Award-winning investigative journalist George Knapp and co-host of Weaponized with @JeremyCorbell joins us LIVE on The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford to discuss his career in broadcast journalism, the upcoming congressional hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), and why Congress must take immediate action. We’ll delve into whistleblower insights from David Grusch and Lue Elizondo, explore the Pentagon’s secret UAP programs—including discussions around SAPs like Immaculate Constellation—and examine allegations of government retaliation against journalists and whistleblowers.
George Knapp will share his groundbreaking investigations into Area 51, his interviews with Bob Lazar, and the challenges faced when reporting on UAPs and UFOs. We’ll also talk about his forthcoming documentary series, “Investigation Alien,” on @Netflix .
On November 13th, Congress will hold a hearing on the national security issues surrounding UAPs, following revelations by Pentagon whistleblowers David Grusch and Lue Elizondo, who possess first-hand knowledge of hidden Pentagon UAP-related Special Access Programs (SAPs) that have been concealed from lawmakers.
