TRANSCRIPT: Rep. James Comer (6-25-2026)

SCENE: *After a vote on the House floor, Ask a Pol founder Matt Laslo catches House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer as he’s heading back to his office across the street from the Capitol.*

Matt Laslo: “Have you caught any of these Pentagon releases on UFO files / UAP?”

James Comer: “I do, I read whatever’s written, but like I said before, \[Chair Anna Paulina\] Luna and \[Tim\] Burchett and \[Eric\] Burlison are the ones that represent the \[Oversight\] Committee on all that.”

Laslo: “Do you think — so there’s no plan for another hearing?”

Comer: “You know, I would like to have another hearing. I need to talk to them about it. It’s hard to plan hearings when you don’t know when we’re going to be here and when we’re not, you know?”

Laslo: “Yeah.”

Comer: “But I would like to have another — what I call UFO, you all call something else — hearing.”

Laslo: “Yeah?”

Comer: “Yeah, I think that would be popular.”
