Tim Burchett full interview before congressional hearing on UFOs

roll in here um all right Mr virgin it's been a conversation I know you've been talking about quite lately I just want to first off kind of tell me how this interest started with you well at a very young age you know my parents encouraged me to read a lot and um you know I guess nowadays you let your kid ride his bicycle over a mile away from the house to the library they're probably arrest you but back then it was pretty cool growing up in West Hills we drive right across Kingston Pike to a little public library and they had on the on the um the table it was just set up a bunch of books and there was some all this wild stuff and there was something on UFOs and I picked one up just started reading about it you know we've had a history of them in this country since well 1947 was was an incident that happened in Roswell New Mexico the uh Military Intelligence issued a press release that said we've recovered a saucer and then the next day they came out and said No in fact it was a hot air balloon and you know Military Intelligence is a whole lot like Congressional ethics it really doesn't exist but to think that they made that big of a blunder is suspect to me why wouldn't they just say oh it was a you know erect airplane ran into a tractor you know some drunk farmer found it or something and made this claim you know it's just and there's just been time and time again now we have now we have Navy Pilots the best in the world that are coming forward and saying they in fact we've had about uh we've had 14 I believe documented near Miss incidents in the air these are the best trained pilots in the world the best in the world riding around in a 50 million dollar aircraft and um and now they're bringing them fourth footage these Tic Tac videos not Tick Tock like the chat like the Chinese Communist propaganda it's invading all of our phones but it's Tic-Tac like the candy and uh these Pilots are literally following these these crowd and they go underwater and they come out and they're not they have no heat trail you got to ask yourself why would they lie about it they are when they when they make these reports they brought out they're brought off the flight line and they're made to they say they're debrief but they're really interrogated for eight hours I've literally had Pilots tell me in a setting where that they've destroyed the video because they don't want to be interrogated they don't want to lose their spot on the line and it's it's not going to go anywhere anyway and uh and they don't want to blemish on their record and we've just seen this time and time again and we have and these are decorated veterans you know it doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot up here in Washington but back in Tennessee it means a lot that a decorated veteran comes forth and why would they want to wreck their career look all I want is transparency I think that's what you all in the media are always after transparency let's get to the bottom of it quit sending us these redacted um redacted files let the American people see what they show us in private and it's time to get this out in the open and we're going to have professionals it's going to be a real hearing we're not going to bring in a flying saucer a little green man talking about getting probed by somebody this is going to be the real deal and now you're seeing the Pentagon seeing that America the American public is showing some interest in over half the American public believes in something else out there and now the Pentagon is is is looking for money and they'll they'll ask for a few billion dollars to study it and I we don't need to give them any more money they lose over a billion dollars a year In Their audience they have not passed an audit in the history of auditing the Pentagon you can't name me another institution up here that loses literally loses over a billion dollars Department of Defense sixty percent of their assets are unaccounted for they if that was a business or they'd be in jail and they should be and so I just want the files turn loose of the files the unredacted files the photographs the film let the American public see it let them see some of the things that I've seen in private and let them make up their own mind you were quoted I think talking to maybe one of the networks I think it was a week or so ago saying something to the effect of you have seen video that I think is classified at this point that you said I believe correct me from wrong that the American public is not ready to see it or yeah I was being facetious the American that's what they think the American that's their arrogance that the American public is not ready to see this stuff but I think the American Tim Merchant thinks that government the American public needs to see this stuff and they need to see more of it this should open the floodgates and I believe it will I know you're very good at speaking candidly and I'm curious if you do so here what are we talking about in terms of what we're seeing what you have seen with your own two eyes in terms of being a part of these these groups and in there in DC what kind of footage are you seeing with your own eyes that you think more people need to see it's funny I've seen some things pretty incredible I've had people literally come to my house that are afraid of retaliation uh to show me things um but it's what I haven't seen you know I went down to Florida I was supposed to be briefed um representative Lona and and representing gates are both from Florida you're supposed to be