Recorded live at Corolla One Studios with Adam Corolla 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, get it on. Dr. Drew's Ford technician. Ford technician. So we launched last show into things that were glimmers of hope, in my opinion. And I didn't get to tell you about the main source of my excitement, which I think I told you about personally, was a journal. I read three journals every week, which is doing the Journal of Medicine, Journal of American Medical Association, and Annals of Internal Medicine.

I think Annals is more out like that every month. And Annals, interestingly, it's sort of really dedicated to general internal medicine. And Annals, I noticed back when the mask studies were being done, the Danish mask study had a lot of energy around it. This was a couple of years ago now, a year and a half ago. And all of a sudden, it wasn't getting published. I heard it was going to be in the journal. It didn't get published. I heard it was going to be in JAMA.

It didn't get published. It got published in Annals of Internal Medicine. And lo and behold, negative study showed that masks didn't work. This was a lot of excitement. Can't we're going to show that masks work? Negative. Didn't work. uh they of course uh man harmful right well that's a whole separate issue yes but and so so rather than going well there's that they condemned animals for publishing a bad study reopened the data and reinterpret it in such a way that it kind of looked like maybe it worked a little bit.

So that's how that was going. And it's been kind of like that. That was the best medical literature was doing until this week. This current Annals has a publication about the use of fluvoxamine and budesamide. Worked very well in early COVID. Sanjay Gupta says it's donkey goo. And a vaccine article suggesting how we might do observational data better by essentially teaming a non-vaccinated and vaccinated cohort together

and moving it forward through time and examining it. I want to say this to Sanjay Gupta and fauci and rochelle walensky and uh barbara ferrer and newsome and um mayor garcetti and every big city mayor and every big city governor the state and uh every tv doctor on cnn and every expert had on. I hope it was worth it because your fucking reputation is now junk. I will not listen to anything Sanjay Gupta ever says again. I hope you enjoyed your time in the spotlight because you have made a fucking deal with the devil. You have damaged your reputation beyond repair. So I hope you enjoyed your 18 months of fame.

Because I used to look at, I was completely agnostic about a guy like Sanjay Gupta. I was like, that guy's a doctor. Let him get up there and talk. See what his take is on this stuff. I will no longer listen to what he has to say about anything. I will assume he's politicized, compromised about everything all the time, even if he's not. That's the beauty of ruining your reputation. So enjoy it, guys.

And by the way, I don't think half of America would listen to Fauci anymore. Correct. Literally. I think that's true. Literally half the country that he presides over as the expert in the land would not listen to Fauci if he spoke on something now. So I hope you enjoyed it. I hope it was worth it because you're damaged beyond repair. Well, Lenski, same thing, right?

Of course. It'll be interesting to see where she ends up. That'll be a kind of a tell, won't it? She'll end up for some pharmaceutical company or something. Correct. Of course. Yeah. Go ahead, sir. All right. she'll end up for some pharmaceutical correct or something correct of course yeah go ahead sir all right uh so you know again the point is it was it was i read it cover to cover because it was packed with questioning data i mean things that were like you couldn't even say six months

ago and all of a sudden they published a bunch of studies of studies. Oh, two monoclonal antibodies are looking good. Of course, even in this study, though, they go, yeah, but with all the variants of Omicron we have now, we can't tell if it's good. By the way, they've been using this in China for a long time to great effect. And so we should be embarrassed. We should be embarrassed that we haven't rolled this shit out faster. But, okay, we couldn't talk about it. By the way, along with the CDC and along with Fauci and company, I will now add the CIA and the FBI to my list of people I do not want to listen to anymore. I do not trust them anymore.

