Minor correction for your transcript:

> ML: “[Sen. Mike] Rounds says it’s maybe the House that’s getting it.”

I think Laslo probably said "gutting it" not "getting it" based on context.

Love the reporting as always, *AND* the transcripts. First typo I think I've ever seen.

I think you have to be a forensic accountant (or else have video of someone grabbing the bags of cash🤣) to solve this mystery, because I always go back to Deep Throat’s sage advice to Bob Woodward: “Follow the money.”

That's why I've wondered for a while now whether this isn't a battle of the donors: Silicon Valley wanting Congress to beat up the MIC for access to UAP-derived innovation — and meeting heavy covert resistance because no one wants to talk about it.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. Ever since Karl Nell appeared at the SALT iConnections conference last year and Alex Klokus became involved in Skywatcher it’s been clear that the main conflict was between Wall Street/Tech who want in and the Legacy Program ensconced in the MIC. Some limited disclosure might be useful to the newcomers as a strategic move to pry open the vaults of the LP, but ultimately they want custody of “the goodies,” as George Knapp refers to them, and to control the narrative. IMHO it would not amount to genuine Disclosure. As The Who sang long ago, “Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.”

Laslo is asking the right questions. Congress doesnt know. I'm sorry but, Congress should know why congressional bills aren't getting passed.

Matt, you’ve gone to both sides of congress and asked almost everyone who’s involved or who’s been alleged to be blocking it. What’s your take? What do you think is happening that keeps preventing UAPDA from becoming law?

Who even f’n cares what I think — how the f*ck do the principals not even know who’s 🔪 is out 3 years in a row now!?!?

I do expect Members will get more clarity (if they care to) on this question without Turner in power this ground.

At a minimum, it narrows options on this shitty congressional Clue board…

yes why does it all stay so secreet why are Congrees affraid to pass the 2025 UAPDA [ UAP Disclosure Act] in this year’s NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act]?” Are they all being paid off?
