Speaker 1: This is The Other Side of Midnight.

Speaker 2: They're running a strange program, y'all. With Walter Sterling. It's

Walter Sterling with his wacky show.

Speaker 3: It's the other side of midnight just for you.

Speaker 4: Walter likes flying saucers.

Speaker 2: Tartarians too.

Speaker 5: Plus the latest, the greatest Florida stories for you.

Speaker 2: So here comes Walter Sterling.

Speaker 6: And here we go.

Speaker 3: It's the other side of midnight.

Speaker 2: Radio show. Ladies and gentlemen, 800-848-9222. Let's go to Lauren.

Welcome to the other side of midnight. Hi, Walter. Lauren,

look at you. You look great tonight, by the way.

Can I say that, or will I be sent to HR?

Speaker 7: Well, thank you so much, Walter. Thank you. You know

that you bring up such a great issue, how like, oh,

we're not even supposed to say that to each other anymore.

Everybody gets offended.

Speaker 6: Yeah.

Speaker 7: It's a very twisted world.

Speaker 2: You see, the thing is, Lauren, I want to hear

what you want to say, but the reason I bring

up about how you look great today is because I

have three daughters, I now know in a way I

did not before what it takes to in a woman's

mind to look great. I know what they go through

to look great. To me, they look great in their pajamas,

but they do a lot of work to get, you know,

I can't tell you how many curling irons my family has.

The number of curling irons that we have for different

days of the week, different times of the year, it's

astonishing how many curling irons there are in this house

and how we haven't blown every fuse. I don't know.

But therefore, I respect. So when I say to a woman, hey,

you look great today. Oh, my God, those nails are amazing.

I'm doing it truly from a point of educated respect.

Speaker 7: Oh, wow.

Speaker 8: Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 7: You bring up the word respect, and that was going

to be some of what I was going to mention

on your topic of divorce.

Speaker 8: Yes.

Speaker 7: But, yeah, you have three daughters, so you totally get it.

Speaker 9: So, yeah.

Speaker 7: You know how we always say, oh, we love our

dogs because they're nonjudgmental. I think that's one of the

top things people will say, right? That dogs are so nonjudgmental.

And then getting to your comment about respect, it's just

such a difficult issue, and that's why millions of people

go to therapy. But for divorce and relationships, the whole

issue of control... Let's say you're raised and there's controlling, critical, judgmental,

these unreasonable expectations for perfectionism. And a lot of that

then is not, it's like, Early trauma from all of that, almost.

And then when you get married and you're in this relationship,

you're supposed to be mature and have the ability to

disagree without disrespect. So when you mention respect, to disagree

without respect and not to hold grudges, not to hold

on to all this stuff.

Speaker 9: And.

Speaker 7: How many people have the grounding and have been shown

what a real team relationship, loving, nonjudgmental, and the ability

for people to have differences of opinion and yet still

be a cohesive team? And now, you know, it used

to be for better or worse, right? And, oh, you

have to, you know, try to stick together and work

it out.

Speaker 2: Right.

Speaker 7: That's not there anymore, but you mentioned people getting married

later in life, which is, I believe, you know, a

good thing because people have the time to, like, quote, unquote,

work on themselves and, like, get through, hopefully get through that.

But still, a lot of that stays in us, you know,

when we grew up with control. Right.

Speaker 2: Now, Lauren, are you in therapy?

Speaker 7: In my own head, I am in bed.

Speaker 2: And are you married?

Speaker 7: Well, that's interesting. No, I've never been married. I've had

a lot of long-term relationships. I love children, but I

didn't want my children on my own. I've worked with children.

I had a profession where I loved children. Now I

wish I had had children, but.

For me, I guess I didn't find the right person,

but it's very hard for me to be with somebody

all the time.

Speaker 2: Is that because you're an introvert? You need a lot

of time alone? Is that why?

Speaker 7: Well, I'm a misfit, right?

Speaker 2: You are a misfit. You are. Believe me, I can tell.

I can tell, Lauren, that you're a misfit. I appreciate

this call. You're in New Jersey?

Speaker 8: I am.

Speaker 2: Where in New Jersey are you?