I will add the DOJ to that. I now think everyone's lying. I don't think you're alone. Nice job, fellas. Completely now think everyone's lying. I don't think you're alone. Nice job, fellas. Completely compromised yourself. Nice job. No one listens. Merrick Garland speaks. I'm like, oh, he's lying. He's talking

about white supremacy being, oh, that guy's lying. I mean, did you ever imagine growing up that way? The head of the FBI and the CIA and the Department of Justice and the CDC and all these folks speaking. And you're like, oh, they're lying. Well, now, you know, I have friends that were in the FBI for many years, and they used to just defend the FBI like crazy from this kind of criticism. And now they're like, well, it's a new generation.

They're not worth listening to right now. Be careful. It's really something to hear them change their tune. And I kept asking this one guy, why? Why do you think it happened? Well, his one theory is that people didn't spend enough time in the field and they were moved into administrative positions too quickly. And these people were interested in administrative positions, which is not why you should be going to the FBI. And by the way, there's a lot of politics in the administrative positioning. Yes.

They are tampering with elections. People will go, oh, that's strong. Look, there's two ways to tamper with an election. You can go physically hack into some sort of electronic voting machine. That's a sort of mechanical way to do it, almost an analog way to do it. Yeah, overtly. And then you can suppress and bury information that you possess. Which is covert.

Which is the covert part, which is what they did. Right. So that's election tampering. Although, New York Times is not bothered by it. No journalist seems particularly interested. Well, no. They're bothered by Trump talking about the election. Right.

They're not bothered by the CIA and the FBI tampering with the election. Which suggests to me that they're really not bothered by it. They're really bothered by what direction it goes. They're not fundamentally. It's like. Well, they're trying to save democracy. Right. Understood. What I'm saying is, is the.

The fan. Like the way they save democracy by undermining democracy. I know. That's how you say it. The the fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are you are you against bad calls by referees? And the answer is, who's to call on? Right.

That's basically how they roll. They say they're against bad referees making bad calls. Yes. They're not. They're against bad referees making bad calls against the Pittsburgh Steelers. So they would declare. They cheer when it's the Baltimore Ravens that get the bad call. They would declare that they're objective,

but their behavior is different. 100% different. All right, let's see if we want to take a call. Yeah, I do. Talk to Trey, 24, from Nashville. Trey? Hey, Adam. Hey, Drew.

How y'all doing? Hi, guys. I was in Nashville last week. Well, you know, this story is kind of Adam's fault here. So I'm a country music singer. I took a date to Adam's show about two years ago, and I have this little cousin who looks like Sonny Carolla. And so I had Adam knight him as the new man show boy. Oh, boy.

And this is after we took the kid out of Christian school in Colorado. And no, so actually what happened is the kid is one of the best behaved kids I've ever been around. He's 15 now, and he's just always had a conservative mind, an independent thinking mind, kind of a – he would have been no different 25 years ago from your male child. And the school system out in Colorado is getting pretty hostile, and we started messing with the school. He wanted a Joe Biden shirt licking ice cream saying poor kids are just as rich as white kids and started wearing that around and he i mean his

dad's just didn't do it and um but the school has actually been taking some pretty aggressive measures um and been doing some dirty things. For instance, they're excluding him out of, they'll specifically exclude him out of some certain talks about gender, about politics, about the Ukraine and things. And this kid's not an aggressor. He just sits in class at Wisecracks or whatever. But actually, there's been four or five instances now where my uncle has had to get on the phone with the school and have to litigate some nothing burger situation. And just last week, I've actually got quite a bit of experience with that school system. I know some of the people at the higher-ups there. And there was a school – basically, the kid was the higher-ups there. And there was a school shoot.

Basically, the kid was in class just last week, and the end of the year is approaching. And his assistant principal barges into his classroom with four police officers and tells the kid to stand up. And when my cousin reached for his AirPods, the cop put his hand on the gun and everything. And it turns out there was a, quote, anonymous tip that this kid brought a gun to school,

and he was going to shoot up the school. Yeah. And they made this humongous public spectacle out of pulling him out of class, you know, basically dragging him across. All right. Go ahead. Okay. So a lot of this stuff takes time to sort of catch on. And I don't mean catch on, but what I'm saying, I think Drew's experience and you've experienced and a lot of us experience as well.

