Speaker 1: Fifty five car CD Talk Dation Boy, big smile on
Speaker 1: my face when I came in and check the rundown
Speaker 1: of guests here on the fifty five CARC Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, and it's always great to have you in studio.
Speaker 1: Former Congressman now private citizen brad Winstroup. Good to be
Speaker 1: with you, Brian. As always I look forward to these
Speaker 1: little chats we have. I do too. It's great to
Speaker 1: have the exchange of thoughts and ideas, and it's nice
Speaker 1: to know you're doing an empower You seminar. This one's
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, Wednesday night. Not a normal night for empower You,
Speaker 1: they're usually Tuesdays and Thursdays, but empower You America dot org.
Speaker 1: Just by way of upcoming guests, the Insight Scoop with
Speaker 1: Bright Barton News editor in Chief Alex Marlowe. He's doing
Speaker 1: an empower You media's presentation tonight. We'll talk to them
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. It's the establishment media has
Speaker 1: destroyed itself and can't stop smiling. So log in for
Speaker 1: that one and tomorrow night, congress or former Congressman Winstrip,
Speaker 1: doctor still doctor Winstrip. We'll be discussing and providing what lessons.
Speaker 1: What are the lessons learned from the pandemic. He's the
Speaker 1: former chairman of the SLUX Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic, so
Speaker 1: he's going to be going all through all that Tomorrow night,
Speaker 1: seven pm. Show up. I think in person at Scarlett
Speaker 1: Oaks three hundred Great Oaks Drive for the in person presentation,
Speaker 1: or log in from the comfort of your own home
Speaker 1: right there. Just register online, empower Youoamerica dot org. Congressrom WEINSTROM.
Speaker 1: I just got done. Tell me my listeners about the
Speaker 1: executive order Donald Trump sign yesterday ordering new limitations on
Speaker 1: the well gain of function research that was done at
Speaker 1: the Wuhan Institute of Virology. And we all know what
Speaker 1: tragedy came from that. I don't understand why that type
Speaker 1: of research is done in the first instance, and he
Speaker 1: can't stop it from happening. I mean that we no
Speaker 1: longer funded well. First off, that we ever funded it
Speaker 1: to me is just batcrap and saying no pun intended. Yes,
Speaker 1: that we funded it, notably in China. That's what's insult
Speaker 1: to injury on that one. That's well put.
Speaker 2: It's really amazing that it happened that way, but you
Speaker 2: have a group of people that aren't really concerned as
Speaker 2: much about the positive possible negative effects as much as
Speaker 2: it is this is science, and we're scientists, and we
Speaker 2: like doing this because we can. You know, it's almost
Speaker 2: kind of godlike, but in a perverse way. Mango Wilike. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it really is. And you know, look, gain of function.
Speaker 2: Let's be clear on one thing. If you can do
Speaker 2: gain of function research to make an antibiotic more effective
Speaker 2: against bacteria or something like that, that's great. But when
Speaker 2: you're doing gain of function research to create something that's
Speaker 2: more harmful to a human being potentially because it might
Speaker 2: happen in nature, that was the premise twenty ten, twenty
Speaker 2: eleven Fauci Collins. You know, they're run the government wing
Speaker 2: of our research, and they just think this is the
Speaker 2: greatest idea. But even in twenty twelve out she was asked, well,
Speaker 2: aren't you concerned about getting out of the lab and
Speaker 2: creating a pandemic, and he said, I think the benefits
Speaker 2: outweigh the risk.
Speaker 1: Kennedy, you secretary.
Speaker 2: Of Kennedy did a good job in the press conference
Speaker 2: yesterday of summing that up, where he said, you know
Speaker 2: the premise of this gain of function research, which I've
Speaker 2: been talking about since I found out about it when
Speaker 2: COVID started, is to be able to predict a virus
Speaker 2: that may come about that could affect humans. But guess what,
Speaker 2: will have a vaccine ready because we've created it in
Speaker 2: the lab, not out there in nature, not out there
Speaker 2: infecting people. But as Kennedy said yesterday, no lab BSL four,
Speaker 2: which is the most restrictive, it doesn't matter. No lab
Speaker 2: is immune from leaks. And he said that yesterday, and
Speaker 2: I think that's an important point to make. So why
Speaker 2: would we do this at all at this point in time. Well,
Speaker 2: by the way understanding nature and understanding the anatomy of viruses,
Speaker 2: AI can predict it.
Speaker 1: Well, fine on all that, And I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: you in iota on your point, but I'm sorry, in
Speaker 1: a world with scarce resources, in a world with diseases
Speaker 1: that run them up killing people cancer, for example, we've
Speaker 1: been paying money into funds and organizations and trying to
Speaker 1: get funding research to fight cancer for decades and decades
Speaker 1: and decades still with no home run solution, which is
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I work for the cures or
Speaker 1: do the charitable work for the cure starts now they're
Speaker 1: trying to do that. This is putting money into a
Speaker 1: man created virus that hasn't happened yet naturally, so that
Speaker 1: you can create a vaccine to prevent it or unring
Speaker 1: the bell if it does actually get created in nature
Speaker 1: somewhere sometime down the road. So you're trying to to
Speaker 1: find a cure for something that doesn't exist when we've
Speaker 1: got diseases that exist right now that we have no
Speaker 1: cure for. I mean, that's just absolutely stupid. And this
Speaker 1: is another thing. They did research to come up with
Speaker 1: nerve gas, mustard gas, things of that. They did chemical research.