Speaker 7: I'm in Morris County in like the Chester area.

Speaker 2: Yeah, so there are good Dunkin' Donuts near you. There

are a lot of traffic circles near you. And there's

plenty of you to do, plenty for you to do.

You don't need to get married. Lauren, I thank you

for the call. Thanks for being a misfit at 800-848-9222.

Jason in Ohio, welcome to the other side of midnight. Hi, Jason.

Speaker 10: Hi.

Speaker 6: Well, welcome. So everything you've said about you've made great

points about marriage and the divorce brought up some really

good points. I just wanted to touch on a few

of those real quick.

Speaker 7: Good.

Speaker 2: Take your time. Take your time. It's an all night show.

Speaker 9: OK.

Speaker 7: OK.

Speaker 6: So I do think there's. if I picked at everything

that you said, and the one thing that I might

disagree with a little bit is you said about people

waiting until 30. And, and, uh, I think that varies

from person to person. And, and so I don't know

that there's, that that is really applies to every person

or couple, uh, you know, everyone's different. And you mentioned

about everyone being different. So I do think there's a

lot of various causes of why the divorce rate is

so high. For one, you know, it takes two couples

working nowadays. I know several young couples who just married

in their 20s. I know three couples I have in

mind right now, newly married in their 20s. And Both

the husband and wife have to work, and they're struggling

hard to make it. And so, you know, it's more

difficult for a wife to stay home and be a

stay-at-home mom now than what it was when I was

growing up. So I think that's a contributing factor.

Speaker 2: Do you think that's a contributing factor to getting divorced

or to staying together?

Speaker 6: I think that's a contributing factor. to stress on the marriage,

which leads to divorce. Because now both couples are working. Well,

who's going to stay home with the kids? Well, now

the kids are getting in trouble. It's not the couples

can't spend as much time together because they're both working.

I just think it's just bad all around.

Speaker 2: You're right. There are many economic reasons why husband and

wife both have to work. It's not just a social issue.

There are financial issues. It is unfortunate that the freedom

that the cliche is that you used to make $ 10, 000

a year. Dad would make $ 10, 000 a year. You'd have

a house. Two cars, a summer vacation, and all the

clothes for the kids. And, of course, that's insane today. 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222.

You and I are talking about marriage. Interestingly, the divorce

rate in America is going down. Probably all your life,

whenever you heard the phrase, the divorce rate was followed

with it's going up. It's not. It's going down. It's

not 50%. Now it's 40%. The age of the divorce

is also different. More people are getting a divorce at

the 5-year mark than the 10-year mark. Used to get

it at 10. Now it's 5. Why is that? First,

they're getting married later. Secondly, there isn't the big social

pressure to stay married, don't get a divorce. That's all gone.

That's vanished. The other thing that has changed, people are

getting married later. And I think because they're getting married later,

a couple dynamics there. One is that if they're getting

married later, then if a woman wants to have kids,

she needs to make a decision sooner in her marriage

than she used to. If she got married at 18,

she had plenty of time to make a decision. It's

different now. The social pressure to not get a divorce,

that doesn't exist anymore. Oh, it's too bad they're getting

a divorce. It's different. The reasons for getting a divorce, though,

is not cheating. It's endless bickering. A couple just can't

stop arguing with each other over everything. That is the

number one reason for why people get a divorce. How

do you feel about this?

Speaker 8: 800-848-9222.

Speaker 2: Joe, Michigan. Divorce, marriage, welcome to the show. Well, yeah.

Speaker 9: Tomorrow is our 76th wedding anniversary.

Speaker 2: How is that possible? How old are you?

Speaker 9: I'm 94.

Speaker 2: And your wife?

Speaker 9: 92.

Speaker 2: And what are you going to do, go to Bora Bora?

Speaker 9: We're old, you know, but I got to tell you,

we live in a fairly rural area. We fell in love.

She was 14. I was 16.

Speaker 8: Wow.

Speaker 9: We got married at 18, and you'll just never find

anyone that had a better life than we have had.

Speaker 2: Well, Joe, I have to ask you the question, which is,

give us one or two tips on staying married forever.

