TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Jim Himes (6-6-2025)

SCENE: Rep. Jim Himes rushes to catch an elevator just off the floor of the US House of Representatives when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo grabs his attention — if begrudgingly so… — and then proceeds to hop on an elevator with the HPSCI Ranking Member.

Matt Laslo: “Hey congressman.”

Jim Himes: “Hey! How are ya?”

Matt Laslo: “Living the dream.”

Himes laughs.

ML: “Are you aware of this UFO/ UAP…?”

JH: “Oh, come on!”

ML: “…task force within the FBI?”

JH: “No, I'm not.”

ML: “Oh, really?”

JH: “No, I'm not.”

ML: “They just, the FBI just gave a briefing…”

JH: “Oh really?”

ML: “...this unit, to the UAP Caucus / Secrets Task Force. And they said it was actually more illuminating than AARO. They were more open, and they had footage that AARO has never seen.”

JH: “You think they had access to Defense Department compartmented programs?”

Laslo shrugs.

JH: “Yeah. So obviously I can't comment, because I don't know a thing about it.”

ML: “Yeah?”

JH: “It's interesting, because the FBI was in front of the committee yesterday [Thursday, 6-5-2025) asking for their intel budget, but I'll read up on it.”

ML: “And this issue didn't come up?”

JH: “It did not come up, no.”

ML: “Figures. Thank you, sir.”

JH: “You're the only guy who really brings it up.”

Himes exits elevator.

ML: “I know, sir.”

Laslo stays on elevator to go back up to the House floor.

ML: “Sorry, not sorry!”

Laslo laughs.

Himes is a condescending a-hole, isn't he?
