Summary
In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart and Meagan Medick tackle the fallout from Coulthart's recent comments about Lue Elizondo's past role in the legacy UAP program, addressing what he calls misreporting of his statements. Coulthart tackles questions about the Elizondo controversy and why whistleblowers remain silent despite NDAs, Michael Shermer's controversial appointment to the White House UAP Science Advisory Council and whether nonhuman intelligence shows any interest in human art, music and culture. #LueElizondo #ChrisCuomo #RossCoulthart CREDITS: Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson, Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Anthony Diasio On "Reality Check," NewsNation Special Correspondent Ross Coulthart takes a fact-based approach to tackle everything from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) to mysteries often missing from the headlines.
