In this provocative and legally focused episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx tackles a question rarely asked in public discourse: Should judges be held accountable—up to and including malpractice—when their decisions directly lead to harm?
Using a horrific case from Chicago’s Blue Line—where a 26-year-old woman was severely burned after a repeat offender was released despite an extensive criminal record—Dr. Marx argues that the justice system failed at its most critical checkpoint: judicial judgment. Drawing parallels to medical, dental, and legal malpractice standards, he makes the case that appointed judges should not be immune from consequences when they ignore evidence, precedent, and public safety.
A young woman is set on fire in a brutal attack.
The accused had 72 prior arrests and 19 felony convictions.
Just days earlier, a judge declined to detain or institutionalize him—despite clear evidence and a violent assault on a social worker.
Dr. Marx calls the outcome “preventable.”
Judges are not there to satisfy prosecutors or defense attorneys—they are there to judge evidence.
In this case, the evidence was undisputed: violent behavior, extensive criminal history, and clear risk.
The judge’s rationale—“I can’t put everyone in jail”—is, in Dr. Marx’s view, a fundamental misunderstanding of judicial duty.
Dr. Marx outlines how malpractice works in medicine—and why the same framework could apply to judges:
Standard of Care: What would a reasonable professional do in the same position?
Breach: Ignoring overwhelming evidence and risk.
Harm: A violent act resulting in catastrophic injury.
Accountability: Doctors, nurses, dentists, and lawyers face malpractice—why not judges?
He proposes that appointed judges carry malpractice insurance and be subject to civil action when decisions cause foreseeable harm.
Judicial immunity has historically shielded judges from civil liability.
Dr. Marx argues that immunity should not cover gross negligence or reckless disregard.
“Nurses don’t make a lot of money either,” he notes, “and they still carry malpractice insurance.”
Dr. Marx reflects on Chicago’s long history of political patronage.
Argues that merit-based appointments, not ideology or identity, must determine who sits on the bench.
Calls for higher credentialing standards for judges—comparable to board certification in medicine.
Vote for leaders who prioritize merit and accountability.
End appointment systems driven by patronage or ideology.
Demand transparency and consequences when judicial decisions cause real-world harm.
“Judges judge evidence—not excuses.”
“If a doctor made this decision, there would already be a lawsuit.”
“Immunity should not protect incompetence.”
“Standard of care doesn’t end at the courthouse door.”
Understand how judicial discretion can directly affect public safety.
Learn how malpractice standards work—and why they could apply beyond medicine.
Recognize the risks of unchecked judicial immunity.
Advocate for merit-based appointments and real accountability in the justice system.

In this blunt and emotionally charged episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx responds to a deadly ambush in Washington, D.C., where two National Guard members were shot—one fatally—by an assailant who entered the country under failed vetting procedures. Using the tragedy as a backdrop, Dr. Marx condemns what he sees as reckless political rhetoric that, in his view, endangers service members and law enforcement by encouraging defiance of lawful orders and demonizing those tasked with public safety.
Speaking as a former military officer with more than two decades of service, Dr. Marx argues that words from elected officials have consequences—especially when directed at people in uniform who are bound by lawful command structures. His message is pointed: leaders must understand the weight of their words—or step aside.
Two National Guard members ambushed on federal land; one killed, one critically injured.
Dr. Marx places responsibility on systemic failures in vetting and enforcement.
Emphasizes that such violence “never should have happened.”
Critique of public statements urging troops and agents to disobey “illegal orders” without specifying what those orders are.
Dr. Marx explains the real-world risk to service members who follow such advice: court-martial, loss of career, and personal ruin.
Clarifies the role of the National Guard: patrol and report, not arrest.
Dr. Marx addresses several high-profile figures, arguing their language has crossed from debate into danger by invoking terms like “fascist” and “Gestapo” without basis. He asserts that:
Such rhetoric misrepresents law enforcement and military roles.
It fuels hostility toward people performing lawful duties.
It can incite unstable individuals to violence.
Dr. Marx affirms First Amendment protections—but stresses that speech still carries responsibility.
“We can brush it off,” he says, “but the unhinged don’t.”
Draws a direct line between inflammatory language and real-world harm.
Support accountability at the ballot box.
Donate to and campaign for alternatives who prioritize public safety and measured discourse.
Demand clarity, accuracy, and restraint from elected officials.
“If I had disobeyed an order, I’d have been court-martialed—no politician would’ve saved me.”
“Words have consequences. For the unhinged, they can be a trigger.”
“Free speech isn’t a license to endanger people in uniform.”
Understand the difference between lawful command and political rhetoric.
Recognize how demonizing language can escalate threats to public servants.
Hold leaders accountable for accuracy and responsibility in their statements.
Engage civically—vote, organize, and support safer, steadier leadership.

