He would give it all up and start from scratch. Right. You're spot on. You don't understand. I sit at dinners when I get the opportunity to be with my family and I look around the table and I really do think, Joe, ever since losing my brother, I am so present in those moments. And I just want everyone to be healthy. And I want the good memories to last.
And I want to be able to watch people live happy lives. And all the data and numbers and statistics, they're so overwhelming that people lull over. And that's why in front of the Senate, I brought it back to, I'm just going to talk about people.
I didn't even talk about statistics because there were way smarter people out there than me from Harvard, Stanford, all these academic types that are brilliant. And I'm like, but at the end of the day, guys, if the Senate doesn't understand, these are your children, your wives, your brothers, your sisters, your husbands, your wife. Like this is this is these are family members.
This is not just a number. These are real lives. One point nine million people dying a year of chronic disease. That doesn't even include deaths of despair, suicide, opioid abuse. We are a chronically ill society. And those impacts destroy families, destroy them. The ramifications are so far beyond that. Finances in numbers, but even finances in numbers, 24% of our federal budget, healthcare.
Number one budget concern federally is healthcare. Number one concern for most states, healthcare. Number one reason for bankruptcy in the United States for an individual, healthcare. It is a huge problem. But that's the dollars and cents of it. The real cost is paid in human lives and lost loved ones. And that's that's all I wanted them to hear is don't sweep this under the rug.
These are fucking people dying.
I think I think a tremendous amount. But the problem is then you swing that pendulum to overregulation and you've created a drug addict in the marketplace. And all those addicts turned to fentanyl and black market products. Right. Because the addiction is already there. Now we've already addicted. More people are dying of opioids today than ever before. And so the damage is prescribed less.
Yeah, the damage has been done. And that's what's hard. I don't know how you put that genie back in the bottle. The question becomes, what is the next opioid crisis? What's the next thing? It's almost like a hoarder's house.
I would even argue that the market we live in now is – A pharmaceutical insurance cartel, you know, they are glorified drug dealers monetizing people's chronic disease. And they have such a stranglehold over academia, the universities. They fund most of the studies, the NIH.
I mean, we just systematically go down from the food system to the government regulatory bodies, to the enforcement committees, to everything. They control the media. Like as soon as somebody gets, you know, get a little mouthy, anything, they come and hammer you.
and try to discredit you and portray it also how transparent it is like who owns the companies i know that's but most people aren't going to spend the time to go like i looked because i'm like who is this attacking me i want to understand their viewpoint it wasn't oh ha ha ha gotcha i'm gonna bust these people it was more of let me try and understand the other side and try and see what we could have said that would have been so inflammatory because the message is
Hope. It was hope. It was unity. It was working together. It was drop the part that has become healthy.
And that's where I go, who has the most to win by dividing us? It's not the Democrats. It's not the Republicans. It is the powers that be.
And when we peel back the layers, BlackRock, Vanguard, that own the majority shares of these pharmaceutical companies, that own the majority shares of most of the media outlets, that own the left and the right, they push agendas and they can control everything essentially except podcasts and free speech.
And that's one of the things that Jordan Peterson said in a meeting the night before we testified was – He implored us to stop trying to cater to the mainstream media because he said it's a lost cause. It's a lost hope. I hate to say that to you guys, but the world has given up on them. Why are you guys wasting your time with them?
Focus on podcasts, books, areas where you can truly, in a long-form format, expose the truth and ask and respond to hard-hitting questions. And we talked about you and your platform, and this is... You know, has been that people try to label it as misinformation at times. And I'm like, what part is me? Anytime I've come on, I've cited all my references on the Ways to Well website.
I list reference after reference, study after study.
100%.
Yeah, and I'll even say, and again, I don't know. I don't want to be too conspiratorial. I went to bed, and I was exhausted after that Senate hearing. I posted it. I'm a nobody. I didn't expect... I went to bed, and I want to say I had 1.3 million views. And I posted a rebuttal about one of the periodicals that was misrepresentative. And I just posted, hey...
Not a fair assessment of what happened today. 2,000 American people traveled from around the country to sit and hear an open dialogue that was bipartisan, backed by some of the best and brightest minds in medicine. Harvard, Stanford, Stedman Hawkins, all were present. This was not a bunch of influencers, blah, blah, blah. Shame on you. That was all I posted. Didn't get in the weeds.
