(00:00):
Twenty twenty four Election Headquarters. Ourcountry's just falling apart and we need a
major change. Fifty five KRZ thetalk station eight five. Here at fifty
five KRCD talk station, Happy asI can be. Got it one full
hour in studio. Congress and bradWinstrop congresson Winstrip, not at the RNC.

(00:20):
He is here. He's got moreimportant things to do. I'm just
kidding. I know you've got awhole lot on your plate. We have
so much to talk about this morning, including what you have been doing in
lieu of going to the convention.And you've got a lot of great work
to let my listeners know about today. But to start off, as you
suggested, you might want to hitthe ground running with the attemptive assassination of

(00:40):
Donald Trump over the weekend and thecold. I mean, every morning I
wake up to something that makes itlook even worse than the day before,
by way of failure of the USUnited States Secret Service. Oh, the
roof had too much of a slope, Congressman, That's why no one was
perched up there? Are you kiddingme? Welcome back to my friend.
It's always good to see you.Well, it's a good to see you,
Brian. It's always good to behere. Yeah, I've spent the

(01:03):
last couple of days in DC.I've got this Pandemic Commission, if you
will, the Pandemic Committee that Ichair, and we've got to get our
report done by the end of theyear. And so I was up there
with staff putting everything together. We'vehad so many letters and transcribed interviews,
hearings, and it's on everything todo with the pandemic. So we're pulling

(01:25):
that together and we can talk aboutthat more late later in the show,
if you want to. Yeah,and fair enough, that was what our
plan was. But again, you'rethe one that wanted to start off with
comments about the endeavor that crazy kids, the murderer is efforts to kill Trump.
Yeah, I thought, I'm eagerto talk about this situation. One.
We obviously need investigation. I'm anintelligence committee. I tried to give

(01:47):
as much information as I can.We don't really have oversight over the Secret
Service, but at the same time, we're getting information about how our agencies
responded in the preparation for it.It doesn't make sense to me, Brian,
you know, I'm military. Iwas at a place where we were
attacked three four times a week,and there was a lot of sniper fire

(02:09):
going on in our region while Iwas in Iraq, And so you're always
looking to where the possible sites couldcould be. You know, you should
be able to stand where the presidentis going to be standing and take a
look around and say that's a potentialsite. That's a potential site. The
slope of the roof. You know, you that's comical. I mean,

(02:29):
if it wasn't so sad, apathetic, apathetic, we would all it
would be like a joke like shewas. She was saying that as a
joke, but she wasn't right.And why don't we then why don't you
have a drone over? I mean, if something so impossible to position someone
there wasn't the kid did it?Yeah? Exactly able to squeeze off around
and almost ended Donald Trump's life anddid end the life of that very brave

(02:51):
firefighter who tried to was there justto save his family. When you read
the accounts of that, it's heartbreaking. What I have been told is a
local policeman went up on the ladderyep, and so you may have her
yes too, But he had toduck because the guy took a you know,
aim at him, and it's justhis head exposed at that point.
So I can understand that, Butwhy not a more robust response, you
know, once that that was seen, I don't know. But then I

(03:14):
guess he turned and fired on Trumpright away. Maybe that helped save Trump's
life because he didn't have time tomaybe aim as well as he would have
liked to have aimed. I don'tknow. Trump turned his head just at
the right moment, and tell ifyou watch that, it's undeniable that he
just just the moment he turned hishead to look at that that that prompter,
that's when that shot rang out andhit him in the ear. Because

(03:36):
I mean, you've seen the graphic. If he had had his head in
the position it was in before,the backside of his head wouldn't be there
anymore, it wouldn't be and itwould have been an incredibly ugly, ugly
seeing. I do want to givecredit to the to the firefighter who you
know, protected his child, andthe way the family has responded. You
know, the daughter said, youknow, I had the best dad in

