You're listening to the Adam and Dr. Drew show. Yeah, get it on, got to get on it. Dr. Drew's board certified dick strap, and he's in Vegas, right? Yeah, man. Yes, I am.

I'm here with my VShred friends. We're doing some very cool stuff here. What's going on with you? I got a million things I want to talk about. Me too. Yeah. Let me start with, there's a couple things. I don't know, do you see the data on mental health and woke? That there's really, if you are woke,

you are very much more likely to be actually, not just a chick thinking male, but actually a chick, actually women, and have very high sort of negative affect rating scales, like towards mental health issues, which is interesting because you've been saying that for a long time and now it's showing up in the data. Yeah, I realize the era we're living in, if you could kind of distill it down to this thing, which happens to me quite frequently,

someone will say to me, I'm not feeling good today. I think I have a vitamin deficiency. And then I go, you're fine, let's go, let's do this. And then they go, why aren't you being more sympathetic to how I feel? And then I go, look, I would like to be, but I feel like if you get up and we get some exercise, this is gonna go away. And then they go, how come I can't have these feelings?

And I go, okay, listen, I know I'm supposed to say, are you okay, can I make you some tea, you should lay down, but I don't think that's gonna help you. Hey man, how about what you did to me with my panic attack many a long year ago, like 1998. Tell them that story. I am consistent. I will say that about. And it was helpful. It was helpful for me. That's the thing. I mean, I straightened my shit right out. Thank you, coach. I mean you used I straight my shit right out. Thank you coach well, what we're doing is we're creating a sort of

medical somewhat physical and psychological sort of enabling Spiral where everyone is on the spectrum and everyone has these things that are going on inside of them that never formally existed. Like the reason I would say to everyone, look, there's no way 40% of the kids in your class have a peanut allergy. It's just because it never existed or have Epstein-Barr virus or chronic fatigue syndrome or you know have some sort of toxins that need to be purged from their bodies or whatever this is it didn't exist. So that's... Oh no, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm going to push back really hard on this. You tell me if I'm

wrong. I would argue that it did exist and it was birthed by people like your mom in the 70s, we just didn't understand it was a virus that would fucking take over everything. Yeah, not literally a virus. It might as well be. But a virus of indulgence. Of the brain, yeah. Well, so it's sort of like, look, do you want to come into work today? No, not really. How are you feeling?

Okay. Might you have chronic fatigue? Yeah, that sounds good. I could possibly have that. Maybe long COVID. What about some long, oh, long haulers, COVID. Remember I announced that was bullshit? Yeah, it's more complicated than they're making it, but yes, you did announce it. You're right in the sense that it was a real thing for a few months after the illness, like any severe illness, you feel like shit for a while,

guess what? But there's weight, here's the part that people are not talking about that mark my words, you will hear about. The long COVID of one to two years duration that now exists is long vaccine reaction. It's not long COVID. It's long facts. And I see a lot of that.

Well, here's the problem these days. I don't know who has long COVID. I just like I don't know who has Epstein Barr virus or chronic fatigue syndrome. Just like I don't know who was sexually assaulted because everyone's version of this is weird and different. You know what I mean? Like Brendan Fraser was sexually assaulted at the Golden Globes banquet or something

by an eight year old guy wearing a three piece suit in a room with 300 other dudes. So was he sexually assaulted? You're wearing a suit. Yeah, yeah. But I was sexually assaulted with other guys at a cocktail party? Oh yeah.

And whenever I bring this stuff up, anyone around me goes, would you just believe him? I think he knows what he's talking about. I'm like, first off, idiots, you're going down a road. You're going down a weird, dicey, and bizarre road here that we can't really get back. We won't get back from. And at some point, your son is gonna be accused

of sexually assaulting Brendan Fraser at a cocktail party. And then what's your tune gonna be, bitch? Right. Do you know what I mean? You don't think this is gonna circle back on you or someone you know or your husband or your son at some point? You know what's interesting? I was always someone who thought the slippery slope was just a ridiculous argument. Then they come on, it's a slippery slope to fascism. But now, oh my god, I am now an advocate. I'm a convert. I see it. I'm thinking about the Supreme Court this week with

