My husband and I and all of our voting friends also voted for Trump. It's a shame that he rarely uses his word Bigly anymore. I wish he would say it more often again, because it must be an absolute pearl to the TDS sufferers.
Yes, I live in conservative Orange County, Huntington Beach, California. There are other counties in California that are conservative: San Diego, Ventura, and a few smaller counties in Northern California. One county in northeastern California actually wanted to secede from California. It couldn’t as it didn’t have enough population to qualify.
I lived in Los Angeles and San Diego for a period of time, in 2015. I loved it there. Then last year, 2023, over the summer, I visited the west coast for a month, with my wife. We were in San Francisco, L.A. and San Diego... and these pleces are unrecognizable. It wasn't great with beggars and homelessness back in 2015 but in 2023 I was absolutely floored. It was awful. Everywhere. Dirty. And the prices were insane. What a rapid degradation of quality of living. Awful.
I am a person who also visited those places, and thought they were amazing. Sad, and ashamed that the US would allow their country to spiral down. Really, US. What happened to community values.
I was a heroin addict for almost 20 yrs. If I ran into counselors that handed out drugs I never would have gotten sober. What California is doing is criminal. They should all be in jail. I have my lcdc and what they are doing goes well beyond harm reduction. It's morally and ethically wrong. For me, I wouldn't have gotten sober without prison
Correct, that's not at all what harm reduction looks like. They're enabling users while robbing them of their agency. At its core, it's ultimately a means of enslavement.
Drug court saved me. I live in Tennessee and the charges for hard drugs are stiff, without the looming consequences I'd still be using or dead. Celebrated 7 years clean last month!! Good for you on recovery...one day at time 🙏
They've wanted as many addicted as they can get, that's how all the black ops and secret agencies are paid for, through drug trafficking.... why else was Fentanyl pushed to doctors and allowed by the CDC? Obviously they don't want you clean or housed... which is why addiction is useful to your government and why the faux rehab programs are useless, while private wealth is made off of the government $$ and the desperate victims.
In Netherlands they ran a succesful program handing out free drug to the worst cases. We never cared about your recovery. We just wanted you to stop commiting crime to feed your addiction. It worked. How did the junky do ? Dunno don;t care. Yes i was one myself and stopped on my own so that excuse/comment you may lay to rest.
Drew is right. My wife and I left Arizona for Georgia last year and never looked back. We built a beautiful cabin in the woods and we are surrounded by family and great neighbors. I want no part of what I was seeing happen out West.
I am economically STUCK in California but through self imposed isolation and strict discernment of who I let anywhere near my life, I am surviving. Being surrounded by" know it all's" with petty power who have no expertise in anything but being nosy bureaucrats, I have been forced into this isolation. They drive me nuts, have pea brained ideas, cannot think critically and refuse to listen even to solid science. However, they sure know how to check boxes and shuffle papers.
My husband and I moved to Georgia and have our slice of heaven. We live on five lovely acres with a deep well, and good land to grow on. Although I'm over seventy, I am never fearful of going anywhere at night. Walking through a dark parking lot with my groceries causes no concern. If I have a heavy package to lift into my van, men magically appear, hoist the thing in, and melt away into the night even before I can say thanks. I have no fear of Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, or redneck White guys (with or without a pistol in their belt holster). We haven't locked our home since we arrived two years ago. In fact, I have no idea where the housekey is. I am seeing a big influx of wealthy folks these days. They have brand new mansions up long driveways to their sizeable acreage. I pray they aren't bringing the sickness of Socialism with them. There are so many fools that allow this illness to flourish in their Blue Cities full of hookers, criminals, and drug dealers. Please God they have learned the error of their arrogance.
I attended a MAHA event. The speakers were highly motivating but the real highlight of the experience was the crowd awareness of these topics. They were truly passionate about reforming the food and healthcare industry.
I tried the app called Yuka - I scan labels at the grocery store and it tells me what’s good and bad about it including additives etc and rates it 1-100. What an eye opener! Ps the icon is a carrot. Recommended!
Doesn't it put you in a good mood to go when you feel like it's the 4th of July ?? It's so much fun and I went to my first rally September 30th 2016 and it wasn't as big as the later rallies became.. nevertheless I live right in the middle of I'm pretty blue area in the city of Roanoke Virginia but in 2020 there were Biden signs everywhere and now I see far more Trump!!! I think some people have gotten a taste of the two administrations and some people have voted for Trump in 2016 but just got so tired of the chaos and the ugliness from the left and all the rioting and they thought that voting for Biden would make things better and no no it only makes things a lot worse... Something like 30% of people voted for Joe for that reason and I think that could be one reason in addition to ballot harvesting in cheating in certain districts that they did win... I got a weird feeling that despite Trump being so far ahead of Harris in Pennsylvania Tennessee and a lot of these swing States except Wisconsin where she's up about 1%, but CNN and some other news stations have told us we won't know who wins that day but damn it they knew in 2020 Joe won sometime around 1:30 in the morning even though Trump was way ahead in the votes!!! I went to sleep and I woke up 5 hours later and all of a sudden Joe Biden did have all these ballots so sometime between 1:30 in the morning and 6:30 people were counting and feeding paper ballots through a system.... Wherever they were scanning these boats over and over at one place was Fulton county.. Fulton county is a blue district and Joe would have won that because it is Democrat just like DeKalb and most of Atlanta Georgia... The thing is that when presidents are running how they win the state is the combination of overall total votes.. people could have brought in 20,000 or sew paper ballots in those suitcases they pulled out from underneath the tables (I have never seen tablecloths at areas where I go back much less anything that hangs to the floor to cover up what's underneath))... The poll workers lied and told the people that were working the toilet was broken and they had to close up and leave at 10:30.. oh yeah that was a lie because what these people didn't know is that there were cameras on the inside of of the facility 🙄😂 after everybody else left four or five people stayed back and they started pulling these big roller suitcases out from underneath the tables.. they were feeding those things through what appeared to look like a scanner all night long and then finally they left around 3:30 or 4:30 in am... The reason they made the announcement about Joe at 1:30 or so in the morning on Fox 1st of all places I don't know... I think it was probably because the other counties that they were waiting on boats to come in and were primarily always blue district counties... Nevertheless I was pretty pissed off and I went to bed and when I woke up and saw later that Joe got 81 million votes I simply couldn't believe it... Trump receives 74 million which was 12 million more than 2016 but he was also more popular in 2020... Joe got a lot of voters that just were sick of the drama and one of the things in a quiet down so they voted for him even though they really liked Trump better as a president, & that's dumb because Joe never won the Democratic presidential primary that year just like Harris didn't win this year See??? This is the second general election in a row in which the Democratic committee has not gone by the rules of how they're supposed to elect and select a presidential candidate.. Joe was not winning... Bernie Sanders with a head but everybody stopped voting in the primaries after super Tuesday the 1st of March because of covid-19 but Hillary Clinton was on Twitter telling everybody in mid-march "oh we can have this election this November and we can all vote by mail!".. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT TO FINISH THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY .. due to the circumstances as long as states that still needed to have primaries voted and they did so by mail and simply going to the polls and filling out paper ballots just to have something more legitimate than not finishing at all, they never finish them and finally when it was down to Biden and Bernie Sanders the Democratic party told Biden they would give him the nomination... YES!!! So Bernie dropped out and that left Biden standing so it would look really good for the Democratic party...what show was told before Bernie dropped out was that he could be the presidential candidate but he had to pick not just a woman of color but Obama said he had to pick Kamala... Obama has always had a thing for her. He wanted her to be president in 2020 but nobody liked her... When she was attorney general in California Obama said that she was the best looking attorney general in the United States..🙄 well whatever but all I know is when he came to the White House a couple years ago they were snubbing Joe but Harris and Obama were really cozy.... Goodness gracious the whole time they were standing there locked arm and arm together she was blowing and I thought for sure. "Maybe maybe they've had a thing at one time or maybe once " 😂😂 if she could have just been sucking up but I just got tickled and Joe was wandering around.. I'M ALMOST 57 AND THIS IS BY FAR BEEN THE WORST ADMINISTRATION AND I THOUGHT OBAMA'S WAS BAD BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE THAT REALLY STARTED BRINGING CULTURAL MARXISM WHAT CULTURE AND THE COMMUNISTS CRAP TO THE USA & GEORGE SOROS FUNDS IT. . And people have said George Soros hates communism and apparently he doesn't hate it at all because he is donating all this money to the elites and most of them are big time cultural marxists... What are they going to do?? They think that every white person is privileged and every Asian is too. That is simply not true and my concern is as a 57-year-old woman who got lupus when I was in my thirties rheumatoid arthritis and then in 2014 I just happened to herniate my back... I worked for another 4 years up until I had kidney failure... Thank God my kidneys are working 100% and I didn't have to have dialysis but I get really tired and I'm in a lot of pain a lot and if they do that communist thing where they start taking property social security and everything away from Caucasians and Asians etc then my ass is moving to Venezuela.... Europe is crazy and even though I would love to move to Italy it's part of the European Union and I can't have any parr
I worked in the medical field in a Special Chemistry laboratory. Through the years I worked in 3 laboratories over 30 years, the quality of doctors and Medical Technologists has been going downhill from 1972 to 2001. My mother attended and finished four nursing schools, University of Iowa Nursing School, John Hopkins Nursing School, University Nursing School and University of Montana Nursing School. My mother in the 1950 - 1962 while living with her, nutrition was the number 1 priority, organic foods raised in our garden. A certain amount is serving dairy and meat groups 5%. No processed meat, no processed preserves from grocery stores, only peanut butter. Our bread was home made, pickles home made, dried fruit and fruit leathers homemade, even fruit juices. I have been aggravated by the excessive usuage of persavitives, additives, over usuage of sugar and salt in corporate food industries. Insecticides and herbicides in farming. Organic farming is the best
Dr. Drew brought me out of my most darkest days into the light of sobriety. I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for the help and guidance of this man.
I had a series of doctors all tried to give me prozac plus various things which only made things worse and DREW promoted those pills like crazy via MTV.
Him and Adam were also big influences in terms of sexuality as a young person with Loveline back in the day. I'd have on the radio and be listening to their aadvice, Adam with more like the life advice plus humor and Drew as a doctor. Not that I was an insane kid, but like... interacitons with women were coming, and I'd say that show was a positive impact.
Many Jews came to the Americas from Amsterdam in the 1600's from Amsterdam due to the Dutch West Indies Company. In 1644, Gov. Stuyvesant tried to pass a law to ban Jews from the same liberties as other settlers in New Amsterdam. But his ordered was rescinded after pressure from the Dutch West Indies company. All other attempts to ban other religious groups also failed. Dutch names are still prominent in New York. Harlem, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Wall Street, Bowery, Coney Island, Flushing and many other areas have names that started out Dutch, but changed spelling over time.
It’s terrifying to live in California now. Wasn’t like this when we moved here in 2003. It’s infuriating and completely unacceptable! I’m still mortified that so many people vote for GN! There are no consequences for clearly illegal activities! Vote red 2024 ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
I was born and raised in California and I'm heartbroken over the ways in which it is devolving due to poor government decisions. I do not understand how or why people there are STILL voting Democrat...???
i live in NYS and we area almost as bad. i bought my house in 2009 and it wasnt nearly this bad, if NYS was this big of a dump i would have left the state then. it becomes much more difficult when you have a house that's half paid off and dont want to start over again. im a truck driver that hauls milk, when i deliver to the plant in rochester there is actual trash on the sidewalks. NYS cities are an embarrassment. we are one step away from having poop maps app on google play store.
I was born and raised on the central California coast, then went to UCLA, and got my degree in microbiology the same year Dr. Drew got his BA. We moved to Oregon in 1988, because the school system had been so messed up, after one illegal alien amnesty after another. Sadly, Portland has become even more insane than LA. It's really not safe to be Jewish in either city any more.
California is the perfect example on how majority of Americans don't want America to become. G. Nuscience and his comrades ruined it. You see they don't have to deal with the the addicted, mental health individuals or the homeless. The live far, far, far away on islands or billion dollar homes. The are rotten the m4rx1st elitist swine. John 3:16-20 Ephesians 6:12-13 Jude 1:1-25
Kamala's Dad is an emeritus professor of economics at Stanford, though he lives in Washington DC, but does not see Kamala. Kamala could have learned economics from her dad, but she lacked the interest and the mental abilities to learn it. Instead of vague statements about being a middle class kid (she doesn't mention her parents were both professors), she MIGHT have said her dad was an economist who taught her . . . BUT SHE DID NOT LEARN ECON FROM HIM. She did not learn biology from her mom. As the child of professors, she could have had her tuition covered at McGill U and at Stanford U. BUT she did not get into either school. She went to Howard U instead, an average school, and was not distinguished there. She went to law school at Hastings in SF, but was not distinguished in class rank, Order of Coif, or Law Review editorial staff. Then flunked the CA bar exam. KAMALA is NOT academically smart. She has a mediocre mind. Her published writings were PLAGIARIZED. She is a FAKE who hides behind her minority status to avoid criticism. Her parents had PhDs in substantive fields. She is not as smart as them.
They don’t look for people highly skilled and knowledgeable in their field . They look for ideologues to be leaders. I agree Vote Trump or it’s all over.
