Speaker 3 (00:22):
Now, look at usaid, it's nothing but a slush fund
for a lot of things. Yeh, look at the money
that's going out. I mean, look at the hundreds of
millions of dollars that are being spent on things that
have nothing to do with United States, our security or
anything else. And a lot of this money, billions and
(00:43):
I'm talking hundreds of billions, probably trillion dollars have disappeared
and we don't know where it is, which means your
taxes have gone for your lifetime. You're working your lifetime
supporting something that no one even knows what it is
or if it even went to the government. It didn't
support a road, it didn't support a bridge, it didn't
support a military person. It just disappeared in the ether.
(01:07):
That pisses you off as an American.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, it makes you wonder and the whole us A.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I d I go back to something I learned in
high school.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You can't buy friends.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
They're not buying friends, they're they're they're they're they're laundering money.
They say they're buying friends. Oh, we're using it at
this country. You know why they go to these crazy
countries and give them money, because because they're kleptocracies, and
then money comes back. They know the washing mechanisms. Look,
I mean, I'll predict something here. I think Hillary's preparing
(01:41):
another run. I think she's she's putting away money, recruiting donors.
She may or may not run, but I think she's
thinking about it and and moving in that direction.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'll say something else.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I think that there are some former heads of c
I A a specific one under Obama that is working
hard against this.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And no one has a handle on that. And he's
still there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He's not he's not there, but he's actively working against him.
And he's got people inside that he can either control
or get to use. I mean, look, the agency's full
of black money, unaccountable money, and they know where it is.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Here's a sad thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The people that are actually trying to help the president
can't get a dime, and the people that are working
against the president have unlimited funds. And then if you
try to get to the president and speak to him
about it, you're blocked by the gatekeepers who don't want
any of this information to get to the president because
how do we know if it's true or not.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This is going to be what you're dealing with right now. Break.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I think I've said this before, a strategic and comprehension.
People are like, well, that couldn't happen. Well, last time
we had strategic incomprehension was right before nine to eleven.
All the dots were there, they were put together, especially
by a guy in the agency who briefed the people
in the White House. They knew that this was a possibility.
And when George Bush was told about nine to eleven,
(03:02):
he's talking to that small group of kids, and that
look on his face wasn't of shock, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh my gosh, they were right. People don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And this texture is a good question for Keith, what
can we do as citizens to help America?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, my friend General Flint always says local impact, national consequence.
So as citizens were the word citizen back when in
the founding meant co sovereign because we were getting away
from a king and we were citizens. We're co sovereigns,
you know. So you have to be involved in your community.
(03:41):
You have to be actively involved, which means you may
have to blackwalk. You may have to get out and
try to get the right people into the city council,
bring the right pressure to bear. Everyone should get on,
get good people on your school board and get this
DEI crap out of there. Start holding local school districts accountable.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
It starts with CCISD got a C rating for schools
that's criminal in my book. For the amount of money
we pay flower Bluff with half the school taxes, we
have got to be So.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What's the difference?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, you know, you have a look at the
Teachers' union. May want to start there, you may you
need to look at what what's the goal of your
school district? Is your school district's goal to implement the
National Teacher Union agenda?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is your school district goal to implement DEI?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Or is the school district's goal to educate children to
be successful? I mean, how tied is the school district
to the craft Training Center? I mean, not every kid
is going to go to college, nor should they. I
mean some of my children in college, some of them aren't.
College is an absolute waste of time and money unless
you need college for the next step and what you're
(04:59):
going to do in your career.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Full stop. You don't need to go to college for
the sake of college.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And going to college to get a degree, and you know,
ethnic Women's studies is I'm sorry, it's not a degree
that's going to get you a job. If you want
to pay for it and get that degree, great, don't
take out a loan for it, because you're never going to.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Get One of the things Heritage Foundation was always kind
of talking about when I was in Washington was the
student loan program ought to be a market based where
if you were going to get an MIT engineering degree,
you're going to pay less than somebody getting a less valuable.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Degrees to be like that, especially like I didn't. I
was on scholarship for college, but I got loans for
med school, and you could get really low interest loans
because they knew they were going to get it back.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I mean, you're going to be a doctor. They're confidence.
And that was before doctors quit making any money.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, that was before the doctors were co opted into
a larger system. I mean it's doctors can still make
a living, but nothing like they used to and nothing
time value money wise. As far as being pushed, I mean,
doctors spend four years in college and they have to
study hard, they have to give up certain things to
make grades than four years in med school. Although now
(06:17):
we have a lot of med schools, a lot more
than I mean, it's exponentially more than when I went to.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, we have a lot more people needing medical care,
though well do.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
We or do we or or a better question is
we have more bureaucratic friction into medical care.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So then you have residency.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, they've changed the rules in residency where you know
how you can only work x amount of hours. A
lot of guys are coming out they're not adequately trained,
so they have to go back as junior faculty to
get the training they need, especially surgically, and then they
go into the real world.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So you're like.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Thirty two, thirty three years old before you're making any
syre what you would consider important money six figures plus
unless you're moonlighting. And it's difficult, and people think doctors
are rich. No they're not, but they do spend a
lot of time. They can be, but they have to
work for their money. I mean, it's not given to them.
