Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee spoke to TMZ earlier today and made some amazing comments about the existence of alien life among us, claiming that he and others were recently briefed by a high ranking government official.
The two TMZ hosts who were speaking to Burchett asked him to be specific about whether he was talking about alien tech or alien life forms and he said it is both.
It is ironic that Burchett is talking about this as the world is watching the amazing Artemis II moon mission.
From TMZ:
Rep. Tim Burchett says a member of our government has told him extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet, traveling on an otherworldly craft … and made contact with humans!!!
The Congressman from Tennessee joined us on “TMZ Live” Monday and we asked him about aliens … and he didn’t hold back.
Rep. Burchett says he’s had multiple government and military officials tell him extraterrestrials exist … it sounds out there, but he insists it’s true.
Don’t go running for the hills … Rep. Burchett says there doesn’t appear to be any danger to human life. After all, he says their technology is so advanced and so far beyond our comprehension that these life forms could have wiped us out long ago … and we’re still here.
More from Art Threat:
Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee made stunning revelations about alien contact during a Monday appearance on TMZ Live. The 61-year-old congressman insisted that government officials have confirmed extraterrestrials exist and visited our planet.
According to Burchett, these beings traveled on otherworldly craft and made direct contact with humans. He emphasized that multiple government and military officials have told him this is absolutely true. The congressman seemed deeply serious about the explosive claims.
Burchett warned that releasing secret alien information would devastate public confidence. He claimed America would come unglued if citizens learned what government agencies have discovered. The House Task Force member said he was briefed two weeks ago on extraterrestrial matters that would have been catastrophic if released.
Be sure to watch the whole video below. At one point, Burchett describes being told about an alien craft that can travel at 200 miles per hour underwater. These claims are shocking.

Tim Burchett is not some kind of loon. He is a very serious minded person, which only serves to make these claims more explosive.

President Trump on Monday said that he is actually considering controlling the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz with tolls for shipping once Iran is defeated. 
President Trump plans to launch a massive attack on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and energy if they do not make a deal by tomorrow. During the press conference, Trump threatened that “every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” and “every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding and never to be used again.”
During a press conference on Monday, Trump was asked if he would end the conflict while allowing Iran to continue charging tolls to oil tankers for safe passage through the Strait. But Trump thought the reporter was asking if he would be charging tolls for oil shipping.
“What about us charging tolls?” Trump asked after the reporter clarified he was referring to Iran.
“I’d rather do that than let them have them, right? Why shouldn’t we?” he continued, before declaring, “We’re the winner. We won!” Trump then revealed that the US already has a “concept where we’ll charge tolls.”
“Your question would have been more accurate if you said us,” Trump said.
WATCH:
Reporter: Mr. President, are you allowed to— or are you willing to end this conflict with Iran charging tolls for passage through the Strait?
Trump: Us charging tolls?
Reporter: Iran.
Trump: What about us charging tolls?
Reporter: Is that something you’re considering?
Trump: I’d rather do that than let them have them, right? Why shouldn’t we? We’re the winner. We won! Okay? They are militarily defeated. The only thing they have is the psychology of, oh, we’re going to drop a couple of mines in the water, all right? No, we, I mean, we have a concept where we’ll charge tolls, okay? I thought you meant us. Your question would have been more accurate if you said us.

Reports suggest that Iran has been charging tolls to boats in the Strait after they shut it down and started targeting commercial ships.
Trump’s latest comments come after he recently said in a statement, “With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE.
He added, “IT WOULD BE A ‘GUSHER’ FOR THE WORLD???”

