Speaker 1: It's Soto six if if you've have a Karsene talk station.
Speaker 1: A very happy Wednesday to Trian Thomas. Always with a
Speaker 1: smile on my face when I get to look across
Speaker 1: the board here and see now retired Congressman Brad Winster.
Speaker 1: But he's not retired and he's still he's actually harder
Speaker 1: at work now than he was when he was an
Speaker 1: elected official. Brad Winster, welcome back to the Morning show,
Speaker 1: my dear friend. It's always great having you in. Thank you, Brian.
Speaker 1: Appreciate your willingness to come in so we can actually
Speaker 1: engage any face to face communication.
Speaker 2: Well, I've always enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm still a patriot and still trying to
Speaker 3: move the country in the right direction wherever I can,
Speaker 3: as you are, and to have the opportunity to come
Speaker 3: in here and message a little bit to your good listeners, yeah,
Speaker 3: I appreciate.
Speaker 1: Well, I know they enjoy hearing from you. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know what it's like to be a representative. You
Speaker 1: know what the sausage making process is like. And I
Speaker 1: suspect back on a lot of levels in spite of
Speaker 1: the direction that we're going, and I think Trump is
Speaker 1: making some positive changes that we'll talk about here this
Speaker 1: morning in a moment. But it would probably be a
Speaker 1: much easier time to be a Republican right now than
Speaker 1: the period of time when you were serving, right Lord Almighty?
Speaker 3: Well, yes, and no, I mean you saw yesterday that
Speaker 3: there's you know, a little bit of squabbling going on
Speaker 3: within the members of the House. You know, one thing
Speaker 3: I always said is never say what you'll never do,
Speaker 3: because you never know what the environment's.
Speaker 2: Going to be like and how you need to change.
Speaker 3: And so sometimes people have done that, gotten elected on it,
Speaker 3: and then they find themselves in a difficult position.
Speaker 2: No new taxes for example.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, learn from that. And so it's a team sport,
Speaker 3: and so sometimes you got to come together and bite
Speaker 3: the bullet a little bit on something. You got a
Speaker 3: president who's going to pursue an agenda that you should
Speaker 3: be totally in favor of, and we are. But you
Speaker 3: get into some the details, and what happened yesterday was interesting.
Speaker 3: Of course, you had some people holding out on the
Speaker 3: Republican side, and everybody wants things that they want, and
Speaker 3: you got to keep working it. You just have to
Speaker 3: keep working it. But let's get this ball moving down field. Right,
Speaker 3: and you know, because really what happened yesterday to pass
Speaker 3: that bill, it's just a first down, it's a thirty
Speaker 3: yard gain, but it's as a first down, right, Right.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of work that needs to be done.
Speaker 1: The Senate wants, for example, increase them. We'll get more
Speaker 1: tax cuts and maybe more cuts across the government spending,
Speaker 1: which I embrace. And of course, as as reported widely,
Speaker 1: there's some the moderate Republicans are saying, oh no, we
Speaker 1: can't do that. My state will suffer because you're going
Speaker 1: to be taking Medicaid dollars away from It's like, wait
Speaker 1: a second, you know, why don't you put some attention
Speaker 1: to ferreting out the fraud, wasted abuse. And I bet
Speaker 1: you like Ohio will be able to find like ten
Speaker 1: billion dollars in erroneous payments and that won't hurt you.
Speaker 1: Then if there have to be some cuts.
Speaker 3: The more you can cut down on fraud, the more
Speaker 3: you can do for those that really need it and
Speaker 3: that the government was designed for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the longer the program will be available for
Speaker 2: those who truly do need it.
Speaker 3: Right, But we also have an administration compared to say
Speaker 3: the Obama administration, President Obama all we got more people
Speaker 3: insured than ever before, where a lot of that was medicate.
Speaker 3: I can tell you as a doctor, it's one of
Speaker 3: the worst programs in America as far as health, highest
Speaker 3: mortality and morbidity over the years, and least access to care.
Speaker 3: What we want to me success is fewer people needing
Speaker 3: the safety nets, fewer people in a position to have
Speaker 3: to rely on taxpayer dollars to survive.
Speaker 2: I like that we have.
Speaker 3: Safety nets, but let's make that a smaller group of
Speaker 3: Americans and make it just a temporary pause in your
Speaker 3: life and you get back on your feet.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, if I could wave a magic wand
Speaker 1: the way to avoid and reduce the expenditures related to
Speaker 1: Medicaid or even Medicare bombacare, if we all took better
Speaker 1: care of ourselves. You know, you get in front of
Speaker 1: you know that we treat symptoms in medicine, we don't
Speaker 1: treat the core reason for the symptoms. In many cases.
Speaker 1: You know, oh, here's a pill for that. You got
Speaker 1: high cholesterol, Here, take this pill. You got pain, you know,
Speaker 1: here take this pill or something along those lines, and
Speaker 1: they don't get to the root cause. Preventative medicine I
Speaker 1: think it's.
