Since 9/11 most aircraft in the US constantly monitor 121.5.

I don't know what planet your on, but NONE of the bush pilots
up here in alaska, listen to 121.5...

I assume he was referring to this:

2. All aircraft operating in the U.S. national airspace, if capable, will
maintain a listening watch on VHF guard 121.5 or UHF 243.0. It is incumbent
on all aviators to know and understand their responsibilities if
intercepted. Additionally, if the U.S. military intercepts an aircraft and
flares are dispensed in the area of that aircraft, aviators will pay strict
attention, contact air traffic control immediately on the local frequency or
on VHF guard 121.5 or UHF 243.0 and follow the intercept's visual ICAO
signals. Be advised that noncompliance may result in the use of force.
