Chapter 1: Who is Salty Cracker and why is he a popular guest on Ask Dr. Drew?
I was tempted to just say the salt must flow and drop my go to break, but I want to give him a little more. You can follow Salty Cracker on X at Salty Cracker 9. He's one of the most popular shows on Rumble, which over 300,000 followers, the Salty Cracker on Rumble, YouTube at Salty Cracker and saltmustflow.com. He is certainly one of our most popular guests and we are grateful when he comes on.
So let the salt flow. Our laws as it pertain to substances are draconian and bizarre. A psychopath started this. He was an alcoholic because of social media and pornography, PTSD, love addiction, fentanyl and heroin. Ridiculous. I'm a doctor. 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. I'm excited to bring you a new product, a new supplement, Fatty. I take it. I make Susan take it.
My whole family takes it. This comes out of, believe it or not, dolphin research. The Navy maintains a fleet of dolphins, and a brilliant veterinarian recognized that these dolphins sometimes developed a syndrome identical to our Alzheimer's disease. 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 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. Go to fatty15.com slash drdrew to receive 15% off a 90-day starter kit subscription.
Or use code DRDREW at checkout for that 15% off. Or just go to our website, drdrew.com slash fatty15. And I'm seeing on Rumble also just plain old Salty Cracker. So we are always grateful to have him here. We've got a lot to talk about today. Things are moving.
Please welcome Salty Cracker. Thanks, Dr. Drew. It's great to be back. It is great to have you back.

Chapter 2: What are the current media hysteria and scandals involving political figures?
So you've been... I caught up on a few things that you've been... Hmm... with lately. The media is melting down over many things. It's really interesting to see them try to get traction with things only to have it fail and they go with more hysteria at whatever next thing is on their plate. So we had the French called the SMS sort of scandal, the texting scandal. I think that's gone now, right?
Is that gone? Have they had enough of that?
Yeah, that whole first part of what you just said kind of sounded like it was going through Joe Biden's brain. Sorry about that.
I don't want any of that. But I was asking, essentially asking why the hysteria from one hysteria to the other. And are we not done with the texting hysteria? Texting scandal, so-called.
Is it texting scandal? No, I haven't heard about that one. Signal.
Signal. Signal, whatever. It was the SMS scandal. The Pete Hegseth signal scandal, yeah. You already forgot about it.
That's good. I mean, look at how fast this news cycle runs. They were all screaming that Donald Trump needed to be court-martialed and quartered and drawn. He was a war criminal. And that's already way out of the system at this point.
Right. But I mean, hearkening back to it, are you hearing me okay now? Am I clear or am I still going through Joe Biden's cerebral cortex? Okay. All right. So I would hate to do that to you. Must be very unpleasant, by the way. But it's just worth hearkening back to the hysteria that was just literally 10 days ago. I mean, maybe two weeks now. I guess it's two weeks ago.
And now there was the attempted and hysteria around Trump saying good time to buy before he put a stay on the tariffs. And then that hysteria just went away because they went on to, I don't know what they're on to right now. What's the latest hysteria?