Speaker 3: The Congressional Budget Office, and this is something that we
Speaker 3: faced and as a Doctor's Caucus, we brought CBO in
Speaker 3: and discuss the savings that come with prevention, preventative medicine,
Speaker 3: being ahead of the curve, incentivizing prevention.
Speaker 2: I'll give you example.
Speaker 3: I was talking to the one of the representatives from
Speaker 3: Humana on the hill, good guy, able to have a conversation,
Speaker 3: and I said, you know, what makes sense to me
Speaker 3: that if you have in humanity five thousand employees that
Speaker 3: you just signed up for a health plan and three
Speaker 3: hundred of them are insulin dependent diabetics, I'll tell you
Speaker 3: what you should do. You should have them able to
Speaker 3: come in and see their doctor, oh, three times a
Speaker 3: year with no Copey one, they'll go. If there's no Copey,
Speaker 3: they will go. Secondly, then that increases the decreases the
Speaker 3: chances of being hospitalized because you're going to be on
Speaker 3: top of your health. You're going to be ahead of
Speaker 3: the game. That's what you we should be. After the
Speaker 3: Doctor's Caucus, we said healthiest nation on the planet. And
Speaker 3: this is before make America healthy again. This is what
Speaker 3: we were thriving for. And we're talking about obviously changes
Speaker 3: in programs like SNAP, but also kids understanding in school
Speaker 3: what health is about, what a vegetable is, what are
Speaker 3: healthy foods? Are we really teaching that and getting that
Speaker 3: ingrained in our schools? How about the President's Physical Fitness Program?
Speaker 3: So starting with young age, but making this the mantra
Speaker 3: across the United States that we're out to make you healthy.
Speaker 3: So you you go to AHHS, and this is where
Speaker 3: I think Kennedy can do great things. You know, you
Speaker 3: look at HHS and you look at all these employees
Speaker 3: and you're like, we don't need you. You're not doing
Speaker 3: anything here today. That's making us a healthier nation, right right,
Speaker 3: And that's that's where we should be headed. We need
Speaker 3: to look at that. And I don't think you know,
Speaker 3: there shouldn't be if I was a government employee and say,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm quite capable. I know I can make
Speaker 3: it on the civilian side, can you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And you and I are talking off air, I mean
Speaker 1: all the whaling and gnashing your teeth about oh my god,
Speaker 1: these people have mortgages and families and they need to
Speaker 1: feed them. So as it's like I've never had a
Speaker 1: job that had guaranteed employment. Ever, you know, I saw
Speaker 1: the other day Starbucks laid off one thousand or fifteen
Speaker 1: hundred of their management folks or downside right sizing. In fact,
Speaker 1: the reason for the cuts was to improve the function
Speaker 1: of the business, to make it a better, more well
Speaker 1: oiled machine, to get them more profitable all things. And
Speaker 1: for example, shareholders want the share prices went up when
Speaker 1: they got rid of those people. No one was out
Speaker 1: protesting in the streets. No one's out protesting when all
Speaker 1: the Eastern Kentucky coal migers lost their jobs because of
Speaker 1: green policies, and no one cried for the XL pipeline
Speaker 1: workers when Biden canceled that. But if it's a government employee,
Speaker 1: well we all we obviously we all need to wal
Speaker 1: and and wear our hearts on our sleeves. It just
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 3: Well, government agencies should not be the w p A
Speaker 3: right from the depression, right, Well here, we'll just create
Speaker 3: jobs for you. But actually, the people in the w
Speaker 3: p A, I believe they built the wall on Columbia Parkway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, impress a few. My grandfather, my mom's dad, and
Speaker 1: you know, I love him. He was a great guy.
Speaker 2: He and it was.
Speaker 1: It was poverty central back then. I mean we're talking
Speaker 1: about Great Depression poverty. I mean he told me stories about,
Speaker 1: you know, the hunger and the searching for the jobs.
Speaker 1: When he was a teenager, he was on a w
Speaker 1: P A project and I don't know what he was
Speaker 1: responsible for. I don't I've got a picture of him
Speaker 1: with the entire crew that he was on. It's a
Speaker 1: huge picture and it's all yellow, and it's cracking, and
Speaker 1: want to have it, you know, sort of remounted and
Speaker 1: and and and fixed.
Speaker 2: But that aside.
Speaker 1: He became a lifelong Democrat because FDR gave a job
Speaker 1: of the WPA at a time when his family was starving.
Speaker 1: You know that that's was that it bought him or
Speaker 1: that program bought a Democrat lifetime loyalty.
Speaker 2: But he was working. He wasn't actually working exactly.
