    "It’s a fistfight," Burchett says, "deep state" is hiding full UFO disclosure from President Trump

    Who? Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) — Co-chair, Congressional UAP Caucus; Oversight Ask a Pol asks What’s happening with the UFO files? Key Burchett “Yeah … it is the ‘deep state.’ I think they realize what we’ve encountered.” Can you spare $5 to help a struggling startup out? Ask a Pol’s on Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, etc. Or just buy the team a beer. Caught our ear “We’ve had enough hearings. We just need disclosure.” Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interview with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN), slightly edited for clarity. TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Tim Burchett (7-23-2026) SCENE: After members of the US House of Representatives cast their last votes Thursday — the last votes the chamber is scheduled to take until September! — chaos descended on the Capitol steps. Aides sat idling in cars as many confused lawmakers were heard on their cells trying to figure out where their taxpayer-funded chauffeurs were so they could rush to the closest airport. All the while, the congressional press corps frantically chased lawmakers as they locked in the final interviews they need for their annual August recess features that need to hold as smart, forward-looking pieces despite Congress being MIA. Matt Laslo: How much are you guys talking with Stephen Miller these days? Tim Burchett: Regularly, yeah. He’s running into problems, though. The deep state’s blocking a lot of this stuff that the President’s trying to get to. Laslo: How do you get past that? Burchett: Well, there’s some legislation that moved on some whistleblower stuff that was in one of the bills… ICYMI — The US House passed the “Expanding Whistleblower Protections for Contractors Act” this July Burchett: “…so, I hope maybe that’ll help clear up a lot of it. But it’s a fistfight. It’s been that way since 1947, and we’re not going to do it overnight. Laslo: Does [Miller] now get [President] Trump at the table a little bit more in these [UFO disclosure] talks? Burchett: Oh, he’s in it. He’s in it, but he’s the one that’s being denied. I mean, the deep state is real and it crosses party lines, and it’s crooked as a dog’s leg. What should we ask your US Senator? About Ask a Pol: We give listeners a front row seat to Congress.

Key Kelly: “No. No. No,” Sen. Mark Kelly exclusively told Ask a Pol UAP. “The only compelling thing I’ve ever seen — you can go online and find the 60 Minutes interview with the guy who’s the squadron F-18 squadron commander, and the wingman. That is hard to explain.” Caught our ear: “It’d be good if we had more information,” Kelly told us. Asked whether he thinks it’s adversaries with advanced tech, Kelly said: “No idea.

Mark Kelly: “No. No. No.” Laslo: “Yeah?” Kelly: “But, you know, I’ve been in meetings about this.” Laslo: “Yeah.” Kelly: “The only compelling thing I’ve ever seen — and you can go online and find the 60 Minutes interview with the guy who’s the squadron F-18 squadron commander—” Laslo: “Yeah, yeah.” Kelly: “—and the wingman.

    "They give you a hard time,” AOC complains it's harder to get SCIF briefings since leaving Oversight

    Who? Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — former Member, House Oversight Committee Ask a Pol asks:Have you had time to look at these UFO or UAP files the Pentagon’s been dropping? Key AOC: “I’m not on the committee of jurisdiction. I’ve moved off of Oversight,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exclusively told Ask a Pol UAP. “When you’re not on the committee of jurisdiction, they don’t tell us when these things go out.” “It reminds me when they first released the Epstein files, and they were just like binders with nothing in them,” AOC told Ask a Pol UAP in a separate exchange on June 2, 2026. Caught our ear: “If you try to see these for yourself, they give you a hard time. They’re like, ‘why do you want to see this?’” AOC tells us. Below find a rough transcript of Ask a Pol’s exclusive interviews with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), slightly edited for clarity. TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (6-25-2026) SCENE: Ask a Pol founder Matt Laslo catches Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the Capitol and asks whether she’s had a chance to review the latest Pentagon UAP file releases — only to learn she’s since lost access after leaving the Oversight Committee. Matt Laslo: “Have you had time to look at these UFO or UAP files?” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “I have to. Are they in the SCIF?” Laslo: “No, they’ve just been dropping them.” AOC: “I shouldn’t be asking you this. I shouldn’t know.” Laslo: “Pentagon dropped three different batches of them. Is it less interesting to you now?” AOC: “No, it’s not that. It’s that I’m not on the committee of jurisdiction. I’ve moved off of Oversight. So what also happens is that when you’re not on the committee of jurisdiction, they don’t tell us when these things go out. And if you’re not on the committee of jurisdiction and you try to see them for yourself, they give you a hard time. They’re like, ‘why do you want to see this?’” Laslo: “That’s a decent excuse.” AOC: “Have a good one.” TRANSCRIPT: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (6-2-2026) SCENE: In a shorter exchange weeks earlier, Laslo asks AOC for her take on the substance of the Pentagon’s UAP disclosures — and she draws an unexpected comparison. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “It reminds me when they first released the Epstein files, and they were just like binders with nothing in them.” Matt Laslo: “Right.” What should we ask Congress next?