I've always liked Dr Drew, but this interview has given me an even greater appreciation. His ability to talk, as if he's just having a discussion with a friend, makes him so easy to listen to.
To me, it is mindblowing that any government agency would provide drugs and places to take those drugs. It is as if they want to keep these people in addiction rather than cure them.
You wouldn't want to see Canada :( Hello from dystopian Toronto, where a safe injection site once advertised a free chocolate bar for every 10 used sharps handed in.
Dr. Drew...you, Vinay Prasad and John Campbell kept me mentally sane with the information you provided via UA-cam during the insane California lockdowns...I am forever grateful!
@davidcollin1436. You could have seen several revered doctors & biochemists speak openly & courageously throughout the entire Covid 19 period on Stanford University Hoover Institute website, Laura Ingraham(nightly on Fox News) & others on UA-cam. There was actually a plethora of info re: the truth!
Don't forget we need to bring math, English, REAL history, and ESPECIALLY civics back into our schools. Stop teaching kids to take tests and be REAL teachers.
there is no such thing as real history. just different viewpoints from different sides. for example, the confederate states saw the civil war as northern aggression and teach it as such til today. in the war of independence from britain we are taught it was a unanimous sentiment. we are not taught that people were bullied and lives ruined to force support for the war.
Until that happens it's up to parents to teach those things. UA-cam documentary channels are what I used for the subjects I'm competent in (not maths).
@PorkChopAChunky i had a post with examples of how history is always just an opinion, a viewpoint from a side...but it went poof as usual. i'm still getting post participation notifications so my post is just invisible. it doesn't matter the topic or how civil i speak i'm not allowed to speak here. except to complain they won't let me speak.
Brand actually, but in the UK people make fun of him. It may be his previous persona, married briefly to Katy Perry, and known as a loud- mouth, which meant he was not taken seriously.
For a long time now, I've been really happy about Dr. Drew landing where he has politically. Open minded and searching for truth, even when it has a great social cost.
Thank you Winston for highlighting and giving important voices a platform. The more people that get exposed to alternative viewpoints. The more of us will wake up to the deception. That is being intentionally fed to us.
Great ducking video. Dr Drew has a great personality and intelligence. I'm glad to see that he is able to admit his wrongs. That is the sign of a good man.
Oh, no. No. Every name that is presented to the public is an actor playing a part. The two sides we see are really ONE side presented to give the illusion of choice.
They are democrats that have opened their eyes to the insanity that has taken place in the Democrat Party. ( the never Trump Republicans and the Democrat party are the ones that are colluding together. The Trump Republicans are the ones that are the outliers to the political elites. That’s why Bush , Cheney , Obama And Biden can be snuggled up to each other while Trump Republicans who are actually former Democrats with younger Republicans like Matt Gaetz , are viciously attacked constantly. Plus MSM has become a propaganda arm of the Democrat establishment and their old school Republican lap dogs. You can just look at the difference in policy and know THERE IS A CHOICE!!! Just don’t be deceived by old school labels. People are creating something new within the old label of Republican… you just have to watch who’s on board and who isn’t within the party.
Best episode yet! There's a reason why Dr. Drew has been a media star for so many decades. He's fascinating. And reasonable for people on all sides of the political spectrum.
Thank you for a wonderful interview. In the land of OZ, we found that the deinstitutionalisation of the 1980s led to an increase in the incareration rates. It was found that the cost of incacerating people @ $50,000 annually was cheaper than a mental health institution. It was also found that some people with mental health issues found prison safer than trying to make their way in the community so they would offend to be sent back to prison where they would get medical help, dentistry and daily supervision - their days were mapped out for them from dawn to dusk. As a sideline, we had a prison in North Queensland called Lotus Glen Correctional Centre. People (primarily Indigenous) called it Club Lotus because they would commit a crime ( with a short sentence), go to prison and recieve medical assistance, get medication, see a dentist, get to buy a new pair of Nike shoes etc and in six months they would be released back into the community ... until the next cycle.
When I worked CRISIS about 6 years ago I think the biggest problem was the short time the patients sent to hospitals with inpatient mental health only needed to stay 3 days and then they could sign themselves out. They were put on psychological medications, observed for 3 days to 2 weeks and then discharged to outpatient mental health. Problem was mostly it was a revolving. door because on medication they felt better and decided they didn't need the medication or counseling. They were back weeks later and sent back to the hospital, new medication and out again.
I was fat and kept getting so confused by what I should eat. Went to doctors and weight loss clinic. It took me awhile to finally say f them and follow the French diet. Now I am a healthy slim person.
Sunetra Gupta in the UK is our Jay Bhatachariya and was an original signatory (with him) of the Great Barrington Declaration which opposed covid policies and resisted lockdown and mandatory vaccination. Interestingly, although located in the US and UK respectively, both appear to have an Indian background.
My God, this is an incredible discussion. Goes a bit all over but in a good way. Learned something new about Lincoln. Thank you, Winston, for producing such timely and informative content.
We toured the Traverse City State hospital a few years back, the tour guy said that people were just put out into the streets. He said in the evening patients would return to the hospital because they had no where to go. I found that sad.
I’ve been a fan of Dr. Drew since the Loveline on KROQ. I’ve always admired his work. People were hard on him during the pandemic, it was awful. All he’s ever done is help others w/ addictions and counseling. His stance on the sh*t was balanced : take the sh*t if you had a pre-existing health condition or if you were of an older age. He’s just didn’t want people to panic. Pharmaceutical companies hate him for talking against the pushing of so many drugs on the market. That should tell you he’s not about the money.
You should have millions of subscribers, Winston. You make me proud to call Great Britain the Mother Country. Strength and honor, my brother. Strength and honor.
As a non-addict that just left a rescue mission, my circumstances were the exception and took 3 years of tragedy after tragedy to get there. And I promise anyone else in my position would have become an addict. The only reason I’m not even an alcoholic in these circumstances is because alcohol is too expensive to indulge in when my wife and daughter need that money.
@ It’s… more complicated than that… but I choose to believe you are right. I know my daughter thinks the world of me. But my wife and I are in a rough patch. Partially because of the tragedies over the last 3 years.
@ I wouldn’t say on the rocks. More like choppy waters that could become rocks if I’m the only one trying to turn the wheel. Been a problem my whole life though. It isn’t my wife’s fault no one ever listens when I am entirely correct.
As long as there is no legal reform that would require the proper medical authorities to take those cited in this discussion into protective custody even without consent, most of those on the street will voluntarily remain there. It’s a sticky issue, constitutionally.
Excellent discussion. Dr Drew has become a national treasure. He kept me sane during the Covid mania. I was skeptical of everything the government was telling us but I have no medical background and there were so few Drs allowed to speak. Thank goodness we had someone as trustworthy as Dr Drew to keep us from buying into the hysteria.
