Just register online, empower Youoamerica dot org. Congressrom WEINSTROM. 26 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.359 I just got done. Tell me my listeners about the 27 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.159 executive order Donald Trump sign yesterday ordering new limitations on 28 00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.519 the well gain of function research that was done at 29 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:44.359 the Wuhan Institute of Virology. And we all know what 30 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.079 tragedy came from that. I don't understand why that type 31 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.599 of research is done in the first instance, and he 32 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.840 can't stop it from happening. I mean that we no 33 00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.719 longer funded well. First off, that we ever funded it 34 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.959 to me is just batcrap and saying no pun intended. Yes, 35 00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.079 that we funded it, notably in China. That's what's insult 36 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.120 to injury on that one. That's well put. 37 00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.599 It's really amazing that it happened that way, but you 38 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.680 have a group of people that aren't really concerned as 39 00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:20.520 much about the positive possible negative effects as much as 40 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.520 it is this is science, and we're scientists, and we 41 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.520 like doing this because we can. You know, it's almost 42 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.120 kind of godlike, but in a perverse way. Mango Wilike. Yeah, 43 00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.919 it really is. And you know, look, gain of function. 44 00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.639 Let's be clear on one thing. If you can do 45 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.400 gain of function research to make an antibiotic more effective 46 00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:45.080 against bacteria or something like that, that's great. But when 47 00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.400 you're doing gain of function research to create something that's 48 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:53.560 more harmful to a human being potentially because it might 49 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.240 happen in nature, that was the premise twenty ten, twenty 50 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.960 eleven Fauci Collins. You know, they're run the government wing 51 00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.000 of our research, and they just think this is the 52 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.560 greatest idea. But even in twenty twelve out she was asked, well, 53 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:08.840 aren't you concerned about getting out of the lab and 54 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.280 creating a pandemic, and he said, I think the benefits 55 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:12.080 outweigh the risk. 56 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.400 Kennedy, you secretary. 57 00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:17.159 Of Kennedy did a good job in the press conference 58 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.639 yesterday of summing that up, where he said, you know 59 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.360 the premise of this gain of function research, which I've 60 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.280 been talking about since I found out about it when 61 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.520 COVID started, is to be able to predict a virus 62 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.039 that may come about that could affect humans. But guess what, 63 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.560 will have a vaccine ready because we've created it in 64 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.840 the lab, not out there in nature, not out there 65 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.800 infecting people. But as Kennedy said yesterday, no lab BSL four, 66 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.400 which is the most restrictive, it doesn't matter. No lab 67 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.439 is immune from leaks. And he said that yesterday, and 68 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:56.719 I think that's an important point to make. So why 69 00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.159 would we do this at all at this point in time. Well, 70 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.319 by the way understanding nature and understanding the anatomy of viruses, 71 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:05.960 AI can predict it. 72 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.199 Well, fine on all that, And I don't disagree with 73 00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.800 you in iota on your point, but I'm sorry, in 74 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.160 a world with scarce resources, in a world with diseases 75 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:21.759 that run them up killing people cancer, for example, we've 76 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.240 been paying money into funds and organizations and trying to 77 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.480 get funding research to fight cancer for decades and decades 78 00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.560 and decades still with no home run solution, which is 79 00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.079 one of the reasons I work for the cures or 80 00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.560 do the charitable work for the cure starts now they're 81 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:40.240 trying to do that. This is putting money into a 82 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.920 man created virus that hasn't happened yet naturally, so that 83 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:51.360 you can create a vaccine to prevent it or unring 84 00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.839 the bell if it does actually get created in nature 85 00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:00.079 somewhere sometime down the road. So you're trying to to 86 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.639 find a cure for something that doesn't exist when we've 87 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.879 got diseases that exist right now that we have no 88 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.519 cure for. I mean, that's just absolutely stupid. And this 89 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.639 is another thing. They did research to come up with 90 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:18.360 nerve gas, mustard gas, things of that. They did chemical research. 