Who?
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA)
Listen: Laslo & Cassidy
Ask a Pol asks:
Do you have any idea what the mysterious craft were that reportedly surveilled Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force Base?
“Barksdale is home to the Air Force Global Strike Command and the 2nd Bomb Wing, which includes nuclear-armed B-52 bomber squadrons.”
Key Cassidy:
“No, I don’t,” Sen. Bill Cassidy exclusively tells Ask a pol UAP. “I don’t.
Do you feel like the Pentagon has a grasp on what intruded the airspace?
“I don’t know,” Cassidy says. “Let me check on that. I mean, it’s important for me to know. I’ll try and figure that out.”
Caught our ear:
“There’s enough stupid people out there that it could be totally benign — accepting that stupidity is sometimes not benign,” Cassidy tells us. “But you have to fear the worst.”

Laslo: Yeah. What was it? Have you gotten a briefing on that?
Cassidy: No, I have not. And of course, there’s a lot of problem with drones. There’s a federal prison in my state in which drones are flying narcotics into the prison. And so, you know, in that case, we clearly know the intent, it was criminal. And so, you know, that just has to be resolved.
Laslo: Do you know what it was with Barksdale?
Cassidy: No, I don’t. I don’t.
Laslo: Do you feel like the Pentagon does?
Cassidy: I don’t know. Well, let me check on that. I mean, it’s important for me to know. I’ll try and figure that out.
Laslo: Because it’s curious, they’ve had it at different spots — like Langley here had it and in Arizona.
Cassidy: You know, there’s enough stupid people out there that it could be totally benign — but accepting that stupidity is sometimes not benign — but it could be, but you have to fear the worst, right?
Laslo: Yeah?
Cassidy: Yeah. So I’m with you on all that.
Laslo: Interesting. Preciate ya.
