Hello, I am Joshua P. Warren, and this is Joshua P. Warren Daily. And you may be a little bit tired of hearing about this, but I just have to bring it up. You know, I am here in Las Vegas, and this Storm Area 51 thing, I mean, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger to the point where all of these stations around the country are replaying the segment they did with me and my colleagues. And now, you know, I run around this town and people are, hey, I saw you on the news. I saw you on the news. And this is just feeding, feeding this thing. Um, and so I'm telling you, I know we we still have a ways to go. It's gonna happen in in September, but this is gonna be interesting. And I have gotten uh contacted by some of the biggest newspapers in the world. I don't want to talk about that uh until the things are published. And uh, of course, you know, this month I have a major uh television network coming here to film with me, and I uh I got asked to write a chapter in a book. Again, I can't talk about that, but you know what? I do want to share something with you. I finished the chapter that I wrote for this book, and it felt good to do that because I haven't sat down and and written in quite a while. I've been doing all kinds of other forms of broadcasting, but I want to read you uh just a little portion of this chapter that I wrote because I think this is really fascinating. And I've talked about this before, so it shouldn't be the first time you've heard this. But uh here's part of what I wrote for this particular book. And of course, it has to do with Area 51 and all that secrecy and whatnot. In 2018, as news about ATIP, the advanced aerospace threat identification program was spreading, I set up a base camp in Las Vegas. It's interesting to note that the primary politician behind ATIP was Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid from Nevada. Most of the work was contracted to Bigelow Aerospace in Nevada, and most of the publicity has reached the public via George Knapp of Nevada. So clearly, Nevada is the place to be right now. In twenty seventeen, Robert Bigelow, founder and president of Bigelow Aerospace, was interviewed by Laura Logan on the esteemed CBS news program sixty minutes. She asked him, Do you believe in aliens? He said, quote, I'm absolutely convinced that's all there is to it, end quote. She asked, Do you also believe that UFOs have come to Earth? He replied, quote, there has been and is an existing presence, an ET presence, end quote. She asked, Do you imagine that in our space travels we will encounter other forms of intelligent life? He said, You don't have to go anywhere. And she said, You can find it here. Yeah, he insisted. Where exactly? She smiled. Quote, it's just like right under people's noses. Oh my gosh, wow, quote, he said. Now think about that. Just think about that. The guy who is contracted by the government to do this research, you know, by by Senator Harry Reid and his folks, and you know that letter that Senator Harry Reid. This is what he's saying. This is what he's telling. What are we to sit here and say, well, this guy's gotta be insane? Or he's lying, or he's just out of his mind in some other way. I mean, come on, folks, come on. But isn't that especially surprising? When you start thinking about it, it's kind of eerie when he says it's right under people's noses. Now, what does he mean exactly by that? Like how how far does that go? How extreme are we getting when we say it's right under people's noses? Now, I mentioned to you before that this reminds me a lot of germ theory. How that, I mean, you you may or may not realize that the average human being on this planet had no idea that germs actually existed until the year 1900. You know, I I I was born in the 1900s, and I'm sure that many of you listening to this podcast were born in the 1900s. Now, I want you to think about that. Germs! The idea of germs were thought of as a conspiracy theory uh uh on many levels throughout many cultures for many millennia. And then finally, you know, Louis Pasteur started doing some work in the 1850s and whatnot, and then it started catching on, and then intellectuals and scholars started learning more in the 1880s, and so finally, by you know, around the 1900s, people started realizing, I'll be damned, it's true. There are tiny little bugs all over everything, and actually uh are a huge part of who we are. Your body is is made up in huge part of bugs, little bugs, little bacteria, and they're they're actually very helpful, they do a good job for you of digesting things and breaking things down and all that. It's amazing, it's astounding. So think about you know, what if somebody had sat down and said, Look, there are germs everywhere, they're right under your nose, and you're like, What do you mean? When he says there are aliens, there's an ET presence and it's right under your nose, like how far does that go? And if you if you think, well, come on, I can't open my mind enough to believe that, to think that they might be all over the place, and we just can't see. I want to remind you a little bit about how human history is nothing but a series of profound situations in which we have been profoundly wrong. The people that we have always looked up to the most, ultimately at the end of the day, are doctors, right? Medical doctors. Call them whatever you want and different cultures from different points of view. But, you know, I'm talking to you right now