00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:04.679
Washington, d C. Congressman Brad
Weinstrip is a soldier, also a US

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:10.240
Congressman, and a doctor and more. But Congressman Brad Weinstrip, I see

3
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.400
chaos reigning supreme. According to ABC
News, which is never wrong, that

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.760
there's ten of hard no Republicans no
matter what, which means Jim Jordan cannot

5
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:24.679
be elected or selected a speaker.
However, the vote is very close ongoing.

6
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.879
First of all, are you going
to vote for Congressman Jim Jordan?

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.519
And secondly, kind of play out
what's going to happen before we get on

8
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.039
to Israel. Well, I can't
predict all these things, unfortunately, because

9
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.840
we have a lot of independent minds. And really that's how the House Speaker

10
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.719
is. You know, the vote
for that, it usually occurs within the

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.079
conference. It's traditionally we make our
choice within our conference. And when we

12
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.719
hold the majority, we're at conference. It's been working together to advance the

13
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.679
conservative agenda for American people. Gain
the majority, and you know, is

14
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.200
everything I do, I'm going to
do what I believe is best for the

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.760
people I represent in the American people, and we got to pray for our

16
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.799
nation in the world. We got
work to do, and I want to

17
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.040
get back to work. Our conference
needs both Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan and

18
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:18.359
countless others if we're going to be
successful. And I had a conversation with

19
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.680
Jim Jordan today, you know,
he had he had said that we shouldn't

20
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.879
go to the floor until we have
two hundred and eighteen, and so we'll

21
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.040
see if he has a two hundred
and eighteen. I had discussed with him

22
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:38.079
issues that are important to me and
to my district and I think for the

23
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:42.519
whole country, and I said,
would really want your support if you're a

24
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:48.239
speaker on these particular items when it
comes to our national security, when it

25
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.840
comes to making us the healthiest nation
on the planet. As a doctor,

26
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:57.640
that's something I'm always working on.
We need to be able to exhibit peace

27
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.879
in this world through our strength,
and those are important things, as well

28
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.000
as continuing on with our investigations,
in particular for me, the investigation on

29
00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:13.000
the pandemic and origins of COVID and
how we manage it the next pandemic.

30
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.199
And he seemed to be on board, and I told him that I would

31
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.680
vote for him when we come up
at noon, and we'll see where things

32
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.280
go from there. ABC News is
reporting that there's ten hard nos. Is

33
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.120
that your understanding that he can't get
it on the first ballot, and how

34
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:34.360
ridiculous it would look to have multiple
ballots again, because you know, I

35
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.400
love conservatism, I'm normally a Republican, but from an outsider, it looks

36
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.319
like chaos and that instead of being
a party that can govern, it's a

37
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.919
party that wants to advocate and fight. From the outside looking in, it

38
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.639
looks really bad. Do you think
there's a sense in Congress among you Republicans

39
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:54.159
that this looks terrible to the world, especially now, It looks terrible for

40
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.360
a party that wants to have governance
when they advocate without governance. Do you

41
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.280
understand how badness looks? Yeah?
But I think what's important to note is

42
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.520
that it's a minority of the people
within our conference. Unfortunately. You know,

43
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:13.919
throughout this process, starting with the
motion to vacate and take out that

44
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:19.080
we elected Speaker of the House Kevin
McCarthy, and we have an earror margin,

45
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.039
but looked, as I was trying
to say before, traditionally we would

46
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.159
vote in conference. The only constituents
during that vote are the members of the

47
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.719
House. Of Representatives, not across
America, not necessarily a certain TV audience

48
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.479
or anything else. It's the members
that have to work with the speaker that

49
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.879
get the vote. Republicans and Democrats
get to vote on this. But in

50
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:46.080
conference, traditionally, what we've done
when we are a majority is we elect

51
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.439
our nominee and typically we would go
out in unison and vote for that nominee

52
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:57.360
and go to work. That's it. And that's not what happens anymore today,

53
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.439
and especially when it only takes a
few that will vote with Democrats for

54
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:06.159
someone else. And so that's what
we're up against. That's you know what

55
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:11.759
we saw with the motion to vacate. You have people that voted with Democrats

56
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.759
to take out Kevin McCarthy Republicans.
Yeah, so this is a situation we're

57
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.360
in. And you know, Willie, what I've tried to do since i've

58
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.079
been here is be a team builder. Work within our conference. We may

59
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.000
have differences, work through them,
try to be effective. Get things across

60
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.720
the finish line for the conservative things
across the finish line for the American people.

