Watch "Unreported with Meagan Medick" here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6PrA6lo8rJKtTsTq9eAtpNdZzuyST-R- Ross Coulthart explores mysterious untold stories using a fact-based approach to address various topics, from unidentified aerial phenomena to other mysteries that often go unreported. Now, he is turning to viewers, answering their pressing questions each week. In this week's episode, Coulthart reacts to David Grusch's bombshell press conference on the Capitol steps, the multiple types of nonhuman intelligence Grusch described on the record and the growing push for tougher whistleblower protections inside Congress. Coulthart answers questions about the billions of dollars of concealed defense slush funds that could give Congress its constitutional foothold, and why the White House's engagement with UAP disclosure may signal a turning point. Plus, Ross shares his reaction to attending the premiere of Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day." #DisclosureDay #SeanKirkpatrick #whistleblowers CREDITS Host: Ross Coulthart Executive Producer: Andy Gipson Editorial Producer: Meagan Medick Segment Producer: Christine Jenkinson Associate Producer: Will Tomasi Research Producer: Rob Jones Editor: Sarah Jackson 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.