Speaker 3: You know. I love the movie Cinderella Man, true story
Speaker 3: about James Bradeck, a boxer who has to give up
Speaker 3: his kids and go on on welfare and he's banned
Speaker 3: from boxing. He gets the chance to come back in
Speaker 3: he ends up becoming heavyweight champ of the world. But
Speaker 3: the money he got while on welfare, he returned and
Speaker 3: he said, well, I figure, if I'm fortunate to live
Speaker 3: in a country that helps me when I'm down, I
Speaker 3: had to pay it back when I'm up. And I've
Speaker 3: had a string of good luck lately. Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I wish every had had a student loan had that attitude. Right,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm sorry I had to get down that road.
Speaker 1: The opportunity presented itself. It's seven point fifteen. Will continue
Speaker 1: with former Congressman brad Winstrop, who is still working for
Speaker 1: the American people. It's not getting paid for it, but
Speaker 1: he's got a role in the administration. We're gonna learn
Speaker 1: all about that in the next segment, among other things.
Speaker 1: But first, Affordable Imaging Services Echo card got your echo cardiogram.
Speaker 1: At Affordable Imaging Services, you don't have to pay thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars or more at the hospital. It's just
Speaker 1: hospital imaging departments are just massive cash cows. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the cost of medicine, it doesn't have to cost thirty
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars, doesn't You don't have to pay a
Speaker 1: separate bill for the hospital or for the radiologist report.
Speaker 1: You go to Affordable Imaging Services and Echo cardiogram without
Speaker 1: enhancement five hundred bucks.
Speaker 2: You need an enhancement, it's eight hundred.
Speaker 1: It comes with a board certified radiologist support with you
Speaker 1: and your doctor will both get within forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: You get no bells and whistles, but at the same
Speaker 1: kind of hospital equipment for the imaging, whether it's an
Speaker 1: echo cardogram, mri, CT scan, ultrasound, same type of equipment
Speaker 1: with experts that have been doing this for like forty years.
Speaker 1: So why is it so expensive at the hospital? I
Speaker 1: have no idea. Maybe it's the overhead. Maybe it's the
Speaker 1: fact that most people will just default do what their
Speaker 1: doctor says and go to the hospital that owns that
Speaker 1: doctor's practice. You do have a choice when it comes
Speaker 1: to your medical care, so why not check it out.

Speaker 1: scoop with Bright Barton news Lendon Beer Chief all over
Speaker 1: Land at eight o five and fast forward to eight
Speaker 1: thirty Judgent Nepaul Town of the Meantime in studio, former
Speaker 1: Congressman brad Winstroup, who's not really retired. I understand you
Speaker 1: are on the Intelligence Advisory Board now correct.
Speaker 3: I'm honored the President Trump selected me with a group
Speaker 3: of about I think it's ten to twelve people. It's
Speaker 3: going to be led by Devin Newnez, who of course
Speaker 3: was the Intelligence Chair when I first got on the
Speaker 3: Intelligence Committee, and I was fortunate to serve ten years
Speaker 3: there and some Actually one of the staffers, Scott glib
Speaker 3: is also on the committee.
Speaker 2: He was a staffer on Intel.
Speaker 3: And you know, as I look at this, it's really
Speaker 3: an amazing thing. The President's directive is to advise the
Speaker 3: President on our on the national security challenges that we face,
Speaker 3: advance his agenda, which within the Intelligence Committee, which is
Speaker 3: to be an agencies that have integrity, that can be trusted.
Speaker 3: And it's really kind of fun for me because as
Speaker 3: I look, Cash Pttel was one of our staffers on
Speaker 3: the Intelligence Committee. Now he's head of the FBI. While yeah,
Speaker 3: Mike Waltz one of my dear friends in Congress was
Speaker 3: on the Intelligence Committee with me. Now NSA Director John Radcliffe,
Speaker 3: charge of the CIA, it was on Intelligence Committee with me.
Speaker 3: So I feel very fortunate to be in this position
Speaker 3: because they're really basically there's things. You know, government never ends,
Speaker 3: but there are things that I was working on in
Speaker 3: the intelligence realm that need completion. And now I feel
Speaker 3: with this administration and with the opportunity with this board,
Speaker 3: there'll be a lot of things that we can finish
Speaker 3: investigations for example.
Speaker 1: Okay, and having that, I guess you have the highest
Speaker 1: level security clearance that I mean that I mean you
Speaker 1: obviously have security clearance to be on these committees. You
Speaker 1: did when you were on the committee when you were
Speaker 1: an elected official, so you maintain that security clearance.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going through that process. I have to start
Speaker 3: all over again, do you really? Yeah, But it's really interesting.
Speaker 3: I started to fill out the forms that you have
Speaker 3: to fill out and get it electronically, and they had
Speaker 3: almost every everything in there from not from my congressional
Speaker 3: clearance because there you just get it, but from my military.
