 11:47>> Pictures of aliens. To be clear,
361. 11:49>> this man is this man is knocking over
362. 11:51boxes and tables looking for aliens
363. 11:52everywhere. There's no aliens back here.
364. 11:54>> You said I got aliens here.
365. 11:56>> What is Here's an alien. All right.
366. 11:58>> Oh,
367. 11:59>> Baby Yoda. Baby Yoda. I see I see I see
368. 12:01a cute, lovable, thoughtful mischievous.
369. 12:04>> I don't want you to be prevented from
370. 12:06entering Comic-Con. That's Grou.
371. 12:09>> It's Gr.
372. 12:10>> Okay.
373. 12:11>> I know his technical name is Grou.
374. 12:13>> Yes. Well, technically is his name. Not
375. 12:15tech. Is your technical name Jordan? No,
376. 12:17it's your real name. All right. So,
377. 12:19bring it back.
378. 12:19>> Yeah. Yeah, but if I would look like an
379. 12:21adorable Baby Yoda, [laughter] people
380. 12:22would call me Baby Yoda. Like horse
381. 12:24head. I was called horse head for about
382. 12:25four years of high school.
383. 12:28>> I would still respond to it.
384. 12:29>> Why the long face?
385. 12:30>> Why? Okay, leave it to me. All right.
386. 12:34>> All right. No, here it is. Here it is.
387. 12:35So, so we have furry, cuddly creatures
388. 12:39on Earth.
389. 12:40>> Yeah.
390. 12:40>> Oh, with eyes and feet and mouth. And
391. 12:42so, and with even ears that look like
392. 12:44this.
393. 12:44>> Yeah.
394. 12:45>> So, this is not creatively alien. And so
395. 12:49I'm disappointed in this.
396. 12:50>> You're disappointed?
397. 12:51>> Yes.
398. 12:52>> Because this is too much of a reflection
399. 12:53of what we already have.
400. 12:54>> It's got two ears, two eyes, a nose,
401. 12:56mouth, arms, and legs. Okay. Okay. All
402. 12:58right. So, so it's kind of humanoid in
403. 13:00that sense. Oh, you give it pointy ears
404. 13:02and all of a sudden that's alien. No,
405. 13:04>> dogs have some dopam pitchers have
406. 13:07pointy ears after they trim them, but
407. 13:08the pointy ears. All right. So points
408. 13:11alone, you got to do better than that
409. 13:12because on Earth, humans and bananas
410. 13:16share 20% identical genes and we're from
411. 13:20the same planet. So if you come from
412. 13:22another planet in a galaxy far away,
413. 13:25then I'm going to expect you to look at
414. 13:28least as different from humans as humans
415. 13:30and bananas look from each other.
416. 13:32>> So you're So you're saying this morning
417. 13:33over breakfast? [cheering] Wow.
418. 13:36>> [applause]
419. 13:36>> Okay, give me a note.
420. 13:39>> Also, what a buzzkill that this morning
421. 13:41over breakfast I committed an act of
422. 13:43cannibalism.
423. 13:45>> Okay, here's one. All right, how about
424. 13:47>> you ate a banana? You had a banana for
425. 13:48breakfast.
426. 13:48>> The three breasted woman uh [laughter]
427. 13:53from Total Recall. Okay. So, again, we
428. 13:56think aliens, they just have another
429. 13:58appendage or another. There's an old
430. 14:00episode of the Twilight Zone where there
431. 14:02was a Venian there who was working
432. 14:04behind a counter and he was wearing a
433. 14:06Fez hat and at the end he lifts up the
434. 14:08fat and there's a third eye in between
435. 14:11>> alien in a third eye, but he still got
436. 14:13two eyes and nose and mouth and he's a
437. 14:14short order cook at a freaking
438. 14:15restaurant. So, so I I need they got to
439. 14:19do better that Hollywood has to do
440. 14:21better. tail. Fruit taste.
441. 14:26>> THERE'S THREE BREASTS.
442. 14:27>> YOU ONLY have two hands.
443. 14:32>> Did I Did I say that? Can I
444. 14:35>> You heard it.
445. 14:38>> Yet again with the niche, I [laughter]
446. 14:39got to tell you.
447. 14:41>> Okay. You want You want a You want a
448. 14:43unique one? Okay. The the alien from
449. 14:44Arrival.
450. 14:45>> Oh, okay. That one was a a septtoid. Had
451. 14:49seven legs. uh very octopus-like. Yep.
452. 14:52>> But my issue, I have two issues. One,
453. 14:55>> uh this is an invertebrate creature.
454. 14:58It's just sort of flesh.
455. 15:00>> How is it building spaceships
456. 15:03>> that cross the galaxy? Like, how is it
457. 15:05doing that? I don't know.
458. 15:06>> I'm just saying if you're squishy, how
459. 15:08you going to pick up a ham? What do you
460. 15:10or screwdriver? What do you you're
461. 15:12you're just all squish. Yeah.
