Adam Carolla, and board-certified physician and addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Drew Pinsky. You're listening to The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Yeah, get it on, got to get on, Dr. Drew, got that religion. What's going on there, Drewski? So I am trying, as always, I always try to take other positions and opinions into consideration and try to understand other people's point of view.

And I'm trying to soften my position on lockdowns because I was so mortified that they did that to us. It seemed just so capricious, unnecessary, like ineffective. But I'm trying. And by the way, we now know that it was because our health officials were hoodwinked by the Chinese government, Chinese Communist Party in particular. And then the Lombardi government in Italy was the first to initiate lockdowns. And they did so not because they expected it to control COVID, at least one of the main sort of advocates for lockdown in Lombardy, but he rather wanted to bring Chinese-style government to Italy. That was his stated goal.

Yeah. All right. A couple of thoughts. But that's what we know is the – that's the situation around lockdowns. the situation around lockdowns. Yeah. I mean, you can find that clip of the gal who's going to replace Rochelle Walensky talking about how she decided to shut down football. Yeah.

She based it on. Calling her friend. Calling her friend. Little ladies who lunch. Destroying an economy. ladies who lunch destroying an economy. So here is my my take on it was I didn't have any problem with the lockdown initially. Didn't have real strong thoughts on it.

My first thought 10 seconds into this is this isn't hurting young people and they're hiding that from us so i was always everything was dubious for me because the the the first glance i got at their response to covid was they're lying to us about kids yeah and how this affects the younger population. Yeah. And I knew that eight days in. Yeah. And no one else seemed to give a shit. But my very first glance was, if this is just as they say it is, why are they manipulating shit and hiding things at the beginning of it? So I was like, everything was dubious after that point. Yeah. But then when they did the lockdown, I was like, I don't know anything about this.

And all right, stay home. Makes sense. I didn't care. God, I did. I was very disturbed by that. Well, I was like, so I quickly got disturbed is because it wasn't for the actual mandates. It was it immediately turned into anyone who defies us is going to be punished. And then it stopped having a sort of health flavor to it.

It had more of a punitive flavor to it and i'm very sensitive to the government punishing you know what i mean i particularly for arbitrary capricious things yeah like i hate it when the government you hear some story where they go general flynn didn't get busted the reason he's in prison it wasn't because of the whatever about the ukraine is about him lying to the government it's like so like somebody shows up and goes uh did you kill your wife and you go no i didn't kill my wife uh that day i was uh i was at the top golf in glendale hitting a bucket of balls. But really, I was with my girlfriend. And then later on, they go, well, he didn't kill his wife, but he lied to us.

He said he was at the Topgolf. And he was with his girlfriend. So now he's got to go to prison. Like, that's the shit I cannot stand about the government. But I don't even like it in small ways. Like, I don't like it when I'm trying to pull a permit and dealing with the city or whatever, and then some guy will go, listen, don't get on the wrong side.

They will punish you. Don't fuck with them. And it's like I don't want part of their job to be punitive. I just want to get the permit or not get the permit. I don't want to, based on they don't like my attitude now, now you're in trouble. I don't want to, based on, they don't like my attitude now. Now you're in trouble. I don't like that abuse. It's an abuse of power. And what happened

in California is it quickly went from a lockdown and a max mandate or whatever to a, are you defying us? Because it seems like you're defying us. What did that guy say from the Ram Stadium? We're watching you.

No, but every major blue city at least, Lori Lightfoot was up there, if I see you walking by the lake, you will be arrested. You will be put in jail if you're having a house party or whatever. And so for me,

I didn't process it through the lens of a global pandemic i was like who are these fucking low-level assholes that are basically which which i've seen i've seen it a lot it's a it's a it's a gene that more women have than men have and but a lot of people are this way which is i don't even know what we're arguing about anymore, but you're defying me and I'm going to fuck you up. And I'm like, the government has way too much power to be in that mode. That's how you get, you know, German types. But what they did with Tin Horn Flats is there's like we don't have any proof that outdoor dining is dangerous.