91 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.920 They they created weaponized viruses and agents and they tested 92 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.920 them on I know the Nazis test them on human beings, 93 00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.319 but of course tested them on animals in the lab. 94 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:34.759 Why for use for military purposes, so you can kill 95 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.160 your enemy. See that to me is the sort of 96 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.879 domino following the logical reason why you would be doing 97 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.720 this so you can unleash it on your foe. I mean, 98 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.240 you're doing on this level, this biological level. You can 99 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:52.720 create a virus that can attack certain DNA type structures 100 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.480 like so if you want to kill all the black people, 101 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.040 you want to kill all the white people, you want 102 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.120 to kill this certain ethnicity. You got DNA and they 103 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:02.480 could target it to a particular type of DNA with 104 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:03.079 this time. 105 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.399 And that was our problem with you know, the things 106 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.480 that were like, oh, find out your ancestry, Well, China's 107 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.439 getting all your DNA information exactly, you know. But yesterday's 108 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.519 press conference was very good. I mean, we're really cleaning 109 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.399 house and having good logical people in place right now 110 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.800 that can make a difference. As Jay Bodachario now, the 111 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.160 head of NIH that took Francis Collins place, that gain 112 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.279 a function does not protect us, It only endangers us, exactly, 113 00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.079 and that is exactly right now. 114 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:34.920 I will tell you. 115 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.759 In February of twenty twenty is when I was doing 116 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.560 research on COVID itself, when everybody was in lockdown, you know, 117 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.560 we came across this article that showed Ralph Berrick in 118 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.879 North Carolina's English and China creating new viruses that showed 119 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.079 that they can work like legos and take this part 120 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.920 of one virus and this part of another back backbone 121 00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.279 put it on there. And then the most dangerous thing 122 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.480 that they were doing, and we were paying for it 123 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.040 is putting fur and cleavage sites on there. The fur 124 00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.240 and cleavage site is one of the things that makes 125 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.920 the virus way more infectious to the human respiratory system. 126 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:12.720 And we were doing it. 127 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.560 And we're in a place now where any of this stuff, 128 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.639 the public, the government, we can say no. The regulatory 129 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.519 reform that was put in place yesterday was music to 130 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.240 my ears and a fight that we were having that 131 00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:29.160 was being ignored by the previous administration, and all of 132 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.879 these details in facts. I was thrilled to see that 133 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.680 the Trump administration, the White House put out basically our 134 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:40.240 report that we spent two years working on, backed up 135 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.040 by previous investigations in the previous two and three years. 136 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.959 They put it out said we believe it came from 137 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:52.199 the lab. The CIA, even under the Biden appointee. Burns 138 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.319 came out at the end and said, looks like a 139 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.839 lab leak. It's basically for those of us who have 140 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.439 been investigating it and have the intelligence too. Remember our 141 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.959 report is unclassified, but if you look at the intelligence 142 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.920 component two, how can you not say it likely came 143 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.560 from the lab. There's been no evidence of nature. We 144 00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.040 got to move on protect ourselves. Do better in the future, 145 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.920 and certainly do whatever we can to make sure that 146 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.720 we aren't funding our adversary work in this arena. 147 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.360 And we go back to the point you we aren't 148 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.000 funding it now, as reprehensible as it is that we 149 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.279 actually funded in the first instance. Acknowledging all the points 150 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.199 you just made and the realities we experienced with their 151 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.480 GAINA function research with the leak, we can't stop this 152 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.360 research from being done in other countries that we are 153 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:40.159 no longer funding, it doesn't mean it's not still going on. 154 00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.120 Much like the Mustard gas point I made earlier militarization weaponization, 155 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:49.639 that that might be that work might be ongoing elsewhere. 156 00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.200 I mean, Iran could have a lab doing this type 157 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.279 of research right now. We don't know that, and if 158 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.240 we did know about it, we couldn't stop it from happening. 159 00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.639 Well, interesting that in their regulations or the executive order, 160 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:05.279 I should say, they put out President Trump specifically named 161 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:09.840 China and and Iran. You know, COVID was preventable, and 162 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:12.799 I was glad to hear. My friend Marty McCarey, who 163 00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:17.240 I worked with closely through the whole COVID investigation, even 164 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.279 before the committee was formed. You know, he summed it 165 00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:25.279 up yesterday said COVID was preventable, and it was created 166 00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:31.960 by technology exported from the United States to Wuhan. Unbelievable. 