Dr. Drew! You’re awesome! I used to love your show on addiction. Rehab with Dr. Drew. You’re so legitimately empathetic and it’s so needed in our current culture. I pray you can get our governments to build a better treatment model.
Good interview, but I have to take issue with a few points Dr Drew makes. Firstly, I have never been keen on the use of the term 'disease' to describe addiction. Addiction is an affliction and a terrible one at that, but whilst you can observe the effects of it on a person, you cannot test for it, or detect it through blood panels or autopsy. I feel that calling it a disease muddies the waters and leads to confusion about what it actually is. Which brings me onto the second issue, which is that addiction and poor mental health are very strongly correlated. Speaking as someone who has struggled with unhealthy substance use (for what little my opinion is worth), particularly in times of high stress and/or wanting to escape my real-world problems, using drugs was not at its root a motivation issue. People use coping mechanisms for all sorts of life issues, and those may be drug based, or they could include compulsive sexual behaviour, gambling, work, or any other behaviour that alleviates the suffering felt by coming face to face (but not dealing with) the stressor. Whatever the coping mechanism, substance based or otherwise, it can easily become compulsive and habit forming, giving less and less reward for each indulgence and inevitably resulting in negative consequences, for health, finances, relationships and so on. And it becomes a vicious circle via a vis mental health, as the greater the suffering, the greater the need to relieve the suffering, the more the addictive behaviour is indulged in, which leads to further damage to mental health, and so on, and so on. I suppose I lean further towards the philosophy and approach of Dr Gabor Maté than that of Dr Drew, though I appreciate he is doing wonderful work and genuinely cares about helping people with such terrible afflictions.
Dr Drew is such an amazing person, he's helped me so much over the years as a drug addict. It was no surprise seeing him come from a place is reason during the pandemic.
When I worked at a youth addiction center, the people making suboxone told us there was no possibility of addiction. I can't tell you how many times we admitted a kid who was high on suboxone.
This was one of the best interviews I've seen on any UA-cam channel. Holding my attention on ANY topic for almost an hour and a half is evidence in itself, believe me! I'm sure not everyone agrees with me about these other interviewers: You're up there in the Lex Friedman Megyn Kelly stratosphere for me!
People came to America, not because they loved “freedom” but because they wanted land. They wanted something they could call their own and the home countries were already divided up amongst the wealthy class.
23:00. this Doctor speaks truth and is accurate about how to treat people with addictions and mental illness. Those suffering with these conditions/addictions when their disease has progressed too long. Their brain is now unable to have any insight or think critically. Their brain is diseased/damaged/ill !! The person cannot understand that they need help. If you saw a person on the street or in their home suffering from a festering wound, you would call the ambulance to have them treated despite their protests. These people have a "festering wound" in their brain. They need to be taken to hospital, yes, even against their will, so they can be treated to get their brain healed again. I was a psychosocial practitioner in our Province Mental Health Hospital for 24 years. It closed down in 2011. ALL the patients went into new mental health facilities throughout the province. Not one went directly onto the streets. Now the old institution uses 3 buildings that treat dual diagnosis. (mental health and addiction). I agree with the doctor, that the hospital/"institution" I worked in, was a caring, therapeutic, and beautiful place to heal and recover from Mental illness. It really is a shame that the government, who thought community care would work better, couldnt see into the future. Now we see that it was a big mistake to expect community care to have all the wonderful expertise that used to be in one large Mental Health Hospital, dispersed and diluted and fragmented into small care facilities. A bad mistake!
That heart of Dr Drews that hes so proud of is exactly why he will never fix homelessness. Let their families love them, leaders need to use rational thought only.
I just voted for Trump & make no apologies for it. I hope he wins bigly.
Okay, little Timmy. We do too! 🇺🇲✝️
My husband and I and all of our voting friends also voted for Trump. It's a shame that he rarely uses his word Bigly anymore. I wish he would say it more often again, because it must be an absolute pearl to the TDS sufferers.
Too bigly to rigly!
Yuge lines to vote. 🙏 for a Yuge Trump victory
Yes, I live in conservative Orange County, Huntington Beach, California. There are other counties in California that are conservative: San Diego, Ventura, and a few smaller counties in Northern California. One county in northeastern California actually wanted to secede from California. It couldn’t as it didn’t have enough population to qualify.
Don't take anything for granted. The election will be decided on election day. End the woke insanity. Get out and vote for Trump.
my wife and i voted early, for trump
I hope it's decided on election day but not if dems get to do what they always do!
God WILL have the final say!
Voted already, Trump👌
Trump - fight fight fight!
Winston - you deserve millions of viewers!! Really!! You make fantastic content. Thank you ✋️
It will happen.
He is absolutely brilliant.
He is fairly new to UA-cam, he'll get there
I lived in Los Angeles and San Diego for a period of time, in 2015. I loved it there. Then last year, 2023, over the summer, I visited the west coast for a month, with my wife. We were in San Francisco, L.A. and San Diego... and these pleces are unrecognizable. It wasn't great with beggars and homelessness back in 2015 but in 2023 I was absolutely floored. It was awful. Everywhere. Dirty. And the prices were insane. What a rapid degradation of quality of living. Awful.
Sadly, yes. San Diego and the S.D. County have become just another DRM-run(down) city and county. 😒
I am a person who also visited those places, and thought they were amazing. Sad, and ashamed that the US would allow their country to spiral down. Really, US. What happened to community values.
I am going to point my little finger at Gavin Newsome, who is not a leader, nor does he have integrity and definately not honesty.
Vote RED always
Tragic
I was a heroin addict for almost 20 yrs. If I ran into counselors that handed out drugs I never would have gotten sober. What California is doing is criminal. They should all be in jail. I have my lcdc and what they are doing goes well beyond harm reduction. It's morally and ethically wrong. For me, I wouldn't have gotten sober without prison
Correct, that's not at all what harm reduction looks like. They're enabling users while robbing them of their agency. At its core, it's ultimately a means of enslavement.

Congratulations on your sobriety!
Life is beautiful!
Drew is right. My wife and I left Arizona for Georgia last year and never looked back. We built a beautiful cabin in the woods and we are surrounded by family and great neighbors. I want no part of what I was seeing happen out West.
Welcome to southern hospitality and GREAT football!
I am economically STUCK in California but through self imposed isolation and strict discernment of who I let anywhere near my life, I am surviving. Being surrounded by" know it all's" with petty power who have no expertise in anything but being nosy bureaucrats, I have been forced into this isolation. They drive me nuts, have pea brained ideas, cannot think critically and refuse to listen even to solid science. However, they sure know how to check boxes and shuffle papers.
