Who?
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) — Senate Intel & Armed Services Committees
LISTEN: Laslo & Rounds
Ask a Pol asks:
Rep. Eric Burlison tells Ask a Pol UAP he’s looking to revive your UAP Disclosure Act with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. With President Donald Trump now promising unparalleled UFO disclosure, do you think the UAPDA has a better chance of making it into the annual, must-pass NDAA — National Defense Authorization Act — this year?
Key Rounds:
“We’re still working NDAA stuff now,” Sen. Mike Rounds exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “I would like to see some language in it to move this thing along a little bit.”
Curious if you guys now have an ally with the Trump White House?
“I hope we do,” Rounds says.
HELP!!! We’re hurtin since dropping subs to $5 a month.

Caught our ear:
“The issue last time was the House and their concerns,” Rounds tells us. “We’ll have to work with the House to allay the concerns they may have.
“And I have the same concerns that they have. And that is, I don’t want to release anything that’s vital for our national security. I want to have it done correctly, but vetted so that we don’t give out any information that would otherwise endanger any of our classified programs.”
What should we ask Congress next?
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol‘s exclusive interview with Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Sen. Mike Rounds
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo catches Sen. Mike Rounds walking through the US Capitol’s basement alone, so he proceeds to join the Senator as he rides one of the Senate’s underground trams from the Capitol to the Senate Office Buildings across the street.
Matt Laslo: “Look at this young man.”
Sen. Mike Rounds: “Hey, how you doing?”
ML: “Livin’ the dream.”
Rounds laughs.
ML: “Was talking to one of your colleagues in the House — Mr. [Eric] Burlison — and he said, he’s looking to maybe revive your measure with [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer, the UAP Disclosure Act.”
ICYMI — Ask a Pol UAP SCOOP…
MR: “Ahuh.”
ML: “Have you talked with Schumer about it at all?”
MR: “I have not.”