167 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:39.519 Our technology given to China for the purposes of altering 168 00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.320 this to make it more infectious for human beings with 169 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.720 no oversight. And that's the other thing that's in the 170 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:49.679 executive Order is if we're doing anything in a foreign lab, 171 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:54.240 especially that of an adversary, we're going to have tremendous oversight. 172 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:56.799 You know, if you're if we're going to do research 173 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.000 on a new type of bone graph for severe fred 174 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.519 something with an adversary, Hell Nation, that's fine, but let's 175 00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:05.960 have oversight over that too. 176 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.759 Well exactly, we'll stick around. We got a whole hour 177 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.480 this seven o'clock hour with former Congressman brad winstrip Or 178 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:15.759 to pause right now, let me opportunity, give me an 179 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.000 opportunity to mention Emory Federal Credit Union. Something you can 180 00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:21.159 plan for the annual shred event. Put it that on 181 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:24.759 your calendar. Saturday, June seventh, between ninety m and one pm. 182 00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.320 Collect all of your documents. Everybody is welcome, so unnecessary 183 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:32.919 personal confidential documents. Bring them into Emory Federal Credit Union's locations, 184 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.399 one of the three. Shredding protects your personal information but 185 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.120 gives you a peace of mind knowing your documents are 186 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.320 safely destroyed and they will thoroughly destroy them.

By the 214 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:02.240 time it's we former Congressman brad Winstrip, doctor brad winsterp 215 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.759 who again is going to empower you some of our 216 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.840 tomorrow night beginning at seven pm on what are the 217 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.120 lessons learned from the pandemic? And Brad yesterday you were 218 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:15.679 very happy to see one other component. Not only will 219 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.080 we not be funding gain a function research out there 220 00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.519 in the world, but we learned something from the pandemic. 221 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.759 I think we learned a lot of lessons from the pandemic. 222 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.120 Met a whole lot. I mean, there was some good 223 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:32.559 that came out of it, like telehealth, for example. I 224 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.120 love the idea of being able to get your doctor 225 00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.759 on the horn and you know, do just a talk 226 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.440 to him or a zoom conference type of thing. You 227 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.519 don't have to drive in getting your appointment and drive 228 00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.200 in to see him. You know, they made life a 229 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.360 little bit easier. But something that we learn and it's 230 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.159 a hard lesson to have to deal with that we 231 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.759 don't make anything anymore. And I know that's a broad 232 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.279 brush stroke. We still make some stuff, but we don't 233 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.679 make the vast majority of our pharmaceuticals come from China. 234 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.879 Referred all that out over the years, and we got 235 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.720 rid of our generic manufacturing plants. I know that Mark 236 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.080 Cuban's going to try and reinstitute one in Texas. And 237 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.200 there is another one that came forth during the first 238 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:17.399 Trump administration recognizing this problem. And even in the executive 239 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.080 order yesterday, President Trump talked about how they recognized the 240 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.559 problem we have, the national security risk, the. 241 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.159 Health wish to a secure Aerica. 242 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.039 There was a book written called China RX, and if 243 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.679 you really want to get scared about it, go ahead 244 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:35.360 and read that you know about twenty years ago, fifteen 245 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.200 twenty years ago, there was a situation where we had 246 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.080 tainted hepron that came from China. Oh yeah, at about 247 00:13:41.120 --> 00:13:43.399 two hundred and fifty people died and so the people 248 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.960 was sitting out in the sun. And yeah, the opportunity 249 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:51.600 for sabotage, et cetera is huge anytime China decides to 250 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:54.679 do it. I mean, the FDA, especially during COVID, is 251 00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:57.799 not over in China inspecting their labs to make sure 252 00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.600 that they're doing everything right. That's one of the things 253 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.759 that Marty McCarey brought up yesterday that the FDA. You know, 254 00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:07.799 they do surprise visits in the United States, right, they 255 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:09.679 just show up and say, we're going to make sure 256 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.320 you're doing everything right inside of your lab. But what 257 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.879 they're going to start doing is surprise visits in China. 