My husband and I moved to Georgia and have our slice of heaven. We live on five lovely acres with a deep well, and good land to grow on. Although I'm over seventy, I am never fearful of going anywhere at night. Walking through a dark parking lot with my groceries causes no concern. If I have a heavy package to lift into my van, men magically appear, hoist the thing in, and melt away into the night even before I can say thanks.
I have no fear of Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, or redneck White guys (with or without a pistol in their belt holster). We haven't locked our home since we arrived two years ago. In fact, I have no idea where the housekey is.
I am seeing a big influx of wealthy folks these days. They have brand new mansions up long driveways to their sizeable acreage. I pray they aren't bringing the sickness of Socialism with them. There are so many fools that allow this illness to flourish in their Blue Cities full of hookers, criminals, and drug dealers. Please God they have learned the error of their arrogance.
I attended a MAHA event. The speakers were highly motivating but the real highlight of the experience was the crowd awareness of these topics. They were truly passionate about reforming the food and healthcare industry.
I tried the app called Yuka - I scan labels at the grocery store and it tells me what’s good and bad about it including additives etc and rates it 1-100. What an eye opener! Ps the icon is a carrot. Recommended!
Make America hate again?
Doesn't it put you in a good mood to go when you feel like it's the 4th of July ?? It's so much fun and I went to my first rally September 30th 2016 and it wasn't as big as the later rallies became.. nevertheless I live right in the middle of I'm pretty blue area in the city of Roanoke Virginia but in 2020 there were Biden signs everywhere and now I see far more Trump!!! I think some people have gotten a taste of the two administrations and some people have voted for Trump in 2016 but just got so tired of the chaos and the ugliness from the left and all the rioting and they thought that voting for Biden would make things better and no no it only makes things a lot worse... Something like 30% of people voted for Joe for that reason and I think that could be one reason in addition to ballot harvesting in cheating in certain districts that they did win... I got a weird feeling that despite Trump being so far ahead of Harris in Pennsylvania Tennessee and a lot of these swing States except Wisconsin where she's up about 1%, but CNN and some other news stations have told us we won't know who wins that day but damn it they knew in 2020 Joe won sometime around 1:30 in the morning even though Trump was way ahead in the votes!!! I went to sleep and I woke up 5 hours later and all of a sudden Joe Biden did have all these ballots so sometime between 1:30 in the morning and 6:30 people were counting and feeding paper ballots through a system.... Wherever they were scanning these boats over and over at one place was Fulton county.. Fulton county is a blue district and Joe would have won that because it is Democrat just like DeKalb and most of Atlanta Georgia... The thing is that when presidents are running how they win the state is the combination of overall total votes.. people could have brought in 20,000 or sew paper ballots in those suitcases they pulled out from underneath the tables (I have never seen tablecloths at areas where I go back much less anything that hangs to the floor to cover up what's underneath))... The poll workers lied and told the people that were working the toilet was broken and they had to close up and leave at 10:30.. oh yeah that was a lie because what these people didn't know is that there were cameras on the inside of of the facility 🙄😂 after everybody else left four or five people stayed back and they started pulling these big roller suitcases out from underneath the tables.. they were feeding those things through what appeared to look like a scanner all night long and then finally they left around 3:30 or 4:30 in am... The reason they made the announcement about Joe at 1:30 or so in the morning on Fox 1st of all places I don't know... I think it was probably because the other counties that they were waiting on boats to come in and were primarily always blue district counties... Nevertheless I was pretty pissed off and I went to bed and when I woke up and saw later that Joe got 81 million votes I simply couldn't believe it... Trump receives 74 million which was 12 million more than 2016 but he was also more popular in 2020... Joe got a lot of voters that just were sick of the drama and one of the things in a quiet down so they voted for him even though they really liked Trump better as a president, & that's dumb because Joe never won the Democratic presidential primary that year just like Harris didn't win this year See??? This is the second general election in a row in which the Democratic committee has not gone by the rules of how they're supposed to elect and select a presidential candidate.. Joe was not winning... Bernie Sanders with a head but everybody stopped voting in the primaries after super Tuesday the 1st of March because of covid-19 but Hillary Clinton was on Twitter telling everybody in mid-march "oh we can have this election this November and we can all vote by mail!".. WHY DIDN'T THEY DO IT TO FINISH THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY .. due to the circumstances as long as states that still needed to have primaries voted and they did so by mail and simply going to the polls and filling out paper ballots just to have something more legitimate than not finishing at all, they never finish them and finally when it was down to Biden and Bernie Sanders the Democratic party told Biden they would give him the nomination... YES!!! So Bernie dropped out and that left Biden standing so it would look really good for the Democratic party...what show was told before Bernie dropped out was that he could be the presidential candidate but he had to pick not just a woman of color but Obama said he had to pick Kamala... Obama has always had a thing for her. He wanted her to be president in 2020 but nobody liked her... When she was attorney general in California Obama said that she was the best looking attorney general in the United States..🙄 well whatever but all I know is when he came to the White House a couple years ago they were snubbing Joe but Harris and Obama were really cozy.... Goodness gracious the whole time they were standing there locked arm and arm together she was blowing and I thought for sure. "Maybe maybe they've had a thing at one time or maybe once " 😂😂 if she could have just been sucking up but I just got tickled and Joe was wandering around..
I'M ALMOST 57 AND THIS IS BY FAR BEEN THE WORST ADMINISTRATION AND I THOUGHT OBAMA'S WAS BAD BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE THAT REALLY STARTED BRINGING CULTURAL MARXISM WHAT CULTURE AND THE COMMUNISTS CRAP TO THE USA & GEORGE SOROS FUNDS IT. . And people have said George Soros hates communism and apparently he doesn't hate it at all because he is donating all this money to the elites and most of them are big time cultural marxists... What are they going to do?? They think that every white person is privileged and every Asian is too. That is simply not true and my concern is as a 57-year-old woman who got lupus when I was in my thirties rheumatoid arthritis and then in 2014 I just happened to herniate my back... I worked for another 4 years up until I had kidney failure... Thank God my kidneys are working 100% and I didn't have to have dialysis but I get really tired and I'm in a lot of pain a lot and if they do that communist thing where they start taking property social security and everything away from Caucasians and Asians etc then my ass is moving to Venezuela.... Europe is crazy and even though I would love to move to Italy it's part of the European Union and I can't have any parr
Also we are having a trump rally this Saturday tomorrow in Salem Virginia and I only live 20 minutes away and I've got a ticket.
I worked in the medical field in a Special Chemistry laboratory. Through the years I worked in 3 laboratories over 30 years, the quality of doctors and Medical Technologists has been going downhill from 1972 to 2001.