It's not a government subsidy. But medicine in general, I
(07:13):
mean anything that gets too big bureaucratically can cause problems.
And I've been studying this since I got out of
residency in ninety seven. Is you have to look at
the amount of money and the healthcare dollar that goes
to actual healthcare, and I would put it to you
it's probably less than twenty five percent goes to the
point of care, and so it's going to electronic medical
(07:35):
record fees. It's going to you know, hiring extra people
so you can when you take insurance, you have to
refer people. You have to hire someone now to do
the referrals because you can't just do them.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Anymore like you used to.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of times, when you write a prescription, they
want a peer review on that prescription, or they want
you to check a bunch of boxes and sit down
at a computer to prove a medication that someone's been
taking their higher life and they need to they're taking
the medical decision making away from the doctor and they're
giving it to a bureaucrat at a box checker.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And it's costing more in medicine.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
All in an effort to save money, when in fact
it's actually costing money and I'll save it.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The only money is being saved is money to the
insurance companies are costing pharmaceutical company.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Pharmaceutical companies are the pharmaceutic pharmacy benefit managers, the PBMs.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I mean, these people are making more money. Doctors aren't.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And so what happens is doctors are getting burned out
or they're being forced into these corporate type practices with
these bait and switched deals, especially in primary care.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
See it's hard to find a primary care. I think
we're one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Of the few privately held urgent care systems left and
we have two clinics. We have one importantly and one
on SPID. And it's it's been a slog I mean,
every time you have to switch to a new EMR
and go to a new billing system, you're at the
mercy of these large conglomerates, and a lot of them don't.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Number one and number two, you know they'll get to
you when they get to you, and you can't do
anything about it. And so I mean, insurance companies can decide,
you know, we're not going to pay claims for a
few weeks, and people say, oh, that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, it does. But it's it's just and there people.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
There, and the amount of money associated with that two
or three weeks of holding on to that money, it
is a lot of money and interest.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Oh yeah, well, so what you what you see is
they're riding the float. They're they're taking like the EMR,
we don't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They have to.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
They take all the money, they put it in a
lock box, it sits there for a few days, and
then they release it to us. What's it doing those
few days sitting in a lock box? They're in sweep
accounts gaining interest, and they're doing it to all the
doctors and so they're making millions in interest every day
off of your money. And there's nothing you can do
about it because if you complain, then how are you
(09:56):
going to make.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Any money at all? They control your entire practice.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, it's it's hey, you know what people are getting
what they what they asked for. It's just not going
to be what they thought it was going to be.
I mean there are days that I just want to like,
go forget. I mean, I love my plastic surgery practice
because it's all paid up front.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Third days and events, and it's to some degree a racket.
My liver transplant team wants me to have a second heartcat,
which doctor Silverman says, I don't need. If you don't
get it, you're not gonna get a liver.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I mean, look, a lot of this is a lot
of this is medicine by algorithm, and which will work
for most people but not for all people. That's why
medicine is both a science and an art. And people
aren't paying attention. They're not They're they decided, you know,
docs worse.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Companies wanted to all be AI. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Well, if it was up to AI, everyone would have
been vaccinated for COVID and then you'd have earned more problems.
I mean, you do people do realize that COVID it's
now shown that Advisor just lied about their Phase three trials.
Has anyone been held accountable? No, I mean there's I mean,
if you dig down into the bowels of COVID and
(11:27):
what people are saying now they've come out and said,
oh I've remectin works. How many times did CBS and
Walgreens refuse to fill and I remect the script there
had COVID was the largest transfer of wealth and the
largest destruction of human lives and capital that that we've had.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
In our lifetime.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And no one is being held accountable.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And no, nothing, no, and and Fauccia is just prants
and our the world.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Fauci's worth about eight hundred million. Now, I mean Fauci,
I don't know if he's got prancing would be a
good word. He's kind of like Lord Farquaad. I mean,
all the money in the world's never going to make
him tall.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, but you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Know he doesn't. Again, there's no accountability. And here's a problem.
When there's no accountability, these kind of things will happen again.
