BONUS Moskowitz (see TRANSCRIPT III below)
Will your Democratic Party continue the Secrets Task Force in the new 120th Congress in January?
“I look forward to talking to the future [Oversight] Chairman [Robert Garcia] about that issue, because it’s been a bipartisan issue. It’s something that a lot of people talk about,” Moskowitz tells Ask a Pol UAP. “So, that’ll be up to him whether he wants to keep it, but, you know, I’m definitely going to advocate that we should.”

TRANSCRIPT III: Rep. Jared Moskowitz (11-11-2026)
SCENE: After voting on the House floor, Rep. Moskowitz comes down the Capitol steps and speaks with Ask a Pol UAP founder Matt Laslo.
The conversation is briefly broken up as Moskowitz walks through the congressional press corps…
Matt Laslo: “Garcia tells me he wants you to chair.”
Jared Moskowitz: “Oh, is that what he said?”
They laugh.
ML: “No. But do you guys think continuing the [Secrets] Task Force?”
JM: “Well, I’m going to, I’m going to talk to him about it.”
ML: “Yeah?”
JM: “You know, because it’s an issue that the Chairman, the future [Oversight Committee] Chairman [Robert Garcia] has been involved in.”
Moskowitz cuts through a small scrum of reporters interviewing Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Greg Casar.
ML: “Yeah?”
Friend of Ask a Pol Joe Khalil of NewsNation starts talking to Moskowitz as Laslo goes around the scrum…
ML: “What were you saying, Congressman?”
JM: “Yeah. So, I mean — so, you know, I look forward to talking to the future Chairman about that issue, because it’s been a bipartisan issue. It’s something that a lot of people talk about. So, that’ll be up to him whether he wants to keep it, but, you know, I’m definitely going to advocate that we should.”
ML: “Not going away?”
JM: “Yeah.”
ML: “Thank you.”
