Ask Dr. Drew - Why Canadians Want To Become 51st State w/ Viva Frei, Amanda Head & Wexit Founder Peter Downing – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 486

Episode Date: May 26, 2025

Canadian activists are pushing for Alberta to join the USA as the 51st state, driven by economic woes, political alienation, and threats against free speech. The Alberta 51st State Movement seeks a re...ferendum to leave Canada, join the US, and gain free trade. While 90% of Canadians reject this plan, 10% in these provinces back it – exposing a significant distrust that Canadian citizens have of their government leaders. Amanda Head is a White House Correspondent for Just The News, host of the Furthermore with Amanda Head podcast, and co-host of Just The News, No Noise, airing weekdays at 6PM ET on the Real America’s Voice Network.

Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, more great guests today. Amanda Head is on location at the White House. She is the White House correspondent for Just the News. Also the host of Furthermore with Amanda Head podcast. Weekdays at 6 p.m. on America's Real America's Voice Network, JustTheNews.com, FurthermorePod.com. And then we will be joined by Viva Frye and his audience, we will simulcast with his show to talk a little bit about the 51st state of Alberta, Canada or Alberta, the 51st state, I guess we would call it.
Starting point is 00:00:34 And we will be visited later in the show by Peter Downing who is actually the founder of the movement called Wexit America Fund, which is about, he is a former policeman and he is a high profile leader of the Alberta 51st state movement. Yes, that exists. I know California may secede to Canada, but we may get a piece of Canada in return.
Starting point is 00:00:56 We're getting the better deal. We'll be back with Amanda Het right after this. Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre. Psychopaths start this way. He was an alcoholic. Because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:01:14 I'm a doctor for ****. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat.
Starting point is 00:01:29 You have trouble, you can't stop, and you might help stop it. I can help. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say. ["Truck Month at GMC"] It's Truck Month at GMC. Tackle the open road with added confidence in a 2025 Sierra 1500 Pro Graphite at 0% financing for up to 72 months.
Starting point is 00:01:55 With an available 5.3 liter V8 engine, 20 inch high gloss black painted aluminum wheels, off-road suspension with available 2 inch factoryalled lift kit, plus a towing capacity of up to 13,200 pounds. You'll be ready for anything this truck month. Truck month is on now. Ask your GMC dealer for details. When we first partnered with Active Skin Repair, little did I know that our granddaughter, Eloise, parents were already using the brand product
Starting point is 00:02:22 on her tender skin. That is the Hydrogel Spray, which comes in three strengths, baby, kids, and adults. It harnesses the power of the body's own immune system to heal rashes, cuts, scrapes, bug bites, even eczema and dermatitis. Here's the company founder and CEO, Justin Gardner. The technology was just kind of really mind blowing to me
Starting point is 00:02:42 on how simple and how effective it was. The key ingredient is hypochlorous acid, clinically proven antimicrobial molecule already used in hospitals. What's really cool about it is again, no toxic disease. So you're not using any harsh antiseptics. It's non cytotoxic. So when you're putting it on, you're killing the bacteria, but you're not hurting any of those healthy cells that your body's producing to actually help heal itself
Starting point is 00:03:07 I have been using active skin repairs highly ironic serum on my face and the results have been great So the only products I can use try them both by picking up the bundle for 20% off at dr Drew comm slash skin repair that again is dr. Drew comm slash skin repair That again is drdrew.com slash skin repair. So before I bring our guests in, I want to shine a little light on the hydrating skin serum. It is the only moisturizing agent I can use, literally. Susan had to persuade me to try it and it worked great. I tried to bring a small amount
Starting point is 00:03:41 in like one of those airplane containers for Europe, and I had some skin challenges because of all the sun exposure, wind exposure, and I couldn't find the damn thing, and I was hell to live with because of it. So when I got home, I grabbed my active skin repair, face and body, hydrating serum, well thank you. I ordered more, I like ran out.
Starting point is 00:04:02 How did I lose that? That's what I understand. I know the container, I can see like it's still sitting in front of me, but I had to tear our whole, nah, ridiculous, anyway. So that was me. Oops, he couldn't live without it. I couldn't, it was really troubling.
Starting point is 00:04:16 All right, let's go right to my first guest, Amanda Head, on location in the White House, correspondent for Just the News, future, furthermore, with Amanda Head Podcast. Amanda, I first of all thank you for making an effort to give us a great shot from outside the White House, which would essentially be the same shot. I shouldn't actually say anything,
Starting point is 00:04:37 because all the press tents give you that shot that you're giving us here anyway, but we didn't want you to get electrocuted out in the thunderstorms I know and I appreciate that listen if we're gonna be talking about the maha movement when you're talking about maha I know it's not one of the stipulations of it But I'm pretty sure a requirement of being healthy ever or again is not getting burnt to a crisp by lightning. So Yeah, yeah, I would agree a lightning strike is not part of the Maha plan. So I watched the press conference. I read the materials.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I was impressed. Everybody seemed very upbeat. President Trump said he would take Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makari, and Dr. Oz and fire all of them if they didn't operationalize this effort to get drug prices down. What did you hear in the room there? Yeah, you know, there were a lot of starkly revelatory items that President Trump talked about and I'll give you some of those statistics in a moment. But Dr. Drew, what was interesting to me as I was hearing you tell your story about what you went through with prostate cancer and what you're currently going through, I was thinking to myself, you know, at a time
Starting point is 00:05:48 when our medical and our health and our pharmaceutical industry is so distrusted right now, then they want to heap this on, you know, creating even more skepticism around, you know, did he know, didn't he know, did they test for PSA, did they not, who didn't examine him, who did examine him? It's horrible. But President Trump spoke about some of these statistics and these are, you know, it's hard. I get it that it is very hard for parents to listen to these statistics because there is a parental impetus to protect your children, but the conversation around vaccines and a lot of the issues from vaccines cannot be emphasized enough. So here are some items.
