Key Comer:
“They keep canceling days on us. So we were trying to do that in the third week [of September]... but [GOP leaders] canceled it. So we’ll, we’ll try to pick it back up in November,” Rep. James Comer exclusively toldAsk a Pol UAP. “ I think it’ll be an aggressive lame duck period.”
What was that hearing supposed to be on?
“I don’t know that we ever agreed on a topic,” Comer continued. “I’d like to have another one. I think there’s demand for it. It’s just getting good witnesses in is always a challenge.”

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. James Comer (9-16-2026)
SCENE: Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo spots Oversight Chair James Comer approaching the US Capitol in the middle of one of the last votes for members of the House of Representatives until after the November 3 midterm elections.
So Laslo quietly slides past a large gaggle of TV cameras, producers and on-air “talent” ammassed on the Capitol steps, to snag this exclusive with the powerful Oversight Chair.
Msatt Laslo: Hey!
Comer: Hey.
Laslo: Hey, whatever happened to you guys maybe having a UAP hearing on those scientists?
Comer: Well, they keep canceling days on us. So we were trying to do that in the third week [of September]...
Laslo: Oh, really?
Comer: ...but they canceled it. So we’ll, we’ll try to pick it back up in November.
Laslo: Yeah?
Comer: I think it’ll be an aggressive lame duck period.
Laslo: What was that hearing supposed to be on?
Comer: I don’t know that we ever agreed on a topic.
Laslo: But you guys were aiming for it?
Comer: Yeah. I’d like to have another one. I think there’s demand for it. It’s just getting good witnesses in is always a challenge. So...
Laslo: Well, because you wanted one on those missing scientists?
Comer: On the what now?
Laslo: Those scientists.
Comer: Yeah.
Laslo: Remember that string of scientists?
Comer: Yes. Honestly, you would need to talk to [UAP Caucus Co-chair Tim] Burchett and [Secrets Chair Anna Paulina] Luna.
Laslo: Yeah, yeah.
Comer: And [Rep. Eric] Burlison, really. Burlison more than anybody.
Laslo: Yeah. Fair. Fair.
Comer heads into the Capitol to cast his last vote until after the November 3 midterm elections.
Comer: Alright, I gotta vote.