(03:58):
the world, and you know,the wife said, he'd do it all
over again. I mean, prettyimpressive, wellpressive display of heroism. I
mean, rightfully, so Trump getscredit for standing in defiance after being shot
when he still could have been underunder fire. I mean, they didn't
have that situation secured yet, theydidn't know if there were more shooters out
there. And maybe some people couldsay it was a dumb thing for him

(04:18):
to stand up, but it wasa defiant, very brave act. One
could say was uplifting for the crowd. It was a symbol of, you
know, his strength. But thenyou've got the firefighter who literally lost his
life doing exactly what the Secret Serviceis paid to do in defense of the
president or, as this case is, the former president, and the president
has recognized that, oh heroism ofthose that took a hit through all of

(04:42):
this, and they're true patriots inmy mind for sure. But you know,
it's like a lot of things.I had one interview like, you
know, well, what do wedo now? This is like right afterwards,
I said, we drive on.I said it's the baseball shooting.
Yeah, you know, we gottogether right after that and said, I'll
be darned if we're going to bedeterred and not play that game. We're

(05:04):
playing that game, right, andthat's what most Americans would do. Most
Americans would do, and that's beenthe history of America. We don't we
take a hit, we get backup, and we're not going to let
evil people dominate us. Yeah.I had one listener, this was day
before yesterday, call in and say, these people should all be in like
popemobiles, you know, behind bulletproofglass and you know, always surroundings.

(05:28):
It's like, no, that isnot what you do in response. You
don't cower and capitulate to this.You stand up in defiance to it.
You prove them that you're stronger,you're a better person than them by not
surrounding yourself with bulletproof glass. Twentyfour to seventy What kind of life would
that be? Anyway? You don'twant to give them that satisfy? No,
absolutely not, absolutely not. Well, I just this call for unity

(05:53):
when you hear it from the Democrats, and you know, I know Republicans
are guilty of divisive comments and statementsas well, but it's sort of when
you look at the political landscape andthe goals of the far left, which
has taken over the Democrat Party,their goal is division. I mean,
it's to divide the country on anypossible lines, sexuality lines, school choice

(06:17):
lines, pro or against police,racial lines, DEI dividing people up into
little you know, checkboxes and marks, division division divisions. So to hear
a call for unity, especially fromanybody on that sort of Alexandria Casio Cortez
part of the camp is just nonsensicalconsidering it flies in the face of what
they're looking for, which is todivide us all. Yeah, there really

(06:40):
does seem to be the goal ofso many. And look, there's a
lot of Democrats I work with,especially when we're talking about health and military
and veterans and things like that.We can get a lot done in those
areas, and then just some commonsense things I think. You know,
it's easy sometimes to get Democrats onboard with some of your bills, because
American bills now they are part ofconservative values, but I sell them as

(07:04):
this is good for America and here'swhy. And you can get some people
on board. That's a unifying message. And we don't see that from from
the left very often, not theones you see on TV. Yeah,
and you know, I got toasked one time, you know, how
do we calm down some of thechaos. And I said, well,
and this was with someone in themedia, and I said, well,

(07:25):
it would be nice if the mediapaid more attention to those that actually get
things done than those that never getanything done but do a lot of talking
and spend a lot of time infront of the camera. Yeah, Squeaky
Wheel gets agrees, especially in media. The more batcrap and saying your comments
or viewpoint, it's more likely itis. It's going to be broadcast over
and over again. I think you'regoing to get more interviews. Yeah,

(07:45):
And but I will say this,you know, Yeah, we've got people
on our side with a lot ofrhetoric. It's usually not violent in nature.
No, it's not. Theirs isviolent in nature. You know,
you saw get in there. You'veseen this for years. Go ahead,
get out there, get in theirface, go to their homes, interrupt
them at dinner exactly. You know, bring a weapon to the home of

(08:09):
a Supreme Court justice. I mean, these are the things you see happening.
And you take a young, impressionablekid twenty years old, if what
he's hearing is that Donald Trump isa person who's a dictator. Donald Trump
is going to end democracy and youmay be even getting that in school today.
That's the problem. And so whatthey're not talking about in school is

