Twenty twenty four Election Headquarters. Our country's just falling apart and we need a
major change. Fifty five KRZ the talk station eight five. Here at fifty
five KRCD talk station, Happy as I can be. Got it one full
hour in studio. Congress and brad Winstrop congresson Winstrip, not at the RNC.
He is here. He's got more important things to do. I'm just
kidding. I know you've got a whole 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 hit the ground running with the attemptive assassination of
Donald Trump over the weekend and the cold. I mean, every morning I
wake up to something that makes it look even worse than the day before,
by way of failure of the US United States Secret Service. Oh, the
roof had too much of a slope, Congressman, That's why no one was
perched up there? Are you kidding me? 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 be here. Yeah, I've spent the
last couple of days in DC. I've got this Pandemic Commission, if you
will, the Pandemic Committee that I chair, and we've got to get our
report done by the end of the year. And so I was up there
with staff putting everything together. We've had so many letters and transcribed interviews,
hearings, and it's on everything to do with the pandemic. So we're pulling
that together and we can talk about that more late later in the show,
if you want to. Yeah, and fair enough, that was what our
plan was. But again, you're the 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 eager to talk about this situation. One.
We obviously need investigation. I'm an intelligence committee. I tried to give
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. I was at a place where we were
attacked three four times a week, and there was a lot of sniper fire
going on in our region while I was in Iraq, And so you're always
looking to where the possible sites could could be. You know, you should
be able to stand where the president is going to be standing and take a
look around and say that's a potential site. That's a potential site. The
slope of the roof. You know, you that's comical. I mean,
if it wasn't so sad, a pathetic, apathetic, we would all it
would be like a joke like she was. 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 and did end the life of that very brave
firefighter who tried to was there just to 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 ladder yep, and so you may have her
yes too, But he had to duck because the guy took a you know,
aim at him, and it's just his head exposed at that point.
So I can understand that, But why not a more robust response, you
know, once that that was seen, I don't know. But then I
guess he turned and fired on Trump right away. Maybe that helped save Trump's
life because he didn't have time to maybe aim as well as he would have
liked to have aimed. I don't know. Trump turned his head just at
the right moment, and tell if you watch that, it's undeniable that he
just just the moment he turned his head to look at that that that prompter,
that's when that shot rang out and hit him in the ear. Because
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 it would have been an incredibly ugly, ugly
seeing. I do want to give credit to the to the firefighter who you
know, protected his child, and the way the family has responded. You
know, the daughter said, you know, I had the best dad in
the world, and you know, the wife said, he'd do it all
over again. I mean, pretty impressive, wellpressive display of heroism. I
mean, rightfully, so Trump gets credit for standing in defiance after being shot
when he still could have been under under fire. I mean, they didn't
have that situation secured yet, they didn't know if there were more shooters out
there. And maybe some people could say it was a dumb thing for him
to stand up, but it was a defiant, very brave act. One
could say was uplifting for the crowd. It was a symbol of, you
know, his strength. But then you've got the firefighter who literally lost his
life doing exactly what the Secret Service is paid to do in defense of the
president or, as this case is, the former president, and the president
has recognized that, oh heroism of those that took a hit through all of
this, and they're true patriots in my mind for sure. But you know,
it's like a lot of things. I had one interview like, you
know, well, what do we do now? This is like right afterwards,
I said, we drive on. I said it's the baseball shooting.
Yeah, you know, we got together right after that and said, I'll
be darned if we're going to be deterred and not play that game. We're
playing that game, right, and that's what most Americans would do. Most
Americans would do, and that's been the history of America. We don't we
take a hit, we get back up, 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 bulletproof glass and you know, always surroundings.
It's like, no, that is not 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. Twenty four to seventy What kind of life would
that be? Anyway? You don't want to give them that satisfy? No,
absolutely not, absolutely not. Well, I just this call for unity
when you hear it from the Democrats, and you know, I know Republicans
are guilty of divisive comments and statements as well, but it's sort of when
you look at the political landscape and the 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 any possible lines, sexuality lines, school choice
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 from anybody on that sort of Alexandria Casio Cortez
part of the camp is just nonsensical considering it flies in the face of what
they're looking for, which is to divide us all. Yeah, there really
does seem to be the goal of so 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 common sense things I think. You know,
it's easy sometimes to get Democrats on board with some of your bills, because
American bills now they are part of conservative values, but I sell them as
this is good for America and here's why. 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 the ones you see on TV. Yeah,
and you know, I got to asked one time, you know, how
do we calm down some of the chaos. And I said, well,
and this was with someone in the media, and I said, well,
it would be nice if the media paid more attention to those that actually get
things done than those that never get anything done but do a lot of talking
and spend a lot of time in front of the camera. Yeah, Squeaky
Wheel gets agrees, especially in media. The more batcrap and saying your comments
or viewpoint, it's more likely it is. It's going to be broadcast over
and over again. I think you're going to get more interviews. Yeah,
And but I will say this, you know, Yeah, we've got people
on our side with a lot of rhetoric. It's usually not violent in nature.