here in the US in the year 2019. I'm talking about doctors, the people you go to when you get sick, you put your life in that person's hands. You put your your loved ones' lives in the hands of these people. You you assume these must be the smartest people. Because however bad your day may be going, probably even if it flies all to hell, somebody's not gonna die, right? Doctors deal with death and the process leading to death. I mean, the consequences are pretty dire. And so let's just take that, you know, as a reference point for how much humans have known and look at how profoundly wrong the doctors have been. I mean, I you know, I it's like these these old commercials where doctors in the 40s and the 50s were out there promoting cigarettes. Now that sounds unthinkable today, and that wasn't that long ago. Hell, my mom and dad were born in 1952. When they were born, doctors were promoting cigarettes. I mean, like just listen to this one, for example.
SPEAKER_01What cigarette do you smoke? You'll be interested to know how the doctors of America answered that question. Tens of thousands of doctors, doctors in all parts of the country, in every state of the Union, doctors in every branch of medicine were asked, what cigarettes do you smoke, doctor? In this nationwide survey of general practitioners, surgeons, throat specialists, diagnosticians, and so on, the branch named most was camels.
SPEAKER_00Yes, according to this survey, more doctors smoke camels than any other cigarettes. Try camels yourself. Make the one sensible cigarette test. Make your own 30-day camel mildness test in your T-zone. Smoke only camels for 30 days. Enjoy camels' rich, full flavor. And see how well camels agree with your throat, pack after pack, week after week. See for yourself why camels are so popular with the doctors of America.
SPEAKER_02Now, that's just one of many examples that I can give you. But, I mean, we've all heard the stories about how doctors used to think, well, we should bleed people because, well, they have something bad in their blood, so let's get that blood out of there. I mean, look at George Washington. George Washington is one of the most revered people in our country. Our capital is called Washington, D.C. We have the Washington Monument. If you look up how George Washington died, here's what it says. On Thursday, and by the way, he was um, let's see, 67 years old. On Thursday, December 12th, 1799, Washington inspected his farms on horseback in snow and sleet, and he returned home late for dinner, but refused to change out of his wet clothes, not wanting to keep his guests waiting. He had a sore throat the following day, and so anyway, he got some kind of a cold or congestion or uh, you know, some kind of a throat thing was going on. So, anyway, the doctors came in, and it says, uh, the first guy removed nearly a pint of his blood, a common practice at the now a pint. That's a that's in this country, that's a glass of beer. Now think about that. You go and you say, Ah, give me a pint of beer, right? That's a glass of beer, that's how much a pint is. They took a pint of of blood out of him. Well, somehow or other, that wasn't helping him. And so uh it goes on to say here, now now listen to this. Um another doctor uh came in and he you know and he kind of sensed that he might be about to die. And and this doctor, Dr. Brown, said, Yeah, we need to let some more uh blood out, took out five pints. Okay, they've already taken out a pint. Now they're taking out five pints, they've taken six big ass beer glasses full of blood out of this guy, saying, Yeah, this will help him. All right. He Washington knew this ain't going well. He said, Doctor, I die hard, but I'm not afraid to go. And they're like, Oh no, you'll be f well anyway. His last words were, 'tis well. And he expired. Now that's how George Washington went. That guy had been through all these wars and put up with all this kind of crazy, amazing, you know, miraculous shit that I've talked about on this podcast before. But he died, and you know, maybe he would have died anyway, but he died at the age of 67 because these doctors took at least six beer glasses full of blood out of him when he was at his weakest, when he was at his worst. Um, but you know, he my favorite example of this, and it's the most horrific, it really is the most horrific, is, and this is you know, you don't have to go back that far. Lobotomies. Lobotomies. People have forgotten about what a lobotomy is. I'm just gonna read it straight out of Wikipedia here. A lobotomy is a form of psychosurgery of a mental disorder that involves severing connections in the brain's prefrontal cortex. Okay, this went on for more than two decades and was considered groundbreaking. Okay, so you might hear that and you say, okay, well, I I know they were just cutting something in the brain, and um, but I, you know, I I don't know exactly. Let me give you an example of what a lobotomy was. One of the most champion lobotomists was a guy who was born in Philadelphia. He died in 1972, age 76. His name was Walter Freeman. And he started going in there and uh and cutting up people's brains, lobotomizing them, and he did that for almost 10 years, and then he heard of another doctor who was saying, Oh, we have there's a better way of doing this. You go through the patient's eye sockets. And so after doing some experimentation, this man Freeman came up with this new procedure called transorbital transorbital lobotomy. The