Speaker 1: They they created weaponized viruses and agents and they tested
Speaker 1: them on I know the Nazis test them on human beings,
Speaker 1: but of course tested them on animals in the lab.
Speaker 1: Why for use for military purposes, so you can kill
Speaker 1: your enemy. See that to me is the sort of
Speaker 1: domino following the logical reason why you would be doing
Speaker 1: this so you can unleash it on your foe. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're doing on this level, this biological level. You can
Speaker 1: create a virus that can attack certain DNA type structures
Speaker 1: like so if you want to kill all the black people,
Speaker 1: you want to kill all the white people, you want
Speaker 1: to kill this certain ethnicity. You got DNA and they
Speaker 1: could target it to a particular type of DNA with
Speaker 1: this time.
Speaker 2: And that was our problem with you know, the things
Speaker 2: that were like, oh, find out your ancestry, Well, China's
Speaker 2: getting all your DNA information exactly, you know. But yesterday's
Speaker 2: press conference was very good. I mean, we're really cleaning
Speaker 2: house and having good logical people in place right now
Speaker 2: that can make a difference. As Jay Bodachario now, the
Speaker 2: head of NIH that took Francis Collins place, that gain
Speaker 2: a function does not protect us, It only endangers us, exactly,
Speaker 2: and that is exactly right now.
Speaker 1: I will tell you.
Speaker 2: In February of twenty twenty is when I was doing
Speaker 2: research on COVID itself, when everybody was in lockdown, you know,
Speaker 2: we came across this article that showed Ralph Berrick in
Speaker 2: North Carolina's English and China creating new viruses that showed
Speaker 2: that they can work like legos and take this part
Speaker 2: of one virus and this part of another back backbone
Speaker 2: put it on there. And then the most dangerous thing
Speaker 2: that they were doing, and we were paying for it
Speaker 2: is putting fur and cleavage sites on there. The fur
Speaker 2: and cleavage site is one of the things that makes
Speaker 2: the virus way more infectious to the human respiratory system.
Speaker 1: And we were doing it.
Speaker 2: And we're in a place now where any of this stuff,
Speaker 2: the public, the government, we can say no. The regulatory
Speaker 2: reform that was put in place yesterday was music to
Speaker 2: my ears and a fight that we were having that
Speaker 2: was being ignored by the previous administration, and all of
Speaker 2: these details in facts. I was thrilled to see that
Speaker 2: the Trump administration, the White House put out basically our
Speaker 2: report that we spent two years working on, backed up
Speaker 2: by previous investigations in the previous two and three years.
Speaker 2: They put it out said we believe it came from
Speaker 2: the lab. The CIA, even under the Biden appointee. Burns
Speaker 2: came out at the end and said, looks like a
Speaker 2: lab leak. It's basically for those of us who have
Speaker 2: been investigating it and have the intelligence too. Remember our
Speaker 2: report is unclassified, but if you look at the intelligence
Speaker 2: component two, how can you not say it likely came
Speaker 2: from the lab. There's been no evidence of nature. We
Speaker 2: got to move on protect ourselves. Do better in the future,
Speaker 2: and certainly do whatever we can to make sure that
Speaker 2: we aren't funding our adversary work in this arena.
Speaker 1: And we go back to the point you we aren't
Speaker 1: funding it now, as reprehensible as it is that we
Speaker 1: actually funded in the first instance. Acknowledging all the points
Speaker 1: you just made and the realities we experienced with their
Speaker 1: GAINA function research with the leak, we can't stop this
Speaker 1: research from being done in other countries that we are
Speaker 1: no longer funding, it doesn't mean it's not still going on.
Speaker 1: Much like the Mustard gas point I made earlier militarization weaponization,
Speaker 1: that that might be that work might be ongoing elsewhere.
Speaker 1: I mean, Iran could have a lab doing this type
Speaker 1: of research right now. We don't know that, and if
Speaker 1: we did know about it, we couldn't stop it from happening.
Speaker 2: Well, interesting that in their regulations or the executive order,
Speaker 2: I should say, they put out President Trump specifically named
Speaker 2: China and and Iran. You know, COVID was preventable, and
Speaker 2: I was glad to hear. My friend Marty McCarey, who
Speaker 2: I worked with closely through the whole COVID investigation, even
Speaker 2: before the committee was formed. You know, he summed it
Speaker 2: up yesterday said COVID was preventable, and it was created
Speaker 2: by technology exported from the United States to Wuhan. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Our technology given to China for the purposes of altering
Speaker 2: this to make it more infectious for human beings with
Speaker 2: no oversight. And that's the other thing that's in the
Speaker 2: executive Order is if we're doing anything in a foreign lab,
Speaker 2: especially that of an adversary, we're going to have tremendous oversight.
Speaker 2: You know, if you're if we're going to do research
Speaker 2: on a new type of bone graph for severe fred
Speaker 2: something with an adversary, Hell Nation, that's fine, but let's
Speaker 2: have oversight over that too.