462. 15:13>> So, that's one. Second, this it had like
463. 15:16squid ink and you remember it would it
464. 15:18would paint a circle. That was the
465. 15:19communication
466. 15:20>> on the other side of this transparent
467. 15:22wall, possibly glass. And we would
468. 15:24analyze that. And I say to myself, how
469. 15:27do they know that they're seeing it
470. 15:31correctly if it's drawn from the other
471. 15:34side? They're actually looking at a
472. 15:35mirror image of what is being drawn from
473. 15:38inside the glass. That was never
474. 15:39addressed and they're decoding it. Plus,
475. 15:42I feel bad, but I said it. I tweeted
476. 15:44when I saw this. They had a physicist
477. 15:46and a linguist investigate this and I'm
478. 15:48saying no. You need a cryptographer and
479. 15:51an astrobiologist.
480. 15:54>> Are they are they SAG eligible?
481. 15:56>> NO. AND THEN I then I realized linguists
482. 15:59never get into movies where
483. 16:01astrophysicists are in all sci-fi
484. 16:03movies. So I felt sad because I cast
485. 16:05shade on a whole profession because they
486. 16:07were very excited that one of their own
487. 16:08got in there.
488. 16:08>> Give the linguist a move. Okay. All
489. 16:10right. Let me see. Oh, here here's an
490. 16:12alien. Can you explain this one to me?
491. 16:14Oh,
492. 16:17>> okay. Do you remember Men in Black? Uh,
493. 16:20they had the wall where they're tracking
494. 16:21all the aliens on Earth. Okay. And you
495. 16:24recognize these people, but they all
496. 16:26look just a little different.
497. 16:28>> Yeah.
498. 16:28>> It was like Michael Jackson was there,
499. 16:30>> you know, when he turned white, after he
500. 16:32turned white. Um, just just everybody.
501. 16:35So, they were the aliens on Earth just
502. 16:36posing as humans until they would be
503. 16:39discovered. Do see if you look at the
504. 16:40Trump administration, you see there's a
505. 16:42chance there is there's
506. 16:43>> Well, I would prefer if he smiled every
507. 16:45now and then, you know, cuz I don't
508. 16:47know. I like happiness.
509. 16:50>> Yeah, he he he doesn't just expose
510. 16:53happiness to you [laughter] like
511. 16:55>> IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S ANGRY.
512. 16:56>> He does look angry
513. 16:57>> and odd because they're all in charge.
514. 16:59If you're in charge, what could you be
515. 17:01angry about?
516. 17:02>> This This brings up Nichi. This Yeah.
517. 17:05This brings up though an interesting
518. 17:06point. What? Your book, Take Me to Your
519. 17:08Leader.
520. 17:08>> Yes.
521. 17:09An alien lands on Earth.
522. 17:12>> Yes.
523. 17:12>> We say, "Take me to your leader." Is
524. 17:14that the best idea?
525. 17:15>> No. The alien says that to you.
526. 17:16>> The alien says, "Take me to your
527. 17:18leader."
528. 17:18>> Yeah. So So they would likely have
529. 17:20received our radio signals, which move
530. 17:22at the speed of light. Uh on not on
531. 17:24purpose. They just leak from Earth. And
532. 17:26if they come tracking them, they're
533. 17:28going to see who everyone worships. And
534. 17:30I think they're going to expect to meet
535. 17:32Taylor Swift.
536. 17:34[cheering]
537. 17:36[applause]
538. 17:37>> I'M THINKING
539. 17:39OR [cheering] OR OPRAH. There are people
540. 17:41who are totally in charge of those
541. 17:44airwaves. And so so be ready for it to
542. 17:48not be an elected official.
543. 17:49>> It could be somebody they've seen on TV.
544. 17:51It could be Dr. Phil,
545. 17:53>> but but also lately I've been thinking
546. 17:56about democracies.
547. 17:57>> Yeah,
548. 17:57>> we elect leaders. Well, if you elect
549. 18:01someone based on your preferences and
550. 18:03priorities, maybe we shouldn't call them
551. 18:05leaders. Perhaps we should call them
552. 18:07followers.
553. 18:10>> No, they're not buying it. [laughter]
554. 18:16>> The book is a great read. I will read
555. 18:18all the way through just in case they
556. 18:19land. Do you know when they're coming,
557. 18:20these aliens?
558. 18:21>> I'm not authorized to comment further
559. 18:22on.
560. 18:22>> Okay, but you'll come back and talk when
561. 18:24we do, right?
562. 18:24>> Okay. When they land, you won't have to
563. 18:27invite me back because you won't need to
564. 18:29ask anyone ever more, do you believe in
565. 18:31aliens?
566. 18:32>> Cuz at that point, we will know.
567. 18:34>> We will know.
568. 18:34>> We will know. Take me to your leader is
569. 18:36available now. Neil grass ta