No, it's not. Theirs is violent in nature. You know,
you saw get in there. You've seen this for years. Go ahead,
get out there, get in their face, go to their homes, interrupt
them at dinner exactly. You know, bring a weapon to the home of
a Supreme Court justice. I mean, these are the things you see happening.
And you take a young, impressionable kid twenty years old, if what
he's hearing is that Donald Trump is a person who's a dictator. Donald Trump
is going to end democracy and you may be even getting that in school today.
That's the problem. And so what they're not talking about in school is
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 sponsor of terror in the world. President Trump
took out Sulimani, who's responsible for killing so many Americans, especially during our
war in Iraq. I saw a firsthand. Do they say that President Trump
stood up to President ch and put economic pressure on him. Did they say
that the leader of North Korea quit firing missiles under President Trump's leadership? Do
they point out that Putin didn't go into to Ukraine under President Trump but he
did under Obama and Biden? Or his 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 that stands out more than anything. You know,
Barack Obama gets elected and he's given the 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 countries and solidified some stability for Israel, and
nobody gives it. Nobody even mentions that 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 tell me who's the uniter. Tell me who
can actually bring everyone together and to the table. But but but but but
evil orange man races xenophobe, homophobe, misogynists. But but but but let
the pause from it. We'll bring Congressman once for back. He's got some
things to talk about, the China information, looking into the COVID. We're
going to talk about DEI in medical school, but maybe even more broadly than
that, among other conversation topics with Congressman 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 forward to two between Mason and Loven and
my favorite gun shop. It'll be yours too. Outstanding people. You're gonna
get great service there. They'll treat you 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 great equalizer. They can help you find one
that's perfectly suited to your needs. And of course the training classes is I
like to point out from the I've never 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, group lessons, and concealed Carrie. If
you're traveling out of state and you want to travel with your firearm, concealed
carry pass is our license is necessary in many states, so you don't want
to leave home without it. Plus you're going to learn a lot of really
solid information taking that class one of the many classes they offer at twenty two
three, located on Route forty two between Mason and Levin. Until Wendy and

twenty four Paris Olympics intimacy, those special talkstation. Happy Wednesday to you,
of course, always happy when Congressman went brad Winstrips in studio for a full
hour. And that's what we're doing right now with Congress and winstrip got to
get your thoughts in comments about JD. Vance. Of course, local boy
made it big. He's now the vice 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 twenty sixteen, you know Nazi and you know
city he'd rather vote for Hillary Clinton or something along those lines. Clearly he
has made amends with Donald Trump since Trump selected him, and an amazing opportunity.
What a backbench. We laugh at the Democrats and their struggles to find
anyone who could substitute Joe Biden out He had probably six really solid potentials for
vice presidential choice. And what with Jadvans. What's your reaction to that?
Well, I think it's a good choice. I like JD. JD impressed
me before I ever met him. When I read his book He'll Billy Elgy
and got to know about his life and then I met him a few times,
and then it was obvious he wanted to get involved with politics, and
he did, And when he ran for Senate, I wrote a piece about
why I was for him and why I thought he can bring so much to
the table. You know, at a young age of thirty nine, he's
got a lot of depth and breath to him and and the capability of being
compassionate understanding from just about any walk of 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 from welfare to Wall Street. I mean,
with a stop in the military in between, with the deployment and then law
school. He used as GI Bill the way you're supposed to to advance yourself.
Your military service is patriotic, but it also comes with a benefit that
you've earned. And he's just done all of these things. Those are life
experiences. And look, and I've said about going into office, is do
something else first before you go to office, exactly, And here's someone who
has but he's done a lot by thirty nine years old. Look, I
joined the military at thirty nine and just started my twenty five year career in
the military. Then, so it's pretty impressive what he has done, and
I think he can reach out to multiple generations because of his experiences and multiple
walks of life. Well, and you're right, I mean solid Who can
criticize someone who volunteered and served in the 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 excuse to stay in the same spot. Oh,
I grew up in a terrible family and my mom was a drug addict
and Helen, Hell, am I supposed to advance in the world when you
know I've I've been dealt this terrible hand. It's now Here's Cinderella story right
there as you off air, you commented on it. That's really what Jadvans
is and a great learning opportunity for people 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.
