Chris McPadden, studio. Chris, look at this.

Look at this for Adam. Drew has brought in Adam's award for the Podcast Hall of Fame. It's beautiful. His induction into the Podcast Hall of Fame. Wow, that's wonderful. Interestingly, they let me carry it on the plane. I thought to myself, wow, if I really wanted to hurt somebody, I could feel how heavy this thing is.

Oh, yeah. You could go El Caban. El Caban with a sharp edge. I know, but you've got to use a plastic knife. Yeah, I know. It's, you know, I know. It's beautiful. Thank you.

Thanks for bringing that. I forgot to bring it last week, and he's been inducted officially. All right. I'm going to give that to you, Chris. I will take it, yeah. Thank you. All right. All right, right? You'll forget about the award. Me?

Yeah. Yeah, I did. I mean, I didn't know there was an award. Or maybe you told me there was an award, but I forgot about it. Yeah. Well, congratulations. I don't know what makes the cut in my brain, but cars, wheels.

I was talking about cars and wheels this morning. Of course you were. Yeah, wheels. I've collectively thought more about wheels and rims and tires than I've thought about any award collectively, historically. And I have, by the way, learned from watching Netflix docu-series about the F1 series,

how much tires figure into racing. I didn't realize it's a, it's a, like both a science and some sort of mystical intuition. It's a lot of strategy. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I have to think about it all the time. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, whenever I get the things where they go, you're doing this historic run group at Laguna Seca for the Rolex Historics, I go, what tires are going to – because they tell you what tires you run. You can't run what you want. Interesting.

That's to be historically correct. Wow. Bias-plied, Drew. All right. Love it. What do we got? All right, so let's start off with L.A. First off, there's a new report that L.A. General Medical Center

restrained patients in its psychiatric inpatient unit at the fourth highest rate of any such facility in the U.S., number one in California. Yeah. Let me guess why. Go ahead. Because they're dealing with more people who are so deteriorated living on the street that they have no option for their safety other than to restrain them some way or another.

I'm certain that's a good hospital. I'm certain they do their damnedest. Plus, is it as a percentage of admissions or as a total number of restraint uses? Because I bet you they see 10 times more completely destroyed psychiatric neuro cases than any other institution in the country. So I would say as a percentage, they probably are at the average. Yeah. Oh, it says rate.

So I don't know. The highest rate. So it could be. Could be. It could mean either. Reports identify 200 cases in which psychiatric inpatients were restrained for a total of 24 hours or more in a month. That's sad that it was for such long periods of time, but only 200 is sort of what my thought was, Sad that it was for such long periods of time, but only 200 is sort of what my thought was,

given how many they see and how we have allowed people to deteriorate in our streets. They are so deteriorated that you're desperate to try to do something to help them. Yeah, your friend Supervisor Catherine Barger said in a statement that the newly released figures reflect the systemic challenges and realities facing the staff echoing points raised by the health services department and it's a safety net facility right so all skid row yeah is heading over yeah everybody yeah i was driving home from the airport sunday night was traveling for i don't know eight nine hours. I was jonesing for a sandwich show. I was like looking for a, you know, Jersey Mike's or someplace like that in between the airport and Malibu, and there's some place in Venice. So I was driving there, just wazing it there,

you know, Sunday night, 8 o'clock at night or something, and I was thinking, Venice it there, you know, Sunday night, 8 o'clock at night or something. And I was thinking Venice is cool, you know, all these shops and restaurants and bars and stuff. And people walk everywhere. And then I was like, oh, yeah, but they have these homeless, this fucking homeless problem. And I pulled in front of the Jersey Mike's and there was a homeless dude standing in front of the glass, you know, outside. And he was just like screaming at the glass and screaming at the TV that was on on the inside and making kind of violent movements and stuff. And I'm like, it's raining outside.

I'm sitting in my car and I'm like, I got to get out and like get past this guy to get in. And he's very agitated and making these violent, sudden movements. And he's screaming at the whatever. And I'm like, I really this is a thing you have to put up with because the house across the street is two 2.7 million dollars but this guy who then at some point crossed the street and went to the other side of the street and started yelling at another through a window at another shop and also the fucking 19 year old has to work there you know what i mean like it's insane it is insane and it's it's also insane what people will sort of get used to and turn a blind eye to. And it's like, well, it's just a part of here. And what's insane is they think that guy is living his best life? Do they think he can't be helped?

