woke up the next day and all the momentum was gone like it we only we we still i think are sitting at 1.3 million i don't believe and then casey got messaged hey they'll de-platform you be careful if you start naming specific news outlets and i still believe that somehow we got de-algorithmed or deprioritized after we began to push back on the media for the stuff they were saying.
Your JRE experience. I don't know if they're affiliated with you or just a fan page. JRE experience Instagram. He print screened and messaged me and it said this video is not suitable for repost or something. My video from testifying in front of the Senate. They won't let you repost things. This was a Senate hearing. What are you talking about?
It was going crazy, and then I would see 100 new follow, 100 like whatever, and then the next morning, dead, totally dead. Like literally right after we were all trading texts about that article, and we're like – I just cannot believe they reacted with an article this fast, and it's a total misrepresentation of what occurred today. That's all they need.
And it tried to make it sound like it was a left or right-wing political movement, like a right-wing political ideology. And it's like everyone in that room – in fact, most of the people on the panel – We're Democrat backgrounds, registered Democratic voters like there were some Republicans on there, but it was a mixture is a melting pot.
And we're all free thinkers like don't take my ability to think critically away from me. I don't give a shit which party you're part of. I am here for team people. Let's talk about the issues and stop trying to make this left or right like it's not.
I feel like. I feel like, for example, the New York Post article, I honestly, the way they worded that, they tried to make it sound like I'm just a regular on your podcast and I come on here and just shit all over the FDA. And I'm like, I'm doing my best to be transparent and say they're at a disadvantage. They're underfunded. They didn't build this model. They were put in this model. Right.
And they're doing their best to navigate, but they're underfunded, understaffed, and chronically corrupted. Right. By the environment itself. But I would tell you the same thing with academia, the same thing with hospital systems. It's not me picking on one person.
The biggest thing I saw in health care was doctors were exhausted, whether orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons. I mean, I told you this. My buddy, he's a prominent sports medicine surgeon. He's a team doctor for multiple teams. He's had highest positions at hospital systems. And even he says, what am I going to do, man? What am I fucking supposed to do? You know, I got it. I need to do surgeries.
I've got to do a certain amount of surgeries to make all the all of this flow and work. And I've got to hold my team accountable for the amount of surgeries and their volumes. And you're never supposed to make it about volumes. But all of these hospital systems are incentivized off volume metrics that are based off. cranking out the most amount of surgeries.
And so there is a tremendous amount of pressure from the top down. And with insurance companies dwindling reimbursements and dwindling, like even primary care reimbursements, but also surgical reimbursements, you're not going to be able to innovate when it's a race to the bottom, right? A total joint's paying less now.
It's going to take an 8% haircut every year, and it has for like the last 15 years. So nobody's going to go out and buy some brand new state-of-the-art joint or even innovate a brand new state-of-the-art joint because it's all about commodity, commoditizing it and driving down the cost right now to make it affordable to even get a joint.
That's crazy.
Growing up in Houston, I was used to hurricanes. A fire would be terrifying.
cracking in half. Are they having that many claims? Is that why?
I've only been in one earthquake, and it was in Japan when we were at Disney in Japan, and an earthquake hit. This was recently. Yeah. We were with Philip, Frank, and Lee, and Margarita, and Amanda and I were all there, and literally the earthquake hit. I get a text. And I look and all the Japanese people are looking at their phones too. And it's like, like an Amber Alert.
And I look and it says, seek shelter, nine point, whatever, eight points. That was a huge one. I don't know earthquakes. I don't want to tell you they're wrong. Whatever the giant one was that just happened. And every Japanese person just dropped to the ground and covered their heads. And we were in a cave, like a man-made cave at Disney.
So Amanda looked at me and was like, fuck that, and just took off running. Oh, wow. And we, like, ran out of the cave. Good move. But everyone was just down on the ground. And then the tsunami warnings followed. And I was just thinking, like— I grew up with hurricanes, and you know they're coming. You have like a week. The earthquake stuff is terrifying. Terrifying. That is scary.
Japan gets some big ones. And the earth is literally throwing things and moving. That's way scarier to me than hurricanes.
When I got back to the hotel, there was a koi pond, because it's Japan, beautiful koi pond, but it was up on, like, the 30th floor. Oh, God. All that water was just all over the lobby from the hotel swaying.
Jesus Christ.
