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