00:02:47.260
who uh claims to be a woman um but doesn't do anything about it uh just still looks like a man
00:02:57.140
but he's um he's a good looking woman if he'd throw some makeup on you know spend five minutes in front
00:03:02.540
of the mirror dude anyway he just won yeah another winner the women's poker tournament he just won so
00:03:10.620
you got that so this is good for women this is good for women and i you know a lot of people might take
00:03:17.640
this as being sarcastic but there is a guy in delaware county in indiana he is a delaware county
00:03:25.260
indiana councilman uh he's ryan webb and he is the first republican local councilman
00:03:35.000
to come forward as a lesbian woman of color and ryan hats off to you
00:03:41.660
well good morning sir i uh i appreciate the invitation and uh thank you for the recognition
00:03:48.860
thank you sure sure now how long have you been contemplating this uh transition to a woman
00:03:55.000
well i'm not really sure how long i've been contemplating it i you know i felt i felt this
00:04:02.840
way uh for quite a long time and just really wasn't sure the right time to do it uh but as
00:04:08.800
you know with each passing day uh to become more and more socially acceptable and uh the rules have
00:04:14.920
have become uh ingrained and and set in stone is such that someone such as myself who has no real
00:04:21.120
ambition to actually live life as a woman however knows in my heart that i am a woman yeah i thought
00:04:28.120
this was the the right time for me to go ahead and uh announce that that's and i think that's the way i
00:04:32.760
choose to self-identify i think that's great you you did say in your facebook post that uh uh you
00:04:39.840
noticed that there wasn't there wasn't any lgbtq representation uh on the council board uh and uh
00:04:48.220
you are the first woman of color too what color are you well um i appreciate you saying that and and i
00:04:56.760
did notice that and i thought you know we just need a little bit uh more diversity we had way too many
00:05:01.780
uh straight white men on the council and i thought you know we could do something about this but to answer
00:05:06.720
uh what what my uh heritage is i am cherokee uh native american on both sides very proud of that
00:05:12.400
and uh which uh qualifies me as the woman of color that i am oh so you're not just change you're not
00:05:18.080
just a white guy that is is now saying i identify as a woman of color you're actually i mean we could
00:05:27.780
you know in the old days i would say scientifically show your bloodline has cherokee in it oh yeah yeah
00:05:35.320
fully backed up with the documents of ancestry dna.com um you know shout out to them but yeah
00:05:41.960
yeah that is a fact so now you say you're uh excited to be a vocal partner of the lgbtq q q i a p c
00:05:51.800
plus plus movement um and just how far can we take things uh you're glad that you know now anyone just
00:05:59.960
like you can be anything or anyone they want where what do you how far do you want to take things
00:06:07.340
well you know with this this whole journey of uh you know gender discovery and who you are i'm just
00:06:14.120
riding the wave and wherever it takes me is where it goes and i've said before you know oftentimes with
00:06:19.120
these things they're very complex sometimes we end up right back where we started but uh for what i'm
00:06:23.920
trying to do as far as you know promote some awareness within the community is that you know
00:06:28.800
there's there's a lot of bad information out there from some of these folks as being intolerant
00:06:33.020
and hateful and i want to show the world that some of us are pretty down to earth and sensible people
00:06:38.220
we're not all crazy right right okay have you had your first period yet well you know i i i had
00:06:46.260
something going on the other day but i wouldn't classify it as that i think i just had a little bit
00:06:49.940
indigestion okay all right well be prepared you should keep some family talk to your are you
00:06:56.720
married i am yeah you are married wife brandy yeah beautiful wife brandy we have six kids and uh
00:07:02.400
wow she's fairly excited about the the new designation of not only uh being married to a woman of color but
00:07:08.720
celebrating our diversity as a interracial married couple right right now she is excited that you
00:07:16.500
you are now identifying as a woman well you know what she stands behind me and everything that
00:07:22.460
comes with it and uh you know she's been sitting back watching things like everybody else and she's
00:07:27.060
not she's not naive to the benefits to come with being a woman of color so we're hoping that you
00:07:31.960
know our kids will be accepted to some colleges that they previously made right right right so right
00:07:37.000
guys the limit so she's excited about that and she's identifying now as a lesbian
00:07:41.460
well she's not necessarily changed her identity i don't think she can argue the point that that's
00:07:47.300
that's what she is but uh yeah she's allowed me to go on my journey and uh you know her journey
00:07:52.700
will take her wherever it chooses to go right and you are you are a lesbian though you'll only sleep