I understand he doesn't want help. He's not in his right brain. No, he's not in his right brain. And he can be helped a lot. Maybe restored. He wasn't old. Oh, my God. That's old math. Yeah. yeah all right so here we are here

and and i guess um i think you spend the first um x amount of time with a problem trying to solve the problem and then at some point it becomes apparent that the people that are in charge of solving the problem are inept or bought or something, and then you just go, oh, well, then you have to leave. So where people are at California, and this is why you're hearing about all this, is they're at the phase, they're at the time to leave phase. The last decade was spent going could we elect somebody who would do something or could we fix this thing or could a city council that understands with these small businesses or something after a decade of that you go it's like you know it's like being married to a junkie it's like okay 10 years of trying to get the person

into rehab and then the 11th year, we've got to file for divorce. Yeah. Because we just can't. Yeah. And so everyone who leaves doesn't want to leave. That's the sad part. They're happy after they leave. And where are you going to go?

They would like it. That's what the governor would say. They would like it cleaned up and straightened out. But it's evidently not happening. And after a decade, I think people just go, no, time to leave. Trap it out. Did you see that high rise next to Crypto.com Arena? Make sure of the picture.

I didn't see that. I didn't notice it. 27 floors of an unfinished $1 billion development across the street from Crypto.com Arena has been tagged by graffiti artists. You can see it in the background there. And then Byron and I chatted. Oh, that one. I don't like the word artist in there. I don't like what we do with the unhoused and the undocumented dreamers, like illegal, homeless.

Yeah. Graffiti artists. And defacers of property. Yeah, well, oh my God. Yeah, so here's some drone footage of it. So yeah, each floor, just on the windows. Oh my God. You see aerial footage of the building show attacks

that just set the pace. Amen. Dank. I don't know what dank is. Basement talk? You're going to want to know. And then, yeah, so 40-story towers, part of development to include a hotel and luxury condos. Unfinished after the project stalled in 2019.

Police have arrested two men suspected to be part of a group that was doing this tagging. But they were arrested on suspicion of trespassing or released from custody. suspected to be part of a group that was part that was doing this tagging uh but they uh were rested on suspicion of trespassing or at least from custody i you know what i i immediately look right past the taggers and think oh this is the fault of the city officials because they've so destroyed downtown that nobody wants these buildings this isn't downtown this is oh didn't oh Oh, I thought Trevor Noah. Oh, I thought he was at Kodiak. Not Kodiak.

It's Kodak. He was downtown at Crypto. Oh, Staples. Okay. This is across the street from Staples. See, there's the. Oh, now I got it. I don't know why I'm so used to those award shows taking place across from Kimmel's theater

that I just placed it there. Because they feel like they're in a theater. Most of them are there. Okay, so yeah. Of course. I mean, look. Look, it's always... It looks LA. It's always the city officials. You know what? Maybe Emmy can find this, but

when I used to do stand-up a million years ago, I had all these slides, all these pictures. They're in some computer somewhere i don't know where but we haven't looked at them of the freeway yeah yeah there was a freeway overpass i don't think i ever discussed this with you it was over here in like sun valley or something down the five yeah kind of uh around burbank airport in five. And they're building this whole new cement overpass thing, a ramp. And they were tagging it as they were going.

So they would add, you know, every week they'd have to add on 12 linear feet of poured concrete, reinforced concrete, and then the taggers would catch up to the end, and then they would continue on wow yeah but what it was waiting for the story to end as they built the freeway it's like a bad cartoon is it what it looked like to me i mean because your brain is like processing things as if it was you know 1975 or 65 or something like that what it appeared to look like when you saw it is a freeway overpass that was being demolished oh yeah and they would take off yeah x amount of yours you didn't know the graffiti was going that way yeah yeah you thought it was 50 years old yeah and it was going

the other way yep there it is there it is yeah that's what it looks like. It's like they're tearing it down. It's new construction that is being tagged as it goes. They're good. We are so lost. I'm at a loss for words. So LA was trying to get rid

of the graffiti before the Grammys because of how many people are going to watch the Grammys. Karen Bass's office said it was aware of the issue, working with a city attorney to tackle it. But they said that they couldn't immediately clean the graffiti because of legal constraints relating to private property. Like they'd have to ask the guy owning the building if they might be able to do that, which he would enthusiastically endorse. I don't think we can fully absorb how fucking bat shit crazy this exchange was. As I've told both of you, if you want to know where the L.A. City Council, where they live in their heads, where their space is in their heads, like how they think, the motherfucking guy who runs that facility, and that's where the Lakers play, right, and all that.