Speaker 1: Well exactly, we'll stick around. We got a whole hour
Speaker 1: this seven o'clock hour with former Congressman brad winstrip Or
Speaker 1: to pause right now, let me opportunity, give me an
Speaker 1: opportunity to mention Emory Federal Credit Union. Something you can
Speaker 1: plan for the annual shred event. Put it that on
Speaker 1: your calendar. Saturday, June seventh, between ninety m and one pm.
Speaker 1: Collect all of your documents. Everybody is welcome, so unnecessary
Speaker 1: personal confidential documents. Bring them into Emory Federal Credit Union's locations,
Speaker 1: one of the three. Shredding protects your personal information but
Speaker 1: gives you a peace of mind knowing your documents are
Speaker 1: safely destroyed and they will thoroughly destroy them. So whatever
Speaker 1: you got, bring it on into Emory one of the
Speaker 1: three locations. Find out where they are. It's blue Ash
Speaker 1: Liberty Township at Western Hills. Get the addresses and information
Speaker 1: by going to EMORYFCU dot org for all the details.
Speaker 1: Better way to bank. And this is just one of
Speaker 1: the things that they're doing on behalf or for the
Speaker 1: community's benefit. It's what they're all about. EMORYFCU dot org
Speaker 1: totally insured by NCUA.
Speaker 2: This is fifty five KRC and iHeartRadio station.
Speaker 1: I've had this receiving Heroin. Here's a channel nine first
Speaker 1: one to wether Horcask got a cloudy day to day
Speaker 1: rain north of the Ohio River possible and I think
Speaker 1: was ongoing current earlier sixty six for the high, overnight,
Speaker 1: clouds in the lower fifty Tomorrow, mostly cloudy with just
Speaker 1: a slight chance of afternoon rain. Seventy two for the
Speaker 1: high down to fifty three overnight with clouds and a
Speaker 1: cloudy Thursday Highest seventy five fifty right now traffic.
Speaker 3: Night from the UCLP Trampling Center. When it comes to
Speaker 3: stroke company second counts. That's why you see health is

Speaker 3: Ran then a wreck on Paddock in seventy five Chuck
Speaker 3: King Ramont fifty five KRC the talk station.
Speaker 1: Kishi seven twenty fifty five KRCD talk station. By the
Speaker 1: time it's we former Congressman brad Winstrip, doctor brad winsterp
Speaker 1: who again is going to empower you some of our
Speaker 1: tomorrow night beginning at seven pm on what are the
Speaker 1: lessons learned from the pandemic? And Brad yesterday you were
Speaker 1: very happy to see one other component. Not only will
Speaker 1: we not be funding gain a function research out there
Speaker 1: in the world, but we learned something from the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I think we learned a lot of lessons from the pandemic.
Speaker 1: Met a whole lot. I mean, there was some good
Speaker 1: that came out of it, like telehealth, for example. I
Speaker 1: love the idea of being able to get your doctor
Speaker 1: on the horn and you know, do just a talk
Speaker 1: to him or a zoom conference type of thing. You
Speaker 1: don't have to drive in getting your appointment and drive
Speaker 1: in to see him. You know, they made life a
Speaker 1: little bit easier. But something that we learn and it's
Speaker 1: a hard lesson to have to deal with that we
Speaker 1: don't make anything anymore. And I know that's a broad
Speaker 1: brush stroke. We still make some stuff, but we don't
Speaker 1: make the vast majority of our pharmaceuticals come from China.
Speaker 2: Referred all that out over the years, and we got
Speaker 2: rid of our generic manufacturing plants. I know that Mark
Speaker 2: Cuban's going to try and reinstitute one in Texas. And
Speaker 2: there is another one that came forth during the first
Speaker 2: Trump administration recognizing this problem. And even in the executive
Speaker 2: order yesterday, President Trump talked about how they recognized the
Speaker 2: problem we have, the national security risk, the.
Speaker 1: Health wish to a secure Aerica.
Speaker 2: There was a book written called China RX, and if
Speaker 2: you really want to get scared about it, go ahead
Speaker 2: and read that you know about twenty years ago, fifteen
Speaker 2: twenty years ago, there was a situation where we had
Speaker 2: tainted hepron that came from China. Oh yeah, at about
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty people died and so the people
Speaker 2: was sitting out in the sun. And yeah, the opportunity
Speaker 2: for sabotage, et cetera is huge anytime China decides to
Speaker 2: do it. I mean, the FDA, especially during COVID, is
Speaker 2: not over in China inspecting their labs to make sure
Speaker 2: that they're doing everything right. That's one of the things
Speaker 2: that Marty McCarey brought up yesterday that the FDA. You know,
Speaker 2: they do surprise visits in the United States, right, they
Speaker 2: just show up and say, we're going to make sure
Speaker 2: you're doing everything right inside of your lab. But what
Speaker 2: they're going to start doing is surprise visits in China.
Speaker 2: Those have been scheduled. You know, it could be a
Speaker 2: dog and pony show. You know, it's the same thing
Speaker 2: for hospitals. We always knew when when the hospitals were
Speaker 2: being inspected where the Joint Commission was coming in. Well,
Speaker 2: now it's surprise visits, so you better be ready all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 1: And that's how it should be ending like drug testing
Speaker 1: for employment by any reasons. You know, they never tell
Speaker 1: you in advance when they're going to do it. So
Speaker 1: you got to sit on the edge of your seat. Well,
Speaker 1: and for good reason, right right, right, Well, we're going
Speaker 1: to test your blog. You're you're in the fifteenth of
Speaker 1: next month. Thanks appreciate your heads up.