In this sharp, humorous, and deeply insightful episode, Dr. Robert E. Marx zeroes in on a single word that explains decades of bad predictions, broken promises, and overhyped scientific claims: gullibility.
Triggered by Elon Musk’s recent claim that AI-powered robots will outperform surgeons within five years, Dr. Marx dissects the long history of “five-year miracles”—from dental vaccines to cold fusion to climate disaster predictions—and explains why humanity keeps falling for “the carrot at the end of the stick.”
Neil Haley introduces the upcoming 2026 debate-format episodes, where Dr. Marx will spar against hot topics—including surgeons replaced by AI and intermittent fasting—setting the stage for lively, fact-based arguments.
Dr. Marx responds bluntly:
“Elon, you’re out of your lane.”
He explains why human surgery cannot be reduced to algorithms.
Flexibility, nuance, improvisation, anatomy, and real-time judgment are beyond current robotics—even at Musk’s scale.
Predicts robots may handle minor procedures in a controlled environment—but replacing surgeons? “Not even close.”
Dr. Marx revisits decades of grand promises that never materialized:
A dental school professor confidently told his class tooth decay would be eliminated in five years.
57 years later? Still waiting.
Judah Folkman’s anti-angiogenic research was hailed by USA Today as “a cancer cure within five years.”
Reality: Helpful treatment, not a cure.
Supposed to end fossil fuels in five years.
Result: Zero replication. Zero results.
From Gore to Sanders:
No Arctic ice by 2015
Earth uninhabitable by 2030
“Category Six” super-hurricanes
Dr. Marx reminds listeners:
“We just had a season with zero hurricanes hitting the continental United States.”
The Da Vinci robot revolutionized prostate surgery—but only with a skilled human surgeon at the controls.
Robots cannot yet replicate tactile feedback, visual intuition, tissue variability, or unpredictable surgical anatomy.
Could robots remove a cyst, an appendix, or a gallbladder someday? Yes.
Replace surgeons? “Maybe in a century—but not in five years.”
Dr. Marx explains the timeless trick:
If the “carrot” is too close, people lose interest.
If it’s too far, they give up.
If it’s five years away, it’s perfect.
Just long enough to believe.
Just short enough to hope.
It’s marketing psychology, not science.
With respect—but unmistakable bluntness—Dr. Marx sends a challenge:
“Elon, you’re brilliant. But you underestimate the human mind, the human hand, and the human heart.
If you want to bet on your five-year prediction… name your price.”
“Every miracle breakthrough seems to arrive in five years—except it never does.”
“Robots will help surgeons. Replace surgeons? Not even in the same galaxy.”
“Human anatomy doesn’t follow computer rules.”
“We are gullible enough to fall for the same story every generation.”
Be skeptical of big promises with small timelines.
Understand the difference between assistance and replacement in medical AI.
Recognize historical patterns of hype repeating themselves under new brands.
Know that innovation takes decades—not promotional cycles—to mature.

In this explosive episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx takes listeners into one of the most anticipated and sensationalized topics in modern media: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein Island, and the imminent release of redacted records.
But unlike the sensational commentary circulating online, Dr. Marx uses logic, motive, psychology, and decades of academic and military experience to explain why the upcoming disclosures will not deliver the bombshells the public is expecting—and why both political parties may end up empty-handed.
Alongside Neil Haley’s teaser for an upcoming “debate format” segment for early 2026, Dr. Marx addresses the real human, financial, legal, and political dynamics surrounding Epstein Island—and why the truth may be far more mundane than the headlines claim.
Epstein’s connections across Democratic elites and global power players.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s role as recruiter, companion, and facilitator.
Why wealthy men would participate at all: anonymity, power, and access—“because they could.”
Many girls believed they were meeting celebrities, not entering sexual arrangements.
The majority sought opportunity, glamour, or income—not exploitation at first glance.
Court testimony from Virginia Giuffre and Johanna Sjoberg contains far less sexual detail than the public assumes.
No confirmed sworn statements tie Trump, Gates, Copperfield, Michael Jackson, or Clinton to sexual acts—only to presence or association.
Democrats
Desperately hoping for links to Donald Trump after years of failed attempts to “get him.”
Problem: Trump’s last documented interaction with Epstein was in 2004.
Multiple accusers deny ever seeing Trump engage in misconduct.
Republicans
Hope the release backfires and exposes Democrats who sat on the documents for four years during the Biden presidency.
Names like Hakeem Jeffries, Bill Clinton, and Larry Summers appear in emails or association—but nothing criminal so far.
Bottom line: Both sides are hoping for a political nuke. Neither will get it.
Dr. Marx explains three reasons the public will be disappointed:
Victims’ names, identifying details, ages, and specifics will be heavily blacked out.
All major victims have signed NDAs and settlement agreements involving millions.
Breaking silence could:
void settlements
invite lawsuits
destroy credibility
or even endanger their safety
No one will risk that.
Without explicit sworn testimony saying:
“Yes, I had sex with ____, and I was underage,”
there is no story, no charges, and no political explosion.
“Everyone wants a smoking gun. There won’t even be smoke.”
Dr. Marx compares Epstein Island fallout to the Ted Kennedy – Mary Jo Kopechne scandal, where a young woman died, yet the political world moved on with barely a whisper.
No lawsuits.
No consequences.
No transparency.
Silence bought the truth.
He predicts the same outcome here: “It will go silent in days.”
Media wants salacious content; none will exist.
Victims will remain quiet due to legal agreements.
The public wants Hollywood-level scandal, but reality is far more mundane.
Photos of celebrities with young women prove nothing—“people take pictures with me at medical lectures all the time.”
“You're expecting fireworks. You're going to get a wet match.”
“Follow the money—that’s where the truth always hides.”
“If one victim raised her right hand and testified, this would be over. She won't. None will.”
“It will be a lot like Chappaquiddick: a scandal everyone talks about, and then everyone forgets.”
Don’t expect the Epstein files to reshape politics—they won’t.
Understand the legal and financial machinery preventing disclosures.

