Yeah, you know, there were a lot of starkly revelatory items that President Trump talked about, and I'll give you some of those statistics in a moment. But Dr. Drew, what was interesting to me as I was hearing you tell your story about what you went through with prostate cancer and what you're currently going through, I was thinking to myself, you know,
At a time when our medical and our health and our pharmaceutical industry is so distrusted right now, then they want to heap this on, you know, creating even more skepticism around, you know, did he know? Didn't he know? Did they test for PSA? Did they not? Who didn't examine him? Who did examine him?
But President Trump spoke about some of these statistics, and these are, you know— It's hard. I get it that it is very hard for parents to listen to these statistics because there is a parental impetus to protect your children. But the conversation around vaccines and a lot of the issues from vaccines cannot be emphasized enough. Here are some items.
More than 40% of American children have at least one chronic health condition. Since the 1970s, rates for childhood cancer have increased 50%. In the 1960s, less than 5% of children were obese. Now it is over 20%. So they are talking about the pesticides on our crops. They're talking about the nutrition in our foods and all of these things, the overprescribing of certain drugs for children.
You know, the emphasis obviously is going to be on the younger population because if you have unhealthy children, those unhealthy children grow up to be unhealthy adults. So if you can target people in the formative years, then that is a huge breakthrough in the health establishment.
And isn't it amazing that for so long there has been this perception that on the left side of the aisle, they were the ones that were so health conscious, you know, going vegan and caring about all the things that were in their foods. And yet they weren't the ones who made this happen. And drug costs. They weren't the ones to make this happen.
It was Donald Trump in concert with Jay Bhattacharya and RFK Jr. and all of these folks who are helping lead this movement. I just think it's amazing to see. And I talk to people all the time who consider themselves to be, you know, kind of hippie on this side of things. And they used to be Democrats. And they said, you know, I haven't changed, but the party certainly have.
I'll miss the Italian cars and I will miss the French wine, but not if it means that I get really cheap prices for pharmaceuticals for my fellow Americans. I actually knew this was happening from personal experience because I used to suffer from debilitating migraines and migraine drugs are some of the most expensive ones on the market when they first get released.
And I have a sister-in-law who—my family's actually—I married into a Canadian family. My sister-in-law on the northern side of the border was paying just, I think, a $35 copay for her drug. I was paying—I think the ultimate price was about $615 because it was a brand-new drug. Unfortunately, I knew this.
But this is kind of the theme, Drew, that the American people foot the bill, and they end up getting screwed in the process. And if you find everyday Americans and you take the narrative out of it, you take the Democrat messaging—
whether you're talking about the tariffs or the pharmaceutical drugs, if you just present it to them and say, hey, with respect to both of these items, the American people were getting screwed. We should only, you know, this should be reciprocal across the board. And especially with pharmaceuticals, we're developing that here.
We are placing the risk at the feet of the people who are developing them, the people who are researching them. So we should get the better end of the deal, at least make it equal, but make it even better for Americans. And that's what Trump seems to be trying to do in all of it. Yeah.
Yeah, and look, I mean, like we said, this movement is somewhat focused on children because you want to raise up a healthy young generation. And true, I mean, you hit the nail on the head. When you look at all of the drugs that kids are prescribed these days, we are over-prescribing for things like ADHD to an extreme and damaging degree. And there are
dozens of studies out there that show that that can change your brain chemistry. So you put a child on this and you put them on it at, let's say, kindergarten, so age five, and you have it on them, even if you take them off of that drug in middle school, that's still years of being on this drug.
And there's just not enough research behind so much of what is new in those drugs, in the vaccine schedule, to know what the implications are 20 and 30 years down the road. And I don't think there's any irony in the fact that you have these people who are sicker, you've got the mental health issues, the chronic diseases, like you just mentioned, Americans are unhealthy.
But I will say, I feel like that's kind of part of why our medical system, our surgical system is so good is because unfortunately, they've had to deal with this.
Absolutely. And Drew, that brings into the conversation drugs like Accutane. I mean, that was a new drug that hit the market in the early 90s. Practically every teenage in America, if they had a pimple, they were prescribed with Accutane. And now we know, and it took years to find out, that that can actually lead to higher cases of depression. So it's not even necessarily the psychotropic drugs.
And Drew, it's like when we were growing up and they were singing the song to us, you know, the neck bones connected to the backbone, the shoulder bone and all of that. They're not making the connection between all of these things. And like you said, you've got medical doctors who are treating one issue.
They're not trying to heal the issue and they're probably not talking to people on the other person's team. So there's not really an effort in concert to make the person healthier and to heal the root causes of the issue. They're just slapping a bandaid. Yeah, exactly.
Honestly, you just put yourself in situations where you're not 100% comfortable, then even that builds robustness. We're in an age where if it's cold in your house, you turn on the heater. If it's hot in your house, you turn on the AC. Discomfort does not actually mean that something is damaging you. I was on a kick for a while where I was taking cold showers every morning.
