Matt Laslo: “Random, random question.”
Ben Cardin: “You always have a good one.”
ML: “Right? What does the name David Grusch mean to you?”
BC: “David Grusch?”
ML: “Have you heard of this UAP whistleblower?”
BC: “You know, I think, I have heard of it, but I don’t know enough about it to respond.”
ML: “No? Fair. Appreciate ya, sir, have a good one.”