(08:33):
what's really missing. You know.Do you look at a person's presidency in
school and can you teach kids that, you know what, President Trump quit
sending money to Iran, leading sponsorof terror in the world. President Trump
took out Sulimani, who's responsible forkilling so many Americans, especially during our

(08:54):
war in Iraq. I saw afirsthand. Do they say that President Trump
stood up to President ch and puteconomic pressure on him. Did they say
that the leader of North Korea quitfiring missiles under President Trump's leadership? Do
they point out that Putin didn't gointo to Ukraine under President Trump but he

(09:16):
did under Obama and Biden? Orhis Nobel Peace Prize worthy efforts in the
Middle East? You got it.That's next done my left, see,
and that's the one to me thatstands out more than anything. You know,
Barack Obama gets elected and he's giventhe Nobel Peace Prize for what for
being elected? For being elected?And Donald Trump actually sowed the seeds of
peace between previously in essence warring countriesand solidified some stability for Israel, and

(09:41):
nobody gives it. Nobody even mentionsthat one monumental achievement in the history of
negotiating peace to the Middle East.Well, I got another one, the
USMCA, the United States Mecvolcano Agreement. Not only was it bipartisan, it
had union support. So you tellme who's the uniter. Tell me who

(10:03):
can actually bring everyone together and tothe table. But but but but but
evil orange man races xenophobe, homophobe, misogynists. But but but but let
the pause from it. We'll bringCongressman once for back. He's got some
things to talk about, the Chinainformation, looking into the COVID. We're
going to talk about DEI in medicalschool, but maybe even more broadly than

(10:24):
that, among other conversation topics withCongressman Brad Weinstrip. First, perfect timing,
considering we're just talking about the shooting. Maybe bad timing, don't know.
Twenty two three. I'll rope forwardto two between Mason and Loven and
my favorite gun shop. It'll beyours too. Outstanding people. You're gonna
get great service there. They'll treatyou like family. They'll help you select
if you do not own a firearm, and I'm a guy would encourage you
to do so. It's the greatequalizer. They can help you find one

(10:48):
that's perfectly suited to your needs.And of course the training classes is I
like to point out from the I'venever picked up a gun before class,
but I'd like to own one.Class all the way through experience shooter classes,
you can get private lessons, grouplessons, and concealed Carrie. If
you're traveling out of state and youwant to travel with your firearm, concealed
carry pass is our license is necessaryin many states, so you don't want

(11:11):
to leave home without it. Plusyou're going to learn a lot of really
solid information taking that class one ofthe many classes they offer at twenty two
three, located on Route forty twobetween Mason and Levin. Until Wendy and
Jeff and the owners Brian said howwould you stop in? To learn more?
Head on over to the website twentytwo three. The number twenty two

(11:33):
KRC and iHeartRadio Station, the exclusiveaudio home on NBC's coverage of the twenty
twenty four Paris Olympics intimacy, thosespecial talkstation. Happy Wednesday to you,
of course, always happy when Congressmanwent brad Winstrips in studio for a full
hour. And that's what we're doingright now with Congress and winstrip got to
get your thoughts in comments about JD. Vance. Of course, local boy

(11:54):
made it big. He's now thevice presidential choice for Donald Trump, which
surprised a lot of my lists.I got to be honest with you,
Congressman, because, of course,some of the comments he said about Trump
going back quite a few years twentysixteen, you know Nazi and you know
city he'd rather vote for Hillary Clintonor something along those lines. Clearly he
has made amends with Donald Trump sinceTrump selected him, and an amazing opportunity.

