Washington, d C. Congressman Brad Weinstrip is a soldier, also a US
Congressman, and a doctor and more. But Congressman Brad Weinstrip, I see
chaos reigning supreme. According to ABC News, which is never wrong, that
there's ten of hard no Republicans no matter what, which means Jim Jordan cannot
be elected or selected a speaker. However, the vote is very close ongoing.
First of all, are you going to vote for Congressman Jim Jordan?
And secondly, kind of play out what's going to happen before we get on
to Israel. Well, I can't predict all these things, unfortunately, because
we have a lot of independent minds. And really that's how the House Speaker
is. You know, the vote for that, it usually occurs within the
conference. It's traditionally we make our choice within our conference. And when we
hold the majority, we're at conference. It's been working together to advance the
conservative agenda for American people. Gain the majority, and you know, is
everything I do, I'm going to do what I believe is best for the
people I represent in the American people, and we got to pray for our
nation in the world. We got work to do, and I want to
get back to work. Our conference needs both Steve Scalise and Jim Jordan and
countless others if we're going to be successful. And I had a conversation with
Jim Jordan today, you know, he had he had said that we shouldn't
go to the floor until we have two hundred and eighteen, and so we'll
see if he has a two hundred and eighteen. I had discussed with him
issues that are important to me and to my district and I think for the
whole country, and I said, would really want your support if you're a
speaker on these particular items when it comes to our national security, when it
comes to making us the healthiest nation on the planet. As a doctor,
that's something I'm always working on. We need to be able to exhibit peace
in this world through our strength, and those are important things, as well
as continuing on with our investigations, in particular for me, the investigation on
the pandemic and origins of COVID and how we manage it the next pandemic.
And he seemed to be on board, and I told him that I would
vote for him when we come up at noon, and we'll see where things
go from there. ABC News is reporting that there's ten hard nos. Is
that your understanding that he can't get it on the first ballot, and how
ridiculous it would look to have multiple ballots again, because you know, I
love conservatism, I'm normally a Republican, but from an outsider, it looks
like chaos and that instead of being a party that can govern, it's a
party that wants to advocate and fight. From the outside looking in, it
looks really bad. Do you think there's a sense in Congress among you Republicans
that this looks terrible to the world, especially now, It looks terrible for
a party that wants to have governance when they advocate without governance. Do you
understand how badness looks? Yeah? But I think what's important to note is
that it's a minority of the people within our conference. Unfortunately. You know,
throughout this process, starting with the motion to vacate and take out that
we elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, and we have an earror margin,
but looked, as I was trying to say before, traditionally we would
vote in conference. The only constituents during that vote are the members of the
House. Of Representatives, not across America, not necessarily a certain TV audience
or anything else. It's the members that have to work with the speaker that
get the vote. Republicans and Democrats get to vote on this. But in
conference, traditionally, what we've done when we are a majority is we elect
our nominee and typically we would go out in unison and vote for that nominee
and go to work. That's it. And that's not what happens anymore today,
and especially when it only takes a few that will vote with Democrats for
someone else. And so that's what we're up against. That's you know what
we saw with the motion to vacate. You have people that voted with Democrats
to take out Kevin McCarthy Republicans. Yeah, so this is a situation we're
in. And you know, Willie, what I've tried to do since i've
been here is be a team builder. Work within our conference. We may
have differences, work through them, try to be effective. Get things across
the finish line for the conservative things across the finish line for the American people.
And quite frankly, when you look at my record, we've done that
and I want to continue to do that. So we need a speaker to
be able to do that. But if we don't adhere to what was considered
the rules within our conference, it's going to be a problem for a while.