I spent a considerable amount of time with that man. A boat ride to Catalina, plus a stay on Catalina and a boat ride back. Guy that runs the crypto center. Runs everything. Spoke to him considerably about it. About how it runs and... About everything.

Okay. Because I want to know. Yeah. Because he'll tell you. Yeah. He'll go, look, when you get like the Mexican bands in here, you got to have a lot more Tecate and you got to end earlier and you have a lot more security.

Because that's his job. You know what I mean? That's his job. You go, whoa, why is she talking shit? He's not talking shit. He's running a place. He's preparing. Yes.

Right. It's based on history. Right. And then when this group comes in, he needs more of that. And when other groups come in, he needs less of this. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's the reality.

When Chun-Yin gets there, they don't need so much Takate. Right. Yeah. Yes. When the Chinese dance group shows up, a little less Takate, a little less security. Beautiful billboards. Okay. But all his job is to know all of this stuff in advance.

Yeah. Right? Okay. So then I hit him with this question. I went to a Lakers game with my kid there a month ago. I stepped out of the place and was tripped over one of those hot dog carts. Pushed out there. He goes, oh, yeah?

Yeah. I go, these guys are all over your grounds. They're on your grounds. They're not on the street. They're right by the exit door. On your property. This is the guy with the bacon-wrapped hot dogs. Yeah.

He goes, oh, man. Takes his phone out. Pulls out a picture of one of those grills. Giant cockroach grilling with the hot dogs. Wow. That's extra. He goes, I hate it. I hate it.

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. They come in from, like, San Fernando in vans. It's gang shit. I mean, it's cartel shit. They do all women, or mostly women. At grilling. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. They run them in from the San Fernando Valley, drop them off, set them up. Women, because the cartels go, look, if you're going to cross the border, here, woman, here's an unaccompanied minor. Take this three-year-old with you and come across the border. I mean, that's how they do it, right? They figure it out. They take women. They bring them down from San Fernando.

They unload the van. They all set up. They know they're not going to get hassled. And then they take their, they wet their beak. And when I say wet their beak, they're probably like 75% of the money. Sure. That the guys, the women, poor women, they drive them back to their place in San Fernando and drop them off. You know?

He says, I hate it. It's horrible. I said, well, tell the city council. I don't want to get into trouble. I said, you can't tell the city council to clean this up on your property. No. No, I will run afoul of them. They will get angry and they will take it out.

I'm like, how would they take it out on you? You're the biggest taxpayer. You generate more money than anybody else in this city. They're going to take it out? Yes, they will. I said, okay, well, then you're not running. Then we're not running a city, right? Right.

Okay, we're done. Yeah. Okay, so it's time to. Go head down there and take a look. It's time to move then because they won't do this. He literally was worried that he was going to get into trouble if he brought it up. That's the guy who runs that facility. Did he have, just curious, did he have specifics about how they would hassle him?

Did he just be curious what that would be? No, he just knew that that wouldn't be good for him or that arena. Right. Councilwoman Nathia Ramon said hot dogs are too easy to cook. That's right. We should be blaming hot dogs. They would come down on him. Oh, my.

All right. Well, anyway, let's move on to some more national news here. Hang on. Before you do, I want to show you something. I want to talk about these G Defy shoes. Look at these things. I wore them today. I love them.

Carl Weathers died peacefully in his sleep. No reason given. We just found out Toby Keith has passed away. Oh, really? Yeah, stomach cancer.

Yeesh. I remember hearing that he had something, and it was all very secretive, if I remember right. Yeah. Yeah. He just announced it, I think, last year. And then King Charles III diagnosed with cancer. So I'm glad you brought this up, because I'm actually really bothered by the way the Royal family deals with their medical shit.