(12:16):
What a backbench. We laugh atthe Democrats and their struggles to find
anyone who could substitute Joe Biden outHe had probably six really solid potentials for
vice presidential choice. And what withJadvans. What's your reaction to that?
Well, I think it's a goodchoice. I like JD. JD impressed
me before I ever met him.When I read his book He'll Billy Elgy

(12:39):
and got to know about his lifeand then I met him a few times,
and then it was obvious he wantedto get involved with politics, and
he did, And when he ranfor Senate, I wrote a piece about
why I was for him and whyI thought he can bring so much to
the table. You know, ata young age of thirty nine, he's
got a lot of depth and breathto him and and the capability of being

(13:01):
compassionate understanding from just about any walkof life. Here's a guy who went
from abject poverty, domestic violence,addiction in the family raised by his grandmother
to Wall Street. He went fromwelfare to Wall Street. I mean,
with a stop in the military inbetween, with the deployment and then law

(13:22):
school. He used as GI Billthe way you're supposed to to advance yourself.
Your military service is patriotic, butit also comes with a benefit that
you've earned. And he's just doneall of these things. Those are life
experiences. And look, and I'vesaid about going into office, is do
something else first before you go tooffice, exactly, And here's someone who

(13:46):
has but he's done a lot bythirty nine years old. Look, I
joined the military at thirty nine andjust started my twenty five year career in
the military. Then, so it'spretty impressive what he has done, and
I think he can reach out tomultiple generations because of his experiences and multiple
walks of life. Well, andyou're right, I mean solid Who can

(14:09):
criticize someone who volunteered and served inthe America's military honorably, who demonstrated business
acumen and was in fact successful,and again coming from that terrible life that
so many will use as an excuseto stay in the same spot. Oh,
I grew up in a terrible familyand my mom was a drug addict
and Helen, Hell, am Isupposed to advance in the world when you

(14:31):
know I've I've been dealt this terriblehand. It's now Here's Cinderella story right
there as you off air, youcommented on it. That's really what Jadvans
is and a great learning opportunity forpeople who think they can't get out from
under the weight of that situation.Yeah, exactly. And you know,
we have safety nets in our country, and I'm glad that we do.

(14:52):
I'm glad to live in a countrywith safety nets. But they're not supposed
to be a hammock, as wasone said, Right, and you know,
Democrats talk a lot about we gotto tax the rich more, but
they don't really talk about any successin lifting people up out of poverty with
these programs. And that's what we'vebeen trying to change as Republicans all along.
Yes, let's help people in need. Any one of us could be
in poverty someday, but let's makeit a path to something better. Well,

(15:16):
that's that welfare work for welfare program. You know, you have to
engage in some effort merely asking youto participate in the workforce for a while
in order to justify the benefits.Hell, you could parley that into a
full time, full paying job,which would give you better benefits and give
you some honor and dignity rather thanbeing stuck with the ubilical court of work.
And yet the Democrats, no,no, we can't have that.

(15:39):
That's right. And JD. Vanceunderstands how that can happen. You know,
he didn't get where he got bywinning a lottery ticket. No,
he actually worked his way out ofthere. He saw an opportunity for a
better life. And I think thatthat's a great example. And you know,
you talk about you know, hesaid things about Donald Trump. Look
I've had the experience, you know, some time times in my medical practice,

(16:02):
but definitely within politics where I mayhave thought one thing about somebody until
I got to know them. Andthat's the key. And I try in
Washington to not negotiate and do thingsthrough the press, because then you never
get to know the person that maybe getting in the way of what you're
trying to accomplish. Reach out tothem, get to know them. And

(16:25):
I think that's what happened with jd. Vance. They got to know each
other and realized, hmm, maybeit's not what I thought. And also
I think he probably had a chanceto take a look at the policies that
Donald Trump put in place that wereworking and making America better. Right.
And remember when the most of thesecomments that people referred to happened was twenty
sixteen, before he had time toprove himself. And Donald Trump did not

(16:47):
come into that role with a cleanslate. I mean, he was open
to criticism from Republicans and Democrats fora variety of different things, one of
which is Donald Trump really wasn't aRepublican. He was a Donald trumpion,
right, right, That's what hislife has always been based on. But
after four years he demonstrated that hemoved away from it's all about me to

