Live from D.C.! Canadian Election Dr. Drew Special Guest! & More!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Just waiting for this to upload to Instagram.
A useless place where I'm going to go share the video of Dr. Drew and I making the announcement that we're going live now.
We're live, correct?
Oh my goodness, we're live.
Good afternoon, everybody.
Which one's my camera?
That one right there is my camera.
We're in D.C. for day two of Viva Does D.C. Sounds gross.
We were at the White House this morning and I ran into Dr. Drew.
And then we're like, well, we obviously have to take the opportunity.
to go to the Rumble studio and do a live stream.
Now, people tuning in, first of all, my time is 4 o'clock and it's going to be 4 o'clock unless there's extraneous circumstances such as running into Dr. Drew after a White House media row.
And then I say, we'll go live at 3.30 to bump it up a little bit.
And those coming in from the quartering, I think the quartering is going to attend an event right now also, which should be very interesting.
We're going to be done by 5 o'clock and Dr. Drew is going to be going live from the studio.
At 5.30 with Dr. Drew, explain to the world who you are.
For those who don't know you and who's going to be on your show, 5.30.
So I host a show called Ask Dr. Drew.
Now I can figure out which my camera is.
And obviously I'm a physician and I've been doing this kind of stuff for a little bit.
Talking to Peter McCullough today.
We're both on the wellness committee.
Excuse me, the wellness company.
My brain isn't working so well because I had to get up at 4.30 Pacific time.
The Wellness Company Medical Board, and we're going to talk a little bit about spike and spike treatment and spikeopathy.
And I was reading about Dr. Patrick Songshun, who is the owner of the LA Times, who's also a medical researcher and pharmaceutical researcher, who, when I interviewed him, expressed grave concerns about the killing off of the so-called killer T-cells, which are sort of the mop-up system of our immune system.
And he was predicting that COVID was going to be an oncogenic virus, much like HIV.
His theory is that the reason we're seeing the uptick in cancers is our killer T cells are being sort of disabled.
And so this last sort of vestigial system that mops up when everything else fails is also failing.
In other words, as we age, we get more and more errors in our DNA metabolism in terms of replication.
The DNA repair and DNA replication so cells can divide is an extremely complicated process.
Loaded with errors, and we have systems that correct those errors, where those systems start to fail as we get older, then the immune system is there to pick it up, pick up the cells that look like non-cell because they're screwed up genetically.
And then if the immune system misses it, these killer T cells come through and sort of mop everything up.
They're important.
They've been sort of down-regulated by COVID, and I would argue the vaccine as well.
Okay, that was the question.
Let me just see what I look like if I lean back here.
Not used to not hunching over my computer.
Thank you to Rumble, by the way.
It's a beautiful set.
We are Rumble fans.
We are Rumbleites.
Thank you to the Rumble world.
And thank you guys for watching on Rumble.
The ranchers, I bet Susan is over there watching you guys so you can interact with her.
I can't see you, though.
No, I'm used to lurching over my computer.
Now that I get to chill back, I want to make sure that I look okay doing this.
Okay, so explain that a little bit more because I know people, first of all, the uptick in cancers also predates COVID.
I was looking for it because I fell for it.
I didn't fall for it.
There was a study that said, you know, cancer among young people has increased 40%.
It predated COVID by a few years of the study, but it certainly seems to have spiked since COVID even more than what trajectory it was on prior.
There has been something going on.
There have been concerns about it, but there seems to be something more going on, yes.
Okay. And I'm not sure about his Dr. Shun-Shong theory.
I think it's intriguing, and I think something like that is going on, but...
I'm not totally convinced that oncogenicity is going to be the big issue with COVID.
I'm not sure.
Oncogenicity, which is causing cancer.
The impact that interfering with T-cells would have, how does that come from a virus in the first place?
There's this one famous virus that only knocks out T-cells.
And that's AIDS.
Or HIV, I should say.
Right, exactly.
That's what it does.
So his theory is this sort of an HIV-like phenomenon, but it's triggering a different Subset of the T cell population.
I never even thought of that, that HIV attacks the T cells in particular, which makes you vulnerable to all sorts of other infections or diseases.
If you remember, the old name of HIV was human T cell lymphotropic virus, meaning attracted to human T cells.
I couldn't remember that because I don't think I ever knew that.
HTLV3, man!
That was the first name of the virus.
Okay, that's very interesting.
And now, for those who are inclined to think that it might be the other thing...
I don't use the V word because it's not a vaccine.
It's a jab at best.
It's a therapeutic at best.
It might be something worse.
I personally do not like that conversation.
It's a waste of energy.
Not that it's wrong.
It's just that, look, anything that stimulates your immune system against a specific pathogenic Product is a vaccine.
I don't care how you stimulate the immune system against a specific narrow protein.
It's all an inoculation against.
It all activates an army of T cells, or B cells ultimately, against a thing, a protein or a virus.
But an inoculation against would mean it prevents you from getting something specific versus...
Reducing the severity of whatever that specific thing was.
It can mean anything.
It just means your immune system is jacked up in response to when it sees it again.
And I appreciate it.
It's a useless discussion, potentially, definitionally.
Well, the problem is it takes energy away from what we should be talking about.
Is this thing harmful or not?
You know what I mean?
I prefer to stay...
Well, I don't mind saying, so long as we concede, therapeutic, it makes me happy because vaccines had a traditional definition, a traditional understanding.
Yeah, and I'm okay with that.
I'm okay with the fact of that.
I just don't want to spend a lot of energy on it because something that stimulates me in response.
You know, it's...
I think I started thinking about this again because I was listening to this French woman who...
I'm going to take you.
You have bad ADD, and I like getting off course, so this is going to be bad today.
We're going to get all over the place.
I was listening to this French woman who was the head of Russian television in Paris.
What year are we talking?
It's only like about four years ago.
Post-COVID?
Yeah. Well, and probably during.
Look, we have Russian TV in New York, too, in L.A. William Shatner did several Russian TV shows.
He loved Russian TV.
It was run by Americans.
I actually went to the Russian TV studio in New York, and there was a bunch of young dudes running around, a bunch of young tech guys, very excited.
They were getting funded by Russia to develop this network.
But now anyone associated with Russian TV is somehow a communist, a Russian spy, a Putin puppet, fill in the blank.
This woman had migrated from Russia in 2009 or something.
She was fluent in both French and Russian, and she was therefore applied for this job to be director of this Russian television company, not because she was sort of directed to do Putin's bidding or to provide the position of the communist government in Russia or anything.
She was just applying to run a television station.
Well, they came after her and canceled her as a communist, a this, a that, a Putin puppet.
And she wrote a book about it called, oh, I forget the name of it.
It's like one word.
In any event, I started to hurt her talking the other day on a French radio show.
And she goes, you know, she goes, you know, being the object of all this false accusation and stuff, I realized I was paying attention to how out of control and full of shit and how hoax-filled.
The news is in Western outlets and Western culture.
And she said, I'm getting back to the vaccine, okay?
She said this very interesting thing.
She goes, you know, in Russia, the Russian people have been inoculated against fake news by the Soviet system.
She goes, they learned during the...
We are not Soviet Russia anymore.
And the Soviet system...
It was full of shit.
The news was all nonsense, all propaganda.
And they learned, the Russian people, not to believe the news.
So now when they see the news, they're very skeptical.
They're very apt to not believe it.
And they're a better consumer of news than we are.
Think about that.
No, it's fantastic.
It's a great notion, isn't it?
That the Soviets were...
First of all, in my head, Russia is kind of Soviet.
It's not at all.
It's something completely different.
I'm not saying it's good or better.
I'm just saying it is not Soviet Union.
It's something different.