Speaker 3: So all you know, because they're asking down to your
Speaker 3: childhood and whose lifelong friend and things like that that
Speaker 3: they can reach out to. So it's like, oh, this
Speaker 3: is great, half of it's already filled out already. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so but yet you have to go through that process again.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how much time it takes.
Speaker 3: I think it'll get me to DC a couple times
Speaker 3: a month maybe, or a couple of days a month.
Speaker 3: They're putting together a staff and working on it. But
Speaker 3: I think it's a it's a really great opportunity and
Speaker 3: I'm and I'm honored to have that and I.
Speaker 1: Really feel like continued chance to serve the country. Well,
Speaker 1: it's great, and I'm glad you're doing that. But I
Speaker 1: guess you know, moving back and the period of time
Speaker 1: you're on the Intelligence Committee, there's a lot of things
Speaker 1: that you know about that you can't talk out loud
Speaker 1: about right, correct, that you probably wish you could tell
Speaker 1: say out loud correct. Stuff that would would turn your
Speaker 1: hair white kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like presidents always going into office and they always
Speaker 1: after four years, they always come out they look like
Speaker 1: they've aged a decade and their hair has already turned white.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the kind of scary stuff that's
Speaker 1: out in the world that most Americans don't even know about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's true. We want.
Speaker 3: What we want, though, is Americans to say I believe
Speaker 3: that that agency is acting on my best, you know,
Speaker 3: my benefit. They're there to serve me, to keep the
Speaker 3: country safe, uh, to inform the president things like that.
Speaker 1: Well, isn't that what the NSA was supposed to be doing?
Speaker 1: And then we find out they're in chat rooms all
Speaker 1: day talking about their perversions through the DEI program.
Speaker 3: Well, those are problems because the agencies, you know, they
Speaker 3: always start sounding with, you know, great intent. But you know,
Speaker 3: our country started it with just three agencies, State, Treasury,
Speaker 3: and War. And I think everyone can make a case
Speaker 3: for those agencies. But now we have eighteen agencies and
Speaker 3: they're all over the place, and within the intelligence community
Speaker 3: there's many you know, you mentioned that though, if you
Speaker 3: look at what we did in the last two years
Speaker 3: where I was able to chair the Pandemic Committee, had
Speaker 3: great staff and great members of Congress working on it.
Speaker 3: That is an unclassified report, five hundred and twenty pages
Speaker 3: of unclassified material within seventeen pages of recommendations. But I
Speaker 3: started investigating COVID the day it began starting to look
Speaker 3: for how do we treat this thing? And then you
Speaker 3: get into well, where the heck did it come from
Speaker 3: and how and so those are things that been working
Speaker 3: on for a long time, and there's more on the
Speaker 3: classified side. But I was pleased to see CIA come
Speaker 3: out during the transition between the administration saying well, we
Speaker 3: really think it came from the LAB. And I think
Speaker 3: Director Burns who you know, other side of the aisle,
Speaker 3: but I'd gotten to know him, That's who I have
Speaker 3: to work with, right And I think that he was
Speaker 3: continuing to investigate and that there were things out there,
Speaker 3: some things he showed me that could lean towards more
Speaker 3: towards lab leak, and I think he wanted to make
Speaker 3: sure that it was known that the CIA was still
Speaker 3: continuing to investigate this and share that with John Ratcliffe
Speaker 3: as he was as he was coming in. And that's
Speaker 3: when they came out and said we believe it came
Speaker 3: from a lab leak.
Speaker 1: You know, I probably if I pulled my listening audience,
Speaker 1: I couldn't come up with a single one who thinks
Speaker 1: it didn't come from Alas.
Speaker 2: Oh exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean, Brian, the forensics are so in your face
Speaker 3: and there are virtually none to say it came from nature,
Speaker 3: except that the fact that some viruses do come from nature.
Speaker 3: Most viruses do come from nature.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they don't have the modifications that are shown
Speaker 1: on the COVID nineteenis.
Speaker 3: For example, you know COVID nineteen has a fear in
Speaker 3: cleavage site. That is the type of research we were
Speaker 3: doing in Wuhan, China and pain for it was inserting
Speaker 3: fere incleavad sites on coronaviruses right right, and that type
Speaker 3: of coronavirus had never had a fear in cleavad site
Speaker 3: in nature. The fere and cleavad site is what makes
Speaker 3: it more infectious to humans.
Speaker 1: Jeez, Louise, why why why do we gauge in that
Speaker 1: kind of research? Seven twenty six right now for the
Speaker 1: five K Steve Talk Station. We will continue with brad
Speaker 1: Winstrip after this break. And I am so honored to speaking.
Speaker 1: Wehalf about Herbert Motors. What a great company they are
Speaker 1: founded more than seventy five years ago, fifth generation, family
Speaker 1: owned and operative business serving the greater Cincinnati area for
Speaker 1: that long. And you're working with a Herbert family member.
