Starting point is 00:00:39 board certified physician and addiction medicine specialist doctor Drew Pinsky you're listening to the Adam and doctor Drew show yeah. Yeah, get it on, get it on the show. Get it on the show, get it on the show. What's right for the medicine specialist? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, what's going on? I wanna finish a little more on what we talked about
Starting point is 00:00:56 last show on RFK Jr. And just to kind of round out the conversation, I just wanna say that one of the big, legitimate concerns about his looking at the autism rates as causational by some talk center, some god knows what, out in the environment, people that have a legitimate pushback, they say, oh well it's how we've changed completely, how we characterize this condition, therefore how we identify it, therefore that pushes the rates up.
Starting point is 00:01:29 We're finding it more... Well, look, every woman statistically is now raped by the time her 19th birthday comes around because we changed the definition of rape. So you can do that. You can do that, but guess what? That would affect all women, not just young women, right? And so the same thing that is true of autism, if indeed it is the definition that changed everything, it should have changed autism rates across all age groups. But it did not.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's only, and it's consistently going up with people that are born more and more recently. So it's, look, it is going up. That's a fact. I used to give a talk at a major university that was a science, I don't want to name it, because Science Institute. But when I first gave, I would give a lecture to their incoming freshman class every year. And the first time I did it was probably about 20 years ago. And it'd be a couple of kids in the front that I could tell were like, these are autistic kids. And those two kids all of a
Starting point is 00:02:31 sudden became a row and became a whole front region of the class. I mean, I could see it. And they actually had to develop an autism program there to manage the symptomatology associated with it. And so I thought, well, that's interesting, you know, and we know autistic kids can be very bright, particularly in these science areas and things. So I saw it happen in real time, I tell you. Probably really came on. So for 18-year-old kids, I would say it went up in like 1998. That would be 2000.
Starting point is 00:03:04 1998, somewhere there. Well, look, either way. So 1980, what happened in 1980? RFK Jr. would like to see if we could figure this one out. Yeah, that's all. And then maybe correct it. And then Elon wants to clean up Social Security by getting a bunch of people
Starting point is 00:03:23 who shouldn't be on social security off social security, not jumping. Oz wants to clean up Medicare for the same reason. Right, right, right. Now I have no idea why, I mean, I understand there's a pushback on it as it pertains to a political pushback, which is a lot of people don't want to see them succeed.
Starting point is 00:03:47 So they sort of mislabel what it is they're doing. Once again, yeah, it will form a misinterpretation. What I can't get is all the 70-year-olds that are out, like the 70-year-old white people that are out there yelling and pushing and picketing, which is weird. Is it white people? There's mainly women, but quite a few men. But I'm wondering if the men are dragged along by the spouses or something.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I don't know, they seem equally as animated. And then also, I don't know what the drag along spouse people are, you know, like I'd just be like I'm not fucking going and I just wouldn't go right now and they could say whatever they wanted I'd just be like, I don't believe you know, I'm not down with this. I don't believe it I'm not gonna be part of it. Yeah, I'm not gonna support it. I don't know why listen You should be able to tell your spouse. I mean look I I did it through kovat I just told everyone they're fucking nuts, and I'm not going along with it
Starting point is 00:04:45 You know and everyone would yell at me to do whatever it is And I just want I'm not doing it because I'm not going along with it because I don't believe in it I'm not of I'm not a super high character guy. I'm just not into doing shit. That doesn't exist Yeah, I mean also you were you were it was a purpose which we should follow me We should all be not doing this so they can't get away with this. Yeah, it would have been nice. But I would never go to a fucking, I would never go to a woman's march.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I don't care how hot or how young or how sexy, whatever the partner was. I've never gone to a fucking million woman march because they're fucking retarded doing nothing. I don't know what they want. But there are men, we've seen a lot of it. Yeah, there's a lot of P-WIP guys out there. But these are 70 year olds, men and women,
Starting point is 00:05:30 and they're out in full force, and they're just standing around screaming all day, and I'm not sure exactly even what it is. I mean, you have a poster that says Elon Musk, and then there's a slashtroy. But I don't know how that translates into something. I get like a petition to recall Gavin Newsom or something. He's a horrible governor and he's ruining the state.