00:07:58.680
with women yeah yeah yes and if and i've offered to prove that if anyone if anyone doesn't believe
00:08:04.020
that i'm you know i'm very affectionate with my wife in public so yeah i think i've i've more than
00:08:08.500
then uh stood on stood on my own two feet with that statement you know a lot of people ryan uh
00:08:13.480
we're talking to uh we're talking to ryan webb he's a local republican councilman uh who has just
00:08:20.220
come out as a lesbian woman of color and the first one on the council and uh that was very brave of you
00:08:26.700
so hats off on just your bravery a lot of people would say that you are making fun
00:08:34.020
of wokeness and the fact that men will always be men and not women is there any truth to that
00:08:43.440
well uh those allegations have been made now i wouldn't make those allegations i'm not saying
00:08:49.520
that in fact um i don't know what rule book they're reading from but my understanding was that
00:08:54.800
that we weren't allowed to question someone's gender identity um that it's simply declaring it and
00:09:00.320
and it is so and you might as well write it in red so i'm not necessarily making fun of anyone i'm just
00:09:06.300
expressing how i'm choosing to live my life within the boundaries and rules that's been set forth by
00:09:11.120
society um and pass the test so uh they can say that all they want but i don't need their um
00:09:16.920
confirmation or their affirmation or any of the actions i i'm living my own life all right ryan
00:09:23.900
again we salute you as a very brave brave it is hard in these days to come out uh on something you
00:09:34.060
know like this and stand there all alone surrounded by all of the real power in society um you know
00:09:42.900
holding your hand and propping you up and giving you all kinds of benefits and that's a scary place
00:09:47.860
to be so well you you are correct with that and in the beginning you know some folks didn't really
00:09:55.260
know how to how to take it some were upset but as the days have went on i've i've been receiving a
00:10:00.540
lot of support and to be honest glenn um the local leftists in my community they're the ones who
00:10:06.520
insisted on making this story a national story me personally i would like to focus more on the
00:10:12.020
important things that we're doing on the council such as increasing transparency and and increasing the
00:10:16.980
wages for all of our county employees but unfortunately uh this is this is what we're
00:10:20.880
talking about yeah really sad situation yeah all right well ryan you keep with your truth okay
00:10:27.860
i appreciate that mr back i will i will thank you so much very much that's ryan webb delaware county
00:10:35.620
indiana county councilman brave very brave very brave to take a stance like that and i know
00:10:44.300

00:10:50.800
well i don't you know i appreciate that he's keeping his name because i don't want to dead name
00:10:56.740
anybody right but who am i to question what he believes what his truth is and what his truth may not
00:11:06.400

00:11:12.680
disgusting oh my god you are so brave thank you you are so brave thank you i am i mean going along
00:11:18.860
with what everybody who has any kind of power at all just going along and sniffing their butt and
00:11:26.200
holding their hand that yep you know and doing exactly what you're told that you are so brave
00:11:30.980
thank you for affirming me you're well thank you for affirming well you haven't yet you have i
00:11:36.980
affirm you okay wow thank you wow don't you feel i feel heard and affirmed and just kind of i don't
00:11:49.500
know like it's my first day of being a girl you know you you pass you're very would make a very
00:11:59.660
attractive female and not that that's what your journey is that's not what my journey is right now
00:12:04.300
let me tell you something if i do become a girl you damn well better say that i'm not only a girl
00:12:09.760
but i'm a good looking girl oh i will affirm the hell out of you for that yeah all right so thank
00:12:15.240
you i affirm you too thank you this has been a great see this is how we all come together this
00:12:19.940
is the mutual affirmation society just speak the truth that our overlords demand we speak and then
00:12:27.900
we can all get along and that's all you have to do you just have to say what your truth is and it
00:12:31.600
becomes the truth well with one exception with one exception uh-huh if someone says they're trans
00:12:37.320
and then they commit a mass murder then you it's totally okay to say actually they were lying the
00:12:42.540
whole time any other instance though you must affirm what they said and i would like to make
00:12:47.460
another correction and i hate to are you disaffirming disaffirm you but i think it's actually
00:12:53.140
de-affirm okay sorry you've been officially de-affirm or de-affirm thank you okay i hate to
00:12:58.320
de-affirm you but uh uh there you know what you said you can say whatever your truth and it is truth
00:13:06.140
and that's not true there is truth stew and it's your truth and it's my truth but there are some
00:13:12.780
people that don't agree with that truth that we're getting from you know the experts and those people
