Who?
Rep. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) — Chairwoman of Oversight Committee’s Subcommittee on CyberSecurity, IT and Government Innovation
LISTEN: Laslo & Mace*
*Heads up: Two portions of the interview go silent, because Mace asked to go off-the-record to discuss sensitive content with Ask a Pol.
Ask a Pol asks:
When’s the next House UAP hearing and what’s your goal as Chairwoman?
Key Mace:
“November 13th,” Mace exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “I want whistleblowers to feel like they can come forward. I want people protected. Every American deserves the right to know how their how their tax dollars are being spent and what it’s being spent on. And if it's no big deal, why hide it?”
Caught our ear:
“I don't trust anybody,” Mace says. “I can't trust anybody. I mean, truly, you can't trust anyone up here. You just can't.”
“No. It’s the fucking swamp,” Ask a Pol replies.
“It’s the fucking swamp. That is 100% right,” Mace agrees. “It’s 100% right.”
Real Talk: F*ck the bullsh*t
“I go to these SCIFS, I'll go for a briefing in a classified setting, and ‘Well, we can't tell you,’ because, you know, I'm not read in on it — I don't know the name of the program, I’m not read in on it,” Mace tells Ask a Pol. “How the hell our we supposed to know how much money is being spent on it and where it’s being spent? It's bullshit. And that’s all I have to say. And I don't like bullshit, and that's what we deal with a lot up here. That's a reason to have these hearings: get information, have greater transparency and put the government on the spot, at the end of the day.”

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Nancy Mace
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo caught Rep. Nancy Mace out of the corner of his eye as she was about to slide onto the floor of the US House of Representatives, and it turns out, she’d been looking for us — the Ask a Pol family! — too.
Matt Laslo: “Look at this young lady.”
Nancy Mace: “Oh hey, how are you?”
ML: “So you…”
NM: “November 13th.”
ML: “So when is it?”
NM: “November 13th.”
ML: “November 13th?”
NM: “We had to push it back.”
ML: “Why is that?”
NM: “I mean, off the record?”
ML: “Okay, okay.”
Ask a Pol trusts Mace to give us information, so we grant her off-the-record, occasionally.
ICYMI — Public US Senate UAP hearing coming this fall…
ML: “On the record — have you thought about Lou Elizondo? Have you seen his book and looked through it?”
NM: “I have not yet.”
ML: “I guess he was just on Daily Show.”
Former senior intelligence official Lue Elizondo discusses his new book Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs on The Daily Show.
NM: “Okay, I’ll…”
ML: “Take a look at that clip.”
NM: “I’ll take a look at it.”
ML: “What's the goal of the hearing for you?”