Speaker 9: Never have I ever lied to my wife.

Speaker 4: Wow.

Speaker 8: Never. Wow.

Speaker 9: And we've had.

We live in a rural area. Hunting and fishing was

a big part of our life. And we've had wonderful friends.

And I think that... And it takes guts to marry

a beautiful woman. And my wife was and is still

a beautiful woman. And so, you know, you always got

guys sniffing around, but we have... We've just had such

a one. If everybody could have a life as good

as what we've had, there wouldn't be any divorces.

Speaker 2: So your primary tip, Joe, is never lie to your wife.

Speaker 7: Never.

Speaker 2: I'm sure there were moments when that was hard.

Speaker 9: I'm a pretty good guy.

Speaker 2: I can tell by your voice, Joe. I can't tell

you how happy I am for you and to your wife.

What's your wife's first name?

Speaker 9: Marty.

Speaker 2: Marty and Joe. That's fantastic. You said how many years?

96 years? I'm sorry, how many years?

Speaker 7: 76. 76.

Speaker 2: Joe, I respect you. I am grateful that you called,

shared this information with us on the other side of midnight.

18 minutes past the hour. 18 minutes past the hour.

Are you enjoying this big radio show? I think you are.

Speaker 1: The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. It's the

other side of midnight.

Speaker 6: With Walter Sterling.

Speaker 2: News Nation's Megan, who has been sniffing around for the

past few days and therefore has been having a terrific week.

I'm always dazzled and amazed at the stories you're able

to pursue, the guests you're able to book. I always

feel inadequate when I talk to you, Megan.

Speaker 8: Oh, my God. That can't be true, Walter. That can't

be true.

Speaker 2: It's a radio fact. So, Megan, what are you working on?

What's going to be happening on NewsNation this week?

Speaker 8: You know, there's actually some great stuff going on that

I personally am very excited about and love and am

proud of. Last week, we put out an episode on

the dig for Noah's Ark that is happening in Durupinar, Turkey,

on Mount Ararat. And this is a story, you know,

the story is about 60 years old that they thought

that they found the remains of Noah's Ark. And now

it's The story has come back to life. They have

new radar scans, new technology. You know, you've got AI.

They're sending gopher robots down there. So I did this

story last week just out of personal interest and curiosity.

And right before we started, they were like, you know,

we have this new exclusive scan that just came back

that shows three chambers in this underground structure that we

believe is the Ark. Do you want the exclusive? I'm like, yeah,

you know, like, obviously. So, you know, we do the story.

I think it's interesting and compelling. The audience absolutely ate

it up. More views, more interaction than we've ever gotten

on the show. So I'm like, wow, okay, people are

really interested in this. I'm going to take it a

step further. I'm going to start talking about giants and

And was the flood a fallout with giants on earth?

So I have Timothy Alvarino. He is fantastic. He's an explorer.

He's a researcher. He is a translator for the book

of Enoch. He was in Peru for a lot of

his life.

Speaker 7: He's just like a.

Speaker 8: Modern day Indiana Jones. through and through. And he's an

expert on the Book of Enoch and some of these

ancient sea scroll texts, the Book of Jubilees, the Book

of Giants. And him and I just really get into

what do these ancient texts tell us about fallen angels, judgment, giants,

what led to the flood and what the world was

like pre-flood and what happens if this really is the

site of Noah's Ark. Him and I went for two

and a half hours, Walter. We talked about everything you

can imagine with giants and we're splitting into two parts.

So the first part went up today. It went live

today and this is all about ancient texts and what

possibly could have led to the flood and giants.

Speaker 2: Do you believe there were giants?

Speaker 8: You know, Walter, the more I look into this and

the more I understand about the Book of Enoch and

these ancient texts, the more, this is going to sound

so weird, but the more the Bible makes sense to me.

You know, as a kid growing up, you're trying Sunday school,

all these stories from the Bible, they all sound weird.

you know, magical and mythical and not real. And you're like,

is this just a metaphor? Why are we teaching David

versus Goliath and the great flood? But if you can

accept some of the things that are in the book

of Enoch and some of the teachings about the giants

and the Nephilim in the world, then the Bible actually

starts making a little bit more sense. So, you know what?

