Who?

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) — Oversight Committee; Congressional UAP Caucus

LISTEN: Laslo & Garcia

Ask a Pol asks:

You’re on the House Oversight Committee — know about this fall’s UAP hearing?

Key Garcia: 

“I'm hearing about it,” Rep. Robert Garcia exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “But we've heard nothing official yet.”

November 13th...

“Oh, okay,” Garcia replies upon learning the hearing date from Ask a Pol.

…and I guess [Rep. Nancy] Mace is going to be chairing it.

“I'm aware that there's going to be possibly a hearing and that she was going to chair it,” Garcia says. “But we haven't gotten any details about it yet.”

“I don't know if that matters,” Garcia tells us. “I think we should have another hearing, so whenever that hearing is, it'll be good.”

ML: “November 13th...”

RG: “Oh, okay. We actually have a…”

ML: “…and I guess [Rep. Nancy] Mace is going to be chairing it.”

RG: “So I mean, I'm aware that there's going to be possibly a hearing and that she was going to chair it, but we haven't gotten any details about it yet.”

ML: “Do you think that's good though?”

RG: “Yeah. I mean, great.”

ML: “But, I mean, is it better having it after the election?”
