LISTEN: Laslo & Sen. Bill Hagerty
TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Bill Hagerty (7-19-2023)
Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you senator? Curious, has this UAP or UFO whistleblower David Grusch come across your radar at all?”
Bill Hagerty: “No.”
ML: “No? There's a UAP amendment. Schumer has an amendment with — well, actually [Sen. Marco] Rubio’s investigating it with [Sen. Mark] Warner.”
BH: “Oh, from an Intel…”
ML: “Intel. And Gillibrand’s looking into it from Armed Services. I think there’s gonna be a House…”
Hagerty shrugs.
ML: “I know.”
BH: “It hasn’t come across my radar. Thanks for letting me know about it.”
ML: “Preciate ya.”