What they did with Tin Horn Flats is they were like, we don't have any proof that outdoor dining is dangerous. By the way, eight days earlier, Gavin Newsom was eating with 30 of his closest friends at the French Laundry and claiming it was outdoors when it wasn't outdoors, thus making outdoors, according to his argument, safe. They shut that business down because those guys were vocal. They're like, I don't think this is right. I think it's overreach. And I'm going to talk about it. It's like, oh, now. Now it's on.

Now we're going to fuck you up. So we'll just send the marshals over. They'll put a fence around your business. We'll put plywood in front of the doors. And then you guys will be out of business. You want to fuck with us again? And my thing was like, oh, this is bad. And what the fuck is everyone doing?

You're just going to fucking take it in the ass from these people? Stand up. We're in America. What are you doing? Nobody wanted to be 10 foreign flats. That's why they did it. It's a public beheading. I screamed a million times. If we all just do it, then they can't do anything about it.

But no one would fucking poke their head out. And so what I was doing is i was yelling at everyone calling them pussies and sheep and cowards what the fuck are you doing this is america stand up for yourself you fucking cowards so everyone's everyone got mad at me i wasn't mad at gavin newsom gavin newsom trudeau these fucking guys are doing what they're here to do. This is what they want to do. COVID was an opportunity for them to stretch their wings a little bit. Like Trudeau, Gavin Newsom, Lori Lightfoot, they looked at COVID as they just bought a

new Corvette and they've been kind of driving around in traffic in the city the whole time. And COVID was like an open stretch of road. They're like, I'm going to open this thing up. I'm going to see what this baby can do. The whole world of Pandemic Inc. They're ready to go. I'm going to see what it can do. I'm going to open it up.

I got some open highway here. It's got a V8 under the hood. It is my time trudeau knew some lori life and all the like to go oh now i can see what i can do yeah you know i mean now your governor friend in idaho or whatever was like i don't want to fucking tell people what to do yeah which is what i want yeah why did i become a governor to do that? Right. He literally told me, I had to sell my job. Right, but for some reason,

and I don't know when it turned into a blue thing, but for some reason they just went, Gretchen Whitmer and all these people are like, oh, I get to fucking tell people what to do now. No boating. You can boat, but no more than three people on the boat. You know what I mean?

This stuff, you can play tennis, but you have to kick the ball back to the thing, and you have to put your initials on the ball. I get to tell people what to do, which is why I was attracted to this job, but I didn't see the – but now I've got some open highway, and I'm going to unwind it. And my feeling is, all right, that's them doing what they are doing. Shouldn't we? You sheep who went along with it.

You're the real problem because Gavin Newsom is just doing what he wants to do. We have an opportunity to not be sheep and respond to it through the system. That's why I call everyone sheep and pussies and cowards. Why don't we vote these assholes out? I don't know. We're going to make the avenues some precedent. I don't know, but if you want to know where I was coming from, I looked at the government is doing what the government

is here to do. Not in Florida, not in Texas, but in California they're bulldozing outdoor skate parks. Good. Now, but in California, they're bulldozing outdoor skate parks. Good. Now, citizen of California, what are you doing about it? And all I got was a resounding shut the fuck up to me. And that's why I called everyone sheep.

They're still sheep. They're still pussies. You still have your title. Your mantle is a pussy because you fucking went along with all of it and you can't reclaim it. It can't be undone. Let's try to understand what their point of view was. Their point of view was, no, we are together in this. We're creating a community.

We're going to support each other. If no one's safe, if one isn't safe, no one's safe. They just wanted to get along. One isn't safe. No one is safe. They just wanted to get along. They did what every pussy, shitty citizen does in a situation like this historically. It was this one.

I just want to fucking get along. I don't want trouble. I don't want fucking trouble. That's fucking Tinhorn Flats is shut. I don't own Tinhorn Flats. I didn't even eat there, so who cares? I was so immediately disturbed that the world, that they could so easily, essentially in their own little whim, with their own little whims, and I don't want to overstate this, but maybe I should clarify what I mean by destroy the world. They just, in a stroke of their wand, the world doesn't exist well it was a combination between them being cowards and sheep and a weird new world digital world where you know if you said to my kids just stay home for two years yeah they go yeah okay the lights are just on and the mortgage is paid and and hey dad you just stay home too

where are you going yeah you know there's no like long gone are the days of like i'm packing up the mule and heading to the hills you're looking for gold you know like coming back you know like with with pelts or gold or ingots you know and i mean it's like there's no the whole world went digital everyone was you know discussing bitcoin and all this kind of stuff. And so the politicians, like school boards and – it's just stay home. It don't work. You don't need to work. Why is everyone working?