And the way the press operates is a business now.
It's not a government enterprise so much, although I'm sure it's doing the government's stuff.
And I also have something that rings in my head about this same...
I don't know why I think so much about this.
I remember in the 70s, I was watching like a 60 Minutes episode about Pravda, and it stayed with me to this day.
And the, you know, sort of Mike Wallace guy was in there going, how can you do this?
How can you present the news as, you know, this as news?
This is government propaganda.
The government tells you what to say.
And finally, this very sort of established, you know, sort of stately-looking man goes, he goes, hey, he goes, look, in Russia, the news is a political enterprise.
In your country, it's a commercial enterprise.
It will have distortions.
I never imagined the distortions would be as bad as they are now.
It blows my mind on the one hand that the reason why they call RT state-funded is because it's state-funded, and yet they don't apply the same rationale, the same argument to CBC, NPR, and all the other state-funded, which are directly state-funded.
Then you get into advertiser-funded, big pharma-funded, and all of which are going to have their own narratives and their own propaganda.
It's all propaganda, which doesn't mean that everything they tell you is wrong, but you need to know how to...
How to read it, how to listen to it.
I like the idea of being inoculated against propaganda because of your upbringing in Soviet Russia.
And I have found myself at the point where I don't believe anything in the news.
I just saw a tweet.
If you follow me on Twitter, by the way, what's your Twitter handle before we forget?
Dr. Drew.
Dr. Drew.
I saw a tweet on Twitter this morning, and it was apparently, purportedly, a banner, like a digital neon ad in Atlanta, saying, "Tariffs are tax." Something along those lines.
And it said the government of Canada, it had the flag of Canada, and it said the government of Canada is buying advertising in America to raise awareness, propagandize about the tariffs.
I don't believe this.
I don't believe this can be true.
Why the hell is the Canadian government advertising policy in America?
And I said the irony about it, however, would be even if true.
That billboard was paid for by taxpayer dollars that they decided to go protest the tariff because it's a tax from our 50% of every dollar we make.
Anyway, it turns out, by the way, confirmed true.
And I've had members of our community say they've seen them all over the place in America, and they're targeting red states to try to propagandize Americans to the tax nature indirect of a tariff.
And by the way, the equal tariff, they're tariffing us.
And so we're just raising the tariff to meet their tariffs.
Oh, so they've been taxing their people all this time.
Did their people know they've been taxed by tariffs all this time?
Because we've been tariffed constantly by Canada.
We're just going equity now.
We're just going to the same level of tariff.
The argument is that, well, those tariffs, in as much as they exist, were under NAFTA.
I presume those were negotiated under NAFTA, but I don't even think Canadians know this.
Poultry, chicken, meat, two, 300% tariffs.
And now that it's been there for a long time, Now that America comes in and says, why would we be exploited by our neighbors, for which we provide a substantial amount of defense, we're going to impose them.
Those tariffs become taxed and they become bad by the very same political party that taxes you to death and then in death and then beyond death.
And tariffs us.
And tariffs the United States.
So everybody.
So if you're not disgusted, you should be.
You should be.
The governments are out of control everywhere.
This one included.
And the people need to be...
The design of these so-called democratic representative governments were of the people, by the people, for the people.
And we've lost complete sight of that.
It is.
Completely. We were talking about this, and it'll segue into our wonderful day on the Hill.
No, we weren't on the Hill.
Are we on?
We are.
We were at the White House.
Damn it.
Which one's the Hill?
The capital billion that you thought was...
Okay, fine.
Well, I was on the Hill yesterday.
Now we were at the House.
The White House.
We're closer to the Hill now.
We go there and we have to get through security to get in.
And you go through this box, it's like a prison cage, and you get into it, then you show your ID, then they make you wait.
And all I'm thinking is, this entire infrastructure, the buildings, the streets, security, it's massive beyond the point of comprehension.
I don't know what percentage of the employees of the district of D.C. are security, but it's a lot.
And even though I'm very much online or in line on the game of this current administration, But it's massive.
And we go to this media row.
It's employees of the government.
They meet with the president periodically.
The machine is so huge.
Blobishly huge.
Never getting smaller.
And the bigger it gets, the bigger it needs to get to continue to feed that machine.
Well, it's getting smaller now, it seems.
HHS just had 10,000 employees today?
Did they?
I'm not sure what the headline was.
HHS, that is Health and Human Services.
That's Bobby Kennedy.
I'm blocking my mic.
It's an amazing thing also.
And I'm not trying to be insensitive to...
People who are losing their jobs, who are hardworking, good Americans who are working for the government.
It's what happens when a blob gets unsalvageably and unsustainably big.
10,000.
10,000 from HHS.
I talked to Bobby Kennedy today and part of our thing, did you talk to him?
I did not get Bobby Kennedy and I tried to ambush him, but apparently ambush Bobby Kennedy is the wrong word to use when you're at the White House.
So I talked to him and he...
He said, he goes, look.
He goes, I said, how is this?
I ran into him on a plane the other day.
And he said, I go, how is it?
And he goes, well, I feel like Castro entering Cuba, looking at all the crazy infrastructure and what's the word I'm looking for?
Where things are not appropriate.
Things shouldn't be going on.
Corruption. All the corruption.
And he said, it's hard to figure out.
But today, he reiterated that.
He said, but, he goes, I have found that this business, this organization is populated by some very capable, intelligent, well-meaning, hardworking people on behalf of the American people.
He was inspirational in terms of how he talked about certain people.
And he said, but it's too big.
It's too big.
And there are certain positions within the bureaucracy that are just, it's just not productive.
Not adding anything.
I draw the comparison to Ottawa.
For anybody who cared to listen to me, compare Washington to Ottawa, the capital of Canada, where real estate is inflatedly high because the vast majority of the people who work for the government, their salaries are inflatedly high.
Their benefits are inflatedly high.
That's what happened here.
Now that they're pulling the plug and all this stuff, real estate is collapsing.
This is a discussion I had with a very close person recently.
People live in these areas where the real estate is propped up because people work for the government.
And then you understand, we were talking about this over lunch.
You're walking around.
How the hell is 97% of D.C. Democrat?
It doesn't make sense because even if this were the belly of the beast of the enemy, you'd still think you'd have more Republicans or opposition force who would want to be there to change things or to have their voices heard.
97% Democrat.
How does it happen?
I mean, you realize people become addicted to the system.
Well, follow the money, too.
If you are dependent on a flow of money, large sums of money, from a party that likes to spend money and grow government, you're probably going to grow government.
You're probably going to be on that team, wouldn't you think?
I would think you'd be on that team.
I think that's what we're seeing.
And unfortunately, for the rest of us that are paying those positions, it doesn't look so good.
It just doesn't.
Here's what's happening to me right now.
I'm not inside this business.
I don't know anything about government.
I'm a moderate.
I don't know.
But I certainly look at the things that are being uncovered, particularly as it pertains to these non-government organizations, the NGO, and it looks corrupt as hell.
It looks terrible.
It's taxpayer money laundering.
It looks terrible.
And I think about all the people I know who are just hardworking Americans that are just trying to get by, that they are funding this Blob, as you said, it's disgusting.
Well, you imagine going back to Canada where they're running advertisements to oppose effectively the Trump administration or even the conservatives because it's in the context of now the election in Canada.
The liberals are presumably using taxpayer dollars to message an anti-conservative message in America of all places during an election.
When are you going to get your citizenship squared?
When are you going to do this?
Are we going to naturalize you or what?
I've been told that there's been some delays in the process because of the...
I introduced you to Tulsi Gabbard today.
That was your chance, my friend.
And what did I say as we were walking down the hall with her?
What did I say?
Ask her if she can...