00:13:19.720
should be shut up you know because they're not brave no they're nazis we de-affirm them we de-affirm
00:13:27.740
them thank you all right hey it's a great day on the glenn beck program i think we've just solved
00:13:32.440
another problem uh thank you so much ryan for uh being on the program this is the best of the glenn
00:13:39.200
beck program and we really want to thank you for listening senator mike lee how are you sir
00:13:44.820
i'm doing great good to be with you glenn yeah thank you i have a uh a rule that stew and i heard
00:13:51.600
about on a ruling uh this week that i want to talk to you i i got to get to that too um but first of all
00:13:59.540
have you heard about the strike of what is being called ukrainian drones hitting the uh the kremlin
00:14:08.800
blowing up last night didn't do any damage to the kremlin but they shot them out of the sky
00:14:14.360
and they said that it was an assassination attempt uh they were headed towards the presidential palace
00:14:20.600
yeah i read about this in the guardians just uh just before i took this call and um there's a
00:14:28.720
significant development we know very little i i don't know any more than what's been reported publicly
00:14:34.200
uh but that's certainly a significant development of that conflict uh raises all kinds of questions in
00:14:41.040
my mind as to uh what what kind of weapons were being used where they came from how they were
00:14:48.320
deployed and so forth but uh yeah this is a significant escalation in that conflict i mean if uh another
00:14:54.660
country sent a even a little drone with firecrackers in it uh and hit into our capital dome trying to
00:15:03.100
make even just a statement i would think that we were uh we would be uh closer to war footing in a
00:15:10.920
serious serious way would you agree with that yes uh yes one could certainly make that argument very
00:15:18.680
persuasively look at the point is that there really are consequences there are significant implications
00:15:24.980
that come from getting involved in what might be characterized as a proxy war through a third-party
00:15:30.540
nation uh when you do that um there can be consequences and so it's why this is cause for
00:15:37.960
concern we need to know more about how this happened how serious it was how close that came
00:15:43.120
um because this could have implications for american national security that's something we need to follow
00:15:48.600
so mike can i ask you a question it's probably a really stupid question uh for you um but so try not
00:15:56.600
to make me look so bad but where is my representation i know i elect congressmen and i elect senators and i
00:16:06.580
you know elect presidents and so i can vote but they are not abiding by the constitution um i feel like
00:16:15.640
most americans feel like wait we're going to war with russia what what is happening why are we doing
00:16:21.240
this nobody's even making the case um it seems like they're just there's a machine that's just
00:16:28.880
clicked on and no one can even question it i saw yesterday or i mean last week the president gave
00:16:35.820
a billion dollars to china just gave them a billion dollars and i thought did that go through congress
00:16:42.540
because that billion dollars is more money than uh like a whole town of people will ever give through
00:16:51.320
maybe three generations of of work where is the representation of the people on these things
00:16:59.580
yeah look um as you point out people are all over the place on this politically and there are those
00:17:09.200
in congress in the senate and of the house and in both political parties who strongly support the aid
00:17:16.580
that we've been providing to ukraine and want us to provide more there are others like me who have
00:17:22.760
significant concerns with the abu we've been providing to ukraine just uh in the last uh 10 days or so
00:17:30.340
um i sent a letter along with a handful of my colleagues in the house and in the senate expressing
00:17:38.120
brave concerns about what we're doing um this is a letter that on the senate side was signed by me
00:17:45.020
along with uh with senators jd vance of ohio and rand paul of kentucky and it was led by representative
00:17:52.060
eli crane uh and signed by about 15 congressmen on the house side and the letter says in part that
00:18:00.400
unrestrained u.s aid for ukraine needs to come to an end and that we plan to oppose future aid
00:18:07.740
packages uh especially if they're not linked to some clear diplomatic strategy designed to bring
00:18:14.560
the war to a rapid conclusion that's been our great concern glenn you wouldn't believe that
00:18:21.400
how much opposition there is to this very simple concept there oh i would people have just adopted
00:18:29.460
lock stock and barrel the assumption that this war is an unmitigated good that our support for this
00:18:36.840
war is an unmitigated good look i i don't like vladimir putin i am not a fan of russia uh i i also
00:18:45.440
know that russia has a lot of nuclear weapons i also know that uh that could cause problems for us and
00:18:51.420
our allies if we're not very very careful yeah and i also know i also know that um the ukraine is one