Speaker 2: So anyway, we got to get onto the path of
Speaker 2: US production, and we got to be smart about it.
Speaker 2: If you'd have told me when I was in Iraq
Speaker 2: that my protective equipment as a surgeon and my pharmaceuticals
Speaker 2: relied on China, I'd say, how did we get here?
Speaker 2: And I had a bill during the last term that
Speaker 2: unfortunately never really moved, but said let's at least make
Speaker 2: our battlefield medicines one hundred percent domestic. Maybe maybe the
Speaker 2: other side of the aisle would pay attention to that,
Speaker 2: because otherwise it was just being ignored the fact that
Speaker 2: we have this problem. I would tell you the military,
Speaker 2: who I'm surprised to ever let this happen. I was
Speaker 2: working when I was still in uniform with the Defense
Speaker 2: Logistics Medical Supply Chain Council, recognizing the drugs we need,
Speaker 2: where we get them all the way down to the
Speaker 2: active pharmaceutical ingredients, and that was being controlled by China.
Speaker 2: And so that's a problem that we have. But even
Speaker 2: the things that we make. I'm Puerto Rico, for example,
Speaker 2: large on medical supplies, et cetera. Sailing they had, yeah,
Speaker 2: two hurricanes, got no, we couldn't get saline. And so
Speaker 2: those are the things we have to recognize, not only
Speaker 2: make them domestically, but have them made in more than
Speaker 2: one place within our own confines, or at the very
Speaker 2: least work with the trusted allies on these types of things,
Speaker 2: minerals that we may need. You know, we have the
Speaker 2: same situation with batteries.
Speaker 1: Oh you know.
Speaker 2: You know I could never promote, for example, putting getting
Speaker 2: using federal grants to put power charging stations.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I had one community said, we need charging stations so
Speaker 2: tourists coming through here can charge their cars. I said,
Speaker 2: these are people whose ability to transport themselves relies on China,
Speaker 2: whether they like it or not, because that battery is
Speaker 2: made by Chinese or the components. Now we're going to
Speaker 2: assemble batteries here. That's that's different. I'm move in the
Speaker 2: right direction, but it's not the same same with the
Speaker 2: same with the generic medications. So this order puts us
Speaker 2: on the line to domestic production of critical medicines, something
Speaker 2: I've been promoting for some time, and it's great to
Speaker 2: have some common sense people in the administration that are
Speaker 2: pushing towards making these things happen. In a lot of
Speaker 2: these cases, Congress has to cooperate, and Congress has to
Speaker 2: make these things possible too, if nothing else, you know,
Speaker 2: if something was just an executive order or regulation, it seems.
Speaker 1: That the.
Speaker 2: Same entity or agency that's now under the guidance of
Speaker 2: the Trump administration can make these changes in the other direction.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess boiled down, the reason all of this
Speaker 1: ended up in China is simply a question of production cost. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the only reason. Yes, we don't lack the specific
Speaker 1: components that go into any given pharmaceutical. We just don't
Speaker 1: want to manufacture here because it's more expensive.
Speaker 2: There's so many dangers out there. I mean, I can
Speaker 2: remember when I was a resident in Chicago, there was
Speaker 2: a Walgreens up the street from me that was selling
Speaker 2: tile and all okay, they came for the manufacturer, but
Speaker 2: was laced with cyanide, and people were dying. Oh I
Speaker 2: remember that. Yeah, do you remember that? You might have
Speaker 2: still been in Chicago at the time about all of
Speaker 2: the changes to packaging and lid's. You know, everything's got
Speaker 2: to cover on.
Speaker 1: It is sealed with the plastics, so you know if
Speaker 1: it's been opened or not exactly. We'll continue with Citizen
Speaker 1: brad Winstrip pause from moment and me recommend right now
Speaker 1: that you get into twenty two three Firearms Rout forty
Speaker 1: two between Mason and Lebanon where moms get free shooting
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Mother's Day weekend, moms shoot for free
Speaker 1: with another shooter on the range with them. It's a
Speaker 1: great opportunity to bring your mom, spend some time with her.
Speaker 1: Maybe she doesn't own a firearm and you're worried about
Speaker 1: mom not being able to protect herself. The Great Equalizer.
Speaker 1: They have an amazing selection of firearms at twenty two
Speaker 1: three and rough forty two between Mason, Lebanon and two
Speaker 1: stellar people run it at Wendy and Jeff. They're outstanding people.
Speaker 1: You will love when you talk to them. Please tell them,
Speaker 1: Brian said, Hi, their staff there is knowledgeable at everything
Speaker 1: that they do. They have training classes of all levels
Speaker 1: and of course the cleanest, safest indoor range you're ever
Speaker 1: going to find. It's got everything when it comes to
Speaker 1: a firearm and indoor range store. We were in the
Speaker 1: best possible hands when you're go into twenty two three,
Speaker 1: So let mom shoot for free over the weekend twenty
Speaker 1: two three dot com the number twenty two five by
Speaker 1: the word three spelled out twenty two to three dot
Speaker 1: com fifty five KRC. The talk station John and I
Speaker 1: says this about the weather, got cloudy skies today, rain
Speaker 1: north of the Ohio River, certainly a possibility sixty six
Speaker 1: for a high and they stood maybe raining right now
Speaker 1: in your neighborhood. Overnight clouds in the low of fifty Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: clouds a slight chance to rain in the afternoon seventy
Speaker 1: two for the high. Overnight clouds fifty three and partly
Speaker 1: forty Thursday, and the highest seventy five fifty right now.