I'll just say it. I'm not afraid of sounding crazy. Obviously,

if you've seen my show, you know, I say some

crazy things. Yeah, why not?

Speaker 2: Well, I agree with you. And I also know that

in the 1800s, on a fairly regular basis, there were

newspaper articles about how they found another giant skeleton. And

there was a picture of the giant skeleton. And then

they were always shipped off to the Smithsonian.

Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2: Now, with that is the mythical wing of the Smithsonian

that no one is allowed in. And in that wing

is supposed to be the skeletal bones of the giants.

And the thing that always puzzles me, really puzzles me,

is why is that a secret? What is it that

needs to be kept a secret about skeletal remains of giants?

Why is that a secret?

Speaker 8: Walter, per usual, you and I are on the exact

same page. We dive into that in the episode and

the conspiracies surrounding the Smithsonian. And I ask very pointedly,

why would the U.S. government care if we knew about giants? And,

you know, it's basically the same thing as why does

the U.S. government care about if we care about aliens?

Because if you pull up that thread and you expose

one thing that they've hidden from us and lied to

us about what's next, what's next, what's next.

Speaker 2: How and where do we see your incredible television show?

Speaker 8: You can go to NewsNation's YouTube page and search Unreported

with Megan Medick. I'm also on wherever you can get

your podcasts, Unreported for NewsNation. So it's all over the place.

If you want to watch it, fantastic. YouTube's your jam.

If not, you just want to listen to me. Wherever

you get your podcasts is good.

Speaker 2: Megan Medick, is there anything else you'd like to report

to us today?

Speaker 8: You know, next week they're sending me to Wisconsin. I'm

going to Elkhorn, Wisconsin to search for the Beast of

Bray Road. So I'll be in the field hunting for

the Beast of Bray Road, and I can't wait to

tell you about that next week. So good luck to me.

Speaker 2: It sounds like a fun time. I thank you very

much for joining us from News Nation. on the other

side of midnight.

Speaker 5: Become the media, call 800-848-9222 now!

Speaker 4: There is a wing of the Smithsonian Institution that does

not appear in any current floor map. No tour guide

mentions it. No official publication references it by name. But

in the administrative records from the 80s and early 1890s,

it shows up again and again. A catalogued space referred

to internally as the Ethnological Storage Annex colloquially called the

Giant Wing by the staff who worked inside it. And

the last man who fully catalogued its contents before it

was restructured in 1894 left behind a set of private

correspondence that has never been officially addressed by the institution.

His name was Cyrus L.

Speaker 8: Bridgemore.

Speaker 4: Morrow, and what he wrote in those letters should not

have survived. Every week, Cyrus Morrow was not a famous man.

He was not an archaeologist in the romantic sense. No expeditions,

no best-selling books. He was a cataloguer. a man whose

entire professional identity was built around the meticulous documentation of

physical objects, their dimensions, composition, provenance, condition, and intake, and

assigned storage location within the Smithsonian's expanding infrastructure. He was,

in the language of modern archival science, a collections manager,

and he was extraordinarily good at it. He joined the

institution in 1879 during a period of explosive growth. The

Smithsonian was receiving material from federal surveys from military expeditions

and from the Bureau of Ethnology, formerly established just a

year earlier under John Wesley Powell. The sheer volume of

incoming material was staggering. Skeletal remains, artefacts, stone tools, ceramic

pieces and objects that did not fit cleanly into any

established category were arriving faster than they could be processed.

Morrow was brought in specifically to address the backlog. His

personal letters, which passed through a private estate sale in

1961 and were acquired by a small historical society in

western Pennsylvania, were largely ignored for decades. They read, for

most of their length, like the correspondence of a dutiful

civil servant, careful, measured, occasionally dry. But in letters written

between 1891 and 1893, something changes. The tone shifts, the

language becomes guarded in a way that feels deliberate rather

than habitual, and certain passages describe, in careful and specific terms,

a collection of skeletal material that does not match any

publicly acknowledged Smithsonian holdings for that period. The first reference

appears in a letter dated March of 1891, addressed to

Morrow's brother-in-law, a physician in Ohio named Dr. Samuel Hatch.

