Rep. Eric Burlison: Schumer's UAPDA blocked by staff, not a US Senator


Listen Later

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?”

What would you ask Congress next?

Let us know and we’re on it.
