Who are the producers of 'The Coddling of the American Mind'?

Drew 0:03
So much show coming your way. Ted Ballacher, award-winning filmmaker, former ABC News producer, think tank scholar, director of Coddling of the American Mind. You're going to hear all about that with Courtney as well. Courtney Ballacher is an award-winning filmmaker, professor whose work spans documentaries, theater. She directed Little Pink House starring Catherine Keener, who's one of my favorite actresses. So we will get into their entire story and the development and execution of the coddling of the American mind. There's a lot there and a little surprise about Rob Henderson and Courtney. I'll share with you in a few minutes. And after we talk to them, we'll bring our friend Lionel back for us to talk radio veteran, trial lawyer, former prosecutor. Got ideas. We haven't been an update with Lionel quite some time, so it'll be interesting to hear what he's thinking these days. You can follow him at lionelmedia.com, and I'll give you the particulars on Ted and Courtney, although it says Todd and Courtney somewhere here.

I'm not sure if I got that right. I think it's Ted. Right after this. Our laws, as it pertains 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 for f***'s sake. 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. I got a lot to say. I got a lot more to say.

Joint muscle pains are exhausting and frustrating, but I've got a over-the-counter medication I want to introduce you to that provides great relief using the power of, check it out, chili peppers. Capsidone is made with a proprietary formula that contains no non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, no opioids, no anesthetic or steroid, nothing, no chance for addiction, no side effects. No chance it's going to interact with other medication you might be taking. Capsodin contains capsaicin, which is the substance in chili peppers that burns your tongue. It gives you that burny feeling. And of course, I've recommended capsaicin creams to patients over the years, but other capsaicin creams burn your skin. That's what makes capsaicin so unique.
Drew 2:31
In clinical trials, capsaicin has actually been demonstrated not to burn.

I've been using capsidin to relieve my pain in my hands and my wrist from carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis. The results have been amazing. I use it every day during my show and I highly recommend it.
