00:00:05.000My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.
00:00:09.000Lots to talk about, lots to get into, and for the first time ever, starting this week, we are now multi streaming on four different platforms, four different services.
00:01:08.000And I believe we're also, so that's Twitter as well, because Periscope and Twitter work together.
00:01:12.000But we're streaming now on the four different services, which is a great thing.
00:01:16.000Lots of changes have taken place on the show.
00:01:19.000One of the things we're going to do now, as we are on all the four different services, is now we're transitioning away from the Super Chats and into Streamlabs, which, if you guys don't know what that is, I'm allowed to multicast because of a service called Restream.
00:01:35.000And given that we get our questions in the last 15 minutes of the show typically with Super Chats on YouTube, In order so that everybody can participate in the show, in order so that everyone can interact with the show and ask their questions, leave their comments for the last 15 minutes, we have transitioned towards Streamlabs.
00:01:54.000And what this allows us to do is whether you're watching on Facebook or Twitch or Periscope or YouTube, you can donate to the show and leave your super chat.
00:02:04.000And for people that don't watch on YouTube for the last 15 minutes, we do take your questions if you leave a donation on YouTube.
00:02:11.000But we are transitioning now to Streamlabs.
00:02:14.000If you follow that link down below, or excuse me, over here in the bottom left-hand side of the screen, in the left-hand corner of your screen in the bottom, if you click that link, you can go to that website and you can leave your tip, you can leave your comment, and we'll see how it works.
00:02:29.000If it's too complicated for you, just do the super chat.
00:04:51.000But the big thing that I wanted to talk about tonight, if we want to have a laser focus on something right here tonight, what I wanted to talk about is.
00:04:59.000The opioid epidemic, because we had some really strong comments made by the president this afternoon.
00:05:06.000He was giving a speech and he reiterated his line about giving drug dealers the death penalty and very controversial.
00:05:15.000One of the top stories on Fox, top stories on BBC, is this new Trump position, this new Trump talking point, which is we have to give drug dealers the death penalty.
00:05:26.000And he introduced this, he rolled this out.
00:05:29.000I think it was talked about a little bit.
00:05:30.000You heard some rumors of it a couple of weeks ago.
00:05:33.000And then he really hit it hard last week at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania, which, if you remember, he was out there, and this is before the humiliating defeat in the special election in the 18th district.
00:05:44.000He was out there in Pennsylvania campaigning for Republican Rick Sicone.
00:05:49.000And this is where he introduced it publicly for the first time.
00:05:51.000This is the first time in a major venue that he started talking about this.
00:05:55.000He said that we should be giving drug dealers a death penalty.
00:05:58.000And the reasoning was you look at other countries, whether they be China or India, countries with a larger population.
00:06:06.000And he says, you know, how do you take care of the drug problem in China, for example, he gave in Pennsylvania.
00:06:12.000He said to Xi Jinping, how do you solve your drug problem?
00:06:14.000And they say, well, they solve it with the death penalty.
00:06:17.000And the rationale that he used in Pennsylvania last week was that he said that if you're a murderer, if you go out and you kill one person, or you're a drunk driver and you kill a person, if you're a murderer and you kill a couple of people, sometimes you get 30 days in jail, or for drug dealing, you'll get 30 days in jail.
00:06:36.000Life in jail, or you get the death penalty.
00:06:38.000You kill one person, you kill a few people, you get life in jail, or you get the death penalty.
00:06:42.000Life in jail with no possibility of parole, or you'll get 30 years in jail or 50 years in jail.
00:06:48.000But he says if you're a drug dealer and you're responsible for killing thousands of people in the case of these stronger drugs like heroin and the opioids and all the rest, you'll get 30 days and you'll get let out, or you'll get a fine.
00:07:00.000And in a lot of countries, we're seeing it being decriminalized.
00:07:03.000We see in Portugal, they've done a decriminalization project.
00:07:07.000In Uruguay, they've done a decriminalization project.
00:07:10.000We see all kinds of different efforts around the Western world to rehabilitate drug users, to treat them, to decriminalize, to make it so that young people are guided in a better direction.
00:07:22.000Maybe that was the liberal approach, which prevailed under Barack Obama, which saw marijuana, for example, being legalized in different states in the United States.
00:07:31.000And you see in the liberal world, we treat it in that way.
00:07:34.000But on the converse, you see in places like China, I think the best example is in the Philippines, they treat their drug problem with harsh, Punitive measures.
00:07:44.000Rodrigo Duterte is probably the best example in the Philippines who goes around, he brags about extrajudicial killings of drug dealers.
