Good interview as always.

Please bring up the discussion of that UAP legislation that still needs to make it through the house potentially being removed to them.

The Senate one tucked into NDAA? On it! See our Rounds (?) and Warner last week (? i think...) saying those rumors were waaaay pre-mature. But definately one to watch, cause Turner seems to be....elusive AF....

Good interview. Is she aware of some of the claims that whistleblowers have made about AARO not taking their claims seriously? I can’t remember what reporters said, maybe it was Jeremy Corbell, but essentially some whistleblowers have gone to AARO to try to testify but AARO did not get them into a scif. They had an unclassified conversation over the phone, and received no follow up.

If gillibrand wants AARO to be the right process for people to trust, then she needs to ensure that AARO does the work to get these whistleblowers into SCIFs to be read the classified data. Then AARO needs to be legislatively empowered to be read in to the alleged programs and study the materials.

Yup yup. That's what her, Rounds, Rubio and, it seems, Warner have pressured AARO on.

Plan to ask if they think AARO should be independent of Pentagon, cause duh...

How would that work? What other executive bodies can be read into that level of classification under the current system?

Basically, what other branch should AARO be moved into?

Thinking more, SEC or FAA -- though both terribly flawed example because of eternal revolving door between industry and the companies they are supposed to regulate.