Speaker 1: Traffic time.
Speaker 3: From the UCU Traumphing Center. When it comes to stroke,
Speaker 3: every second count. So that's why you See Health is
Speaker 3: the clear choice for a rapid life saving treatment.
Speaker 4: Marnmore, You see health dot com.
Speaker 3: Southbound seventy five continues slow through Westchester wet roads, then
Speaker 3: through Walkland northbound seventy five, break rights out of ourline
Speaker 3: or into downtown westbound two seventy five. Moving a bit
Speaker 3: slow on Milford George Board's corner thanks to some rain.
Speaker 3: Chuck Ingramont fifty five K seed the talk station.
Speaker 1: Seven thirty here for the five kir CV talk station.
Speaker 1: Happy Tuesday. Former Congressman Brad Winster. It's still doctor Bradwinster
Speaker 1: in studio going through the issues with the Congressman. He's
Speaker 1: gonna be doing an empower you seminar tomorrow night about
Speaker 1: the what we learned from the pandemic, So hearing what
Speaker 1: he has to say. He was chairman of the Select
Speaker 1: Subcommitee on coronavirus pandemic, so he has been up and
Speaker 1: down the road with all the documents and information. So
Speaker 1: since we dealt with that topic, let's move on to
Speaker 1: well help out student loans. Taking a move away from
Speaker 1: things medical. Donald Trump's put his foot down and says, no,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to pay your loan off. And I
Speaker 1: have no fault, no problem with that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: sorry that you got a degree in college that didn't
Speaker 1: provide you a vehicle for employment. You know, you make
Speaker 1: informed the choices when you're going to college and you're
Speaker 1: taking your getting you know, one hundred thousand dollars maybe
Speaker 1: or more in debt for a I don't know, community
Speaker 1: service degree or something like that. There's just a if
Speaker 1: the degree in providetity value. I think this just stream
Speaker 1: of thought here, stream of consciousness here. You know, I
Speaker 1: think colleges should have a fiduciary obligation when someone gets
Speaker 1: admitted to school for any given degree, to sit them
Speaker 1: down and talk about the employment opportunities that may or
Speaker 1: may not be available to them when they get their
Speaker 1: art degree. You know, yep, I mean, I'm sorry. There
Speaker 1: are only like two job openings at Southabes every year
Speaker 1: and that's about all you're going to be able to
Speaker 1: get with an art degree. Well, you know, for the
Speaker 1: last fifty or sixty years. I'd say.
Speaker 2: Not so much in the in the Trump era for sure,
Speaker 2: but before that, we really as a nation, we're saying
Speaker 2: in essence subtly that if you don't get a college degree,
Speaker 2: that's somehow you've failed. Well, that's not the American dream.
Speaker 2: The American dream is being able to put a roof
Speaker 2: over your head and being able to pay for that
Speaker 2: room and to feed your family. But here's the interesting thing.
Speaker 2: The Bureau of Labor Statistics. I recently found that the
Speaker 2: unemployment rate for recent associate degree community college hilarious and
Speaker 2: vocational in their twenties was two point one percent, So
Speaker 2: they were being employed, compared to fifteen point three for
Speaker 2: four year college grads and eight point four percent for
Speaker 2: advanced degree recipients.
Speaker 1: Mean that's the unemployment rate. Yes, so, But you know,
Speaker 1: I find it interesting because you and I had the
Speaker 1: same statistics. I saw the Wall Street Journals into the
Speaker 1: Free College launch op ed piece was brought those statistics up,
Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, Oh, you got it as well. Unemployment, Now,
Speaker 1: that doesn't speak to what area of employment these degreed
Speaker 1: folks are working in. You could have a master's degree
Speaker 1: in naval contemplation and you're working as a barista at Starbucks.
Speaker 1: You are employed or open or uber? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean again, I would love to see the boil down, like, Okay,
Speaker 1: does employment mean in the field of study you engaged in.
Speaker 2: While at college? I would love to see that figure.
Speaker 2: And I have nothing against those jobs you mentioned. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: you don't need that expensive degree to be able to degree.
Speaker 2: And I always said this too. When I'm talking to
Speaker 2: college presidents. They wanted to tell me how many people
Speaker 2: graduated each year. They have a really high graduation rate.
Speaker 2: I said, tell me what they're doing five years from now,
Speaker 2: and I will say at some of the colleges they're
Speaker 2: starting to do that. It's easier to track people when
Speaker 2: they leave college. Now you know they still have the
Speaker 2: same phone number. All of these so many things say
Speaker 2: the same. You have this contact with them, so keep
Speaker 2: in touch, find out what they're doing five years later
Speaker 2: while you're.
Speaker 1: Asking them for a financial contribution. Also ask if they're employees.
Speaker 2: And then you can really determine what success looks like, Brian,
Speaker 2: because success means this degree led to you being successful
Speaker 2: and independent right in life. I'm not on the government
Speaker 2: for your existence.