I'm glad to live in a country with safety nets. But they're not supposed
to be a hammock, as was one said, Right, and you know,
Democrats talk a lot about we got to tax the rich more, but
they don't really talk about any success in lifting people up out of poverty with
these programs. And that's what we've been 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 make it a path to something better. Well,
that's that welfare work for welfare program. You know, you have to
engage in some effort merely asking you to 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 than being stuck with the ubilical court of work.
And yet the Democrats, no, no, we can't have that.
That's right. And JD. Vance understands how that can happen. You know,
he didn't get where he got by winning a lottery ticket. No,
he actually worked his way out of there. He saw an opportunity for a
better life. And I think that that's a great example. And you know,
you talk about you know, he said things about Donald Trump. Look
I've had the experience, you know, some time times in my medical practice,
but definitely within politics where I may have thought one thing about somebody until
I got to know them. And that's the key. And I try in
Washington to not negotiate and do things through the press, because then you never
get to know the person that may be getting in the way of what you're
trying to accomplish. Reach out to them, get to know them. And
I think that's what happened with jd. Vance. They got to know each
other and realized, hmm, maybe it's not what I thought. And also
I think he probably had a chance to take a look at the policies that
Donald Trump put in place that were working and making America better. Right.
And remember when the most of these comments that people referred to happened was twenty
sixteen, before he had time to prove himself. And Donald Trump did not
come into that role with a clean slate. I mean, he was open
to criticism from Republicans and Democrats for a variety of different things, one of
which is Donald Trump really wasn't a Republican. He was a Donald trumpion,
right, right, That's what his life has always been based on. But
after four years he demonstrated that he moved away from it's all about me to
it's all about America. And I think that's what appeals most to people about
Trump. Well, he certainly isn't in this for him. No, I
know his life, and those are the better people in public service that I
see are those that don't need to be there. I say that always about
Congress. If Congress is the best job you could possibly ever have, you
probably shouldn't be there. Bouz, we'll break Congress with Winster back. We

talking about a variety of different topics. Of course, we talked about
the assassination attempt got JD. Vans out of the way in terms of you
you're astute observations on him. And now we pivot over to Congressman brad Winstrup.
What are you working on? Working on a lot of things, which
is in part why I'm not at the convention, because there's the NDAA come
up, and I'm working on some amendments that I think are going to be
very helpful to military medicine, and not only that, but better for our
troops. And some things that are not only better for our troops but for
our for our civilians, which are pretty interesting. But one of them that
I want to talk about, especially for our local audience, is an amendment
that would provide a starting point a trial to have a working relationship between the
military, between military medicine and civil civilian medicine. And so in particular,
we want to start with Wright Patterson Air Force Base and their military assets there
and the University of Cincinnati a Level one trauma center. But it's not just
trauma, it's an operation for basically what end goal or what endo Okay,
So if we were in a situation where you know, are wounded or are
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 you see has already engaged so much with the
military, it's a great place to start this kind of trial. And then
vice versa. I for our country is under attack and we have some more
casualties or more illness than we can handle. Can we engage directly with our
military healthcare system? Okay, well you're forward thinking on that. But what
frightens me about this is you're talking about right, Patterson Air Force Base,
University of Cincinnati. And I understand you. You see trauma center, they
see this kind of thing all the time, but these are domestic locations.
These are here. Are you suggesting that we may be facing a situation where
we have a whole bunch of casualties civilian 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 it showed what a bio weapon can do,
and certainly that was on our own soil, and so you have to be
prepared for that. But on the other front, you know, our casualties
don't always stay in theater, right, No, we evacuate them. And
so if we're doing evacuations of you know, thousands of troops, Okay,
where are we going to put them all? Our military treatment facilities aren't prepared
for that large of a number. So let's be prepared. Let's not find
ourselves in a situation like we did with COVID, not prepared for a pandemic.
Let's be prepared for a larger scale problem. Well, since, thankfully
the wars and conflicts we've been engaged in and thus far not been on our
soil other than our American military history, we understand that revolutionary warcutch sector.
But you know wounded in the Middle East, wounded that I meanly aren't they
taken to hospitals, say in Europe for example, closer venue, closer point
of caring for them, right, so we have cooperation agreements with them.