258 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.399 Those have been scheduled. You know, it could be a 259 00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.399 dog and pony show. You know, it's the same thing 260 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.879 for hospitals. We always knew when when the hospitals were 261 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.799 being inspected where the Joint Commission was coming in. Well, 262 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.039 now it's surprise visits, so you better be ready all 263 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:29.360 the time. 264 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.639 And that's how it should be ending like drug testing 265 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.600 for employment by any reasons. You know, they never tell 266 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.039 you in advance when they're going to do it. So 267 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.799 you got to sit on the edge of your seat. Well, 268 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.720 and for good reason, right right, right, Well, we're going 269 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.759 to test your blog. You're you're in the fifteenth of 270 00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.720 next month. Thanks appreciate your heads up. 271 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:48.519 So anyway, we got to get onto the path of 272 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.759 US production, and we got to be smart about it. 273 00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:53.480 If you'd have told me when I was in Iraq 274 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:57.159 that my protective equipment as a surgeon and my pharmaceuticals 275 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.200 relied on China, I'd say, how did we get here? 276 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.200 And I had a bill during the last term that 277 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.159 unfortunately never really moved, but said let's at least make 278 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.679 our battlefield medicines one hundred percent domestic. Maybe maybe the 279 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.639 other side of the aisle would pay attention to that, 280 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.039 because otherwise it was just being ignored the fact that 281 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.120 we have this problem. I would tell you the military, 282 00:15:19.600 --> 00:15:22.159 who I'm surprised to ever let this happen. I was 283 00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.559 working when I was still in uniform with the Defense 284 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.759 Logistics Medical Supply Chain Council, recognizing the drugs we need, 285 00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.919 where we get them all the way down to the 286 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.559 active pharmaceutical ingredients, and that was being controlled by China. 287 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:38.039 And so that's a problem that we have. But even 288 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.879 the things that we make. I'm Puerto Rico, for example, 289 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.879 large on medical supplies, et cetera. Sailing they had, yeah, 290 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.159 two hurricanes, got no, we couldn't get saline. And so 291 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.879 those are the things we have to recognize, not only 292 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.440 make them domestically, but have them made in more than 293 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.799 one place within our own confines, or at the very 294 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.000 least work with the trusted allies on these types of things, 295 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:05.720 minerals that we may need. You know, we have the 296 00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.320 same situation with batteries. 297 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.120 Oh you know. 298 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.960 You know I could never promote, for example, putting getting 299 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.120 using federal grants to put power charging stations. 300 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:17.320 You know. 301 00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.320 I had one community said, we need charging stations so 302 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:22.799 tourists coming through here can charge their cars. I said, 303 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:29.360 these are people whose ability to transport themselves relies on China, 304 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:34.279 whether they like it or not, because that battery is 305 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:37.159 made by Chinese or the components. Now we're going to 306 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.159 assemble batteries here. That's that's different. I'm move in the 307 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:43.039 right direction, but it's not the same same with the 308 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:47.080 same with the generic medications. So this order puts us 309 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:51.879 on the line to domestic production of critical medicines, something 310 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.159 I've been promoting for some time, and it's great to 311 00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:58.720 have some common sense people in the administration that are 312 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:01.159 pushing towards making these things happen. In a lot of 313 00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.480 these cases, Congress has to cooperate, and Congress has to 314 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.640 make these things possible too, if nothing else, you know, 315 00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:12.480 if something was just an executive order or regulation, it seems. 316 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.480 That the. 317 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.279 Same entity or agency that's now under the guidance of 318 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.160 the Trump administration can make these changes in the other direction. 319 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.400 Well, I guess boiled down, the reason all of this 320 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.119 ended up in China is simply a question of production cost. Yes, 321 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.839 that's the only reason. Yes, we don't lack the specific 322 00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.279 components that go into any given pharmaceutical. We just don't 323 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:42.359 want to manufacture here because it's more expensive. 324 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.279 There's so many dangers out there. I mean, I can 325 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.359 remember when I was a resident in Chicago, there was 326 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:49.960 a Walgreens up the street from me that was selling 327 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.279 tile and all okay, they came for the manufacturer, but 328 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.039 was laced with cyanide, and people were dying. Oh I 329 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:57.839 remember that. Yeah, do you remember that? You might have 330 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.759 still been in Chicago at the time about all of 331 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.240 the changes to packaging and lid's. You know, everything's got 332 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:04.759 to cover on. 333 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.839 It is sealed with the plastics, so you know if 334 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.079 it's been opened or not exactly. We'll continue with Citizen 335 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:13.960 brad Winstrip pause from moment and me recommend right now 336 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:16.359 that you get into twenty two three Firearms Rout forty 337 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.759 two between Mason and Lebanon where moms get free shooting 338 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.039 over the weekend.
