113.185 - 139.471 Drew

Those dolphins were deficient in a particular fatty acid. She replaced the fatty acid, and they didn't get the Alzheimer's. humans have the same issue. And we are more deficient in this particular fatty acid than ever before. And a simple replacement of this fatty acid called C15 will help us prevent these syndromes. It's published in a recent journal called Metabolites. It's a new nutritional

139.971 - 161.787 Drew

C15, pentadecanoic acid, it's called. The deficiency that we are developing for C15 creates something called the cellular fragility syndrome. This is the first nutritional deficiency syndrome to be discovered in 75 years and may be affecting us in many ways, and as many as one in three of us. This is an important breakthrough. Take advantage of it.

189.122 - 195.866 Drew

On XDLash, on Substack, it is danalash and danalash.com. Dana, welcome to the program.

196.823 - 198.664 Dana Loesch

Thank you, Dr. Drew, for having me. Good to be here.

235.805 - 236.905 Drew

Please, lay it out.

237.746 - 246.852 Dana Loesch

So Texas, you know, it's Texas. It's, you know, I mean, we're like cowboy land, right? I mean, the Dallas Cowboys, you know, you got the Houston Oilers. You're, you know, the West is here.

247.033 - 248.173 Drew

You said it all with that.

248.334 - 269.628 Dana Loesch

It's Texas. Exactly. So you think, I moved here 13 years ago from Missouri. And I was very excited because I thought, my gosh, gonna be a lot of like minded people who are gonna leave me alone, it'll be great. There's a lot of Republican lawmakers I lean towards, I always vote most conservative, I vote Republican usually. And I was very excited about the prospect of having a decent legislature and

270.588 - 285.373 Dana Loesch

It was like a bait and switch. I get down here and I realize a lot of Republicans are really just Democrats who couldn't get elected in their districts running as Democrats. So they switched party affiliation, raised enough money. They had the name recognition, the contacts, the backing, and they were able to get elected as Republicans.

476.376 - 489.259 Drew

And she said she'd look into it. I'm dying to hear what the feedback is. But it has gotten to the point where, I mean, no hyperbole. I think the U.S. government is going to contemplate asylum seeking to run away from exactly what Texas is doing.

489.279 - 510.126 Dana Loesch

Yeah, exactly. I mean, and in Texas, you know, one of the most conservative states in the union. I wouldn't doubt it. I thought that question was quite interesting. But in terms of what voters can do, I mean, obviously the easy answer is voters have to elect more people. constitutionally minded lawmakers into office.

510.186 - 526.586 Dana Loesch

But it gets very difficult when you start talking about money and influence because a lot of these lawmakers are so entrenched and they have a lot of favors that they can call in. So like Dade Phelan, for instance, he has a huge war chest. If he doesn't spend it all in one campaign, what he does is he basically pays off these other lawmakers to have his back.

527.126 - 532.49 Dana Loesch

They get these Democrats elected to these or installed in these different committees, which is unthinkable.

532.61 - 549.002 Dana Loesch

I mean, if you have a Republican, not a super majority, but almost a super majority dominated state legislature, why are you allowing statists who want to jack up your taxes to an ungodly amount, who want to prevent you from having, you know, constitutional freedoms or age appropriate materials in your kid's school?

747.275 - 755.442 Dana Loesch

And he talked about that a little bit later on, you know, before he passed away. But yeah, that's where that book idea came from. And I just, he was, he was a great example of that.

758.001 - 785.505 Drew

Yeah, he will be missed. So how do you assess, speaking of the federal government, let's talk about the sexier, bigger version of our government that was meant to be not so big. How do you feel about what has gone on with the attempts to reduce expense? It seems like, yeah, it seems like Elon has been in there hard at work and yet what's happening?

787.239 - 803.422 Dana Loesch

I love the idea of having a very flashy auditor. And that's what Doge is. I mean, it's a glorified auditor. And I love it. And I love how flashy they are about it because it's like, let's make cutting spending look cool. And I love the fact that it's a bunch of dorks. And I don't say that as a pejorative. I mean, I really respect these people.

803.442 - 821.832 Dana Loesch

There are a bunch of nerds that are going in there with, you know, read-only access all under NDAs. And they're seeing a lot of the obvious waste and fraud and then some stuff that people haven't been tracking. My concern is that People are going to turn on them and him if there's not a lot of movement in Congress.

