If we give our governing bodies a skewed lens, a biased viewpoint, bad information, bad facts, bad data, you're going to get bad legislative and governing decisions. And we see it. Why? Like the peptides. Why would you come in and ban these peptides? What is the real agenda? The real agenda is big pharma put pressure on the FDA had nothing to do with safety. It did not have anything to.
It was an overwhelming amount of pressure and it was an easy layup. And they even do it with as soon as, let's say, Joe Bob Compounding Pharmacy has a recall in Nebraska, right? Why in the hell is that on national news? Like if somebody recalls eight vials of trizepatide, the weight loss drug, How did that get on national news?
When Eli Lilly recalls thousands of vials and it never makes the news or Pfizer or whoever, they'd have recalls every day that never make the news. The reason being they deploy their PR arm, they push an agenda, they scare the hell out of people, they document it, then they send all that new shit onto the FDA and go, look at this, man. You guys are just going to let this happen? We got to step up.
We got to get these guys out of the marketplace. And the FDA has an incentive to do so because... In 12 months, they're going to be interviewing for a job going to work for those guys.
I think they're terrified. I 100% think they're terrified. And I know, but I don't think to your question earlier, is there an opportunity for change? And is the opportunity better than ever? It is. But they are not going to go silently into the night. These are some of the biggest, most powerful institutions in the world.
And don't think for a second that politicians aren't scared of those people. This is a dance, and they've got to find where they can put wins on the board. Another easy win on the board would be the PBMs. Nobody's defending the PBMs, and the PBMs have been so silent behind the scenes that they really haven't lobbied like Big Pharma.
And you're not going to find anybody going, yeah, protect those PBMs because everyone, the cat's out of the bag now. Anyone who knows what they are go, wait a second, we're letting these guys make a bunch of money off of our prescription drug care? So I think that's an easy fix. Like you should not allow insurance companies to own middlemen that profiteer off of chronic disease.
Yeah. And then there's all sorts of things like in medical, in surgical, you know, people make the assumption that if something came through the FDA, that it's safe. Even bigger than pharmaceutical, 92% of the products in the operating room never had a human safety study. In the operating room.
So any implant, any knee, any shoulder, any joint, scopes that go into your body, anything, pacemakers, all of it, most of that has never had a human safety study, which sounds mind-boggling. The FDA couldn't get to all these things, so they created an exemption in the 80s called the 510K approval process, which says if you can find a like product in the market today, we'll give you a daisy chain.
So like take a ring rotary phone at your house as a kid, like in the early 80s, you know, probably before even your time. But like that was a phone. If that phone had an FDA approval and you grandfather in a cell phone and then you grandfather in an iPhone and now you got an iPhone 17 or whatever we're at with AI. The study was done in 1982 and now we're 30 generations away with a product.
What are the...
elements of that are in the operating room that are the highest concern for you uh i mean obviously anything that's implanted in the body because there's some implants that are better than others oh for sure there always are and then there's like there there were in like i can give you example in women's health they had a device that was put into the uterus to stop pregnancy and that device what they didn't ever do was a study on how to take it out and it was absorbing into the uterine lining so
So when a woman... Copper IUD? Yeah, not a copper IUD. This preceded all that. An e-sure procedure, and when women were deciding to take these various things out, it absorbed into their uterus, and they had to take out the whole uterus. People were having all sorts of side effects. There's a big class action lawsuit. There were... literally like surgical procedures.
I'm in at crucial points in heart surgeries, even where they're using high def cameras. And when they would hit the ablation device, they never taste tested it with all the other equipment that's in the OR. So you're at a crucial part of a heart surgery. You go hit an ablation device to burn or cauterize a piece of a heart tissue or whatever and piece of anatomy you're working on.
The fucking camera would turn off. So imagine it's like a video game. You're doing the surgery, looking at the camera because it blows it up in high res. And when you go to do a crucial part of the surgery, blackout screen. Because they had never tested the camera to work with these pieces of equipment. I mean, there was a device that literally like a suction device.
And they didn't realize that it didn't have a disclaimer not to use it to suck like blood out of anatomy when you're in the middle of surgery. And it literally sucked out like pieces of an organ and killed people. I mean, there's so many examples. And then even more Wild West, I'll tell you the most crazy fucking story ever. I told this on Rogan and people, I swear, hand to God, this is true.
I was in a surgery at the Houston Zoo on an animal, on a tiger or leopard, I don't remember, on a big cat. And I noticed the shaver, it's a piece of equipment they use to go in and clean up tissue in a joint. And it had green tape on it. It was labeled with green or red. I don't remember. It was labeled with tape. And so I noticed it was a loaner.
So I look at the serial number just because I'm like, oh, it's a loaner. It's wild. The Houston Zoo has this freaking loaner handpiece. And like a month later, I'm in a human surgery at a hospital. And I see the guy shaving with this shaver with a green piece of tape on it. And so at the end of the surgery, I wait for it to all be done.
And I put on some gloves and I look and it's the same freaking piece of equipment, the same exact handpiece that was in a veterinary surgical procedure. Okay, reps carry what are called trunk stock, right? When I was a surgical rep, I have, like, a million dollars in surgical equipment in my fucking trunk.
And, like, you have restrictions, like, it's supposed to be kept at climate-controlled temperatures, 85 degrees. You know, we can't guarantee there's not bacteria if you're the hospital... How in the hell is a rep supposed to drive an hour across town, carry that equipment in their trunk, put it into a surgical procedure, wash it, clean it, take it off, drive it to another hospital.