Starting point is 00:06:27 More than 40% of American children have at least one chronic health condition since the 1970s. Rates for childhood cancer have increased 50%. In the 1960s, less than 5% of children were obese. Now it is over 20%. So they are talking about the pesticides on our crops, they're talking about the nutrition in our foods, and all of these things, the overprescribing of certain drugs for children. And they, you know, the emphasis obviously is going to be on the younger population because if you have unhealthy children, those unhealthy children grow up to be unhealthy
Starting point is 00:06:58 adults. So if you can target people in the formative years, then that's, that is a huge breakthrough in the health establishment. And isn't it amazing that for so long, there has been this perception that on the left side of the aisle, they were the ones that were so health conscious, going vegan and caring about all the things that were in their foods,
Starting point is 00:07:16 and yet they weren't the ones who made this happen. And drug costs. They weren't the ones to make this happen. It was Donald Trump in concert with Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. and all of these folks who are helping lead this movement. I just think it's amazing to see, and I talk to people all the time
Starting point is 00:07:32 who consider themselves to be kind of hippie on this side of things. And they used to be Democrats and they said, I haven't changed, but the party certainly have. Oh, for sure. There's no doubt about that. I'm the same way. I thought I was a liberal, now I wonder what I am. Oh, for sure. There's no doubt about that. I'm the same way. I thought I was a liberal,
Starting point is 00:07:46 now I wonder what I am. I'm an orphan. But the thing that surprised me as it retained to drug prices was I didn't realize how other countries were taking advantage of in terms of making us subsidize their drug prices and get them better prices than us, and that we back the R and D for the drug companies
Starting point is 00:08:08 that allowed for the development of these drugs in the first place. This is all serious stuff. And it really reminds me of the whole tariff situation. And that's what Trump said. He said, it's just, we need to equalize things again. And if they don't want to, well, then we're not going to take the French wines
Starting point is 00:08:21 and we're not going to take their Italian cars. And that's just the way it's gonna go. I thought pretty interesting, pretty interesting. I'll miss the Italian cars and I will miss the French wine but not if it means that I get really cheap prices for pharmaceuticals for my fellow Americans. I actually knew this was happening from personal experience because I used to suffer from debilitating migraines
Starting point is 00:08:39 and migraine drugs are some of the most expensive ones on the market when they first get released. And I have a sister-in-law who my family's actually, I married into a Canadian family. My sister-in-law on the northern side of the border was paying just, I think, a $35 copay for her drug. I was paying, I think the ultimate price was about $615 because it was a brand new drug.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Unfortunately, I knew this, but this is kind of the theme, Drew, that the American people foot the bill and they end up getting screwed in the process. And if you find everyday Americans and you take the narrative out of it, you take the Democrat messaging, whether you're talking about the tariffs or the pharmaceutical drugs, if you just present it to them and say, hey, with respect to both of these items, the American people were getting screwed. We should only, you know, this should be reciprocal across the board, and especially with pharmaceuticals. We're developing that here.
Starting point is 00:09:28 We are placing the risk at the feet of the people who are developing them, the people who are researching them. So we should get the better end of the deal, at least make it equal, but make it even better for Americans. And that's what Trump seems to be trying to do in all of it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:42 You know, Marty McCurry framed, he went to, President Trump went around the room and got comments from the various participants. And Marty McCurry said something very interesting. And I liked the way he framed it. He said, look, he said, when it comes to CAR T cell and checkpoint inhibitors and these wonderful surgeries, nobody does it better than us.
Starting point is 00:10:04 That does not take away from the fact that we are amongst the sickest people in the world and we need to figure out why that is so doctors aren't playing whack-a-mole with chronic illness. Now one thing that did not come up, psychotropic medications came up, but the mental health condition of this country did not specifically come up. And my prediction is they're gonna find, they're looking for root causes. That's gonna be one of the root causes. That's gonna be a really serious problem
Starting point is 00:10:30 with our families, our spiritual health, our meaning making and our mental health generally. Yeah, and look, I mean, like we said, this movement is somewhat focused on children because you want to raise up a healthy young generation. And True, I mean, you hit the nail on the head. When you look at all of the drugs that kids are prescribed these days, we are overprescribing for things like ADHD to an extreme and damaging degree.
Starting point is 00:10:54 And there are dozens of studies out there that show that that can change your brain chemistry. So you put a child on this and you put them on it at, let's say, kindergarten, so age five, and you have it on them. Even if you take them off of that drug in middle school, that's still years of being on this drug. And there's just not enough research behind so much of what is new in those drugs, in the vaccine schedule, to know what the implications are 20 and 30 years down the road. And I don't think there's any irony in the fact that you have these people who are sicker,
Starting point is 00:11:28 you've got the mental health issues, the chronic diseases like you just mentioned. Americans are unhealthy, but I will say, I feel like that's kind of part of why our medical system, our surgical system is so good is because unfortunately, they've had to deal with this. Yeah, and we as physicians, we're too busy taking care of pathology to deal with this. Yeah, and we as physicians, we're too busy taking care of pathology
Starting point is 00:11:47 to be health experts. It's just the way it is. Sure. We're just so busy dealing with illness. And we get a judgment around health based on our experience taking care of illness, but we're too busy dealing with the illness right now. The other thing is it pertains
Starting point is 00:12:03 to some of the psychotropic medicines which you raised there. ADHD, one of the conversations that people are not having yet is guess what one of the primary manifestations of severe childhood trauma is childhood ADHD. And yet we completely skate over that and deal with the surface symptoms of the hyperactivity.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's because of the trauma. The trauma needs the treatment. And we just don't deal with that. We of the hyperactivity. It's because of the trauma. The trauma needs the treatment and we just don't deal with that. We don't even identify that. Then the other thing is all these medications, well, not all, but the vast majority don't have much research on them beyond six weeks. That's the way most psychiatrists,
Starting point is 00:12:40 maybe six months at the most, but six weeks is sort of the average for psychotropic medication. It's really kind of astonishing when you think about how long people stay on these medications. Absolutely, Andrew, that brings into the conversation drugs like Accutane.
Starting point is 00:12:53 I mean, that was a new drug that hit the market and in the early 90s, practically every teenage in America, if they had a pimple, they were prescribed with Accutane. And now we know, and it took years to find out that that can actually lead to higher cases of depression. So it's not even necessarily the psychotropic drugs.
Starting point is 00:13:10 And Drew, it's like when we were growing up and they were singing the song to us, you know, the neck bones connected to the backbone, the shoulder bone and all of that. They're not making the connection between all of these things. And like you said, you've got medical doctors who are treating one issue, they're not trying to heal the issue, and they're probably not talking to people on the other person's team. So there's not really an effort in concert
Starting point is 00:13:32 to make the person healthier and to heal the root causes of the issue. They're just slapping a band-aid. Yeah, exactly. No. We just don't have time for it. We just don't. And, but yeah, I'll tell you what,
Starting point is 00:13:44 the root cause of all this stuff is really where we need to spend our time and we have not been. There's something else you triggered in my thinking about the medicines and the heel bone connected to the ankle bone. I can't remember now what I was going to say. But shoot, it always comes to me about two minutes later.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Accutane, oh, there you go. So what I was going to say was, you know, you can even go more towards the root cause as it pertains to all medication, is that we expect medication to solve our problems. Medications, 100% of medications are dangerous. Vaccines are dangerous. Medications are dangerous.
Starting point is 00:14:25 You take them only when the risk is outweighed significantly by the reward. We have to do no harm. Adding risk with medication is usually all we are doing. And at the same time, back to our mental health, we are ignoring the fact that life is hard and leaning into some of those challenges is how we develop resiliency and competency.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And ordinary misery is a good thing. Imagine that. Not safe spaces, but ordinary misery. Honestly, you just put yourself in situations where you're not 100% comfortable, then even that builds robustness. You know, we're in an age where if it's cold in your house, you turn on the heater.