Katabji Brown saying that, you know, why do you even assault? The government has to be able to censor. I mean, it needs to censor dangerous material. I thought, oh my, holy crap. We are there. It's like that's why they put that people don't understand how the We are there. It's like that's why they put that people don't understand how the shifts the shifts occurred. I didn't understand and now the slippery slope is alive and well. Well, I mean, let's really just go case by case for Katanji Brown. Let's just go case by case for like the last 10 items you would have liked the government to censor or the government did censor and and it was pragmatic and accurate. Okay. And could have helped could have helped people. What hurt people was what that was addressing. So like closing schools or six feet, all this stuff.

Right, so I was saying open the schools, you were saying close the schools and six foot, yes, and Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. How about Hunter Biden's laptop and the government censor that? First explain to me what you got right before we then sign off on more censorship. I would love you to tell me that,

well, Joe Rogan was talking about a meteor coming toward the earth that was gonna be the size of Texas and it sent many of the cities into widespread panic that caused looting and then and everyone ran out of bottled water and toilet paper. Like you got to tell me what it is that should have been censored that caused all of this. So far all I got is Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine which are inert, don't cause anyone any harm. Then I got six foot discussions, then I got some vaccine efficacy discussions, I got some hunter laptop discussions, I got

some Russian collusion discussions. It seems to me you guys were wrong about all that. So it is precious that you're talking about censorship or the government being able to get involved. And I don't think, I think that, I think the problem is, is the chasm. I don't think these people were aware of what, they don't know that at 9-11 there was, sorry, 9-11, January 6th, there were FBI assets, plain clothes guys dressed up as Trump supporters on the premises.

They don't know that. They don't know that Trump asked Nancy Pelosi and company, would you like 10,000 National Guardsmen there days before to help protect the place? And then they said no. And then they interviewed guys that said, yeah, Trump said that. And then they said no, and then they interviewed guys that said, yeah, Trump said that, and then they erased that testimony.

Like they just don't know any of this stuff. They really have no idea. Now, part of it is they don't wanna know, and then the other part is, well, you don't wanna be labeled a conspiracy theorist, but why are you a conspiracy theorist if something happened? Right.

You know what I mean? Right, right. The day, you know, I interviewed Tony Bobolinski and it was pretty clear to me that the 100-byte laptop was real from day one. Okay, I was a conspiracy theorist or whatever, except for it turned out to be right. So why am I a conspiracy theorist or whatever, except for it turned out to be right. So why am I a conspiracy theorist?

Why aren't you just inaccurate? I happen to know things about January 6th that really destroy every point that the January 6th committee was trying to make. Now, but that's how it happened. So why am I conspiracy theorist? Well, they have new categories now too. You're a far right, MAGA extremist. They just call you an extremist for knowing this stuff, for knowing it. Right. Right. And then you guys destroyed a whole bunch of documents

involving January 6th before the Republicans took over the house. So does that seem a little fishy? You put together a committee to get to the bottom of this thing and then you didn't like some of the information you got, so then you destroyed it. Hmm. So it's, it's, so then you destroyed it. Hmm. So it's, they're really, they're interesting.

Which is fine, but nobody knows this. Well, right. Nobody has any idea of it. Well, to that point, the interesting question here overall is how long has this shipping going on? Mm-hmm. Is this just now that the scabs off, they pull the bandaid off, we see it now, or is this something new?

I can't tell. Well, I mean, Obama did weaponize the IRS to go after some of the folks, you know, the Tea Party or organizations that weren't fans of his. Look, Bush brought us the Patriot Act, you know what I mean? It's like, yeah, I don't know. I thought at the time, well, okay, the Patriot Act, let's keep the country safe. Yeah, me too. Me too. But that's how this shit gets going, right?

