## Resource

In tonight's episode, we will be discussing how if you spend enough time looking through the defense establishment, the national labs, and the private aerospace firms that hold some of our deepest secrets, you get used to a certain level of cold, bureaucratic silence. But lately, that silence has been broken by the sound of gavels, frantic oversight hearings, and something far more disturbing: a body count.