Morrow writes that he has spent two weeks in the

Lower Annex completing a secondary dimensional review of remains transferred

from the basement of the original building. He notes that

the transfer had been ordered by someone he refers to

only as the director's representative, not Powell himself, but someone

acting on his authority. And then he writes the sentence

that researchers in the Tartarea community have circulated for years.

The largest of the catalogue entries measures 71 inches from

crown to base of mandible. And the skeletal proportions do

not conform to any range documented in the standard reference

text I have on hand. 71 inches. That is a

skull nearly 6 feet tall on its own.

Speaker 2: The Smithsonian has a wing with skeletal remains of giants.

And as he just mentioned, this is part of the

Tartaria story. The Tartaria story involves giants. The skeletons are

probably in the Smithsonian. You and I deal with mysteries

every night at this time between 2 and 3, 2

and 3.30. We go over the major mysteries, the conspiracy theories.

This is the urban campfire story. And of course, the

epicenter of the urban campfire story is Area 51. Listen

to this.

Speaker 11: Boyd Bushman was a senior scientist at Lockheed Martin with

classified clearance. Before he died in 2014, he recorded an

interview describing aliens from a planet 68 light years away.

A craft housed at Area 51 and 39 Americans killed

trying to reverse engineer it. He showed photographs of all three.

If none of it was true, why wait until he

was dying to say it?

Speaker 2: Area 51. Walter Sterling, adieu at 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222. You and

I are talking about mysteries, conspiracy theories, all of the

things that we truly enjoy talking about. There's a book

out called Out of the Shadows, and Out of the

Shadows is It came out two days ago, two days ago.

It reveals the truth about non-human intelligent life, it claims.

An explosive memoir by the most senior U.S. intelligence officer

to investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena, UAPs. For over 32 years,

Jay Stratton served the U.S. on the battlefield and as

a senior member of the national intelligence community. He specialized

in emerging and disruptive aerospace technologies, including the most classified U.S. capabilities,

making him uniquely qualified to identify anything in air and space.

But when presented with a video of a mysterious advanced

aerospace vehicle over a sensitive nuclear weapons site, Stratton quickly

found himself investigating the most significant national security threat of

our time. The book's gotten a lot of attention. There

are a number of revelations in the book, and you

and I are going to go over some of those revelations.

We're going to review some of the things that he revealed,

and they're unique in that he's sure. It isn't speculation.

Here's Jay Stratton.

Speaker 12: This book is very important to me. I wanted to

get the word out to the people. I've been working

behind the scenes for the last 20 years to get

us where we're at today in this disclosure movement. So

it's very important that people understand that the main point

is that the world deserves to know the truth. Humanity

is not the only intelligent life in the universe, nor

do we know the intent of the non-human intelligent life

that's here. It's very concerning. Let me take you back

to where it started. I was at the Defense Intelligence

Agency as the Chief of Air and Space Warfare. In

that role, I was responsible for emerging and disruptive threats.

And also, I had access to our most classified programs.

I understood where our technology is and where our technology

is going. And I also understood the technology levels of

the adversaries. And it was during that period that a

colleague brought to me a video of a triangular UAP

flying over nuclear missile silos in our most secure airspace.

And it was flying in ways that I could not

comprehend at the time. It was flying in demonstrated capabilities

that exceeded ours. Well, it was very telling because in

that position with the Defense Intelligence Agency, I was uniquely

qualified to identify anything flying in the air or space.

So when I'm watching something as an aerospace engineer that's

demonstrating capabilities that I don't understand and can't comprehend, That

was eye-opening and moving for me. I needed to understand

this technology, and I needed to understand who had it.

This is a threat, because it exceeds our capabilities. We

don't understand it, we don't know the intent, and we

don't know where it's from. I have seen non-human beings

and non-human craft with my own eyes.

Speaker 2: He has seen non-human beings and non-human craft with his

own eyes. Jay Stratton. His book.

Revealing the truth about non-human intelligent life out of the shadows.

