Who?
Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) — Chair, Oversight National Security Subcommittee*
*Grothman chaired the Oversight Committee’s public UAP hearing with UFO whistleblower David Grusch in 2023
ICYMI — Grothman has called for a Select UAP Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Grothman
Ask a Pol asks:
What’s your takeaway from the public Nov. 13 UAP hearing in the House?
Key Grothman:
“Well, I guess we're going to have to do some more work because they didn't tell us enough information,” Rep. Glenn Grothman exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “Well, I guess we'll have to threaten them* with legislation.”
*Grothman means the executive branch, not the witnesses.
LAST DAY: UFO hearing SPECIAL!
Caught our ear:
“We're building a case, but they obviously don't like to tell us what's going on. That's what really annoys me,” Grothman tells us.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Glenn Grothman
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo has been keeping his distance as Rep. Glenn Grothman answered another reporter’s questions. Once they’re done, Laslo has to cut across some grass on the US Capitol grounds to catch up with the congressman.
Matt Laslo: “I was giving you space.”
Glenn Grothman: “Hey.”
ML: “I was giving you space. Old school reporter. I let other reporters have ya. I don't team up.”
Car honks.
ML: “What are your thoughts on the UAP hearing went last week?”
GG: “Well, I guess we're going to have to do some more work because they didn't tell us enough information.”
SUBSCRIBER-ONLY CONTENT*
*Student? Lost your gig? Hard times? Been there. Got you. No questions asked. Just ping us.
ML: “Yeah? Now that you guys have carried on this investigation, how do you think you dislodge some of that information?”
GG: “Well, I guess we'll have to threaten them with legislation.”
ML: “Yeah? It seems like that’s next?”
Long pause.
ML: “Do you — did anyone in the incoming Trump administration reach out after it?”
GG: “No, no. We’re still waiting for our contact, so we'll talk to the Trump people about a lot of things.”
ML: “Yeah? Do you think you guys are successfully building a case — between them and Grusch’s testimony last summer?”
GG: “Well, I mean, we're building a case, but they obviously don't like to tell us what's going on. That's what really annoys me.”
Every bit helps! Consider chipping in to support our independent journalism — Venmo, PayPal, Cash App — or just buy us a beer!
ML: “You wish they were more open?”
GG: “I mean, when you talk about things that are over 20 years old, come on.”
ML: “Yeah? Could you guys change a whistleblower law, because it seems like a lot of them are afraid to speak about...”
GG: “I'm not sure that's the problem. The problem’s just…”
Grothman trails off mid sentence.
ML: “But in the new year, this issue's not going away?”
GG: “No. I don't think the public will let it go away.”
ML: “I'll be watching, sir. Preciate ya.”