In this fiery episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx returns to one of his most controversial topics—climate change, which he calls “the climate change hoax” and “the CO₂ fraud.” Timed to coincide with the United Nations’ COP30 conference in Brazil, Dr. Marx dissects the global climate industry, the political incentives behind its messaging, and the repeated failures of climate predictions that never materialize.
From debunking hurricane forecasts to highlighting hypocrisy from activists flying thousands of miles on CO₂-spewing jets, Dr. Marx argues the entire climate agenda has unraveled under its own weight. His message for listeners: follow the data, not the fear.
UN’s 30th “Conference of the Parties” once again blamed fossil fuels for global collapse.
Third-world leaders demanded “climate reparations,” insisting Western nations owe them cash for floods, droughts, and famine.
Dr. Marx notes these drought cycles existed hundreds of years before industrialization, and poor land management—not CO₂—drives most crop failures.
Global enthusiasm is fading as both the U.S. and EU cut climate-funding waste under financial pressure.
A group of ~15 Canadian physicians performed a “cringe-worthy rap” at COP30.
Dr. Marx: “White people should not do rap. We don’t have the genetic capability.”
The bigger issue: their round-trip flights from Canada to Brazil generated more CO₂ than the average American produces in a month.
Calls out the same hypocrisy that characterized Al Gore’s private-jet climate crusades.
Dr. Marx breaks down the NOAA and AccuWeather predictions vs. reality:
13–19 named storms
“Above average” activity
6–10 hurricanes
3–5 major hurricanes
Warnings of “possible Category 6” storms
Fear-driven headlines
Two significant hurricanes
Zero storms hit the continental United States
One Category 5 storm didn’t hit land at all
Most storms began in the Caribbean Basin, not Africa
Predictions were fundamentally wrong
Dr. Marx notes 18 of the last 20 years were predicted as “above average”—a mathematical impossibility.
Sea surface temperature readings are essentially guesswork due to constant upwelling of cold water and complex ocean currents.
Vertical wind shear predictions are unreliable and tied to chaotic La Niña cycles.
African monsoon predictions (the key to Cape Verde hurricanes) are unpredictable.
Climate models “fudge” weaker tropical depressions into named storms to inflate statistics.
According to Dr. Marx:
Agencies like NOAA and climate-dependent organizations rely on catastrophic forecasts to justify large budgets.
“If you predict doom every year, you guarantee funding.”
Fear equals money, power, and job security.
“Every major climate model has been wrong for 30 years.”
“How can 18 of 20 hurricane seasons be ‘above average’? That’s mathematically impossible.”
“If you have to fly 5,000 miles to a climate conference, don’t lecture me about CO₂.”
“AccuWeather, you’re not accurate. And you know it.”
Climate predictions routinely fail because they’re based on flawed models and political incentives—not science.
Media fearmongering keeps the climate industry alive.
Look at results, not rhetoric—2025 saw virtually no U.S. hurricane impact despite catastrophic forecasts.
Hypocrisy is rampant: climate elites create more CO₂ in a week than average Americans do in months.

This episode reflects the opinions of the hosts and guests. It evaluates publicly available climate forecasts and media reporting as of November 21, 2025. Listeners are encouraged to review scientific data independently and draw their own conclusions.
In this highly charged episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx takes on the contentious topic of DEI—Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion—and asks whether it has helped or harmed American institutions. Using examples from professional sports, medical academia, and corporate America, Dr. Marx argues that DEI is fundamentally incompatible with merit-based systems and has produced more division than diversity.
Drawing from his decades-long career as a professor of surgery at the University of Miami, he recalls how the medical school quietly replaced its historic mission statement—Research. Education. Patient Care.—with the new DEI doctrine. And he shares firsthand how DEI-driven hiring choices backfired within his own department.
Using the NFL, NBA, and NHL as case studies, Dr. Marx asks the central question: If DEI cannot be applied to sports without destroying excellence, why should it be imposed on medicine, corporations, and schools?
A Monday Night Football Wake-Up Call
Dr. Marx analyzes player introductions from a recent Eagles–Packers game:
20 out of 22 starters on one team were Black.
17 of 22 on the other team were Black.
Virtually zero Asian athletes, zero “representation balance.”
The NBA & NHL Comparison
NBA: ~90% Black athletes.
NHL: overwhelmingly white, largely Canadian, Russian, Scandinavian—with one notable Asian player (Nick Suzuki).
Dr. Marx’s point: Sports thrive on merit—not enforced representation.
DEI Hits the Medical School
University of Miami Medical School replaced its mission statement with DEI language.
A DEI-celebrated hire—a new female Hispanic chair of surgery—became, in his words, “a catastrophic leadership failure,” dissolving divisions and leading to her removal and breakdown.
“Merit was replaced with ideology, and the patients paid the price.”
Why Sports Aren’t Asked to Follow DEI
Because it would immediately reveal DEI as unworkable.
“Nobody wants LeBron James replaced by an Irishman for ‘equity.’”
College football players now earn millions through NIL—proving athletics is a corporation, not simply a pastime, making the lack of DEI requirements even more telling.
DEI’s True Origin: Affirmative Action Repackaged
Dr. Marx argues DEI was designed to guilt white Americans into accepting lowered merit standards under the label of “equity.”
Predicts the ideology will continue collapsing during the current political realignment.
The Success Stories That Disprove DEI Logic
Oprah Winfrey
Barack Obama
Al Sharpton
Countless African American, Hispanic, and Asian Americans succeeding without DEI or affirmative action.
“America rewards competence—not color.”
“Sports showed us the truth: DEI collapses the minute merit matters.”
“Affirmative action didn’t disappear—it got repackaged as DEI.”
“The country doesn’t need diversity programs; it needs competence.”
“If DEI is so valuable, why is the NFL exempt from it?”
DEI is selectively applied—never where it would harm performance or profits (sports, entertainment).
Merit works; forcing equal outcomes does not.
Excellence in medicine, science, and education requires qualification, not demographic quotas.
Cultural pressure—not logic or results—drove DEI into institutions where it does not belong.