And I have it on good authority that Jay Stratton

is going to be interviewed by John Katsimatidis and Rita

Cosby coming up. I'll get you the date and the

time as soon as I've got it. But this book

is making big waves. And Ross Coulthart last night discussed

on this show some of the revelations from this book

And that he is very close with Jay Stratton. They

have a great relationship. And I'm sure Ross will be

interviewing him as well. And he will be sharing that

information on Tuesday or Thursday nights on the other side

of midnight. We have the whole universe. We have the

entire universe covered for you. Jay Stratton.

Speaker 12: Both the defense contractor community and the government have a

craft of non-human origin. There is an ongoing program to

capture and reverse engineer this technology, and really, we're in

a secret Cold War race to do that. People who

have had this 80-year monopoly on the topic believe that

the secret is so intense, that the American people cannot

handle it. I believe that there may be aspects of

this that are so intense that they can't share it,

but they can share with the American people the basic

fact that we are not alone, that people can handle that.

I worked on several efforts to do this, and it

culminated when I had access to a nuclear submarine that

I could put out off the East Coast and I

had a P3, a Navy submarine hunting with a lot

of different equipment on it, and I parked it out

there to try and capture information data on this UAP,

and it worked. On their very first mission, a UAP appeared,

and the P3 worked to collect, and data was collected

on that mission. I got a phone call from two

flag officers, two different admirals, and a commander who was

their senior intelligence officer, and they said, Jay, we've seen

it with our own eyes. So these guys are the

cream of the crop, and they saw UAP phase in,

was their own words, over the training building on the compound.

And it just disappeared as fast as it was there.

Then the rest of the story, or the more important

part of the story is, in order to really understand

that information, I need to get it into the intelligence record.

So I had to get them debriefed. They came to

the Pentagon and a senior officer, someone senior to them,

someone who I believe is involved in this legacy program,

this historic cover up, the hidden hand, as I call

it in the book, intercepted them. and convince them that

their reputations are on the line if they make this report.

Speaker 2: They didn't make the report. That's Jay Stratton, author of

Out of the Shadows. Stratton comes out of the shadows

to provide a startling and eye-opening firsthand account of his

battle to uncover the truth and address the most mysterious

and complex national security threat of our time. He shares

the shocking discoveries, challenges, behind-the-scenes revelations, and close encounters that

profoundly altered his understanding of humanity's place in the universe

and took a disturbing toll on him and his family.

Former big deal government official put out a book, Out

of the Shadows, came out two days ago. His revelations

were sharing. There are more in the book, obviously. It

sounds to me The revelations are really interesting, and I'm

sure they're true, but it also sounds to me, based

on the history, what he had to put up with

with his family, threats to be quiet, there may have

been a little trauma in here. He may be a

little bit cautious and a little distorted in what he

saw and what he feels, but he is the closest

and the highest-ranked official to come out and share this information.

It is always worth paying attention. How do you feel

about this? His point, which I've heard too many times,

too many times, is there was great concern about whether

or not you and I were ready for this information.

And even he says, I'm not sure if we're ready

for this information. I am sure that we are ready

for this information. How do you feel about it? How

do you feel about the discovery, the revelation of the

truth about UFOs? There was a whole series for nine years.

The X-Files. All the X-Files was, was Mulder wanted to

get to the truth. He just wanted the truth. That's

all he wanted was the truth. Mulder on the X-Files.

All of these revelations sound like that. Not just with Jay.

With everybody who talks about UFOs. May have seen one.

Used to see one.

Speaker 8: Sorry.

Speaker 2: Jackie Gleason saw one. All of that. Could human beings,

could we handle the truth? You couldn't handle the truth, right?

I think we can handle the truth. I think for 50,

60 years we have been prepped for this event, to

be told the truth, to be shown the alien, to

be shown the flying saucers. I think it's time. And

I think that's why it's taken so long, was to

make sure our culture, our people, our brains could handle

this information. This is Jay Stratton. who's put out a

brand new book, came out two days ago called Out

of the Shadows.

Speaker 12: Throughout history, the secrets sometimes are so impactful to our

national security that steps have been taken to remove the

problem and the people. But I don't think he's seen it.