I think Drew's experience and you've experienced and a lot of us experience as well. It's sort of like, you know, if your wife was putting a laxative in your protein shake, you know what I mean? And you take you a long time. Like you don't know what. No. Why would she? Yeah. This is not happening.

But I do have some stomach issues. You know what I mean? We didn't really know what was going on. We didn't know how weaponized these people were. We didn't know what ideologues they were. We didn't know how hard they bent to the left. I mean, COVID showed a lot of it. And also, I mean, there was that story out of Pennsylvania, I think it was. There was a transgender kid who raped a girl in a bathroom and they covered it up.

And the dad showed up at the school meeting to complain and they tackled him and dragged him out of there. I mean, we didn't know the extent of all this shit. Just how fucking nutty and how. Cuckoo. No, no, no, no. We didn't. We thought they were kind of live and let live. We didn't know how politicized and weaponized authoritarian people are and what they're willing to do.

They will do anything. they will fucking dox you they will call the police you know they will they will fuck your shit up we didn't know who they were sorry go ahead well they dox the kid they essentially dox the kid because then an email was sent out school-wide that an anonymous student was apprehended for suspicion of school shooting. And I mean, Adam, when it really comes down to it, this is about suppressing the conservative kid's voice in class. And actually, I got on the phone with the administrator. My uncle was on the phone. He buzzed me in. And I was actually stunned to hear, you know, we started hearing lies come out of the administrator over the phone.

And one of the points that I made to him is I said, do you realize that my theory really is that it's the end of the school year. They've had about two dozen issues with having calls home from, and there was no incident. And I think it's basically their way because it was an anonymous tip line, and he's the most beloved kid. All right, hold on. Okay, first things first. There's a few things we've learned. Yeah.

There is no live and let live or agree to disagree. Intolerance in the name of tolerance. They snap into action over whatever it is. And I've said they have a fundamental issue, these campuses. Their fundamental issue is they are 92% progressive, but their student body is only 40% progressive. They need to turn around the next 60%. Now, I'll give you a perfect example.

Do your business and then I'll give you a perfect example. I was just thinking about how they're just willing to go anywhere because they're doing good against evil. If you frame everything that way, Jesus. They're heroes.

So if all these teachers, administrators, faculty, let's just say they're all vegan. Do you think they could keep it to themselves? No. Do you think there's such a thing as you showing up with a ham sandwich and them not saying something about it? Certainly not more than a few. I mean, maybe they'd stop at some point, but boy, it'd be a lot. Well, that's the same thing.

Yeah. It's exactly the same thing. I think, though, when it comes to this case, I can't believe I'm saying this, but the courts have to settle this. You've got to go in and sue. you gotta you gotta go in and sue and you have to record write down everything that happens document it send them letters back telling you what you're gonna they're gonna do get an attorney he'll take it on uh some sort of contingency and just sue the shit out of them that's the only thing that they listen to now i know because they don't they don't govern themselves no so somebody has a authority from on highest come and go, you can't do that.

Contain yourself. Trey? Yeah. Hey, just one last question. So my uncle is actually, and Adam, he's your kind of guy, works out of a van 80 hours a week and has built a million-dollar company for himself just solo. He doesn't know what to do did he pull the kid he wants to sue the shit out of the school good um do it there's a million instances um documents he needs to document everything and then talk to an attorney

very simple that's it and i and the kid i mean the kid may want to it depends how evangelical you know the kid may want to stay there to kind of make a point. I don't know. But if the kid's suffering, then get him out. Yeah. I told Sonny, if you are not told to pull your mask up at least three times a day, you have failed me as a son. I need a constant barrage of people telling you at school to pull your mask up. I want it around your chin.

I want it dangling off one ear. I want them hassling you all day. I mean, if you took the amount of times Mike August and I were told to put our mask on on a commercial flight, it would be about 1,300. It wasn't four times. It was hundreds of times. Like, Mike, Mike, I mean, the person took a knee before we took off and started yelling at Mike. Took a knee and yelled at him, what don't you understand about putting your mask on?