In this urgent and eye-opening episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx breaks down America’s ongoing fentanyl epidemic—from its chemistry to its cartels—and challenges conventional narratives about who’s really responsible. Drawing on decades of medical experience as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who has safely used fentanyl for anesthesia, Dr. Marx explains exactly how the drug kills, why its abuse has exploded, and what can be done to stop it.
He traces the supply chain from Chinese precursor chemicals to Mexican cartel manufacturing to U.S. street distribution, but ultimately directs the spotlight home—on American users, celebrities, and a permissive culture that normalizes drug use. His message is clear: if there were no demand, the supply would vanish.
Understanding the Drug:
Fentanyl’s legitimate medical use: a powerful anesthetic often paired with sedatives like Valium and Propofol (famously linked to Michael Jackson’s death when misused).
How it kills: fentanyl suppresses the respiratory center in the brain, removing the body’s natural drive to breathe—causing quiet, sudden suffocation.
Dr. Marx shares a personal story from his residency when he volunteered as a test subject and felt “annoyed at having to breathe”—a firsthand understanding of fentanyl’s danger.
The Supply Chain:
China: provides precursor chemicals essential for synthetic opioid production.
Mexico: cartels manufacture cheap counterfeit pills and powders disguised as legitimate drugs.
The Border: vast geography makes total enforcement nearly impossible—despite tighter control in Texas, fentanyl still crosses via Baja California and the Sea of Cortez routes.
The Distribution Network:
U.S.-based distributors lace fentanyl into counterfeit Percocet, Xanax, and even marijuana edibles, creating unpredictable doses that can kill instantly.
Prosecutorial leniency and cashless bail policies, Dr. Marx argues, allow repeat offenders back on the street to continue selling poison.
The Hard Truth About Demand:
Dr. Marx names the cultural enablers: celebrities glamorizing drug use and parents failing to monitor their teens’ behavior.
References the tragic deaths of Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, John Belushi, Kurt Cobain, and others.
Argues that “Hollywood’s high” has become America’s low, creating a social acceptance of drug experimentation among youth.
The Prevention Mindset:
The simplest solution: education and accountability.
“Don’t take any medication that didn’t come from a pharmacy bottle with your name on it.”
Encourages programs like Turning Point USA to integrate anti-drug education into youth outreach.
“Fentanyl doesn’t make you stop breathing—it makes you stop wanting to breathe.”
“This isn’t just a border problem—it’s a culture problem.”
“If there were no buyers, there would be no dealers.”
“Half of Hollywood is addicted, and the rest pretend not to be.”
Understand fentanyl’s real mechanism of death and why even micrograms can be fatal.
Recognize the global chain of responsibility—from labs to dealers—but remember, demand drives it all.
Teach kids and young adults: never take medication not prescribed and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
Shift from sympathy to prevention—crying over tragedy won’t fix what education can prevent.

In this episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx steps away from medical topics to tackle a heated national debate: criticism of the 250th Anniversary Parade of the United States Army following the successful B-2 bomber strike on Iranian nuclear sites.
Drawing from his 22 years of military service—13 active duty and 9 in the reserves—Dr. Marx defends the parade as a celebration of sacrifice and patriotism, not a political vanity project. He addresses remarks by Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and columnist Peggy Noonan, arguing both misread the event and, in doing so, disrespected the men and women who have fought and died in America’s eight major wars.
A Veteran’s Viewpoint
Dr. Marx describes the precision and courage behind the Iranian nuclear-site bombing mission, crediting the U.S. military’s coordination and training.
Explains why dismissing the mission’s success as “only a temporary setback” to Iran is both inaccurate and politically motivated.
Calling Out Critics
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: accused the parade of being a Trump publicity event. Dr. Marx counters that it honored 250 years of the Army’s history and aimed to boost recruitment after record lows.
Peggy Noonan: compared the parade to Soviet May Day marches. Dr. Marx methodically dismantles that comparison—no missiles, no goosestepping troops, no show of aggression—just gratitude and remembrance.
A History Lesson in Patriotism
Reviews America’s eight declared wars—Revolutionary War, 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam—and the conflicts that followed.
Notes how many Americans, especially younger generations, “have forgotten what those sacrifices secured: the very freedom that allows people to criticize the military.”
Freedom of Speech and Responsibility
Acknowledges that critics are exercising the rights protected by the same soldiers they demean.
Warns against partisan blindness: “Prejudice blinds you to truth. The Democratic Party’s reflexive opposition to everything Trump does is a danger to reason itself.”
Why Patriotism Still Matters
Argues that flag-burning, identity politics, and apathy have eroded national unity.
Calls for a “reset of priorities” and renewed appreciation for the U.S. Armed Forces.
“The Army parade was not a show of power—it was a show of gratitude.”
“Prejudice blinds you to truth. It’s time we start seeing through the fog of partisanship.”
“That Army they criticize is the reason they have the freedom to criticize at all.”
Understand the difference between military celebration and political spectacle.
Recognize the historical significance of the U.S. Army’s 250-year legacy.
Appreciate that freedom of speech must coexist with respect for service and sacrifice.
Question partisan narratives that distort patriotism for political gain.

In this moving and medically fascinating episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx reads the first full chapterof his acclaimed book, 28 Life-Changing Patients: Chronicles of an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon. The story—titled “The Air Force Officer”—takes listeners back to the earliest days of Dr. Marx’s surgical career and tells the powerful true account of a young pilot whose failed suicide attempt left him without a lower jaw.
Through compassion, skill, and determination, Dr. Marx and his Air Force surgical team performed a groundbreaking jaw reconstruction using bone marrow harvested from the hip—an innovation that would go on to change reconstructive surgery worldwide. Fourteen years later, the once-despairing airman was flying again, working as a professional aerial photographer and rebuilding his life, proving the book’s central message: surgery can change more than anatomy—it can change destiny.
From Residency to Responsibility:
Dr. Marx recounts his training years at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami under the mentorship of Dr. Stewart N. Klein, a former Hall of Fame football player turned surgeon.
Anecdotes from the 1970s Miami trauma era, where “gunshot wounds and knife injuries were part of daily rounds.”
A Desperate Patient:
A 23-year-old Air Force pilot, devastated after failing flight school, shoots himself under the chin—destroying his lower jaw but surviving.
Dr. Marx’s first major reconstructive challenge as a young faculty surgeon at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Innovation Under Fire:
The case sparks a turf battle: “a dentist shouldn’t be operating on the hip.”
Dr. Marx successfully defends his credentials before an eight-member Air Force surgical committee, introducing his novel posterior hip bone marrow harvest technique for jaw reconstruction.
The surgery proceeds flawlessly, with an orthopedic surgeon observing—who later congratulates Dr. Marx and his residents mid-procedure.
A Surgical Breakthrough:
The stainless-steel mesh tray design—crafted by the Air Force Dental Lab—serves as a mold for new bone formation.
Within six months, x-rays show solid bone growth, and a full denture restores the officer’s function and confidence.
Fourteen Years Later:
The once hopeless young man, now featured in the San Antonio Express-News, flies daily across Texas as a certified aerial photographer.
His transformation becomes a symbol of what reconstructive surgery—and perseverance—can achieve.
“Listening to a patient is the first surgery you perform—before you ever pick up a scalpel.”
“Bone marrow isn’t just tissue; it’s life waiting to rebuild itself.”
“We didn’t just reconstruct his jaw—we restored his mission, his purpose, and his will to live.”
Discover how compassion and innovation converge in military medicine to save lives and futures.
Learn how oral and maxillofacial surgery bridges medicine and dentistry in treating catastrophic facial injuries.
Appreciate the origins of techniques—like bone marrow grafting—that are now standard in reconstructive surgery worldwide.
Understand that every surgeon carries both technical skill and emotional responsibility in the operating room.