(17:08):
it's all about America. And Ithink that's what appeals most to people about
Trump. Well, he certainly isn'tin this for him. No, I
know his life, and those arethe better people in public service that I
see are those that don't need tobe there. I say that always about
Congress. If Congress is the bestjob you could possibly ever have, you

(17:30):
probably shouldn't be there. Bouz,we'll break Congress with Winster back. We

(19:30):
station A thirty one fifty five krcDE talk station Brin Thomas wishing a happy
Wednesday and turning back to Congressman bradWinstroup is in studio for the full hour,
talking about a variety of different topics. Of course, we talked about
the assassination attempt got JD. Vansout of the way in terms of you

(19:53):
you're astute observations on him. Andnow we pivot over to Congressman brad Winstrup.
What are you working on? Workingon a lot of things, which
is in part why I'm not atthe convention, because there's the NDAA come
up, and I'm working on someamendments that I think are going to be
very helpful to military medicine, andnot only that, but better for our

(20:15):
troops. And some things that arenot only better for our troops but for
our for our civilians, which arepretty interesting. But one of them that
I want to talk about, especiallyfor our local audience, is an amendment
that would provide a starting point atrial to have a working relationship between the

(20:36):
military, between military medicine and civilcivilian medicine. And so in particular,
we want to start with Wright PattersonAir Force Base and their military assets there
and the University of Cincinnati a Levelone trauma center. But it's not just
trauma, it's an operation for basicallywhat end goal or what endo Okay,
So if we were in a situationwhere you know, are wounded or are

(21:00):
ill, if you think about bioweapons, which COVID made us keenly aware of,
if you think about those things,you could have so many casualties that
the military medical system has overwhelmed.So how can we tie our casualties in
with a civilian center? And yousee has already engaged so much with the
military, it's a great place tostart this kind of trial. And then

(21:23):
vice versa. I for our countryis under attack and we have some more
casualties or more illness than we canhandle. Can we engage directly with our
military healthcare system? Okay, wellyou're forward thinking on that. But what
frightens me about this is you're talkingabout right, Patterson Air Force Base,
University of Cincinnati. And I understandyou. You see trauma center, they

(21:45):
see this kind of thing all thetime, but these are domestic locations.
These are here. Are you suggestingthat we may be facing a situation where
we have a whole bunch of casualtiescivilian or military on our own soil.
Well, if you you know,you don't necessarily have to say that COVID
was a bio weapon, but itshowed what a bio weapon can do,

(22:10):
and certainly that was on our ownsoil, and so you have to be
prepared for that. But on theother front, you know, our casualties
don't always stay in theater, right, No, we evacuate them. And
so if we're doing evacuations of youknow, thousands of troops, Okay,
where are we going to put themall? Our military treatment facilities aren't prepared

(22:32):
for that large of a number.So let's be prepared. Let's not find
ourselves in a situation like we didwith COVID, not prepared for a pandemic.
Let's be prepared for a larger scaleproblem. Well, since, thankfully
the wars and conflicts we've been engagedin and thus far not been on our
soil other than our American military history, we understand that revolutionary warcutch sector.

(22:55):
But you know wounded in the MiddleEast, wounded that I meanly aren't they
taken to hospitals, say in Europefor example, closer venue, closer point
of caring for them, right,so we have cooperation agreements with them.
That's part of the step by stepprocess. Well, let me let me
tell you we have a good evacuationsystem. We may need to make sure

(23:19):
that it's enhanced for large numbers.So, for example, in Iraq,
would get we would get wounded,we would stabilize them as soon as we
could travel, have them travel,We'd put them on a bird. They'd
go to bogram which then put themthat was that was rotary wing. Then
we get them on fixed wing.After they're more stabilized at bogram, then
they go off to lown stool andthen from lawn stool to Walter Reid place

(23:45):
like that, and this all happenswithin twenty four hours sometimes Brian so and
and the SEACAT system Critical Care TransportTeam System, which they do some of
that training in a simulator at UCand I've been there for it. It's
a flying ICU and it's a prettyimpressive system. And so we have that