61
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.560
And quite frankly, when you look
at my record, we've done that

62
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:38.959
and I want to continue to do
that. So we need a speaker to

63
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.519
be able to do that. But
if we don't adhere to what was considered

64
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.079
the rules within our conference, it's
going to be a problem for a while.

65
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:55.480
And it's again it always seems to
be a certain few I get from

66
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:59.199
you that your crystal ball is a
bit cloudy. We'll see what happens later

67
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.279
this afternoon. And it looks bad, hopefully they can unite. If not

68
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:06.040
scalase Jordan's fine, you're going to
vote for Jordan. After that, all

69
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.639
hell is going to break loose.
Let's move on to the war. You're

70
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.079
a soldier in addition everything else.
This morning on some of the talk shows,

71
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:17.519
there's about one hundred and forty thousand
members of active IDF arrayed around Gaza,

72
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:21.920
and there's three hundred and fifty thousand
are so called up that were pharmacists

73
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.600
and lawyers and doctors. They were
street cleaners and plumbers. In other words,

74
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:30.480
they were reservist as you have been
for a long time, but not

75
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.000
ready to go to war yet.
It's only been about ten days and according

76
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.279
to the military experts on the cable
shows, they're going to be used on

77
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:42.319
the northern part of Israel to waylay
and to go after Hesbala when they attack.

78
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.040
And the military generals I saw this
morning said that when the visit of

79
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.360
Joe Biden concludes, I guess on
Wednesday or Thursday to Tel Aviv and the

80
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:55.839
Jordan. At that point the assault, the attack will happen on Gaza.

81
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.519
But you must have in place the
three hundred and fifty thousand reservists on the

82
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.319
northern end of Israel because Hesbola is
about to wreak havoc all over Israel with

83
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:10.519
missiles and artillery shells and drones all
from Iran and Moore. And so as

84
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.560
a military man, take off your
your politician had put on your your army

85
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:18.839
officer had and tell us what is
happening in Israel now relative to the to

86
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.439
the war, and what's going to
happen in the North. Well, without

87
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:26.319
a doubt, Israel is it wore. It's it's not just some kind of

88
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.240
policing action or anti terrorism component at
this point, it's a war. This

89
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.560
is Israel's nine to eleven are pearl
harbor. You know, from the military

90
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:39.160
standpoint, it's a pearl harbor.
From the civilian standpoint, it's it's the

91
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.720
same as nine to eleven, but
it seems to me even worse. I

92
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.160
don't think we've seen such atrocities at
this level since the Holocaust, and at

93
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:53.399
least the Nazis were trying to hide
it. This is just a different situation

94
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.839
altogether, and Israel is fighting for
its life, and we need to be

95
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:02.160
very supportive of Israel since it is
a country that is fighting for its life.

96
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.959
It's sort of like we were after
nine to eleven, and you do

97
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:10.759
call up the reserves and you do
get everyone involved, because that's what it's

98
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.920
going to take at this time.
It's a huge military operation. And you

99
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.720
know, unfortunately, there's been a
stunning intelligence failure about this from the beginning,

100
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.480
and that includes I would have to
say, US intelligence, because we

101
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.839
should be sharing our intelligence with Israel, one of our strongest allies in the

102
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.399
world, but certainly our strongest ally
in that region. And so let's not

103
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.199
be at fault. Let's be prepared
for whatever might happen, even if we

104
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.879
don't have intelligence on some things.
But you know, the Israeli defense forces