Chapter 3: How are Donald Trump's tariffs and economic strategies impacting the market?
Well, speaking of economic advice, you were taking aim at a young lady who put out a couple-minute video. We're going to listen to about 30 seconds of it that I think is hysterical, okay? Thank you for putting that under a microscope. But I want to actually give her as kind a review as I possibly can. And still, yeah, but still. So let's listen to a couple minutes.
Yeah, let's listen to a couple seconds of her economic plan.
You know what? Okay, I know I'm insane and I know I'm the internet's favorite crash out. What I'm going to say right now is I'm not paying my debt anymore. What we're doing from this point forward is a debt strike 2025. If I have to do it alone and be insane, I will. I literally will. The fact that we would continue paying our debt, we can't stop paying our rent because that's too crazy.
It'll put a lot of people in harm. I'm sick of protesting. It does nothing. I don't want to go to war because look how skinny my arms are. We have to do something. I'm not paying my debt. You can join me on this or you cannot. I'm going to take a picture of and I'm going to keep records of the debt that I have right now because when the interest rates go up on that, I'm not paying those either.
Good luck. She goes on to advocate for free health care. And I forget some of the other stuff she was saying. I just want things. You need to give me things. And if you don't give me things, I'm going to stamp my feet. And she's essentially, in this little vignette we heard of her, she's stealing. She's committing a crime. She wants to steal from her debtors, from the people she owes money to.
She wants to actively steal from them. Okay, have at it.
Good luck in jail.
Yeah, so you've seen this line that they've been saying where, you know, I'm done. Protesting doesn't do anything. So that's why they're fine with Tesla being fireballed.
Well, yeah. But it's true. It's been true since 2016, this whole idea, resist. Back in 2016, I was like, resist what? What do you want? And if you go out with a microphone and talk to people on these resistance lines... They all say something different. They don't even know why they're there, and they've all been handed signs with certain slogans on them. It's all carefully organized and paid for.

Chapter 4: What is the debate around the 'debt strike 2025' and economic responsibility?
Yeah, I was going to ask you if you saw that. So they ask him to condemn. Isn't it funny? So they'll ask Trump to condemn the David Duke endorsement a million times, right? Or condemn what he said on the charlatan hoax thing. They do that for years. Condemn, condemn, condemn. So they've set the new rules for this condemn game.
And you ask Jasmine Crockett, you ask AOC, you ask Bernie Sanders, you ask Chuckie Schumer, you ask any of these people. walking around this elderly care facility that we call Congress. If you ask any of them, can you please condemn, oh, I don't know, the firebombing and the shooting up of Tesla dealerships, they go, no, I don't want to condemn that.
And then they turn around and they go, by the way, Elon Musk is a Nazi. I'm like, hold on, whoa.
Yeah, yeah. And when they call people Nazi, there's a logic to that that encourages violence. That's the thing. And I... I have met Nazis like maybe 10 years ago. I used to interview them on TV. I've not seen one since. And they're highly, listen, Nazis do not hide when they're Nazis. They have swastikas on their head and stuff. And they're nuts. They're absolutely crazy.
And they're in prison for the most part because they do crazy stuff.
Yeah, well, that's all programming. This person over here that I don't like is a Nazi. This person who's a political impediment to my means and ends, that's a Nazi. It gives them the open door to initiate violence because they've been programmed that the person that they're taking this violence out on is a Nazi. When in all reality, it's just somebody who's got a different political opinion.
But these people are... wildly dangerous at this point. And it'll be interesting to see if this FBI, this new DOJ, are we going to start arresting some of these people?
Yeah, I feel like there is more acceptance of exactly what you just framed, which was this idea like you can say it and be heard now that it's bad to be violent. It's bad to call people bad people because they differ from you politically, that this is a kind of a delusion. It's an act of... And by the way, this young lady, she nailed a couple of things. She said, I know I'm crazy. Yes, you are.
Number one. Number two, she also, what was the other thing she said? Oh, demonstrating doesn't accomplish anything. Got that right. You know, demonstrations, the stuff they glorify being in the streets, in the 60s is what they're fashioned themselves after. There were two very specific things. mandates of the demonstrations in the 60s. A, out of Vietnam now. B, equal rights amendment now.

