Good to see you, sir.

**Tim Burchett** (0:14)
Thank you for having me, brothers. Big honor.

**Joe Rogan** (0:16)
Thank you. An honor for me, too. Very excited about this. Very excited to talk to you. There's so many different things to discuss. So do you know what is going to be released? So supposedly, this is the week of some kind of disclosure. Can you give us any insight as to what's going on?

**Tim Burchett** (0:33)
Oddly enough, I got a call that tomorrow at 3 o'clock, I'm going to be briefed over the phone by, I think one of Hedgeseth's top dogs is going to go over some stuff with me that they've got. And I have no earthly idea.
I don't want everybody to get their hopes up. I don't have a lot of faith in our government. President Trump's always been great to me. He's never lied to me. But I don't know that he knows the right questions to ask and the right people to talk to because this thing's been covered up at least since 1947 And I just don't think they're going to... They don't give up that easy. The war pimps at the Pentagon and everybody else, they just don't give up that easy.

**Joe Rogan** (1:18)
How did you come to understand all this stuff? What was your understanding of it before you got into government?

**Tim Burchett** (1:25)
I had pretty cool parents.
Right now, they would... Daddy was an old World War II Marine and mama flew an airplane during the Second World War. I mean, they were... They were badasses. And they were good Christian people, but my daddy was a stone cold killer. I mean, he was the real deal. He was on Peleliu and Okinawa in the Marine Corps. And of course, mama's oldest brother, Roy, got killed fighting the Nazis. And mama did her part, just a little country girl, didn't have electricity until she's a senior in high school. So I've kind of lived the American dream. But they would let me, you know, they'd let me get bloodied up and then they would patch me up and let me go, you know, I could ride my bike to the library or the library if you're from East Tennessee.
And it was, you know, about a mile from the house. And they'd go in there and they had these books set up and they had all this stuff on, you know, this wild stuff. And there was a book on UFOs and I just picked it up and started reading it. I probably wasn't, I don't know, seven or eight years old. And I just always followed it. You know, the magazine articles and I'd go out at night and hope to see a UFO. Never did, never have, until some of the briefings I've been in. But and then I'm walking down the street.
And can I mention another new source? Is that okay? I was walking down the street and TMZ was, there was a guy there, this black fellow, his name's Colin. He's a buddy of mine. He doesn't work for them anymore, but he was filming. And he said, hey, Congressman, he said, you want to make a comment on the UFO thing? He couldn't get anybody to comment. I said, well, sure. I said, they're going to issue, tell you they're going to issue your report and it's going to be loaded. And everybody's freaking out. It's going to be the greatest thing.

**Jamie** (3:05)
It's going to be total disclosure.

**Tim Burchett** (3:06)
And then they're going to put something out. It looked like somebody shot it with a dad gum 12 gauge. It's just going to have holes and it's all redacted. And I said, and they're not going to put it out this week. It'll be weeks later. And that's exactly what they did. They had a report. I felt like had some information in that was new to the public.
And they did what they always do. They hit it, covered it up. And then everybody saw that interview. And I said on it, I said-

**Joe Rogan** (3:37)
That's the one where you're talking about bases in the ocean?

**Tim Burchett** (3:39)
No, no, no, no, no, a different one. I said, this is totally different. This is out on the street corner. And then I started getting calls from people literally all over the world. I mean, I've talked to legislators in Russia over this issue. And then people start just stop me on street corners and say, hey, man, really appreciate you going for disclosure. I have doctors tell me this, I have lawyers, engineers. I have military people that have seen things that they can't describe. I've had members of Congress, there's a few bullies in Congress, they'll make fun of me and say smart aleck stuff. But put it out there to your people. It's over 55% of the American population feels like we're not alone. I mean, seriously, you go out there and look at those every night, my dogs, they got to take a leak. They never want to take a leak at like nine o'clock. It's always three o'clock in the morning. I look at those dadgum stars, man, and the light from those stars left there before the time of Christ. And the light from some of those stars, the stars have already combusted. I mean, they're not even there anymore. You know, light years to us is something that's hard to understand. And we are more, we are just, you know, one grain of sand on a billion beaches. And I still don't think we're the best that God can do. I mean, you know, I just can't imagine we're his shining, we're the one they put on the mantle. Oh, look, he made humans. Well, you know, we've kind of screwed things up.