Starting point is 00:15:13 If it's hot in your house, you turn on the AC. Discomfort does not actually mean that something is damaging you. You know, I was on a kick for a while, where I was taking cold showers every morning, and I always thought to myself, it's uncomfortable, but it's not hurting me. And I think that we have moved into a place
Starting point is 00:15:30 where we are so comfortable. We look for all of the conditions to be perfect. When in fact, you look at our ancestors, they didn't have any environment that was perfect. And we've moved into the place where we over-medicate everything, and you know, even back to the Accutane thing, rather than treating it with that,
Starting point is 00:15:45 focus on maybe there's a dairy issue, maybe there's other type of, maybe there's a hormonal issue and focusing on those types of things, because your body's not going to produce problems for no reason. There's obviously a reason behind that. And I think that that's gotten lost
Starting point is 00:15:58 in medical treatment these days. I wanna welcome to the show Viva Frye and his friends, his viewers rather, who are also his friends. And they are our friends. We are live on his channel right now as well as our own platforms. Is Viva available to come in so I can introduce him to Amanda?
Starting point is 00:16:21 We'll see how this all works. Yeah, I'm bringing him in now. Okay. Okay, sit tight. So what is the, hey, one quick thing before I get Viva in here, how was the fallout from the South African thing yesterday? The fallout from journalists
Starting point is 00:16:36 or the fallout from everyday people? Just the sort of the general reaction because it was such an extraordinary thing to watch. And I didn't know quite what to make of it at the time. And I'm still trying to figure out what's real and what's not. And it's just an extraordinary thing to watch. And I didn't know quite what to make of it at the time. And I'm still trying to figure out what's real and what's not. And it's just an extraordinary thing. But what's the fallout sort of been around Washington?
Starting point is 00:16:53 I will tell you this from everyday Americans, including one person in particular, a friend of mine who is from South Africa. He is exceedingly grateful that someone is finally speaking out about this and and and Confronting the leader of South Africa about this I think that I think that South Africa's president came expecting to get the normal presidential treatment Which is we're not going to talk about that We don't want to make for bad or contentious TV and obviously that is not what you get with President Trump the Oval Office these
Starting point is 00:17:21 Days is like the principal's office for global leaders and you can come there and it can go one of two ways. It can go the way of Bibi Netanyahu and Javier Malay, or it can go in the direction of Zelensky. And I think he expected it to go one way and maybe it went a little differently. It really, and of course when Trump creates these scenes in the, I guess he's in the Roosevelt Room or high Viva
Starting point is 00:17:43 right outside the Oval Office, he always goes, right outside the white, the Oval Office. He always goes, well, it makes good TV. I always think to myself, yeah, he knows television. Viva, I want to introduce you to Amanda Head. She is a correspondent at the White House with Just the News.

I do and then I have my own show at 6 o'clock but Viva I married into a Canadian family they are a mixed family when it comes to any type of you know 51st state situation whether it is just one province or all of them what do you hear from your Canadian friends I actually hear that a lot of people in Canada were rightly offended by the joke, the quip.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Sure. The problem is they were offended because they are among the most propagandized people on earth and when you media telling you how offensive it is day in and day out and that it's a serious assault on national sovereignty, people are impressionable. But I was actually surprised by how many people were rightly offended by it, how many people didn't understand the reason for which Trump was doing it, and how many people just don't understand that Canada has legit become a national security threat for America, such that, you know, they say Canada's not for sale, purchase was not
Starting point is 00:20:20 the only option in terms of, you know, remedying national security threats. Right. They don't appreciate what Canada has become by way of national security threat to America. Yeah, I was talking to Peter before we came here. I was telling him I married into a Canadian family. And one of the things that they said was the biggest issue is that Canadians by nature are so polite. So when it comes to any type of hard conversations about what's going wrong in Canada, if there
Starting point is 00:20:43 is a hard conversation to be had about what is the trade in Canada. You know, if there is a hard conversation to be had about, you know, what is the trade imbalance between our two countries? What does the US provide to us that we should be doing for ourselves? But they're so darn polite. So I think so many of them took issue with President Trump's directness in that.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And yeah, here we are. Not to correct you, I'll phrase it differently. Canadians are subservient. And there's a difference between subservience and politeness. And subservient and there's a difference between subservience and politeness. And subservience is polite until such time as the other people are not equally as subservient. Then they stop being polite.
Starting point is 00:21:11 And there's nothing polite about calling the cops on your neighbors because they're not in the park. So people say that Canadians are polite. But it's a historical genetic difference in the country that America fought the British for their independence, their God-given rights, and the Canadians are subjects to a king or a queen who says what their rights are,
Starting point is 00:21:34 and they're very deferential to authority and therefore very angry at the people who are not equally deferential to that authority. Yeah, I tease my husband, because you know, we have that American, go ahead. I spent a bit of time up there lately, and they will tell you, we have that American, go ahead. I spent a bit of time up there lately and they are very nice, but God help you
Starting point is 00:21:50 if you scratch the surface, you scratch underneath and seething rage comes out, especially over in British Columbia. It's really quite striking. And now we're gonna talk about the Albertans. No. Oh, look. We're going to talk about the Albertans. No.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Oh, look. When I found the most inciting to the British Columbians, and this is my observation, you were lovely. I had a great time there. But when it come to what's mine and what's yours, oh my God, sharing does not really a thing. Is that really a concept in British Columbia. It really was striking.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Viva my aunt, anything there? Well, I mean, there's the old, it's the old communist joke. Like what's mine is mine. What's mine is yours and what's yours, no. What's mine, what's yours is mine and what's mine is mine. It's the old joke. Children do it. No, like British Columbia is sort of the epicenter
Starting point is 00:22:42 of woke and like Vancouver and Vancouver Island even more so. I was out in Newfoundland. Victoria. Victoria, Victoria. Yeah. But like you go to Newfoundland, nicest people I've ever met in my entire life where they invited me in and gave me, you know, pickled rabbit literally and just wonderful people.
Starting point is 00:22:59 There's wonderful people everywhere in every country across every across the globe. And there's also yes also very important people. In America, I sort of analogize the liberals in Canada to the Democrats in America, very tolerant, very smiley, smiley, until you say something like, boys have penises and girls have a, and then they act like the triggered meme. I have to tell you guys, at Winnipeg's Richardson Airport,
Starting point is 00:23:21 my husband and I flew there to be with his family. We trade off on Christmases. And it was the first time we had seen this. He was in the men's bathroom and found a box of tampons at Richardson Airport. And he took a video and showed it to me afterwards. And I was so proud of him. He took the little basket and he just dumped it in the trash.
Starting point is 00:23:38 And that was the first time I saw it in Winnipeg. And I thought, my gosh, this place is doomed. And this was two or three years ago. I say only- You know what's interesting, talking about these different country things is, I listened to a lot of French radio and I was listening to a guy I interviewed this morning,
Starting point is 00:23:53 he was Russian, and he said, you know, people think Russia is still under some sort of Soviet system. We are entrepreneurial, we have freedom. You're thinking of Russians as Putin. Putin has just been a strong man that stabilized our country. We, you know, you feel what you will about him. Russia is now one of the most liberal free places
Starting point is 00:24:12 you can be. And he was just going after example after example. And I thought, oh my God. And he said, now that he goes, he goes, no one in Russia thinks about the war. And he said he had a friend whose brother-in-law died in the war and his position was well He enlisted he wanted to go to war. So what are you gonna do? It's the people die. That's it
Starting point is 00:24:29 That's their lesser level of involvement with the war with Ukraine There's a Ruski toughness and mentality that is apparent in that story The amazing thing drew like I met a lot of Russians in Canada who are Not as amenable or as not as easily manipulated by state media, state propaganda because they grew up in- Correct. Soviet Russia.