Starting point is 00:05:55 All right, I'll sign the petition, but I'm not heading out on Saturday. I just get sunstroke. Well, let's think about it. They must be, they must be listening to press where they are fed material that makes them delusional. Yes. And once delusional, they're not in reality and they're all upset. They're a constantly, you can't reason with them. Right, but here's what I'm not figuring. Here's what I can't figure out. And I agree, but you know, they get told they need to stand up and they need to fight and they need to be heard.
Starting point is 00:06:33 So they're gonna go out front of the Tesla factory in Abilene, Texas and just stand there all day yelling shit while the, but the conveyor belt never stops. Well, not only that, it takes people like me who was like, hmm, the Tesla looks nice to think to myself, I'm gonna get one. Well, it does drive a lot of people toward it, yeah. Cause I, you read his biography
Starting point is 00:07:00 and you get a real sense who the guy is. He's remarkable. There's a great, Andrew, I think I like the tweet, although it's a little funky sometimes to find the stuff I like, but I liked the tweet last night. I'm pretty sure it was a guy going down and he was filming one of these protests.
Starting point is 00:07:18 They're so weird and angry all the time. But to kind of, remember I always, I told you this 30 years ago. I said, just beneath this veneer of caring and flowers in the barrel... Hold the tape, but flowers in the barrel of the National Guardsmen is rage. Seething rage. I told you, I got back from Canada where I got a load of it. But I told you 30 years ago, this hippie shit's a facade, because I saw it in my mom. My mom was, oh, you know, meat is murder,
Starting point is 00:07:49 and hug a dolphin and everything, and right underneath it was just rage all the time. I think I've been sort of, I had a sense of that all along, but the part you taught me was their unwillingness to actually do anything for other people. I thought they would kind of go other way to do something, no, they would not. All they do is talk about other people, they never do anything for other people. I thought they would kind of go other way to do something. No, they would not. All they do is talk about other people.
Starting point is 00:08:07 They never do anything for other people. And then there's rage. But anyway, this guy with the mustache is trying to interview this woman. And the thing that's kind of funny about it is she's wearing a shirt with a gay flag on it. Sorry, we can play. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:21 That mustache, you look so gay. You like the mustache? Yeah. I look so gay. What's wrong with being gay? You have a gay pride shirt on. Nothing. Are you look so gay. You like the mustache? Yeah. You look, I look so gay. What's wrong with being gay? You have a gay pride shirt on. Nothing. Are you using that as an insult?
Starting point is 00:08:29 You're a proud boy, aren't you? Oh, wait, you just told me I look so gay. Is that an insult? No, it's not an insult. So then why did you feel compelled to tell me that? You have beautiful skin. Oh, thank you, ma'am. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:40 So this woman, this woman wearing a gay pride shirt just came up to tell me I look so gay. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Listen how many times she says this. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Fuck off. Fuck off. What is this?
Starting point is 00:08:58 Listen how many times she says take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Listen. We'll talk to you. Would you like to speak to us? Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Yeah. Listen, we'll talk to you. Would you like to speak to us? Fuck off. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Get him. He has the sunburned.
Starting point is 00:09:10 Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Fuck off. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's. Fascist. Take Trump's dick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's. Fascist. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Take Trump's stick out of your mouth. Yo, leave my, hey, hey, leave my cameraman alone, dude. All right. These are middle-aged people, plus. Yeah. She, by the way, she did the take Trump's stick
Starting point is 00:09:39 out of your mouth like another 71 times. Which I was marveling at when I was watching it. Fantastic. But she's wearing a gay pride shirt. Yeah. And I've said on many occasions, it's 2025, why is the biggest insult from the left saying suck a cock? Yeah. Why is that a pejorative? All they do is brag about all their family members who are gay and supporting the gay. You have to kind of do that. I mean, for the most part when you're gay.
