Summary

Christopher Mellon (Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Bill Clinton & George W. Bush Administrations) joins Chris Cuomo to demand greater transparency from the U.S. government on UAPs, UFOs, and drone incursions. Mellon breaks down serious gaps in national airspace defense, the dangers of excessive classification, and the ongoing failure to brief Congress and the public. He calls on the current Trump administration to follow through on declassification promises and warns that without transparency, distrust in government will continue to grow.
