I absolutely love Tim's blunt, and humorless sarcasm. It didn't go unnoticed sir, bravo.

[josephbeaton]

The truth is out there, but we won’t hear about it here.

Bob Lazar was correct all this time = Area 51 housed Alien technology for the USM

Excellent conversation by Mr.Tim Burchett.🛸👍

Nothing should be hidden from voters! No secrets!

[bronzeriver]

These federal bureaucrats should be accountable to the people. They should not be allowed to be a law unto themselves.

[digittbr]

These hearings really aren't accomplishing all that much. Why question anyone that is not allowed to say anything. What a waste of time.

I have an idea. Why not have the whole thing in closed sessions. That way, we can get somewhere. Give us a redacted version. .

According to 10 USC section 119 the secdef has the authority to waive congressional reporting requirements for certain programs.

It's "You can't handle the truth!" all over again. Can't wait for Trump.

*Elizondo:* I want disclosure, i want the public to know! I am risking everything!
*Also Elizondo when asked a question:* Sorry i cannot disclose that information.

They are not a threat to the military. I use to live in oak ridge and was responsible for getting them to show themselves. Once I signaled a craft that I contacted and was being chased by 2 fighter jets. The following day 20 tree trimming companies shown up and wiped all the trees off my property. Need video proof?

The biggest revelation for decades -- and yet, every second command here is "waste of taxpayer money" or "those are spokespersons, not whistleblowers" or "nothingburger".

[doricoldwell]

When are you ( as a bipartisan committee) doing a closed session????

[effortless]

1:47 Burchett going straight for the jugular, straight to the point with this 😂 i wish it couldve been answered publically though

FEMA didn't help Hanksville Utah in 2021 because it didn't reach a 'Threshold ' of 4.2 million in damages...under 6 feet of water this small town had to recover without taxpayer funded FEMA help. So only big cities ? Equity

2:15 Elizondo sure knows a lot about individuals "providing misleading and false information to the public", almost like he's been trained in it himself, most likely by the Pentagon.