00:18:58.700
of the dirtiest most corrupt countries in the world and maybe 30 percent of our dollar is going to where
00:19:06.420
we're trying to get it to most of it is going to these these uh you know uh gangsters it's all going
00:19:16.360
to the elites and the gangsters over there and nobody even cares that's 70 cents on every dollar
00:19:23.500
i don't know i care about that yes and you should care about that and once it leaves our hands and
00:19:31.340
goes to another country it's very very difficult not just to control it but even to account for where
00:19:37.460
it went uh whether it's in ukraine or a lot of other countries but as you point out that there are
00:19:43.180
known problems within ukraine and especially during wartime you're probably gonna have even less
00:19:47.900
accountability than you would so you know mike we've solved this before in world war ii we sent
00:19:53.380
money to the arab uh countries uh for the war in the middle east and we sent uh money to hawaii
00:20:01.940
and when we did everyone had the treasury seal the ones in hawaii i can't remember exactly what they
00:20:09.780
were but one was like red uh the seal instead of that green seal and then the one in the desert was
00:20:16.440
brown and that way they could track where that money was going and they could also say that money
00:20:23.360
is worthless it's no good if it has a brown seal don't don't accept it as as money we can do it we
00:20:31.240
choose not to yeah we we don't do it and the sheer volume of money that we're talking about here is
00:20:38.620
itself independently cause for concern we're talking about 113 billion dollars that were appropriated by
00:20:43.680
congress last year alone for aid to ukraine put that in perspective glenn i'm told ukraine in a typical
00:20:50.120
year spends between four and five billion dollars on defense in an entire year and i'm told that in a
00:20:56.440
typical year russia spends about 65 billion dollars on defense so when we're talking about multiples many
00:21:05.480
multiples uh dozens of multiples of what they spend on defense in ukraine and close to double what
00:21:15.220
russia spends on defense in a typical year that makes us a very significant player in this conflict
00:21:21.660
and i fear sometimes that uh people aren't entirely grasping the extent of our involvement and hence the
00:21:28.500
extent of our exposure there what i wish we were doing is identifying a way to resolve this conflict
00:21:33.980
to bring it to an end what i wish we were doing is focusing on the fact that if we figured out ways
00:21:39.360
to get american oil and natural gas uh over to europe flood the european energy market with u.s
00:21:47.060
sources of energy yeah russia would play a less dominant role russia would have less money to play
00:21:54.140
with putin would have less capital uh to justify this conflict europe has laundered the oil they're buying
00:22:01.460
it through india and india is buying it from russia that's that's what's happening um let me switch
00:22:08.280
topics the white house is now thinking that maybe we don't even need to have a debt ceiling maybe that's not
00:22:15.100
even constitutional so we don't have to do anything the fed is going to raise the interest rates again they
00:22:21.640
are squeezing the american people they're squeezing the salt of the smaller banks and they're all being rolled
00:22:27.860
up into the fed banks that we're going to end up with maybe three banks five banks and they'll all be fed
00:22:34.440
banks uh and they're raising the rate yet again it seems and yet they say they have to do that for
00:22:44.260
inflation but they will not even make mention of the spending of the federal government all of us could
00:22:52.940
go on a spending spree with no limits on our credit card and we wouldn't begin to spend half of the
00:23:01.240
money that the federal government is spending on stupid things every single day yeah and this is
00:23:09.280
one of the reasons why i've got major concerns with jed with jay powell uh at the federal reserve look he
00:23:15.720
came to us throughout the covet disaster the covet nightmare and continued to reassure congress
00:23:23.300
that don't worry you're spending trillions of dollars more than you're bringing in each year
00:23:28.900
but this is not going to have a significant impact on inflation that has continued and they continue to
00:23:34.640
not warn the american people or congress or the white house about the very close connection between us
00:23:40.960
spending too much money and having inflation they don't talk about that they instead resort to the
00:23:47.740
federal reserve raising interest rates which by the way is itself even too little if you're going to
00:23:52.580
use that tool exclusively you'd have to go a lot higher than this with devastating consequences but
00:23:57.960
wouldn't it be nice glenn if congress just stopped spending more than we brought in yeah yeah i mean
00:24:03.540
i i heard schumer they don't want to do that i heard schumer say this is draconian these cuts
00:24:09.200
we're talking about going back to the spending of what 2020 how could that possibly be draconian