new procedure became known as the ice pick lobotomy and was performed by inserting a metal pick into the corner of each eye socket, hammering it through the thin bone there with a mallet, and moving it back and forth, severing the connections to the prefrontal cortex in the frontal lobes of the brain. He performed the transorbital lobotomy surgery for the first time in Washington, DC on a housewife named Sally Ellen Lonesco. This type of method did not require a neurosurgeon and could be performed outside of an operating room without the use of anesthesia. The modifications of his lobotomy allowed this guy to broaden the use of the surgery which could be performed in psychiatric hospitals throughout the United States. And uhmazingly enough, he okay, he charged twenty-five dollars for each procedure. After four decades, he had personally performed as many as four thousand of these lobotomy surgeries in twenty-three states. Twenty-five used his ice pick procedure in particular despite now listen to this, despite the fact that he had no formal surgical training. He wore neither gloves nor a mask during these procedures. He lobotomized nineteen minors, including a four-year-old child. Listen to this. His mentor, the big lobotomy guy who came up with this idea of, you know what, if somebody's not behaving, you know, let's just cut oh I let's just cut their brain up. His mentor for his work in lobotomy won a Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine. At the time it was seen as a huge achievement, but within a few years labeled as one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine. And I want you to understand this. Listen to this up to forty percent of this guy's patients who who did this to well, 4,000, five, who knows, four, at least four up to forty per cent of this one guy's patients were gay individuals, subjected to a lobotomy in an attempt to change their homosexual orientation, leaving most of these perfectly healthy individuals severely disabled for the rest of their life. Now you can look this up on your own if you think that I'm exaggerating. If you think I'm making this up. So how much do we know? What kind of stupid shit do we believe right now that uh seems ob obvious and acceptable to us that future people will look back and say, Oh man, can you believe that? They believe that in 2019. Can you believe that those people in 2019 were so dumb that they believed this? Fill in the blank. And you know, it's weird because scientists can't even agree among themselves. I was watching this new William Shatner series on the History Channel. I think it's just called Unexplained. It's very good. It's very good. It's only there there have only been um, I think about three episodes so far. And I was watching the latest one about creatures, and they said something about how, yes, there are plenty of scientists out there who believe that uh octopuses came from outer space, that their DNA can't really be connected to anything else on on this earth. And I was like, what the fuck? Are you did uh I was like, did you hear that? Octopuses came from outer space? You know what? That actually makes complete sense to me. That makes complete sense that an octopus would come from outer space. But as I I took a note, like, I gotta look this shit up. What are they talking about? I mean, because this if this is true, this is a huge thing that I had just missed out on that octopuses. And they're not octopi, they're octopuses. That octopuses came from outer space. So I looked into it. Here's what popular science says about this. Says octopuses, this is an article uh octopuses seem to be particularly prone to alien theories. The most recent is thanks to a group of scientists, none of whom study zoology and many of whom don't even study anything biological, wrote a paper in the journal Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology that claimed to show octopuses might come from space. In fact, they say the entire Cambrian explosion, we're talking hundreds of millions of years ago, originated with an influx of viruses from the cosmos. Thirty-three authors cosigned their names to this paper, including the man who originally proposed this highly controversial idea in the nineteen seventies. They use an octopus as an example, noting that quote, the transformative genes leading from the consensus ancestral nautilus to the common cuttlefish to squid, to the common octopus are not easily to be found in any preexisting life form, and therefore, quote, it is plausible then to suggest they seem to be borrowed from a far distant future in terms of terrestrial evolution in qu okay, so uh basically um one of these people here, one of the authors said, quote, from our perspective, the evidence is not quite overwhelming, requires a complete rethink of evolutionary processes. Um but they say here in popular science the problem is that viruses and octopuses are both firmly terrestrial. A commentary written by molecular geneticist Karen Mulling, printed alongside the article, notes that though the authors clearly believe their own theory, they're quote describing it as evidence based yet without any of the necessary evidence. She concludes that the main statement about viruses, microbes, and even animals which came to us from space cannot be taken seriously. Seriously. Another guy, a biologist here, William Gilley, said quote, to be truthful, this paper seems to be so badly written and full of misleading