Speaker 1: Well, and the graduation rate seems to me to be
Speaker 1: a nonsensical measure of anything, because we all know that
Speaker 1: they engage in grade inflation. I mean, one of the
Speaker 1: reasons that the Trump administration is telling Harvard to go
Speaker 1: you know, pound sand in terms of grants. They actually
Speaker 1: have a remedial math program at Harvard. They let someone
Speaker 1: in yes, who needs remedial math. So you've lowered standards.
Speaker 1: We know grade inflation happens in K through twelve. You
Speaker 1: go ahead and pass someone on into the next grade
Speaker 1: when they can't even meet the standards for that particular
Speaker 1: grade during the student no service whatsoever. But they'll also
Speaker 1: admit people who are incapable of working at college levels.
Speaker 1: What do they do? They lower college level standards down
Speaker 1: to something less than they're teaching basically at high school. Well,
Speaker 1: it's it's in med school and everything else that's scary.
Speaker 1: And speaking of in.
Speaker 2: Med school with loans, I can remember when I I
Speaker 2: was in school having to sit down with people that
Speaker 2: went over the loans that were available and the risk
Speaker 2: that you're taking. There was a Health Education Assistance loan
Speaker 2: that following Jimmy Carter was at seventeen percent. Yet they're
Speaker 2: going to throw you twenty thousand dollars or so. And
Speaker 2: I saw students going out by a new cars where
Speaker 2: I'm drying and my Grandpa's old Pinto. You know, they
Speaker 2: were crazy. I didn't take a heel loan until my
Speaker 2: senior year, and I paid that one off first right
Speaker 2: because of the high interest that was on it. But
Speaker 2: we were educated in that and.
Speaker 1: This school what you were getting in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the school took some responsibility of saying, we
Speaker 2: don't want you to go out there and be bankrupt,
Speaker 2: you know, in two years, because when you go out
Speaker 2: and you first get in practice, you know, you're building
Speaker 2: a practice, and so you're not going to have this
Speaker 2: huge revenue day one, so to be able to pay
Speaker 2: these things off. It was a responsibility that seemed to
Speaker 2: be there, but it's not there across the board. That
Speaker 2: should be taking place everywhere with the school. And here's
Speaker 2: the thing. If a particular school has a large number
Speaker 2: of students not able to pay off their student.
Speaker 1: Loans, that's indicative of it.
Speaker 2: Let's put some responsibility on the college. And that's what
Speaker 2: the Trump administration is trying to.
Speaker 1: Do, right, And that's that illustrates perfectly what you're talking
Speaker 1: about earlier, which is does that degree provide you with
Speaker 1: a source of revenue.
Speaker 2: I've always said, you know what, I have nothing against
Speaker 2: a four year degree. I have three of them. I
Speaker 2: believe you might have two, two or three college and
Speaker 2: law school, yeah combined. I have nothing against those higher degrees.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, for example, as a surgeon.
Speaker 2: There's a lot I can do in the operating room.
Speaker 2: I can't build that operating room. No, you can can't
Speaker 2: fix that equipment.
Speaker 1: Amen. I make that point about elected officials. We elect
Speaker 1: them to make decisions over matters that they have no comprehension, right,
Speaker 1: you know they think Guam's going to capsize. Representative of
Speaker 1: said Guama's gonna tip over. I mean we elected that guy.
Speaker 1: You think he has any idea how to science industry,
Speaker 1: I mean any of that. He's got no clue, so
Speaker 1: and yet making decisions on our behalf. Let's pause, We'll
Speaker 1: bring Brad back. I mentioned, you know, Gate to Heaven,
Speaker 1: Gate Heaven and Montgomery. It is a beautiful, beautiful place.
Speaker 1: You want to a place for quiet contemplation, reflection, maybe exhalation,

Speaker 1: Fift about KRC detalk station Brian Thomas with Brad Winster,
Speaker 1: doctor Brad Winster, former Congressman. You know that, talk him
Speaker 1: through the issues, and let's move over to Medicaid reform.
Speaker 1: Everybody's out there whaling in nash teeth. Donald Trump's gonna
Speaker 1: take away Medicaid. Donald Trump's gonna take away Medicaid. No
Speaker 1: he's not. We're gonna try to reform it. If you're
Speaker 1: able bodied and capable of working, you should at least
Speaker 1: be forced to try to work or get some job
Speaker 1: skills which will be happy to pay for, but you
Speaker 1: can't take medicaid. Brad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's been interesting too and seeing the results
Speaker 2: of expanding Medicaid. Look, I am all favor in favor
Speaker 2: of a country that has safety nets for those in need.
Speaker 2: But as it's been said before, it shouldn't be a hammock.
Speaker 2: It should be a safety net right, and we want
Speaker 2: to provide for people on their path to independence. Financial independence.
Speaker 2: Everything else should be designed to be a temporary bridge, yes,
Speaker 2: if at all possible. Now there's some I know with disabilities, etc.
