So it's not just the lawmakers. It's also voters expectations, because I'm sure, you know, Dr. Drew, you've seen people criticize. Oh, I don't want to. They're cutting too many government jobs. They're proposing too many to Medicaid. Well, that's part of austerity hurts. And when we saw the Greeks go through it, austerity hurts and it requires it's a tough road.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
But if you're serious about it and you really want long term sustainability, this is what it takes. And it's this is the reality of it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I think it would work. And I think he's one of the smartest minds that they have in the administration. I feel very encouraged that he's right there and has the president's ear because he gets it. He understands that. I mean, none of this is going to matter without deregulation and cutting spending.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And I also love that they're also kicking in more energy, domestic production with energy, you know, loosening up some of those regulations as well as part of this. So we can. You know, it's also a NatSec thing, too. But I mean, it's great that he's doing it. It's great that there are people who get it after four years of not having that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
So I'm excited and I'm glad that he's winning a lot of the inter-administration battles on this, too. I think that's important.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
That's everything that the government can do and what the government can't do. All the authority of the federal government is all listed in Article 1, Section 8. Anything that's not in that reverts back to the state.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
So all of the stuff with, I mean, as uncomfortable it is for some people to acknowledge, you know, education, all of these other things that are not included in there, if it's not kicked back, we don't need it. Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Oh, Chuck Todd, yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Oh, I've had such a problem with legacy press for so long. And with this, it's almost redundant, you know, Democrats in the media, because that's who they all are. That's why so many of them from these previous administrations go and they're either on ABC or they're on CNN or MSNBC, or they go to these like super far left think tanks and they run those and they go on the leftist speaking circuit.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I mean, they knew, we all knew. The thing about this is every single person in the United States have... has somebody in their family or they know of somebody that is dealing with like motor motor skill issues or neural or something, some kind of decline, cognitive decline.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And we see it and we saw it in Joe Biden as much as they wanted to try to hide that the window dressing of having very controlled press availability, not doing a lot of press conferences, even like when he would walk from the White House to Marine One and he had a flank of people around him. So you really couldn't see him walk.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
gate, you couldn't see if he was actually aware of what he was doing and where he was going. They did not an okay job at hiding that, but the press did the rest of the heavy lifting. And you're right. I mean, they were getting these thought control police in order.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I think there was another article that came out just this afternoon when I was on air that discussed how, yes, it went even deeper and the network was even wider than anyone had ever anticipated. The thought police and the way that they were trying to manipulate the tech bros into stifling everyone.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I had my account suspended how many times for talking about it before Musk bought it on X. I was demonetized on YouTube and I had stuff taken down on Facebook. If it wasn't about the laptop, then it was about questioning his cognitive ability. They did a horrible job at hiding it because the cover up is always sometimes greater than the offense. Right. We want to know more. What are you hiding?
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I mean, that's just kind of who we are. So people wanted to dig into it more and it just made it even more ridiculous. And all they had to do was I remember when they when they were trying to go after Reagan and saying that Reagan was unfit to lead because there was like a hint of Alzheimer's.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And that didn't even emerge until he was well out of the White House and he was all camped up at Rancho Del Cielo and way, way far away from making any decisions as commander in chief. But with Biden, my gosh, he falls up the stairs and they said it was, don't you make fun of his stutter. That's not a stutter. He literally fell with his purse. His feet don't stutter. That's not how that works.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
But they attacked everyone and they made you sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist for, as you said, just like noting what was happening right in front of your face. All of the disinformation and the info ops that they perpetrated upon the American people did so much. Wow. to damage our faith and our system.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And, you know, really in the people that are supposed to bring us the news, that's why nobody believed anything that was coming out about coronavirus because we couldn't trust the people that were telling us this stuff. It all is related.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Yep. Yes. And how sad is it that I wasn't surprised? I felt almost like ashamed of myself. Like, I'm not surprised. Oh, that means I'm getting used to this. I'm not surprised. That's kind of a bad thing, right? But that's how much we've taken of this. I love that it's all coming right. It explains a lot, but it's terrifying all at the same time.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Yeah. Valerie Jarrett, maybe. I mean, he was basically a continuation of Obama Biden. He was just continuing Obama's term. So I would imagine, you know, there's some of the same handlers in there. But that's a great question. I mean, you had I mean, for some of these most important calls, the shots being called, you know, he was he wasn't there. He wasn't. He could not have been mentally aware.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
He was not healthy enough to be aware of this stuff. I'll never forget the one press conference where he tried to... I can't remember the name of the lawmaker, but he tried to bring up the name of the lawmaker and was looking around the room. The guy was dead. Or the other time that he called another guy to stand up. The guy, you know, literally had cerebral palsy. He can't stand up.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
He's in a wheelchair. He can't stand up. I mean, basic... Social decorum. I mean, I get why they wanted to hide it so badly. But the idea that they were able to carry this out as long as they could and we just kind of expect everybody to tolerate it.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And then actually, you know, entrench it in our federal government to go after people and, you know, use the Patriot Act in some instances to kind of go after.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Exactly. Parents who spoke up at school board meetings, you know, if you are a suspected domestic terrorist, then, oh, look, all the old rules are out the window. We're going to go with these new rules under the Patriot Act, and we're going to supervise all of your actions in the interest of national security while we let a million people in at the border. That makes perfect sense.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
You want to think that your government does it better than everybody else's government. And that's why the United States is a world power. That's we all grew up thinking. And you don't want to have to. You don't want to not think that you you you want to think the best of your fellow man. Well, turns out you can't. Yeah.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
The one the word. I mean, I don't even know what her speeches are about anymore. The one where she was basically like reciting the lyrics of this land is your land and acting like it was an original speech. And then she cackles. I mean, what a disappointment. She's been groomed, though, from the early stages by the by Obama, by Valerie Jarrett, when she was in California, when she was a top cop.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And then she went to Senate. Everybody had high hopes. for her. And then as she got on the national stage, they realized, you know, she's miles wide and inches deep, not going to work out so well. I know she wants to run for governor. I mean, at least that's the rumor. It's not going to happen. Her career's done. But that's just an embarrassment.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It was an embarrassment, honestly, for me as a woman, that this is the woman who becomes vice president. And she's like held up as the standard for women in politics. Now we can do so much better as a sex. That's so sad.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It's yeah. It's a lot. I think it's a lack of self-discipline and she's not likable. She's not, she does not have like this very amiable countenance. She's just does not come across that way. Like. I can look at people on the other side of the aisle and be like, OK, you have a likable personality like Bill Clinton. I mean, Google the policy, but get a likable personality.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
You know, a lot of people may not like Trump, but he's got a likable personality. You can't say that about Hillary Clinton. You can't say that about Kamala Harris. J.B. Pritzker, he comes across as incredibly unlikable. She also has that unlikable quality and you cannot you cannot manufacture it. You can't focus group it and you can't hire enough people off K Street to make it real.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It never changes. It's that cackle. I can't even make that sound. It's like...
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
She's like a vaudeville villain. She's like, that's what you hear from somebody who's like standing at the railroad track, find somebody up, but not like a person at the podium, a very poor politician.
Ask Dr. Drew