That's part of the step by step process. Well, let me let me
tell you we have a good evacuation system. We may need to make sure
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 them that 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 and then from lawn stool to Walter Reid place
like that, and this all happens within twenty four hours sometimes Brian so and
and the SEACAT system Critical Care Transport Team System, which they do some of
that training in a simulator at UC and I've been there for it. It's
a flying ICU and it's a pretty impressive system. And so we have that
system in place. You know, you want to get him out of theater
if their life is threatened, and get him home because part of your recovery
sometimes is very much helped if your family can be around them. Yeah,
I would imagine congresson winstrip And thanks for putting in the context of something that
I wasn't thinking of, which is of course like a pandemic. Well,

the talks station Congresman Brad weinster Fin Studio going through the issues, and we
certainly won't have time to get through all 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 heels of my conversation with retired Lieutenant Colonel Matthew
Lohmeyer the other day on his book Irresistible Revolution, Marxism, Goal of Conquest
and unmaking of the American Military. Uh, just a really eye opening book,
and the problems within the American military along these DEI lines. It's ruining
recruiting, it's ruining morale, elevating people who are not qualified to higher positions
because they in the appropriate check marks on the DEI boxes. This is destroying
our fighting power and our ability to recruit more people. Can you have in
the d n DAA a removal of any funding whatsoever or a prohibition on teaching
DEI or otherwise relying on DEI principles in 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 what we're working, Okay, and then you
know, the presidents sign it. And we've done efforts like this before the
president has signed. The problem is they keep doing it and we're catching them.
Just recently, somebody sent me a photo that they took or anything they
had they had things like National Right to life as well. I read that
this morning is a terrorist organized I saw the PowerPoint slide on the wall.
Now Fort Liberty, what was Fort Bragg? I mean, they just do
it anyway. So you know, I immediately got in touch with Personnel,
Chair of Armed Services Committee, and we're calling them in. It's got to
stop, and there has to be consequences to the people that get to continue
to do these things. And that goes across the board. Brian, you
know, used to be the military was the agency that where unethical was unlawful,
and they don't mess around, and in the other agencies they do whatever
they darn well please. Because the military has criminal liability called the UCMJ Uniform
Code of Military. The other agencies don't have that. We put that in
PISA reform. There's now criminal liability if you violate the standards of what should
be happening. So what we did, something like crossfire hurricane can never happen
again. And if it does, somebody's going to jail and and and certainly
losing their job rather than just walking off and being hired by CNN. So
that's the thing. So we're in that vein SOI DEI has now gone into
the medical schools, and so doctor Murphy and I doctor Winstrop. You know,
we have a bill that no more funding from metal schools that do DEI.
They're having people take an oath to this 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 wanted to be a doctor, so I went
to schools that would prepare me for that type of curriculum. But a lot
of people don't have that opportunity because they don't have a choice on where they
can go to school, and they end up going to schools that don't prepare
them for it. You can't turn twenty one and say, well, your
grades aren't very good and this and that, but because of who you are
and what you look like, we're going 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
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 you can 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 residency they told us, you know, we've
looked at your grades, we looked at your board scores, we've looked at
your recommendations. Now we want to know if you're a hard worker or not.
So in other words, you eliminated a lot of people based on the
academic part and didactic part and everything else. But now are you capable of
working hard? And do you have the skills to say, be a surgeon
and do this and that. That's what we're looking for in residency. You
do a pass fail system for as a residency director, you're in the dark.
You are in the dark about who you may want to recruit for your
program. That's frightening, isn't it? Though? And you know what,
I never in my career, and I could name several people of color,
etc. Women that are the most outstanding 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, but isn't that what's going to happen. Are
people going to want to know, well, is this a DEI doctor?
Really good? And so we did a press conference with this bill, and
you know, we doctor Murphy and I were being challenged and we had several
doctors out there in the press conference. We were being challenged on it.
He said, well, the numbers of certain groups, you know, all
this identity politics, number of certain groups aren't represented very well in medicine.
And you know, I said to one guy, I said, you don't
insist on on on this in in sports, you don't. You know,
I got it. I kind of got into it with EMMITTT. Smith on
one thing when he was asking what I'm doing for DEI for Intel in Ohio,
and I said, I'm going to make sure my district people know there's
job opportunities there and made the most meritorious, best candidate get the job.
Yeah, and you know, prepare yourself for it. You know, it's
like, but hey, did you do that for your offensive line? Are
you kidding me? You know His action was, well, that's just sports,
right, No, that wasn't emittt Smith himself. But that was another
guy where I brought that up, the guy who was at the press conference,
and I said, well, we have what about in sports, because
that's just sports. I said, yeah, the other's life and death.