Starting point is 00:24:51 They're inoculated. They've been inoculated by the Soviet system. They don't fall for it. We fall for it. Listen, the E, I heard a great term yesterday, the EUSSR. The EUSSR is more authoritarian and centralized and Soviet-like than the Russian citizens
Starting point is 00:25:11 are subjected to right now. Yeah. It is weird calling it, I call it not even jokingly the European Soviet Union, but it is wild where, Trump and Vance are right to some extent where they say, Europe and to some extent where they say that Europe and to some extent Canada does not share the core values of America of a free country anymore. Why have, you know, don't sever ties entirely.
Starting point is 00:25:34 But if you don't culturally respect the same things where you're locking people up for social media posts like they're doing in the UK, finding people for misgendering employees like they're doing in Canada, at some, you're going to say this relationship is no longer worth pursuing unless one of us changes and America should not go down that road. So it is amazing that the people who come from oppressive regimes are more easily able to identify the tactics of a government that wants to control you at all costs. The people in Europe, in Canada, are more amenable to still think the government's there to protect you,
Starting point is 00:26:07 because they listen to Ronald Reagan. Yeah. Yeah. Before I go, I will say, I've always had this perception of Canada, even since I married into a Canadian family, that everybody has that friend who has that longstanding relationship back and forth,
Starting point is 00:26:21 and they intentionally leave something at their house so that there's still a piece of that relationship they can go back to. That's what Canada feels like to me, because I know you have your own constitution, but you still have the Royal Bank, you still have Royal Ballets, there's still this abusive relationship passed
Starting point is 00:26:37 with the Crown that there hasn't been a clean hard divorce. We're not streaming them anymore. Now you're just sitting by yourself on the stream not talking. No, no, I see her. We got her. Now you're just sitting as by yourself on the stream, not talking. No, no, I see her. We got her. We got it. We've got you Amanda, we have you.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Oh good. Good, good, good. Yeah, we see you. We got you. But I heard what you said and I'll let you go. It seems like the technical people are jumping in there. And God bless the queen and the commonwealth of the United Kingdom, what's left of it.
Starting point is 00:27:02 So, Amanda, we'll look for you. Look for you on Xjustthenews.com, X at Amanda Head, and of course, Just the News, and also furthermore with Amanda Head. Thank you for being here, Amanda. We'll talk soon. That's right, thank you so much for having me. Take care, bye-bye, guys.
Starting point is 00:27:18 You bet. And so, Vivo, we interrupted your show. What were you talking about when we jumped in on you? I was segueing into what I thought we were going to talk about here, which was medical assistance in dying in Canada. Yes, that's next. That's that's we're getting into now. So so you've been outraged by that and been very sort of outspoken about the excesses of that. And I'm aware of people who have been, I've interviewed some of the Canadians who have been encouraged to consider
Starting point is 00:27:49 assisted, medically assisted suicide because they had disabilities or they had pain or they had depression. And this one case, I can't remember her name, Susan, she had like a transverse myelitis from, guess what? A vaccine reaction. And she early was being encouraged to consider suicide, early. She had like a transverse myelitis from guess what a vaccine reaction and uh, she Early was being encouraged to consider suicide early as opposed to just giving her some some
Starting point is 00:28:13 Assistance in living with a 12 year old son. Yeah, right drew that that was kayla pulik who got uh, Rent a quadriplegic or a quadriplegic from the Moderna booster after having to had two Pfizer shots. There was another case I don't know if you saw the ad for Simon's. Simon's is a retail clothing chain in Canada who decided to dabble their toes into euthanasia, medical assistance in dying and they did this whole this this two and a half minute montage and they called it like all is beauty or something about a woman who chose to end her life. She was like 30 somebody, a young woman because, you know, she wanted to die with dignity. And then it came out that the woman had posted Facebook posts to the effect that she didn't
Starting point is 00:28:54 want to die, but that she couldn't get care in life. So she just, you know, opted for death care. When I first discovered it was my brother, like two and a half years ago, who put up a post on Twitter that says something like, I think it was 13,000 people were euthanized in Canada in that year. And I was like, that's impossible. And then I started looking into it and it's been like going up 30, 40% year after year since the Supreme court authorized or declared constitutional medical assistance in dying in 2016. declared constitutional medical assistance in dying in 2016. And then they legislated that they were going to allow for the mentally ill to take their own lives because you don't want to discriminate against the mentally ill and you want to allow them to contract into death.
Starting point is 00:29:33 So they amended that, but then sunsetted that provision for a few years and then they extended that sunseting the provision. But now we've entered a realm in Canada where euthanasia accounts for 4. some odd percent of all death in the country. It's like the top five leading causes of death. They want to expand it to mature minors or there's discussion about expanding it to mature minors for whatever that means. The mentally ill, they did a poll that like something like two thirds of Canadians approve of euthanasia for the homeless.
Starting point is 00:30:02 And it's like it's an absolute death cult. And then you get state run media, which Canadians don't yet identify as propaganda saying euthanasia for the homeless. And it's like, it's an absolute death cult. And then you get state-run media, which Canadians don't yet identify as propaganda, saying euthanasia is actually gonna save healthcare costs. It's gonna cut costs of the healthcare system because we're gonna kill the sick that we can't take care of, which we can't take care of now because of how bad the system is.
Starting point is 00:30:17 So it's straight up a death cult coming out of Canada. And it's been put on blast to the point where they sort of, they're trying to downplay the extent to which they want to liberalize youth in Asia. But it's state-sanctioned murder, and in two provinces, they've now basically said that you sort of have to opt out or you cannot opt out of organ donations. I think it was called Avery's Law out of New Brunswick. And so what we are literally going to have is the state killing people in hospitals and harvesting their organs.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And there's going to be because they're going to be presumed to have opted into organ donning. And the you know, the state gets to decide when you're effectively dead for the purpose of the harvest harvesting your organs. And we've just seen the numbers expand like exponentially year over year. It's so odd this sort of a sequious sort of caving to centralized authority. It's the weirdest thing to me. I mean, haven't they seen enough now?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Haven't we had enough examples? I mean, look, the whole, the Biden story is getting people's attention, right? They're like, oh my God, they were lying to us. I can't believe it. They were obfuscating and lying. Yeah, yeah, from day one, about just about everything. We now have all the data on myocarditis coming out.
Starting point is 00:31:38 They suppressed that. They attacked people who wanted to talk about it. Anything to do with Biden's mental status was attacked and just sidelined and maliciously. This is the part I don't like. You have Jake Tapper running around going, I guess I got it wrong. I mean, what are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:31:54 No, no, no, no, no, no. Getting it wrong is one thing, but participating in the Psi-op of silencing alternative opinions, as you said a few minutes ago, that's the part that runs contrary to the basic principles of these countries and why we have countries like America and Canada.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Jake Tapper didn't get anything wrong. He was a pathological liar and a participant in the coverup from the get-go. There's no, he's not going to convince me otherwise. Get out there, oh, I didn't, everybody knew. And if he didn't know, he's either exceptionally blind or he's in on it and he's in on it. But what is amazing is that they lied to us from the beginning. They concealed all of the information.