And I get it when it first happened, we were
given bad information, but this was a serious information operation
or a covert action against the American people, and there's
been no explanation or accountability. He can't survive as a
(12:37):
nation in a society.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, I believe my whole heart that this was intentional
from China.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It was intentional from a lot of places. Ralph Barrick
it was intentional.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
From Anthony Fauci, was gain a function testing which they
now admit to. From EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daseik, it
was intentional from a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Wasn't just China. I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
The BSL four labs were having leaked problems when they
were having pathogens get out back, then why were we
doing research on this?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Gain of function?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Was outlawed in our I mean there's like a law
against it, and we were doing it and DD was
funding it. This is the thing when you're such a
big organization, there's dark money floating around and it can
get the things like COVID, and people are like, well,
what could happen?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't know. Look what happened with covid.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Blake, You and I both remember nine to eleven we
were on Jim's show. Well, the deficit during that time
was was in the billions. Now it's in the double
digit trillions, a mere twenty four years later. But with
spending more money, are we better for it? Are we
(13:52):
healthier for it?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
As our nation safer for it?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I mean when you're put when you're tax starars.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Are putting up illegal aliens in four star hotels in
New York City. There's probably a problem there, but no one,
No one wants to talk about it. It's not happening anymore.
You know, we're moving on. Not well, Okay, so we'll
repeat it again another time. I mean, President Trump has
(14:21):
four years. What happens after that? I mean we if
we don't start laying Trump, Trump is a Trump is
a one of a kind. I mean, yeah, I don't
have anything against Vans.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think Jad's super smart. I think he's but he's
not an outsider, and.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I I don't think he has the cajones Trump does.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I think I've been really impressed with him so far,
but I'm withholding judgment because I just don't know enoughing.
One thing I don't want to do is say something
on something I know nothing about.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The things I've seen from JD. Vance, I've been.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Really impressed, and I'll tell you, I'll shock you at
this one. You know, I've been impressed with Marco Rubio. Yeah,
and I used to not be impressed with him, but
I tell you what, he's done a very good job
in his multiple roles that I've seen firsthand.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
He stepped up.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
He has stepped up, and I haven't been a fan
of his, So I mean when I say that, I
mean listen.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And this is something a lot of people don't realize.
There's a difference.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Between being a legislator and being an executive. And when
Rubio got out of being a legislator and started being
an executive, he.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's who he is. He's not a legislator. I've been
very impressed.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I have a reason to say that.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
So, you know, the sad thing is I don't see
the administration course correctly fast enough.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
But I'm praying for man.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, Trump is early on in that first hundred days,
I I've felt a sense of urgency from the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I don't get my micros off. I don't even know
if I was dead for all that time you are.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But you know, there's a sense of urgency during the
first one hundred days. But I feel like a lot
of that has faded.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, it's not that it's a sense of urgency, it's
a sense of delegated responsibility and where is it hitting
a roadblock? And President Trump is only one person. He's
can't you can't keep that everything. You can't keep that
pace up forever. I mean, it'll we'll kill you, but
it'll it'll wear you down. But the thing is you
(16:57):
have to have people around you that can execute my ball.
Call them the GSD, guys that get stuff done.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
They didn't use the word stuff. But so President Trump
knows what he wants to do. I think he intuitively understands.
There are a lot of leagues. I think he intuitively
understands he's got a problem with the intelligence community, but
they're not being addressed.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think he's assigning it to people.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And my understanding in DC is they now are calling
a meeting as an operational event, meaning well we met
on it, this is what we came up with.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And I'm not sure leaks are the big problem. I
think the big problem is people actively working against the president.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well they are, but they have to.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The way they're working against the president is to understand
what he's doing and to.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Block it off.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean, I've seen this with General Flynn and some
other people that have tried to really help the president,
and you have people actively working inside his inner circle
to keep General Flynn, some other people that I work with,
even myself from speaking to him. Oh you don't want
(18:11):
to talk to them, You start a whisper campaign. That's
the way they do it. They kill it with a
whisper campaign. And so he's not getting the right information.
And you know, you can only try.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
And don't underestimate the power of a whisper campaign in
D's that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You even even locally.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh yeah, you know, they go what I can't really
say what's going on, but you know what I mean
with that person? Okay, yeah, so it just could the
country could get you know, destroyed.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
But that's you do what you can.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But man, I apologize. I'm gonna have to leave a
little early today. I've got I've got to actually work.
You've got Mondays are brutal for me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You got somebody you got to make beautiful again. You know,
I have to see patients and plastic surgery patients.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, but we do reconstruction too, but we do a
lot of cosmetics. And hey, you know what, as you
get older, you look at that as reconstruction for the soul.
It's people are like, what's this? Why are my eyelids
like this? Or why is my neck like this? And
oh yeah, and I'm sure the other plastic surgeons in
(19:34):
town see the same thing. I mean, when you've had
children as a woman and your body gets all torn
up and you get a mommy makeover. The most common
thing we hear is I feel like a woman again,
and that's awesome. Men and women we do faces on
and they're like, oh good. No, I look like I feel,
you know, my mind feels young. But I look at myself,
(19:57):
I'm like, who is.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
That my problem is?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I look like I feel we all can be. But
I mean it's like we do a lot of that.
We do a lot of wellness stuff too.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I've been really getting into.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
These life wave patches that they helped me a ton,
So I'm it's a it's a fascinating technology that's not me.
