Who?
Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Member, UAP Caucus & Secrets Task Force
LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
BACKGROUND:
Since whistleblower David Grusch upended Washington in 2023, Ask a Pol’s tirelessly hounded the principals
CONTEXT:
At the end of November, House Armed Services Committee — HASC — Chair Mike Rogers told UAP Caucus member Eric Burlison he’d be fine with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s UAPDA — or UAP Disclosure Act — being included in the final NDAA…
NEW — Ask a Pol asks:
After contacting the principals needed to sign off on the NDAA, did you find out where the opposition is to the UAPDA?
Key Burlison:
“It’s like there’s some — I don’t even know if it’s the members of the Senate side, but the Senate Approps [Appropriations] staff feel like it’s their turf. And they don’t want to,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP.
Ask a Pol lost 10k in 2025…experiment feels over…
…only you can prove accountants everywhere wrong…
Coming Tomorrow:
Ask a Pol EXCLUSIVE with Senate Appropriations Committee Chair on UAPDA…
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison (12-16-2025)
SCENE: Ask a Pol‘s Matt Laslo conducted a longer interview with a rushed Rep. Eric Burlison before a House vote. Laslo then realized he forgot a key follow-up question…
…so Laslo tracked Burlison throughout the vote series. Once it concluded, Laslo rushed to meet the Congressman at the bottom of a marble stairwell…
Matt Laslo: “Hey, Congressman Burlison — I have one other question...”*
*Ask a Pol always has a handful of exclusive interviews banked ahead of each and every holiday recess…merry tidings coming your way…
Laslo: “…do you know — going through the UAPDA at the last minute in the NDAA — did you find out where the opposition is?”*
Rep. Eric Burlison: “It sounded like there’s some — I don’t even know if it’s the members of the Senate side…”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burlison: “But the Senate Approps [Appropriations] staff feel like it’s their turf.”
Laslo: “Interesting.”
Burlison: “And they don’t want to — so we need to have that conversation.”
Laslo: “Huh.”
Burlison: “And I think Senator [Mike] Rounds is going to have to have that conversation.”
ICYMI — Rounds is Senate GOP sponsor of UAPDA
Laslo: “Interesting. So it wasn’t even a member?”
Burlison: “Oh…”
Laslo: “How is that even [possible]?”
Burlison: “I’m not aware of any members.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