Starting point is 00:10:13 If you're a gay man, anyway. Right. Why is that an insult in 2025 to someone who's wearing a gay, has a gay flag shirt on? It's fantastic. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. So nothing they do really comports with reality. No. These are people in their 50s
Starting point is 00:10:30 that are just standing around all day. I don't even know where they, I don't even know where they are. What's the guy's shirt? What's that all about? I don't know if it says Holes or Yoles or, there's too many different shirts. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 When we were growing up, there were like four shirts. Yeah. You get like a OP or Valsurf shirt or some Hang Ten or something, now everyone makes their own shirts. We don't even, and then of course, they always start pushing and agitating. They get aggressive, yeah. And the thing that's funny too,
Starting point is 00:11:00 is the people start walking away and they follow them and then they claim they're being assaulted, while they follow them. Like they're always, it's kind of like a chick way of fighting where you just go, I don't wanna fight. I didn't even come in. You came into the living room and started yelling at me. I don't wanna fight.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It's like, well, then why did you instigate this thing? You know what I'm saying? What is this? Is this idols? It's two men hugging? It looks like two men hugging and one's wearing a ski mask, and I don't know beyond that what's on this guy's shirt. Should we see if she says, get your mouth out of the way?
Starting point is 00:11:37 I trust you on that. I believe you. Did you hear her say it at least once? I heard it once. And then he just yells fascist, which I don't even know what it means. So here's what's going on, Drew. Tell me, what is going on?
Starting point is 00:11:53 I would say this about Pokemon. Ah, that's good. I would say why is this attractive? Why is this, you have playing cards with shitty whatever anime on it? you know that I get what a go-kart is young boy, yeah, and I get what a pogo stick is and I get what a Playboy or a penthouse magazine is like I get that I don't give it to Pokemon. Yeah, what is this? Yeah, why is this a thing? Yeah you want? You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:25 Yes. And this, standing in front of some street in Orange County on a sidewalk on a Saturday, just yelling fascist at people who drive by or ask you a question or something. What is satisfying about it? Why does it feel like something? Something, yeah. You know what I mean? And where we, what's the, this is back to getting things done where a lot of people don't seem to be able
Starting point is 00:12:47 to run a government where things get done. Same thing pertains to their demonstrations. Like what are we getting done here? What's the plan? Let's get something done. What do you want? What would you like? I really believe, I really believe.
Starting point is 00:13:00 In grievance, you wanna just grievance. You wanna have a grievance, that's it. I believe that... Here's what I believe. I spent the whole day here over the weekend, two days, just organizing stuff, just moving stuff around, putting this with that, cleaning out doing this and that and and I did It all Saturday, and then I woke up on Sunday, and I was like I'm coming back to shop
Starting point is 00:13:31 I'll finish my organizing because it felt Nourishing it was something yeah, it was something, but it wasn't Based on I want to get this done It was based on Something's compelling about it. No, I'll tell you what it is. I'll tell you what it is You told me about that syndrome where Sometimes people are compelled to like eat dirt. Yeah, right pica syndrome, right? Yeah, and they have to eat it
Starting point is 00:14:01 Are they're compelled to eat? Yes. Because there's something in the dirt. Yeah, iron. Iron, okay. So no one likes the taste of dirt. Yeah. And people don't like organizing a garage all day, pulling rusty stuff out of a thing, spraying it down with WD-40, putting it up on a shelf.
Starting point is 00:14:21 They don't like it, but there's a compulsion. Like it's a. They need it. And the weird thing about compulsions, even with pica, even if they don't like it, it feels good when they're doing it. I want to be careful about saying feels good. What I'm saying is a massage feels good to me, a steak and a martini feels good, you know, good conversation and a drink feels good. This isn't that, but it's a satiation.
