Who?
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) — Co-chair, Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Committee
LISTEN: Laslo & Burchett
PSA: We’re depressed, fam…
The nation’s TV networks are warring with our founder, Matt Laslo and his wire service, The LCB, which is where Ask a Pol’s gets its access to the Capitol.
It’s cost us and our sister outlets tens of thousands of dollars.
We need ya.
Ask a Pol UAP asks:
Since the Pentagon started releasing the ‘UFO files,’ have other members of Congress been talking to you more about it? Like, has it made it a little more mainstream?
Key Burchett:
“Yeah. Oh, absolutely,” Rep. Tim Burchett exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP.
”Thanks to y’all, people like yourself, it’s been great.”
What’s next? Another hearing?
“We’ve had enough hearings. We just need disclosure,” Burchett says.
How much are you talking to the White House?
“Every day, pretty much here this week,” Burchett says.
But disclosure advocates in the administration are feeling stymied?
“Yeah,” Burchett says. “And it is the ‘deep state.’ I think they realize what we’ve encountered.”
If you can chip anything in, it’d mean the world to us.

Caught our ear:
Why not finally do a hearing on the underwater stuff?
“You got one guy that’ll come in and talk about it,” Burchett tells us. “We need more than that.”
Let us know what to ask Congress next!

TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Tim Burchett (5-21-26)
SCENE: After casting his last vote ahead of Congress’s Memorial Day recess, Ask a Pol’s Matt Laslo walks with UAP Caucus Co-Chair Tim Burchett as he heads back to his office across the street from the Capitol.
Matt Laslo: “Have other members been talking to you about it? Like, has this made it a little more mainstream?”
Rep. Tim Burchett: “Yeah. Oh, absolutely. Thanks to y’all, people like yourself, it’s been great.”
Laslo: “Now, what’s next? Do you guys know what you want for a hearing next?”
Burchett: “We’ve had enough hearings. We just need disclosure.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “We need disclosure.”
Laslo: “How much are you talking to the White House?”
Burchett: “Do what?”
ICYMI — we made a list for ya…
Laslo: “How much are you talking to the White House or agencies on this?”
Burchett: “Every day, pretty much here this week.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “You know.”
Laslo: “But they’re feeling stymied?”
Burchett: “Yeah.”
Laslo: “People that want to get it out?”
Burchett: “And it is the ‘deep state.’ I think they realize what we’ve encountered.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “And it is so deep. Like, I told the President, it’s like layers of the onion.”
Laslo: “Why not finally do a hearing on the underwater stuff?”
Burchett: “You got one guy that’ll come in and talk about it, we need more than that.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “We’re getting diminishing returns on those hearings. I think what we did with the hearing, the first one, was we lit the fuse.”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “People said, ‘wow, there is something going on. These are legitimate people. These are heroes.’”
Laslo: “Yeah?”
Burchett: “These aren’t like some Tim Burchett’s of the world that just pull something out of the hat. They are the real deal.”