It's it works medically, but it's not a medical technology.
It reflects your bodies on light at certain areas. And
I was very skeptical till I used them and got
thirty more degrees of rotation in my shoulder than I've
ever had in a decade, and I was like, I'm sold.
(20:36):
So now I'm putting on my patients and I'm seeing
really cool the infrared light. No, No, they're they're like, look,
they're just they're patches that they go on your body
over certain points. They reflect your light, natural light back
to It's a technology. It's a billion dollar company, so
I think there's something to it. But yeah, I've been
(20:57):
I'm sold. I mean, I feel so much better. They
stimulate your natural stem cells and people are like, oh, yeah, right, whatever.
But I was skeptical till I used them, and now
I'm not skeptical anymore. Trying I think, yeah, I mean
they can help your liver. I mean they have all
different types and it sounds farcical, but it's not, and
(21:20):
the science is actually there. It's the same thing people
use phototherapy, but this is using your body's on light
because your body emits light.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And I've talked to a lot of doctors.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And the reason I found out about him is a
good friend of mine who's had childhood arthritis forever, juvenile arthritis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
He can never wear a watch. You call me one
day he goes, I'm where in a watch? I go how?
And he goes, he told me about these patches. I go,
how long did it take? He goes a week? Well,
and I'm like okay.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
So then I start to and I'm still skeptical, right,
but I order some and I start using them, and
I go to the physical therapist. He stretches out my
shoulder for me once a week and she goes, what
have you done?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I go, what do you mean? She goes, I'm thirty degree.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I'm like, you have normal rotation and show you've never
had that in ten years?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like oh cool, yeah, yeah, So I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You know, it's it's it's something that I've really I'm
learning a lot about and I'm I'm going to be
a big promoter of it with my patients because I
think it works.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well. There you go. Well listen, man, thanks for having me, Bro.
I appreciate it. I love hanging out with you, and
we will. I'll see about if.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Marshall hasn't gotten this to put up on it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Ever ever, it's probably my ever ever.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It is my producer for my podcast, A Scalpel, and
I'm sure he's I actually let him know this time,
so I'm sure he was up recording it and it
was listening.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So thank you, Evert.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But it's it's a lot of fun in here, Blake,
because you have such you have so much experience in Washington, DC.
I don't think the community understands your breath and knowledge
of the legislative process, and it brings a lot to
the table. And I know you've been struggling with some
health issues and I'm praying for you on all those
because we're having a lot of faith that you're going
(23:06):
to feel better. But you do a great job, and
it's a lot of fun to come on and talk
to you because you always have insight and you understand
a lot people do not realize. I mean, because I
was when I went to d C. You were there
as a congressman. You and I met for dinner one
night and I was working in the West Wing and
You're like, oh, you're gonna hate it, and I'm like,
(23:27):
you're right, but it's you and I both love the city, yep.
And we want to see Corpus be successful. And if
the people want Corpus to be successful, they're going to
start having to get over themselves and start working for
the community. And that's a hard thing to do, I mean,
because we're naturally selfish as people.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
But it can be done. And we don't trust anybody.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Now well for good reason. I mean, there's been a
lot of really sketchy deals.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I mean, i've seen them for I've seen city city
staff and the city attorneys just turn RFPs on their
head to get them to people.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And I just was like, Okay, I don't have time
to mess with this. I'll just go do something else.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
And you know, Eric and I spend time up in Montana,
and a lot of times we think, do we need
to move to Montana?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But we love Corpus, We love South Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
This is our home and we would just like to
see the city become what we all know it can be.
We're cursed with potential, as I like to say, Well,
I mean, look, we're a metropolitan area on the We're
the only metropolitan area on the coast in the state
of Texas. Let that sink in. And we were the
(24:38):
same size in the nineties as Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah. But and people like, well they have the hill Country,
Well we have the beach. I'll take the beach over
the hill country. I like both. And you can drive
back and forth. But and there's not a lot of
water in those lakes up in the hill Country right now.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But the key to this is we have to have community.
We have to have strong churches, you know, find find
your tribe and go. We have to have strong families,
we have strong education, and we need to we need
to speak truth and we need uh. The people that
are not delivering, put someone else in there. If they
don't deliver, get them out, put someone else in there.
(25:18):
It's it's it's It shouldn't be a lifetime vocation in
city government. It should be it should be you're there
to serve. And the same thing with with nationally too.
But we shall see. I still, I still, I'm long
on Corpus. I think we have a great medical community.
There's wonderful doctors here and so Overmon's one of my
famous I send him a lot of favorites. I send
(25:39):
him a lot of patients. We're blessed to have him.