Speaker 1: They're proud of what they do and what they do
Speaker 1: is give you attention, talk about what your needs are
Speaker 1: in terms of well lawn equipment, and they only service
Speaker 1: and sell the world class brand. You got your John
Speaker 1: Deere lawn tractors, your dear Compact utility tractors, x Mark mowers,
Speaker 1: steel power equipment, and Honda power equipment, and they know
Speaker 1: everything about what they're selling. And you're not going to
Speaker 1: get that kind of attention, detail and knowledge at a
Speaker 1: box store. And you're certainly not going to be working
Speaker 1: with a family member who's proud of their company, wants
Speaker 1: to keep that company name. Uh Well bulletproof and it is.
Speaker 1: It took great care of me, and I know they
Speaker 1: will do that with you. So they'll work with you
Speaker 1: to find the right mower, tractor or steel power equipment
Speaker 1: the best fits your needs, and you get service after
Speaker 1: the sale. They service everything that they sell, and they
Speaker 1: like you to know they are the ones that will
Speaker 1: work with you, and you'd be proud of I'm proud
Speaker 1: that you listened to me and took me up on
Speaker 1: my advice. Called but Herbert Motors and five one three,
Speaker 1: five four one thirty two ninety one impressive product knowledge
Speaker 1: and customer service five one three, five four one thirty
Speaker 1: two ninety one online. But Hebertmotors dot.
Speaker 5: Com fifty five KRC Are you a business owner?
Speaker 1: CEO Brian Thomas with brad Winstrip in studio, retired Congressman
Speaker 1: doctor brad Winstrip. But I can't leave this COVID discussion,
Speaker 1: all right. The Wuhan Institute Virology pretty much ninety nine
Speaker 1: point nine nine percent sure the boat, the the virus
Speaker 1: was created there unleashed on the world, whether intentionally or acts. Iidentally,
Speaker 1: We'll let people speculate on that all day long. But
Speaker 1: then comes the vaccine, and then come the edicts and
Speaker 1: mandates related to the vaccine. I understand that people with
Speaker 1: co morbid conditions, you know, who is dropping and being
Speaker 1: being killed by COVID because of their health state. And
Speaker 1: that's what the vaccine was designed to help right out
Speaker 1: of the gate. But then they started requiring everyone to
Speaker 1: get it, and they started firing people and preventing people
Speaker 1: from employment opportunities because they refuse to get it. Now
Speaker 1: we've got I mean, here we are fast forward four
Speaker 1: plus years since a Hillary's Children's hospital denying a child
Speaker 1: a heart transplant a heart transplant because she has not
Speaker 1: been vaccinated against COVID. COVID vaccine does not prevent you
Speaker 1: from contracting COVID. But what we do know is that
Speaker 1: there are a lot of documented cases of minocarditis. So
Speaker 1: it seems wholly inconsistent from a medical standpoint to force
Speaker 1: a child to get a COVID vaccine when she's getting
Speaker 1: a heart transplant, because the vaccine is still going to
Speaker 1: be running around in her body and they cause myocarditis
Speaker 1: in the new heart, right, I mean, if I drawn
Speaker 1: the line in the right direction on that one. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: when you have a transplant, though, you're going to be
Speaker 1: immuno compromised. I mean because you are working.
Speaker 3: Against you know, all types of infections and you're gending
Speaker 3: a transplant, so there's a graft versus host disease. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: so you do want to take every precaution that you can, but.
Speaker 1: Interesting to a compromise for literally any bug that's floating
Speaker 1: around the air.
Speaker 2: To a degree.
Speaker 3: But you know you are on medications that will try
Speaker 3: to allow you to accept that heart right someone else.
Speaker 3: So that being said, I can I can understand that concern.
Speaker 3: But you mentioned the myocarditis. I'll give you an example
Speaker 3: of how crazy things were. I had a county commissioner
Speaker 3: out in one of the rural counties and he said, hey, Brad, Congressman, Doc,
Speaker 3: my son perfectly healthy. They said he's got to get
Speaker 3: vaccinated to school high school. And I said, are you
Speaker 3: probably worried about myocarditis, aren't you? And he said yeah.
Speaker 3: I said he should be. I said, I tell you
Speaker 3: what you know, as I look at things right now,
Speaker 3: if they're going to make him do it in some way,
Speaker 3: shape or form, you get one dose of the Pfizer
Speaker 3: vaccine because that is the stronger build up of immunity
Speaker 3: that you can get from that. I don't know that
Speaker 3: he even needs a vaccine, but you know that being said, the.
Speaker 1: Likelihood of death and risk of death is minimus with
Speaker 1: young people right look at the right exactly exactly feels
Speaker 1: zero point two percent or something for people who are
Speaker 1: otherwise healthy.
Speaker 3: And this was it was so bizarre what was taking place.