I know personally at least I craved immediately seeing people thriving, like running businesses and doing their thing. I immediately missed that. And then I missed social environments where people gather and do things. And I just missed it immediately.

Again, that is Angie, A-N-G-I.com. All I can say, remember when you and I were on the road all those years ago, and it was like 3 in the morning, and they pulled the fire alarm in the hotel? Yes. I stood in my room in my underpants. Yes, I remember. And I watched everyone file down to the lawn and stand out in the cold at 3 in the morning. Yeah. And I thought, I'm not doing that.

And I'm, that's a, and I'm so glad I'm so glad now. You know, my second thought was I could throw a chair through this window and probably break both legs, but I'll, I'll live because I'm only on the second or third floor.

Right. But I was like, they had a prom in this hotel. Right. And one of those fucking drunken kids pulled the fire alarm. Right. There is no fire. Yeah.

So I'm not taking my – I'll take my chances in the room. Yeah. That's exactly what I did with COVID. I was like, you fucking idiots all standing in your bathrobes on the lawn freezing. I'm in my room. And neither of us are suggesting they should have let it rip. That was not what we're saying. There should have been some sort of systematic evidence base reasonably based on objective science.

It's sad to protect old people and sick people. Yeah. And do whatever you can to do that, which they didn't do a very good job of. They did not. And everyone is welcome to do more if they wish. And alongside of this – Listen, they just – I just saw a picture of Lori Lightfoot for Halloween 2022 or whatever dressed up as a Clorox wipe. You know what I mean?

They wouldn't even give up on the notion that it wasn't being passed through touch. You know what I'm saying still still they still won't give it up they still talk about wiping everything down i've immediately the wipe my wipe stuff down phase yeah did not exist it wasn't 10 seconds it was literally oh my god look at her they're dressed as a clorox wipe and her deputy nut job Yenta is dressed as like some Purell or something. I don't know. I don't know what year this is. Are we talking about science?

I don't know. I don't even know what's going. My thing, Drew, is I have no idea what's going on. Didn't we figure out that it's not spread through touch? Yes. So then what are we doing it's not spread through touch? Yes. So then what are we doing? They can't let go of shit. They get things in their head, and the truth begs no alternative to their perceptions.

And it's all feeling-based. I got the feeling that everything is contaminated. I got to decontaminate everything. The pick is from 2020, to be fair to them. But we still knew October 2020. We knew it was a coronavirus. But you got to wipe everything down. That's all you need to know.

And by the way, again, I repeat this over and over again, the whole six feet thing was completely arbitrary based on nothing and achieved nothing. Well, they were talking about trick-or-treat restrictions. Ah, good. Where you could hand the food out. Nothing. And achieved nothing. Well, they were talking about trick-or-treat restrictions. Ah. Good. Where you could hand the food out. So let me tell you my white privilege.

I just could sit around and look at everyone and go, I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but I'm not doing it. You're insane. History will not be kind to you and these fucking retarded decisions. I'm now at the point when you know when people are like i've told we've laughed about this but did you hear that story about uh the uh high schoolers in hawaii that chased and harassed a pod of dolphins didn't happen don't care yeah what do you mean they're they're they're they harassed now they didn't

what do you mean they harassed no they didn't don't care the story last week I don't know the details I now have to do that 86 times a week every story

every story that's not how it happened and it doesn't doesn't care Ron DeSantis says no books you can't have a book in a library

I'm like first off who needs a book what 13 year old is checking a book out? Use your head. How would you ban? It's all on the internet.

It's all on your phone. What are you talking about? It's crazed. We're living in a crazed time. Now, all I do is go, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, is go, no, no, don't care. It's good to do it. You know, shoes, they say that bringing your shoes into the house brings disease.