Mike just sitting there with a sack of trail mix between his legs, eating the same sack of trail mix for a five-hour flight. We're on to you. I got yelled at so many times. And my greatest, one of my best COVID accomplishments beside the horse trail was I kept getting yelled at on the flight to pull the mask up. And I kept getting yelled at. And then when I left before the flight, you know, the thank you, have a nice day thing.

I made sure that mask was off as I passed by the person. And they went, your mask isn't up. And I just looked down and I just walked down the jetway. Now, look, people think I'm a dick. Look, people think I'm a dick. On the other hand, if we could have got 42% of Americans to do that, then this would have gone away immediately because they can't enforce anything. If somebody wants to go to Portland and burn down the federal building,

they just stand back and watch. There's nothing they can do when the shit goes down that way right all they have is compliance once once you don't comply there's nothing as a matter of fact they dropped the mask mandate when they realized not enough people would comply so then they got ahead of it because they didn't like the and the word was getting out, how pathetic it was, how little it worked. Yeah, that's why the compliance went so far down. They don't like the optics of the public that they rule over not being properly ruled over. It's interesting how the six feet thing seems to survive, and that was the most arbitrary of all the mandate ideas. The most arbitrary nonsense.

I see it in metal signs, like emblazoned. Six feet saves lives. Was I telling you I passed like a power station in my neighborhood? And it's just a huge plaque on the gate that nobody's ever in. Everybody, zero evidence. That was pulled out of thin air with no evidence, and there continues to be no evidence that it does anything, let alone efficacious, just anything except hassle people. That's really the walk around the chair three times part, the six-foot distance.

I guess the mask is part of that, too. Lamp post. Lamp post, okay. Yeah, or whatever. Whatever. foot distance i guess the mask is part of the lamppost lamppost okay yeah or whatever they don't they don't right look i it's the question is the febality oh what's this i think i made the word up i'm with you i'm your vex and feeble words febality of the public's mind so feeble. Feebality. They're not good at. You know, they're kind of weird.

So, you know, it's kind of interesting. Maybe have a take on this. Their minds, I know many people whose minds work very well in terms of them earning money. work very well in terms of them earning money. You know, they're good at it. And they're good at, you know, running the sort of family and commuting. And, you know, they lease a car. They make the payments.

They do the servicing on it. You know, I mean, like sort of of sober sort of responsible and educated people that don't really have big holes in their sort of motivational game they're not able to in terms of understanding motivation of their own or other people's well it always it always reminds me of the time mike august and i drove to to San Diego and argued the entire trip. We had like a two hour and 20 minute argument. I didn't mind and he didn't mind. It was the third person in the car

that reminded us. Did that third person jump out of the car? They wanted to. We screamed at each other for over two hours. But what I'm saying is Mike's a very capable guy, right? But the story goes that we were trying to recruit Tom Cruise for Newman documentary. And we'd like reached out to him.

And somebody printed some article saying that Tom Cruz, I don't know, stiff does. It was a bad guy or something. They like planted some hit piece, weird, some publication we'd never heard of,

you know, weird. And then Tom Cruz is publicist reached out to Mike and said, are you responsible for this hit piece? Because they knew we were trying to get Tom. Maybe it was connected somehow into us trying to get him to do our doc. Of course, we weren't. Mike's solution to this in order to have Curry favor with the cruise camp was he was going to

tell them, we did not plant this story at the publicist and we do not know what this publication is and we don't have any insiders working at it, but we can get it taken down from the publication. And I said, that makes us look like we put it up because it suggests we have a connection to the publication. So my answer is, I don't know what this is. I have nothing to do with it.