My mother attended and finished four nursing schools, University of Iowa Nursing School, John Hopkins Nursing School, University Nursing School and University of Montana Nursing School.
My mother in the 1950 - 1962 while living with her, nutrition was the number 1 priority, organic foods raised in our garden. A certain amount is serving dairy and meat groups 5%. No processed meat, no processed preserves from grocery stores, only peanut butter. Our bread was home made, pickles home made, dried fruit and fruit leathers homemade, even fruit juices.
I have been aggravated by the excessive usuage of persavitives, additives, over usuage of sugar and salt in corporate food industries. Insecticides and herbicides in farming. Organic farming is the best
Dr. Drew brought me out of my most darkest days into the light of sobriety. I wouldn’t be where I am today if not for the help and guidance of this man.
That’s awesome. Just by watching him, or did he personally advise you?
God bless you. Prayers that you stay clean & healthy.
I had a series of doctors all tried to give me prozac plus various things which only made things worse and DREW promoted those pills like crazy via MTV.
Him and Adam were also big influences in terms of sexuality as a young person with Loveline back in the day. I'd have on the radio and be listening to their aadvice, Adam with more like the life advice plus humor and Drew as a doctor. Not that I was an insane kid, but like... interacitons with women were coming, and I'd say that show was a positive impact.
Many Jews came to the Americas from Amsterdam in the 1600's from Amsterdam due to the Dutch West Indies Company.
In 1644, Gov. Stuyvesant tried to pass a law to ban Jews from the same liberties as other settlers in New Amsterdam. But his ordered was rescinded after pressure from the Dutch West Indies company. All other attempts to ban other religious groups also failed.
Dutch names are still prominent in New York. Harlem, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Wall Street, Bowery, Coney Island, Flushing and many other areas have names that started out Dutch, but changed spelling over time.
More people need to be exposed to Winston. He is simply brilliant.
I couldn't agree with you more!
Dr Drew as well.
Brilliant and a sweetheart.
It’s terrifying to live in California now. Wasn’t like this when we moved here in 2003. It’s infuriating and completely unacceptable! I’m still mortified that so many people vote for GN! There are no consequences for clearly illegal activities! Vote red 2024 ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼
I was born and raised in California and I'm heartbroken over the ways in which it is devolving due to poor government decisions. I do not understand how or why people there are STILL voting Democrat...???
i live in NYS and we area almost as bad. i bought my house in 2009 and it wasnt nearly this bad, if NYS was this big of a dump i would have left the state then. it becomes much more difficult when you have a house that's half paid off and dont want to start over again. im a truck driver that hauls milk, when i deliver to the plant in rochester there is actual trash on the sidewalks. NYS cities are an embarrassment. we are one step away from having poop maps app on google play store.
I was born and raised on the central California coast, then went to UCLA, and got my degree in microbiology the same year Dr. Drew got his BA. We moved to Oregon in 1988, because the school system had been so messed up, after one illegal alien amnesty after another. Sadly, Portland has become even more insane than LA. It's really not safe to be Jewish in either city any more.
California is the perfect example on how majority of Americans don't want America to become. G. Nuscience and his comrades ruined it. You see they don't have to deal with the the addicted, mental health individuals or the homeless. The live far, far, far away on islands or billion dollar homes. The are rotten the m4rx1st elitist swine.

Are we sure they are voting for him? Could it be rigged?
Kamala's Dad is an emeritus professor of economics at Stanford, though he lives in Washington DC, but does not see Kamala. Kamala could have learned economics from her dad, but she lacked the interest and the mental abilities to learn it. Instead of vague statements about being a middle class kid (she doesn't mention her parents were both professors), she MIGHT have said her dad was an economist who taught her . . . BUT SHE DID NOT LEARN ECON FROM HIM. She did not learn biology from her mom. As the child of professors, she could have had her tuition covered at McGill U and at Stanford U. BUT she did not get into either school. She went to Howard U instead, an average school, and was not distinguished there. She went to law school at Hastings in SF, but was not distinguished in class rank, Order of Coif, or Law Review editorial staff. Then flunked the CA bar exam. KAMALA is NOT academically smart. She has a mediocre mind. Her published writings were PLAGIARIZED. She is a FAKE who hides behind her minority status to avoid criticism. Her parents had PhDs in substantive fields. She is not as smart as them.
Are you watching Candace Owens?
Big facts and she will never talk about being Irish and her Irish slave owner family
@@wlknonsonshineyea Candace owens the truth teller do you have a problem with the truth?
Her father was a professor of "Post Keynesian " economics, I was told. If so, then that is full-on commie, pot smoking fantasy economics right there.
For a “smart” person, Kamala sure is dumb.
Only in California can someone that flunked the Bar exam be elected as the states top lawyer. LMAO
Vote Trump
They don’t look for people highly skilled and knowledgeable in their field . They look for ideologues to be leaders. I agree Vote Trump or it’s all over.
Appointed not elected
Yeah, if they elected someone who actually knew what the law was, they couldn't just do whatever the hell they wanted.
I've always liked Dr Drew, but this interview has given me an even greater appreciation. His ability to talk, as if he's just having a discussion with a friend, makes him so easy to listen to.
I watch Winston and have the takeaway each time that he has more interest in America than many Americans. And, I appreciate it.
I love this version of Dr Drew! So open and realistic, and still so amazing and intelligent.
Winston Marshall, you are the best UA-camr today!
One hour and 25 minutes is not enough for your program!
So agreed with Dr. Drew. Let the lawsuits against the institutions of compliance begin.
"Kamala's cognitive abilities..." So kind!
Yes. Very kind.
We have done rocks on the back yard that have more cognitive ability than Comrade Kommie-La.
What if tptb are putting up a meat puppet for Al?
@@sdrc92126 that’s a wild conspiracy theory. Noting Kamala’s lack of intelligence, on the other hand, is a simple observation.
As dumb as Swalwell, as unlikable as Hillary, as phony as Steven Colbert, and as obfuscatory as Mayorkas, all rolled into one. What could go wrong?
Winston is one of the world’s high-value inquisitors
Huh, Dr Drew is not actually like I thought he was….. mind you I remember him from before Covid.
I am enjoying the difference😁
To me, it is mindblowing that any government agency would provide drugs and places to take those drugs. It is as if they want to keep these people in addiction rather than cure them.
It’s the NGOs and activists. And they are making lots of money and calling this approach compassionate. The spin doctors can turn any lie into virtue.
You wouldn't want to see Canada :( Hello from dystopian Toronto, where a safe injection site once advertised a free chocolate bar for every 10 used sharps handed in.
Dr Drew got me through 2 years of covid insanity!
Dr. Drew...you, Vinay Prasad and John Campbell kept me mentally sane with the information you provided via UA-cam during the insane California lockdowns...I am forever grateful!
