I just want one reporter to ask “Can you confirm that if this was indeed a top secret military program in development, that your first response would be to deny it was the military to keep the program secure?”

Like stop asking if it’s the military, get to the point and ask if you’d be told to deny it if it was the military.

Personally, I think it’s ramping up for a surveillance drone state in the US. As the homeland security administrator said, they’ve been concerned about how people talk on the internet for some time, long before Luigi Mangione popped off. They’ve viewed their own citizens as the enemy for a long time now, and the mask has been slipping hard.