The Chicago Sky traded WNBA player Angel Reese to the Atlanta Dream on Monday following the team’s last-place finish during the 2025 regular season.
In addition to receiving Reese, the Dream got a 2028 second-round draft pick swap, and the Sky acquired Atlanta’s 2027 and 2028 first-round picks, Newsweek reported.
The Sky went 10-34 this past season, resulting in a winning percentage of just .227, tied for dead last with the Dallas Wings.
Reese, 23, will join forces with league star Brittney Griner, 35, when she officially suits up for Atlanta.
Despite the age gap, both players have been embroiled in controversy and garnered negative headlines for various incidents.
Griner was arrested back in 2022 for smuggling cannabis oil in the form of a vaporizer cartridge into Russia during an overseas game with UMMC Ekaterinburg, which took place during the WNBA off-season.
Former President Joe Biden chose to initiate a prisoner swap and gave up Russian felon and notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout, nicknamed “the Merchant of Death,” in exchange for her freedom.
Back in 2024, Griner also accused fans of being racist and claimed they were yelling slurs at players during the game.
“I don’t appreciate the new fans that sit there and yell racial slurs at myself, my teammates, and the people that I play against because, yeah, those might be opponents but those are friends, too,” she said.
Griner’s claim was met with skepticism online, including from some who noted that — in the age of smartphones — such actions would have likely been caught on video and gone viral.
Reese, on the other hand, has been known for an ongoing feud with WNBA star Caitlin Clark, and for showing intense physical aggression toward the Indiana Fever point guard.
She has also been accused of trying to pad her stats by missing simple shots on purpose and getting her own rebounds.

Reese reacted to the news of being traded by posting a message to the social media site X that read, “An Angel’s DREAM ATL WHAT UP?!”

The post also included pictures of Reese in an Atlanta uniform.
“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to join the Atlanta Dream organization,” Reese added, according to ESPN. “I’m focused on continuing to grow my game, competing at the highest level, connecting with the fans, and giving everything I’ve got to the Dream.”

War Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Monday that Iran would face its heaviest round of US strikes ahead of Trump’s deadline for Iran to make a deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face “complete demolition.”
President Trump held a press conference on Monday with Secretary Hegseth, Joint Chiefs Chairman General Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Rattcliffe, following the successful search and rescue operation for the crew of an F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jet that was shot down last week over Iran.
While discussing the mission to rescue two downed Airmen in Iran over the weekend, Hegseth praised God for the successful mission and the Easter miracle, commending the brave heroes’ “faith and fighting spirit.” The pilot who was stranded for nearly 50 hours in enemy territory, Hegseth said, sent his first message, after surviving the incident and making it to safety, from inside Iran on his emergency transponder, saying “Good is good.”
He further revealed that the President had ordered “the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation” before tomorrow’s deadline, where bombs will rain down “even more than today.”
“And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely because this President does not play around. You can ask Soleimani, you can ask Maduro, you can ask Khamenei,” Hegseth declared.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump also threatened during the press conference that he could completely destroy Iran in one night, “and that night might be tomorrow night.”
“Every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night,” and “every power plant in Iran will be out of business, burning, exploding, and never to be used again,” Trump said.

Artemis II passed by the far side of the Moon on Monday in a historic lunar flyby.
Artemis II launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida last Wednesday evening for a historic 10-day flight to orbit the Moon.
This is the first crewed lunar mission since 1972.
On Monday, Artemis II flew around the dark side of the Moon.
Artemis II Astronaut Victor Glover shared the Gospel and Jesus Christ’s teachings before losing communication during the historic lunar flyby.
“To remind us of one of the most important mysteries on earth, and that is love. Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command? It was to love God with all that you are,” Victor Glover said.
“And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself,” he said.
“And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we’re still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on Earth and around Earth, we love you from the Moon,” he said. “We will see you on the other side.”

Victor Glover shared a special Easter message over the weekend.
“When we are so far from America, and we can look at the beauty of creation… and when I read the Bible and I look at all of the amazing things that were done for us…” he said.
“You’re on a spaceship called Earth that was created to give us a place to live in the universe, in the cosmos,” he added.
“Just trust me. You are special. In all of this emptiness, this is a whole bunch of nothing, this thing we call the universe, you have this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together,” he said.
NASA’s statement on the Artemis II launch from last week:
NASA’s Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, with the Orion spacecraft atop carrying NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch, along with CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, lifted off from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39B in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT to begin its journey to deep space.
The twin solid rocket boosters ignited first, delivering more than 75% of the thrust needed to lift the 5.75-million-pound rocket off the pad. Their combined power, along with the four RS-25 engines already at full thrust, generated an incredible 8.8 million pounds of force at liftoff. As the rocket rose, the umbilicals – which provided power, fuel, and data connections during prelaunch – disconnected and retracted into protective housings. This ensured the vehicle is free from ground systems and fully autonomous for flight.
The approximately 10-day Artemis II mission around the Moon is the first crewed flight under NASA’s Artemis campaign. It will help test the systems and hardware needed to continue sending astronauts on increasingly difficult missions to explore more of the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and to continue building toward the first crewed missions to Mars.