Don't care. You got to clean the water bottle out because bacteria. Again, that's the part that I was so disturbed by was that those hysterical phenomenologies were being perpetrated by the press and just whipped into extraordinary fantasies. I mean, I showed you that clip from MSNBC with the two black women who are talking about the dangers of hair relaxer. It was an eight-minute segment. They did three minutes on hair relaxer. They did five minutes on getting your infant vaccinated. And that's five months old.

And I'm looking at this thing going, these two fucking dingbats have no idea. They don't know what they're saying. I mean, so do me or with the whole. Yes, I'd like to make vaccine mandates and lockdowns and vax passes and stuff. She doesn't know what she's talking about. Right. This is a gibbering, jabbering fool. And so the good news for me is I get to look at these nut jobs and go, I don't know what she's saying.

I'm not certainly not going to listen to her. Now, I don't know why she's a doctor and why she's on TV. That's scary. And there are probably other like-minded dingbats who are watching this. But I don't get it. Adam Schiff's going to take the podium. He's going to catch us up

on what's going on with Russian collusion. Are you going to listen to anything that comes out of his mouth? I don't. There are still people that believe that stuff. I don't. That's what's amazing. All right.

Let me tell you what else is amazing. Allegiance Gold heard of the digital dollar. Well, it's the Fed's latest scheme to control your money and privacy. They'll be the real owner of your digital dollars. And look no further than our friend Trudeau in Canada.

To hear a segment that is described as the health hazards to black women for hair relaxer, it's a seven and a half minute segment.

It was presented as we have a doctor to talk about this problem with the hair relaxer. That was three and a half minutes. Four minutes was get your infant vaccinated. Then you hear RFK going, you know, Big Pharma advertises so much on these platforms that, of course, they set the agenda. Yeah. And when you watch the segment, you go, yeah, it does kind of seem like that's what they're doing. That might be sort of a cognitive bias of some type, but it certainly looks concerning. Right?

I mean, you just got to play the last two minutes of this segment. This is a physician. Well, I do know that there's a whole world of people that are extremely enthusiastic about. Talking about. Vaccinating pregnant women and babies. Long term organ damage if you get COVID. I know. Listen, pediatricians are freaked out about that.

Oh, like Dr. Hotep, the fucking genius from Miami? That sack of shit. Well. Jesus Christ. They keep worrying about the brain. Yeah, and there are some. And like many serious illnesses, there's stuff like that. Long haulers turn out to be – what is it?

Well, but the problem is there's as much long hauler from – I don't know about as much, but we're seeing a lot of long haul from vaccine as well. Long haulers is going to go down with Epstein-Barr and chronic fatigue as nothing. Mark my words. I have very substantial people who have been taken out by the vaccine, really substantial. Oh, well, I'm not saying that that I'm talking about long haulers. Well, that's they get a long haul syndrome. They get. Oh, I'm not saying from the vaccine.

I'm saying from COVID. OK. All right. Let's just hear this. Right. You know, and it's one of those things that the anti-vax movement has done a fantastic job is stoking those fears. What we do know is that COVID-19 is linked to a number of different disease processes that we can already trace. You know, they say, well, you can't tell

the long-term consequences of the vaccine. Well, yes, we can. In this in due time, we've now been, I've got my vaccine back in December 2020, right? I was the first person at the University of Virginia. We've now been able to track persons like me to see what has happened. Has anything changed? But what we also know is that we're tracking people who have COVID-19, children and adults alike. And what we know is that one in every five persons who've been infected with COVID-19 now has a lingering disability where their organs, their heart, their lungs, their kidneys, their brain is no longer functioning in the same way that it was before they got infected with COVID-19. All right, pause it for a second. If it's one in five, that's 20% of the population,

and everyone has had COVID except for me on the planet. Right, so that's 60 million people should be. Long-term brain and organ function she said disability disability and they do this thing they go what we do know bitch you don't know any of this shit yeah because it didn't happen yeah but all right let's keep i can't by the way this is a segment on hair relaxing it's driving me crazy their heart their lungs their kidneys their brain is no longer functioning in the same way that it was before they got infected with COVID-19. And when you take that developing child

whose organs have not come to what it's going to be for the rest of their life, and you stress it out, you put it on that treadmill and say, I want you to sprint. What does that do for the longevity of their life, not only in the quantity of their life and whether or not they will live a full life as we hope to live, but the quality of their life. What are the complications associated with that inflammatory response? So weighing those options, you do not want to let your child get infected with a virus when we don't know what that virus can turn into. And we know the implications of other viral issues that we have to face. And I give them an example.

