Who?
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) — House Intelligence Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Carson
Ask a Pol asks:
Do you know Secrets Task Force / UAP Caucus was at the FBI at 2 o'clock today for a UAP briefing?
Key Carson:
“No,” Rep. Andre Carson exclusively told Ask a Pol. “Were any Dems there?”
Just talked to Secrets Ranking Member Robert Garcia (more from him and Moskowitz below) and he couldn’t make it, but I think it was bipartisan — he said they alerted him.
“How do you not have the godfather of UAP hearings on it?” Carson lamented.*
ICYMI — *Carson chaired 2022 House UAP hearing, breaking 50 years of congressional UFO silence
Caught our ear:
“My bestie,” Carson told us of now-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.*
*During Gabbard’s Senate confirmation fight, Carson — the second highest ranking Democrat on HPSCI who previously served alongside Gabbard in the House — was one of the few Democrats to stand up for her, countering arguments that Gabbard posed a security risk to America.
Where all the Dems been?
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) — Ranking Member, Secrets Task Force
During the UAP Caucus’ recent SCIF briefing and then the classified meeting at the FBI headquarters, the top Democrat on the Secrets Task Force, Rep. Robert Garcia, was tied up with committee hearings — including one with FAA officials.
“I’ve been in hearings all morning,” Garcia told Ask a Pol Thursday, May 15, 2025. “I think we just found out about that meeting today…”
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) — Congressional UAP Caucus*
*in this new, 119th Congress Moskowitz had to leave the Oversight Committee after being awarded a coveted spot on the powerful House Judiciary Committee
Where you at the FBI HQ briefing?
“I was not,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz told Ask a Pol Thursday, May 15, 2025. “[Chair Anna Paulina Luna] did invite me. I couldn’t go because I had a meeting with an ambassador.”
So you’re still active on the Congressional UAP Caucus even though you’re no longer on the Oversight Committee?
“Correct,” Moskowitz told us. “But she did invite me.”
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Andre Carson (5-15-2025)

Laslo informs Carson the Secrets Task Force had a special classified UAP briefing at the FBI HQ earlier in the day…
Matt Laslo: “Look at this guy.”
Andre Carson: “You still VICE?”
Laslo sighs and shakes head in disappointment at what’s become of VICE News…