105
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.839
are returning fire across the Lebanon border
right now. We're returning fire, and

106
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:54.720
I think that's one of the keys. They're firing towards military posts. Look

107
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:59.079
at what Hamas has done. It
just went after civilians. They'll take on

108
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:03.839
any military might come along their way. But this is just diabolic what they

109
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.399
have done. So we got to
consider supply chain for Israel. We want

110
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.079
to be helpful in every way that
we can. I'm glad the President is

111
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.199
going there. The President has said
that wants to make sure that Israel has

112
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.439
the tools it needs to defend itself, and let's make let's make sure that

113
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.439
we have such a volatile world right
now, if we can de escalate this

114
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.639
through strength and force, then that's
what we need to do. You know,

115
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.320
I see AOC saying things like,
oh, let's call for a ceasefire.

116
00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:37.440
That's not what this is. This
has no chance of a ceasefire at

117
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.120
this point. God think it didn't
have AOC and Pearl Harbor, because after

118
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.559
the Japanese successfully attacked and killed sixteen
hundred Americans at Pearl Harbor and Hawaii,

119
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:48.480
maybe AOC of that time would have
said, well, we need to cease

120
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:52.360
fire. We have to talk to
the Japanese and see what the heck they

121
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.440
have in their minds. Stand down, and that's not the case, and

122
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.440
Israel, as you know, is
the strongest military in the Middle East by

123
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:05.399
far. However, what hes blog
can throw at the Israelis are thousands of

124
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:11.360
drones from Iran, one hundred and
fifty thousand guided missiles, all many of

125
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.080
what you're going to get through to
devastate Israeli cities. And then what happens

126
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.480
assuming playing this scenario. You military
types love to have the scenario, what

127
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.399
if this happens? What happens if
they devastate Israeli cities, kill tens of

128
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.519
thousands of Israeli citizens and their sins, the existence of Israel is at stake.

129
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.440
What happens then, well, you
got to go at the source.

130
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.840
I mean, you don't just drive
people out of Israel at this point,

131
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.519
because that's not the answer. That
won't work. You have to do more.

132
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:46.960
Let's face it, Iran has been
backing this for some time. They're

133
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.000
well orchestrated right now especially, and
so Israelize every right to go on the

134
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.399
offense and nip things that the source
is best that they possibly can. They

135
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:01.080
have gone for years using iron dome
tech, attacks that came in, missiles

136
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.399
that came in, that's been very
successful. That just got overwhelmed. And

137
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.720
not only was it that which we're
always attacks on the civilians, it was

138
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:18.960
the one on one, actually ten
on one, taking families, killing families,

139
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:22.759
killing babies, using them as hostages. And you know, from the

140
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.519
United States standpoint, we have a
lot of Americans that are in Israel right

141
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:30.639
now trying to get out. We've
tried to help many of our constituents and

142
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.639
follow where they are to help them
get out. We've seen efforts privately.

143
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.720
The United States I think has every
authority to go in and protect us interest

144
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.600
and the American people in particular,
to at least try to evacuate the American

145
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.200
people that seemed trapped into in Israel. Branky, do you have a fear

146
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:58.399
of a nuclear exchange between Israel and
Iran? Well, no, I don't

147
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.960
really at this point, I don't, but there are things behind the scenes

148
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.919
that we don't know, and we
didn't know they were going to launch this

149
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:11.919
attack. So you know, I
do sit on the Intelligence Committee, and

150
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.039
there was nothing there that we were
informed of to predict this. But we're

151
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:22.080
gathering intelligence now as far as what's
taking place. And one of my concerns

152
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.279
is not only for the State of
Israel, but for the Americans that are

153
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:28.639
in Israel. But Israel's fighting for
its life, and the only way you're

154
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.799
ever going to have peace in the
Middle East is if you have a stable

155
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.360
and protected and safe Israel. Lastly, Congressman Brad Weinster, but I know

156
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.679
the votes about to begin, and
you're you're very close to the House floor,

157
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.679
and I hope the chaos ends,
and I hope Jim Jordan is selected

158
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:50.360
sometime today, multiple ballots probably what
should be a disaster. That's bad too.