But not, we'll take care of it. Yeah. So the first argument, first half of the way, probably from Burbank to like San Juan Capistrano, was I kept saying they're accusing you, they're accusing us of planting this article. Mike would then say, they didn't accuse us of planting the article. They called us and wanted to know what we knew about it. I said, that's accusing you of planting the article. He then would say, they didn't accuse us. They called and want to know what we knew about this article. He then would say, they didn't accuse us. They called and want to know what we knew about this article. He assumes everyone else is as direct as he is. I said, that's publicist for you planted this article. That was the first hour and 10 minutes. And then

the next part was, the next part of the pilgrimage was, if you tell them we're going to take it down, they're going to think we put it up. His argument was why would they think we put it up just because we tell them we're going to take it down. Right. I said it implies you put it up because they think you put it up. He then went back to they didn't accuse us of putting it up. They asked what we knew about it. I want to jump out of the car already. I wasn't in the car.

He would never relinquish or whatever. Now, what I'm saying is, is there are plenty of people I knew vis-a-vis COVID that were perfectly smart and responsible and sober and educated and what, and weren't getting what was going on. Right. They weren't getting what was being done to them.

A lot of people. And they weren't like, yeah, they're going to bulldoze a skate park at the beach. You don't get what that is? You think that's science? You don't get the theme? By the way, why is Florida wide open and not having problems? Why is Disney World open and Disneyland is closed? You can't figure that shit out?

Back then, though, do you remember what that was like? They would point at Florida and go, no, no, super spreader everywhere. People are dying in Florida. I get it. But three weeks after all the proclamations of the super spreader events and life goes on, why are you not wising up? Yes. Here's what I'm saying. Why does every single proclamation that has to do with L.A. or California lean towards shutting people down and locking them up?

Why is there no other direction? Why is it only this? So each week there's a new piece of data that suggests we need to lock down harder. Does it seem like a theme is arising? And why don't you pick up on that theme? Why can't you understand the theme? Why don't you see what's unfolding in front of you? I think when they were in it, they signed up for that direction.

That's what they wanted. I don't think that they wanted it. I think it was their side doing it, and that's why they had to defend it. That's what I've learned. That's what I've learned. Maybe there's something interesting in there. Because a lot of these people will say to me now, like, oh, lockdown and COVID, that was a great time for me. And I think to myself oh my god

what's wrong with you but is there something wrong with us for us having experienced that thing as so awful it was awful mostly because I was looking at all the people's businesses getting closed and thinking this is horrific

and jobs being lost let's call ourselves heroes for a second. On a very personal level, getting paid to stay home for a few weeks and getting off the treadmill of constant touring and Southwest flights and bad hotels and stuff like that, it was a little relief for me. Like it was a little break that I would have never imposed upon myself. But I personally was sort of, I live in a big house, and I got a movie theater in it. And I could get off the treadmill for a couple of days and a couple of weeks and not have to go out and crisscross the country. Personally, it was fine.

I felt bad for the salons and the businesses and the restaurants and stuff like that. And I did not like being put upon that way, nor having the world shut down around me. I didn't like it. I agree with all that. down around me. I didn't like it. I agree with all that, but you and I, I was much more interested in the small businesses that were suffering and the kids that were suffering for not going to school. And you remember, I had two themes I said over and over again.

One was the businesses around Disneyland was the sort of symbol for me because the businesses around Disney world were completely thriving the businesses around disneyland everybody lost their job lost those businesses were just eviscerated never came back nobody gives a shit and then the other thing was the school thing remember i kept talking about how the ukrainian women heading into poland will always scream like it was kids have been out of school for two weeks. We're going to get them back in school. It's two weeks. So maybe it's all the narcissist. I don't know.

It bothered me. And that's why I went to Tin Horn Flats with Sonny and fried pickles. But it really bothered me. Maybe there's something wrong with us. I mean, that's my question. Was there something about, did we maybe go too far the other way or something? Because I was deeply troubled by all of it. It just was un-

We'll get into it in the next show. I agree. All right. You can go to amcrawl.com. Going to be in New York at Sony Hall. It's Friday and Saturday. Going to be a lot of great New York stand-ups. I may come in there one of those nights.
