01 Sep 2025
In 2019, Dr. Drew went on TV to warn California if it didn’t get homeless camps and rat infestations under control, a bubonic plague outbreak was imminent. “I want to give you a prediction here. There will be a major infectious disease epidemic this summer in Los Angeles,” Dr. Drew told Fox News in 2019. But California didn’t listen. On August 21, 2025, the LA Times reported the plague “aka the Black Death, made a reappearance in California.” Chef Andrew Gruel, a food entrepreneur and Huntington Beach City Council member, slams Bill Gates’ fake butter for lacking key nutrients like C-15. Art Kleinschmidt, SAMHSA Acting Director, addresses mental health and substance abuse in homeless populations. Anthony Brown, once homeless and now founder of Brown Manor, shares his mission to provide shelter and recovery services.