00:07:51.000There's all kinds of human rights concerns, and we're really wild about the human rights people.
00:07:56.000But Donald Trump really presents a stark contrast to how our policy on drugs has been for the last eight years, or even the last 16 or 25 years.
00:08:05.000Whereas even under Bush, even under Clinton, even under Bush Sr., we were still fighting the war on drugs.
00:08:12.000And the pharmaceuticals have always been there.
00:08:14.000The pharmaceuticals have always been there, overprescribing painkillers and being a big part of the problem.
00:08:20.000Where you look in West Virginia and Pennsylvania and a lot of these states, they're ordering sometimes.
00:08:25.000Hundreds of millions of prescription pain killing pills for towns and cities with maybe a few thousand people.
00:08:33.000And so the pharmaceutical companies have always been complicit.
00:08:36.000The deep state has always been complicit.
00:08:38.000The CIA and the alphabet soup of different agencies have worked hand in hand, hand in glove with the cartels and with Mexico and with all these different non state actors.
00:08:49.000And so even before Barack Obama, you had this policy in the United States of we're fighting the drug war, but are we really?
00:08:56.000Can we really say we're fighting the drug war if we allow the pharmaceuticals to get away with murder?
00:09:00.000If we allow drugs to come pouring across the border with people and we have no border, we have no wall, we don't enforce the border.
00:09:08.000A lot of the heroin you see coming in is black tar, cheap heroin from Mexico.
00:09:12.000A lot of the drugs, cocaine, other things just come in by the truckload from Mexico.
00:09:17.000Can you really say we were fighting the drug war even before Barack Obama essentially, effectively made it a detente?
00:09:25.000And then you had Barack Obama who had it being legalized in Colorado and all over the country.
00:09:31.000And so now Donald Trump represents a real stark departure from how the United States has governed its drug policy.
00:09:36.000Now we see ourselves moving away from the rest of the Western world, away from this hemisphere, away from Europe, away from countries like the Netherlands and Denmark and Scandinavia, in Germany and Portugal, where we see decriminalization, where we see rehabilitation.
00:09:52.000Now we're moving more towards a much more right wing position, which is away from rehabilitative justice to punitive justice, where we're going to go after and kill people.
00:10:03.000Whereas the liberals want to say our job, our mission, our task is to treat people who are on drugs and make sure people are healthy and make sure if they're on drugs, they can get weaned off of them and make sure that the people who are selling drugs are people that are in the private sector and they're paying taxes, right?
00:10:32.000We want the people who make the drugs and sell the drugs.
00:10:36.000To be afraid, to be crippled in their capability to manufacture what I think amounts to, if you look at just the deaths that result from drugs, weapons of mass destruction.
00:10:46.000I think it becomes a nonproliferation issue.
00:10:48.000But beyond just the opioid epidemic in terms of punitive justice, I really wanted to dedicate this show tonight to the opioid epidemic in all of its facets.
00:10:58.000How we're going to address it, what's actually going on, what are opioids, what are the numbers on this, because this has been a central, a focal issue, a defining issue for President Trump.
00:11:51.000I think we do see a very dark manifestation of these broader cultural and social trends in the opioid epidemic.
00:11:58.000And we have to really explore what this means, how this is a reflection of our country, and not just in, you know, people are doing drugs and let's go after drug dealers, or people are doing drugs and let's see how we can rehabilitate them.
00:12:11.000But just what does it say about people who make these decisions and why opioids?
00:12:16.000Why is it an American problem exclusively?
00:12:19.000You know, why is this such a problem in America as opposed to Canada?
00:12:22.000Why is it such a problem in the Midwest and the Rust Belt in New England as opposed to the great coastal cities in the West or in the Northeast or in the South or in the Midwest?
00:12:32.000And so we're going to really tackle it.
00:12:34.000And I think we've all heard it on the show before.
00:12:39.000To really get to the heart of the opioid problem, we have to understand people's behaviors and we have to understand what the opioids are.
00:12:48.000So the opioid drug, the opioids are a class of.
00:12:51.000Drugs, which include heroin, opium, a lot of these pharmaceutical painkillers, which would be like fentanyl, which would be Oxycontin, codeine, hydrocodone, all kinds of designer drugs.
00:13:05.000It's a class of drugs which includes a wide variety.
00:13:08.000And so you'll have everything from things you could get prescribed by a doctor, which will be those kinds of things like morphine and fentanyl, which are prescription painkillers if you've had a bad surgery, if you have a bad illness, a terminal illness, to something you could get right off the street, which is black tar heroin.
00:13:24.000And you look into actually what are the opioids and what are the effects.