Starting point is 00:14:53 And so I find myself like waking up the next day going, I gotta get over that shop, you know, and then it's like, relax, we'll go later. You know, it's like, I'm gonna meet you there. I'll get there a little later. You know, because I want to get this thing done and there's something that feels sane about it. Super sane. It's kind of the ultimate of sane.
Starting point is 00:15:16 It's like literally just sorting stuff all day. Okay, this is the opposite of that. Standing in front of the whatever Tesla dealer just yelling at shit holding cardboard or he had debts That's nothing so that feels like shit to me, but it feels good to them And they don't have what I have which is the sort Do you know what I'm saying there? They don't have any of this business. No, I guarantee they don't have any of that business and that business. And that business is what's missing, big time. And that's where the craziness is coming from. You know, and it, let's think about it this way in terms of, again, I'm always trying to make sense
Starting point is 00:15:56 of the historical sweep of these things. Also, but our own generation's contribution to all this. So much of the last 50 years has been about undoing things, like pushing back on the man. And part of that means kind of not doing much. You know what I mean? You're not going to do much because you don't want to be the man. Then you become the man. And all of a sudden we have an administration that's doing stuff. People are disoriented. That's the man again. I mean, I'm just thinking to myself, like, imagine Harry Truman doing stuff. I would expect that. You know what I mean? It's like, oh yeah, that's when they did stuff. John Franklin Roosevelt, he did a lot of stuff. Disrupted people, pissed them
Starting point is 00:16:41 off, but he did it. It's kind of the same thing again, isn't it? Doing stuff to the sort of lethargic is really disturbing to them. You're talking about your mom now. No, I'm thinking, I'm thinking of my roommate, John Gillingham, who took a hammer to all our dishes once. Because they needed to be cleaned or something.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I said maybe there were someone else's dishes and not his, whatever it was. But I remember very clearly, and I've told you this, we rented a house this, eight, I don't know, 700 square feet in the valley. I've lived in houses and have rented houses in the valley where you think to yourself, why would they build a house this small? Like, why? Why would they even do it? Like, as long as they're building a house, it's not much in materials just to add another 200 square feet like miniature My mom's house my dad's that a frame house. You see the picture of my grandparents house my grandparents
Starting point is 00:17:51 And I added a kitchen on they enclosed up a porch hallway or whatever that that house was been 450 square feet they're like trailers Yeah, yeah, they're like trailers on a slab. Yeah Yeah, yeah, they're like trailers on a slab. They're miniature, like one bathroom, one bedroom. Why are you building it? There's ample, there's enough land. It's weird, and also, you know, 2x4 is like nine cents when they built that thing. And it wasn't like a bunch of code and shit like that. You just build. You pay some Irish guy $2 an hour to build it for you.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Like, whoa, whoa. But anyway, I lived in a miniature house. I rented, and John at some point had all his stuff and it's all in the entry. When you open the front door, there it was, boxes and furniture and whatever. And then I, of course, being me, would say to him after week number three or something,
Starting point is 00:18:48 I went, John, what's the plan for all this stuff? Because it's really just taking up the whole living room, when we don't really have any room anyway. He's like, I'm gonna move that stuff over to my dad's place. I'm gonna put it in my dad's garage. And I was like, okay. And then like a week, two would go by,
Starting point is 00:19:04 you never fucking touch a thing. So then I said to him, like, well why don't I help you? I have a truck, why don't I help you? We'll put it in the truck, we'll take it to your dad's place. Today's not good, but maybe next week or something. And then at some point I just said, look, it's been a long time, let's just put it, we'll use my truck, let's just take it there,