00:24:17.060
2022 which is still allowing for a rate of growth increase beyond that this is absolutely absurd
00:24:25.320
now glenn as to your point about the constitutional constitutionality of debt ceiling increases and
00:24:34.760
and debt ceilings this is science fiction fantasy that they have come up with i'll tell you what the
00:24:41.200
14th amendment says the 14th amendment says we can't default says that we have to honor the instruments of
00:24:47.460
u.s debt that we issue that is very different than saying we do not authorize the treasury secretary
00:24:54.040
to issue more instruments of debt more u.s treasury bonds
00:24:58.300
once you go beyond a certain level there is absolutely nothing in the 14th amendment that
00:25:06.040
justifies what they're doing and by even floating that theory they're engaging in lawlessness
00:25:11.860
is there a is there a way to make a deal i mean honestly mike i'm i'm to the point to where
00:25:21.240
this government is spending my tax dollars on things that my congressman doesn't even get a chance to
00:25:29.680
vote on doesn't even vote on them they just do it and where's my representation that's taxation
00:25:37.900
without representation they are putting my children into the poor house and everybody else is into the
00:25:45.800
poor house because the administrative arm feels it's the right thing to do and that congress is not
00:25:52.620
even consulted not even consulted that's right and look what's happening here is the democrats are
00:25:58.280
doing what they always do when they don't like the rules and they can't get what they want they try to
00:26:02.760
change the rules but you can't simply reinterpret the constitution to mean what you want it to mean
00:26:07.860
in order to achieve your policy objectives there is good news here the good news is that the house
00:26:14.140
representatives uh under the republican leadership speaker kevin mccarthy passed a really good
00:26:20.140
compromise package we had a lot of members of congress who have never voted before to raise
00:26:26.380
the debt ceiling who did so on this one because this actually would do some things to bring inflation
00:26:31.140
under control and bring federal spending under control so that we don't have to come back to this
00:26:36.240
well as often as congress frequently does that is the offer and they need to do that now i i'm
00:26:43.880
leading a letter uh being signed by a number of republican members of the senate and we're committing to
00:26:50.640
vote against cloture uh to oppose bringing debate to a close on any bill that would raise the debt
00:26:56.680
ceiling without significant substantive spending and budget reforms good is what the white house is
00:27:02.560
calling for remember is a so-called clean debt ceiling increase no strings attached no and and we're not
00:27:08.340
willing to do that and we can get 41 republican senators to send on to this letter and and to
00:27:14.040
agree to support this effort then it'll go a long way toward making clear that any debt ceiling increase
00:27:21.620
is going to have significant restrictions all right hang on just a sec do you have time to hang on for
00:27:27.160
five more minutes sure okay hang on five more minutes with mike lee um i got some questions about
00:27:33.180
what's happening with the supreme court and something that i'd never heard of until on this program a
00:27:37.960
couple of days ago and i don't know why we don't use this all the time the best of the glenbeck program
00:27:43.300
so uh we had a justice come out over the weekend and say i pretty much know i think uh who leaked the
00:27:54.020
dobb's case uh but i don't want to say then some internet sleuths were saying it's sotomayor uh is
00:28:03.820
there no way we can find out about this mike is there nothing that can be done there's a lot that
00:28:10.720
can be done look all that has to happen you need to reopen the investigation the marshal of the supreme
00:28:17.020
court needs to be directed to reopen it and conduct it with the help of deputized law enforcement
00:28:24.400
personnel from the u.s marshal service and they need to go back to all of these law courts and
00:28:30.960
make sure that every one of them participates in an interview i can guarantee they can find who this
00:28:37.180
person is this is ridiculous and and and the the statement that came out this weekend was this was an
00:28:43.280
attempt to get one of us killed this was an assassination attempt right right to either get
00:28:51.080
one of them killed or at least cause a reasonable fear yes among them that that they might be killed
00:28:56.620
and either way uh whoever did this was good with that if it meant that it would mean no doves majority
00:29:04.200
opinion as it was in fact issued but the day after this leak happened so the leak happened one year
00:29:11.280
ago yesterday the day after i was talking to our friend dan bongino and uh dan asked me essentially
00:29:19.260
the same question can they find this and i said dan you're a law enforcement guy if if i had access to
00:29:25.520
you and they let the two of us go in there and ask them we would figure out the right questions to ask
00:29:30.900
