Are aliens real? I might have to keep that one in my. Seriously, we keep thinking this is a, this is a. Either we are covering for technology or it's just a psychop on the American people to get them to talk about something else. Let me tell you what I can say. I can tell you that our most valuable assets are not on the ground. Our most valuable assets from a national defense standpoint are underwater and in space. Underwater. Yeah. And it's easier to talk about space aliens than it is to talk about Nellie, the Loch Ness monster. So I think that's why it's so catchy right now. But yeah, there's a whole battle up in space that China. I just want to have more conversation on this. Hold this stuff in. Okay? At the time, Cash had been the Chief of Staff to the Secretary of Defense and the principal Deputy Director for National intelligence. Okay. Then in January of this year, the head of US Space force confirmed to the Washington Times that our enemies were now sending weapons into space. Listen to this. What kinds of assets do the Russians and the Chinese have in space right now? I talk about them in categorical terms and they're directed energy. Think lasers. RF jammers is the second category. And then what we call kinetic capability, this is missiles. These are things that run into each other with the intent to destroy. And you can use all three of those categories of weapons from the ground, like a missile being launched or you can use them from space based capabilities. And there are adversaries that are investing in all those categories of weapons. Investing or deploying? Both, certainly investing across all of them. And we are seeing operational deployments of a great many of those categories of weapons today. So we used to say there are emerging threats. I don't say that anymore. There are threats on orbit, there are threats on the ground that do jeopardize our space capabilities. He then also confirmed that Russia and China have now killer satellites. Russians are called nesting doll satellites that could be used as weapons. Listen to this. I think it's so clever that the Russians have the nesting doll satellite. What is that exactly? Picture a satellite that hosts other satellites. And so you launch one satellite on orbit and at some point in its orbital trajectory, a second satellite deploys from that initial hosting satellite. And then it can maneuver separately. You can even deploy further than that. That's why it's this nesting doll. So think about a satellite that deploys another satellite that maybe deploys something that's intended to be more like a bullet trying to strike a satellite. So you have these nested capabilities that we would have to keep track of. That's the key piece there. And do you see that as an offensive move that has a military mission behind it or is it for some commercial purpose that could be peaceful? My job is to be pretty cynical. It's my responsibility to say, is there a weapons use for these kinds of capabilities? And I think the answer is yes, they can be used for weapons. Whether that's the initial intent, you'd have to ask the Russians. Okay, now let me go to March 2025. Space Force second in command warned that Chinese satellites were already actively practicing dog fighting in orbit. Listen to this. There are five different objects in space maneuvering in and out and around each other in synchronicity and in control. That's what we call dog fighting in space. They are now practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do an on orbit space operation from one satellite to another. Dog fighting now with satellites. In 2024, the commander of the US Space Force Indo Pacific issued a sharper warning. He said Chinese satellites were stalking American satellites with the goal of tracking and targeting high value US assets whenever and wherever they choose. Their specific goals are to be able to track and target high value assets at the time and place of their choosing. We are seeing now all these signs pointing to being able to target U.S. aircraft carriers as well as oil tankers, AWACs and and satellites we just saw last week. Was it. I saw A story where they were talking about how we are, our GPS is being targeted right now. That's one of the things that we found out during this war. They haven't been able to do it, but they're targeting our gps. Do you know what happens to the United States of America if our GPS goes down? GPS controls almost everything right now. It would be very bad. First of all, your kids would never be able to find their way to any place without gps. Nobody knows how to read a map anymore. But this is the architecture that is being designed not just by us, but China and Russia. And even in December, France's Space Command, who even knew they had one, said that it had successfully practiced close proximity satellite maneuvers with the United States. The drills took place under an America long standing space war plan called Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender. Its mission is to globally integrate military space power, enable joint and combined forces, deter aggression, and if necessary, defeat adversaries in order to retain military advantage. Last year, Japan released its first ever space defense guidelines. These include plans to bolster Japan's