Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) — Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Burlison
Ask a Pol asks:
If you all get a Select UAP Committee in this new Congress, are you still interested in hiring UFO whistleblower David Grusch as a part of its staff?
Key Burlison:
“Oh, yeah. Absolutely,” Rep. Eric Burlison exclusively tells Ask a Pol. “If I had any say in it, I would try to get them to hire Grusch and [Lue] Elizondo.”

Caught our ear:
What are the chances of you all getting a Select Committee?
“I don't know. I'm asking [Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer. I've asked the Speaker [Mike Johnson] before,” Burlison tells us. “I would love it if Tim Burchett could chair it. Anybody from the UAP Caucus would be great.”
Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), slightly edited for clarity.
TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Eric Burlison
SCENE: On the first day of the new, 119th Congress, Rep. Eric Burlison’s walking with his wife and children in the underground tunnel to the US Capitol when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo asks for his UAP outlook this new year.
Matt Laslo (OFF MIC*): Where do you want the UAP investigation to go in this new Congress?
*Laslo’s mic was slow booting up…
Eric Burlison: “Again, all the things before: I want to get a special Select Subcommittee on it. I want to get established, get it staffed up, get it need to know.”
Burlison and his family are traversing a crowded tunnel, because the first day of Congress is packed with member’s families and friends.

ML: “Yeah? So that would happen?”
EB: “Yeah, I would. I would try to — if I had any say in it — I would try to get them to hire Grusch and Elizondo.”
ML: “Really?”
EB: “A-huh.”
ML: “And just go after it?”
EB: “That's right.”

EB: “Yeah.”
ML: “So you think that would be a game changer?”
EB: “Yeah.”
ML: “Now, what are the chances of you all getting a Select Committee?”
EB: “I don't know. I'm asking [Oversight Committee Chair James] Comer. I've asked the Speaker before. I would love it if Tim Burchett could chair it. Anybody from the UAP Caucus would be great.”
ML: “Yeah?”
Burlison and his family have now entered the Capitol’s basement where the hall narrows.
EB: “Hello.”
The congressman greets a colleague.
ML: “And isn’t now the time be asking Speaker Johnson for…”
Burlison was on his way to the House floor for the speaker vote, which, as you’ve likely heard, Speaker Mike Johnson won.
EB: “That's true.”
ML: “….your wishlist?”
EB: “That's true.”
ML: “Yeah?”
EB: “Alright.”
Burlison heads into the elevator and holds it for his family.
ML: “I’ll be watchin’.”
Laslo speaks to Burlison’s family.
ML: “Good to meet you all.”
Burlison’s wife: “Bye. Have a good day.”
ML: “I enjoy talking to your husband.”