Speaker 3: But anyways, if he gets one dose, he's going to
Speaker 3: be covered really well because that's the that's the dose
Speaker 3: that gives you the most immunity. The second dose doesn't
Speaker 3: do that much for you. And it's after the second
Speaker 3: dose that we're seeing the myocarditis. So just get a
Speaker 3: note from the doctor saying he's had one dose. He
Speaker 3: you know, they wouldn't accept that. Who doesn't accept it?
Speaker 3: Like the school board? I mean, this is crazy. We
Speaker 3: took doctors out of the equation. Doctors were being punished
Speaker 3: for trying to treat patients in front of them that
Speaker 3: are sick and dying using ivermectin hydroxy coork when doing
Speaker 3: no harm in that process. It's so out of control.
Speaker 3: There are so many lessons learned. This COVID has revealed
Speaker 3: so many problems within our system and within our government.
Speaker 3: I mean, thank goodness, for example, for our troops. Hey,
Speaker 3: you know what, you can come back. You can come
Speaker 3: back without penalty. A lot of harm's been done though
Speaker 3: already see that's where I go back to, a lot
Speaker 3: of harm's been done. There was no scientific justification for
Speaker 3: doing it, and a lot of people's lives were impacted
Speaker 3: terrifically and horrifically based upon the edicts and mandates but
Speaker 3: which I believe and as the case law is coming out,
Speaker 3: were unlawful from the get go. Well, if you think
Speaker 3: of the military, when I would travel un need vaccines
Speaker 3: for certain things for certain.
Speaker 1: Reasons, I know you sign up, and you and when
Speaker 1: you sign up, you have to do things that you
Speaker 1: otherwise might not.
Speaker 3: But here was the logic behind those. I don't get
Speaker 3: them necessarily, Yeah, all of them until I'm deploying to
Speaker 3: up region.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they had malaria there, then you get a
Speaker 1: malaria vaccine. I understand that. But if you're an area
Speaker 1: that h have malaria, then you don't get a malaria vaccine.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 3: It depends on it's risk versus benefit, right right. It
Speaker 3: should always be risk versus benefit. And that's what I
Speaker 3: touch on it and a piece of I'm writing right now,
Speaker 3: and it comes down to it. You know, I look
Speaker 3: at when I was growing up, my mom's first cousin,
Speaker 3: somebody I spent a lot of time with. She got
Speaker 3: polio at age four. I sadly would see pictures of
Speaker 3: her running around the yard. You know, before she got polio,
Speaker 3: there was no vaccine.
Speaker 2: Then happen an iron lung.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and those I'm in those things who are happening,
Speaker 1: I'm glad they have a polio vaccine, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: glad I didn't ended up in an iron lung.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, when we went to our
Speaker 3: pediutrician with my kids. It was she said, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't see a real benefit for your kids getting
Speaker 3: a covid vaccine. But I do see a benefit for
Speaker 3: the poio vaccine. Exactly, I do too, I'm right with you.
Speaker 3: So what do we do. We got the typical childhood
Speaker 3: vaccines that have minimal vaccine injury over the years, and
Speaker 3: we avoided the covid vaccine.
Speaker 1: See, and I did too. And I can't thank my
Speaker 1: lucky stars enough that I did avoid it, got covid,
Speaker 1: hated it. Second time I got it, it was nothing.
Speaker 1: And for most people that I know, it was a
Speaker 1: couple of days of really a bad cold, you know,
Speaker 1: and that was it. I mean, it's like the flu.
Speaker 1: I've had the flu several times in my life. I
Speaker 1: don't get a flu vaccine. You know why, because you
Speaker 1: know I can deal with the flu. It's not that bad.
Speaker 1: And the final analysis seven thirty seven benty bive KOs

Speaker 1: Thomas with Congressman Win Strip in his former congress I
Speaker 1: keep SAYMP, like, I got to get that in there
Speaker 1: because I know you said you run into people all
Speaker 1: the time. I'm like, oh, it must be great being
Speaker 1: up in DC right now with all what's going on,
Speaker 1: and you have to remind them that, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: there anymore, but you are in terms of the Intelligence
Speaker 1: Advisory Board we just talked about. Okay, I want to
Speaker 1: get back to what's on your mind. I mean, what
Speaker 1: would you like to talk about. You had mentioned off
Speaker 1: air before we started our conversation this morning, something about DEI.
Speaker 1: And I know the students at the University of Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: our fellow, our alma mater, you both you and I
Speaker 1: both went there, are protesting over the removal of these
Speaker 1: DEI programs. They seem to be worthless endeavors, and they
Speaker 1: are money suckers, and they don't seem to really accomplish
Speaker 1: anything but stir the pot of agitation and division on campus.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got no problem with them having to
Speaker 1: take the bathroom signs down and have bathrooms assigned.
Speaker 2: For men only and women only.