That's how the slippery slope goes. You don't think about it. And the founding fathers did think about it, thank God. They'd seen this happen before, many times. I'll tell you that the fundamental, the fundamental problem with the time we're living in, there's one sort of overarching fundamental issue that needs to be in place in order to, in order to move forward. And we're not gonna be able to move forward

if this fundamental sort of understanding thing isn't in place. What's that? I don't get it. Well, it's a, here's what it is. All right, you take the Trump situation in New York and he owes $475 million or something

and damages or whatever and he can't get a bond and now they're talking about seizing assets. They wanna take hotels and properties. That's what they wanna do. That's their goal. Okay, so here's the fundamental issue. You could hate Trump, and let's just say you had Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Ah, let's just say you hated Trump. And you're pro-Biden, and you're very anti-Trump, right? And then I say to you, look, Letitia James campaigned on going after Trump, which right then and there, would you like a DA for the biggest city in the world campaigning on going after a citizen with no priors, just elect me and I'll find something to take priors, just elect me and I'll find something to take Mark Arragus down. You know what I mean? A person. Remember the frame. That person is a dictator. I get it. I get it. But I am running on elect me. Saving the country. I'm saving the country. I will destroy this person. I will

find a crime. Not I will be presented a crime and adjudicated. I will find, I will go after this person. But Adam, that's back to my original question. Shut up. How much of that has already been going on? Listen to me. All right. I'm trying to tell you what the problem is.

All right. So you have a person that is running on, if you elect me, I'm gonna destroy somebody, a big real estate guy in this city. Then you get elected, then you come up with a case against the person. The case against the person is, you falsified the amounts that your assets were worth

in order to get favorable loans, right? Which really doesn't exist because anybody that's ever gotten a loan and I've been there, or I go, I'd like to borrow against this warehouse, and then the bank goes, all right, we'll send an appraiser over, and then the appraiser goes, it's worth $2 million, and I go, I think it's worth 3.5, and they go, well, we decided on two.

So we'll lend you X amount based on the $2 million value of the warehouse. They don't take your word for anything, obviously. Otherwise I just go, my warehouse is worth $20 million. Now give me $15 million. By the way, that's not a business, that's not how banks run, it's impossible. But that's the claim.

Then the claim is they based the value of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million when it's worth $400 million or something. Who knows how they came, look, it's pretty easy. Hop on Zillow, there's a couple of vacant lots to the right of Mar-a-Lago and to the left, and they want $100 million for a vacant lot that's one third the size of Mar-a-Lago, okay. So, but you've essentially said,

the warehouse that I'm sitting in, that's worth $3 million, you've essentially said it's worth $37,000 in your estimate of this. And then you moved forward off of that. Then there are no damages, all the banks got repaid. And you're representing the citizens of New York, except for none of them lost any money in this.

There's no damages and there's no victims, right? All right, now here's the big, and he should have to pay $475 million and we're gonna start seizing his New York assets and possibly Florida assets. I'm gonna put this guy out of business. Here's our problem. When you say this to my mom, she will say, good.

Yeah. Now we're fucked. Because a person needs to say, I don't like Trump, but I do not want to see us devolve into this for the next time maybe my guy gets elected and they flip the script on him. This is a dangerous road to go down. Plus, it's gonna stifle any business in New York City because who the hell's gonna buy property there

knowing that some unelected or elected official could just go after the person because they have a vendetta against them and seize their assets. I mean this is third world banana republic business here people. So yes I hate Trump and if he did something, you, if he really raped someone in a dressing room in Bloomingdale's in 1992 or something, I would like him prosecuted for that. This, however, seems like a politically motivated witch hunt.

And I just don't think that's a good direction to go as a nation. Now that I would be, that's fine, but they don't talk that way. And that's the problem. That's the main problem. Here's where they sort of get you. They'll go, well, you know, these types are pretty cagey. Like look at Al Capone. The only way we could get him was on taxes. And we have to do what we can do to get these guys that are so cagey. Right? Well, okay. But you did get Al Capone on taxes and we have to do what we can do to get these guys that are so cagey, right?

Well, okay, but you did get Al Capone on taxes. Right. You have to get him, then get Donald Trump on taxes. Not taking a loan from a bank and then repaying the loan. Right. That's not, we couldn't have got Al Capone on that is what I'm saying. Well, not only that, at least with tax evasion, there is a victim, which is the people of the United States.