Hepatitis B. We knew that ran through in the 1970s. And now people have to have liver transplant because they have liver cancers related to that infection back then. Don't want to see that. We don't know what that's going to be for COVID-19. And we don't have to risk it because we have a vaccine. Jesus. All right. hang on. It's so important.

Hang on. It's so important to get your kids vaccinated. Don't take that down. You guys didn't understand this was propaganda? It's fucking pure propaganda. But I have a more

important question. Is the woman that's a physician, is she black? Yeah. She relaxes her hair. Yes. But she's on the show

to talk about the dangers of hair relaxers. She clearly uses hair relaxers. Listen, I tell all you dickheads, you got to watch TV. You have to watch TV. But they're always like, oh, I want to watch quality TV. I'm like, oh, I want to watch Succession. No. Watch shit TV.

That's where you learn what the dumb people are thinking. Don't you want to know what dumb people think? Because that's the majority. That's your audience. I watch dumb people TV to figure out what dumb people are saying. Yep. And watching. Because there's 200,000

dumb chicks watching this crazy bitch right now going, oh my god, yeah, I'm going to get my four-year-old vaccinated. Yes, it's how you learn. Wait, we'll just hear what the host says. It's good because we have a vaccine. It's so important

this information. I'm almost applauding over here. Dr. Ebony Hilton, thank you so much for helping us understand this. I hope that was helpful for the parents at home who are thinking through this. And I'm guessing the host has not been vaccinated. I don't know. She doesn't use the hair relaxer, but it's so important to know. Such important information.

The important information that they were wrong about. All of it. And we just sat around and consumed it. Idiots. Well, that's why I started talking to all the people who've been canceled. Because I figured I could learn something from those guys. There had to be something there. Why would they work so hard at canceling people?

Substantial people from extraordinary careers. They want shills, not people that provide alternative opinions. But not people with 30 and 40 years of experience. That's the thing that was left out of this. When you are running a propaganda campaign, a propaganda campaign has two arms. One is, let's get a bunch of dingbats like this to fill the airways and Sanjay Gupta to talk about horse pace. Let's get a bunch of bought and sold fucking shills to make our point.

That's one side. The other side is we must destroy anyone who has an alternative view because this is propaganda. If it's not propaganda. Then it's a conversation. Then it's a conversation. When the Super Bowl, I say it all the time, when the Super Bowl comes around every year, some guy goes, oh, the Chiefs over here. I think I like their chances. I'd give two and a half points to Philly because I don't think they're going to be able to stop. And then the other guy goes, I like their chances, but I'd give two and a half points to Philly

because I don't think they're going to be able to stop running. And then the other guy goes, I like that. But then we'll cancel them because there's no propaganda. Right. Propaganda means somebody needs to get canceled because he's an agitator. Because propaganda is

tin horn flats must go out of business because they've defied us and if that's what you do during propaganda you don't do it during a discussion and if you're not scared why aren't you just at least disgusted you should be scared or disgusted one of the two i will tell you i'll tell you the sad i'll tell you the sad reality at least in California. And amongst everyone who's in California. Pretty much. Pretty much. Sadly.

You know, geez, you think closing the beaches and closing tin horn flats is a good idea? No, I don't think it's a good idea. You think forcing people to get vaccinated? I don't think it's a good idea. Wait a minute, whose idea is it? Oh, it's your side.

Oh. Well, you know, look, I'm just... We have to do something. I don't have an opinion on it. We have to do something. I don't have an opinion. They do the best they can. They're doing what they can.

They're doing what they can do. That's all this. It's your side is doing this, so you don't have an opinion. Sheesh. That's what it is. The tribalism's got to stop. There's a handful of guys like Mark Garagos who are intellectually honest, which is his side that's doing it, and he's

defending tin horn flats. But that's few and far between. And that's the problem. Alright, and go to Amcrow.com for all the live shows, because I'm coming everywhere, yo. What do you got, Drew? DrDrew.com for all the podcasts, Dr. TV