In this unapologetic and hard-hitting episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx directs his commentary at modern protest culture—calling out what he sees as performative activism, ignorance of cause, and a lack of personal accountability. Using recent examples—from the Middle East ceasefire celebrations to university campus riots and even the infamous “naked bike protest” in Portland—Dr. Marx contrasts today’s demonstrators with the disciplined, purpose-driven movements of the past.
He argues that many modern protesters are either paid, anarchist, or misguided idealists, disconnected from history, work ethic, or real sacrifice. His message is clear: “Grow up, get a job, contribute to society, and stop pretending destruction equals change.”
The Middle East Contrast:
Celebration of recent peace progress between Palestinians and Israelis under Trump-brokered negotiations.
The sight of Palestinians waving both U.S. and Israeli flags stands in stark contrast to American campus protests burning the same flag months earlier.
Dr. Marx calls it “a moral mirror moment”—the people overseas are celebrating peace while U.S. students protest chaos.
The Problem with Modern Protests:
Many protesters chant “From the river to the sea” without knowing it means the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea—proof, Dr. Marx says, of “activism without education.”
He breaks protesters into three categories:
Paid Protesters – “Protesting for $400 a day is just another form of prostitution.”
Anarchists – Groups seeking disruption, not solutions, often financed by extremist donors.
The Passionately Deluded – Well-intentioned but uninformed participants “fighting for causes they don’t understand.”
When Protests Become Parody:
Discusses Portland’s “naked bike protest,” using humor and satire to highlight the absurdity and lack of message clarity.
Critiques physical exhibitionism as a substitute for substance: “If you’re protesting naked, at least know what you’re protesting for.”
The Work Ethic Divide:
Dr. Marx reflects on his own work history—from paper routes and machine shops to medical training—to contrast generational dedication versus modern disengagement.
Questions whether protesters even attend class or hold jobs, saying true progress comes from education, work, and contribution, not “wasted weekends with cardboard signs.”
The Real Message Behind the Signs:
Dr. Marx urges listeners to look past the slogans:
“When I see signs saying ‘Defund the Police’ or ‘Trump is a Fascist,’ what I really see is someone holding a sign that says, ‘I’m a brainwashed loser.’”
“If you can’t name the river or the sea, you shouldn’t be chanting about them.”
“Paid protests are just performance art with a price tag.”
“In the 1960s, protests sought justice; today’s seek attention.”
“Grow up, get a job, and be part of society instead of tearing it down.”
Understand the difference between historic, purpose-driven protest and today’s culture of performative outrage.
Recognize the role of misinformation and groupthink in modern activism.
Reclaim pride in work, contribution, and civic responsibility.
Be skeptical of causes driven more by funding and social media than facts.

In this special installment of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx reads the introduction to his acclaimed book, 28 Life-Changing Patients: Chronicles of an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, giving listeners a firsthand look at what inspired him to write it and the often-overlooked field he helped shape.
Through both storytelling and candid commentary, Dr. Marx explains what an oral and maxillofacial surgeon really is—and why this dual medical-dental specialty remains one of the most misunderstood yet vital branches of modern healthcare. He also recounts a remarkable story from his colleague Sir Keshe Moose of the U.K., whose knighthood ceremony with Queen Elizabeth II perfectly illustrates how even royalty can ask, “What the blazes is an oral maxillofacial surgeon?”
The episode closes with Dr. Marx reflecting on his own academic career, groundbreaking surgical work, and his pride in training the next generation of surgeons now leading programs across the country.
The Knighted Surgeon:
Story of Sir Keshe Moose, honored by the Queen for his pioneering craniofacial surgery—followed by her now-famous question, “What the blazes is that?”
A lighthearted yet meaningful example of how few truly understand this advanced medical field.
Defining Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS):
A dual specialty bridging dentistry and medicine, allowing treatment of conditions that neither alone can fully address.
Procedures span from wisdom tooth removal to complex head, neck, and jaw reconstruction, TMJ repair, facial trauma, cancer surgery, and surgical orthodontics.
The Mission of the Book:
Each of the 28 stories is drawn from real cases—no television dramatization, no embellishment.
Highlights the humanity, fear, triumph, and frustration behind life-altering surgical decisions.
Names are changed to protect privacy, but every professional, institution, and challenge described is real.
The Academic vs. Private Practice Path:
Dr. Marx shares why he chose a career in academic medicine over private practice—sacrificing income for research freedom, innovation, and teaching.
Proudly notes that many of his trainees now direct oral and maxillofacial surgery programs nationwide.
Dispelling Common Misconceptions:
Responding to “You’re not a real doctor,” Dr. Marx explains how OMFS surgeons in the U.S. undergo full medical training or its equivalent via the American College of Surgeons.
In Europe, every OMFS is dual-degreed (MD and DDS); in the U.S., roughly half hold both degrees, while all complete advanced hospital-based surgical training.
“Even Queen Elizabeth had to ask—‘What the blazes is an oral maxillofacial surgeon?’”
“Our field fills a void no one else can—between medicine and dentistry.”
“These stories aren’t fiction. They’re real lives changed—and doctors changed with them.”
Understand the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery beyond extractions and implants.
Appreciate the artistry and complexity behind facial reconstruction, cancer care, and trauma management.
Recognize that oral surgeons are often both physicians and dentists, uniquely qualified for head and neck procedures.
Get a glimpse into the academic medicine lifestyle—where legacy, innovation, and mentorship matter as much as the scalpel.

