The Joe Rogan Experience.
- JRJoe Rogan
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night. All day. [upbeat rock music] Good to see you, sir.
- TBTim Burchett
Thank you for having me, brothers. Big honor.
- JRJoe Rogan
Thank you. An honor for me, too. Very excited about this.
- TBTim Burchett
Yes, sir.
- JRJoe Rogan
Very excited to talk to you. [laughs] 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.
- TBTim Burchett
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Can you give us any insight as to what's going on?
- TBTim Burchett
Well, oddly enough, I got a call that, um, that tomorrow at 3:00 I'm gonna be briefed over the phone by, um, I think one of Hegseth's top dogs is gonna go over some stuff with me that they've got and, and I have no earthly idea. I, I don't want everybody to get their hopes up. I don't have a lot of faith in, in our government. President Trump's always been great to me. He's never lied to me, but I, I don't know that he knows the right questions to ask and the right people to talk to because I mean, this thing's been covered up at least since 1947, and I just don't think they're gonna... They, they don't give up that easy. The war pimps at the Pentagon and everybody else, they just don't give up that easy.
- JRJoe Rogan
How w- how did you come to understand all this stuff? Like, what was your understanding of it before you got into government?
- TBTim Burchett
I had pretty cool parents. Um-
- JRJoe Rogan
[laughs]
- TBTim Burchett
Right. Now, they would, uh... Daddy was an old World War II Marine, and Mama flew an airplane during the Second World War. I mean, they were-
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, wow
- TBTim Burchett
... they were badasses. They're-- 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 till she was a senior in high school. So I've kinda 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, I could ride my bike to the library, or the library if you're from East Tennessee, and, uh, 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, the magazine articles, and I'd go out at night and hope to see a UFO. Never did, never have, um, until some of the briefings I've been in. But, um, and then I'm walking down the street and, uh, uh... Can I mention another news source?
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- TBTim Burchett
Is that okay?
- JRJoe Rogan
Sure, yeah.
- TBTim Burchett
I was walking down the street, and TMZ was... There was a guy there, um, this Black fella. 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 wanna make a comment on the UFO thing? You couldn't get anybody to comment." And I said, "Why, sure." I said, "They're gonna issue a r- tell you they're gonna issue y- your report, and it's gonna be loaded, and everybody's freaking out. It's gonna be the greatest thing. It's gonna be total disclosure. And then they're gonna put something out. It'll look like somebody shot it with a dadgum 12-gauge. It's just gonna have holes in it. It's all redacted." And I said, "And they're not gonna 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, um, and they, um, did what they always do. They hid it, covered it up. And then, uh, f- e- everybody saw that interview, and I said on that, I said, um, "Well-
- JRJoe Rogan
That's the one where you were talking about bases in the ocean?
- TBTim Burchett
No, no, no, no, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
A different one?
- TBTim Burchett
A different one. That's a... This is totally different. This is just out on the street corner. And then I started getting calls from people literally all over the world. I mean, I've, I've talked to legislators in Russia over this issue. And then people, um, 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. You know, 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 f- 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 gotta take a leak. They never wanna take a leak at, like, 9:00. It's always 3:00 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. Uh, you know, light-years to us is, 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, uh... You know, we're, we're, we're the one they put on the mantle. "Oh, look. He made humans." Well, you know, we've kinda screwed things up. So I, I, you know, and I, um, and I read my Bible, and a lot of the Christian folks knock me. They talk about it's demons, and I say, "Well, I'm good with Jesus. I'm not worrying about demons. I'm not gonna worry about that." I don't think they're demons. I don't... Why would they... They don't have to fly around in some craft to, to-
- JRJoe Rogan
Right
- TBTim Burchett
... you know? [laughs] It's just, to me, it's, it's hard to imagine. But the, um, the underwater thing was, I was, I was getting briefed by an out... It was a former admiral came into my office. And Joe, it was, um, it was a very friendly conversation, and I'm always a little couched because... or a little... I hold back a little bit because I think there's a psyop going on with some of these departments. I was, uh, briefed by one of our alphabet agencies not long ago, and the final thing was somebody said, "Well, w- why don't we got more information?" He says, "We just don't have the funding for that, Congressman." And, you know, it's, uh... And I know they're reading the polling data, and they're saying, you know, "Well, let's shake loose the money tree for us," and that's, that's part of it, too, and I warn people about that. But, um-I guess in a nutshell, that's pretty much it.
- JRJoe Rogan
So when you first got in... How long have you been in government for?
- TBTim Burchett
Oh, well, eight years in, in, um, Congress. I was in our state legislature in Tennessee 16 years, and then I was county mayor for eight years.
- JRJoe Rogan
So was it when you got into Congress that you first started getting inside information about what's going on?
- TBTim Burchett
Yeah. Yeah.
