Now we're live. Three, two, one, boom. Hello, Annie.

00:00:03

Hello, Joe.

00:00:05

Very nice to meet you. I'm excited to talk to you.

00:00:07

I'm super excited to talk to you about several subjects, but this one,

00:00:10

thank you very much for this first edition copy of your Area 51,

00:00:14

an uncensored history of America's top secret military basebook.

00:00:18

I'm super excited about this.

00:00:19

I heard through the grapevine you were a fan.

00:00:21

I'm a freak when it comes to this stuff.

00:00:23

What do you think is going on up there?

00:00:25

I mean, same thing that's going on all over the place when it comes to military secrets,

00:00:29

which is stuff that you want to know about, very few people know about,

00:00:33

and every now and then a journalist gets a hint at it.

00:00:37

Yeah. Do you think there's any alien stuff up there?

00:00:41

I write in the book all about that.

00:00:42

Yeah. Well, tell me.

00:00:43

Last 12 pages. You want me to...

00:00:45

Want me to go to the last 12 pages?

00:00:47

What do you think?

00:00:49

So Area 51 was this secret test base where the CIA was running spy plane programs, right?