And it's again it always seems to be a certain few I get from
you that your crystal ball is a bit cloudy. We'll see what happens later
this afternoon. And it looks bad, hopefully they can unite. If not
scalase Jordan's fine, you're going to vote for Jordan. After that, all
hell is going to break loose. Let's move on to the war. You're
a soldier in addition everything else. This morning on some of the talk shows,
there's about one hundred and forty thousand members of active IDF arrayed around Gaza,
and there's three hundred and fifty thousand are so called up that were pharmacists
and lawyers and doctors. They were street cleaners and plumbers. In other words,
they were reservist as you have been for a long time, but not
ready to go to war yet. It's only been about ten days and according
to the military experts on the cable shows, they're going to be used on
the northern part of Israel to waylay and to go after Hesbala when they attack.
And the military generals I saw this morning said that when the visit of
Joe Biden concludes, I guess on Wednesday or Thursday to Tel Aviv and the
Jordan. At that point the assault, the attack will happen on Gaza.
But you must have in place the three hundred and fifty thousand reservists on the
northern end of Israel because Hesbola is about to wreak havoc all over Israel with
missiles and artillery shells and drones all from Iran and Moore. And so as
a military man, take off your your politician had put on your your army
officer had and tell us what is happening in Israel now relative to the to
the war, and what's going to happen in the North. Well, without
a doubt, Israel is it wore. It's it's not just some kind of
policing action or anti terrorism component at this point, it's a war. This
is Israel's nine to eleven are pearl harbor. You know, from the military
standpoint, it's a pearl harbor. From the civilian standpoint, it's it's the
same as nine to eleven, but it seems to me even worse. I
don't think we've seen such atrocities at this level since the Holocaust, and at
least the Nazis were trying to hide it. This is just a different situation
altogether, and Israel is fighting for its life, and we need to be
very supportive of Israel since it is a country that is fighting for its life.
It's sort of like we were after nine to eleven, and you do
call up the reserves and you do get everyone involved, because that's what it's
going to take at this time. It's a huge military operation. And you
know, unfortunately, there's been a stunning intelligence failure about this from the beginning,
and that includes I would have to say, US intelligence, because we
should be sharing our intelligence with Israel, one of our strongest allies in the
world, but certainly our strongest ally in that region. And so let's not
be at fault. Let's be prepared for whatever might happen, even if we
don't have intelligence on some things. But you know, the Israeli defense forces
are returning fire across the Lebanon border right now. We're returning fire, and
I think that's one of the keys. They're firing towards military posts. Look
at what Hamas has done. It just went after civilians. They'll take on
any military might come along their way. But this is just diabolic what they
have done. So we got to consider supply chain for Israel. We want
to be helpful in every way that we can. I'm glad the President is
going there. The President has said that wants to make sure that Israel has
the tools it needs to defend itself, and let's make let's make sure that
we have such a volatile world right now, if we can de escalate this
through strength and force, then that's what we need to do. You know,
I see AOC saying things like, oh, let's call for a ceasefire.
That's not what this is. This has no chance of a ceasefire at
this point. God think it didn't have AOC and Pearl Harbor, because after
the Japanese successfully attacked and killed sixteen hundred Americans at Pearl Harbor and Hawaii,
maybe AOC of that time would have said, well, we need to cease
fire. We have to talk to the Japanese and see what the heck they
have in their minds. Stand down, and that's not the case, and
Israel, as you know, is the strongest military in the Middle East by
far. However, what hes blog can throw at the Israelis are thousands of
drones from Iran, one hundred and fifty thousand guided missiles, all many of
what you're going to get through to devastate Israeli cities. And then what happens
assuming playing this scenario. You military types love to have the scenario, what
if this happens? What happens if they devastate Israeli cities, kill tens of
thousands of Israeli citizens and their sins, the existence of Israel is at stake.
What happens then, well, you got to go at the source.
I mean, you don't just drive people out of Israel at this point,
because that's not the answer. That won't work. You have to do more.
Let's face it, Iran has been backing this for some time. They're
well orchestrated right now especially, and so Israelize every right to go on the
offense and nip things that the source is best that they possibly can. They
have gone for years using iron dome tech, attacks that came in, missiles
that came in, that's been very successful. That just got overwhelmed. And
not only was it that which we're always attacks on the civilians, it was
the one on one, actually ten on one, taking families, killing families,
killing babies, using them as hostages. And you know, from the
United States standpoint, we have a lot of Americans that are in Israel right
now trying to get out. We've tried to help many of our constituents and
follow where they are to help them get out. We've seen efforts privately.