yes if we had access to all the law clerks we could figure out who did it i'm pretty sure it's a law
00:29:35.960
so you you think it's a law you don't think that it is a a supreme court justice member no no i don't i
00:29:42.840
think that's highly uh not just unlikely i think it's implausible huh okay i think it was a law clerk
00:29:50.120
and if we had access to the law clerks uh i told dan you and i could figure this out uh within 48 hours
00:29:56.680
okay because you go and you ask the right questions and you figure out who who might have
00:30:04.160
done it you ask each law clerk to describe circumstances who they're talking to uh you
00:30:09.420
get the the lay of the land so to speak among the law clerks it's not going to be that hard
00:30:14.840
it sounds to me like someone on the on the supreme court including my former boss just as lito might
00:30:20.320
well have figured out who it is or narrowed it down significantly at least it's not that hard to
00:30:26.100
figure this out i don't know why they conducted an investigation in the first instance that was
00:30:32.000
incomplete uh senator mike lee i'm i'm out of time now i can't get to the question that i had for you
00:30:38.260
but uh may i ask you back to answer this because it's a a rule i've never heard of and it just worked
00:30:46.660
on the on the atf on firearms and i don't know why we don't use it all the time about the sixth
00:30:51.640
circuit's ruling yeah on the rule of lenity yeah hang on i don't i talk about that you'll come back
00:30:56.960
to talk about that heck yeah yeah all right good thanks mike lee senator from the great state of utah
00:31:04.520
this is the best of the glenbeck program all right full disclosure before i get into this um
00:31:10.920
uh jace medical is a uh a sponsor of are you just blaze you're not radio too right yeah okay
00:31:19.120
um i i talked to these guys a year ago and they had what they put together was the jace case and it
00:31:29.280
has five different antibiotics in it and i thought that was really great because as we were talking i
00:31:36.200
said you know my daughter takes anti-seizure medication you know i'm on high blood pressure
00:31:41.880
and if you know anything at all about when the system breaks down your anti-psychotic drugs run out
00:31:50.900
in 30 days your blood pressure your anti-seizure all the things that are keeping people alive that
00:31:58.620
probably wouldn't have been alive you know a few years ago they all run out in 30 days
00:32:05.200
where are you going to get that that's the question i asked you guys a year ago and you
00:32:15.160
said ah we're working on it right so let me bring in dr sean roland he is the uh founder and ceo of
00:32:22.520
jace medical what are you bringing well as you mentioned this was it was yeah a year ago we've
00:32:29.880
been working on this for a while yeah um you know coming bringing to market the the antibiotics
00:32:34.260
um knowing that that was just really the the first step um and a very important step a vital step
00:32:42.220
but to your point uh everyone's out there dealing with with different personal conditions and so
00:32:48.920
finding a way to do our same service with the jace case which is our antibiotics being able to do the
00:32:54.820
same thing for chronic conditions so we're we're super excited we're here to let everyone know that that
00:33:00.960
that they can now go to jace medical.com they can get access to up to a year's supply of their
00:33:08.040
whatever chronic medication they take uh blood pressure thyroid seizure disorders uh there's there's
00:33:14.740
quite a list how expensive is it to buy to buy a year's worth i know my daughter's medication for her
00:33:22.660
anti-seizure it's like 700 bucks a month it's something outrageous yeah so that's a really good question
00:33:30.300
the it's so dependent on the actual medication you're taking some of them are pennies um some are
00:33:36.660
not and so so really it runs the gamut but what we've tried to do is basically make it as accessible
00:33:44.660
as possible but it's not just the medications you've got to pay for you've got to pay for the
00:33:47.520
physician visit um to have that encounter to get the prescriptions and then go to the pharmacy get
00:33:52.660
your prescriptions and have them sent out so packaging that all together um it turns out though that
00:33:58.000
it's it's probably a lot more accessible than people realize just because we're so used to
00:34:03.820
dealing with with insurance companies and co-pays and and we were just disconnected from the true cost
00:34:09.400
of the care that we receive um and so this we kind of have taken all that out and made it a much more
00:34:16.180
direct connection between between ourselves the patient and the physicians so you put together a list
00:34:21.920
here and i don't recognize any of these drugs i bet i'm on one of them uh uh full loxetine that isn't
00:34:29.680
that uh anti-depression medicine or not yeah it is that is one um and a 12 month supply is 60 bucks
00:34:38.180
that's great right yep there's some on there that uh it's you know 40 50 60 dollars uh you mentioned
00:34:45.720
some seizure medications those might get up there a little more yeah sure and right now this is limited to