(24:07):
system in place. You know,you want to get him out of theater
if their life is threatened, andget him home because part of your recovery
sometimes is very much helped if yourfamily can be around them. Yeah,
I would imagine congresson winstrip And thanksfor putting in the context of something that
I wasn't thinking of, which isof course like a pandemic. Well,

certainly won't have time to get throughall of them, but two segments here
beginning with this one real quick here, I don't want to focus too long
on it, but on the heelsof my conversation with retired Lieutenant Colonel Matthew
Lohmeyer the other day on his bookIrresistible Revolution, Marxism, Goal of Conquest

(26:44):
and unmaking of the American Military.Uh, just a really eye opening book,
and the problems within the American militaryalong these DEI lines. It's ruining
recruiting, it's ruining morale, elevatingpeople who are not qualified to higher positions
because they in the appropriate check markson the DEI boxes. This is destroying
our fighting power and our ability torecruit more people. Can you have in

(27:08):
the d n DAA a removal ofany funding whatsoever or a prohibition on teaching
DEI or otherwise relying on DEI principlesin America's military? And so we have
done that. We have done that. That is in the current form of
the NDAA, which is moving forward. Did I the Senate have a comparable
provision in our version. That's whatwe're working, Okay, and then you

(27:30):
know, the presidents sign it.And we've done efforts like this before the
president has signed. The problem isthey keep doing it and we're catching them.
Just recently, somebody sent me aphoto that they took or anything they
had they had things like National Rightto life as well. I read that
this morning is a terrorist organized Isaw the PowerPoint slide on the wall.

(27:52):
Now Fort Liberty, what was FortBragg? I mean, they just do
it anyway. So you know,I immediately got in touch with Personnel,
Chair of Armed Services Committee, andwe're calling them in. It's got to
stop, and there has to beconsequences to the people that get to continue
to do these things. And thatgoes across the board. Brian, you
know, used to be the militarywas the agency that where unethical was unlawful,

(28:17):
and they don't mess around, andin the other agencies they do whatever
they darn well please. Because themilitary has criminal liability called the UCMJ Uniform
Code of Military. The other agenciesdon't have that. We put that in
PISA reform. There's now criminal liabilityif you violate the standards of what should
be happening. So what we did, something like crossfire hurricane can never happen

(28:38):
again. And if it does,somebody's going to jail and and and certainly
losing their job rather than just walkingoff and being hired by CNN. So
that's the thing. So we're inthat vein SOI DEI has now gone into
the medical schools, and so doctorMurphy and I doctor Winstrop. You know,
we have a bill that no morefunding from metal schools that do DEI.

(29:02):
They're having people take an oath tothis stuff, and they're putting people
in medical schools that aren't prepared.Look, I am all for creating opportunity
for people that don't normally have it. That's why I'm for school choice.
I knew in second grade I wantedto be a doctor, so I went
to schools that would prepare me forthat type of curriculum. But a lot
of people don't have that opportunity becausethey don't have a choice on where they

(29:22):
can go to school, and theyend up going to schools that don't prepare
them for it. You can't turntwenty one and say, well, your
grades aren't very good and this andthat, but because of who you are
and what you look like, we'regoing to put you into medical school.
That's what's being done. Yeah,and UCLA finally, the professors are speaking
up there and they're basically saying,we can't train these people, we can't

(29:44):
teach them. They're not capable,they're not they shouldn't be here. The
schools have gone to pass fail.They've gone to many have gone to pass
fail, you know, so youcan just get everyone, well they passed,
Yeah they passed. But you know, I was a residency director when
you're and I know with my residencythey told us, you know, we've
looked at your grades, we lookedat your board scores, we've looked at
your recommendations. Now we want toknow if you're a hard worker or not.