Starting point is 00:19:23 and then he got pissed off. right? And and first off fuck you all I saw my whole adult life is me going Let me see if we can do this together and then getting agitated and pissed off about it, which is weird It's crazy. I told my ex-wife. Let's build a movie theater my hat and our house together. Let's do it together She's like now fuck off Okay, I didn't know all I didn't know everyone had an option just to tell people or asking for stuff to do Especially I was saying I will do it. Yeah, use my truck. I will help you move this stuff like now got agitated There's a lot of that. I'm kind of envious of it really like honestly I wish I could do that and I wish I could leave my shit. I guess it's high so I wish I could like Phil
Starting point is 00:20:04 Yes, it is. It's retarded high. It is high self-esteem. It's not based on Anything but or any merit but it's like I wish I could leave all my fucking boxes in In the front of a house I shared with somebody never touch them and not have any problem and then get pissed off at some point when they Come at me to do it. But yes, you will agitate people if you ask them if you want them to do stuff. Yeah, I don't think, yeah, Joe Biden didn't wanna do stuff. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:20:34 He didn't like stuff. He wanted to talk about poor people and brown people of color and then people being mistreated. Like that's what Karen Bass wants to do. She wants to talk about people being mistreated or not treated fairly I love their answer to to the fire situation is that we just need to get rid of these palm trees That's the problem here. So you're gonna take down all the fucking palm trees in Los Angeles. There is a great I Think I liked it Andrew there's a there is a good Biden clip when he got,
Starting point is 00:21:06 he did a speech recently and he got going on dignity. Oh boy. I love a dignity thing. Don't you love a dignity thing? No, I can't say I've noticed it. You haven't noticed the dignity thing? No, no, tell me. I've told you that people need to be treated with dignity
Starting point is 00:21:27 Yeah, yeah, I don't know when you go into an emergency room you need to be treated with dignity Yes, what do you mean dignity if you fucking fucked up or you just got shot or yes drunk and you got a car accident, right? What is the dignity? What are we even talking? I don't even know. I've even never in fact, er that into any exchange a TSA You know person behind the counter at the Starbucks, emergency room physician. I've never had dignity. Dignity's never... I just want my coffee. Let's see, another thing.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Another thing doesn't even occur to me. They say you're not treating me with... Oh, respect. That's the other one. All right. Well, take a quick break. We'll be right back with dignity right after this. Podcasting isn't just about talking.

Dignity goes down with respect for me, same thing. Yes, yeah, I don't, I don't, here's my whole thing. It's neither here nor there. Dignity, also dignity sounds like your royalty or something. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:23 But I've never thought I need somebody to treat me with dignity or respect. They treat me like shit all the time. I mean, then I don't think to myself in those... Well, I didn't really... I mean, like, I did Love Line for 10 years. Anyone treat me with dignity? Then it treated me like an asshole. But I got paid a thousand times more than them, and I just went home to my big house. I didn't give a fuck. I'm just thinking of... oh shit, what was that? That screener's name that had her feet up one day
Starting point is 00:24:47 and you said, hey, hey, you're at work. Or she was watching TV or something. You're not the boss of me, man. No, that was Tara, don't call me Tara. Tara, don't call me Tara, god damn it. Yes, that's who it was. Yeah, no, she was watching The Simpsons and laughing while I was trying to give her notes
Starting point is 00:25:01 in between shows. This is good. I mean, look, you guys wanna hear- Dignity, they try, and she wanted dignity. You young punks think you're on the vanguard of lazy employees, you are not. They're forefathers that paved the road for your- There were trailblazers.
