Rep. Tim Burchett

I think I stated that in the committee.

I think part of the thing they do is they outrun the clock.

They outrun the clock.

You know, we either stumble, one of us gets in trouble, or they get us in trouble, or they lose, or they move on to another object, you know, another shiny object somewhere else.

Americans want their pizzas in 30 minutes or less, and that's about Congress's attention span, you know, because we're always on one.

And then it's the hot issue.

And then the news cycle changes two weeks later on to something else.

I don't know.

They say they can imprison us, but I don't, they, you know, that's what we're told at the beginning.

We're not even supposed to discuss.

Some people will tell you, you can't even tell them that you've been in a skiff, but the press is waiting for you as soon as you walk out.

Leadership of the parties.

Oh, yeah, leadership, yeah.

And I've been in a skiff before where they'll say, anything discussed in here, we remind you, is punishable by law and, you know, it's a felony.

But the problem you get in there a lot of times is the arrogance and the lies that are told to us.

They contradict.

I mean, they'll contradict what another department has said.

And they'll say, this didn't happen.

This doesn't exist.

And then another one will say, this is one we don't know, but we can't figure out.
