Is there any comparison between Don Quixote and our understanding of Rep Burleson?

Because I don't know the story.

Well, there's a phrase about Don Quixote tilting at windmills, you know, which is he's fighting a windmill, an impossible task, something he cannot possibly win.

And that may be true for Representative Burleson and Representative Luna, Burchett and the others in both houses of Congress who are trying to chase this down, because as you and I have said many times on this program,

The keepers of the secrets are really good at their job.

They can not only hide stuff for a long time from the public, but also from members of Congress.

And Representative Burleson is digging in his heels.

He's doing the heavy lifting.

And here's our conversations with him.

Representative Burleson, thanks for joining us.

We don't have much time, so let's jump right to it.

You recently took a field trip to Pax River.

Can you tell us what your expectations were going in, and then can you describe the trip and what you saw?

Well, what were your expectations going into the undisclosed location?

Because, you know, they know you're coming.

If there is something there to hide, it's hidden from you, I would think.

Right.

So the world has reported that you went to Pax River.

You didn't say that, but the world has already reported that.

That was their guess.