00:13:28.000I think that's where we really start to understand the appeal of opioids, where they're being used, why they're being used in the places they are, why it is opioids, why opioids, why now, why in these places.
00:13:40.000Because unlike marijuana, unlike alcohol, unlike cocaine, opioids are this kind of a painkiller that doesn't really push you so much in one direction or the other.
00:13:51.000You know, we look at marijuana where you'll have maybe this creative energy where People say we smoke marijuana.
00:13:58.000I've never smoked marijuana before, but people who smoke marijuana say they do it recreationally because they're getting in touch with a creative side.
00:14:06.000It's opening their mind, or it's a way to relax, or they get the munchies.
00:14:11.000There's all kinds of different experiences associated with weed.
00:14:15.000And weed is maybe the most similar, but then you'll have something like cocaine, or you'll have some of these other stimulant drugs where you have an increased appetite, an increased sex drive, increased energy.
00:14:24.000It's a very, it's kind of this bipolar thing where either you have marijuana, which is this depressant, or Or you have cocaine where it's a stimulant and there are these feelings.
00:14:32.000Whereas opioids are kind of in the middle here, where people who take them and understand why they take them, we have to understand the appeal, the effects of them.
00:14:41.000If people are going to take them and ruin their lives, obviously we understand they induce in the short term and maybe short sightedly a good feeling.
00:14:49.000And people who go on the opioids, they say it's like flying.
00:15:18.000There was a really good article in New York Magazine where they listed a poem, they referenced a poem that said something to the effect that opioids are a way to get out of caring about life or death.
00:15:28.000They say that every activity that we experience, Every euphoria that we experience, whether that's love or it's a success in your work, whether it's wealth or anything, all the experiences we have are enjoyed while we're heading towards death, while we're in this existential feeling of why are we here?
00:15:51.000And the way this article described opioids were a way of getting out of that mentality, getting out of the crisis of living for a moment, out of the crisis of death for a moment, and just sort of floating there in this euphoria.
00:16:04.000And I think that tells us a lot about who's using it, why we're using it, why it's an American problem, why we're using it now, because what it is, it's a numbness.
00:16:13.000It's a numbness, not just to physical pain, which people have always felt.
00:16:18.000And maybe to a far greater extent previously.
00:16:20.000We look at where we are as a country today in terms of disease, in terms of crime, in terms of violence.
00:16:26.000In terms of physical pain, we're doing pretty good.
00:16:28.000In terms of physical pain, we're doing all right as a country.
00:16:31.000Never before in history have we seen a safer country where there's less crime, less illness, less disease, more wealth, more comfort.
00:16:38.000So, physical pain, we've always been okay, or we've been okay for a long time in this country.
00:16:43.000Mental pain, it's always been there, mental stress maybe.
00:16:46.000But opioids relieve an existential suffering that we have, a psychological suffering that we have.
00:16:52.000They say that oxytocin, which is one of these pleasure chemicals in the brain, what an opioid does is it replicates oxytocin.
00:16:59.000So that it's replicating the same pleasure chemicals, the same brain chemistry that happens when you're in love, when you have a close friend, when you have sex.
00:17:13.000And so we look at this class of drugs and what this really has to amount to, I think, in the eyes of many people.
00:17:20.000If we are to address the problem head on, if we're to get at the root of the problem, which is Why people are turning to opioids when they are so destructive, when they are so harmful to people, is that they're looking to it as a substitute.
00:17:31.000They're looking to it as an alternative, as an escape, as a numbing agent, a painkiller for an existential pain and angst that we're all feeling.
00:17:42.000I think we all understand it on a very intuitive level, on a very vibrational level.
00:17:47.000If you get into this hippy dippy kind of stuff, I think we all understand that as a country, regardless of the ups and downs of the market, regardless of the culture and all these things that are going on, With the constant stimulation, everything's loud, everything's intense, everything's fast.
00:18:03.000Outside of all of that, I think the prevailing feeling of the country is misery, is numbness.
00:18:33.000Are they excited to go out and do what they're going to do?
00:18:35.000Or by and large, you see people that are crushed.
00:18:39.000And they're crushed by the weight of a civilization that has no answers for our spirit, for our souls.
00:18:47.000We look at a country where the center is simply not holding.
00:18:51.000In the past 20 years, we have these transformative forces.
00:18:54.000We have forces that are economic, that are cultural, that are social, that are going a mile a minute, they're going 100 miles an hour.
