The Good Trouble Show | UFO, UAP & Politics Interviews
The Good Trouble Show | Matt Ford | Interviews on Politics, UAP, National Security, AI & more!
The Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford is an investigative journalism program delivering long-form interviews and sharp political commentary on UAP disclosure, government accountability, and national security transparency. Now in its fifth season with over 335 episodes, the show brings the format of late-night television to serious investigative reporting — combining in-depth guest interviews with editorial monologues on the stories Washington doesn't want you paying attention to. Our UAP disclosure coverage features exclusive interviews with military whistleblowers, intelligence community insiders, Pentagon officials, and the congressional leaders driving transparency legislation. From the UAP Disclosure Act to classified program oversight, we follow the story others won't touch. Beyond UAP, The Good Trouble Show covers government accountability, congressional oversight, civil liberties, and threats to democratic institutions — holding power to account with the same investigative rigor whether the subject is Pentagon secrecy or executive overreach. Guests have included Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, former Pentagon insider Lue Elizondo, ex-Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Christopher Mellon, documentary filmmaker James Fox, and leading voices in national security journalism and scientific research. Subscribe for investigative journalism that connects the dots between what's happening in Washington, what's happening in our skies, and what's being kept from the American public.