(30:10):
So in other words, you eliminateda lot of people based on the
academic part and didactic part and everythingelse. But now are you capable of
working hard? And do you havethe skills to say, be a surgeon
and do this and that. That'swhat we're looking for in residency. You
do a pass fail system for asa residency director, you're in the dark.
You are in the dark about whoyou may want to recruit for your

(30:32):
program. That's frightening, isn't it? Though? And you know what,
I never in my career, andI could name several people of color,
etc. Women that are the mostoutstanding people in their specialty and in their
career, and you never tell them. Did anyone doubt Ben Carson's capabilities as
a pediatric neurosurgeon. No, butisn't that what's going to happen. Are

(30:56):
people going to want to know,well, is this a DEI doctor?
Really good? And so we dida press conference with this bill, and
you know, we doctor Murphy andI were being challenged and we had several
doctors out there in the press conference. We were being challenged on it.
He said, well, the numbersof certain groups, you know, all
this identity politics, number of certaingroups aren't represented very well in medicine.

(31:18):
And you know, I said toone guy, I said, you don't
insist on on on this in insports, you don't. You know,
I got it. I kind ofgot into it with EMMITTT. Smith on
one thing when he was asking whatI'm doing for DEI for Intel in Ohio,
and I said, I'm going tomake sure my district people know there's
job opportunities there and made the mostmeritorious, best candidate get the job.

(31:41):
Yeah, and you know, prepareyourself for it. You know, it's
like, but hey, did youdo that for your offensive line? Are
you kidding me? You know Hisaction was, well, that's just sports,
right, No, that wasn't emitttSmith himself. But that was another
guy where I brought that up,the guy who was at the press conference,
and I said, well, wehave what about in sports, because
that's just sports. I said,yeah, the other's life and death.

(32:05):
That's why are you kidding me?You know, if the absolute best person
you know, you know, Itell you I wouldn't be able to pick
a Dei hier in medicine. Andyou know, if they're standing in the
line, although if my never methim before, doctor demands that I refer
to them by the gender pronouns theyor them, I know I've got a
dei hire in front of you.Oh yeah, exactly. Well, I'll
tell you during that press conference itwas great. I don't know if you

(32:28):
know Burgess Owens. He's a congressmanfrom Utah. Burgess Owens grew up in
the segregated South. He was oneof the first to get a football scholarship
to a major college. He hasa Super Bowl ring with it with the
Raiders. He wrote that he wrotea book called Liberalism, or How to
Turn Good Men into Weenies, whinersand whims, and he handed it to

(32:50):
this guy and his elitism. Becauseof course, this guy said, well,
my father's a doctor. Oh yeah, you've got an in you know.
I'm sure you can find the carethat you need, you know,
because of your connections through your father. But the average person out there on
this threat, especially from like ruraland underserved communities, good luck with that
duck with whoever they're in front of. Y Yeah, no choice and no

(33:13):
knowledge in the matter. That's possible. In Congressman back one more segment with
brad Winstrip after I mentioned Fast andPro Roofing ultimate roofing company. Fast and
Pro because they're honest and they dosuperior work. What more can you want
from a roofing company. First off, you can trust them, which is
not something you can easily do inthe roofing business. There's lots and lots
of unscrupulous roofers out there. Thebusiness is just like set up for ripping

(33:35):
people off because very few people inspecttheir own roofs or even know what to
do if they were off there.Fast and Pro Roofing are honest all day
long. The business is founded onthe principle of honesty. You give people
a square deal, you tell themthe right information, and you are not
going to have to worry about yourbusiness model and they'll give you the free
upgraded shingle Certainty Landmark Pro fifty yearsShingle. If you're going for a shingle
replacement you need one, get thefifty years shingle. Talk about peace of

(33:58):
mind. But it's not just shinglerules, and it's not just residential roots.
They do commercial ruse, metal slate, adobe work, box gutters,
copper work like custom metal works,siding, and all kinds of exterior projects.
It begins with a confident call toFast and Pro for the free inspection
and free quote on work that needsto be done. Call them up A

Now near Batavia, it's a littlebit further in than Bower, which

(35:07):