statements that I cannot believe that it passed peer review in any respectable journal. End quote. So they go back and forth with these people who who who are arguing about this, um, concluding that they say, look, there's another biologist who says, quote, look no further than their DNA. It shows very clearly that octopuses share a lot of the same genes with other animals, mollusks, snails, clams, flies, well Okay, so anyway, scientists have these kinds of debates. And these are the smart people. So where does that leave you and me, huh? Where does that leave us in this mix? I I really hate being a fear-mongerer type, you know. I mean, I if you listen to me, you know that I don't do that. I don't come on and preach doom and gloom and say everything's going to hell in a handbasket. I was talking uh not too long ago with my buddy Dr. Bill Forschen, and uh they put him on the the front page of a newspaper in Asheville, or actually West North Carolina called the Mountain Express. Big picture of him, and it said Dr. Doomsday. And I thought, man, that's that's got to be something to be slapped with that label. He seemed to like it, you know, because he's he was talking about he's a he's a worst case scenario kind of guy. Me, I'm not like that. I'm more of an optimist. I think this whole thing that we're experiencing is quite magical and weird, so I don't usually talk about things that scare people. But I will t I will say this, okay. You know, on July 4th and 5th, when those earthquakes hit, there in California, Larne and I felt them here in Las Vegas. They were between 110 and 150 miles away. And that the the the the big one there that was like a 7.1 that happened on, I think, July 5th. I mean, like, that was it was a long earthquake, and that was really something. Do you know that since then, since July 4th, there have been over 80,000 earthquakes there in Southern California? 80,000. I'm not even kidding you. I was telling Lauren, it feels like my bed just vibrates, you know? Um, because I've explained to you that sometimes I do these late-night interviews and stuff like that, and I'll just crash out in my own little bed here, and I'm like, it's like this bed is all always vibrating. Always vibrating. And it's it's happening seriously. 80 over 80,000, and that means the earth is constantly shaking. There are these conspiracy theories that have been circling the internet, and and I have no idea if they are true or not, but I've seen videos, and if you're concerned, you can look this up for yourself. There are people who are claiming that there are NASA planes that are flying around conducting tests that are making people's hair stand on them. They're shooting some kind of beam around, that the USGS is over there in Southern California, and they probed around and they have found that there is a gigantic lake of magma, molten lava, that's underneath around like the ridgecrest area of California that makes Yellowstone look like kindergarten, and that if we get a big enough earthquake, which they think is very likely, then boom. Okay. Huge explosion. And I don't know what that would do. Who knows what that I I you know here in in Vegas, for example, I'm sure the sky would darken and you'd be like, well, it's just exactly the same, but it's cooler. Because usually you'd be like, it kills all the vegetation and all the animals, but really, like, there's not much vegetation. There really aren't that many animals. People contact me and say, Oh, are you getting covered up by all the grasshoppers out there? I'm like, I've seen, I think, two grasshoppers don't believe everything you see in the media. Okay, they'll take one example of something and just hype it up like crazy. No, I there aren't grasshoppers everywhere out here. And that's why I hesitate to even tell you, you know, this conspiracy story that there's a huge bake of uh huge lake of lava and magma that's gonna come spewing out there and uh it's gonna be some you know horrific disaster. But I don't know. That's the thing. You you have to accept to a certain extent in your life, you just can't know. And and even if people try to tell you that they know, you can't necessarily believe it. But here's what I do like, and here's what I look for. I am a completely independent guy. I'm not somebody like I I'm not I didn't become a doctor or a lawyer or a CEO or any of that stuff because I don't want to go into those positions where I'm I'm stuck in some kind of a structure. I want to be in a position where I can speak truthfully to you. And I get the feeling that that's where Robert Bigelow is coming from. You know, I think he's just a guy who like nobody can fire him and he doesn't give a shit, and he's just telling you, look, I don't care if you believe me or not, but the world is not the way you think it is. And he said that he has spent more money than anybody else as a private citizen to uncover the truth, and he obviously made some good relationships because he got all these contracts with the government, and they're all public now, and nobody's questioning them. He sounds sensible when he speaks, and he's saying, look, guys, whether you believe me or not, I'm telling you, they're right under our noses. And there, you know, and there's something to be said for being the type of person who's got what you call fuck you money. You know what I mean? That's what they say, where like you don't have to you don't have to care. I I got contacted over the past week by a