Who?
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) — Co-chair, Congressional UAP Caucus
LISTEN: Laslo & Luna
Ask a Pol asks:
With all the attention now on how vulnerable America’s skies are, why not ask for a UAP [unidentified aerial phenomenon] / UAS [unmanned aerial systems] Committee?
Key Luna:
“So that would be a Select Committee from the speaker. We asked for that,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “What I'm more interested in is that you have the AG, the incoming FBI, the Secretary of State who led UAP investigations, Marco Rubio, who I have a feeling, will get confirmed…It’s an era of transparency.”*
*We’ve heard that one before… - Prof. Laslo
Merry tidings of joy, reindeer and all that!

ICYMI — Ongoing discussion of a Select UAP Committee
Drones over military bases:
“I think that you should shoot that shit down,” Luna says. “That's my opinion on that. If I were in charge, I'd give the automatic keep down order.”
Caught our ear:
“I think they’re selective in what they're saying, right?” Luna tells us of the Pentagon’s lack of a response to drone sightings.
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna
SCENE: After casting her last vote of 2024, Luna walked down the Capitol steps where Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo and other congressional reporters were huddling in the brisk 30 degree evening.
After discussing the government funding measure and Speaker Mike Johnson’s future, Laslo got her to weigh in on the drone debate and what her expectations are for disclosure in the new year.
Matt Laslo: “UAPs / the drone issue...”
Anna Paulina Luna: “Oh, I've been saying that I didn't think that it was, I mean, I said that, you know how we've been stonewalled on this? I don't think it's a UAP invasion, okay?”
ML: “Yeah.”
APL: “But I do think that instead of the Pentagon hiding the ball, they should just be transparent.”

*Student? Lost your gig? Hard times? Been there. Got you. No questions asked. Just ping us.
ML: “But should Americans be worried our trillion dollar a year military has no idea what’s flying in our skies?”
APL: “Well, I think they’re selective in what they're saying, right?”
ML: “Fair.”
APL: “So we’ll see what ends up happening. But I will tell you that right now not just in the United States, but you're seeing all different attacks around the world, that drones are defeating some of the most high tech technology, because they are so tiny.”
ML: “Yeah.”
APL: “And ultimately, with the advancement of technology, that we can film, things might be taken out of context, whatever it is, but I will tell you that under no shape or form should you have anything traversing the United States — automatic shoot down.”
ML: “Yeah?”
APL: “You should have nothing flying near military installations.”
ML: “Yeah?”
APL: “That should be shot down. I don't care what it is. Obviously, we also saw, I think, videos of people posting sped up airplanes flying into Laguardia. That was clearly not UAPs. It was ridiculous.”
ML: “But, like, [Sen. Kirsten] Gillibrand, Sen. [Mark] Kelly, [Sen. Tim] Kaine — they've often complaining about stuff over their air bases and the military has no idea what they are.”
APL: “Well, I think that you should shoot that shit down.”
ML: “Yeah?”
APL: “That's my opinion on that. If I were in charge, I'd give the automatic keep down order.”
ML: “And last question, do you feel like this helps, like getting the attention on this? Like, why not do a UAP/UAS Committee?”
APL: “So that would be a select committee from the speaker. We asked for that.”
ML: “Yeah.”
APL: “What I'm more interested in is that you have the AG, the incoming FBI, the Secretary of State who led UAP investigations, Marco Rubio, who I have a feeling, will get confirmed.”
ML: “Yeah, yeah. He’s liked.”
APL: “So I just don't think that — it’s an era of transparency.”
ML: “That we’re about to enter into?”
APL: “Yeah. But again, I mean, you guys are seeing the sausage being made in real time. So it’s kinda cool. Thank you.”
ML: “Preciate ya, ma'am.”
APL: “Merry Christmas.”
ML: “Merry Christmas.”