It is intended for educational and storytelling purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. All patient names have been changed in compliance with HIPAA.
In this deeply analytical and medically grounded episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx challenges the prevailing political narrative that America is facing a “healthcare crisis.” Drawing on his decades of surgical and academic experience, he argues that what we’re witnessing isn’t collapse—but transition—driven by extended lifespans, high-tech medicine, and lifestyle-related disease.
He contrasts political spin with biological reality, detailing how advances in genetics, surgery, and pharmacology have revolutionized medicine, but also raised costs. From cancer immunotherapies to robotic surgery and monoclonal antibodies, Dr. Marx gives listeners a rare, insider’s look at what truly drives the rising price of modern care—and what responsibility individuals share in managing their own health.
Politics vs. Medicine:
Democrats’ focus on healthcare as a political lifeline heading into the 2026 election.
Washington Post’s recent admission that the Affordable Care Act “was never meant to be affordable.”
Breakdown of subsidies and spending proposals—particularly page 57 of the Democratic counterbill, which Dr. Marx argues includes healthcare funding for undocumented immigrants.
Why Costs Are Rising:
Americans live longer: Women’s life expectancy now 81.1 years, men 75.8 years.
Longevity brings chronic disease—cancer, arthritis, dementia, and obesity—all costly to manage.
Smoking and poor lifestyle habits catch up decades later; preventive care still underused.
Technology: Medicine’s Double-Edged Sword:
Expensive but lifesaving innovations: CT, MRI, PET, robotic surgery, endoscopic surgery, genetic therapies.
Monoclonal antibodies like Prolia, Herceptin, Keytruda, and Opdivo—miracle drugs with billion-dollar price tags.
Legal system adds to cost: drug companies add 20% price padding for potential litigation exposure.
A Surgeon’s Perspective:
As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Marx recounts firsthand how imaging and documentation protect against malpractice—but raise patient costs.
The legal and defensive side of medicine is a hidden multiplier in healthcare pricing.
Personal Responsibility & Creative Solutions:
Suggests behavior-linked insurance models—smokers, heavy drinkers, or repeat DUIs could pre-fund future healthcare needs tied to their own risk factors.
Notes President Trump’s “Trump RX” initiative for aligning U.S. drug prices with Europe’s as a step in the right direction.
Perspective on Progress:
HIV/AIDS is now largely controlled by antivirals within a generation.
Cancer survival is rising thanks to targeted genomic treatments.
Healthcare isn’t failing—it’s evolving, and evolution costs money.
“The Affordable Care Act was never meant to be affordable—it was meant to be subsidized.”
“We don’t have a healthcare crisis—we have a healthcare evolution.”
“You’re not just paying for care—you’re paying for miracles we once thought impossible.”
Rising medical costs reflect technological advances, not systemic collapse.
Preventive care and lifestyle choices remain the most cost-effective “medicine.”
Defensive medicine, litigation risk, and innovation all drive prices.
The best reform begins with personal accountability and smarter resource management, not political slogans.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx takes a hard look at the claim that the Democratic Party is “soft on crime.” He reviews recent headlines, controversial comments by political figures, and high-profile criminal cases to ask whether leniency has become policy—and whether the line between explanations and excuses has been erased.
From Seattle’s “no jail” remarks to Chicago’s ongoing violence and the Virginia attorney-general race controversy, Dr. Marx connects the dots between local policy decisions and national outcomes. His message: voters should think critically about who truly stands for law, order, and accountability.
Seattle’s “No Jail” Philosophy
Mayor’s public statement suggesting even repeat offenders shouldn’t face incarceration.
Dr. Marx argues the mayor confuses root-cause explanations (poverty, abuse) with excuses that dismiss responsibility.
Chicago’s Sanctuary City Experiment
Discussion of ongoing crime, the legacy of “defund the police,” and the city’s violent-crime statistics.
Critique of Governor Pritzker’s posture toward ICE enforcement and the exodus of residents—and even the Bears—from the city.
Virginia Attorney-General Candidate Controversy
Breakdown of candidate Jay Jones’s inflammatory past comments and the political fallout.
Dr. Marx questions forgiveness without accountability when public office is involved.
The South Carolina Tragedy: 27 Felonies, 39 Arrests
Case study of Alexander Dickey, accused of murdering Logan Federico, despite an extensive criminal record and multiple early releases.
A call to revisit “Three Strikes” laws and redefine what “correctional” should mean.
Historical Context & Party Evolution
Reflection on Democratic leaders of the past—Robert F. Kennedy, JFK, Bill Clinton—and how the platform, in Dr. Marx’s view, shifted from law-and-order to leniency.
“If you murder someone because you were abused—that’s an explanation, not an excuse.”
“Crime has no party, no color, and no ideology—only accountability.”
“Today’s Democratic Party doesn’t just go soft on crime—it enables it through sanctuary policies.”
Understand the difference between root-cause reasoning and accountability.
Review candidates at the local level—mayors, councils, judgeships—where most criminal-justice policy is made.
Recognize how repeated leniency for career offenders endangers public safety.
Consider both compassion and consequence in criminal-justice reform debates.