security in space through public private partnerships like what we're doing here with SpaceX. SpaceX. They also warned about China and Russia's killer satellites to destroy our satellites. So it's not just us that are getting worried. And on top of that, U.S. space Command and intelligence reports, including its 2025 Space Threat Fact sheet highlighted Russia's development of satellites designed to carry nuclear weapons into space. I will tell you, I'll tell you what Artemis was really doing, in my opinion, in my opinion, what we're really facing and what it's really doing. And I'll do that here in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about real estate agents I trust. When you're getting a cup of coffee, you're trying to decide, you know, what cookware to buy. Somebody you know will go the extra mile to help you. And that's a nice bonus. It makes a difference, you know, the experience is better and you know you'll notice it and you appreciate it. But when you're buying a home, selling a home, you know, trying to do both at the same time, that kind of help isn't just nice, it's essential. Because this is one of the biggest financial moves people ever make. The timing matters, the price matters, the negotiation matters, the details matter. And the wrong agent can cost you money, time and more stress than you ever signed up for. This is why I started real estate agents I trust. Because I didn't know how to find a good real estate agent. And I started working with the 500 Best Real Estate agents in the country, according to the Wall Street Journal. Learned everything about them. How they work, what makes them different, how they can sell houses in a down market. And then we started looking for those people who understand that and have a great track record. So if you want a great agent, just go to realestate Agents I trust Dot com. We'll introduce you to some. No obligation. I don't charge you for it. It's realestate agentsitrust.com realestate agentsitrust.com 10 seconds. Station ID. So there is a strategic place in space that if you control this, you really have the, the, the high ground, if you will. And it is the very spot we are marking to land with Artemis. And there's a couple of reasons. And you'll hear about the reason of, well, it has the water. It also has constant sunlight and constant darkness at the same place. Just go up the, you know, go up the cliff a little bit and you're constantly in, in light. But it is strategically the best place to be able to maneuver and see everything that is happening on Earth and being able to defend Earth or your satellites or anything else. The reason why we are moving so rapidly on this is because China is months behind us and you cannot have, we cannot lose this race. Space, they are, they're dog fighting. China is dog fighting in space right now. So you can't declare anything. We can't go up and just plant our flag and say this part of the moon is ours. It's not the way international law works with the moon. You can't declare anything, you know, sovereign. And this is, this belongs to us. What you have to do is occupy it. If you are occupying, then the rules say that another country can't come in to your area of influence. You don't own it, but it's your area of influence. So what is happening with Artemis? What would it be? Artemis 3 the next one is we're going to start launching drones, satellites and robots and we are going to put these robots and all of this stuff all over in that space. You watch, we are going to be dumping boxes of stuff and having robots start to work in this area before we even get there. With Artemis 4 I think that's what's going to be happening beginning, I think next year because China is right behind us. So we have to mark that space. It's like a dog. We're going to pee all over the corners of the space we want to by dumping stuff there and then Begin building things so we have a moon base. That's what this is really all about. It's, it is about, you know, going to the outer planets, et cetera, et cetera. But most importantly, this is about a space economy. That's the other thing that people aren't talking about is there are two things that are going to drive three things that are going to really drive the future of the economy. One of them is energy. You must have abundant energy or you're not going to be able to compete with anybody. That's why Donald Trump is doing what he's doing with Greenland and with Argent, not Argentina, but Venezuela and also Iran. Rare earth minerals. Gotta have all of these things. Then you have to have AI. To have AI, you have to have manufacturing here in America. That's the $18 trillion in investment. The third thing is you have to have space. You have to have a launch pad that's going to become the Florida coast. It is not just a place to go to space, it's going to become the first space port. Because the economy is AI, space and energy. You have those, you win. All right, let me tell you about Z Factor. Unless you feel like slowly unraveling and becoming a crazy person, you probably want to get a good night's rest, at least most of the time. Problem is wanting sleep and getting sleep, two very different things. You climb into bed, you're tired, but then you lay there and your, your brain refuses to take the hit.