Remember there was a story like, that was about eight months ago, who knows these days, but that was about eight months ago and it turned out Biden's daughter also owed the IRS money. But it was like $5,000.

You know, and I was like, yeah, who cares? Leave her alone or let her pay. That doesn't, neither here nor there. Send her a bill and that's that. Well, what I mean is Biden is constantly telling people, you gotta pay the IRS, you gotta pay your fair share. And his own daughter, his own daughter owes five grand. I've owed five grand a hundred times, so what?

It's in accounting issues, purely. Typically. Maybe she, look, maybe she tried to claim her home office is a workspace, but it was her kid's bedroom. It's five grand, who gives a fuck? Moving on. And you've never heard me bring it up, right? So that's a who cares, keep walking type story. Hunter Biden is not that story.

That's a completely different story. Now, when they do talk about stuff like, oh, Hunter Biden filled out his gun form and said he wasn't on drugs, but he was on drugs, but he bought a gun. I'm like, all right. Yeah, that's drug addict stuff. Every human being who's on drugs,

who fills a form out says I'm not on drugs. That's right. You know what what I mean I don't care now he's doing business in Ukraine and he's bringing home millions of bucks and there's 10% for the big guy oh okay that's that's not that's something else yeah they were saying so it scares it by the way what scares him about that that we always wonder why they go aren't going harder at this I worry that they're all engaged in shit like this, which is why they don't want their own stuff exposed. You know what I mean?

Yeah, no, no. That's what worries me. Yeah, it does make you wonder because there are this sort of Jim Jordans and the Rand Pauls and stuff who seem to be squeaky clean and they just go at, they go at everything. And everyone else who's older than 60

and has been in the swamp for a while is like, well, slow your roll a little bit there, son. Like, cause- Oh, I know. Yeah. So you kinda, it kinda makes you wonder. It really does. Well, could it go any other way?

I guess it's the- I don't know. I guess, yeah, I guess, you take, okay, you take the most powerful people in the world, not just in this country, you know, Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or whomever, right? You go, listen, you're the most powerful person in the world. Now, here's $281 a year.

You know what I mean? And they go, well, fuck that. You know what I mean? I'm the most powerful person in the world and lo and behold, Nancy Pelosi's net worth is $200 million even though she's worried about the children and she makes 250K a year before taxes. So we're not sure how that works.

Yeah. But could it, who wouldn't do what Joe Biden does? You have an Erdogan son, he's going off cutting deals all over the place, he's getting paid, you're breaking off a piece for yourself. Isn't that what politicians just do?

It seems that way. It just seems that way. And as you say, we've sort of set up a system, as Scott Adams always says, the system, it's sort of set up for this. It's almost though it's set up to not just allow it, but mandate it almost. Yeah, well, we're going to, you know,, Gavin Newsom's gonna mandate a $20 an hour minimum wage for all fast food in California, except for Panera Bread, because they bake their own bread. Right. Then you go, well, why are you carving out someone who has a, who bakes bread? How about that guy turns out to be a pretty big donor? Yeah. Oh, oh,

okay. Oh Oh, okay. Oh, that's how it works. Well, now that's how it works. They look out at you. What are you gonna do about it? Yeah, yeah. Well also why is the guy a donor? He's just giving away money Right. He doesn't want anything in return. He just wants to be a donor You know what I mean? Like oh the big donor. Oh Uh, they bought hunter biden's laptop. Oh, they bought Hunter Biden's laptop. Sorry, Hunter Biden's painting for 500K. And then they got a position in the administration.

Right. Yeah. There you go. Otherwise you just spent $500,000 for a shit painting. You know what I mean? For nothing. For nothing. Right. So that's not gonna do. I wanna swing back over to what I mean? For nothing. For nothing. Right. So that's not going to do.

I want to swing back over to what I opened with though, because I was talking about mental health and women and women that are woke. I remember five years ago talking to you and saying, I'd love somebody to find some footage of this and going, you know, I think I see something happening here where women are going way far in one direction and men are following in order to look good to the women. You know what I mean? Like, I really saw it felt that was happening. I'm going to be like you. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. You've definitely said that. Right. And there's two groups.