Dr. Robert E. Marx spotlights Dr. Marc (Mike) Siegel—NYU clinical professor of medicine and prominent COVID-era clinician—and his new faith-forward book, Miracles Among Us. Dr. Marx highlights Siegel’s emphasis on real patients, resilience, and the role of faith, contrasting it with the top-down, vaccine-only approach he believes dominated public messaging during the pandemic.
He then pivots to his own forthcoming audiobook and reads Chapter 18: “The Bull Neck” from 28 Life-Changing Patients: Chronicles of an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon—a gripping case of massive neck tumors ultimately diagnosed as thyroid cancer, the system hurdles it exposed, and the teamwork that saved a life.
Why Siegel’s Book Matters (to Marx):
Faith, perseverance, and patient-by-patient learning (“the practice of medicine”).
Therapeutics discourse that, in Marx’s view, was sidelined during COVID.
What an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon Actually Does:
The dual world of dentistry + medicine: from extractions and cosmetics to complex cancer surgery.
Live Reading — “The Bull Neck” (Chapter 18):
A late-40s patient presents with bilateral, football-sized neck masses.
Office FNA and urgent coordination with pathology reveal thyroid cancer.
Social work secures coverage; extensive neck dissection removes 4.2 lbs of tumor.
A small recurrence at 14 months is resected; moderate-dose radiation “mops up” residual risk.
Seven-year disease-free follow-up before the patient relocates—meeting the bar for “cure.”
System Lessons:
The peril of delaying care.
The difference between reconstructive vs cosmetic surgery (and why protocols must reflect it).
How multidisciplinary cooperation (surgery, pathology, radiation oncology, social work) changes outcomes.
“We call it the practice of medicine because every patient teaches us something.”
“Reconstruction isn’t vanity—it’s restoring what disease took away.”
“Faith and science aren’t enemies; for many patients, they’re partners in recovery.”
Don’t wait on worrisome symptoms—earlier is safer and often simpler to treat.
Learn the difference between cosmetic vs reconstructive care when insurers push back.
Complex cases are won by teams: surgeons, pathologists, radiation oncologists, and social workers.
Books like Miracles Among Us and 28 Life-Changing Patients can re-humanize healthcare—one story at a time.

In this fact-driven episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Marx and co-host Neil Haley unpack several stories dominating national headlines. From Secretary of War Peter Hecktheft’s fiery “FAFO” message to military leaders, to the political battle over the latest government funding bill, Dr. Marx breaks down what’s really at stake—and what the media often misses.
Drawing on his background as a professor of surgery at the University of Miami School of Medicine, he also revisits the original rollout of Obamacare and explains why, in his view, it was structurally flawed from the start. The episode ends with his recommendation of Dr. Marc Siegel’s new medical book, connecting policy decisions to real-world impacts on healthcare quality and access.
Inside the Pentagon Address:
Secretary of War Peter Hecktheft’s call to restore “warrior readiness,” curb performative “woke” policies, and set equal combat-fitness standards for men and women.
Clarifies the slang acronym FAFO (“F* Around and Find Out”)** used as a direct warning to U.S. adversaries.
Discusses why this speech marks a pivot back to traditional military discipline and deterrence.
Government Shutdown Reality Check:
Dr. Marx outlines which agencies are actually paused versus protected (military retirement pay, postal service, etc.).
Dissects the partisan standoff between Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Leader Chuck Schumer over healthcare subsidies for undocumented immigrants—pinpointing language he says appears on page 57 of the Democratic draft.
Argues that renewed Affordable Care Act subsidies would, in practice, reopen benefits for non-citizens, despite denials.
Obamacare Then and Now:
Recalls the 2013 rollout failures and explains how optimistic actuarial models collapsed when younger enrollees opted out.
Describes firsthand experiences where ACA protocols denied reconstruction coverage after tumor removal—bureaucratic confusion between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Notes that continued subsidies have kept the program afloat, while the new “Big Beautiful Bill,” as he calls it, aims to make the system self-sustaining.
Medical Insights & Recommended Reading:
Reviews Dr. Marc Siegel’s recent work addressing government involvement in medicine and patient autonomy.
Reinforces why doctors—not bureaucrats—should decide what qualifies as medically necessary care.
“FAFO wasn’t a slip—it was a signal: we’re done projecting weakness.”
“A shutdown headline doesn’t mean a shutdown government.”
“Reconstruction is not cosmetic surgery—it’s restoring what disease took away.”
Understand the real scope of current federal shutdowns—what stops, what stays, and who’s affected.
Learn how small clauses in legislation can shift billions in healthcare subsidies.
See how healthcare policy decisions ripple into clinical practice and patient care.

Dr. Robert E. Marx and co-host Neil Haley revisit the Sept 10, 2025 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirkat Utah Valley University to ask a hard question: beyond the shooter, what forces help radicalize lone actors? Dr. Marx argues that nonstop incendiary labels and polarizing narratives in legacy media and online ecosystems can push unstable individuals over the edge. The conversation contrasts “speech vs. consequences,” late-night TV politics, and practical security upgrades for public figures and campuses. Confirmed case basics (suspect Tyler Robinson, ongoing hearings; UVU security gaps now under review) ground the discussion. AP News+3AP News+3CBS News+3
Opening volley: AI as amplifier—how prompts, platform rules, and feeds can reinforce bias or refuse sensitive queries; why that matters in breaking news.

In this episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show, Dr. Robert E. Marx and co-host Neil Haley engage in a provocative comparison of two defining tragedies: the 2020 killing of George Floyd and the Sept 10, 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. Dr. Marx contrasts the circumstances of each death, the media’s coverage, the public’s reaction, and the political responses that followed.
The discussion challenges listeners to separate ideology from critical thinking, exposing how selective narratives and media framing deepen divisions in America. The hosts conclude by urging listeners to think independently, weigh policies case by case, and resist being “programmed” by partisanship.
George Floyd (2020): Prior arrests, drug use at the time of arrest, accidental restraint by police leading to death, and nationwide protests that escalated into violence.
Charlie Kirk (2025): A public figure, Turning Point USA founder and Christian pastor, killed intentionally in what authorities describe as a political assassination. Large vigils, tributes, and a massive memorial rally attended by Republican leaders followed.
Media Contrasts:
Coverage of Floyd emphasized systemic racism and police brutality, fueling Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests.
Coverage of Kirk was more solemn but also sparked misinformation and false attributions on social media.
Political Reactions:
Democrats in 2020 knelt in symbolic protest, aligning with BLM.
In 2025, Republicans unified around Kirk’s legacy, while some Democrats abstained from condemning political violence.
The Bigger Lesson: Both cases were politicized; mainstream media and political elites leveraged tragedy for influence instead of national unity.
“They’ve been so absorbed in critical race theory that they forgot critical thinking.”
“Both George Floyd and Charlie Kirk were victims—but the coverage and reaction reveal two Americas.”
“One thing worse than no information is misinformation—and the media thrives on it.”
Compare media portrayals critically; don’t confuse narrative with fact.
Violence should never be excused, regardless of ideology.
Support policies and positions based on research and detail—not party lines.
Think for yourself in the voting booth—critical thinking is the antidote to manipulation.