Starting point is 00:32:33 They suppressed actual information from Facebook at the time because they didn't want to create vaccine has it. They denied the injuries. You know, I mean, we lived through this. At first it didn't cause myocarditis. Then one in 100,000. Then it was one in 20,000. Then it's a hundred thousand then it was one in twenty thousand then it's one in five thousand That is one in five thousand per dose and then they started admitting I watched a bit of a dr
Starting point is 00:32:52 Peter McCullough during the hearings today Talking about how terrible it was and they knew that it was terrible. They knew that they were mass producing experimental jack hole can see Here we go. Oh, here is, by the way, here's Taffer. Look at this. Joe Biden, his advisors, and to a large degree, the entire democratic party bought into the argument that Donald Trump posed an existential threat to the United States. Joe Biden was the only one who could defeat him and therefore anything that went after Joe Biden would help Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:33:25 That argument, when you, when you convince yourself that the enemy, if you're a Democrat, the enemy is Donald Trump, if you convince yourself that the enemy is an existential threat, you can justify almost anything. Oh, not almost anything, you can justify anything. And that quote is my favorite one
Starting point is 00:33:42 because all the way back into the early part of the first Trump presidency, I kept saying, people feel delusional to me. It feels like a delusional preoccupation. And then COVID hit and I went, where do we become hysterical and delusional as a country? Whole world became hysterical and delusional. It really started with that.
Starting point is 00:34:00 The Trump is Hitler propaganda that they implanted in people's brains. And if he is Hitler, then anything is justified in stopping Hitler. You're going to know who the author is. It's a famous quote that they say those who can convince us to believe absurdities can get us to commit atrocities. It was maybe Nietzsche, but he's right. I mean, you remember that we were talking about mass formation psychosis during COVID and they were saying, no, it's a conspiracy theory because behavioral psychologists have
Starting point is 00:34:31 chimed in and said, it's not a real thing. And people don't understand a behavioral psychologist is someone who exercises or operates in the concept of mass formation psychosis. They've just called it a different thing. They call it behavior. But it started. Yes. I only noticed it starting in 2015 with Trump. And in retrospect, now I you know, Mark Robert, he planted the idea
Starting point is 00:34:53 in my head that this is actually just one big extension of MK Ultra mass formation psychosis level psychological manipulation. We've been going and people people don't seem to understand it in Canada, you know, bring it back up north. They literally admitted the military that COVID was a good time to test military propaganda on people and they were running fake stories about wolves on the loose in Nova Scotia to see how people would react.
Starting point is 00:35:16 It was a mass experimentation, psychological, physical. What about the killer bees? And then some people, it's the Mark Twain, like it's easier to convince, to fool some people than to convince them they've been fooled, because for parents right now to have to reconcile the fact that they might've injected their kids with this stuff and hurt their kids, to admit that is too hard, so they'll live with the lie.
Starting point is 00:35:38 But yes, it's Jake Tapper. I don't know, they, Jake Tapper what? Is't know. Jake Tapper what? Is a participant. By the way, people who complain about us talking over each other, we have a delay here. You end up talking over each other. It's very worked. Can I interrupt you guys who haven't taken a breath
Starting point is 00:35:52 in this entire show? Okay, go ahead. Okay, I have to interrupt you because Viva's feed is garbly gosh. It's kind of, it sounds like it's underwater. So the Dr. Drew feed is good. So if everybody is over there and wants to switch over, but we're trying to get in touch with Viva's producer
Starting point is 00:36:09 to talk to Caleb. Viva is Viva's producer. Yeah, I was, I couldn't get a break. You guys were talking so fast. And I said the same thing. I said, do this. Speed is. Why don't I take a commercial break?
Starting point is 00:36:24 How about that? Can I do that, Caleb? So Viva, call Caleb. No, we're going to raid your feed and then I'm going to end mine. So I don't know if you can hear me now, but we'll raid and then leave. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Okay. That we're doing right now? Yeah. Caleb, is that good? Yeah, that's perfect. Perfect. Raid us. Okay, perfect.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Caleb died. All right, my friend, talk to you soon. Raid and then whatever. And then we'll take a little break and we'll bring our next guest in, who is an advocate for Albrecht. Caleb died. Our friend, talk to you soon.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Yeah, take care. Raid and then whatever. All kinds of, we tried, we tried, but it was a clever idea, but it wasn't, I thought it was pretty good, but I enjoyed it.

This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins and a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to
Starting point is 00:38:36 our Alzheimer's disease. Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid and they didn't get the Alzheimer's. Humans have the same issue and we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before. And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called the Metabolites. It's a new nutritional C15, pentadecanoic acid it's called. The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough.

And I said, if you want to lose weight, it's a great way to help with appetite suppression too, or appetite management. All right, our next guest is Peter Downing. He is the primary founder of the movement Wexit America Fund.
Starting point is 00:40:44 High profile leader of the Alberta 51st state movement. He's a former police officer, army reservist. He used a public billboards 19 and 2020, 2019 to launch the Wexit Canadian separatist movement, so called and the Alberta USA movement. Peter, welcome to the program. There it is. Peter, we appreciate you being here
Starting point is 00:41:05 and I am fascinated by the movement. Hey, thanks for having me, Drew. Pleasure. So one of the things that kind of bothers me is this continued talk about Canada not being for sale. And the reality is the process of becoming a state, a territory and then a state, has nothing to do with exchange of funds.
Starting point is 00:41:29 Where in the world did anybody get the idea that this is a purchase? It's not the Louisiana purchase, it's a formation of a state. Yeah, I think it was good PR pick to get in the minds of low information voters who have a personal antipathy towards President Trump and
Starting point is 00:41:51 so how did you get involved in all this and and how realistic is it and You know and somebody was saying well, you know, California keeps talking about Succeeding and Alberta is talking about coming in. I thought god we would get a much better deal Let's let California go and bring Alberta in. That sounds like not even an even exchange. Sounds like we win with that one. Yeah, I started back in 2019. And it was, I've been involved in small C
Starting point is 00:42:18 conservative politics since about 2015, pro-life, pro-family type movements, those sorts of things. And then I got involved in the electoral politics a little bit more with our version of the Republican, and I say version in quotes, of the Republican Party, the conservative parties in Canada, both at the provincial and the federal levels. I spent 12 years in federal public service. So I always realized that we weren't getting the results that we were paying for in terms of the public delivery of law enforcement, those types of things.
Starting point is 00:42:55 And I always questioned why. So it was sort of one track social, one track in terms of public services. And it was when I realized, and it was just explained to me, you just looked at an electoral map that Eastern Canada, two cities, Toronto and Montreal in particular, had more votes in the House of Commons, more seats in the House of Commons.
Starting point is 00:43:16 We're in a Westminster parliamentary system. Then all of Alberta combined. And that was right at the time where we were experiencing massive job losses from Trudeau Net Zero policies. Now we have Mark Carney, who's the kingpin of the Net Zero movement, but a lot of people out of work. And the question was, why, why is this happening?