Sure. Cancer is not a condition. It's a category of hundreds of conditions. What kind of cancer does he have? They won't say, right. They mention some hypertrophy of his prostate. They said something about prostate. They said it's not prostate, but he was getting a procedure for benign prostate enlargement.

That's how they found it. Exactly. So they sort of alluded to prostate cancer, but said, it's not that. Literally, there are hundreds of cancers. What the fuck are we talking about? Then, poor Kate Middleton, my belief is that she's not letting anything out of what happened to her because of her kids. This business of she had abdominal surgery, that means nothing. That's a zero burger.

No meaning to that. There's, again, a thousand abdominal surgeries they could do. It means nothing. Now, a week in the hospital and a young woman after abdominal surgery, that is, uh-oh. They said it was more than a week. Seven to ten days, yeah. Is that what they said? Yeah, and I was like, oh, shit.

Abdominal surgery is three days. I've got a friend having a major chest surgery, and they're telling him four or five days. A week means, in my mind, chemo afterwards or something like that. Something else in addition or a massive surgery. And the only kinds of massive surgeries there are are cancer surgeries. So I am very, very worried about what's actually going on here. And the way the press allows it to be glossed over is disgusting. They report it just, oh, that's just abdominal surgery.

What are you going to do? Seven to 10 days in the hospital? Ho, ho, ho. Uh-oh. Yeah. Uh-oh. Yeah. There's something more going on.

Oh, boy. And then what is Charles' cancer? Is it one that's going to be gone in six months or one that he's going to live with for 10 years? They're very tight-lipped. Yeah. So both are miss completely, completely worthless stories at this point. Um,

some unfinished business that I may have something wrong. Might have some wrong info on, but, uh, people were tweeting me. I think it was this show where you cited something, I don't know, ivermectin or something.

And then Snopes like cited it. Was that on this we're talking about oh no snopes was with orny adams on the what was that story so anyway we i don't know anything about snopes but you said they're sort of middle of the road or something like that and then somebody tweeted i got like a hundred well here's the thing i almost any fact checker to me is bullshit. Just the fact that you became a fact checker, because people would do that to me all the time. It's like, you're wrong about COVID. Politico says, you know, it came from a wet market. And I'd be like, Politico said that?

Yeah, they have fact checkers. Okay. But I don't know who is a middle of the road fact checker. So people, people bank to differ. Nothing's middle of the road anymore. But your assessment is that they were middle or you thought they were middle. Right. But they're, maybe they're not.

Yeah. I mean, I know I've, I've, I've used Snopes for over a decade and it always felt like it was, it was fine. I think this is... Everyone just tweets the same story. It's like, hey, Biden was wearing his hard hat backwards, and Snopes said he wasn't. And that's what they're all saying. But everything else seemed fine, so I don't care.

I will still... I don't trust... Why would Snopes say that? I'm not religious to Snopes. Why would they say it? That's the question. I mean, it was pretty clear he was wearing it backwards, but why would Snopes say he wasn't?

Yeah, exactly. It feels motivated. What's the intention, right? I think the one people kept sending me was the lab leak theory versus the wet market. Oh, I didn't see that one. I'll look it up. I think Snopes, I hope you're sitting down, they said it came from the wet market. Oh, I'm shocked. That's what apparently people had sent to me.

But, yeah, you know, I guess the New World Order,'m shocked that's what apparently people had had sent to me but yeah i you know i guess the new world order i think that was it what you just put up there emmy but i think the new world order is is if somebody said to me give me a let me hear let me hear a fact checker let me i'll go i'll bring up three subjects and then you tell me where the fact checker came down on it and I'll tell you who they are. That's right. So this is what, I can't read it from here. It says the dumbest Snopes fact checked of all time. At least five

Snopes fact checkers including its founder pushed the disinfo that COVID-19 could not have originated from a lab. So I guess we know who Snopes is now. Only by this one story, that's all you need. Because nobody knew it.

Nobody knew. Well, I knew. It came from a lab because that makes more sense. But mainly just because everyone screamed it. Everyone has said it came from a lab. I was like, oh, it came from a lab. This is my, cop pulls you over. Can I check your trunk?