The New York Post reported:
“The capsule began the flyby around 2:45 p.m. ET, and will spend just over six hours arcing around the moon with its windows pointed toward the far side of the lunar surface.
All four crew members will become the first people in history to see certain swaths of the far side — since most it remained in shadow when the Apollo missions orbited the moon over 50 years ago.”

The Apollo flights were close to the surface with a limited range of sight, while Artemis will stay between 4,000 and 6,000 miles from the moon, and crew will see the entirety of the far side under the full light of the sun.
“Artemis II’s astronauts will spend the flyby photographing and making in-person observations of the far side as part of their research. It will be a four-day journey home, with the capsule expected to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean around 8:07 p.m. ET on Friday.”

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth.

A federal judge on Monday rejected Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan’s bid to toss out a jury’s guilty verdict on charges for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
US District Judge Lynn Adelman, a Clinton appointee, denied Hannah Dugan’s motions.
In December, Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan was found guilty of obstruction for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
Dugan was acquitted of count 1 – the misdemeanor but she was found guilty on count 2 – the felony obstruction.
She is facing five years in prison.
Last April, a federal grand jury indicted Hannah Dugan for helping an illegal alien evade ICE agents.
According to the FBI, Dugan became angry when she found out that ICE agents were waiting outside of her courtroom last week to arrest Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal alien involved in a domestic abuse case she was overseeing. She allegedly directed Flores-Ruiz to exit the courthouse through a private jury door to evade arrest.
FBI Director Kash Patel said Judge Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested at her courthouse.”
The shocking criminal complaint detailed Judge Dugan’s actions to intimidate federal agents and how she helped the illegal alien evade arrest.
Judge Dugan learned of ICE’s presence and angrily confronted the arrest team of ICE agents.
The video shows Hannah Dugan in her robes walking through the courthouse halls and confronting ICE agents dressed in plain clothes.
Later on, the illegal alien, Flores-Ruiz, and his lawyer are seen sneaking out the “jury door” so he could evade arrest.

Kanye West may be banned from the UK – Wiki Commons
Brits are losing it over Ye.
That multi-millionaire recording artist Kanye West is controversial, there’s no disputing it.
Whether he is parading his wife completely in the nude in public events or else making shocking statements only to retract them with a mountain of apologies, Ye is always in the headlines, and seldom for a good reason.
So, the prospect of headlining July’s Wireless Festival in the UK would be a nice opportunity for the entertainer to get back at what he was made famous for: his music.
Except for the fact that the news of his participation has put the UK in turmoil.
So much so that the failing British government finds itself under growing pressure to ban U.S. rapper Kanye West from entering the country.

BREAKING: Ministers are reportedly considering if Kanye West will be allowed in to the UK to perform at a festival.

Reuters reported:
“West, now known as Ye, has been criticized in the past for antisemitic remarks and celebration of Nazism, which have led on several occasions to his social media accounts, including on X, being barred.
The decision to book Ye prompted several companies to pull their sponsorship of the festival, while ​the main opposition Conservative Party wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, urging her to ban him from coming to Britain.”

Failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who approved late term abortions UP TO BIRTH, and voted for the failed bill for Assisted Suicide, described as ‘deeply concerning’ the decision to book Ye for the London festival.
And today, it has emerged that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is considering ‘blocking Kanye West from entering Britain over his history of anti-Semitism’.
[It’s never too much to remind our readers that the UK has received and honored Ukrainian Azov fighters who are real-life, present-day Nazis. So, talk about double standards!]
The Telegraph reported:
“Jewish organizations and MPs have urged the Government to ban the musician from entering the UK. Ministers can block the entry of any foreign national if their presence is considered not “conducive to the public good”.
Three companies – Pepsi, Rockstar Energy, and Diageo – have withdrawn their sponsorship of the festival.
[…] The Home Office would not comment on whether West had already applied for an [Electronic Travel Authorization], but Ms. Mahmood would have the ability to block any application.”