Starting point is 00:25:20 There were trailblazers that came long before you lazy youngins showed up. They had to be very creative, very creative. You act like you invented lazy employees. There were Harriet Tubman and Martin Luther King and people that paved the road. And Taron El-Komi Tarr was one of them because it was way like... Lauren. Lauren was great. But in 19, I don't know, it must have been 1998.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I mean, we're coming on 30 years here. Yeah. And she was, during the show, during, in the middle of Love Line. Radio, live radio. During a commercial break, I went around out of the studio to come into the screeners room to tell them to stop screening
Starting point is 00:26:06 so many like abortion calls or something. And they had the TV on and they're watching The Simpsons. And so she was watching The Simpsons and I came around and I go, hey, also you have a limited time because it's a commercial break. It's a three minute break or something, yeah. Yeah, I said, listen, you're taking too many of these abortion calls, we need calls, they're a little more jovial and lighthearted. And then she pointed at the TV and started laughing.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And she was like, clearly just watching the TV and laughing at the Simpsons. And then I said to her, hey, I need you to pay attention when I'm talking to you in these short breaks for these phone calls. And she looked at me and she went, you're not my boss. And I said, you don't think I could get you fired? She went, no.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I was like, you don't think the star of a syndicated show could get the $9 an hour phone screen or fired? No. Yeah. I go, okay. So remember Daphne, remember there was someone named Tara, don't call me Tara. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:27:13 When you were like, God, you must've been, you may not even be born yet. She was out there doing the courageous work of insulting her boss. And Andrew, you were very, you were still in your footsie jammies with the flap on it when Tara, don't call me Tara, was dressing me down in the phone screen.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Tell them the Lauren story too, they probably haven't heard that one. It's a good one. Lauren's story's the best. She said, she was a junior producer. Right, assistant producer. She was assistant producer. We used to call her junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior, junior producer. Right, assistant producer. She was assistant producer. We used to call her junior, junior, junior, junior,
Starting point is 00:27:47 junior, junior, junior producer. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and she took over as producer for a week or something. I don't know what it was, but after about two years, I said to her, so Laura, what have you learned from working with me? Well, you actually said it much less directly. Like, well, what have you learned from working with me? Well, you actually said it much less directly. Like, what have you learned?
Starting point is 00:28:08 You learned anything from us, from me? And she learned a couple things. All right, let's see if I can get them all straight. She learned you didn't have to be educated. She learned it was who you know. Right. She learned you could say whatever you want and never be fired.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Ha ha. And get the big bucks. She learned you didn't have to prepare or something like that. Yeah. She had a couple other insulting ones. They were really good too. I can't tell you how hard it is.
Starting point is 00:28:40 You could treat anyone however you wanted and no one would ever fire you. It was essentially no talent, who you know, you can misbehave all you want, you make big bucks and you can't be fired. That's essentially what she said. That's what she learned from working with me. That's all she said, right? She said it with great seriousness. She gave it a good thought like well, yeah, so, you know, mm-hmm Yeah, I didn't know where that first off. I now you can say whatever you want and not get fired I'm assuming that's a little insight into what she's thinking which is I would have fired this guy. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:29:20 But I don't know why she would assume I couldn't get fired She was because you've been, you've been assuming everyone and not getting fired all this time. There must be a reason for it. And I'm not sure, I'm not sure where the who you know part came into. I have no idea. To that, she may have just tacked that on
Starting point is 00:29:36 as a little bonus or something. Or maybe, I don't know. Maybe she thought it was me that I brought you in or something or, you know. Yeah, it was about... Or Kimmel, maybe the Kimmel story. It was a list about seven super insulting things. Like not semi insulting.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Directly insulting. They were like, if she'd been saying... But there was no... There wasn't any positives. Wasn't something about being not funny or something too, even, or something crazy, I think. Somebody write an email to Giovanni. Oh, he'll have it. I don't know that he'll have it.
Starting point is 00:30:11 I feel like we've looked for it. Really? Well, he must. He must. Somebody reach out to Giovanni and let you see, not for now, but maybe for later. Well, because it didn't happen on the air. Oh, is that before we went on the air? Yeah, but we talked about it a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:27 We came back from it off the air and noted. Well, and we brought it up over the years many times. I know, but I think she said it off the air. Yeah, she said it off the air for sure. Which is actually funny because she wasn't trying to be funny. She was being honest. It was actually funny because she wasn't trying to be funny. She was being honest. It was funny. I remember she was sitting like right there and you were like over here, right?