And you know, we just have to. I'd like to
see us get back to simpler times. But the answer
to every question is not more money and that, and
we're going to be forced into that as a nation
one way or another.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Now, look at usaid, it's nothing but a slush fund
for a lot of things. Yeh, look at the money
that's going out. I mean, look at the hundreds of
millions of dollars that are being spent on things that
have nothing to do with United States, our security or
anything else. And a lot of this money, billions and
(00:43):
I'm talking hundreds of billions, probably trillion dollars have disappeared
and we don't know where it is, which means your
taxes have gone for your lifetime. You're working your lifetime
supporting something that no one even knows what it is
or if it even went to the government. It didn't
support a road, it didn't support a bridge, it didn't
support a military person. It just disappeared in the ether.
(01:07):
That pisses you off as an American.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, it makes you wonder and the whole us A.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
I d I go back to something I learned in
high school.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You can't buy friends.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
They're not buying friends, they're they're they're they're they're laundering money.
They say they're buying friends. Oh, we're using it at
this country. You know why they go to these crazy
countries and give them money, because because they're kleptocracies, and
then money comes back. They know the washing mechanisms. Look,
I mean, I'll predict something here. I think Hillary's preparing
(01:41):
another run. I think she's she's putting away money, recruiting donors.
She may or may not run, but I think she's
thinking about it and and moving in that direction.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'll say something else.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I think that there are some former heads of c
I A a specific one under Obama that is working
hard against this.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
And no one has a handle on that. And he's
still there.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He's not he's not there, but he's actively working against him.
And he's got people inside that he can either control
or get to use. I mean, look, the agency's full
of black money, unaccountable money, and they know where it is.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Here's a sad thing.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
The people that are actually trying to help the president
can't get a dime, and the people that are working
against the president have unlimited funds. And then if you
try to get to the president and speak to him
about it, you're blocked by the gatekeepers who don't want
any of this information to get to the president because
how do we know if it's true or not.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
This is going to be what you're dealing with right now. Break.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I think I've said this before, a strategic and comprehension.
People are like, well, that couldn't happen. Well, last time
we had strategic incomprehension was right before nine to eleven.
All the dots were there, they were put together, especially
by a guy in the agency who briefed the people
in the White House. They knew that this was a possibility.
And when George Bush was told about nine to eleven,
(03:02):
he's talking to that small group of kids, and that
look on his face wasn't of shock, it was.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Oh my gosh, they were right. People don't understand that.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
And this texture is a good question for Keith, what
can we do as citizens to help America?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, my friend General Flint always says local impact, national consequence.
So as citizens were the word citizen back when in
the founding meant co sovereign because we were getting away
from a king and we were citizens. We're co sovereigns,
you know. So you have to be involved in your community.
(03:41):
You have to be actively involved, which means you may
have to blackwalk. You may have to get out and
try to get the right people into the city council,
bring the right pressure to bear. Everyone should get on,
get good people on your school board and get this
DEI crap out of there. Start holding local school districts accountable.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
It starts with CCISD got a C rating for schools
that's criminal in my book. For the amount of money
we pay flower Bluff with half the school taxes, we
have got to be So.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
What's the difference?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I mean, you know, you have a look at the
Teachers' union. May want to start there, you may you
need to look at what what's the goal of your
school district? Is your school district's goal to implement the
National Teacher Union agenda?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is your school district goal to implement DEI?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Or is the school district's goal to educate children to
be successful? I mean, how tied is the school district
to the craft Training Center? I mean, not every kid
is going to go to college, nor should they. I
mean some of my children in college, some of them aren't.
College is an absolute waste of time and money unless
you need college for the next step and what you're
(04:59):
going to do in your career.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Full stop. You don't need to go to college for
the sake of college.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
And going to college to get a degree, and you know,
ethnic Women's studies is I'm sorry, it's not a degree
that's going to get you a job. If you want
to pay for it and get that degree, great, don't
take out a loan for it, because you're never going to.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Get One of the things Heritage Foundation was always kind
of talking about when I was in Washington was the
student loan program ought to be a market based where
if you were going to get an MIT engineering degree,
you're going to pay less than somebody getting a less valuable.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Degrees to be like that, especially like I didn't. I
was on scholarship for college, but I got loans for
med school, and you could get really low interest loans
because they knew they were going to get it back.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I mean, you're going to be a doctor. They're confidence.
And that was before doctors quit making any money.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Well, that was before the doctors were co opted into
a larger system. I mean it's doctors can still make
a living, but nothing like they used to and nothing
time value money wise. As far as being pushed, I mean,
doctors spend four years in college and they have to
study hard, they have to give up certain things to
make grades than four years in med school. Although now
(06:17):
we have a lot of med schools, a lot more
than I mean, it's exponentially more than when I went to.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Well, we have a lot more people needing medical care,
though well do.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
We or do we or or a better question is
we have more bureaucratic friction into medical care.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
So then you have residency.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Well, they've changed the rules in residency where you know
how you can only work x amount of hours. A
lot of guys are coming out they're not adequately trained,
so they have to go back as junior faculty to
get the training they need, especially surgically, and then they
go into the real world.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
So you're like.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Thirty two, thirty three years old before you're making any
syre what you would consider important money six figures plus
unless you're moonlighting. And it's difficult, and people think doctors
are rich. No they're not, but they do spend a
lot of time. They can be, but they have to
work for their money. I mean, it's not given to them.
