Logan Isaac: Hey you [with] Senator Manning? [nods] Hi, my name's Logan Isaac.

Matthew Keating: Hi

Logan Isaac: Senator Manning hasn't given a hearing to SB 1057 or Senate Joint Memorial One; when can he get that on the calendar?

Matthew Keating: I will speak with the senator when I’m back in the office.

Logan Isaac: When shall I follow up with Senator Manning? Actually, no, I'm not welcome because I've been banished from the capital. When will Senator Manning hold a hearing for SJM 1 and SB 1057?

Matthew Keating: I’ll find out when I’m back in the office.

Logan Isaac: I want to know and I can't find out unless I go to the office because I've been banished from the capital unlawfully. When will Senator Manning hold hearings for civil rights for military families? You can call him, Yeah that's great let's get a date…

Matthew Keating: I don’t know when to check times are, I [inaudible] so, uh… You can email, you can call…

Logan Isaac: Wait, no, he has ignored several emails of mine. When will Senator Manning have a hearing on military civil rights?

Matthew Keating: I will check that when I get back.

Logan Isaac: Okay, Matt Keating, when will you call me to make sure that my rights as a military family are being respected.

Matthew Keating: Do you have a card?

Logan Isaac: I don't... I don't have the ability to email right now but I want an answer, and I can't go to the capital.

Matthew Keating: …my lunch break. I appreciate that you want an answer…

Logan Isaac: Are you a member of [James Mannings’] Congressional staff? That makes you a public servant, and here you are, in public. I'm asking another member of the public why they have a private interest in not answering when we're going to have hearings on SJM 1 and SB 1057.

Matthew Keating: I appreciate your service and your sacrifice.

Logan Isaac: When can we expect to have hearings on civil rights for military families?

Matthew Keating: I'm not a member of congressional staff…

Logan Isaac: But [your name tag identifies you as] a “policy adviser” for Senator Manning, you must have privileged information about my interactions with Senator Manning.

Matthew Keating: Well I'm just waiting for my lunch.

Logan Isaac: Well yeah so am I. I'm still waiting too, just waiting. I just want to make sure cuz I'm going to put this up on a public forum later; Matt Keating has been asked in public when his employer, Senator James Manning, is going to hold hearings on military civil rights and why he kicked out SJM 1 from his own committee as the chair of the senate committee for veterans.

Matthew Keating: I'm just waiting for my lunch, but I I appreciate…

Logan Isaac: Yeah, I'm just waiting for my rights. 🤷