No, I said, we've got to give this guy citizenship.
That's what I said.
In poker, they say you don't use your one time until you really, really need it.
You did say something like that.
I said, I'm going to save my one time until I really need the one time.
Because things are going to hell in a handbasket in Canada.
We'll see what happens in the election.
But I'm not even optimistic that even if the Conservatives take a majority, Canada's got...
We need your help down here.
I think, you know, it's not a retreat.
It is a strategic repositioning.
And I think even as far as the fight for freedom in Canada goes, it's a strategic repositioning to do it from Florida, where my tweets will not get me locked up in prison.
Drew, so we go to the White House today.
Yeah. Get through security, all that other stuff.
I got to see Bobby Kennedy, or RFK Jr.
I did not get to ask him a question.
You got a picture with him, did you?
I got a picture, but I had my one question, which was, are you familiar with the Brooke Jackson Key Tam case?
And if you are, when is Trump going to reinstate it?
That being said, I did get that question off to, I'm going to forget which of the three people I interviewed.
I got the question off, so it's out there, people, and fingers crossed.
What is that all about?
So, Brooke Jackson filed a whistleblower, filed a Ketam fraud lawsuit against Pfizer, alleging that Pfizer fraudulently manipulated data.
Basically, Pfizer committed fraud on the American people because they did not deliver that which they were contractually bound to deliver, which was a safe and effective vaccine that prevented transmission, etc., etc.
She was a whistleblower who was working with Pfizer, saw the degree to which the trials were...
I think I interviewed Brooke.
I interviewed Brooke.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Chat, let me know.
I'll check my phone.
And so she filed this Ketam fraud lawsuit.
The government under Biden doesn't intervene, lets her run with the lawsuit with Robert Barnes as counsel for, I think, close to two years.
Then they decide they're going to tardily intervene to kill the lawsuit, to say, no, we've taken it over.
This is Biden's, I don't want to say DOJ, but this was Biden's administration.
They intervened.
It wasn't the DOJ?
No, I forget if it's the DOJ or the, it's probably the DOJ or AG.
They intervene, and then they kill the lawsuit.
They say, we're not pursuing it anymore, because why would they want to pursue a fraud that they might have been party to with Pfizer?
And so I just, I mean, Pam Bondi's probably the woman to ask, but RFK would have been a close second.
I got the third best person to ask, and the question is, when is the Trump administration going to say, all right, we will intervene?
Alina was in there, too.
Did you ask her?
Mother Cabri.
I'll be able to DM her.
Alina, sorry.
With Alina, I got lost.
I interviewed Alina Haba.
We got lost on the New York corruption, Angeron-Mershon, the lawfare.
And I only had 10 minutes with her because they were winding it up.
Who did you get to interview today?
I interviewed RK.
Carolyn Levitt, who is Joy.
I mean, just so interesting as a person.
I was more interested in her than what she was talking about.
Because I'm like, this woman grew up in New Hampshire.
She's 27 or 28 years old.
How does this happen?
This is crazy.
Went to a Catholic school.
She had an eight-month-old at home.
What is this?
She's got an eight-month-old.
Yes. How does she do this?
So a lot of my time was spent.
And she's very, I mean, she is Team Trump.
Boy, she just comes out with policy.
Policy spills out of her mouth.
And I don't know if you saw her jab at the French the other day.
Oh, I did.
Well, I mean, it's not a jab.
It's history.
It was hysterical.
Have you seen the movie Killing Zoe?
No. Eric Stoltz, back in the day, there was the one line where, I've mentioned it before, where they're robbing a bank and one of the robbers is French.
It's the stereotypical American.
And he's like, you guys should thank me.
If it weren't for us, you'd always be speaking German.
And then the French bank robber kills him.
Spoiler alert.
He was not a main character.
But she made the comment that they might want to get with history and understand that it was as a result of our involvement in World War II that you're not speaking German.
Because they had already, the Vichy government had already, was it the Vichy government before or during Nazi occupation?
You know, I cannot.
I'm a terminology.
Must have been during.
But bottom line.
They capitulate.
They capitulate faster than you could say.
There's a double joke there.
You're a man of history as well.
Yeah. How historically accurate was what Caroline Levitt said?
Oh, it was beautifully.
I told her I said this.
I'm somewhat of a Francophile, but I just thought it was perfectly placed.
It was just well placed.
And she said it without any acrimony, just like, just worthy of your recollection that had we not intervened, maybe you ought to show us a little deference.
Now, to the French, let me come to your defense and say, had the French not blockaded Yorktown and Lafayette not been part of George Washington's team, there would have been no Revolutionary Army or no victory.
Before we get back to the Revolutionary War, I mean, the only historically...
A relatively accurate retort would have been, well, they might not have been speaking German.
They might be speaking Russian today because one way or the other, France was either going to go to Russia or Germany if Russia won.
Well, to that point, the French are now convinced that they're going to be speaking Russian again.
So, Macron, do you see him the other day?
Oh, my God.
He gets up and goes, we must fight.
We must get it.
We're going to raise an army.
We're going to move.
We're going to fight for Ukraine.
And everybody looked at him and went, dude.
If the entire EU and Britain got involved, that would be 40,000 soldiers total, and we have no transport system.
No planes, no way to transport them.
What are you talking about?
What use would that be?
And then now they're like, oh shit, we need to rearm.
So now you see a lot of rearmament talk.
However, the only caveat to that is, last time Germany armed up, it didn't go so well.
Just saying.
And they're part of the rearmament conversations.
Apparently, you might not have interviewed Brooke Jackson yet.
I think I did.
Well, this sounds like it's an answer coming from Grok.
I'll leave it to Susan, Drew's producer and wife, to let us know.
But if it hasn't happened, it'll happen.
But we'll see if it's happened.
The idea of Europe thinking, not understanding history, but also not understanding the present that they are not dependent on, but...
Dependent on American military involvement, the haughtiness and the arrogance to say, we will band together and we'll go, what, have another war in Europe, a World War III in Europe against Russia, a country that, whether or not they lost in their involvement in Afghanistan, they might have achieved the goals that they wanted, but they've never lost a war.
Let me rephrase that.
They've won every war, big war, through attrition because they can and they will.
So what is the plan?
To go into the Ukraine and defend it?
I don't know.
It's the weirdest thing.
What are you talking about, people?
I don't get it.
And they think that Russia, after it's taken three years to battle itty-bitty Ukraine, is now going to go conquer the rest of Europe and the world.
Exactly. It makes no sense for those floating the Hitler line.
It's worthy of restatement.
Russia, as much as a military power that they are, and they do have nuclear weapons, which they will not use, Despite all the provocation on Earth from the West.
That's right.
Now, maybe they'll invent some space thing that becomes a problem, but right now they will not use those weapons.
They could not take Ukraine.
How are they going to go all the way to France?
And why would they do it?
Would they want to occupy France?
What does France have that they want?
They need the Louvre?
They must have the Mona Lisa?
It's like a Woody Allen movie.
I can steal men if the argument is going to be the only reason it took them three years where they could have otherwise walked in and walked over Ukraine is because of Western involvement.
That would be the steel men.
I still think it's factually incorrect.
But that Begs the issue that same Western force will defend the rest of Europe.
Touche. Same force.
And what does...
In fact, more vigorously, frankly, if you got anywhere near Poland, there'd be a total freakout.
That sounds like a jet.
It does sound like jets.
We're scrambling here.
It does sound kind of awful.
I've been nervous about it.
They said we're behind enemy lines and this is a target-heavy area.
Does that happen all the time?
Never. Thank you.
Now I feel much more secure.
Just so you know, everybody, it's not gas.
That was an actual jet.
A lot of you, they may not be able to hear it, but we just had some serious jets flying over.
