Charles Barkleyis ready to settle the alien debate once and for all.
Days afterBarack ObamaandPresident Trumpwent back-and-forth on thereality of aliens existing, the Round Mound of Rebound told Ernie Johnson on"The Steam Room"podcast that politicians cannot be trusted and for that reason, Chuck can't believe in aliens.

"First of all, our government probably got so many secrets," Chuck told his fellow "Inside The NBA" co-host. "I don't think you could keep [aliens] a secret. So, I don't believe in aliens. I do not. I don't believe in ghosts or anything like that.
During a recent interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, Barkley's buddy, President Obama, confidently stated that aliens are "real," but noted that he had not "seen them."
Days later,Obama took to Instagram where he backtracked. "I was trying to stick with the spirit of the speed round, but since it’s gotten attention let me clarify," the former president wrote. "Statistically, the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there. But the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really."
After Obama let the aliens thing slip,Trump was asked about the comments. Barry gave up "classified information" with his alien revelation, and that's a no-no, Trump alleges.
While these two battle it out, Barkley's mind is made up.
There's really nothing out there, Chuck?