No, you may not. Okay, well, there's something in check your trunk no you may not okay well there's something in the trunk now that's that's how i know there's something in the trunk if you said yeah let me pop it yeah knock yourself out i may not want to look in the trunk if i was a cop i probably wouldn't even bother looking in the trunk if i said can i look in your trunk and the driver said yeah let me pop it here's a flashlight if you need some light. Then I'd go, you know what? We're fine. And I'd leave. It was Orny saying that airlines have been using DEI for a lot longer than people think.

That's what his argument was. Oh yeah, I couldn't remember. Is it true or false? According to Snopes. I don't know. I'm going to have to get multiple sources. You can always kind of go back and find something

where they declared they wanted some more diversity on the flight deck or something like that. But they're not, they weren't putting it into action like they're doing now. Now they're like, by the year 2030, we need half the pilots to be female

or black or whatever, which scares people as it should. All right. Let me tell you about our friend, Jordan Harbinger. You're about to hear a preview of the Jordan Harbinger show with a retired chef that somehow infiltrated the illicit North Korean arms trade. When people ask me, how is it to go to North Korea? North Korean arms trade. When people ask me, how is it to go to North Korea? Well, it's quite difficult to describe because you know you are being followed. And what do I say?

And what do I do? How do I react to things? I'm going to the U.S. to meet up with the CIA agent. One of the most important things he taught me was to be a perfect mole is that you have to be 95% yourself and then 5% mole. mole is that you have to be 95% yourself and then 5% mole. The last 5% is the one who observed and I was really good to networking with people without people actually know I was networking with them. Everything was recorded. So I just literally took the pants down on the whole regime exposing their weapons program. For more on how Ulrich the Mole, a Danish chef and family man, wound up working undercover in North Korea

to expose its illicit arms trade, check out episode 527 of The Jordan Harbinger Show. All right. What else we got, Chris Maxipata? All right. So there is, oh, we were talking about cancer. So this is a new study from Scotland. Mm-mm. I can't wait to hear So this is a new study from Scotland.

Mm-mm. I can't wait to hear what this is. Drew also, okay. Just because it's just so specific. Right, so it says that no cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated women following their HPV immunization at age 12 to 13 since the program started in 2008. In Scotland. In Scotland. Yeah.

That's why I was pushing that vaccine so hard. Right. It has potential, some potential side effects, very rare, but some stuff, like every treatment, and massively impactful on cervical cancer. Now, what people don't appreciate, cervical cancer is a fucking disaster. Yeah. If it gets away from you, you are dead. It's tough. It shouldn't happen.

It doesn't need to happen. Men should get it too. Men get it too. Men, I can't believe you haven't heard me say this, have had a massive increase in head and neck cancer. Michael Douglas has it from HPV. No, he got that from excessive cunnilingus. HPV from the cunnilingus. That's what he said. That's what it from HPV. No, he got that from cunnilingus. Excessive cunnilingus.

HPV from the cunnilingus. That's what he said. That's what the doctor told me. See, that's why I don't mess around. I don't eat nothing that gets up and leaves when I'm done. As a black dude on my JC football team

told me once. He went by the name Squeak. He said, I don't eat nothing that gets up and leaves when he's done. And I was like, preach. Church. Nothing left on his plate ever. Squeak was right. So, in any event, that's how men get it. And whatever genital comes in contact with your mouth, that's how you transmit HPV to the head and neck.

Right. And also anal cancers have been on the increase and some penile cancers. And that all can be prevented. So how do we get, how do we get. If you listen to Squeak. Yeah. How do we get the governments to push this out then? Get your kids HPV vaccinated.

They are pushed. They are pushed. No. It's pushed. Not nearly. Not in the sense that anyone in this building has ever heard about it. Oh, it was pushed way more. I was happy with the level of push. Let's the sense that anyone in this building has ever heard about it. Oh, it was pushed way more. I was happy with the level of push.

Let's put it that way. Byron, did you get your HPV vaccine? I did. Okay. Emmy? I have no idea. They didn't push it to the males in that age group, but now they're my kids. These are one of the many things they could put on the freeway sign versus click it or tick it.

And if you remember back when I was advocating for this strongly back in the day, they limited it to, was it 9 to 26 or something? You could have to 26. No, no, sorry, you can't get it. You're too late. It's a cutoff. Now you can get it. Oh, you can? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Any age. Essentially, I'm well into the 40s. Yeah. But we should be seeing signs for it when you walk into a Walgreens or a CVS. And by the way, unfortunately, because of all the COVID bullshit, it's undermined good vaccines like this.