Campbell was blocked from exposing research on ivermectin.
@davidcollin1436. You could have seen several revered doctors & biochemists speak openly & courageously throughout the entire Covid 19 period on Stanford University Hoover Institute website, Laura Ingraham(nightly on Fox News) & others on UA-cam. There was actually a plethora of info re: the truth!
Don't forget we need to bring math, English, REAL history, and ESPECIALLY civics back into our schools. Stop teaching kids to take tests and be REAL teachers.
there is no such thing as real history. just different viewpoints from different sides.
for example, the confederate states saw the civil war as northern aggression and teach it as such til today.
in the war of independence from britain we are taught it was a unanimous sentiment. we are not taught that people were bullied and lives ruined to force support for the war.
Until that happens it's up to parents to teach those things. UA-cam documentary channels are what I used for the subjects I'm competent in (not maths).
@PorkChopAChunky i had a post with examples of how history is always just an opinion, a viewpoint from a side...but it went poof as usual. i'm still getting post participation notifications so my post is just invisible.
it doesn't matter the topic or how civil i speak i'm not allowed to speak here. except to complain they won't let me speak.
100% John!

Love Dr Drew and Winston Marshall!!! Great show!
Winston, what amazing praise for you from Dr Drew! Brilliant.
Winston Marshall and Russel Brant, Two Brits that are trying to help Americans not make the mistakes of Europe.
Brand actually, but in the UK people make fun of him. It may be his previous persona, married briefly to Katy Perry, and known as a loud- mouth, which meant he was not taken seriously.
Long live free speech. Great show!!!
For a long time now, I've been really happy about Dr. Drew landing where he has politically. Open minded and searching for truth, even when it has a great social cost.
THANK YOU, Winston.
Another insightful interview.
What a pleasure to listen to all your guests.
Let us keep pushing the boundaries to seek the truth.
Please clip the story of mental health care system in the US. That story on its own is worth spreading. Great episode.
Ill second this motion!
Can you tell me what the title is? Also, is it on here....because I can't locate it.
Thank you Winston for highlighting and giving important voices a platform. The more people that get exposed to alternative viewpoints. The more of us will wake up to the deception. That is being intentionally fed to us.
Great ducking video. Dr Drew has a great personality and intelligence. I'm glad to see that he is able to admit his wrongs. That is the sign of a good man.
Trust in Trump, Vance, Gabbard, RFKjr, Ackman, Rogan, ELON and many more
Oh, no. No. Every name that is presented to the public is an actor playing a part. The two sides we see are really ONE side presented to give the illusion of choice.
They are democrats that have opened their eyes to the insanity that has taken place in the Democrat Party. ( the never Trump Republicans and the Democrat party are the ones that are colluding together. The Trump Republicans are the ones that are the outliers to the political elites. That’s why Bush , Cheney , Obama And Biden can be snuggled up to each other while Trump Republicans who are actually former Democrats with younger Republicans like Matt Gaetz , are viciously attacked constantly. Plus MSM has become a propaganda arm of the Democrat establishment and their old school Republican lap dogs. You can just look at the difference in policy and know THERE IS A CHOICE!!! Just don’t be deceived by old school labels. People are creating something new within the old label of Republican… you just have to watch who’s on board and who isn’t within the party.

Best episode yet! There's a reason why Dr. Drew has been a media star for so many decades. He's fascinating. And reasonable for people on all sides of the political spectrum.
THESE are beautiful men. Thank you for providing voices of reason. The best therapy.
I'm relieved there are still finer minds who haven't been captured.
Thank you for a wonderful interview. In the land of OZ, we found that the deinstitutionalisation of the 1980s led to an increase in the incareration rates. It was found that the cost of incacerating people @ $50,000 annually was cheaper than a mental health institution. It was also found that some people with mental health issues found prison safer than trying to make their way in the community so they would offend to be sent back to prison where they would get medical help, dentistry and daily supervision - their days were mapped out for them from dawn to dusk. As a sideline, we had a prison in North Queensland called Lotus Glen Correctional Centre. People (primarily Indigenous) called it Club Lotus because they would commit a crime ( with a short sentence), go to prison and recieve medical assistance, get medication, see a dentist, get to buy a new pair of Nike shoes etc and in six months they would be released back into the community ... until the next cycle.
There are beautiful abandoned psyc centers all over the country. These could be renovated and used again. It sickening what has happened.
Especially with modern treatment availability. It could indeed do a LOT of good, while protecting the citizens around this.
When I worked CRISIS about 6 years ago I think the biggest problem was the short time the patients sent to hospitals with inpatient mental health only needed to stay 3 days and then they could sign themselves out. They were put on psychological medications, observed for 3 days to 2 weeks and then discharged to outpatient mental health. Problem was mostly it was a revolving. door because on medication they felt better and decided they didn't need the medication or counseling. They were back weeks later and sent back to the hospital, new medication and out again.
I was fat and kept getting so confused by what I should eat. Went to doctors and weight loss clinic. It took me awhile to finally say f them and follow the French diet. Now I am a healthy slim person.
I eat cheese, bread and meat with fresh veggies, stay away from boxed food
Me too. I only eat French Toast.
What’s the French diet ? French fries?
Dr. Drew has always been a strong and prominent voice of reason.
When you work in public schools you are made aware that the teachers and administrators quietly send their own children to private school.
Sunetra Gupta in the UK is our Jay Bhatachariya and was an original signatory (with him) of the Great Barrington Declaration which opposed covid policies and resisted lockdown and mandatory vaccination. Interestingly, although located in the US and UK respectively, both appear to have an Indian background.
I respect Dr. Drew so much. Good man 😊
Great musician and now a great UA-camr !
Love Winston Marshall
My God, this is an incredible discussion. Goes a bit all over but in a good way. Learned something new about Lincoln. Thank you, Winston, for producing such timely and informative content.
Real convo, relevance, humility, experience and logic
I never watch mainstream media just podcast this one is really good 👍
Trust in the Lord and HE will make all your paths straight.
Drew is unique in understanding the gov system
Fantastic interview! The world should hear this.
We toured the Traverse City State hospital a few years back, the tour guy said that people were just put out into the streets. He said in the evening patients would return to the hospital because they had no where to go. I found that sad.
A lot of hospitals were good, provided care and a social setting with activities.
Best version of Dr. Drew.
Unfortunately,Kamala’s ideology and blind ambition severely clouds her judgment.
She's a malignant narcissist with a 78IQ
Listen to Candace Owens....it's way more than that.
She should withdraw and save the embarrassment, her lies and blind ambition will destroy her
It’s not judgement it’s all pre planned
I have followed Dr. Drew for many years and he has always just talked common sense..