821.952 - 838.39 Dana Loesch

None of this stuff matters if Republicans don't get it together in the House and codify this. They gotta make tax cuts permanent. They gotta pass these USAID cuts. They have to do all of this stuff. And they're too busy fighting amongst themselves. And I get it. they got a razor thin majority. But that's not an excuse.

1188.461 - 1200.984 Drew

And that was there years before people started admitting what was going on here. But they claim that they didn't miss anything. You know, we have Todd. What's the guy from Meet the Press, Todd? You can help me with this.

1201.704 - 1202.484 Dana Loesch

Oh, Chuck Todd, yeah.

1203.68 - 1229.763 Drew

Chuck Todd, yeah. Todd's saying, oh, I refuse. This is a plot. This is a talking point. It's a narrative. No, shut the F up. This is a... This is... We're just... And by the way, not only did you have motivated reasoning and bias and probably... Certain numbers of them lied, I'm sure, because it was so obvious what was going on. You attacked people who said something that you didn't like.

1230.203 - 1255.15 Drew

When I talked about Parkinsonism, you attacked it. I mean, I was on a Greg Gutfeld show for two years doing... medical parodies with Tom Shalhoub, where he played this elderly, decrepit, demented old man. And we talked about doing demented status exams on him and neurologic exam. And it looked like, you know, we made it look like what the president would, how he would perform in those things.

1255.45 - 1265.192 Drew

That was years before people started talking about it. So what do we do with these so-called journalists that don't seem to be able to do any self-assessment or course correction?

1961.545 - 1964.212 Dana Loesch

I appreciate it. I think you're a vampire, but that's okay. Oh, God bless you.

1967.884 - 1978.911 Drew

Thank you so much. You can follow Dana on X D Lash L O E S C H. Watch the spelling. Uh, Dana Lash or L O S. No Botox either. C H me. No.

1980.072 - 1980.673 Susan Pinsky

It's all natural.

1981.093 - 2008.588 Drew

Uh, sub stack, Dana Lash, Lash, uh, Dana Lash.com. Dana L O E S C H. David Dwight comes in in just a second. The book, I'm going to give you the name of it. Hold on here. Screwed up. Here it is. An abundance of caution, which is words that shall ring in my head forever. Let's call it abundance of caution was the opposite of risk reward considerations, which is what clinical medicine always is.

2009.129 - 2032.414 Drew

Abundance of caution. I've never uttered those words talking to a medical student or a resident. It's always, what's your reasoning? And then why did you make that decision? What was the risk reward? And if it doesn't come down clearly on the side of reward, then you shouldn't have made that decision. There's no abundance of a caution. American schools, the virus, and the story of bad decisions.

2778.038 - 2789.181 David Zweig

Yeah, don't hold your breath on that, unfortunately. I mean, look, people are generally not inclined to admit when they were wrong. You know, what I- David, I'm gonna stop you.

2789.261 - 2807.431 Drew

I wanna stop you. Wait, wait. I am delighted to admit when I'm wrong. You're unusual. It means I've learned something. And I will happily apologize where I got it wrong. You're not an attorney either. I'll happily do that, really. And I do it, like I apologize to you, I will take every chance I get to apologize, at least as an example to how that works. You can't apologize.

2807.771 - 2826.717 Drew

I'm going to talk to Jenny McCarthy in a couple weeks. I want to apologize to her. I apologize to, oh my gosh, I'm blanking on her friend's name. No, I'm Naomi Wolf because I said something really dismissive about something she was making and she was right. I was like, that's pathetic. I'm apologizing. Disgusting how I was. That's not okay. And I won't do it again.

2827.489 - 2845.236 David Zweig

Well, you're obviously the exception, not the rule. Most people, and perhaps particularly so in media, corrections on things are not always forthcoming. One of the things that I think you'll find interesting is that, and that hopefully your audience will, is that

2845.916 - 2872.332 David Zweig

In the book, one of the things I try to show is that a lot of the way the media covered the pandemic, and in particular children in schools in America, it's not necessarily that there were factual errors, although there were plenty of those, but rather what I try to show is how it's really through framing. It's the information that's left out And it's the particular kind of the same pundits.
