LISTEN: Laslo & Bob Menendez
TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Bob Menendez (7-26-2023)
Asked Menendez about Grusch the day before, but the Senate tram was closing so he couldn’t hear the question.
Matt Laslo: “Hey how are you sir. Random one I asked you yesterday. Have you heard of, has this UAP-UFO whistleblower, David Grusch, been on your radar at all?”
Bob Menendez: “UAP?”
ML: “UFOs. UAPS — it’s the new…”
BM: “No, no, no, no.”
ML: “Yeah? He testified in the House today, and Intel’s looking into him. You should talk to [Intel Chair Mark] Warner or [Intel Vice-Chair Marco] Rubio about him.”
BM: “Okay. Okay.”
ML: “It’s all classified, so I’m not allowed to know anything.”
BM: “Well, you seem to know more than I do!”
Menendez laughs.
ML: “Right? Preciate ya, sir.”
BM: “Alright.”