Yep. All right, one more. All right, so let's see here. So, okay, so there's a doctor in Virginia who prescribed more than 500,000 opioid doses in less than two years. He had his conviction in a 40-year prison sentence thrown out by a federal appeals court on Friday because the jury instructions misstated the law.

The majority of the patients, they traveled hundreds of miles each way to see this guy who didn't accept insurance, collected more than $700,000 in cash and credit card payments before they raided his office. And understand, in his mind, there were lots of these guys out there. And they all were the pain equivalent of Deborah Birx and her relationship with lockdowns. These are evangelists. They're saving patients.

I don't think that's who he thought he was. I used to have to deal with these guys. I know, but not this guy. Look, there's a couple of stratas. There's the guy you're talking about, and then there's the cash-only guy who's just doing what he's doing. I don't think this guy was on a moral crusade. This seems like a cash business to him. Right.

So they said that the instructions are defective because jurors could have convicted him solely for acting outside the bounds of medical practice, but they required the defendant to knowingly or intentionally act in an unauthorized manner when that's where they got the loophole or the weird technicality. another country by any chance uh i don't think so his name his name is uh joel smithers okay joel keeps your hair yeah i mean i don't know that he didn't know he was doing wrong but there i he would be shocked how many people like that were out there at the time. No, I get it.

22,000 doses a month. Hey, man, they killed all my patients. They were killing them routinely. And some of them were quite legit and worked at universities and things. I agree, but I think you're grafting some of your own feelings on this guy. I think this guy was doing it for the cash.

Or I don't know where the cash only... Actually, most of them, the ones who were really doing this shit, made a lot more money than that. I'm sort of surprised that that's all he made, because the ones who were really doing the money part, they would charge insane amounts to drug addicts. This is a cost of living situation. Where was he?

West Virginia or something. Yeah, gas is $1.89 a gallon. He's living large out there. That's right. So it got so bad in Florida, you didn't have to even see the doctor. You just go, I want this, I want this, I want that. And they would pay anything, because you'd walk out, you'd sell half of it for a profit,

and then you'd take the rest. And then you'd come back tomorrow. Told you a million years ago, drug companies gotta like this. And you said, no, they don't. five times i told you that well they were not well the the one family was into it but they saw trouble coming they saw yeah i know but they're you know here's the problem whether whether it's drug companies or tiktok or really you know shitty governance with defunding the police

or open the border, whatever it is. Like, you know, if you talk to a lot of people and you go, why would you want the border open? They'd be like, well, these people will vote for us pretty soon. And it's like, why would this company want to give all this? Well, they do get paid per unit, you know what I mean? And then TikTok, some of these videos are just so destructive. Like. Well, they do get paid per unit. You know what I mean? And then TikTok. Some of these videos are just so destructive.

Like, yeah, they make money. You know, I mean, it's insidious and sad that money can get. The secondary game part gets everyone to just sort of do the wrong thing. And then we can't wrap our heads around it. But they're there to make money or get votes or what have you. Before, just one correction, too. I know you said this on ACS, but I'm sure you've been tweeted this. Val Kilmer is very much alive.

Oh, did I say he was dead? You said he was dead. Oh, he was very sick. Oh, sorry. He was sick when I saw his doc. Right. But he is alive. His cancer, right?

He probably saw that on his steps. He has had neck cancer. Doesn't he know what it is? His voice is very affected. He has a syndrome, a disease or something. It's not like they carved a lump out of his vocal cords or something. He had to plug an electric voice box in his trachea. He's had two tracheotomies.

I watch a very interesting doc on his live. It's probably about three years old now and i mistakenly just did the math which is this guy seemed to be in bad shape four years ago when they made the doc so i can't see him being around was the documentary top gun maverick because he he has cancer so that's that's another HPV thing. Oh, see? Yeah. Well, you should listen to Squeak.

In all likelihood. All right. Didn't know Squeak's first name or last name. You don't need to. His name is Squeak. And you know another guy named Squeak? Nope. All right. Well, then this is an unnecessary dance we're going into.