Branch Stonewick. Traffic from South Bendseventy five continues slow through Block one.
Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC thetalk station, Hey fifty want fifty five
KRCD talk station Brian Thomas closing upthe hour of commisson Brad, when's your
bread? Earlier you mentioned the coordinatedefforts with the NDAA to get the hospital,

(35:30):
the private hospital systems and the militaryhospital systems coordinating so in case we
have a mass casualty event, whichin which you interjected, or like a
COVID kind of thing, and Iwas like, wow, okay, but
you mentioned like a biological weapon isyou know if you look at COVID as
a biological weapon. What kind ofgood is it to have a weapon that
literally kills your own population, whichof course happened with China. We had

(35:52):
this conversation off air, and youmentioned a very frightening, frightening thing as
we segue into your cutting off funding. Yeah, and I'm not saying that
this particular you know, COVID nineteenwas a biological weapon. If they have
a biological weapons program in China,We've known this for years. They've talked

(36:13):
about it openly, and they talkabout using coronaviruses. But there's other things
too. The more they have,like data on people in general all around
the world, gathering it unfortunately throughthings like twenty three and meters which the
NA they get your DNA, sothey may be able to potentially craft something

(36:34):
that could then just target certain DNA. Right, So you could create something
theoretically anyway that will target non Asianpeople. Right. This would be the
concern, right, that this issomething you're capable of doing. Look,
gain of function research is risky.Doctor Fauci's even said that as far back

(36:57):
as twenty twelve, but he thoughtit was worth it. Personally, I
think we don't need to do thatwe have enough that we can do with
AI. If you want to lookat existing viruses and try to predict what
they may become and how they couldpossibly become infectious to humans, we can
do that through AI. We reallycan modeling absolutely, and we know what
components of the virus make it moreinfectious to humans, so you know we

(37:22):
can do that, and we're doingI'm all for surveillance of things that could
be a potential pandemic or just evenlocal illness, but to create something dangerous
like that is very concerning. Andthe Chinese are looking at those types of
technologies right and we're hoping to fundthis on top of it. So not
only are we sending him money,but they are in the United States with

(37:45):
companies that are doing things that harborour personal health information, not necessarily our
name, they don't even have tohave that, but they're getting our health
information and what we're made of,if you will, and that's concerned.
I have a bill. It's abipartisan bill. It came out of the

(38:06):
China Commission, which Mike Gallagher waschairing. He left Congress and I took
over the bill and it's with anotherDemocrat, ROJ Chris no Morthy who's on
Intelligence Committee with me. He understandsthese dangers and so we have a bill
will that will target these Chinese companiesin the United States that they are not

(38:30):
getting any kind of funding from theUnited States of America. And ultimately we
need to do like what we've donewith TikTok Is You've got if you want
to have this company here, you'regoing to have to sell it and to
an American interest because we can't havethe CCP gaining all this information on us.

(38:50):
And those are the steps we haveto take. Quite honestly, Brian,
we're a good ten years behind onthis, and the sooner we do
this the better. Well that's trueassessment, but it's the reality we were
living with today. And thankfully wehave people like Congressman Winstrop trying to take
care and keep us safe out there. It's gonna uphill battle. Congressman Winstrip
Glad we had these times together.I'm gonna miss having them after you retire.

(39:13):
I know I'm wishing the best ofluck when you're in your future endeavors,
but we've got several months before thatkicks in, and i know I'm
going to have you back. Atleast I hope to have you back on
in the morning show between now andthen. We'll do that, and maybe
afterwards too, we'll see. OhI don't know what I'll be doing next.
Hell, they could hire you atCNN or Fox or something as a
as a political consultant. So youwill continue to carry that that that that

(39:37):
weight with you, or that thisstreet cred with you even after you're out
of office. So yes, I'lltry to be in the fight. We'll
do that, and I hope youare. We need more people like you
in that fight. Eight fifty fivefolks, have a wonderful day. If