It's not only are we going that way to try to get laid to look good for the women, but it's the ones who are also in relationships who don't want the surus of pushing back against that. Right. So now- But it's basically like saying, three years ago, did you wanna speak out against COVID?

Because if you did, it was gonna cause a lot of issues in your life, professionally, personally, at home. So just shut the fuck up. Yep, absolutely. And by the way, that's how we got to where we were. Just a bunch of fucking henpecked pussies sitting around going, oh yeah, I don't want any fucking trouble.

Well, so men are now shifting. I'm wondering if some of that shift is the result of women going, where are the men? What's men don't stand up? They're all pussy, what's going on? I don't have a male anymore. And they're shifting accordingly. I wonder if, I don't have a clearer vision yet

of what that is, whether it's in response to women wanting something more masculine or whether they've just now able to stand up a little bit without destroying their home life or something. I don't know, what do you think? I think women are up there with the women of the city council of Minnesota that want to defund the police. You know what I mean?

They go, here's what we want. And then 10 minutes later, they get carjacked in front of their apartment and they go, what the hell's going on around here? I don't feel safe. I need a security detail. We need more cops. That's the whole point.

Women oftentimes say, here's what I feel, here's what I want, here's what we're doing. You think about defund the police, you know what I feel, here's what I want, here's what we're doing. You think about defund the police, you know what I mean? Some idiot says defund the police, and the next thing you know there's 2000 people to park in Minneapolis holding up signs, shouting about something, you know what I mean? And you're like, what are you guys shouting about?

You want no more police? You want less police? You want each policeman to get paid less? You're not talking about more training. You're talking about defunding. You know what I mean? So we're not talking about making an investment in policing. You're talking about defunding police.

And there's people just out there, crowded around, holding up signs. Then I don't know what the fuck they're talking about defunding police, and there's people just out there, crowded around, holding up signs, then I don't know what the fuck they're talking about. It's like, oh, we're having a million woman march in Los Angeles, in Madonna's there. And I've talked to women who go, like, what do you guys want? What are you marching for?

What are you talking about? And they're like, I don't know, we're just there. Do you know what I mean? Yes, I do know what you mean. It's been very distressing to watch, very. Well, it's sad. No, it's- Oh, it's kind of pathetic.

It's kind of pathetic. I find it pathetic. But you and I are like rational people, you know what I mean? We need reasons for things, we wanna solve problems, we wanna know what's going on. We let people in their emotions take over and start creating policy.

And that's what we did. We stood aside while crazy bitches made policy on COVID and defund the police and everything else. And we just stood next to them and watched. And then we got idiots like the guy from SoFi Stadium, who's a 65 year old dude with a cock and balls and get out there and yell at everybody about eating popcorn. Wait, what?

Cock and balls? What do you mean? You have hysterical chicks making retarded COVID policy and then indoctrinating dudes, Russ with a beard, a 60 year old dude with a beard and cock and balls goes up to the podium and starts lecturing people about masking up in between bites.

So it's a dumb- I'm just trying to figure out what does cock and balls have to do with it, okay? Dumb bitches weaponizing soft, weak dudes. With cock and balls. With the cock and balls, and now we got policy. Now we got policy. So we have crazy, crazy witchy poo, Barbara Ferrer,

makes policy, and then gets dumb fuck, cock and balls, and then gets dumb fuck, cock and balls, mayor, Garcetti, to then work and act the policy. So it's crazy bitch weaponizing dumb, soft, weak dudes. So I was watching Sid Croft the other day, as I often do, and he was saying that HR Puff and Stuff was only on the air for like two years And here we are making references to one of the main characters who nobody except you and me were no 40 years later. It was all for two years. Isn't that same weird to you?

Yeah, well when we come back for the next show, we'll get some Barbara Ferrer. I'll show you witchy poo These guys don't know which Alright, West Palm Beach. Wait a minute, yeah. That's coming up.
