Who?
Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) — Majority Leader, US House of Representatives
LISTEN: Laslo & Scalise
ICYMI — “whole conversation changed” from SCIF brief
Ask a Pol asks:
Rep. Eric Burlison says you had a classified UAP briefing recently — was it eye-opening?
Key Scalise:
“We had a classified briefing that some of us went to,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “Obviously, you can’t talk about what was discussed at the briefing.”
Was it eye-opening?
“Well, you know, whenever you go to a briefing like that, there’s some things you see that are eye-opening,” Scalise says. “And that’s about as far as I’ll go.”
Caught our ear:
Was the information you learned in the classified SCIF briefing unsettling?
“Well, no,” Scalise tells us. “I’m just going to leave it at that.”
What should we ask Congress next?

Rep. Steve Scalise: “Hey!”
Matt Laslo: “Hey, how are you, sir?”
Scalise: “Good.”
Laslo: “Hey, what’s this we hear from Congressman Burlison that you were in a UFO / UAP briefing — that you had asked to be in?”
