Who?

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Committee

LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison

Ask a Pol asks:

If you all get a Select UAP Committee in this new Congress, are you still interested in hiring UFO whistleblower David Grusch as a part of its staff?

Key Burlison:

“Oh, yeah. Absolutely,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “If I had any say in it, I would try to get them to hire Grusch and [Lue] Elizondo.”

Elizondo, an author and former Army counterintelligence officer, testified before the House Oversight Committee Nov. 13, 2024.

US House Oversight Chair Comer says a Select UAP Committee “is being discussed”

Caught our ear:

What are the chances of you all getting a Select Committee?

“I don't know. I'm asking [Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer. I've asked the Speaker [Mike Johnson] before,” Burlison tells us. “I would love it if Tim Burchett could chair it. Anybody from the UAP Caucus would be great.”

Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), slightly edited for clarity.

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison

Matt Laslo (OFF MIC*): Where do you want the UAP investigation to go in this new Congress?

*Laslo’s mic was slow booting up…

Eric Burlison: “Again, all the things before: I want to get a special Select Subcommittee on it. I want to get established, get it staffed up, get it need to know.”

Burlison and his family are traversing a crowded tunnel, because the first day of Congress is packed with member’s families and friends.