Chapter 5: Why is the resistance movement critiqued as lacking clear goals or plans?
And it looks like they're the mass majority, but they're clearly not.
Yeah, it's interesting watching the so-called leaders sort of gin up crazy stuff too. So Tim Waltz out there going, hey, you start a business, good on you. But if you make a lot of money, you need to pay your fair share. You need to pay your taxes. I've never met a wealthy person or a business owner that didn't pay taxes. In fact, that becomes their whole thing.
task is to figure out a way to run their business with the encumbrances of the taxes and the regulation that in california this i mean this idea that rich people don't pay taxes no they pay all the taxes 90 of the taxes in california is paid by wealthy people 10 for everyone else not that they pay at a 90 rate they literally are responsible for 90 of the tax revenue in california
You can't sustain that forever. But they're still saying, they're still taking aim at people who go out and start a business or who work hard.
Yeah, it's the, you didn't build that mentality. It's back. And they're all screaming it again.
I'm sitting there. Go into that. Go, wait, wait. That's an interesting thing that you just put your finger on. What do you mean by they didn't build? I know what you mean, but you tell me what you mean by they didn't build that mentality.
Yeah, so there's an infamous, I don't know exactly what he was, I don't know if he was running for president or if he was running for re-election, but Obama was out there and he was saying, you know, if you're a business person and you're rich and you're successful, you didn't build that because the taxpayers paid for the road and taxpayers paid for the light and the sewage.
I'm sitting there going, yeah, don't put the The guy who built a business is a taxpayer, so he paid for it too. And the reason why you don't build roads into the middle of the desert, you build roads where people want to go, and that's where businesses are.
And so this notion of you didn't build it, it's straight out of, this is some communist rhetoric where it's fine to steal from these people because they didn't build their wealth. Their wealth has only been accumulated because they stole from you, the AOC base. Tim Walz is out talking still? Shouldn't that dude be embarrassed?

Chapter 6: How does the podcast discuss the labeling of political opponents as Nazis?
Because are they just going to be proven so wrong that it's just they'll just have to shut up? And I imagine that would take years. Or is this going to go on indefinitely? And I just don't get how this plays out. Of course, I've been saying this for years now. When the woke thing started, I kept saying, how long is this going to go on for? This is so detached from reality.
It can't go on so much longer. But I'm asking the same kind of question now of the current situation.
I'm hoping what we see is a, and it sounds weird to hope for, but a prolonged transitional period. And I think there's going to be some violence as well. And why I say that is because there is no amount of anything that you can show these people. It's not that they're saying Elon Musk is a Nazi. necessarily because the propaganda is so good that Elon Musk is a Nazi.
They're believing that Elon Musk is a Nazi because it fits their vision of the world. These are broken down individuals who've got a victim mentality and they're unable to produce and build in this world because they're broken down. They've got a victim mentality. And anything that feeds that
Even if it's horrible propaganda, like Saturday Night Live, it's supposed to be comedy propaganda pumped into their brains. They will devour it because it's that bias confirmation that they're looking for, that it's not their fault they're in a particular situation. It's somebody else's fault. So you're not going to show that person anything that brings them out into reality.
They're not looking for anything in it. in reality they want they want to continue ingesting it's not my fault stuff and so those people are a lost cause as far as i'm concerned and and that's the side that's being weaponized to be violent and so on on a long enough timeline if if if our voices get louder and we can reach more people before we they turn into victimhood mentality addicts
You can start showing them. There's never been a better time to start a business. Just not in California, obviously. With your phone, with a laptop, you can create a business. It's not going to be easy. It's going to suck. It's going to be hard, but My grandpa didn't have access to that type of stuff. I barely had access to that type of stuff.
And if we can show them that the keys to success are just the opposite of what they're being told, you're going to transition a whole generation of people out of this mess, and hopefully we can just ignore these raving lunatics.
And my hope for that is look at what Charlie Kirk is doing on these college campuses that are completely infested with this left-wing mentality from the professors all the way through the administration. Look at the crowds that dude is drawing on these places. You're starting to see people recognize that what they've been told isn't right.

