TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Tim Burchett
SCENE: After casting his last vote before Congress took 2 weeks off for Easter, Burchett slowly walks across the Capitol grounds — and through a pro-Palestine protest — back to his office across the street.
Matt Laslo: “Were you able to see that Pentagon — or no, the Joint Chiefs of Staff UAP measure that someone FOIA’d?”
Tim Burchett: “Yeah, heard about it. The one that said we’re a bunch of idiots?”
ML: “Well, no, this was Joint Chiefs last May. But basically, the UAP issue is definitely on their radar, is what it seems.”
TB: “You know, I think, honestly, what I think it is, I think they see funding.”
ML: “Yeah? How…”
TB: “That’s what I think. That’s my thought.”
ML: “So is your hunch that this is the military contracting industry that’s kinda doing this?”
The crowd near the Capitol yelling “Palestinian people deserve human rights!”, “Fund UNRWA!” and “Stop genocide!”
ML: “Do you — where do you guys go from here? What’s your big — man, thing is, seems like it’s always a holding pattern, but I guess MTG [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] (R-GA) just filed the motion to vacate.”
TB: “Everybody’s trying to, everybody’s trying to…”
Protesters keep yelling “Fund UNRWA now!” and “Stop genocide!” and Burchett and Laslo can barely hear each other.
ML: “Stop yelling in our ears.”
TB: “Fund what? What is she saying? Fund what?”
ML: “UNWRA…”
TB: “What’s UNWRA?”
ICYMI: UNRWA — the United Nations Relief and Works Administration for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East — was recently defunded by the Biden administration.
ML: “UN — it was the one that had Palestinians — or Hamas, infiltrate it.”
Burchett says hello to a visitor with a pup.
