Dr. Drew Pinsky 0:01
Three great guests today. My friend Andrew Yang starts us off. He's, of course, a friend of mine from America's dumbest. He and I are nation's dumbest on Fox. We'll talk about that. He proposed the Freedom Dividend, $1,000 a month for every American. He says that Kamala Harris is quietly preparing to run for president, which he calls, well, I'll let him speak for himself on that one. And he has a lot to say about AI and its effect on jobs. I'm very interested in talking to him about that. Then our friend Tom Renz returns. He is not happy. He's saying that the CDC handed Pfizer 1.24 billion for the RNA COVID vaccines. Follow him on X at RenzTom. And then finally, Dr. Kelly Victory makes a command performance here with us to talk about the upcoming COVID diaries.

Senator Ron Paul, in advance of Dr. Fauci's congressional hearing, released the so-called Fauci diaries. More with all three after this. Our laws as it pertained to substances are draconian and bizarre. The psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor. Where the hell do you think I learned that? I'm just saying, you go to treatment before you kill people. I am a clinician. I observe things about these chemicals. Let's just deal with what's real. We used to get these calls on Loveline all the time. Educate adolescents and to prevent and to treat. If you have trouble, you can't stop and you want help stopping, I can help.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:34
I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 1:47
Andrew Yang is both an entrepreneur and a former 2020 Democratic candidate. He is an author. He is the CEO of Noble Mobile. And I'll have him tell you about that, which seems like an extraordinary opportunity for those of us getting taken to the cleaners by our various cellular carriers. His bestseller was The War on Normal People. And I am reading mostly through his book. Hey, Yang, where's my thousand bucks? Hey, Yang. Thank you for joining me.
Andrew Yang 2:19
Drew, thanks for having me. Look at this. We're not trapped in a high school set in a fake gym trying to avoid making dumbasses of ourselves. So it's great to be out here in the free world with you.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 2:37
It's so funny, Andrew. When I was watching the last week's episode, it's a Fox reality show. Think the Fox network that airs The Simpsons. And it's 9 o'clock on Wednesdays, and it airs on Hulu. And when I was watching myself last week, where I got out... I remember thinking to myself that day going, oh crap, I could never get out of here. If the cards go just so, I'm going to stay. It's a lot of luck involved in that game.
Andrew Yang 3:11
Yeah, and it's a really tough pill to swallow when you're close to getting out on a particular day and then it doesn't go for you. And then you're like, I'm going to come back tomorrow and do this again. And I don't know how many more days it's going to be like this. So kudos to you. Anyone who watched the show, Dr. Drew, free man, not the nation's dumbest, whether I join him or not, you'll have to tune in to find out.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:37
Exactly. But it was a really positive experience all around. And I still owe you and are you in LA now? Are you in New York still?
Andrew Yang 3:46
I'm in LA still happily being a good helicopter parent.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 3:51
Okay. I still owe you and Michael a dinner. We got to organize that. We're in New York right now. We're getting back. We're going to travel a little more back in two weeks, essentially. Are you still there in two weeks? maybe we might just overlap. So yeah, let's try and figure it out. All right. Let's figure it out. Let's figure that out. So, all right. So I enjoyed your book and do me a favor before we get into the AI story and the presidential candidacy and the universal basic income thumbnail, your story for them, because it is pretty extraordinary.
Andrew Yang 4:28
Oh, well, thanks. I was an unhappy lawyer for five months and then a failed entrepreneur and then a nightclub promoter and then a less failed entrepreneur.
Dr. Drew Pinsky 4:39
Hang on a second. The nightclub promoter dovetailed into the second entrepreneurial effort, right?
Andrew Yang 4:48
Yes, it did.
