Rep. André Carson (D-IN) — Member, House Intelligence Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Carson
Ask a Pol asks:
You had some interesting comments about USO — Unidentified Submerged Objects — in the new Age of Disclosure documentary. What do you know about the underwater stuff?
Key Carson:
“There are a lot of theories out there that have yet to be explored, you know?” Rep. André Carson exclusively told Ask a Pol UAP.
Yeah, but you’re, like, versed on ‘em.
“No,” Carson said. “I’m just curious and inquisitive…”
THROWBACK: The time Rep. Burchett waxed oceanic…
Caught our ear — film critic Carson takes the mic…
“I thought it was a phenomenal piece,” Carson told us of Age of Disclosure. “I think my favorite part was dealing with the bubbles surrounding the aircraft. Remember that part? Oh man — which prevents radar detection — yeah, that was the most fascinating part for me.”
Are you guys looking into that or anything?
“Stay tuned, my brother,” Carson told Ask a Pol founder Matt Laslo. “Yeah, stay tuned. Stay tuned, my brother.”

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. André Carson (1-22-2026)
SCENE: Rep. André Carson is walking through the Capitol, making his way to the House floor to vote when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo asks the Congressman about his USO — comments in new Age of Disclosure UFO documentary.
ICYMI — Age of Disclosure
Matt Laslo: “I just rewatched that documentary, Age of Disclosure, and you got some interesting comments in there about the underwater stuff.”
Rep. André Carson: “Huh.”
Laslo: “What do you know about the underwater stuff?”
Carson: “There are a lot of theories out there that have yet to be explored, you know?”
Laslo: “Yeah, but you’re, like, versed on ‘em.”
Carson: “No, I’m just curious and inquisitive…”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Carson: “…like everyone else, you know?”
Laslo: “What do you — have you watched that documentary?”
Carson: “Oh, yes. Yeah.”
Laslo: “What do you make of it?”
Carson: “I thought it was a phenomenal piece.”
Laslo distracts Carson as they traverse the Capitol’s confusing corridors.
Aide: “You’re going this way, though.”
Carson: “I think my favorite part was dealing with the bubbles surrounding the aircraft.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Carson: “Remember that part?”

Or just buy the team a beer…?
Laslo: “Yeah, yeah.”
Carson: “Oh man — which prevents radar detection — yeah, that was the most fascinating part for me.”
Laslo: “Are you guys looking into that or anything?”
Carson: “Stay tuned, my brother.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Carson: “Yeah, stay tuned. Stay tuned, my brother.”
Laslo: “It’s umm…”
Carson: “What are you hearing?”
Laslo: “Not much.”
Carson: “Yeah?”
Laslo: “Not in this Congress.”
Carson: “Okay. Yeah?”
Laslo: “Well, even like this year’s NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act], nothing directly with UAP, but to deal with the [AFB] Langley stuff — that stuff’s “UAS” now.”
ICYMI — “UAS” & “drone” = “UFO” in 119th Congress*
*according to Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Tim Kaine & others…
Elevator door opens: “Basement, going up.”
Carson: “Absolutely. Well, hopefully next…”
Laslo: “So you, like, renamed it?”
Laslo laughs, if depressedly.
Carson: “…next Congress we’ll be able to explore the multiverse and microverse.”
An older member of Congress quietly walks up behind Laslo — and his talkative hands… — to join Carson on the elevator.
Carson: “Watch out.”
Laslo scoots aside.
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Carson starts boarding the elevator.
Carson: “Yes, sir.”
Laslo: “That’s if you’re [House Intel] Chair.”*
*Carson’s 2nd most senior Democrat on HPSCI, right behind Jim Himes.
Carson: “Man, listen.”
Carson smirks, stops at the elevator threshold and turns to Laslo.
Carson: “They don’t want me here, brother.”
Laslo laughs.
Laslo: “It’s coming. It’s coming.”*
*From his then-perch as Chair of the House Intelligence Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation Subcommittee, Carson chaired HPSCI’s UAP hearing in 2022 — the first public UFO hearing in 50 years — and he’s told Ask a Pol UAP, he’d want the top Democratic slot if there’s ever a Select UAP Committee…
What should we ask Congress next?