I think he's still being shielded from the truth. And

we have to work hard to bring the truth to

the president because the president that goes to the microphone

to tell the world we're not alone, that's a monumental moment.

I think China and Russia are both working on reverse engineering,

crafting non-human origin. Somebody's wrong. And I think that America's

going to pay the price if the truth doesn't win

in this situation. The world deserves the truth. I've briefed

Congress numerous times. I was one of the first to

brief Congress on this topic in the modern era in

2007 when I briefed Senator Harry Reid. And I continued

that through the rest of the next 16 years until

I left the government and retired. The book, it puts

everything in context and it brings it together. It's evergreen.

It covers UAP cases over U.S. military bases that haven't

been discussed yet. It gives you descriptions and details of

recovered craft. We don't know the intent. Sad for me

to say after 16 plus years of looking at this

for the government and 20 plus years of looking at it,

we do not know the intent.

Speaker 2: We don't know why they're here. That's what Jay Stratton

is saying. We don't know why they're here. Please understand

that I respect Jay Stratton and I believe that he's

telling his truth. But there are pieces that confuse me.

How could you work with alien crafts, aliens, see actual aliens,

talk to Mr. Alien, and not have any idea why

they are here. No idea. Seems fair. Why would you

divert an atomic submarine just to be a decoy and

distract UFOs rather than protect our coast? These are some

of the things that confuse me. But then again, I

haven't seen any actual aliens, and therefore I'm not the

best source. The big issue, according to Jay Stratton and

every other UFO person from the government that I have

talked to, listened to, it always is the same thing,

that you and I are not ready for this. We're

not ready. We're not sure people will be ready. And therefore,

about a year ago, they, you know who they are,

assembled religious leaders from around the country into a meeting

in Washington to say, this is what we have. This

is what we know. Are your people ready? Will this

interfere with your concept of God? Will this interfere with

your ability to lead people to your God? Are you

ready for this? My friend, Midnight Misfit, are you ready

for this? The phone number is 800-848-9222, 800-848-9222. I don't

understand why they were so worried about organized religion. Suddenly

people would not believe in God anymore. suddenly people would

believe these aliens are their gods? I don't think we're

that stupid. I believe that it won't affect our belief

in God except to make God bigger. If there are

more living entities, more intelligent forms of life in the universe,

doesn't that just make God bigger? I think it does.

It's nothing threatening, nothing scary. If these aliens have been

here for 50, 60, or thousands of years... If they

had the ability to slaughter us, shoot us, kill us,

they would have. I don't believe they do. Consider the

possibility that aliens have come here without any weapons. Never

even occurred to them to kill anything. Whole different culture.

Looking at everything differently. The opposite of the way we

look at things.

Speaker 8: 800-848-9222.

Speaker 2: I'm Walter Sterling. This is The Other Side of Midnight,

and this is the Red Apple Audio Networks.

Speaker 1: The Other Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling. The Other

Side of Midnight with Walter Sterling.

Speaker 2: Strippers on the loose, on the other side of midnight.

Speaker 3: Beach Girls. It's located on Raccoon River Road in West

Des Moines, Iowa. And for those of you who are

unfamiliar with the topography of Iowa, West Des Moines is

sort of the ritzy area. Real ritzy, and they got

a gentleman's club called Beach Girls. And this feller... was

in Beach Girls wanting to be entertained in the champagne room.

His name is Winston Henry Stewart. Threefold first names. Or

maybe it should be Henry Stewart Winston.

Speaker 8: I don't know.

Speaker 3: Makes no sense. He's from Des Moines. He was charged

with assault with the intent to commit sexual abuse in

the champagne room. The incident began at 2.45 on Saturday morning.

At Beach Girls in West Des Moines, the bodyguard heard

the dancer screaming for help. That this guy was touching

her in places she didn't want to be touched. This

is a gal that was as pure as the driven snow.

And again speaking, if you are going to touch a

dancer in the champagne room, you've got to tip her right.

And also ask for permission. You just don't grab things.

Apparently that's what this feller was doing. So when the

cops got there.