Speaker 1: And there's your single use bathroom for anybody of any
Speaker 1: particular sexual identity. There's a bathroom for you. So they
Speaker 1: got all the bases covered. But it's really irking a
Speaker 1: lot of students in some of the faculty. So what's
Speaker 1: say you about Donald Trump's efforts and getting rid of
Speaker 1: DEI across the board in Washington, d c.
Speaker 3: Well I had been with doctor Greg Murphy, a fellow
Speaker 3: co chair of the Doctor's Caucus in the House, and
Speaker 3: it was to prohibit any funding for medical schools that
Speaker 3: were doing DEI, and even UCLA. The professors there wrote
Speaker 3: an article that said, you know, we can't teach these students,
Speaker 3: they're not prepared. And I made the case. I knew
Speaker 3: at a young agent wanted to be a doctor, so
Speaker 3: I went to schools that got me ready for that.
Speaker 3: You can't just turn twenty one and say hey, because
Speaker 3: you look like this or whatever the reason is, you
Speaker 3: now go to medical school.
Speaker 2: It takes more than that. You got to pass organic chemistry.
Speaker 2: It's got to be merit based.
Speaker 3: I mean, I was at a thing with the NFL
Speaker 3: and Emmitt Smith got into my face about what are
Speaker 3: you doing for DEI at Intel? You know Intel coming
Speaker 3: to Ohio and I was thinking, well, what did you
Speaker 3: do for your offensive line with DEI, you know, or
Speaker 3: did you make sure that you had the best people
Speaker 3: possible blocking for you and opening those holes? I mean,
Speaker 3: I just see a transgender on the offensive life. I mean,
Speaker 3: the hypocrisy is just unbelievable. But you know, to that point,
Speaker 3: it's it's more harmful because you set people up for failure.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And if you're just saying it's affirmative action, it's already
Speaker 3: been ruled on. It's just a form of a furtive action.
Speaker 3: Here's what you do. In my opinion, and I have
Speaker 3: been always in favor of creating opportunity for people that
Speaker 3: don't normally get it. And I'm telling you the city
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati, and this is mostly the people. City is Sincinnati.
Speaker 3: It's not city council. But you look at what we
Speaker 3: have done in this city. Xavier Jesuit Academy, the Paul
Speaker 3: Christo Ray, the Sise schools, the Catholic schools that are
Speaker 3: out there that take kids and no tuition. You know,
Speaker 3: they're on scholarship. And these are kids that in their
Speaker 3: public schools would not have the opportunity to get the
Speaker 3: high level of education that they're getting.
Speaker 2: You got kids.
Speaker 3: At xaver Jesuit Academy taking STEM classes in grade school,
Speaker 3: you know, and excelling at it, and they're loving it.
Speaker 3: It's an opportunity and get that's where you need to start.
Speaker 3: You need to start there. And I think it would
Speaker 3: be nice to see the University of Cincinnati say, you
Speaker 3: know what, we want to invest some efforts. Maybe we
Speaker 3: take this these these dollars and maybe put them into
Speaker 3: local schools. You know, Cincinnati used to be a city college.
Speaker 3: I know it's a state college. Now put them into
Speaker 3: into a situation in the in this in schools that
Speaker 3: are creating kids that are going to be academically prepared
Speaker 3: for college and whatever else may may come along. That
Speaker 3: I think is the answer. You can't just say just
Speaker 3: because then you get to be here, it doesn't do
Speaker 3: them any good now.
Speaker 2: It doesn't.
Speaker 3: And people are going to doubt their credentials, you know,
Speaker 3: in the future, and that to me is shameful. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone doubted doctor Carson's credentials, right, but
Speaker 3: they might in the future. If you're if you're you know,
Speaker 3: the schools were going to pass fail you know, hey,
Speaker 3: if that is not the way to go. I was
Speaker 3: a residency director, and when you're choosing who you want
Speaker 3: for your residence, you take a look at their grades.
Speaker 3: Past fail doesn't tell you anything.
Speaker 1: Sure as hell doesn't going to pass failed doctor your
Speaker 1: heart procedure, No, I don't think so. Sey five ks detoxtation.

Speaker 1: Uh for one more segment here with Congress of wednesup.
Speaker 1: So moving away from politics and talking about service to country.
Speaker 1: Of course, I probably served as country in America's military
Speaker 1: and continues to serve in various capacities. And you also
Speaker 1: were able to attend a rather moving event the other day,
Speaker 1: and I know you wanted to talk about that, having
Speaker 1: you know, served overseas in foreign wars. Congressman win Ship
Speaker 1: take it away. Yeah, thank you, Brian. You know you
Speaker 1: always do a lot to talk about our veterans. I
Speaker 1: know you have Todd Sledge from the Cincinnati VA and
Speaker 1: oh yeah, a lot.
Speaker 2: A very good man.
Speaker 3: Actually, you know I served in Iraq five oh six
Speaker 3: and before the day I got the call that I
Speaker 3: was going to be deployed. Until the day I got home.