Speaker 2: That it's not going to be and I get that,
Speaker 2: and we want to be able to provide. But there's
Speaker 2: strong evidence that has been shown that there's a shift
Speaker 2: of financial resources with the expansion away from taking care
Speaker 2: of the most vulnerable, and that's the narrative that we
Speaker 2: need to be talking about. We want to reform it
Speaker 2: so that we can do things like preventive medicine and
Speaker 2: medicaid and do things that really help the most vulnerable,
Speaker 2: help pregnant women, especially if you're in poverty and you're pregnant,
Speaker 2: you may be undernourished, all of these types of things
Speaker 2: are you're getting your perinatal care, all these things to
Speaker 2: then produce another healthy American exactly. Those areas rather than
Speaker 2: covering down for people that could be working that aren't working.
Speaker 2: The expansion has been disastrous for many and it's time
Speaker 2: to take a common sense approach to helping people all
Speaker 2: in all, consistent with what we have just said in
Speaker 2: the Doctor's Caucus.
Speaker 1: We want to be the healthiest nation on the planet.
Speaker 1: I credit.
Speaker 2: Director Kennedy Secretary Kennedy for saying make America healthy again.
Speaker 2: You know, let's be the healthiest nation on the planet.
Speaker 2: And yesterday he addressed reforming snap as well.
Speaker 1: We don't pay for SODA's, soft drinks, sugary beverages like that,
Speaker 1: among other things. We we actually pay for people to
Speaker 1: just pollute their bodies and and and move them closer
Speaker 1: to diabetes and obesity. And fraud is a problem too.
Speaker 2: You you mentioned off air you can't buy cigarettes, and
Speaker 2: but what you can do is I sell your snap
Speaker 2: card for cash so that you can then go out
Speaker 2: and pay for those.
Speaker 1: I used to watch that when I worked in Finley
Speaker 1: Market back in the eighties, Harry's Meats and Seafood. Shout
Speaker 1: out to the Geiger brothers if they're out there, and
Speaker 1: the guys that used to work there. But that was
Speaker 1: the first time I encountered food stamps. I grew up
Speaker 1: in a nice neighborhood and people were not relying upon
Speaker 1: public's assistance. And I'm not dissing the concept, but they
Speaker 1: would swap them outside the store. People would hand over
Speaker 1: food stamps your five dollars increments or ten dollars stamps
Speaker 1: or one dollar stamps in return for cash exactly cash,
Speaker 1: you get discounts. So five dollars in food stamps maybe
Speaker 1: net you two or three dollars, but you could take
Speaker 1: the two or three dollars and go down to buy smokes.
Speaker 2: So the person using the card should have to identify themselves.
Speaker 2: It seems to me just just the same as amming
Speaker 2: to identify yourself when you're buying alcohol, the same as
Speaker 2: you have to identify yourself for so many things. It's
Speaker 2: only fair. Look, it's it's we are a giving nation.
Speaker 2: I get that, but we shouldn't be doing more harm.
Speaker 2: What's well the idea is a doctor do no harm,
Speaker 2: do no harm.
Speaker 1: And who say no, no, no. People have a choice
Speaker 1: with you. You're just being you know, you can't to
Speaker 1: deny them the opportunity of choice with what we give
Speaker 1: them by way of public assistance. Like wait a second,
Speaker 1: that would be encouraging harm. You know, if you allow
Speaker 1: a snap card to be used to purchase literally pollutants,
Speaker 1: unhealthy products to put in your body, then that's a
Speaker 1: government who enables you know, poisoning. Well, I mean I
Speaker 1: hate to be so harsh with my conclusions on that,
Speaker 1: but that, to me, that's what sodas are nothing. But
Speaker 1: you know, sugar injected in your system, which has no
Speaker 1: nutritional benefit whatsoever. Why make that an option?
Speaker 2: And you know what the argument has been that I've
Speaker 2: heard it. I heard it in Washington. Well, Brad, rich
Speaker 2: people get to buy at bad foods, why shouldn't everyone.
Speaker 2: The point is, you know what, there's there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people with money that end up doing more to
Speaker 2: protect themselves, to keep themselves healthy. Yes, they can buy
Speaker 2: those things, and yes many of them do, but they
Speaker 2: also pay for but they shouldn't. But they also pay
Speaker 2: for their own healthcare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that valid point. But that's not an argument
Speaker 1: that these because rich people can buy them, that they
Speaker 1: even should buy them in the first place. We discourage
Speaker 1: it across across the board that they want to make
Speaker 1: stupid choices. They're entitled to make stupid choices too, they
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to do it on the back of
Speaker 1: the taxpayer. Will continue one more segment with Brad Winnstrip

Speaker 1: the talk station. Brian Thomas Swift, doctor Brad when Srip
Speaker 1: former Congressman going through the issues and Catholic he is.
Speaker 1: I mentioned Gataheaven Cemetery. He's got a couple of plots
Speaker 1: there for him and his wife. Congress or former Congressman
Speaker 1: Winstrip a comment or two about the pope. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get a more conservative pope this time because I have
Speaker 1: many I grew up in an all Catholic neighborhood except
Speaker 1: for me, basically got lots and lots and lots of
Speaker 1: Catholic friends. Many of my listening audience are Catholics, and
Speaker 1: I have not run into a single one that had
Speaker 1: well appreciated or liked the direction that the deceased pope.
Speaker 1: The recently deceased Pope took the messaging very left wing,
Speaker 1: very liberally. He's sounded like a socialists, which rubbed a
Speaker 1: lot of people the wrong way. Do you think there'll
Speaker 1: be a more conservative pope this time?
