“Oh?” Rep. Eric Burlison replies.

You haven’t heard of it?

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison

SCENE: After missing each other during a vote series earlier in the frantic last week Congress was in town until after the Nov. 5th election, Burlison sees Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo outside the Capitol ahead of one of their last pre-October recess votes.

Eric Burlison: “I've been doing good. How are you?”

Matt Laslo: “Got my pulse — that’s half the battle.”

EB: “I'm ready to go home for sure.”

ML: “Right? First off — have you ever been to a briefing on the James Webb Space Telescope?”

EB: “No.”

ML: “No? Interesting. What do you make of the hearing you guys are gonna have Nov. 13th?

Burlison looks perplexed.

ML: “UAP Caucus?”

EB: “Oh?”

ML: “Oh, you’ve not heard of it?”

EB: “No.”

ML: “I guess [Rep.] Nancy Mace is gonna chair it this time around…”

EB: “Good.”

ML: “…but she's been working with [Reps.] Burchett and Luna.”

EB: “Okay.”

ML: “Yeah?”

EB: “Well, good. I wonder who's gonna be testifying?”

ML: “They haven't released it publicly yet, but I think they actually know some of the people they've been trying to get.”