Key SegmentsWhat We Will Not DoPull QuotesListener TakeawaysLinks & FollowDisclaimer
Welcome to a special simulcast of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show and Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed. In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Robert E. Marx revisits his hallmark topic of climate change in light of the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI). With AI demanding unprecedented amounts of energy, Dr. Marx argues that the global narrative around CO₂ is about to be sidelined.
🎙️ Episode Highlights:
1. Why Climate Change is Back on the Agenda
AI is here to stay—and it’s energy-hungry.
A single 200,000 sq. ft. AI data facility consumes energy equal to 30,000 U.S. homes.
To power AI’s future, only two sources can realistically deliver enough energy:
Fossil fuels
Nuclear power
2. CO₂: The “Hoax” That Won’t Hold Up
Dr. Marx reiterates his central thesis from his book Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed:
CO₂ is not the driver of global warming.
Scientific evidence shows warming patterns that don’t align with CO₂ increases.
Past hoaxes compared: Russia collusion, Hunter Biden laptop denials, and now climate hysteria.
3. Regulatory Shifts
EPA administrator Lee Elden is rolling back late-stage Biden CO₂ restrictions.
Renewed emphasis on realistic energy density:
Oil and gas molecules vs. solar/wind (117 times greater energy yield).
Solar and wind simply cannot scale to meet AI’s needs.
4. Evidence Against CO₂ as the Climate Culprit
Sun Output: Since 1850, increased solar radiation has been measured at 1,360 watts per square yard, directly contributing to warming.
Milankovitch Cycles: Earth’s elliptical orbit periodically brings the planet closer to the sun, driving natural warming phases lasting thousands of years.
Geological Record: Fossils of coral and dinosaurs in Alaska prove the region once had a warm climate unrelated to modern CO₂.
Historical Temperature Spikes: Ice cores and mud cores show eight warming peaks in the last 5,000 years higher than today’s levels—all unrelated to CO₂.
5. The Scientific Divide
Distinguished scientists such as William Happer and European researchers argue the atmosphere’s CO₂ absorption capacity is already saturated.
Critics disagree, but Dr. Marx points out that every major prediction of catastrophe (melting Arctic ice by 2015/2017, flooded cities, extreme hurricanes) has failed.
6. What It Means Going Forward
AI’s massive energy demand will override climate fear campaigns.
Fossil fuels and nuclear power will be essential, not optional.
Common sense and historical evidence show CO₂ fears are misplaced.
🎯 Key Takeaways:
AI will push climate change rhetoric aside because of the unavoidable need for dense energy sources.
CO₂ is not the enemy—historical and geological data show natural cycles drive climate change.
Every prediction of climate catastrophe tied to CO₂ has been wrong.
To compete globally in AI, America must embrace fossil fuels and nuclear energy without fear of CO₂ emissions.
📌 Looking Ahead:
Dr. Marx hints at future episodes exploring AI itself—its benefits, risks, and the societal shifts it will trigger.
His book Climate Change: The Hoax of CO₂ Revealed remains a cornerstone reference for listeners seeking deeper insight.

Welcome to a special simulcast episode of The Dr. Robert E. Marx Show. In this session, Dr. Marx takes a deep dive into one of the most heavily advertised supplements on TV today—Balance of Nature. With his background as a surgeon, wound-healing specialist, and stem cell researcher, Dr. Marx provides a candid analysis of the product, its claims, and whether it truly delivers on its promises.
1. The Bigger Picture: The $60 Billion Supplement Industry
Supplements are booming in popularity, but many products lack scientific proof.
Dr. Marx has consistently supported:
Beet-based products (SuperBeets, Total Beets) for mild hypertension (due to nitric oxide).
Magnesium and Vitamin D, since most patients are deficient.
He has cautioned against:
Brain supplements (Prevagen, Brainy, Brain Fog) with no scientific basis.
DIY wellness kits that bypass the doctor-patient relationship.
2. Balance of Nature: Lofty Claims vs. Real Complaints
Advertised as a way to improve vitality, energy, and overall health through fruit and vegetable concentrates.
Real user complaints include:
No increase in energy.
Sleeplessness, bloating, and digestive discomfort.
Poor customer service (delayed shipments, incomplete orders, refund issues).
Cost: $109/month → $1,308 per year.
3. Problems with Verification & Recalls
Recall: Walmart previously pulled Balance of Nature from shelves (regions unspecified).
Good Housekeeping investigation:
No independent verification of product contents.
No evidence pesticides/herbicides are removed.
No Certification of Analysis (COA) to prove vitamin/mineral levels.
4. The Freeze-Drying Problem
Process: Fruits/vegetables are frozen, then freeze-dried into powder for capsules.
What’s left? Mostly fiber.
Side effects explained:
Fiber draws water into the stomach → bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.
Explains many customer complaints.
Vitamin Loss:
Water-soluble vitamins (B complex, Vitamin C) are lost when water is removed.
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are lost when organic tissues are stripped away.
Net result: very little real vitamin value remains.
5. Cost vs. Reality
Spending $1,308 a year on Balance of Nature offers less benefit than simply buying fresh produce.
A few servings of broccoli, peaches, or asparagus can provide all the vitamins and minerals most people need.
If supplementation is desired, a basic multivitamin is far cheaper and more effective.
6. Final Verdict by Dr. Marx
Balance of Nature is essentially a fiber pill marketed as fruits and vegetables.
No credible evidence supports its claims of increased energy or vitality.
Consumers are better off eating fresh produce or taking low-cost vitamins.
The real winners are the company executives, not the customers—Balance of Nature reportedly earns $13.6 million annually from this product.
Supplements should be backed by independent scientific verification.
Balance of Nature lacks transparency, third-party testing, and proven health benefits.
Save your money—buy fresh fruits and vegetables instead of overpriced capsules.