159
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:56.960
However, is President Joe Biden wise
he's leaving in a few hours meetings

160
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:01.360
tomorrow. Is he wise to go
into the city situation personally Air Force one

161
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.879
landing in Tel Aviv, making a
trip to Jordan King Hussein? Is he

162
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:11.399
wise to do that at this point? Well, it could be seen as

163
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:16.399
a show of support. Certainly.
I think there's a lot of things that

164
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.840
the President needs to do in addressing
the American people as far as what we

165
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:24.759
are doing, not only for Israel, what we are doing in Ukraine,

166
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.120
what we are doing to deter China. And that's a lot of things that

167
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.320
he can do right from the Oval
office. With the position that he holds

168
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.480
as President of the United States.
Look, well, we do we need

169
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.960
a speaker, But I would say
you at the same time, for right

170
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.679
now, the House is still open. We aren't shut down. And I'm

171
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.559
going to continue to do my committee
work and discover the truth when it comes

172
00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:54.919
to COVID, and do what we
can to make sure that we can make

173
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.320
America a healthy nation, all of
these things that are so important to the

174
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.159
American people. I'm going to keep
my work up, but I don't know

175
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.559
how long we can do it without
a speaker. Well, well, I

176
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.720
hope hopefully its white smoke over the
Capitol and we have a pope sometime today.

177
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.279
And if the Pope is Jim Jordan, so be it. If the

178
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.799
Pope was going to be Steve Scalise, so be it. If it was

179
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.840
going to be McCarthy, so be
it. Whatever it is, it just

180
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.759
looked inept. And this is going
to be used by Democrats and liberals and

181
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.080
Marxists all over the world to demonstrate
that Republicans are not a serious party a

182
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.759
party of governance. It's a party
of advocation, but not governance. And

183
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.759
that's a problem. Today. It
looks awful, But the big takeaway from

184
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:35.360
this interview, is that you have
hope that today we're going to have a

185
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.440
speaker and that you're going to vote
for Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. Correct.

186
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:45.840
Yeah, that's the plan. We'll
see how he does on the first round,

187
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.879
and I don't know what will happen
after that. All right, Congress

188
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.960
and Brad Winstrom, thank you very
much. I know you're busy for coming

189
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.679
on this Tuesday afternoon. Thank you
very much. Thanks Bill. All right,

190
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.039
let's continue. Well, we'll see
what occurs. It's a disaster,

191
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:03.320
and I understand the nine that were
hard nos and took McCarthy out, but

192
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.600
it played into the hands of those
who believe that Nancy Pelosi got things done.

193
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:11.799
Of course what she got done was
a total disaster and almost every respect,

194
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.639
but she got things done. So
let's continue to have your voice.

195
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.240
Later on, we have Jack Windsor
coming up from the High Press Network.

196
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.159
Plus I'm going to put a call
into Sergeant Dan Hills of the FOP,

197
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.159
the Vice mayor of Cincinnati. It
was on with Scott Sloan this morning talking

198
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:33.759
about providing providing those fast and furious
drivers at Second in Ray Street to have

199
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.639
their own space, give them space
maybe at the Carthach and Hamilety County Fairgrounds

200
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:43.200
to do what they're going to do. And let's face it, that's not

201
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.600
the issue because they want to give
the middle finger to the police and to

202
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.279
the society by doing the donuts.
To give them a safe space to do

203
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.399
the donuts, they wouldn't take that
up either, because they want the middle

204
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.639
finger given to the Cincinnati police.
In a law enforcement the idea of shutting

205
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.840
down I seventy one and the light
tunnel and do and doing donuts at three

206
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:07.360
o'clock in the morning is harmful,
ridiculous, and it's a middle finger to

207
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.279
Cincinnati police. So let's continue with
more your comments. Five one, three,