BREAKING: Wireless Festival will keep Kanye West as its headliner
Melvin Benn, the Managing Director of Festival Republic, said:

President Trump updates reporters on Iran and the pilot rescue mission
President Trump, while shredding American allies for refusing to get involved with Iran, told reporters on Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would call Joe Biden “mentally retarded.”
Trump tore into NATO and the United States’s Asian allies during a press conference on the Iran war following the successful search and rescue operation for an F-15E Strike Eagle crew that was downed over Iran.
Trump previously asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait of Hormuz from the Iranian blockade, but they refused to get involved in the war. Trump has said that it was a test for NATO, and they failed.
The President went on to slam these other countries after they “refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran,” suggesting that they buy oil from the United States or take care of the Strait of Hormuz themselves. “You’ll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore, just like you weren’t there for us,” he said in a Truth Social post.
The President has repeatedly called NATO a “paper tiger” and said that we don’t need them, as reports suggest he’s considering withdrawing the US from the alliance.
When asked about his relationship with NATO on Monday, Trump went off on the alliance, again calling it a “paper tiger” and accusing them of going “out of their way not to help.” He then slammed Australia, Japan, and South Korea for refusing to provide assistance despite all the US does for them before comparing his relationship with North Korea to that of Joe Biden.
“We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well as you know,” Trump said, revealing the damning but accurate description Kim Jong Un had for Joe Biden.
“Do you notice he said very nice things about me? He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Okay, so don’t tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said, he’s a mentally retarded person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible, but to me, he likes Trump,” Trump continued.
WATCH:
Reporter: You’ve voiced your displeasure with NATO in the past. Is there a danger to the US not being the de facto leader of the alliance, and then other powers within the Alliance then getting the decision making when it comes to wars and nuclear weapons?
Trump: No, it’s not a danger. NATO’s, look, we went to. NATO. I didn’t ask very strongly. I just said, “Hey, if you want to help, great.” “No, no, no, we will not help.” I said, “That’s all right. You don’t want to help?” because I’ve always said NATO is a paper tiger. See, NATO is a paper tiger. Putin’s not afraid of NATO. Putin’s afraid of us, very afraid of us. And he’s explained it to me a lot of times. I got to know him very well. I know him very well. NATO is a paper tiger. NATO is us, and when we needed them— but we didn’t need them by the way, we didn’t need them obviously because they haven’t helped at all. Just the opposite. They’ve actually gone out of their way not to help.
They didn’t even want to give us landing strips. Think of it. And it’s not just NATO. You know who else didn’t help us? South Korea didn’t help us. You know who else didn’t help us? Australia didn’t help us. You know who else didn’t help us? Japan. We’ve got 50,000 soldiers in Japan to protect them from North Korea. We have 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect us from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well as you know. Do you notice he said very nice things about me? He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person. Okay, so don’t tell me about your stuff. Joe Biden, he said, he’s a mentally retarded person. He was so nasty to Joe Biden. It was terrible, but to me, he likes Trump.
And you notice how nice things are with North Korea, it’s very nice, but we have 45,000 people, soldiers in harm’s way, and right next to Kim Jong Un with a lot of nuclear weapons, 45, which should have never happened if a certain President, I’m not going to mention this president, because I happen to like him, believe it or not. But if a certain President did his job, Kim Jong Un would not have nuclear weapons right now, but they’re all afraid to do their job properly.
But just to conclude, and just to finish, Japan didn’t help us, Australia didn’t help us, South Korea didn’t help us. And then you get to NATO, NATO didn’t help us. There were some countries that did. Now, countries that have been good, now, you could also say they’re got to be a little bit more involved, because they’re in the territory. But Saudi Arabia has been excellent, Qatar has been excellent, UAE has been excellent, Bahrain, Kuwait.