That was like a low-flying jet.
No, yeah, even by the arguments where some people say, well, they're imperialistic and Russia wants to regain its historical territory.
That, well, they just did.
The Dombrowski and Crimea, that was Peter the Great's thing.
They got it.
Read your history, everybody.
It's not, again, it's not a rapacious Soviet system that wants to bring the world into its communist utopia.
Does anybody in Russia talk that way?
I don't know from experience, but I don't think so.
They want to be left alone within the borders of their ancestral past.
And that's what they want.
Or am I wrong?
Am I wrong?
I don't live in Russia, but I talk to Russian people and that's the way they talk.
Even from those who have said we're in trouble.
Susan freaked out.
Yes, those were scrambled jets.
We couldn't see anything, but we heard it.
She kept running in here, freaked her out, too.
Even from the people who I hear make that argument, yeah, it's not global domination, and it wouldn't be feasible for global domination.
It's not.
It's nonsense talk.
So, because it's such nonsense, I think to myself, well, why are they doing this?
Why do they want that?
What's wrong with Macron?
Macron's in trouble.
And so maybe he needs to really just rally people behind him to try to get his political stuff done.
They've learned from Ukraine, if they declare war and martial law, they can suspend elections forever.
No, what I was going to add, sorry, about...
About, you know, retaking Ukraine.
Now there's weird things going on with the traffic out there, I gotta tell you.
Oh, the traffic has been a mess here.
No, but it's like gridlock.
Took us 18, what did it take us, 18 or 20 minutes to go 2.6 miles to get here.
Yeah, but no, no, weird traffic stuff, like something, I don't know.
Anyway, if we go off the air, do worry.
No, don't worry.
If we hear an Amber Alert, let me see if my phones are off.
No, the idea, the strongest argument for, yeah, they want to take a portion of Ukraine.
We've now seen what happens in Romania and in...
Finland is the latest addition to NATO that is now being used as a stockpiling weapon location on the border of Russia.
So what if Russia suddenly did that in Cuba?
We wouldn't be upset about it?
We have a historical antecedent on that one.
We would freak out.
I'm looking at the news again.
It's going on in Washington, D.C. You guys are freaking me out a little bit.
There were four jets?
Okay, so the news, you've seen it live, people.
What were the jets doing?
That's boring.
Opening day of...
Oh, there's a baseball game on today.
Okay. This happened in Montreal once where there was a football game, a soccer game, and the Jets flew over my house.
And I had never heard one before.
And I was like, we're under attack.
This can really cause some trauma for people who have survived war-torn countries to see Jets blare over their...
But that was me being a sensitive snowflake Canadian.
I am...
Anyway, we're all out of place.
Let's go back to our morning at the White House.
So I have RFK Jr.
I have Carolyn Levitt.
Again, but she, man, she just, I wanted to use a word that is accurate but not pejorative.
I'm tempted to use the word parroting because not the sense that she doesn't know what she's talking about, but she spills.
Tons of policy when she speaks.
They have their messaging points down.
But it's not narrative.
It's here's what we're going to do.
This is what this policy is with that policy.
Here's what the plan is.
This is why we're doing that.
Hopefully people...
Let me explain my scenario.
I wasn't expecting what we saw there.
And this is going to be in my vlog, which is going to be like an hour.
I wasn't expecting...
That of a media role.
Like, I thought we were going to be outside.
It was going to be casual.
Oh, no, no, no.
So I have my...
So let's talk about what happened.
So we go through the Gestapo, the police...
The Secret Service, literally.
By the way, the Secret Service were in very good spirits today as compared to my previous interactions.
Oh, really?
Okay. Oh, my goodness.
Usually steely-eyed, no response, nothing.
They were smiling, joking a little bit.
We go from the front of the White House, from Lafayette Square to the front of the White House.
Again, Lafayette, the French, right next to the White House.
That's how important Lafayette was.
Hold on.
We've got to pause it here, Drew, because we didn't actually come back to what I said we're going to come back to.
The Revolutionary War, people do not appreciate that the French actually came to the assistance of the patriots.
Won the war for us.
We were in trouble.
Arguably, but not arguably, I feel like I'm trying to arguably, but not arguably, helped them win the war against the Brits.
Explain that because there's a history to why the French were financing and supporting the revolutionaries in America to fight against the British.
Well, a couple reasons.
I mean, I don't know the details of it.
There's probably a lot of crazy detail.
But we had just fought what we called the French and Indian War.
Do you know this?
We called it that?
What do you call it in Canada?
The Six Years' War, Eight Years' War or something.
The French-Indian War?
We called it the French and Indian War, yeah.
Which was the British fighting the French back up into Canada and the French...
Use the Native Americans to fight with them.
So the French ally was the Native American.
That's very interesting.
You don't know this?
Yes, of course I know this.
It was coming out of Canada.
And by the way, I took the history of Canada, Quebec and Canada, twice because the first time I didn't do well enough in it.
I did it during the summer and I got a 90-some one.
Okay, well good.
They didn't teach you about this.
35 years ago.
Sorry, so refresh my memory, Drew.
So it's called the French Indian War, but everywhere else it's called the Ten Years War, the Eight Years War.
Oh, that's why I didn't know what you were talking about.
The Ten Years War, yes.
That's when the Indians joined with the French to fight the British.
So, because French and British were the two great powers in the world, they were terrible, terrible enemies.
And, of course, French ended up with all Louisiana and all the southern part.
They had that still, even after the end of the war, the so-called French-Indian War.
George Washington became a soldier because of that war.
That's where he was a soldier and then a I don't know what a sergeant or a lieutenant or what his positions were as he moved up, but he lost a lot of battles in that war.
He had some terrible, terrible defeats.
In any event, that allowed the British to really establish the colonies.
And a lot of the colonialists fought with the British.
They were British citizens, most of them.
I mean, down in the South, they kind of saw themselves a little differently.
But in the Mid-Atlantic and North, they were British.
And that's why...
There were royalists here in this country that were eventually cast back to Britain because they would have been hung when the war ended.
Anyway, they were committing treason when they established their independence, right?
Yes. This much I appreciate for sure.
Benjamin Franklin articulated it most poetically.
Do you know his phrase?
They signed their name to the Declaration of Independence and the last signature, so the story goes, Ben Franklin said, gentlemen, we must hang together because if we don't, we shall surely hang apart.
Meaning be hung apart.
Which they would have been.
They were treason.
They were going against the king.
Anyway, what are we talking about?
Oh, the French.
So the French were pissed that they lost that war.
At least the colonial part of it.
I don't know what the actual outcome was.
What was the treaty?
Treaty of...
Westphalia or something?
Something like that.
So the treaty, whatever, and they were pissed.
They lost a lot of territory.
And the British got the colonies fair and square.
And the French were pushed up above whatever the parallel is there above the Great Lakes.
And when it came time that this country wanted to fight for its independence, the French were like, yeah, fuck those British.
We'll go get them.
It's so flipping amazing because then you understand exactly why Canada is the way it is today.
Not just French and English.
Culturally and politically, compared to what America is.
And so then the French helped the Patriots defeat the Brits, and that is Lafayette.
Lafayette was a Democrat, and that was a weird, radical position back then.
And if you watch the HBO series or something about Ben Franklin, it's just called Franklin, I think.
It really gets into Lafayette's history.
And he was a young radical who just went to fight for the freedom fighters.
Freedom was a big cause at the time.
And he came here, and because he was from big money, he was able to find his way into the inner circle here to see what he had to offer.
He brought weapons and things like that with him.
And I want to fight alongside of you.
Did establish himself.
And we had a ragtag company.
It wasn't until him and then the German.