00:34:50.460
to pills tablets um for the most part so so injectables aren't aren't yet on the list um insulin
00:34:59.240
which is a big request that we get and how do you solve that problem for how do you solve a how could
00:35:04.000
you even store it for a year though so if it's stored properly uh you do you do get you can in some
00:35:10.660
cases get up to a year uh of viability out of your insulin as soon as you take it out of the fridge it
00:35:16.380
kind of the clock starts ticking and you know you get your 30 days or whatever it is um so there is
00:35:20.840
a way to do it um and that's something that's a that's another one that that maybe we can come
00:35:25.060
back and talk about but that's another one that's in the works right um and how how are you i mean
00:35:30.580
because the government is so freaked out about every kind of pill now um and they're cracking down on
00:35:39.500
everything and you know they're creating all kinds of problems and shortages and everything else but
00:35:45.500
um do you have to have your doctor call in to you guys or what do you do right so the biggest thing
00:35:54.260
bringing up kind of regulations and you know we're our goal we want to empower people and we want to do
00:36:00.660
that through access access to physicians access to the medications at a reasonable rate and part of
00:36:07.440
this though is not everything's on the table it's not everything's an appropriate or safe option so
00:36:11.720
of course controlled substances just an immediate off the list there's no way i can get you a year
00:36:16.140
supply of your add medication or your pain meds um and so there's there's certain medications that
00:36:22.140
are just disqualified um right off the bat um so that's that's and that it's appropriate it's the
00:36:28.140
best way to do it yeah um we're talking about that would cause you all kinds of trouble yeah and it
00:36:32.600
would and yeah and i and i think again trying to balance access and empowerment with appropriateness
00:36:39.780
is is also really important for us and so you know when it comes to the to the controlled substances
00:36:46.160
that's just something that that we're not able to to to help with right now again though coming up
00:36:51.540
with some other got some things in the works in the works there um so really we're talking about the
00:36:55.900
legacy drugs these are these are your you've been on your blood pressure meds for 10 years
00:37:00.700
yeah uh you see your doctor regularly you're it's it's under things are under control you haven't
00:37:05.320
changed your dose you're a safe patient you're someone that i would that i as a physician would
00:37:09.320
feel comfortable knowing that you've got regular follow-up i'm going to give you a year's prescription
00:37:13.820
for this medication and why not and and that can be applied to a lot of different medications and
00:37:18.740
conditions um and they're all relatively i'm going to say low risk when you compare them to things
00:37:22.700
like opiates and things so that's where kind of regulatory wise um you know this it goes through
00:37:27.740
a board certified physician licensed in your state goes to a pharmacy that also is is is licensed
00:37:34.400
to do business in your state as well and so and the the jace case has uh what five flights of
00:37:43.020
antibiotics right so you've got five antibiotics in there covers really a quite a range of different
00:37:49.160
uh potential bacterial infections they were specially curated and selected because of the things they
00:37:55.360
cover you know we want to cover things that are common that might be common in a scenario where you
00:37:59.660
don't have access to medical care things like utis you know urinary tract infections or or sinusitis or
00:38:05.280
pneumonia we also want to cover things that are really deadly like a biotear attack you know if there
00:38:09.440
was a an incident of biotear and in your city some aerosolized anthrax which is one of the agents
00:38:15.320
that's been identified by the government plague plague is another one they're using i mean they're
00:38:20.220
yeah and don't worry anybody just you know in china the same lab they're just doing some experiments
00:38:25.620
with the lab i mean with the the black plague and and uh should work out fine well so there is there is
00:38:32.800
a treatment for that and prophylactic treatment that everyone would need to be on for example one of
00:38:37.140
the drugs that are in the kit is doxycycline so the idea is that you'd get the whole population
00:38:41.960
taking prophylactic doxycycline in the event of one of these attacks to prevent getting to prevent
00:38:46.900
the getting sick right um and so how that gets from the national stockpile into your hands as a
00:38:53.420
citizen uh in whatever city you're in i'm not sure how well that's going to go um we kind of saw how
00:38:59.000
the vaccine rollout went yeah things like that probably probably and you need to be and it needs
00:39:03.200
to happen within within 24 hours so probably not going to happen yeah so that's one of the ones we
00:39:09.540
include and we include it in an amount that would be appropriate for you to take which is two months