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I wasn't being treated with dignity. You know what I mean? Or respect. Or respect. Yeah, but we must have come back from that break and then I laid right into it. My feeling was it was before the show started
Starting point is 00:31:05 oh either way as soon as the mic heated up I got into this and it was fresh on our mind yeah oh yeah so geo will find a tape of that oh do you have uh biden with dignity that's one thing I miss about biden one thing talking about dignity a lot simple Everyone, everyone deserves to be treated with dignity. Regardless of the standard, regardless of the economic system, regardless of who they are, making sure that more than 60 million Americans who are living with disabilities are treated with dignity is who we are as Americans. That's what it's about. He just said nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:49 And they clap. It's weird. We go back, play it again, because he's got a couple of words like society doesn't want to say, and there's another one he doesn't want to say, so he kind of fizzles. Slides through it, yeah. You can listen to it kick in about 10 seconds inside simple dignity everyone everyone deserves to be treated with dignity regardless of the standard regardless of economic issues regardless who they are situation yeah regardless of
Starting point is 00:32:16 the standards whatever that is the more than 60 million Americans who live with disabilities are treated with dignity hold Hold on, are there 60 million Americans with disabilities? That's a lot to be treating with dignity. If that's true, then there's something. I think I could do about 10 million, but I can't do 60. Yeah, that's a lot. All right, what did he say? By the way, did he say anything?
Starting point is 00:32:38 No, but he's been cashing in on that nonsense for decades. I know, I get what he, listen, I get what Yoko Ono is doing. Yeah. I get what she's doing. She wants to be an artist and a rock star, but she can't play a musical instrument or sing. That's what she's doing.
Starting point is 00:32:58 What are we doing, is my question. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, why don't we? I get what he's doing, He doesn't have anything to say. He doesn't care. He wants to get paid. And I always, by the way, if I repeated everything I said, like he said nothing in 30 seconds. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It's a lot of precious air time he's used up. He's a pro at it. Been doing it for a long time. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, I do not know what it means to be treated with dignity, nor do I care, because it's neither here nor there. I would rather, I think the most dignified way you could treat me is to be on time. It's not about treating me, it's about me talking to you about being late, or me sitting at a restaurant
Starting point is 00:33:44 waiting for you, or me sitting in the car waiting for you. If you wanna talk about dignity, that's the best thing you could do for me. I don't need anything else. And I'm not sure why anyone does. Again, it falls under the heading of, oh, sort of who cares. Yeah, it's not important.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I'm sorry, but it's just not. It's not, not only is it not important, it's not impactful at all. And also it's just not it's not not only is it not important. It's not impactful at all, right? And and also it's all for you to decide right and also opposed to let's get you some ramps for the wheelchair Let's get something that helps you. Let's get something whatever. I mean, so I don't expect the Person at the Starbucks behind the counter to be interested in my Really care people are not treating one another with respect and dignity.
Starting point is 00:34:27 They weren't brought up right. You know what I mean? There's a upbringing problem, not a America problem or a funding problem or a policy problem. This is like a social problem. We gotta fix our kids, teach them how to be good citizens, good engaged human beings. I am telling you, if you, one of the biggest sufferings
Starting point is 00:34:49 of the black community is being disrespected all the time, that is the big, big, that will cripple you if you need to be treated with respect. You know, when the cop pulls you over and needs to treat you with respect, or the guy on the subway train is disrespecting. That disrespect thing will fuck up your community. The entire Middle East is a shit show
Starting point is 00:35:14 because everyone's disrespecting everyone. It'll fuck you up. Don't give it up, just keep walking, who cares? They're not disrespecting you, they don't know you. Okay. Yeah, Port Charles, Florida. Or I should say Port Charlotte, Florida. Vasani's Italian steakhouse and theater.