It's not a government subsidy. But medicine in general, I
(07:13):
mean anything that gets too big bureaucratically can cause problems.
And I've been studying this since I got out of
residency in ninety seven. Is you have to look at
the amount of money and the healthcare dollar that goes
to actual healthcare, and I would put it to you
it's probably less than twenty five percent goes to the
point of care, and so it's going to electronic medical
(07:35):
record fees. It's going to you know, hiring extra people
so you can when you take insurance, you have to
refer people. You have to hire someone now to do
the referrals because you can't just do them.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Anymore like you used to.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
A lot of times, when you write a prescription, they
want a peer review on that prescription, or they want
you to check a bunch of boxes and sit down
at a computer to prove a medication that someone's been
taking their higher life and they need to they're taking
the medical decision making away from the doctor and they're
giving it to a bureaucrat at a box checker.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And it's costing more in medicine.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
All in an effort to save money, when in fact
it's actually costing money and I'll save it.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
The only money is being saved is money to the
insurance companies are costing pharmaceutical company.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Pharmaceutical companies are the pharmaceutic pharmacy benefit managers, the PBMs.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I mean, these people are making more money. Doctors aren't.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
And so what happens is doctors are getting burned out
or they're being forced into these corporate type practices with
these bait and switched deals, especially in primary care.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
See it's hard to find a primary care. I think
we're one.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Of the few privately held urgent care systems left and
we have two clinics. We have one importantly and one
on SPID. And it's it's been a slog I mean,
every time you have to switch to a new EMR
and go to a new billing system, you're at the
mercy of these large conglomerates, and a lot of them don't.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Number one and number two, you know they'll get to
you when they get to you, and you can't do
anything about it. And so I mean, insurance companies can decide,
you know, we're not going to pay claims for a
few weeks, and people say, oh, that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, it does. But it's it's just and there people.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
There, and the amount of money associated with that two
or three weeks of holding on to that money, it
is a lot of money and interest.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Oh yeah, well, so what you what you see is
they're riding the float. They're they're taking like the EMR,
we don't have a choice.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
They have to.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
They take all the money, they put it in a
lock box, it sits there for a few days, and
then they release it to us. What's it doing those
few days sitting in a lock box? They're in sweep
accounts gaining interest, and they're doing it to all the
doctors and so they're making millions in interest every day
off of your money. And there's nothing you can do
about it because if you complain, then how are you
(09:56):
going to make.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Any money at all? They control your entire practice.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah, it's it's hey, you know what people are getting
what they what they asked for. It's just not going
to be what they thought it was going to be.
I mean there are days that I just want to like,
go forget. I mean, I love my plastic surgery practice
because it's all paid up front.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Third days and events, and it's to some degree a racket.
My liver transplant team wants me to have a second heartcat,
which doctor Silverman says, I don't need. If you don't
get it, you're not gonna get a liver.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I mean, look, a lot of this is a lot
of this is medicine by algorithm, and which will work
for most people but not for all people. That's why
medicine is both a science and an art. And people
aren't paying attention. They're not They're they decided, you know,
docs worse.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Companies wanted to all be AI. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Well, if it was up to AI, everyone would have
been vaccinated for COVID and then you'd have earned more problems.
I mean, you do people do realize that COVID it's
now shown that Advisor just lied about their Phase three trials.
Has anyone been held accountable? No, I mean there's I mean,
if you dig down into the bowels of COVID and
(11:27):
what people are saying now they've come out and said,
oh I've remectin works. How many times did CBS and
Walgreens refuse to fill and I remect the script there
had COVID was the largest transfer of wealth and the
largest destruction of human lives and capital that that we've had.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
In our lifetime.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And no one is being held accountable.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
And no, nothing, no, and and Fauccia is just prants
and our the world.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Fauci's worth about eight hundred million. Now, I mean Fauci,
I don't know if he's got prancing would be a
good word. He's kind of like Lord Farquaad. I mean,
all the money in the world's never going to make
him tall.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, but you.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Know he doesn't. Again, there's no accountability. And here's a problem.
When there's no accountability, these kind of things will happen again.