Starting point is 00:43:38 And it's really the systems that allows this to happen to have Alberta alienated and not to be able to have any real representation at the national level. So I had always said to myself, if you have a problem with something, put it on a billboard. I sold a broke down van I had for scrap metal and that paid for my first billboard. And I asked the question, should Alberta ditch Canada? And at the time it was the thing that everybody was talking about on Twitter, it was the thing that everybody was speaking about on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:44:12 In the Canadian, kind of the Canadian personality thing, I don't think it's that we're polite. I think that it's we're seeking broad consensus that we're not alone, that we're not the only ones thinking these things. When it was put on a billboard for public display for everybody to see, it sort of popped that psychological bubble where now it becomes the water that we swim in.
Starting point is 00:44:36 It started there. It took it to Saskatchewan because folks in the neighbouring province which is on the border of, it's actually borders Montana as well and it's very similar to North Dakota. It's a farming province. We are helping out the folks there. We did a bill board
Starting point is 00:44:54 should Saskatchewan leave Canada. Then as the year went on, I recognized that this is only affecting the conservative side of the spectrum because they need Western Canada to be able to form government. But the Liberal Party, the Justin Trudeau Party, the Mark Carney Party, didn't, their power base is in Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec.
Starting point is 00:45:17 So then I asked the question in 2020, should Alberta join the USA? And that was the lead up to the 2020 US federal election, obviously. I happened to be and always have been a major supporter and admirer of President Trump for his business achievements, his political achievements. I've been following him since he
Starting point is 00:45:35 was first on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air in the late 80s, early 90s when I was a little guy. So I put that up on a billboard and I put one right by the Alberta legislature and I put one right by the federal parliament in Ottawa and that got quite a big reaction. So that started to get it into the mindset,
Starting point is 00:45:55 that Wexit movement, that Alberta USA Foundation kind of got into the minds and formed a little bit of a political cultural base here in Alberta. The Joe Biden election and the COVID-19 got in the way of further progress, further natural progress on that. But COVID eventually went away and President Trump got reelected
Starting point is 00:46:16 and then in November that dinner in Mar-a-Lago with Trudeau he said that Canada should become the 51st state. Actually what he technically said is it should be split into two states, a conservative state and a liberal state. And folks
Starting point is 00:46:32 from 2020 reached back out to me and we whipped up the America fund project. And we took our premier, which is our version of our governor in Alberta, Daniel Smith, her trip down to Mar-a-Lago where she posed with President Trump and Kevin O'Leary, put that right on a big beautiful billboard.
Starting point is 00:46:50 And it was right at the time when the media here and the political class here were saying, oh, it's just a joke, he's teasing, he's making fun of Trudeau. Well, I recognized that the narrative had to be taken away from the politicians and the pundits. And I put up the billboard said, yeah Actually, we want this
Starting point is 00:47:09 Because they say Canada's not for sale. We have to protect our sovereignty Well, it's the politicians who want to protect their own sovereignty. It's the political class their powers Yeah for me My sovereignty would come from a first amendment, a second amendment and proper taxation with representation. So do you think that Trump coming up with sort of, I mean, he was, I'm sure, bringing up Canada as a 51stst or 52nd state
Starting point is 00:47:45 in a teasing manner, but his teasing usually has some sort of intent behind it. I mean, he's been thinking about stuff before he starts teasing, it seems to me. And I wonder, did he hear about your movement beforehand, or is this just something in the vapors? How did he come up with that all of a sudden? Because down here, we were all all like Greenland, Canada,
Starting point is 00:48:06 where'd this come from? It seems to have come out of nowhere, but I'm sure it didn't. Yeah, I don't think it did. The geopolitics from, I would even go back further to 2016, but the Arctic is almost the new Cold War taking control of the Northwest Passage. You see Panama, the Panama Canal down the south.
Starting point is 00:48:29 So Canada has no military, no ability to defend itself in the Arctic and has been subverted by the Chinese Communist Party for quite some time. We say Canada's not for sale, actually. Our political class sold it off in 2012 with something called the FIPPA, the Foreign Investment Protection Act. It was actually the conservative government
Starting point is 00:48:50 who signed that with China. And that was kind of the entryway for China to start snapping up Canadian assets and those kinds of things where we can't, Canadian companies sometimes can't get offshore oil permits, but Chinese companies can. So things like that, taking up the resources, because China doesn't produce its own energy.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Canada obviously does. But no, I think you guys in the States, the Trump administration's been looking at for quite some time. It was a very recent highlight. Being on your show is a highlight for me. I was, we were re-truthed, our New York Post interview was re-truthed
Starting point is 00:49:25 on true social by president Trump for Canadians who were over the moon and joined the 51st state to become the 51st state. When was that? When was that? That was on March 15th, March 15th. We've actually on the America Fund website that you go on the media and you can scroll down
Starting point is 00:49:39 and it's featured, you'll find it. And so what's going on in terms of this picking up steam? How do you tell whether you're, if this is part of a wave of support or who's into this or sort of where does it stand? If you're, I'm just an average Albertan, do I hear about this? Do I have a feeling about it?
Starting point is 00:50:00 Do I support it? What's going on on the ground? A couple of things. I work in my day job. I work in upstream oil and gas drilling operations. One of the support services on the rigs in Northern Alberta. I can tell you, not scientifically, but I can tell you anecdotically,
Starting point is 00:50:17 when I spent, I've been working in this industry for three years, over 85% of the guys, regular blue collar guys, they already feel that Alberta would be better off separate from Canada. And just about everybody, I only think I ever met two guys in three years who were strongly opposed to or closed off, not open to joining the United States. We put in the work, we typically work 75, 80 hour weeks. And then, I mean, I'm just looking at my time entries from the past.
Starting point is 00:50:51 So we look at that, we put in that time, we work in minus 40 to plus 40 weather. That would be minus 40 to I think plus 104 Fahrenheit to do the calculation. I think I'm right with that. It's something like 144 Fahrenheit. But that is what we work, because it gets really cold
Starting point is 00:51:11 and it gets really hot here as well. We put in that work, it's long, hard, painful. We're away from family. You can throw in all the hardships you can think about. And then we work and we make that money. But then when we circle our taxes paid, each paycheck is where does that go? We have this thing in Canada called an equalization program
Starting point is 00:51:32 and since it started, I think in the 1950s, Alberta hasn't seen a dollar back. It's other things that we have here, things like the prime minister of Canada gets to appoint our senators. So it would almost be something like imagine Donald Trump appoints Ted Cruz to be the senator for California, or if Hillary Clinton won, she can put Elizabeth Warren as the senator of Texas. But we actually have that here in Alberta or in Canada. When it comes to the political narrative out here, and if you type in Alberta
Starting point is 00:52:05 separation and you can see just see who's attacking it. And it's the Canadian political class that's absolutely attacking it the same way they attack President Trump for his, his ambush of the South African president, things like that they'll always it's almost good as evil and evil as good. But in terms of why they're not writing it off as a joke, one of the spin, I wouldn't say spin-offs, but the things that naturally originate, because it isn't like 1775 where we had an industrial,
Starting point is 00:52:36 you guys had industrialists who sought independence from Britain, they were Englishmen. We don't have the oil and gas industry coming up and it's not the oil and gas industry that's running it. It's really average working class and professional Albertans. We have something here called the Alberta Prosperity Project.