There was a gay German, I forget his name, that really, really trained.
It's so amazing to think about, because when I drove back down here from Montreal this summer, I ended up watching The Patriot with my kid, and whether or not it's Hollywoodized and not totally historically accurate, you appreciate that these were everyday, not yet Americans, but not misfits, but the people who were rebelling against the Brits had no military training and just wanted freedom.
They wanted taxation with representation.
The one that did have military training had fought in the French and Indian War.
That's where they fought.
Like George Washington.
I love history.
You have to get old enough to appreciate history.
Wilhelm von Steuben.
Von Steuben was the German that got the army together here.
Okay, that's very...
Now you know a little bit of history, people.
The more you know, run the rainbow.
And also on that subject, because I was mentioning that we're in an area that kind of looks very much like Montreal.
You were talking about the architecture, who designed the layout of the city.
L'Enfant, right?
L'Enfant.
Wasn't it?
That's what I think you said.
Hey Siri, who designed Washington, D.C.?
Because it very much is reminiscent of European architecture.
Pierre-Charles L'Enfant.
Pierre-Charles L'Enfant, which means the child in French.
The buildings are not above a certain height.
That, I think, is a new thing.
There's another story that may or may not be apocryphal.
I don't know why I know all this grammar shit.
I love how I'm absorbing it.
JFK was apparently sitting at his inaugural parade.
It was, I think, along Constitution.
And this city was built on a swamp.
Most of it looked like what you're seeing here out this window, which over the years got pretty run down.
It was almost like row houses.
And he was sitting and watching his parade.
He goes, this is the capital.
This city is a shithole.
We've got to develop it.
And he really led to it.
You notice all the buildings are very modern.
Because it all started in the 60s.
And the conceit was everything would be, I think, seven stories or something and nothing higher, much like the Haussmann building.
So this is another piece of history.
I'm embarrassed that I know this stuff.
So Napoleon III.
People go, when I've been to Paris, people always go, Napoleon did this.
Napoleon did this.
Napoleon did not do this.
Napoleon III, who was an ignominious, but he was cast out in trouble.
But he and a famous architect named Haussmann designed the Paris you know.
They went in and they did urban planning of the entire city.
And the original design was, well, you're going to have the businesses on the bottom floor, the wealthy families above that, those are the bigger units, then the middle class above that, and then the servants on the top.
You know, all those with the clear stories and the beautiful, those are where the servants used to live.
I used to live in Paris in 1999.
On Boulevard Saint-Michel, it was in the fifth hour.
The writer's district, right?
It was the writer's district.
It was right next to La Sorbonne.
It was the protest district every Saturday.
But now that you mention it, and you look at it here, because as we were looking out the window, there's businesses on the bottom and residential units above.
But the idea, it was social engineering.
The idea was everybody would live together.
All the classes together, even though they still separated the classes by floors and the kind of layouts of the floors and things.
The idea was everyone lived together and learned to love each other.
That was a good idea, right?
I love, you know, and France is still, you know, that's the one thing they have.
They have Paris, and they have buildings, and they have art.
They have a good language.
An interesting idea that the peasants, or the lower class, would live on the upper floors, and now those have become the penthouses that...
But to be fair, no elevators, right?
Those big staircases and stuff in those buildings, you have to climb seven floors, and that was a pain in the ass.
Yeah, that's true.
So that explains the architecture of here.
So all that to say, come back to, we go through Lafayette Square, go through the security, and then I see people hauling in boxes of gear.
And it's production company level stuff.
It bothered us too, just so you know.
Well, you had a mic for your iPhone.
My mic, I'm an idiot.
I couldn't get it to sync.
My wife gave me the...
And it all worked out.
But yeah, I'm looking at this and it's not gear envy, people.
It's just...
Am I even going to be able to get...
Am I prepared for this?
That's what we sort of looked at, too.
But I will tell you something.
I had this conversation with Carolyn Levitt.
I said, Carolyn, I go, look, first of all, thank you for doing this because she was sort of one of the engines behind us.
She goes, we love new media.
That's the future.
We started talking about ratings and how the traditional media ratings are so low and how many people can be reached.
And I said, look, you know, everyone wants to be...
Where's the next Joe?
You know, why can't we have a Joe Rogan, right?
Is it going to be Gavin Newsom?
He's our next Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan is a smart guy, an inquisitive guy, a curious guy, and he just talks to people.
That's Joe Rogan.
And that's what we were doing today.
We could have talked longer, I would argue, to everybody, but we were just having conversations with these people in government.
And I tried to conduct them accordingly.
And my point is, back to your observation about all the equipment, the people that get to do this kind of media, the leaner you do it, the better.
Because you can then have a little business that can support itself so you can do this stuff and reach potentially millions of people.
And what's in my hand here used to require an entire television studio to do.
This is a movie studio in my hand.
So unfortunately, for all the jobs and all the infrastructure that would have been built, it's all crammed into this phone.
But in order to then do these things where people are free, just sit and do an interview and talk long form.
You've got to be lean.
So I would argue that we had it right.
We had Susan and me, my wife, our iPhone, and some fancy little lobbies that clicked into it.
That's it.
That was the totality of what we brought.
There's a line between...
Only having an iPhone, Viva, get your stuff together, and having an entire crew.
And really, you need good audio.
You need a decent LED floodlight.
And to be fair to our viewers, our audio was not great.
I have to see what mine is.
I recorded on my camera and on the...
And that's a work in progress.
I would argue those are the technical issues that we must solve as we develop this.
Entity of citizen journalists.
And it's not even journalists.
What are we?
Access to information is what we are.
We are the receptacles to the access of information.
I had some good questions I asked.
They're not adversarial questions, but I did get my question out to, let me just make sure I'm going to remember, to Harrison Fields, about Trump's position on Operation Warp Speed and the jab.
The answer was satisfactory.
What do you say?
I can't spoil it.
But what he said, well, I also infused it with my own strategy, which was people are still pissed off about that jibby jab.
And Harrison's answer was it was never supposed to be a mandate and it was supposed to cut red tape without bypassing security issues.
I'm summarizing and you'll get the whole thing.
So we go into a room.
It's called the library room.
Wait, wait, wait.
Compress that again into a thought.
What is it?
It was never intended to be a mandate.
It was intended to...
Target to help cut red tape.
No, no, listen.
So listen.
So that is a really viable way of approaching it, which is because the thing that has troubled me more than anything are the mandates.
The mandates.
And even the appearance of mandate of medical care or medical intervention or anything you do with your body.
Disgusting. Disgusting.
And so I'm going to think back to that time.
When Warp Speed happened, I was so excited.
I thought, oh, because the FDA encumbers everything.
It takes so long to get through shit.
This will be awesome.
We'll get through this.
We'll get a vaccine.
We'll get going.
And I'm a vaccine enthusiast my whole career.
I've had to temper that a little bit with what has happened recently.
Drew calls it a vaccine enthusiast, and the critics out there are going to call it a vaccine.
Fill in with an expletive word.
But Drew's it.
First of all, the funny thing is, despite all your historical knowledge, you're a doctor, and you had faith.
I don't say you don't have it anymore.
I'm sure you're more skeptical.
People, for a long period of time, saw vaccines as the be-all and end-all of modern science.
I'm not sure I'd do it.
Just that it was a major step forward in the history of medicine.
And that I was a huge advocate for the HPV vaccine.
I thought it was ridiculous.
People were getting cervical cancer and we could take this vaccine.
And the safety profile was, I would still argue, is excellent, but it's not perfect.
And we're focused on, you know, what is the risk reward now for a vaccine?
And I don't trust that I've got the right information.
That's what's horrible.
I can't trust that the publications are giving me the full story right now, which is just mind-blowing to me.