brief down there at the base in a skiff a secure thing you gotta you gotta take your cell phones off you gotta um you can't take a Fitbit I don't wear a Fitbit it can't take any electronic devices in for fear of recording or whatever or some sort of sabotage it's like it's exactly like when you go see the president of the United States you you put everything and lock it in a locker and um and you keep the key and we were told we were gonna all this stuff we were going to see and we're going to talk to these Pilots well we get down there in this meeting and we look at the synopsis of the meeting and there's nothing over what they said they were we you know and here I am flying down there um I take two days out of my my life I don't have much time off from up here and um and they're playing this stupid game with us the general is you know and they tell us that we don't have we don't have the clearance to see that brother we've got the highest clearances there are you know if if it's out there I'm supposed to pretty much be able to see it and um and we were supposed we were told we were going to talk to Pilots we're going to see footage we're going to see all this stuff well the pilots come in I mean they turn us away the general sends us up to his his office and we start we call D.C and we make sure that the the top brass understands what the heck's going on they bring us a nice group Trey and we um it's funny because they had microphones under the table I mean this is really Bush League and uh we unplugged their microphones for them and then uh they brought us this fruit tray and then we go um then we made a few phone calls and lo and behold and they said we want you back down there in the general he's got to leave he's got to go somewhere and so you've got they bring in these pilots and there's three or four of them I can't remember now but and you had Secret Service in the room and others and the Secret Service was getting very nervous and the pilots would explain they were they the pilots described Kraft if they've tailed and seen that did not match anything of any of our enemies or Allies in the entire world now we've we've got footage of them doing things that divide all the laws of physics and um and so I at some point they're going to have to come forth with some of this stuff you know you had Pilots tell me that the some of these Pilots have told me how they destroy they destroy the footage because when they come back to base you know they're interrogated eight hours and uh and so it's just a you know it's a cat and mouse game and you've got a really compartmentalized government that has passed some of this information on the business and a lot of and you know here we are trying to have these hearings in NASA we've called NASA in and guess what this week they backed out we had a witness tell us they couldn't come because they were getting pressured from the Pentagon now either they exist or they don't exist I put an amendment in on the FAA reauthorization that said that if um that if a commercial pilot comes across something that they can't identify in the air they they are supposed to report and the footage and the it's supposed to be reported to Congress the intelligence committee blocked that bill when we were told the intelligence community and I'm not you know it's industrial War complexities War pimps that we have up here in Washington they want to control everything and anything it has to do with the dollar and so we're just going to keep pushing let me ask you this from the videos that you have seen from the stories you have heard from people up in the sky if those if that footage if what people were telling you if those videos come to light publicly for the American people to see what do you think people's reaction would be to it I hope they're angry at The American or that the that this government it's both parties and I hope they're angry that they hid this from them because you gotta imagine if there's an energy source that these things are traveling and in the Spades that they are achieving and they're not showing a heath source so you gotta imagine if there's some sort of energy source that they could they could do this out in in you know if Society had a hold of imagine we wouldn't be having all these wars in the Middle East because guess what we wouldn't need the oil we wouldn't need all this you know these government programs wouldn't need all these people these jobs that that are they're creating we wouldn't be destroying the environment to dig up stuff um you know we could we could power the world it's Tesla's dream you know it and so I would hope that um you know at some point we get we get to that point where we um we trust the American public because that's really it's about trust it's about corruption it's about greed and all those things are really what runs this this um um this government yeah they don't trust us we don't trust them for good reason and um you know the corruption of controlling this stuff is is beyond belief I know you said you've been frustrated with what you haven't seen if you could be candidates what have you seen that maybe we have not I I don't know how much detail you're able to yeah I just say that I've seen some things that divide and say they were explained to me I was asking them how you know that our crap our our Pilots couldn't keep up with um I'll just leave it at that that they there's things that that I've seen that if it was an American if it was a pilot inside of that they would be dead they couldn't withstand the G's and they couldn't withstand the pressure and um and