And I get it when it first happened, we were
given bad information, but this was a serious information operation
or a covert action against the American people, and there's
been no explanation or accountability. He can't survive as a
(12:37):
nation in a society.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
Yeah, I believe my whole heart that this was intentional
from China.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It was intentional from a lot of places. Ralph Barrick
it was intentional.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
From Anthony Fauci, was gain a function testing which they
now admit to. From EcoHealth Alliance and Peter Daseik, it
was intentional from a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Wasn't just China. I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
The BSL four labs were having leaked problems when they
were having pathogens get out back, then why were we
doing research on this?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Gain of function?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Was outlawed in our I mean there's like a law
against it, and we were doing it and DD was
funding it. This is the thing when you're such a
big organization, there's dark money floating around and it can
get the things like COVID, and people are like, well,
what could happen?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I don't know. Look what happened with covid.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Blake, You and I both remember nine to eleven we
were on Jim's show. Well, the deficit during that time
was was in the billions. Now it's in the double
digit trillions, a mere twenty four years later. But with
spending more money, are we better for it? Are we
(13:52):
healthier for it?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:55):
As our nation safer for it?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I mean when you're put when you're tax starars.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Are putting up illegal aliens in four star hotels in
New York City. There's probably a problem there, but no one,
No one wants to talk about it. It's not happening anymore.
You know, we're moving on. Not well, Okay, so we'll
repeat it again another time. I mean, President Trump has
(14:21):
four years. What happens after that? I mean we if
we don't start laying Trump, Trump is a Trump is
a one of a kind. I mean, yeah, I don't
have anything against Vans.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I think Jad's super smart. I think he's but he's
not an outsider, and.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
I I don't think he has the cajones Trump does.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
I think I've been really impressed with him so far,
but I'm withholding judgment because I just don't know enoughing.
One thing I don't want to do is say something
on something I know nothing about.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
The things I've seen from JD. Vance, I've been.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Really impressed, and I'll tell you, I'll shock you at
this one. You know, I've been impressed with Marco Rubio. Yeah,
and I used to not be impressed with him, but
I tell you what, he's done a very good job
in his multiple roles that I've seen firsthand.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
He stepped up.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
He has stepped up, and I haven't been a fan
of his, So I mean when I say that, I
mean listen.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
And this is something a lot of people don't realize.
There's a difference.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Between being a legislator and being an executive. And when
Rubio got out of being a legislator and started being
an executive, he.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That's who he is. He's not a legislator. I've been
very impressed.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I have a reason to say that.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
So, you know, the sad thing is I don't see
the administration course correctly fast enough.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
But I'm praying for man.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Yeah, Trump is early on in that first hundred days,
I I've felt a sense of urgency from the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I don't get my micros off. I don't even know
if I was dead for all that time you are.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But you know, there's a sense of urgency during the
first one hundred days. But I feel like a lot
of that has faded.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Well, it's not that it's a sense of urgency, it's
a sense of delegated responsibility and where is it hitting
a roadblock? And President Trump is only one person. He's
can't you can't keep that everything. You can't keep that
pace up forever. I mean, it'll we'll kill you, but
it'll it'll wear you down. But the thing is you
(16:57):
have to have people around you that can execute my ball.
Call them the GSD, guys that get stuff done.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
They didn't use the word stuff. But so President Trump
knows what he wants to do. I think he intuitively understands.
There are a lot of leagues. I think he intuitively
understands he's got a problem with the intelligence community, but
they're not being addressed.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think he's assigning it to people.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
And my understanding in DC is they now are calling
a meeting as an operational event, meaning well we met
on it, this is what we came up with.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
And I'm not sure leaks are the big problem. I
think the big problem is people actively working against the president.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Well they are, but they have to.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
The way they're working against the president is to understand
what he's doing and to.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Block it off.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I mean, I've seen this with General Flynn and some
other people that have tried to really help the president,
and you have people actively working inside his inner circle
to keep General Flynn, some other people that I work with,
even myself from speaking to him. Oh you don't want
(18:11):
to talk to them, You start a whisper campaign. That's
the way they do it. They kill it with a
whisper campaign. And so he's not getting the right information.
And you know, you can only try.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
And don't underestimate the power of a whisper campaign in
D's that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You even even locally.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh yeah, you know, they go what I can't really
say what's going on, but you know what I mean
with that person? Okay, yeah, so it just could the
country could get you know, destroyed.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
But that's you do what you can.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
But man, I apologize. I'm gonna have to leave a
little early today. I've got I've got to actually work.
You've got Mondays are brutal for me.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You got somebody you got to make beautiful again. You know,
I have to see patients and plastic surgery patients.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah, but we do reconstruction too, but we do a
lot of cosmetics. And hey, you know what, as you
get older, you look at that as reconstruction for the soul.
It's people are like, what's this? Why are my eyelids
like this? Or why is my neck like this? And
oh yeah, and I'm sure the other plastic surgeons in
(19:34):
town see the same thing. I mean, when you've had
children as a woman and your body gets all torn
up and you get a mommy makeover. The most common
thing we hear is I feel like a woman again,
and that's awesome. Men and women we do faces on
and they're like, oh good. No, I look like I feel,
you know, my mind feels young. But I look at myself,
(19:57):
I'm like, who is.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
That my problem is?
Speaker 3 (19:59):
I look like I feel we all can be. But
I mean it's like we do a lot of that.
We do a lot of wellness stuff too.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I've been really getting into.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
These life wave patches that they helped me a ton,
So I'm it's a it's a fascinating technology that's not me.