Okay. But okay.
So... But now, because of the tragedy of COVID and the COVID vaccine and the excesses of requiring people to do something, I can't even believe that.
The people that don't need it require it.
It was just such a bizarre period of history.
It made me look at the entire schedule of vaccines, and now I'm like, well, wait a minute.
This hepatitis B thing, why are we doing that?
Have you thought about that?
Did I mention my Uber driver yesterday to you yet?
No. Without giving anything remotely identifiable, I like to speak with the Uber drivers or taxi drivers.
Stop calling them Uber drivers then.
The Uber drivers.
Uber. Uber.
I don't want to mention any...
It's an umlaut over the U. It's an Uber.
Uber. He was from a country where typically they would not be as gung-ho about vaccines.
And we were having a very long discussion.
It was quite amazing.
And we started talking about the Hep B or Hep A, whichever one the STD is.
And the idea, you give it to a baby.
Why would they give this to a baby?
The argument is that the mother might be carrying Hep B or Hep A. In this country, you wouldn't know it?
No fucking way.
Can I say that here?
Yeah, for sure.
Don't worry about that.
If that woman has the remotest risk.
For hepatitis B, we will test for hepatitis B. Hepatitis B, it's sexually transmitted or drug-related, correct?
Drugs. Okay.
That's almost without exception in this country.
What are the symptoms?
There can be no symptoms.
Okay. Okay.
And you can go to chronicity, and usually we're talking about chronic hepatitis B typically, which happens.
I was around the vaccine development of hepatitis B. We were worried.
I was actually doing research on hepatitis C. Chronic hep C, but I was in the office where the hepatitis B stuff was getting executed, and the concern was maternal-fetal transmission in China, where there was a lot of maternal-fetal transmission, which we got that.
We were not worried about this country.
We were worried about healthcare workers, so I dutifully took the vaccine as soon as it came out.
The hep A and hep B. What's the difference between hep A?
Hep A is the one transmitted through contaminated water and stuff.
It's fecal contamination.
We don't get through one episode without talking about poop, people.
Even in a scientific context.
I was instructed to do so.
But here's the deal.
So hep B is this, you know, they're probably, I think if I read 600 mothers a year in this country that have hep B, 600.
So we have to vaccinate every baby in the country?
That makes no sense.
Why would the reflex be to vaccinate newborn babies with something into their system as opposed to testing the mother?
And if she tests positive, then you get the vaccine.
And by the way, it's the easiest test in the world.
It's this fast blood test.
And by the way, if you are taking an obstetrical history at a parent and you see tracks or you say, do you have a history of drug use?
You test them.
If there's any of the remote possibility, it doesn't happen ever.
Let's put it this way.
It doesn't ever happen in this country that someone is a hepatitis B carrier pregnant and no one knows it.
I would say zero.
And therefore, every baby in the country has to get the vaccine.
Do you know who mandated it?
Let me think.
You know where this recommendation came from?
You're going to love it.
I'm not going to get it.
World Health Organization.
And I brought this up to Bobby Kennedy today.
I go, why are we doing the...
Recommendations of an organization that is, let's just call it...
Corrupt? Untrustworthy.
Irrelevant. And he did a little few minutes on it.
He goes, yes.
He goes, they're no longer...
So I thought in that, I thought, oh, he's going to comment on this soon.
I think he's going to say something about it.
People need to appreciate this because this was exactly the discussion that I had with Uber drivers.
They do it because they're immune, because every baby they inject is another dollar in their pocket.
Whose pocket?
Well, I say the pharma industry at large, which always, it trickles up.
And so, yeah, I'm not going to say CEOs like the, you know, to demonize CEOs.
Hey, Siri, how much does a hepatitis B vaccine cost?
And whatever it costs, the more you give, the more it costs.
$25 to $100, essentially.
Per person, that's a shh.
Just doing some math, what's 25 to 100 times?
Every single person in America.
So, and I don't know when it got mandated.
It doesn't make any sense.
I was never an anti-vax individual.
I was never even, never even thought about questioning it until I discovered through COVID how much damage a bad jab can actually cause.
But we have this discussion and it's become an industry and the immunizing and adding it to the children's schedules has become just ka-ching money in the bank for the pharma industry.
It's a little just-so argument, though.
The money part, I don't disagree.
Follow the money.
It's informative.
But if it were a, you know, farmers working on drugs that are $100,000 a year, that gets them excited.
$25 a vaccine, even though it's a lot.
Someone told me, I don't know where the expression comes from, sell to the rich, live with the poor, sell to the poor, live with the rich.
I mean, this is like, all right, it's small amounts to everybody.
And it's not just that one.
It's now just keep adding them to the list.
Our anecdote was when we fled Commie Canada to come down here, we actually, the public school system, required some vaccines that apparently we weren't up to speed on.
But at the very least, their history and their profile was more documented than the COVID one.
But I've got no faith in anything anymore, and it's a post-truth world.
You don't know what to believe, and you just...
Rely on people who you can trust until such time as they burn you with coming out as potential interested parties or liars.
So you got RFK Jr.
We're in this room.
It's called the library of the Dwight Eisenhower building.
So people that don't know, the White House is the thing you see on TV all the time.
But if you're facing the entrance to the right is this huge executive offices, which used to be the war department.
And it's a French building.
Again, it's all designed by the French.
And it's completely out of, it was at the time, it was very controversial when it was built because completely architecturally out of line with the rest of sort of the, the revolution.
You know, if you ever think about New England houses and things like that, there's a certain design that was going on at that period of history.
And this building was not in line with that design at all.
It's beautiful.
It's magnificent.
And you go in, it's these long hallways.
You've seen it on Veep if you watch that show.
They're perfectly recreated there.
And we are led up to the fourth floor and we go into the Indian Treaty Room.
You know that's what it was called?
I did.
First of all, I saw that that's what it was called.
I had a lot of politically incorrect jokes.
I was like, oh, so here this is where deals are broken.
Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom.
Well, it's funny.
So there's a placard on the wall I read outside.
It says, first of all, they say no work or something with India was ever committed.
We think Indian, we think indigenous people.
And they go on to say, no, is there any treaties with the indigenous people?
There was some negotiation of something in there.
Ultimately, it was the Navy Department.
It used to be the War Department, the whole building.
It wasn't just the executive building.
And the Navy Department had it, and then it became essentially what's called a library.
If you see the big war library, I took a picture on the other side.
It actually was a storage room.
It wasn't really a library.
It was a beautiful room.
It was magnificent.
The acoustics were quite reverberating.
Terrible. That's where a good mic would come in.
And again, apologies to my viewers.
I'm going to air some stuff this afternoon.
But what was interesting is that Truman and Eisenhower used it as their main press briefing room.
That was where the press...
All those pictures of Eisenhower you see was in that room.
Okay, that's fantastic.
What I'm doing right now is I'm just going to go to locals and make sure that we're live there and see if there's any specific questions for you.
Are there?
Not yet, but...
Drew, so what I mean, well, we're trying to follow what's happening in the news.
The news of the day today is HHS cutting 10,000 jobs.
There was some, well, a submarine crash, which we're not going to get into today.
No, that was not a, but that was a tourist type of submarine.
Oh. It was just a tourist thing.
Oh, you thought it was a military thing.
I thought it was a military submarine.
No, it was a tourist.
Who the hell goes on a tourist submarine for tourism?
People do that.
An actual submarine?
Hawaii's got that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the thing.
That's like casket tourism.
Like, hey, take a trip in a casket and see what it feels like for...
And then what else happened today?
We were talking about something over lunch.
So I also interviewed Linda McMahon.
Yes. Linda or Lydia?
No, I think it's Linda McMahon.