Starting point is 00:52:55 My friend Dennis Maudry, who was one of the first folks that got into the Wexit movement with me, he successfully launched the Alberta Prosperity Project. They're the ones out there. You might've seen a lawyer, Jeff Rath, who said he was going down to the states, to the White House or to Washington to talk about statehood.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Alberta becoming the 51st state. So it's that group. And what they've done is they've collected, I think they're pushing towards, I think they're at about 500,000 signatures pledges for a referendum. The premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, she's lowered the threshold
Starting point is 00:53:27 for a citizen initiated referendum, where we could have it on the ballot, maybe by the end of this year, even next year to have a referendum on separation from Canada. So this is what's being attacked right now. So I wanna interrupt you, I wanna understand that process.
Starting point is 00:53:45 For instance, like in this country, the way the states are aligned, the way Abraham Lincoln used to always phrase it, it's an alignment, it's a contract amongst equals. Therefore, one side does not have the capacity to just step out of that contract, like any contract. I don't like this anymore, I'm just not going to pay my bill, whatever.
Starting point is 00:54:07 But he used to always say, Abraham Lincoln, he would say the Confederate States so-called. He goes, these are states in insurrection. They were not states seceding because secession doesn't exist. Do you have a mechanism for a secession in Canada? And I have two questions. If you have some mechanism for a secession in Canada? And I have two questions. If you have some sort of mechanism,
Starting point is 00:54:27 then what's the mechanism for statehood? So we do have that mechanism. In 1980, I believe in 1994, was the most recent Quebec separation referendum. There was no legal process in place. It would have been, I guess, for lack of a better term, a wildcat referendum. The Canadian military was, if they voted yes, they were prepared to go in and lock them
Starting point is 00:54:49 down. They voted no by a very slim margin. And in the years, the aftermath of that that followed, there was something called the Clarity Act, which Parliament passed, which was, we critique it as a very overly onerous, very high hurdles, almost impossible hurdles to achieve separation for a province that wants to separate from Canada. But then after that, which was more important, there was something, the Supreme Court's reference case
Starting point is 00:55:16 on that, so the Supreme Court of Canada weighed in, and they were able to outline, it was referred to, and they were able to more clearly delineate the process by which separation would have to happen. So the first main hurdle is a very clear question. A clear question, do you want to leave Canada? And the Alberta Prosperity Project has come out and said, they've said, do you want to leave Canada to become our,
Starting point is 00:55:41 Alberta to leave Canada to become its own country? So here we have a very clear question that they're collecting the signatures for right now. The second part would be if a clear majority, so 50% plus one, was achieved in that referendum, there has to be that clear majority. And the third part would be negotiations between the seceding province and then the rest of Canada or the federal parliament. It would have to
Starting point is 00:56:07 be ratified by the federal parliament, a bunch of provinces. So yeah, not politically likely. I've always looked at it from the perspective of, well it wasn't like you guys in the states jumped through the English high court to get your... Now you had war, it was different. The difference this time though, why it's even different from Wexit from 2019 and 2020 is President Trump. President Trump has come out and said he wants Canada
Starting point is 00:56:35 to be the 51st state, split into two states probably. And it starts with Alberta. I think it was a month ago or so, there was an interview in the Oval Office with Brian, I can't remember, is Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend, I think it was a month ago or so there was an interview in the Oval Office with Brian, I can't remember, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend I think, who put it to President Trump said he had been speaking with officials in Canada and there's a pathway to separation. It starts in Alberta first, Saskatchewan second, and British Columbia third, and President Trump obviously responded yes and here's why it's good for a lot of different reasons. So the political unfairness that we would expect
Starting point is 00:57:10 if from Canada, if there was, there was a clear question, there's a clear question that seems to be out there right now, if there is a clear majority, 50% plus one, which we're just waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of the bad stuff that the federal government can do or is expected to do to Alberta. It could be a bottoming out of the price of oil. It could be 300% export tariffs on our oil and gas to you guys in the states, which they seem to rabidly want in Eastern Canada to be able to end this trade war.
Starting point is 00:57:47 That political unfairness that we would expect, we expect that we will get the 50% plus one because of what we expect Canada to do to Alberta. But now that we have President Trump and the US administration, and it isn't just President Trump, Marco, Secretary Rubio, others have been saying the same thing, that we do have a bigger batter kit on the block in our corner this time. When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
Starting point is 00:58:15 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard. When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill. When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner. Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer. So download the app and get delivery in as fast as 60 minutes. Plus, enjoy zero dollar delivery fees on your first three orders. Service fees exclusions and terms apply.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Instacart. Groceries that over-deliver. So very interesting. What sounds like teasing, maybe a joke, it sounds like Alberta and particularly your organization is taking it very seriously. And that there is a road to becoming, to statehood, quite literally. And again, not to be bought, not to be purchased,
Starting point is 00:59:00 not to be overtaken like some sort of invasion. It's you, the citizens of Alberta, electing to pull out of the union with, with the other Canadian provinces, and to then pursue the path to statehood. Very interesting. How do we keep up with you? Where do we go?
Starting point is 00:59:21 What sort of milestones should we look for as you move along here? Yeah, you can follow us on X at real America fund. If you go on the website there, there are social media links. We try to broaden now. We try not to centralize the movement because the movement itself is, I might be a recognized leader
Starting point is 00:59:42 or maybe one of the more prominent ones, especially on the 51st state side of things But it is so grassroots and I think that you're going to hear a lot more about this Both in Canada and the USA because there's also another major objective which is keeping our resources We've got the third or fourth largest oil reserves in the world out of the hands of the Communist Chinese party in their war machine They can't have access to this and so we have a common interest and a common objective. Yeah, I was thinking about how much oil drilling goes on in North Dakota.
Starting point is 01:00:12 We just go straight up from there into your province. And that is a massive amount of oil and gas. All right, my friend. Well, good to interesting. I'm fascinated. Real America Fund is where you go on X and we'll watch with great interest as you, it's just kind of a historically interesting movement.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So congratulations and Godspeed. Thank you Drew, really appreciate it. All right, Peter Downey everybody, thank you. The founder of Wexit America Fund, Real America Fund, you can follow them on X. And let me look at what you guys are doing on the Restream. I might, again, my computer's over here now. I apologize for looking away from the camera.
Starting point is 01:00:52 You guys, thank you. Oh, there's some Albertans on the thread here, I see you. They do, they're echoing what he says in terms of their desire to be the 51st state. So interesting, I mean, where that came out of nowhere desire to be the 51st state. So interesting. I mean, where that came out of nowhere, it seems like from this part of the country. Caleb, maybe do you want to put on the screen
Starting point is 01:01:13 upcoming guests here? We are at Thursday now, so next guest will be Tuesday. We're remaining at two o'clock. We will be with Clayton Bickert, writing a really good book. Li Mengyang, we're going to get her back in here and talk about the source of the virus. It's going to be a debate between Dr. Li Ming-Yang.
