Caught our ear:
“No,” Veasey tells us.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Marc Veasey
SCENE: Thursday, for the second day in a row, in the midst of an ongoing markup of this year’s sweeping and expansive NDAA Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo asks for a quick UAP update from House Armed Services Committee — aka HASC — member Rep. Marc Veasey.
Both of our interviews (only one of which we have time to drop now. Sorry!!!) occurred during a vote of the entire House of Representatives. Other than those votes, HASC members were all but locked inside their markup.
The Capitol grounds are chaotic. Bulky Black SUVs. A herds of reporters there. A sporadic sleek sedan. An occasional whizzing hybrid. An occasional lone wolf reporter like Laslo lurking in the sun-drenched shadows, with quick follow-up questions only.
When Congress is out, Congress is OUT!
Matt Laslo: “Did UAPs come up?”
In the whizzing chaos, Laslo instantly senses — ie, knows — the congressman misheard the question.
Marc Veasey: “Yeah, it did.”
Laslo now knows the congressman missed the full question.
ML: “In the markup…”
MV: “Which one?”
ML: “UAPs?”
MV: “No. They have not. No.”
ML: “No?”
MV: “Naw.”

Veasey shakes head no.
ML: “Yeah?”
MV: “Yeah.”
ML: “I’ll be watching.”
MV: “Yeah, I bet.”
ML: “Preciate ya.”
Happy Memorial Day!
Thanks for your service.

I'm excited to see Burchert in the Discord session, Thanks, Matt!
If you can get Rep Turner to respond ask him if this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUL8QhIOmf0 was a Deep State meeting to strategize a disclosure counterattack.
Thanks.
I wonder who's decision it is to include or not include this. Unsure of if it's not included bc they haven't gotten around to it yet or if someone is deliberately steering the conversation away from it.
Hopefully the lack of UAPs doesn't mean pushback when they have to reconcile bills.