The United States I think has every authority to go in and protect us interest
and the American people in particular, to at least try to evacuate the American
people that seemed trapped into in Israel. Branky, do you have a fear
of a nuclear exchange between Israel and Iran? Well, no, I don't
really at this point, I don't, but there are things behind the scenes
that we don't know, and we didn't know they were going to launch this
attack. So you know, I do sit on the Intelligence Committee, and
there was nothing there that we were informed of to predict this. But we're
gathering intelligence now as far as what's taking place. And one of my concerns
is not only for the State of Israel, but for the Americans that are
in Israel. But Israel's fighting for its life, and the only way you're
ever going to have peace in the Middle East is if you have a stable
and protected and safe Israel. Lastly, Congressman Brad Weinster, but I know
the votes about to begin, and you're you're very close to the House floor,
and I hope the chaos ends, and I hope Jim Jordan is selected
sometime today, multiple ballots probably what should be a disaster. That's bad too.
However, is President Joe Biden wise he's leaving in a few hours meetings
tomorrow. Is he wise to go into the city situation personally Air Force one
landing in Tel Aviv, making a trip to Jordan King Hussein? Is he
wise to do that at this point? Well, it could be seen as
a show of support. Certainly. I think there's a lot of things that
the President needs to do in addressing the American people as far as what we
are doing, not only for Israel, what we are doing in Ukraine,
what we are doing to deter China. And that's a lot of things that
he can do right from the Oval office. With the position that he holds
as President of the United States. Look, well, we do we need
a speaker, But I would say you at the same time, for right
now, the House is still open. We aren't shut down. And I'm
going to continue to do my committee work and discover the truth when it comes
to COVID, and do what we can to make sure that we can make
America a healthy nation, all of these things that are so important to the
American people. I'm going to keep my work up, but I don't know
how long we can do it without a speaker. Well, well, I
hope hopefully its white smoke over the Capitol and we have a pope sometime today.
And if the Pope is Jim Jordan, so be it. If the
Pope was going to be Steve Scalise, so be it. If it was
going to be McCarthy, so be it. Whatever it is, it just
looked inept. And this is going to be used by Democrats and liberals and
Marxists all over the world to demonstrate that Republicans are not a serious party a
party of governance. It's a party of advocation, but not governance. And
that's a problem. Today. It looks awful, But the big takeaway from
this interview, is that you have hope that today we're going to have a
speaker and that you're going to vote for Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. Correct.
Yeah, that's the plan. We'll see how he does on the first round,
and I don't know what will happen after that. All right, Congress
and Brad Winstrom, thank you very much. I know you're busy for coming
on this Tuesday afternoon. Thank you very much. Thanks Bill. All right,
let's continue. Well, we'll see what occurs. It's a disaster,
and I understand the nine that were hard nos and took McCarthy out, but
it played into the hands of those who believe that Nancy Pelosi got things done.
Of course what she got done was a total disaster and almost every respect,
but she got things done. So let's continue to have your voice.
Later on, we have Jack Windsor coming up from the High Press Network.
Plus I'm going to put a call into Sergeant Dan Hills of the FOP,
the Vice mayor of Cincinnati. It was on with Scott Sloan this morning talking
about providing providing those fast and furious drivers at Second in Ray Street to have
their own space, give them space maybe at the Carthach and Hamilety County Fairgrounds
to do what they're going to do. And let's face it, that's not
the issue because they want to give the middle finger to the police and to
the society by doing the donuts. To give them a safe space to do
the donuts, they wouldn't take that up either, because they want the middle
finger given to the Cincinnati police. In a law enforcement the idea of shutting
down I seventy one and the light tunnel and do and doing donuts at three
o'clock in the morning is harmful, ridiculous, and it's a middle finger to
Cincinnati police. So let's continue with more your comments. Five one, three,