Starting point is 01:01:29 It's going to be a debate between Dr. Li Ming-Yang and Dr. Clayton Baker on that day. Really? Yeah, that's what Imola says, yeah. I'm not sure they're going to debate much. I think the debate will be about whether it was an intentional release that if Li Ming-Yang still whether it was an intentional release that if Li Meng
Starting point is 01:01:45 Yong still thinks it was an intentional viral release, but Pittenbaker is very up on the excesses of COVID and he understands the Chinese Communist Party's input into all of this. Naomi Wolf, Amy Alcon, Dr. Simone Gold, Anoushka Dijouzhu, Emily Hagen comes in to give us a report about All things Diddy. Mark Cienchisi is a famous, we've had him here a couple of times, a cognitive psychologist and physicist. Salty Cracker makes another command performance here
Starting point is 01:02:16 and Vibhek Menakee, she has a great new study out. Again, she's one that alerted us to the fact that certain vats of the vaccine was more likely to have as adverse events than other vats, so to speak. We're looking at, okay, I'm looking at Emily's idea about the debate here, the source of the virus. But my understanding is, Emily, that I know Ling Mengyuan believes it was an intentional,
Starting point is 01:02:46 maybe too intentional, release by the Chinese Communist Party or the People's Liberation Army. But I'm not sure he is far off of that. So I don't know what they're gonna be debating about. But I'm very interested, nonetheless. All right, everybody. We appreciate you being here. We appreciate our guests.
Starting point is 01:03:04 I hope you enjoyed our attempt at simulcasting of Eva Frye. I suggest, Caleb, I think We appreciate you being here. We appreciate our guests. I hope you enjoyed our attempt at cybillcasting with Viva Fry. I suggest, Caleb, I think we should try it again. I think it was a good effort. And we know what, in my end, it was great. It wasn't what was going out though, I guess. Yeah, no, so on our channels, it was all great, but I think there was some sort of a crossover
Starting point is 01:03:21 where it was coming in through our audio, but also probably Viva's mic at the same time. And when you cross audio channels like that, it makes everyone sound. They were saying, they were very entertained though on his side. Viva's fans thought it was the best.
Starting point is 01:03:34 They thought, oh, you sound like a chipmunk right now. This is keep this episode. I thank you, Viva's audience, our new friends. Let me just look around here. And if you're watching us, if you're watching us on Rumble, just remember, follow Drew's channel on Rumble. We do shows three to four days a week. We have really great guests all the time
Starting point is 01:03:54 and we have a lot of great ones coming up. So be sure to follow Drew. We're really, yeah, we've really got a lot of stuff going on here. I'm very proud of the show, what we're doing. And I've learned a lot talking to the people. I look forward to it every time we're having a show and Caleb does a great job producing it.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Susan does a great job of working on this. Emily Barsh does an extraordinary job of booking it and sort of setting up the conversation. So if you have suggestions, contact to drredood.com. We've always asked for feedback there if you guys want to bring stuff up. I can go over again at some point my prostate cancer. The prostate cancer thing is getting more complicated
Starting point is 01:04:29 as they're sort of slowly releasing records. And you have to start to wonder, we're getting into the territory of stupid or liar. This is Adam Corolla's thing, stupid or liar, that's it. So bad medicine or obfuscating or the reports, one or the other. And if you want to know why, with the evidences that he got bad care,
Starting point is 01:04:48 look at the outcome. He ends up with metastatic disease. That really doesn't have to happen these days. It can happen, but the president of the United States shouldn't be getting metastatic prostate cancer. And if indeed they stop screening him in 2014, as they allege, I would call that poor judgment. And also not keeping up on currently available data
Starting point is 01:05:07 and wisdom on the topic of PSA screening. That's an old controversy that's largely been settled in favor of yearly screening. So everybody, please get your PSA every year. Please, if you have a first degree relative, father, grandfather, brother with prostate cancer, start at age 40. All right, Caleb, anything else before I wrap it all up?
Starting point is 01:05:27 Something that you should mention, because this is something that I did not know all the way till now, is that you don't have to have your doctor stick your finger up your butt to get a prostate exam. I did not know there was a blood test. Caleb was very intrigued by this whole thing. So the digital rectal exam, we used to do with the PSA.
Starting point is 01:05:45 So it helps us sort of feel the surface of the prostate so we could feel things like the nodules that they claim they found at, oh, magically metastatic disease. And if they were still doing digital retinal exams on poor Joe Biden, again, suboptimal healthcare, suboptimal healthcare. So stupid or liar, stupid or liar.
Starting point is 01:06:00 That's what we got going here. Either they're not telling us what they did or they were giving him suboptimal healthcare. Either are possible, I don't know. I didn't take care of him. I do know a lot about prostate cancer. So I am the person to be talking about it. I'm both a patient, I'm a treating physician,
Starting point is 01:06:16 and I'm involved in research on prostate cancer. I am definitely somebody to be discussing this topic. So I'm happy to address it as it moves along here. But more than anything else, it is just a reminder of how they have obfuscated and lied. And I know if you saw Ron Johnson, Senator Ron Johnson yesterday talking about the, and Peter McCullough putting out the material
Starting point is 01:06:36 and James Thorpe about the vaccines and myocarditis and the extraordinary efforts to suppress that information. And I'm going to say, I'm going to predict something right now that the myocarditis story was sort of leaking out. If you remember the Israelis reported it, that Japan reported it, and then there was a VAERS report. And then I'm blanking on the kid's name that dropped dead on the football field.
Starting point is 01:07:02 Can you help me with that, Caleb? Is that Damar? Damar Hamlin? Damar Hamlin drops dead and that is where all talk stopped. All stopped immediately. He had commercial quarters, he had commercial quarters. That's it, that's it, that's it. And let's never forget that when he was asked about it,
Starting point is 01:07:19 Demar was, he went, I'm not going to talk about it. I was told not to talk about it. I bet he was. And I'd love to hear him talk about it now because that they did not recommend that people avoid physical activity after that vaccine, even if they had myocarditis and that could have killed a lot of people.
Starting point is 01:07:35 And they are, there's blood on their hands on that one. If that's indeed what happened. All right, quickly, I'm going to go look back at the chats. I appreciate it. That's all. I'd love to have Alberta as the 51st state. Wouldn't that be interesting? It seems like a beautiful country.
Starting point is 01:07:51 It's not where the Glacier National Park, the Canadian part of Glacier is. You go to Montana and then Alberta's, we'll put those parts of Glacier together. Everybody will see on Tuesday at- In the comments that if we get Alberta, they make you drive straight from the United States up to Alaska without passing through Canada,
Starting point is 01:08:09 I think geographically, if I know my geography. I don't know. I don't you have to go, ah! I think that might be true, right? Might be true. Because British Columbia doesn't go all the way up or does it? I'll have to fact check that.
Starting point is 01:08:24 They seemed excited about that possibility. If you just drive straight up and you stay America the whole way, America. Yep, America, it'll be very interesting if something like that were to happen. It sort of changes the whole world order. It's kind of wild. All right, everybody, thank you so much for being here.
Starting point is 01:08:38 We'll see you Tuesday at two o'clock. Ask Dr. Drew is produced by Caleb Nation and Susan Pinsky.