very, very wealthy man, and he said, I love your podcast. And and I and I hear that more and more all the time, and I and I know a lot of people listen everywhere, and I love it, and I think that that that's a wonderful comp compliment. He said, I love your podcast. He goes, I want to basically buy it and sponsor the whole thing and have you sell this or that. And I said, Well, that's a nice uh sentiment, but uh I you know my podcast is independent and I don't sell commercials or do anything like that with it. He said, Oh, come on. You know, everything's for sale. Just name your price. I said, no, no, seriously, I I'm not interested. And then he's like, oh, cut the crap. Just tell me the number. Now it's starting to agitate me a little bit because money isn't everything. It's like an decent proposal. Not everything is for sale. I said, no, I I don't do that with this show. This is something that I do independently so that I can remain honest and frank and say whatever I want. And he said, Look, just cut to shit and I'll offer you the and at that point I said, fuck you. I'm not selling this. You don't understand. Maybe everybody else in your life that you've encountered has had their price. But I, look, I'm not one of those people. He, of course, gets uh pissed off, and I said, Let me repeat that. Fuck you. And I think the guy finally got it, you know. It's like turned white as a sheet, kind of thing. Like he finally realized this guy is not messing around. When you listen to this show, it's honesty. And the day that ends will be the day that, you know, I'm cold in the earth. So I think that when you hear things from people like that, and I believe Robert Bigelow is probably one of those guys, it means something. Not everything's for sale. You can't buy me Joshua P. Warren for any price. Now, now that said, I am still considering selling my giraffe painting for a million dollars. So many people have have contacted me to say, are you serious? Yeah, I'm serious. I don't want to sell it, but you know what? I have a lot of cool stuff going on. I have a charity coming up here for a no-kill animal shelter. And uh, you know, Lauren and I, we've always adopted animals, and it's just one of those things I like to do is to give back to animals. Mobius contacted me, he says, Maybe you should tell everybody that you're gonna give all of it to charity. And I said, Well, look, I'm not gonna give all of it to charity. I've got some other stuff going on here. I love animals, but I don't think a dog is gonna invent, you know, the cure to cancer or a better light bulb or eradicate mosquitoes or whatever. I mean, I've got some other stuff going on here. I'm building a show laboratory here in Las Vegas that may change the world for the better. So, but I'm still, you know, I I am entertaining offers. So if you are interested, send me an email in possibly getting Ozzy the giraffe's painting. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's in one of the recent podcasts, and you can see a video of this. And the funniest part is when you see Ozzy licking a bald man's head like a damn lollipop. It's pretty funny. So if you're interested in the Ozzy picture for one million dollars, you can go to joshuapwarren.com. There's no period after the pee, go to joshua.com. You can remain private, or if you want recognition, that's fine. We can do it either way. JoshuaPWarren.com has my email address there. And you'll also find, of course, links to other cool stuff. Go to the Curiosity Shop. I still have some of the new batch of the miraculous prayer board available there. And let me just also remind you: if you are on the east coast of this country, you should consider going to Asheville, North Carolina, taking the Haunted Asheville Ghost Tour and seeing my Asheville Mystery Museum. That's hauntedashville.com. Asheville is spelled with an E in the middle. A-S-H-E-V-I-L-L-E. And if you're on the West Coast, go to Creepy Vegas. That's the Creepy Vegas Ghost and UFO show I created, creepyvegas.com. You'll find links to all that stuff there at joshuapeewarren.com, including a link to this podcast called Joshua P. Warren Daily. Always short, always free, independent, commercial free, uncensored. You can click that link and subscribe through various means, or you can just follow me on Twitter. Now get ready, get ready. Because I recently visited with my friend Antoinette. Tony. And she said she listens through earbuds. And sometimes it's too much when I go, are you get ready, Tony? Here it comes. When I go, ah, Joshua P. Warren.com. Actually, it's just Joshua P. Warren. Ah, Joshua P. Warren. Ah, Joshua P. Warren. Ah, it's too much. I think I think she's referring to my charisma. My charisma's too powerful. It's too intense. So I'm just now I'm gonna do it e at Joshua P. Warren. At Joshua P. Warren. You can follow me on Twitter at Joshua P. Warren. I think I'm gonna get a job for uh with MPR. That'd be nice. I can tell you a little soft story and then play a little jazz in the background for a bit. Come back, smack my lips. I thought you loved the way those NPR programs sound. It's so crisp. At Joshua P. Warren is how you can follow me on Twitter, and I will usually tweet when a new one is available. So that's gonna do it for today. Who the hell knows what I have for you next time? But another one is on the way. So thank you for listening. Thank you for your interest and support. Thank you for staying curious, and I will talk to you again soon.