twirling her mustache were she a male so what let's kind of wrap this up with uh what's on your radar now what are you worried about what's what are you thinking uh so i had a really good conversation today uh talking with the secretary of the army and uh the general of the army uh general george about drone warfare which fascinates me and i i'm really i i
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I find that, like, that was, I thought, a really great announcement that they came out with today. They told Doge, you don't have to Doge us, we're going to Doge ourselves. Because apparently in the military, you have a group of hardliners who just want to be a lethal fighting force and they don't want to be a social experiment and they just want to do what they need to do.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Save resources, save lives, accomplish the objective without mission creep, get out and get home. And you have a bunch of people who want to make a political fodder, you know, and just in nation build and drag us all over the world. So it was really good to see that transparency. They came out there like we're a little bit behind in some technologies. We're going to change that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
We're cutting spending. We're reallocating resources. We're going to streamline it and we're going to expand it. acquisition so that we can actually like start moving towards more modern warfare like drone warfare which i think is fascinating it changes like just like how stalingrad changed war fighting from you know armor divisions tanks and you know the old way of doing things to urban combat
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
This is changing the whole game as well. And it's interesting to see where it goes. It's a little frightening because we're a little bit behind. And I really appreciated the transparency that they had. And that's like one of the most positive things I've ever had to say about military leaders in like eight years. So that was nice to see.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
So following that, obviously, you know, the Mike Waltz stuff and then everything with cutting spending, all the stuff that we've been talking about, being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars.

Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Yes, would love it. Thank you, Dr. Drew. It's a real pleasure. I've watched you for so long. Love line back in the day.
Ask Dr. Drew

Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482

Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
There you go.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
Dr. Drew called me unfixable.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It's one of the craziest things. One of the weirdest proposals that I've seen from the Texas House in quite some time. So let me lay the groundwork here for your viewers.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And so we're seeing that kind of play out in the Texas House and in the Texas Senate. And we're really seeing that play out most recently with this House Bill 366 that you just mentioned. So the former Speaker of the House is a guy named Dade Phelan. This is how it started. Dade Phelan apparently went to the dais one night. They had a long day in Austin, and he was slurring his words.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And when he held up that big Acme gavel and banged it down on the ground, he almost lost his balance. And all of these memes erupted after that. They called him Drunk Dade. People made fun of him on radio. All of these memes all over Facebook and TikTok and Instagram and Instagram.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And I don't think he liked it very much because here we are not even a year later after that video and he's introduced this bill. And they say that it is about protecting, I guess, truth in advertising and protecting people from generative AI, which that's really not what the language of the bill says. gets into. It's not just about political advertising.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And it's really, the text is fairly short, I've read it. And they make it intentionally vague. So it's not about just political advertising. The nature of the language makes it to where technically, yes, it is actionable. They could go after people if they don't have a state approved disclaimer. on whatever image or video, et cetera, that they're sharing if it runs afoul of this.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And you're talking about potentially a year in prison and a hefty, you know, multi-thousand dollar fine. And they look at it as a misdemeanor. It's not in keeping with the First Amendment. I can't imagine that it would pass, you know, legal scrutiny. But that hasn't stopped them from proposing it anyway. So that's what's happening with us.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
I think yes and no. So the town that I live in in Texas, our county, and it's the largest, the last large red urban county in the United States. And there has been a major influx of Californians coming in here, which has somewhat altered the voting electorate a little bit.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
So when Beto O'Rourke ran, he actually got almost 2,600 more votes than Ted Cruz running against him in his last Senate race that he ran. And so it's a real it's a battleground. And it's it's it's the most was the most conservative county in Texas, one of the most conservative districts in Texas. So it has changed it somewhat. But some of these outlying rural areas are still pretty hardcore red.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
When you get around Austin and Houston and Dallas County itself, it gets it gets pretty murky.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
They get these Democrats elected to these or installed in these different committees, which is unthinkable.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
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?
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
People who, you know, wanted to lock everybody down for even longer than what was, you know, obligatory. already happening under COVID, these individuals are empowered and they're put in these hefty positions by people like Dade Phelan and others because they have the cash to throw around.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
They come in with a big bank account, a lot of name recognition, a lot of favors to call in, and so they protect their positions. It's really hard for citizens to go after them. It takes a lot of grassroot effort. And frankly, a lot of people don't follow what's happening in their state capital. It's way sexier to follow stuff federally.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It's a lot harder to watch what's happening in your own backyard. There's less attention for it.

Hands off my guns, pretty self-explanatory. Grace Canceled was kind of like right when, I guess, the woke school descendancy and the cancellation that we started seeing. I actually got inspired to write that book from Norm MacDonald. He was a friend. I never met him in person. We only ever talked in messages.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
And it was an interview that I saw him give on The View when he was sticking up for Roseanne Barr. And he was very contrite when he went on The View to the point where it disarmed everyone. They didn't quite know how to handle him. He was saying that he was sorry for past offenses. And at first I thought he was trolling them. And to see somebody who is such a powerful, wise ass like Norm Macdonald
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
in that position in front of all of those women in the view, it just struck a chord. And I kept thinking, these people don't want reconciliation. They don't want to mend fences and build bridges. They just want sheer and utter destruction. And so that's what started the idea for the book, because it's not about that. It's not about unity or cohesion.
Ask Dr. Drew
Dana Loesch: Insane Texas Law Threatens To JAIL Political Meme Posters & Criminalize Parody (Up To A YEAR In Jail) w/ David Zweig – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 482
It's about destroying your ideological opponent, not even persuasion, which I think is the biggest win that you could have. They wanted a lesser win, which was destruction. Persuasion takes too much.

Last question that he asked me was about gold prices. Really? He's asking me about price of gold. What do you think about that? It was weird little questions, but he was, he was a really nice guy. And I had told him, I said, I got inspired to write this video. Like you, you know, kind of kickstarted that whole line of thinking. And, you know, it was true.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I mean, if you're really good at messaging, it's really easy to get some of these purple state Democrats on your side to do this and use the power of the cudgel that is POTUS. I mean, nobody's better at putting heat on people than he is in a very dramatic public fashion. Kick that into gear and let's start taking names and going after some of these lawmakers that are holding all of this up.

Because what's gonna happen is if they don't do this, the economy, the pulling on the economy We knew it was going to be a little tough with the tariff war and all that. But without tax cuts, you know, the sequencing was a little concerning to me. Without tax cuts, you get basically a double taxation. You need a shot in the arm for the consumer.

If you're not providing that, then the polls are going to start tipping a little bit on the economy. It could bleed over into other things. Then before you know it, midterms, we're looking at losing the House, and then it's going to be impeachment palooza. It'll be a disaster.

A 77-year-old guy with a toupee who said he filed articles of impeachment for what, I don't know, the guy who left all the animals in the animal testing lab to die and then Huffington Post wrote that they had to agree on that guy.

It's hard for lawmakers to stay principled. There's a lot of special interest and a lot of reasons for them not to be once they get to D.C. And I think that's one of the things that some of the Doge folks are finding out. I mean, it's a tough fight, and I love that they're fighting it. I'm a little worried as we roll into midterms, to be honest.

There's a lot of debate about it. I had a conversation with Congressman Chip Roy, who has been fighting the increase in spending for some of these other programs, because the argument always is, well, if you cut taxes, that's spending, and you're going to have to make up for it elsewhere. Well, if you just cut spending, then you won't have to make up for it elsewhere.

I mean, there's so much ridiculous waste. If we just went back Ideally, if we went back to an Article 1 Section 8, that would be amazing and we would have a surplus. But nobody has the spine in Congress to do it. I mean, they're bristling at even incorporating some of the cuts that they're talking about. And that's what I've heard from numerous lawmakers in D.C.

They want to do it, but they also know that they're going to get beaten over the head about it in their own districts. Because a lot of these lawmakers, this wasteful spending comes in the form of contracts, you know, pork barrel spending, stuff that they win for their property. voters and they can't come back empty handed. They have to have something to show for it.
