Steve Hilton walks PBD through California’s high‑speed rail “bridge to nowhere,” how Newsom’s project ballooned from $30 billion to $231 billion, still has no track, and is now funded by hidden cap‑and‑trade taxes — all while Californians pay more for gas, energy and fantasy trains.

Dr Paul Saladino says modern anxiety is supercharged by doom scrolling, porn, gaming and constant comparison on social media, which keep people mentally stuck in an imagined future instead of reality. His first two prescriptions are simple but non negotiable: fix diet to stabilize biochemistry and get into real nature regularly so the brain can reset by seeing mountains, oceans and stars instead of only screens and walls.

Dr Paul Saladino shares how he plans to talk about faith with his future kids by taking them into nature rather than starting with labels or arguments. He explains that the simple experience of feeling beauty in an ocean, mountain range or forest, and the biological reality that living things resist entropy and decay while dead matter falls apart, are what convince him there is some kind of animating force or “something bigger” behind life itself.

Patrick Bet-David and Dr Paul Saladino react to Charles Barkley’s claim that he dropped about 85 pounds on a GLP‑1 drug similar to Mounjaro, going from the mid 350s down to the 260s in his early 60s.
