Ask a Pol asks:

Key Burchett:
“They’re just going to delay, delay, delay until they can get everything covered up,” Rep. Tim Burchett exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP. “It’s just got to come from the top. The President’s just got to say do it. They’ve had 28 days now for them to cover everything up.”
Progress: Thanks to all our new supporters!
Caught our ear:
Now the Pentagon says they’re working with AARO on disclosure — what do you make of that?
“I don’t trust them as far as I can throw that dome off the Capitol,” Burchett tells us.

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Tim Burchett (4-15-2026)
SCENE: Rep. Tim Burchett is making his way to the US Capitol when Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo catches the Tennessee Republican before the rest of the press corps does.
Rep. Tim Burchett: “Yo.”
Matt Laslo: “What do you make of the Pentagon breezing through your guys’ April 14th deadline?”
Burchett: “See, that’s par for the course, dude. They’re just going to delay, delay, delay until they can get everything covered up.”
Burchett: “I just don’t have much faith. It’s just got to come from the top. The president’s just got to say do it. Heck, in that 28 days right now for them to cover everything up, it’s got to happen right then.”
Laslo: “Well, now they see they’re working with AARO. What do you make of that?”
Burchett: “I don’t trust them as far as I can throw that dome off the Capitol.”
Reporter: “Hey Tim…”*
*why the f*ck would any member of the press corps call a lawmaker by their first name? - Prof. Laslo