Chapter 7: What is the nature of the coordinated violence and attacks on Tesla dealerships?
And you'll be happy to know we're going down to see our granddaughter tonight and I threw it in my suitcase. I'm remembering to bring it.
So there you go. I may have to buy it though because I'm so happy. I mean, I don't mind paying for these products when I need it, but But I do appreciate this.
Oh, another thing, by the way, TWC guys, now, listen, it's about being prepared, TWC. That's why we have those kits. The tariff stuff may throw off the supply chain, may throw off the cost of medication. Right now, you're still good with the emergency kits the way they've always been. I am so grateful to have mine. I want you to feel the same way.
You want to have these things on hand so you can take care of yourself and your family. All right, so we've got the Salty Army. We've got Mr. Cracker here. We were talking about the grievance culture that is out there and the fact that the current situation of organized violence and resistance, so-called, feels an awful lot like the COVID chapter.
And you sort of said it's organized, it's worldwide, it's globalist, blah, blah. My question is sort of twofold. Who? You have a theory. I mean, we easily just point at George Soros usually and you'll hit the target, usually. I don't know if that's who you're going to say it is, number one.
And number two, why isn't there, I mentioned earlier that there are potential maybe for some liability action against these people that organize these things. But I wonder whether it's not a RICO action. in terms of organizing crime.
Yeah, isn't it fascinating that when you organize some truckers to hit their horn, Canada can somehow find all the organizers of those peaceful protests and their dastardly jumpy houses and arrest them, throw them in prison, freeze their bank accounts. But when you've got an organized group of people going around telling people to keep Average everyday citizens' cars and blow-up Tesla dealerships.
You just can't figure out who's doing it. Meanwhile, there's only a handful of these places that are organizing these Tesla things. The same ones are organizing that stupid hands-off protest the other day. And none of them seem to be responsible. There's a whole bunch of things out there. where we never seem to get to the bottom of. I'm still waiting on that Epstein stuff.
You've got a woman in prison. Compel this chick to talk. No, they don't want to do any of this. COVID's all over the place, right? They tell you, no, it's just this is organic something from a penguin and then or pangolin, both pangolin having sex with a penguin. And then they go, oh, yeah, no, it was a lab leak. Well, then who's responsible? I mean, it's a lab leak.

Chapter 8: Who might be behind the organized political unrest and what are the implications?
And the further you get down or further removed from this elite group that's doing all of this, yeah, you're totally expendable. And that's why they'll just kind of shuffle around and they'll pull all the resources out of first world countries like this and sell them out on the way, destroy them, kill people while it's happening. I mean, the COVID thing is a perfect example of this.
We were, what, five years out of COVID? Has it been five years? And... Nobody wants accountability for this. I mean, they almost got blocking us down in medical martial law. And you're never going to, you certainly weren't going to protest out of that situation. And man, they got real close. And people are like, you'll see it on some of these comment sections. Oh, it was five years ago. Let it go.
No, no, I'm not letting that go. You killed a bunch of people. Your protocol killed a bunch of people. There's no... They're not walking away from this and just pretending it didn't happen. Five years ago? That's not that long ago. And somebody did this to us. Somebody, somebody, and now they're saying, oh, it was a lab leak. When you, you were going to, they take your law license.
They take your medical and your law license, Dr. Drew, if you said it was a lab leak five years ago. They banned you. They take everything.
Yes. Yes. Having a different opinion meant cancellation. It was guillotines. Guillotines were out. That was the modern guillotine. And, you know, as you're talking, I'm thinking about the things that bother me most that Dr. Fauci did or said. And you know what bothered me the most? This is going to sound odd, maybe.
But when he got up and he was getting out there in the White House briefing every day, and he finally goes, he goes, look, you're going to have to get used to the fact that you have to stay away from people. You can never shake hands again. You're going to have to get used to that. There'll be no handshaking, no hugging. And that's the way it's going to be.
He felt entitled to tell people how to live their life to such an extent. I'm going to tell you how... what the human experience is going to be from now on, he was saying. He wasn't just saying for COVID. He was saying, this is how I always thought handshaking was a bad idea. We got to get rid of it. And he said stuff like that. That is fucking awful.
I don't want to tell anybody how to interact with another human being, even if it's dangerous. I would like you to educate them if it were dangerous. That's fine. But telling them, I'm telling you this is how it's got to be, We should be disgusted by that. It should have been one of the most disgusting experiences. And like you were saying, we should be demanding an apology.
I look for every opportunity to apologize for things I get wrong, just to model what we should be hearing. And yet I don't hear from anybody on that side of the equation.