And dealt with. They found a THC vape product. They

arrested him for that. Stewart, by the way, was asked

to leave the business. He refused to do so. They

actually had the cops yank him out. A wonderful thing

to notice when you go into a club. I'm perplexed

by this. THC, at least medical marijuana, which you don't

really need to say anything I understand from Iowa. You

just go into the dispensary and they'll just give.

Speaker 2: It to you.

Speaker 3: He had a THC vape product. Probably helping him with

his goiter. Or maybe he has glaucoma or a severe

case of hemorrhoids. That THC vape product, I think, would

be legal in the state of Iowa. Maybe an illegal one.

Maybe that's what the drug dealers are doing now. They're

making THC vape products. And if the state's not getting

tax money out of it, yeah, they're not a happy

group of people. Be a gentleman. And I don't care

if you've had a couple of drinks and you're on

fentanyl or something or weed or.

Speaker 2: Whatever you're on.

Speaker 3: These ladies deserve your respect. They deserve your respect like

there's no tomorrow. Treat them kindly like you would your

own sister. From the Champagne Room in West Des Moines.

I'm Velo Houle, strippers on the loose, Walter Sterling, the

other side of midnight, Red Apple Audio Network.

Speaker 11: Become the media, call 800-848-9222.

Speaker 9: I don't know, it was weird.

Speaker 10: At first it felt icky, and then it was.

Speaker 8: Sort of okay.

Speaker 2: This is Selma Blair, she's very sexually orient.

Speaker 10: Then I started getting really hot, and then I started.

Speaker 8: Shaking, and then....

Speaker 7: And it's, I don't know, it was weird.

Speaker 8: It just felt like an explosion.

Speaker 2: And then she bit a flight attendant on American Airlines.

An explosion, and then she bit a flight attendant on

American Airlines. This is not the first time that Selma

has been out of control on an airplane. Selma Blair,

out of control on an airplane. Walter Sterling puzzled. By

all the reports that said she was an A-list actress,

Selma Blair loses control on American Airlines. The last movie

she was in was over 20 years ago. I'm sure

she's been in many other movies since. But the last

real movie, Cruel Intentions, that was like 20 years ago.

It's a pretty intense movie. Did you see that movie?

There was no story, but there were a lot of

incredibly attractive tweens. Running around, flirting with each other, committing bisexuality,

committing lesbianism. Lesbianism. It was a whole thing. A whole thing.

A whole thing.

Speaker 10: As I've never known I was gay, I just fell

in love with you, Danae.

Speaker 13: Like, I don't even view you as like a woman.

I just view you as a soul. So she's like,

it feels weird that I have to use the word

coming out when that's never really been my story. And

she told her parents that she liked me the day

after the ACMs. She sat him down at breakfast and

was like, I have a crush.

Speaker 8: On Danae Hayes.

Speaker 1: I was like, oh, is that easy?

Speaker 13: My parents put me in a concentration camp.

Speaker 2: You know? 800-848-9222 with Walter Sterling. You and I are

talking about the book Out of the Shadows by Jay Stratton.

Jay Stratton was an intelligence officer, high-ranking senior U.S. intelligence officer,

and he has done investigations on unidentified anomalous phenomena, UAPs,

and non-human intelligent life. And some of the revelations from

his book, we've gone over the past half hour. We'll

go over more of them with the legendary Dave Scott.

And then Ross Colthart from News Nation yesterday revealed that

he has a profound relationship with Jay Stratton. They're close friends.

I expect he's going to find out more from Jay

Stratton than anybody else could because he's Ross Colthart. And

he revealed many of the things from that book during

his report yesterday. And I believe he also revealed it

last month and the month before that and the month

before that because he talks to Jay all the time,

which is why I have Ross Coulthard on this show

every Wednesday. Yes, every Wednesday morning and every Friday morning. Tomorrow,

you and I are going to talk to Robert Clotworthy

and the sound engineer, the sound technician for Ancient Aliens

and the Curse of Oak Island. because I am obsessed

with the setup that Robert Cloutworthy has to record and

narrate ancient aliens. The setup is he's got four microphones,

and they record spontaneously. Can you imagine that?

Speaker 7: Four.
