Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh engaged in an informal debate over the existence of extraterrestrial beings and unidentified flying objects after the U.S. Congress held its first public hearing investigating reported military encounters with alleged crafts of non-human origins since the 1960s.

In late July, the House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs held the much anticipated hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena — which included two former U.S. Navy pilots and a decorated military veteran and intelligence official-turned-whistleblower.

But whether or not the truth about aliens and UFOs will ever come to light, it comes down to applying facts and logic for Shapiro and Walsh — both of whom have their own set of conceptual representations of external observations.

“It’s bull crap,” Shapiro said during his show last week. “Okay — I’m just gonna put out there right now. There are no aliens on planet Earth, other than perhaps Bernie Sanders. There are no aliens. Okay, there may be in the universe, they haven’t found us yet.”

Shapiro’s argument stems from the Bigfoot debate. In a society reliant on smartphone cameras and social media addictions, Shapiro said if  “so many people have seen Bigfoot,” then credible images of this large and hairy human-like mythical creature would be all over the Internet.

Comparing Bigfoot to aliens is different story for Walsh, however, who began his segment claiming he would “destroy” Shapiro with his own set of facts and logic. He argued that if Shapiro admitted preconceived biases up front about the possibility of aliens visiting Earth before looking at the evidence, then it diminishes his credibility on the subject.

“When you were already committed to that response, you were openly committed to that response before you looked at [the evidence],” he said.

The Department of Defense released a statement insisting that its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which has been tasked with investigating UFOs, “has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.” In addition, AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick said the hearing was “insulting” to members of his team.

But during sworn testimony before Congress, witness and whistleblower David Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, said he is aware of where the U.S. government is covertly keeping unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs).

Grusch claimed he knows the “exact locations” based on interviews of “over 40 witnesses over four years” when asked about UFOs, the popular term used to describe UAPs. Though Grusch declared that he was limited in what he could disclose publicly, he stated that the locations have been provided to an inspector general and “some” to the congressional intelligence panels.

Walsh said the UFO photos and video footage dating back to the 1950s still have not been debunked. But Shapiro doesn’t buy the argument, citing examples of how such occurrences would defy the laws of physics.

“It’s not a question of ‘for sures’ because I don’t know for sure,” Shapiro said. “All I’m saying is that the evidence you’re presenting me is going to have to be better than a guy saw a shadowy image that appeared to defy the laws of physics.”

My friend @MattWalshBlog thinks he destroyed me with "facts and logic" over aliens and UFOs…but here's why he's wrong.

Former backup dancers for Lizzo filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against the singer and her production company alleging sexual harassment and a toxic work environment.

In a lawsuit obtained by People magazine and filed in Los Angeles Superior Court against the 35-year-old singer — born Melissa Jefferson — the three backup dancers are suing Lizzo, her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, Inc. and Lizzo’s dance team captain, Shirlene Quigley.

The three dancers — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez — in the suit allege that Lizzo pressured them to engage with nude performers at an Amsterdam club in February of 2023.

“Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers,” the filing states, per Associated Press. During the sexually themed show in Amesterdam’s Red Light District, the “Good as Hell” hitmaker allegedly led a chant pressuring Davis to touch the breasts of one of the nude women performing at the club, despite the dancer “expressing her desire not to touch the performer,” People noted.

“Finally, the chorus became overwhelming, and a mortified Ms. Davis acquiesced in an attempt to bring an end to the chants,” the complaint states, the outlet noted. “Plaintiffs were aghast with how little regard Lizzo showed for the bodily autonomy of her employees and those around her, especially in the presence of many people whom she employed.”

Another part of the filing reads: “… things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers,” and interacting with objects “launched” from the performers’ vaginas, Page Six noted.

The suit also alleged that a member of the “About Damn Time” singer’s security team was reportedly pressured to get on stage and told by the singer to “take it off.”

Davis also alleged that she underwent what was labeled an “excruciating” 12-hour rehearsal, and “fearing the repercussions” of excusing herself to go to the restroom, “had no choice but to ‘soil herself’ on stage,” Page Six noted.

In the suit, Quigley is accused of allegedly pushing her Christian beliefs onto dancers and “oversharing her masturbatory habits and sex life with her husband” with the team, People noted.

Davis and Williams started performing with Lizzo in 2021, and were later fired in April and May. Rodriguez, who was hired in 2021, left earlier this year, People noted.

“The stunning nature of how Lizzo and her management team treated their performers seems to go against everything Lizzo stands for publicly, while privately she weight-shames her dancers and demeans them in ways that are … absolutely demoralizing,” the plaintiffs’ attorney, Ron Zambrano, said in a statement.

After the lawsuit surfaced, Lizzo’s former creative director Quinn Whitney Wilson and dancer Courtney Hollinquest posted messages on social media showing support for the dancers, Page Six noted.

“I’m not apart of the lawsuit – but this was very much my experience in my time there…” Hollinquest wrote. “I very much applaud the dancers courage to bring this to light.”

Wilson shared the dancers’ screenshot.

“I haven’t been apart of that world for around three years, for a reason,” the former director wrote. “I very much applaud the dancers courage to bring this to light[,] and I grieve parts of my own experience. I’d appreciate space to understand my feelings.”