Speaker 3: I kept a journal, but in the past twenty years
Speaker 3: I never looked at it until this past weekend. And
Speaker 3: I did so this past weekend because the Eyes of
Speaker 3: Freedom and maybe probably a lot of your listeners have
Speaker 3: seen the Eyes of Freedom before and if they haven't,
Speaker 3: they they get it on the exhibit. They should. It's
Speaker 3: a beautiful exhibit. We lost so many from Lima Company,
Speaker 3: Ohio National Guard in Iraq and it's a tribute to
Speaker 3: all them. Paintings of the standing around in their uniforms,
Speaker 3: you know, probably from pictures that they had taken, you know,
Speaker 3: while they were deployed, and they have their boots in
Speaker 3: front of it is very, very moving. And you know,
Speaker 3: this was at Saint Xavier last night and we invited
Speaker 3: all the veterans from Saint x alums to come back
Speaker 3: and it was it was a big crowd and a
Speaker 3: very moving event and I was honored to be the MC.
Speaker 3: One of the things that I can contribute to and say, yes,
Speaker 3: I'll be there now that I'm not in Congress because
Speaker 3: I won't have conflicts come up my way necessarily. But
Speaker 3: one of the things that I did because two of
Speaker 3: the young men that were killed while I was there
Speaker 3: went to Saint Xavier High School, so it was particularly
Speaker 3: moving out at Saint x last night. But I went
Speaker 3: back to my journal to write to see what I
Speaker 3: wrote down that day. I have memories of it, vivid
Speaker 3: memories of it, but I wanted to see what I wrote,
Speaker 3: and I just thought I would share that as I
Speaker 3: did last night, Thursday, August fourth, two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: The day started simply and I prayed a Rosary to
Speaker 3: start it. At lunch, on the way out of the
Speaker 3: dining facility, two rockets came whizzing by, landed on the
Speaker 3: landing zone. We hit the ground and gotten a bunker.
Speaker 3: I was with Gaels, Parsons and Braun, Thank you God.
Speaker 3: Otherwise normal clinic day, postops doing fine. Later I wrote
Speaker 3: fourteen Marines killed northwest of here, Ohio National Guard.
Speaker 2: I feel pretty angry and upset.
Speaker 3: Today Friday, August fifth, two thousand and five, the news
Speaker 3: gets worse. Twenty two marines killed in action from Ohio
Speaker 3: National Guard, two from Saint x one with a seven
Speaker 3: week old son. I received a letter email from father
Speaker 3: Die and others about the loss. Michael Sefuentes and David Cruder.
Speaker 3: God bless them and keep them between all of this
Speaker 3: and the incoming rockets. Yesterday I'm sad, as sad as
Speaker 3: I've been talk to Dad.
Speaker 2: That helps the.
Speaker 3: Michael Sefuente's parents had said they were trying to bring
Speaker 3: a better life to people that have suffered too long,
Speaker 3: and Brian, they did, Yeah, they did.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that the seven week old baby actually
Speaker 1: spoke at the event. Who is now, uh what? He's
Speaker 1: attending Xavier.
Speaker 3: Now, he's a senior at say Next High school and
Speaker 3: he wrote a poem that he read last night entitled
Speaker 3: Fields of Flanders.
Speaker 2: It was a moving event. Oh my God.
Speaker 6: Might imagine a massive allergy outbreak and parents there, but
Speaker 6: it was. But it was a great tribute, and I
Speaker 6: would tell you Governor DeWine was the keynote speaker, and
Speaker 6: he paid a tremendous tribute to each and every one
Speaker 6: of them, including you know more recent from Vietnam they
Speaker 6: killed in action and Steve Grace and Airman all Saint
Speaker 6: x Grad's and he gave a wonderful tribute to all
Speaker 6: of them.
Speaker 2: He's capable of doing some good things. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: very good. I'm glad you're able to be at the event.
Speaker 2: I understand that.
Speaker 1: The wife of that soldier who was killed was there
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, yes she was wife and parents, so
Speaker 1: they're not forgotten.
Speaker 3: That's the thing we don't forget, right, we continue to
Speaker 3: pay tribute. And I was pleased to have my son there,
Speaker 3: which I think was he's eleven. He's eleven, and it
Speaker 3: was very moving, and he even read on one of
Speaker 3: the letters. You know, people write letters saying if you're
Speaker 3: reading this, then I passed away, and it was to
Speaker 3: his parents, and this kid had written I wouldn't change
Speaker 3: a thing in my life. I know you're sad right now,
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't change a thing because I'm here fighting
Speaker 3: for freedom for people that didn't have it.
Speaker 1: Yees, well, that kind of sums up the reason why
Speaker 1: I do anything I can to support American veterans and
Speaker 1: their causes. That's the type of people that we need
Speaker 1: more of. Thanks for letting me share this.