That's Ed McMahon's wife.
Education. Yes.
Ed McMahon's wife?
Not Ed McMahon.
I keep saying Ed McMahon.
The wrestler McMahon.
Oh, is that true?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She was into the WWE.
I heard she was doing WWE.
I didn't put the whole thing together.
It was real.
I thought it was a joke.
She is a substantial person.
She is smart and bright and very much of an executive.
She reminds me of somebody with a real executive.
I asked her why they chose you to end your job, to dismantle it.
She goes, they wanted somebody with a business background.
An ability to make executive decisions that are tough.
And she said, essentially, that it's going to go.
And that she's working hard to get the Congress to approve it.
That it's going to go away.
To eliminate the Department of Education.
And to take...
And she's going around, she's doing a hell of a job.
She's going around, she's looking at all the services that are still necessary for disabled students and things like that, that need funding and need resources.
And she is going to be sure that the policies and procedures to protect certain students are handed down to the states and funded at the state level.
And Department of Education, whatever's left over, will go to what it used to be, HHS.
Which really is the health issue of students that is at issue.
How many people are, did you ask her how many people are going to lose their government jobs?
I did not ask.
But I mean, look at HHS, just 10,000 just are, you know.
It's an amazing thing.
And as much as you feel bad...
I always wonder why this government just didn't have an arbitrary...
The way almost like Musk did Twitter, why you couldn't just come in and go, all right, I'm sorry, we can't afford this.
Look at your company, look at your organization, cut 20%.
That's it.
I mean, they're effectively doing it.
I think they're doing more.
They're doing more than that.
And I think it's good because, first of all, it won't get done the way they want it.
And secondly, it will swell right back up again if they're not careful.
Drew, you've got some good interviews.
You're going to put this together and air some clips tonight and publish the rest later?
Yes. We'll be on in an hour on Rumble.
Ask Dr. Drew.
Check that out.
And I'll play some of the clips of some of these interviews.
Who is the fourth person I spoke to?
Wait a minute.
I spoke to the Treasury Secretary.
Did you talk to him?
No. He is an amazing dude.
I got the three I got.
Jack Posabic was there too and we tried to do a live stream from him.
I think our sound was screwed up.
I was sitting next to Jack.
Jack is a...
Forget the gear.
He's a consummate professional in what he does.
He's got it to his science.
He gets in there.
He records segments in advance afterwards knowing that he's going to broadcast them.
It's an amazing thing to watch him work.
He really does make you and I look like amateurs.
It makes me feel like an amateur anyway.
And it's great.
He's got it down to his science.
But there really are so many levels to what he's doing.
He had a guy that had some sort of pack that would live...
Sort of beam everything he was doing right to the home office so they could edit it, put it out immediately.
It's like, oh, come on.
It's amazing.
We don't have that.
Harrison Fields, Kalen Doerr, who was Trump's.
Seemed like an interesting dude.
Fantastic. And Alina Haba, which was...
I wanted to go just shake her hand and see how much I appreciate what she's doing.
It is amazing when you see the people who have been behind the lawfare, the demonization.
Alina Haba, when I met Marjorie Taylor Greene for the first time.
Not just a normal, regular person.
A decent, good person at that.
Ran into Tulsi Gabbard in the hallway.
And first of all, I look at her and I may be projecting.
She's carrying literally the weight of the world on her shoulder.
The weight of the world on her shoulder.
And she's got to deal with this smear machine that is trying to discredit her, trying to force her out of office because of this stupid ass signal gate, which I also talked to about.
And their messaging on signal gate is, okay, look.
It was a mistake no bigger than that, if only because nothing worse happened.
And now we're moving on because we're not going to let ourselves get bogged down in a defensive position over nonsense.
We're going to keep going ahead, plowing ahead, and screw yourselves.
And I love it.
They didn't say it quite so not eloquently.
They said it much more eloquently.
But it's like they've got a mission in view and they're going full throttle ahead.
It's fantastic to see.
Did you hear what I said to her?
Yep. She's living, breathing grace.
She's walking grace.
She just walked.
She's still smiling.
She seemed comfortable.
She graciously hugged all of us.
You saw the guy standing?
I think it's her security.
Oh, for sure.
I want to know what was in that packet.
Someone made a joke.
I think it was you, Drew.
They said the codes are in that bag.
I think the Uzi is in the packet.
I looked at the bag after.
I was like, oh, the bag is a very thick, I don't know if it was Kevlar, but cloth.
It had a zipper with a lock on it.
I'm like, well, now I'm kind of curious to know what's in it.
The guy looks like, Someone you'd see in a UFC fight.
And he wasn't looking at me, but I knew that he was looking at me because he didn't know who I was.
I'm sitting there awkwardly.
I was surprised he let her hug me.
I was surprised.
When you realize making contact with people is a potential problem.
But I was looking at Tulsi.
He didn't know who I was.
And he was looking at me like this.
And like, I'm looking at the camera right now, but the camera doesn't know it.
Yeah, yeah.
And so he was sketching me out.
It was, no, it was fantastic.
And I just told her, thank you.
I've known her for a while.
I'm just so grateful that she's doing this job.
And you see that she's interacting with Drew, interacting with Susan, on her phone, texting, dealing with potentially World War III level problems while having to deal with this signal gate nonsense.
It's wild.
And us nudniks in the hallway.
Yeah, I wanted a selfie.
I didn't ask for a selfie with her.
I thought that would be a little bit too much.
But I introduced you to her.
I didn't ask her if she knew me from Twitter.
Helena Habba knew me from Twitter, so that was good.
Oh, that's nice.
Drew, what we're going to do now, I think we're 428 in.
Okay. Let me see if...
I'm looking at Matthew in Cryptus.
Did we have any Hrumbel Hrantz that I should get to?
What kind of what?
Hrumbel Hrantz.
These are the tipped questions over on Hrumbel.
Oh. That I'll get to.
But what I think we're going to do, we're going to move this over.
Drew, you got another 20 or so minutes.
With you.
We're going to go to Locals for an after party.
VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com.
And we're going to get to some of your questions for Dr. Drew.
I've got some more questions, and it's not all going to be neurotic questions about my physical health, but we're going to get to those too.
Oh, no doubt.
Let me see what's going on here.
Rumble Fleet Lord Avatar.
Oh, there's a bunch here.
Okay. Fleet Lord Avatar says, Dr. Drew, appreciate you staying public in a standalone stream.
Can you tell your experience with environment activism in 70s, AIDS in the 80s, and other events during your lifetime?
Would love to hear them.
And then we got locals.
Our spam ranger says, regarding the jabs, I am from the semiconductor industry and R&D fraud pushing defective products.
You have good viewers.
You have smart viewers.
I'm not saying that just because I'm saying that.
We've got the best damn viewers ever.
No, no.
I have the best damn viewers.
You just have a subset.
Those are fighting words.
Come on over and fight in an hour.
Come on over.
It's an overlapping Venn diagram.
Drew supporters, Viva supporters.
Bam. Fantastically smart people.
It said, so working in the R&D, defective products, markets, short-term profits is a persistent problem.
It's important to separate the science from the business, politics, and such.
1,000% agree.
1,000%.
And I'm worried about, I complained earlier about the journal's publishing data that I can make sense of.
The fact that that's not happening is another adulteration that you don't, maybe, I don't know if you deal with the semiconductor or not.
Back to the first guy's question.
So I always make an issue of the fact that I was very involved in the ecology movement of the 70s.
No one's old enough now to remember that the first climate movement was called ecology.
Maybe you could find the flag.
It's a green striped flag with what looks like a theta sign where the stars should be.
You can show it to at least from Viva.
Ecology. Ecology flag from the 70s.