00:39:13.140
you've got to take that medication for two straight months and that's in the jace case wow i didn't
00:39:17.460
know it was two months yeah it's a long it's a long uh prophylactic and can you get it for each
00:39:22.820
member of your family so yeah and this is another one where we you know we're we need to operate
00:39:27.800
within these appropriate bounds and so right now uh this is for one it's for one person because it's
00:39:34.340
got to be prescribed to that person through the physician um and then age-wise we deal with we
00:39:38.520
basically it's adults but if you've got a minor if you've got a child that's 14 or older in your
00:39:44.020
family um they're basically going to be taking adult doses anyway so we'll do it for 14 and older as
00:39:49.600
well so it does leave a big portion um when you're talking about pediatric patients and those that are
00:39:54.160
younger and so that's another one uh i have to tell you that this is you guys are are you are you guys
00:39:59.860
preppers well i'm gonna say yes i guess preppers is like everyone there's such a there's such a range
00:40:06.920
i know i know i know i mean let me just say this you're worried about the supply chains you're
00:40:12.260
worried about things i could i could sit here for the next three hours and talk about about the dangers
00:40:17.460
the knives razors knife edge that we are on it's that is at its core why why i i did this uh is is
00:40:28.420
because of that because of living through pre-covid being in a hospital in a community hospital and
00:40:33.920
dealing with shortages at that time which was for me just like what is going on how how can this be
00:40:38.940
we stopped being um the america i know during covid for multiple reasons but one i i remember
00:40:47.460
people saying well we're out of that we won't have it for maybe six months and i'm like what the
00:40:52.540
yeah you mean well and that might work for your the the computer chip in your car you can get a car
00:40:57.900
you just won't have all the fancy thing or maybe you can wait a year for your for your stove to
00:41:01.500
to you know a new stove to install but that doesn't work for medications uh and if we if we go to war
00:41:08.340
china even just does a trade war with us don't they make like 18 uh 18 different ingredients that
00:41:16.480
we don't have access to like most of our drugs at least yeah all roads lead back to china when we're
00:41:23.300
talking about pharmaceutical supply even when you look at factories in india for example which is
00:41:29.280
another big supplier for world for the world not just for the united states we're in line with
00:41:33.280
everybody else for the world uh turns out and this happened over covid actually india's government
00:41:39.280
came out and and said for the first time because these are numbers that are really hard to find the
00:41:43.960
fda can't find them and the government's trying to figure out how can we get more transparency in the
00:41:48.040
supply chain india came out and said that around 70 percent of their active pharmaceutical ingredients
00:41:53.880
for their product for their manufacturing process come from china oh my gosh so so again kind of all
00:41:59.000
roads seem to lean lead back to china um certainly when we talk about generic medications which is 95
00:42:05.160
percent of what we take in the united states uh on a daily basis are generic medications virtually a
00:42:11.560
hundred percent of those are produced out of the u.s and mainly have some tie whether it's an ingredient or
00:42:17.880
outright manufacturing manufacturing manufacturing in china well it's good to talk to you i'm interested
00:42:25.080
to see how this is all going to work out um the uh i i want you to go to the then this is not a
00:42:31.720
commercial i i i was so excited when they talked to me about the jace case one of the first things i said
00:42:37.880
was what about all the people that are going to die in 30 days if the supply chain breaks down and they
00:42:43.720
said we're working on it and i i said when you guys have it you can come on the show because this is
00:42:48.600
the one piece of a prepper's job that has not been able to be solved yeah absolutely you've got your
00:42:56.120
food you got your water but without your health yeah just just america without its psychiatric uh meds
00:43:06.520
the the number of depression we have that are killing themselves now imagine in hard times
00:43:14.760
and no medication in 30 days you start to have it's terrifying oh well and some of them are
00:43:20.120
life-threatening the the specifically you're talking about some of the psychiatric psychiatric
00:43:24.360
medications those are ones you know if you stop taking your statin for your cholesterol you're
00:43:28.920
probably going to be okay for but you can get back on you've got some time right uh there's
00:43:33.000
those other medications specifically in that kind of psych realm and some others that you can't just
00:43:37.800
stop them cold turkey um there's there's going to be consequences um and you're right we just haven't
00:43:42.920
had a viable option uh to to protect yourself or your family protect your family now go to jace
