0:00You had Obama make those comments about the subject of aliens. They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in Area 51 unless they hid it from the President of the United States. I think he was joking when he said there are aliens he's just never seen. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Obama is scientifically literate. But if you have the aliens and you don't want the President to know, the President's not going to know. So do you believe there's intelligent life in the universe? Well, we have whistleblowers saying we have actual aliens. People have testified we have aliens, that we have alien crash parts. So I don't see why they wouldn't be given the size of the universe. Okay.

0:28And Neil deGrasse Tyson, what is the most pressing question that people are asking right now about the universe?

China says they're going to the moon 50 years after we go to the moon, and we all of a sudden decide we want to go to the moon? Is there an economic upside to it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:47I already answered you. I said, we don't want them to go to the moon without us going to the moon. And there's no laws up there, is there? Space law is a wild west at this point. It's like, who owns the moon? Nobody. Well, they're trying to figure that out. But don't delude yourself into thinking we ever went to the moon for science, then or now. Okay, next. Do you believe that we're in a simulation? I'm whiny about that, and I'll tell you why. And then, can you explain what a black hole is, like, if you get sucked in? Okay, so, you will see the entire future history of the universe unfold, and then,
