I mean, it should be, it should have a few more.

Also supporting Inside Track is Eb's great company, Wilkinson Wealth Management. I'm a client along with my sister, and he does a great job for our family. And another longtime sponsor, Tucson Iron and Metal Surplus, as well as my family run company, we're a new sponsor, Paul Ash Commercial Real Estate, where we make good things happen every day. We're all over Tucson.
By now, you may have heard that Dr. Fauci has refused to answer any questions by Senator Rand Paul in this morning's hearings.
So stay tuned, we'll be talking about this, breaking news at the end of the show today, perhaps. But now let's get right to our featured guest this morning, Republican candidate for Arizona House in Legislative District 17, John Winchester. We're pleased to welcome a man who I've known. I'm not sure how long you've known, John, but-

**Eb Wilkinson** (4:06)
About two and a half minutes.

**Bruce Ash** (4:07)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:08)
Well, I've known John.

**Bruce Ash** (4:10)
The blended average is pretty good because I've known John, I think for about 12 or 14 years or so.

**SPEAKER_5** (4:14)
Wow.

**Bruce Ash** (4:15)
We're pleased to welcome a man I have known since his days with Christians United for Israel as well as being affiliated with Northwest YMCA and most recently working for Arizona State University in a senior leadership capacity.

**Eb Wilkinson** (4:30)
So John's married to Fernando. Fernando, sorry.
Well, who in addition to being extremely intelligent, is the mother of four kids, pretty good sign to pound her there.

**Bruce Ash** (4:44)
I saw those pictures of Fernando out there. She's got some biceps. She's a gym rat.

**Eb Wilkinson** (4:48)
She's working that thing.

**John Winchester** (4:49)
She's strong, man.

**Eb Wilkinson** (4:51)
Yeah. Oh, and you're telling me before we got going, the health challenges and how she came back from that. And what a blessing that is.
