Speaker 1: Megan Medic, 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 2: Oh, my God. That can't be true, Walter. That can't

be true.

Speaker 1: It's a radio fact. So, Megan, what are you working on?

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

Speaker 2: 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 of in this underground structure that

we believe is the Ark, do you want the exclusive?

I'm like, yeah, obviously. So 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. He's just

like a 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 does ancient texts tell us about fallen angels, judgment, giants,

what led to the flood, 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 1: Do you believe there were giants?

Speaker 2: 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 1: 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 2: Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1: 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 2: Well, sir, 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 the U.S.

government care about as 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 1: How and where do we see your incredible television show?

Speaker 2: You can go to NewsNation's YouTube page and search Unreported

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

to us today?

Speaker 2: 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 1: It sounds like a fun time. I thank you very

much for joining us from News Nation on the other