And I was deep into it.
I was convinced.
I came home from my first year of college and I just excoriated my parents.
This thing?
That's it.
That's the ecology flag.
How amazing is the internet?
This is it, people.
Oh, there you go.
Turn it sideways.
You can't really see it.
There it is.
It kind of looks like the flag.
I want to say, like, not Jamaica, but maybe Cuba.
What's the theta in the upper corner there?
It's like thaw.
It's the word thaw in Greek.
Hold on.
Now I just saw that there's the ecology, but I made it.
Gay. I don't even know if this is supposed to be a meme.
Ooh, let me see.
I like it.
If only we had thought of that then.
I used to work for my first job ever, door-to-door sales.
The company was called E-College E. E-College E. And it was recyclable house products for college students.
But I was 13 or 14. This is like the 90s though, right?
93. Yeah, so I'm talking about deep in the 70s.
So in the 70s, here's what we had concluded.
A maximum.
And I mean...
We did the math.
Maximum 20 years of petroleum products available in the world.
20 years we were done.
Not that it was going to destroy us because we were going to run out anyway, so we needed to plan for that.
Two, famine.
Guaranteed. Guaranteed famine.
Now, I want to remind people, GMOs are what got us out of that particular predicament.
So say what you will about GMOs.
I understand the criticism, but we were predicting famine, and we would have been right had there not been GMOs.
Number three, you won't remember this.
Acid rain.
Acid rain is going to destroy.
Because North Atlantic and New England is where the acid rain is.
So Canada got the acid rain stuff.
They were saying the erosion of monuments, the erosion of buildings.
I remember a card.
One of my earliest memories was a card of one of the reindeers with its tongue out.
And then it's Santa Claus saying, not that kind of acid rain.
And we're going to destroy all water sources with the acid rain and algae blooms.
And finally, Guaranteed new ice age within 30 years.
Global dimming.
Global dimming.
Global ice.
We're not going to survive the new ice age.
Check out Newsweek, Time Magazine, Front Page, National Geographic.
Guaranteed science.
You're a science denier.
You're a climate denier if you took issue with ice age coming.
So that history, I'm sorry, affects my judgment now.
So when people say the exact GD same thing, I go, hmm, I can't trust anybody in the press.
Hmm, my own discipline has been adulterated by crazy influences I never would have imagined.
Hmm, I said the same thing 50 effing years ago in the other direction.
Maybe my skepticism has a basis to it.
Just maybe.
It's all I'm saying.
Maybe it's right.
Maybe it isn't.
I'm skeptical.
Skeptical at everything now.
It's terrible.
But my history of working in these areas and doing the math and doing the science and accusing other people of being science deniers or something, whatever terms we used back then, just naive or dumb.
I've got to check one thing, Drew.
Listen to the old timers.
I'm a time traveler, I tell you.
I come from another era.
To warn you about this present moment.
Let me just check with, who are we raiding?
We've got to figure out who we're raiding.
Raiding? Is it, well, Kim Guilfoyle?
Before. What a good one.
Locals.com for some after-party questions.
One question from our Locals community.
I will not ask it in the way the individual asked it because it wasn't polite.
Have this hypocrite explain it.
I'm reading it exactly the way it was asked.
I don't think you have anything to do with it.
Explain the prices of insulin, diabetic testing strips, EpiPens, the massive markup on drugs that's been around for 30 years.
There's no actual disagreement here.
Let me tell you part of the problem.
Don't disagree at all.
Look. As a general physician, you can barely make a living.
Pharmaceuticals have gone crazy.
Hospitals have gone crazy.
That's, you know, all these years of doctors make too much money.
Plastic surgeons make too much money.
And they don't make twice what I make.
They make somewhere between 100 and 1,000 times what I make.
1,000 times.
What I'm able to do working in an ICU for an hour, they can make 1,000 times that or certain surgeries.
Is it because they're… It's a free market.
Okay, the rich people who are getting these procedures are willing to pay them a bunch of money.
Because the people that are the best can command that money.
Yeah, and then the rich people pay for it.
Here's what you've got to understand, though.
This is the problem, okay?
I used to defend pharmaceutical companies this way.
And call me hypocrite, call me whatever, call me changing my opinions.
I change all the time, and I will change again.
But here's something I used to defend pharmaceuticals for.
When you pull a molecule, Off the shelf and identify it.
The clock begins ticking on your patent right then.
And you have 10 years to make all your money back.
Your R&D, your investment, your recouping, your marketing.
To go from identification to market to profit, okay?
On average, to get a molecule through the state, all the clinical trials that are required and the FDA.
It's somewhere between $800 million and $2 billion.
A molecule through the FDA, $2 billion.
And then you have exactly five years, sometimes six, or seven even.
Five years to make your money back.
That's it.
And then it goes generic, and then it's pennies again.
So, five years.
Maybe, maybe, the patent life ought to be expanding.
I don't know.
Maybe 15 years.
Give them 10 years to get their money back.
Will they be good citizens and reduce the prices?
I don't know.
But the demands and the amount of money at some of these products, you know, they aren't going to make the money back because the conditions are rare.
It's one of the reasons why they go for the so-called Me Too.
It's why there's Pepsid.
Tagamet and all the different medicines because you don't have to go through all that R&D.
You just go, oh, I've got the same thing.
Let's get it to the market quick.
Me too.
And that's much quicker and a much more effective way to make money.
It's also why you'll see these stupid drugs that are compost because you get another five years sometimes out of them in terms of the patent.
It's just stupid.
It's just the system is screwed up that way.
And it's in this country such a problem.
We're where the patent laws are where they are.
Why is it so much cheaper up in Canada?
And that's a damn good explanation as to why.
Dylan, I believe it's redacted that we're rating, correct?
We are rating redacted.
Redacted news.
They're awesome.
I'm going to tease us into the locals after party with this particular question and then don't answer it, Drew, until we get there.
The argument that people claim that COVID doesn't exist because it's never been isolated.
Are you able to answer that question?
Good. Stop.
Don't do it.
Don't even look at him.
You might want to look at him.
Drew, 5.30.
Sorry, I didn't mean to point.
Him. You were able to answer that question?
I think so.
Good. Everybody, if you're not coming to vivabarneslaw.locals.com, go raid redacted or go watch whatever else you want to watch.
Download the app.
Make sure that you have notifications turned on.
Drew, do you have a channel on Rumble?
I do.
Ask Dr. Drew.
Or is it just Dr. Drew?
I think it's Dr. Drew.
The show is Ask Dr. Drew.
I think it's Dr. Drew.
Help me.
Dr. Drew?
Yep. We will be live at 5.30 Eastern, 2.30 Pacific time.
Dr. Peter McCullough.
We're going to really talk some serious science there with Dr. McCullough and talk Spike.
And then Stephanie Van Watson telling us about pentadecanoic acid.
It's not just, it's not going to be just science, but it will be a little heavy science.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
What's up?
We're still on the air here.
No, no, no, not yet.
We're going to be another 20 minutes.
It will not technically be a raid, but people will go get it anyhow.
Okay. It's in there, people.
I said, Dr. Drew.
That's Susan, Dr. Drew.
My then producer.
Ran in here in a panic that I wasn't going to properly promote, which is a reasonable thing to panic about.
I'm the worst promoter on earth.
I think I might still be worse.
Download the app and make sure notifications are turned on.
We're coming to Locals right now.
I will be live tomorrow.
As far as I get home in time, I'm going to leave early and I will do the 4 o'clock show.
It's a privilege to talk to your peoples.
Thank you for being here.
It's always fun to work with you.
When you said you were going to be here, it solidified my comment to watch it.
We had to move heaven and earth.
We're in the same room, people.