the ability to make those turns and without a heat signature to me is just that's beyond belief you think people would be surprised to see videos that you've seen to hear stories that you I think they would brother I really do I think they would but there's going to be more and more of that leaking out and uh you know this AI question a lot of it now so uh so I that's why I want to get these these literally war heroes in here to talk and to tell their side of the story because I believe the spoken word is going to be a lot is going to be a lot more valuable than than some um cheap video and somebody films with a cell phone which by the way at the um with all the footage we have the people that were briefing the intelligence committee from the Pentagon they couldn't even spell UFO they were a joke they showed a footage of a to me it was one of those metallic type hot air balloons that somebody let go and they were you know they filmed it with a cell phone and they couldn't even stop a 20-second video and you know we're like a bunch of seals out there just or you know and Pavlov's dog and um and they're all okay they just took their word for it they didn't show and we had one of the one of the pilots who was involved in one of the well-documented chases in the audience but was not allowed it wasn't even supposed to be in there and he had to get he got somebody gave him their press credentials to get in and he wasn't even allowed to testify and it was a meeting that was open to the public and I was told I was going to get to ask a question how about the United States Congressman for goodness sakes and uh eased on over to the podium about time to ask a question and I got a text and said Merchant you can't ask any questions I mean it was all staged and the taxpayers got hoes once again let me ask you this and I don't want to keep you much longer and thank you for the time again from your best perspective and I know you've hinted at it a couple times through this conversation but why is it you think that there is footage there are you know first-hand accounts that we don't know about why do you think this is not being publicly shared yeah it comes the arrogance and and if it's been reversed engineering engineered then why are they not releasing that to the general public to make our lives better and I submit to you go back to the greed issue um in control and arrogance again the Kennedy assassinations over 50 years ago yet the presidents of the United States repeatedly have refused to release those files nobody's even alive that's in those in those files the ones I've seen you know so redacted just a big old piece of Swiss cheese is what it looks like Congressman I'll end with this question just to make sure we're on the same page and we're not mincing any words um from what you've seen oh sorry dude somehow I got muted go ahead I saw you put the finger up and I couldn't hear you and I was like yeah it wasn't a middle finger it was the pointing finger for the record there could be worse um with this question thank you for the time again but um just to be clear are you saying what you have seen do you think it's something you know International technology we haven't seen or do you believe that you have seen videos of extraterrestrial life forms in UFOs I'm a hundred percent convinced that it's not are any of our allies or any of our enemies aircraft that it did not come from this world either it's from our Skunk Works which means it was something they recovered and they reversed engineered or it is something extraterrestrial I'm convinced there's no other explanation because if it's the Russians they wouldn't be battling in Ukraine China they would control us gotcha did I miss I know this is a topic near and dear to your heart right now is there anything else it's not really near and dear to my heart it just I didn't create it I mean I didn't ask for it it kind of just fell in my lap and they and then the chairman said well merchants we're putting Merchant in charge of that you know because he'd heard me talk about it so um and he's a buddy of mine and the speakers kind to me and and honestly they've confided in me they'd like to get to the bottom of it as well sure do you think we'll ever see it videos like that do you think there's a timeline that you could feel comfortable I think I think what's going to happen is somebody's gonna leak something out and I hope that they get it to you all and it gets out quick because you know here I am the 435th most powerful member of Congress and I'm trying to have a hearing and people are telling me they can't testify because they're receiving pressure from the Pentagon in the intelligence Community kills my amendments so I think they I think we're over the Target and they know it and I'm afraid they're just trying to hold the flood back right now they want to control this thing and if what I think is getting ready to happen happens and I don't you know disappear or something crazy just kidding um now but if um I I think my sources they tell me people are wanting to come forward and this could really start open the floodgates Congressman that's I'm questioned out unless you got anything else to add I'll let you rap at that no I just just don't make me look like a complete idiot there's a lot of people a lot of educated people that that really are look have contacted me that I think something's going on so thank you thank you for asking real good questions brother they've been excellent actually so out of anybody that I've had you've been you've been at the top so thank you I appreciate that you work