It's it works medically, but it's not a medical technology.
It reflects your bodies on light at certain areas. And
I was very skeptical till I used them and got
thirty more degrees of rotation in my shoulder than I've
ever had in a decade, and I was like, I'm sold.
(20:36):
So now I'm putting on my patients and I'm seeing
really cool the infrared light. No, No, they're they're like, look,
they're just they're patches that they go on your body
over certain points. They reflect your light, natural light back
to It's a technology. It's a billion dollar company, so
I think there's something to it. But yeah, I've been
(20:57):
I'm sold. I mean, I feel so much better. They
stimulate your natural stem cells and people are like, oh, yeah, right, whatever.
But I was skeptical till I used them, and now
I'm not skeptical anymore. Trying I think, yeah, I mean
they can help your liver. I mean they have all
different types and it sounds farcical, but it's not, and
(21:20):
the science is actually there. It's the same thing people
use phototherapy, but this is using your body's on light
because your body emits light.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And I've talked to a lot of doctors.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
And the reason I found out about him is a
good friend of mine who's had childhood arthritis forever, juvenile arthritis.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
He can never wear a watch. You call me one
day he goes, I'm where in a watch? I go how?
And he goes, he told me about these patches. I go,
how long did it take? He goes a week? Well,
and I'm like okay.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
So then I start to and I'm still skeptical, right,
but I order some and I start using them, and
I go to the physical therapist. He stretches out my
shoulder for me once a week and she goes, what
have you done?
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I go, what do you mean? She goes, I'm thirty degree.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
I'm like, you have normal rotation and show you've never
had that in ten years?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Like oh cool, yeah, yeah, So I mean.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
You know, it's it's it's something that I've really I'm
learning a lot about and I'm I'm going to be
a big promoter of it with my patients because I
think it works.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well. There you go. Well listen, man, thanks for having me, Bro.
I appreciate it. I love hanging out with you, and
we will. I'll see about if.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
Marshall hasn't gotten this to put up on it.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Ever ever, it's probably my ever ever.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It is my producer for my podcast, A Scalpel, and
I'm sure he's I actually let him know this time,
so I'm sure he was up recording it and it
was listening.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So thank you, Evert.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
But it's it's a lot of fun in here, Blake,
because you have such you have so much experience in Washington, DC.
I don't think the community understands your breath and knowledge
of the legislative process, and it brings a lot to
the table. And I know you've been struggling with some
health issues and I'm praying for you on all those
because we're having a lot of faith that you're going
(23:06):
to feel better. But you do a great job, and
it's a lot of fun to come on and talk
to you because you always have insight and you understand
a lot people do not realize. I mean, because I
was when I went to d C. You were there
as a congressman. You and I met for dinner one
night and I was working in the West Wing and
You're like, oh, you're gonna hate it, and I'm like,
(23:27):
you're right, but it's you and I both love the city, yep.
And we want to see Corpus be successful. And if
the people want Corpus to be successful, they're going to
start having to get over themselves and start working for
the community. And that's a hard thing to do, I mean,
because we're naturally selfish as people.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
But it can be done. And we don't trust anybody.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Now well for good reason. I mean, there's been a
lot of really sketchy deals.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I've seen them.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I mean, i've seen them for I've seen city city
staff and the city attorneys just turn RFPs on their
head to get them to people.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
And I just was like, Okay, I don't have time
to mess with this. I'll just go do something else.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
And you know, Eric and I spend time up in Montana,
and a lot of times we think, do we need
to move to Montana?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
But we love Corpus, We love South Texas.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
This is our home and we would just like to
see the city become what we all know it can be.
We're cursed with potential, as I like to say, Well,
I mean, look, we're a metropolitan area on the We're
the only metropolitan area on the coast in the state
of Texas. Let that sink in. And we were the
(24:38):
same size in the nineties as Austin.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah. But and people like, well they have the hill Country,
Well we have the beach. I'll take the beach over
the hill country. I like both. And you can drive
back and forth. But and there's not a lot of
water in those lakes up in the hill Country right now.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
But the key to this is we have to have community.
We have to have strong churches, you know, find find
your tribe and go. We have to have strong families,
we have strong education, and we need to we need
to speak truth and we need uh. The people that
are not delivering, put someone else in there. If they
don't deliver, get them out, put someone else in there.
(25:18):
It's it's it's It shouldn't be a lifetime vocation in
city government. It should be it should be you're there
to serve. And the same thing with with nationally too.
But we shall see. I still, I still, I'm long
on Corpus. I think we have a great medical community.
There's wonderful doctors here and so Overmon's one of my
famous I send him a lot of favorites. I send
(25:39):
him a lot of patients. We're blessed to have him.
And you know, we just have to. I'd like to
see us get back to simpler times. But the answer
to every question is not more money and that, and
we're going to be forced into that as a nation
one way or another.