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that that's going to be the
Speaker 2: trend because there was a lot of controversy around this
Speaker 2: pope who had good intentions, but he's human like any
Speaker 2: other pope, and so it should be an interesting go
Speaker 2: round this time.
Speaker 1: You know, those of us our.
Speaker 2: Age, Brian, we have vivid memories of John Paul the Second,
Speaker 2: Oh sure, and that was an entirely different time and
Speaker 2: and a different pope, pope, and different approach from this pope.
Speaker 2: You know, he was he was dealing with issues of
Speaker 2: evil in the world, Communism, you know, from his home
Speaker 2: country of Poland. It was it was inflicted upon them,
Speaker 2: and he would work with Ronald Reagan. I mean, two
Speaker 2: of my heroes in my lifetime, two of my inspirations
Speaker 2: for my Catholicism and for my patriotism as an American right.
Speaker 1: And so it was a different time.
Speaker 2: But I think it's time we take could closer look
Speaker 2: at what really matters. And so it's one thing has
Speaker 2: always bothered me when I would hear things from the pulpit, Well,
Speaker 2: let's pray for our leadership and for our members of
Speaker 2: Congress and this not to be more compassionate. It's really
Speaker 2: up to us, Brian, It's up to us as individuals.
Speaker 2: I have high respect for Cardinal Dolan out of New York.
Speaker 2: I don't know that he would get it. Politically, I
Speaker 2: don't think the world's ready maybe for an American pope,
Speaker 2: and maybe they should be at this place in time.
Speaker 2: But I think that Dolan said he's searching for the
Speaker 2: energy of John Paul the Second, the intellect of Benedict,
Speaker 2: and the heart of Francis, And I don't disagree with
Speaker 2: all that. I think Francis Poe. Francis had a big heart,
Speaker 2: but he was more you know, he was brought up
Speaker 2: in more of a socialist regime, and he was known.
Speaker 1: To walk away from the fundamental doctrinal, dogmatic prince of
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church in order to accommodate modern times. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not the role of the pope. I thought the
Speaker 1: role of the pope was to uphold the church ideals
Speaker 1: in doctrinal dogmatic principles exactly.
Speaker 2: You know, for me as a Catholic, I don't want
Speaker 2: a church that accommodates my sins, right. I want a
Speaker 2: church that forgives my sins right, but don't accommodate them.
Speaker 2: You know, you can love the sinner but hate the sin.
Speaker 2: All of those things are how I was brought up.
Speaker 2: And so some of the things that may be controversial
Speaker 2: to many, that doesn't mean you can't still love the
Speaker 2: person that may be part of that controversy. And just
Speaker 2: just looking at marriage and the Catholic Church, we call
Speaker 2: it matrimony, which the origin of that word is the
Speaker 2: making of a mother.
Speaker 1: Which limits it to men and women getting married. I
Speaker 1: understand your point on that. I'm not a Catholic, so
Speaker 1: I don't struggle with doctrinal dogmatic issues. You sure do
Speaker 1: know a lot of of them, and I know that well.
Speaker 1: I told you, man, and I know you want to
Speaker 1: a word or two about the what I believe prosecutors
Speaker 1: are referring to as the murder of Deputy Larry Henderson
Speaker 1: is such as shuts of tragedy that he was intentionally
Speaker 1: hit and run by a car following the shooting of
Speaker 1: the younger Hint and Rodney Hinton Junior has been charged
Speaker 1: with his murder. I know you wanted to comment on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm really taken by this in many
Speaker 2: ways as you might imagine. You know, I've been a
Speaker 2: strong protector of law enforcements as you have, and you
Speaker 2: know we endured the loud cries of the defund the police.
Speaker 2: And although I do think it's still out there. It
Speaker 2: has died down quite a bit, and some people politically
Speaker 2: have changed their mind on that. From the other side,
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that really has me
Speaker 2: upset in a lot of ways is the reaction that
Speaker 2: his taken place. There's a go Fundme page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw. The Sheriff's department was seeking to get
Speaker 1: that removed because that violates Go Fundmes rules. You can't
Speaker 1: create a funding page for people who've been charged with
Speaker 1: heinous crimes. So I hope that's the case. Well, no
Speaker 1: one had given any money to at least as of
Speaker 1: the last time.
Speaker 2: There wasn't much I saw, like five thousand dollars or
Speaker 2: something that's dollars. But the reaction to defend thieves and
Speaker 2: murders as victims to me as appalling. But that's very
Speaker 2: deep rooted and misdirected, and I think it has a
Speaker 2: lot to do with what was put in people's minds,
Speaker 2: whether through social media or whatever, to turn everyone into
Speaker 2: too a victim. I'm very saddened by this, but you know,
Speaker 2: we were just talking about the pope. I think for
Speaker 2: the family, I'm extremely sorry and I hope to reach
Speaker 2: out to them and hope that they can understand that
Speaker 2: there's a lot of support for them in their grief
Speaker 2: without question. And you know, I like a lot of times,
Speaker 2: I'm only comforted by the promise of heaven and that
Speaker 2: gets me through a lot of.
Speaker 1: Things, you know, and that really does work for so
Speaker 1: many people. You know, you get the looking forward to
Speaker 1: the peace of God. Brad Weinster, I love you, brother,