That's why are you kidding me? You know, if the absolute best person
you know, you know, I tell you I wouldn't be able to pick
a Dei hier in medicine. And you know, if they're standing in the
line, although if my never met him before, doctor demands that I refer
to them by the gender pronouns they or 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 it was great. I don't know if you
know Burgess Owens. He's a congressman from Utah. Burgess Owens grew up in
the segregated South. He was one of the first to get a football scholarship
to a major college. He has a Super Bowl ring with it with the
Raiders. He wrote that he wrote a book called Liberalism, or How to
Turn Good Men into Weenies, whiners and whims, and he handed it to
this guy and his elitism. Because of 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 care that you need, you know,
because of your connections through your father. But the average person out there on
this threat, especially from like rural and underserved communities, good luck with that
duck with whoever they're in front of. Y Yeah, no choice and no
knowledge in the matter. That's possible. In Congressman back one more segment with
brad Winstrip after I mentioned Fast and Pro Roofing ultimate roofing company. Fast and
Pro because they're honest and they do superior work. What more can you want
from a roofing company. First off, you can trust them, which is
not something you can easily do in the roofing business. There's lots and lots
of unscrupulous roofers out there. The business is just like set up for ripping
people off because very few people inspect their 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 on the principle of honesty. You give people
a square deal, you tell them the right information, and you are not
going to have to worry about your business model and they'll give you the free
upgraded shingle Certainty Landmark Pro fifty years Shingle. If you're going for a shingle
replacement you need one, get the fifty years shingle. Talk about peace of
mind. But it's not just shingle rules, and it's not just residential roots.

copper work like custom metal works, siding, and all kinds of exterior projects.

Chuck Ingram on fifty five KRC the talk station, Hey fifty want fifty five
KRCD talk station Brian Thomas closing up the hour of commisson Brad, when's your
bread? Earlier you mentioned the coordinated efforts with the NDAA to get the hospital,
the private hospital systems and the military hospital systems coordinating so in case we
have a mass casualty event, which in which you interjected, or like a
COVID kind of thing, and I was like, wow, okay, but
you mentioned like a biological weapon is you know if you look at COVID as
a biological weapon. What kind of good is it to have a weapon that
literally kills your own population, which of course happened with China. We had
this conversation off air, and you mentioned 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 nineteen was a biological weapon. If they have
a biological weapons program in China, We've known this for years. They've talked
about it openly, and they talk about 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 through things like twenty three and meters which the
NA they get your DNA, so they may be able to potentially craft something
that could then just target certain DNA. Right, So you could create something
theoretically anyway that will target non Asian people. Right. This would be the
concern, right, that this is something you're capable of doing. Look,
gain of function research is risky. Doctor Fauci's even said that as far back
as twenty twelve, but he thought it was worth it. Personally, I
think we don't need to do that we have enough that we can do with
AI. If you want to look at existing viruses and try to predict what
they may become and how they could possibly become infectious to humans, we can
do that through AI. We really can modeling absolutely, and we know what
components of the virus make it more infectious to humans, so you know we
can do that, and we're doing I'm all for surveillance of things that could
be a potential pandemic or just even local illness, but to create something dangerous
like that is very concerning. And the Chinese are looking at those types of
technologies right and we're hoping to fund this on top of it. So not
only are we sending him money, but they are in the United States with
companies that are doing things that harbor our personal health information, not necessarily our
name, they don't even have to have 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 a bipartisan bill. It came out of the
China Commission, which Mike Gallagher was chairing. He left Congress and I took
over the bill and it's with another Democrat, ROJ Chris no Morthy who's on
Intelligence Committee with me. He understands these dangers and so we have a bill
will that will target these Chinese companies in the United States that they are not
getting any kind of funding from the United States of America. And ultimately we
need to do like what we've done with TikTok Is You've got if you want
to have this company here, you're going to have to sell it and to
an American interest because we can't have the CCP gaining all this information on us.
And those are the steps we have to take. Quite honestly, Brian,
we're a good ten years behind on this, and the sooner we do
this the better. Well that's true assessment, but it's the reality we were
living with today. And thankfully we have 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.
I know I'm wishing the best of luck when you're in your future endeavors,
but we've got several months before that kicks in, and i know I'm
going to have you back. At least I hope to have you back on
in the morning show between now and then. We'll do that, and maybe
afterwards too, we'll see. Oh I don't know what I'll be doing next.
Hell, they could hire you at CNN or Fox or something as a
as a political consultant. So you will continue to carry that that that that
weight with you, or that this street cred with you even after you're out
of office. So yes, I'll try to be in the fight. We'll
do that, and I hope you are. We need more people like you
in that fight. Eight fifty five folks, have a wonderful day. If