I am continually amazed at the variety and quality of your guests. Keep it up.
Love these conversations 😊
I’ve been a fan of Dr. Drew since the Loveline on KROQ. I’ve always admired his work. People were hard on him during the pandemic, it was awful. All he’s ever done is help others w/ addictions and counseling. His stance on the sh*t was balanced : take the sh*t if you had a pre-existing health condition or if you were of an older age. He’s just didn’t want people to panic. Pharmaceutical companies hate him for talking against the pushing of so many drugs on the market. That should tell you he’s not about the money.
You should have millions of subscribers, Winston. You make me proud to call Great Britain the Mother Country. Strength and honor, my brother. Strength and honor.
I would greatly appreciate if Dr Drew was on the MAGA ticket...
Enlightening interview..
I’m shur rfk will have him on his healthy team
Two brilliant men. Brilliant conversation.
As a non-addict that just left a rescue mission, my circumstances were the exception and took 3 years of tragedy after tragedy to get there. And I promise anyone else in my position would have become an addict. The only reason I’m not even an alcoholic in these circumstances is because alcohol is too expensive to indulge in when my wife and daughter need that money.
Lucky man even with all ur tragedies you have something priceless a girl and a kid you can go anywhere with them behind you ❤

As long as there is no legal reform that would require the proper medical authorities to take those cited in this discussion into protective custody even without consent, most of those on the street will voluntarily remain there. It’s a sticky issue, constitutionally.

ANOTHER EXCELLENT PODCAST MANY THANKS FOR THESE INFORMATIVE GUESTS !!! ❤. ONLY WE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT FREEDOM CAN THE WORLD !!!
THANK YOU Dr. Drew. I went in to high school in 85 in Los Angeles
Excellent discussion. Dr Drew has become a national treasure. He kept me sane during the Covid mania. I was skeptical of everything the government was telling us but I have no medical background and there were so few Drs allowed to speak. Thank goodness we had someone as trustworthy as Dr Drew to keep us from buying into the hysteria.
Dr. Drew! You’re awesome! I used to love your show on addiction. Rehab with Dr. Drew. You’re so legitimately empathetic and it’s so needed in our current culture. I pray you can get our governments to build a better treatment model.
Anyone should have been shocked 4 years ago.
This was great!
I'm starting to have hope for America again...
Greetings from Switzerland.
Good interview, but I have to take issue with a few points Dr Drew makes. Firstly, I have never been keen on the use of the term 'disease' to describe addiction. Addiction is an affliction and a terrible one at that, but whilst you can observe the effects of it on a person, you cannot test for it, or detect it through blood panels or autopsy. I feel that calling it a disease muddies the waters and leads to confusion about what it actually is.
Which brings me onto the second issue, which is that addiction and poor mental health are very strongly correlated. Speaking as someone who has struggled with unhealthy substance use (for what little my opinion is worth), particularly in times of high stress and/or wanting to escape my real-world problems, using drugs was not at its root a motivation issue. People use coping mechanisms for all sorts of life issues, and those may be drug based, or they could include compulsive sexual behaviour, gambling, work, or any other behaviour that alleviates the suffering felt by coming face to face (but not dealing with) the stressor. Whatever the coping mechanism, substance based or otherwise, it can easily become compulsive and habit forming, giving less and less reward for each indulgence and inevitably resulting in negative consequences, for health, finances, relationships and so on. And it becomes a vicious circle via a vis mental health, as the greater the suffering, the greater the need to relieve the suffering, the more the addictive behaviour is indulged in, which leads to further damage to mental health, and so on, and so on.
I suppose I lean further towards the philosophy and approach of Dr Gabor Maté than that of Dr Drew, though I appreciate he is doing wonderful work and genuinely cares about helping people with such terrible afflictions.
Dr Drew is such an amazing person, he's helped me so much over the years as a drug addict. It was no surprise seeing him come from a place is reason during the pandemic.
When I worked at a youth addiction center, the people making suboxone told us there was no possibility of addiction. I can't tell you how many times we admitted a kid who was high on suboxone.
You’re awesome Winston!
I am so glad you brought up JFK and his sister. It was terrible what the hospitals done with people and they destroyed.
Excellent conversation here! Dr. Drew brought up some great points.
Excellent guest, topics, and interview.
That was a Fabulous interview Thank you😊
Dr Drew is awesome!
Dr Drew likes him some Dr Drew.
This was one of the best interviews I've seen on any UA-cam channel. Holding my attention on ANY topic for almost an hour and a half is evidence in itself, believe me!
I'm sure not everyone agrees with me about these other interviewers: You're up there in the Lex Friedman Megyn Kelly stratosphere for me!
Great interview, thanks.
People came to America, not because they loved “freedom” but because they wanted land. They wanted something they could call their own and the home countries were already divided up amongst the wealthy class.
No, that is not the single reason but one that they believed was very important.
@ I guess the indentured Irish slaves weren’t here because they wanted land. And of course there was other reasons to immigrate.
finally a fresh voice with truth 11 you are a fabulous speaker 1 Dr drew I have not heard you for a long time, good for you for speaking out !!!!
Dr Drew has a great channel you may enjoy here on youtube, goes live every weekday. Very informed guests
What's truth 11?
What an amazing and informative conversation to eavesdrop on.
would love to hear him on the provenance of TDS.
23:00. this Doctor speaks truth and is accurate about how to treat people with addictions and mental illness. Those suffering with these conditions/addictions when their disease has progressed too long. Their brain is now unable to have any insight or think critically. Their brain is diseased/damaged/ill !! The person cannot understand that they need help. If you saw a person on the street or in their home suffering from a festering wound, you would call the ambulance to have them treated despite their protests. These people have a "festering wound" in their brain. They need to be taken to hospital, yes, even against their will, so they can be treated to get their brain healed again.
I was a psychosocial practitioner in our Province Mental Health Hospital for 24 years. It closed down in 2011. ALL the patients went into new mental health facilities throughout the province. Not one went directly onto the streets. Now the old institution uses 3 buildings that treat dual diagnosis. (mental health and addiction).
I agree with the doctor, that the hospital/"institution" I worked in, was a caring, therapeutic, and beautiful place to heal and recover from Mental illness. It really is a shame that the government, who thought community care would work better, couldnt see into the future. Now we see that it was a big mistake to expect community care to have all the wonderful expertise that used to be in one large Mental Health Hospital, dispersed and diluted and fragmented into small care facilities. A bad mistake!
An extremely interesting discussion. Excellent video, well worth watching in its entirety.
The addiction creates barriers to housing and employment. 20 years since I got off the streets with the help of the VA at Menlo Park, CA.
VA got me clean too. Ft Leavenworth domicile after detox. Been clean for almost 15 years.