00:19:02.000Whether you look at free trade, You look at this capitalist system, this very progressive capitalist system that's going 100 miles an hour in terms of creative destruction, where the Dow Jones just goes up and up and up, and the stock market goes up, and the labor market is very elastic, and all markets are very elastic, and things are moving very quickly, very disruptive, ripping out roots, whether they be of workers or factories or what have you, free trade ripping the country apart.
00:19:30.000You see demographic trends where the country has gone from 90% white in 1960 to less than 40% by 2050.
00:19:37.000So, in 100 years, you've seen the population, the founding stock of the country that built the factories, that fought the wars, that settled the lands, they've been replaced in 100 years from 100% down to 50%.
00:19:51.000And with that, you see a cultural transformation where, in the span of 50 years, we went from a Christian nation, a conservative nation, where men were men and women were women, and we all went to church on Sunday and we all went to work Monday through Friday.
00:20:04.000Now we see 50 years later, we have the rise of these alternative families, alternative lifestyles.
00:20:45.000Native Americans, or as I like to call them, savages, where they'd come through and they'd ride through towns and scalp people and they'd cut babies out of pregnant women.
00:20:53.000I mean, we've seen suffering in this country before.
00:20:56.000We've seen transformations in the country before.
00:20:59.000But what makes this time so unique, what's unique to the 2010s, and what's unique about this crisis is that unlike any other time in history, we have all these transformations and we have no core.
00:22:09.000And there was some semblance of community, there was some semblance of structure.
00:22:13.000And so what we're seeing now is these transformations, we're seeing these disruptions, things which we've never seen the likes of before.
00:22:20.000Where in the past 25 years, the trajectory we're on is exponential as opposed to linear.
00:22:26.000In every facet and every capacity, and in all the ones listed before.
00:22:30.000And uniquely, when these things are happening, they are eroding, they are taking place in the absence of any coherent identity, any coherent sense of belonging.
00:22:38.000And this is why you have the opioid epidemic.
00:22:41.000Until you solve this problem, you are going to have no shortage of people who want opioids or who want some form of a substitute.
00:22:49.000I think the people who are on opioids are only the most desperate people.
00:22:52.000I mean, we see a crisis that is ravaging the country, and we can look at the The pervasiveness of this epidemic, and we just look at some of the numbers here.
00:24:07.000Probably more than a block of people, and that's every single day for the last five, six, ten years.
00:24:12.000More than two million people are addicted to some kind of opioid, and the overdose rate is 10 and a half out of every 10,000.
00:24:19.000And compare that to put these numbers in comparison the overdose rate was one and a half after Vietnam veterans were coming home from a war.
00:24:28.000So you imagine the 1970s, you have people shipping out overseas to go and fight in the jungle for God knows what, and they're in there in the worst conditions.
00:24:37.000They're in there getting killed, young people getting killed.
00:25:49.000But this doesn't even take into account, I think, the real problem, the real root of the problem, which is how many millions of people who can say that cheap entertainment isn't doing it for them?
00:25:59.000That they turn on the big game or they go see a movie or they're playing video games.
00:26:03.000It's generational what kind of cheap entertainment they use.
00:26:07.000But how many people aged, I think you could go as young as 13, upwards through 65, 70, 75, if you're getting into like mid boomer territory, how many of those people can say, They feel the same way.
00:26:20.000Maybe they don't medicate in the same way.
00:26:22.000Maybe they don't medicate with opioids.
00:26:24.000But how many of those people can say they really are satisfied, that they're really doing well, they're really content with how their life is, that this is how it should be, this is how it always has been?
00:26:34.000I don't think you could say very many people would report that.
00:26:37.000And I think we have to get down to, we do this rant all the time on the show because it's so true.
00:26:43.000Everybody understands it, whether it's the college kid who's in school and they're drowned in student loan debt.
00:26:49.000And they're surrounded by promiscuous, hedonistic activity, whether that's drug abuse, alcohol abuse, hedonistic, promiscuous sex.
00:26:57.000They're in school studying God knows what.
00:26:59.000They're getting a communications degree.
00:27:02.000They're in there getting a gender studies degree.
00:27:04.000And people make fun of the social sciences a lot.
00:27:06.000They make fun of Hispanic studies and African studies.
00:27:09.000But I would posit even things like political science, international relations, things that I used to study, communications, people who study things like sports broadcasting.
00:27:18.000They're in the same boat as the gender studies kids.
00:28:49.000But to get to, and that's why it resonates, but to get to a little bit more of a scientific analysis of our problem, to diagnose the opioid epidemic in a little bit more of a heterodox way, we've narrowed it down here to four things we have to focus on if we're going to solve the opioid epidemic.
00:29:21.000It has nothing even to do with drugs at all.
00:29:25.000This is what social scientists agree are the four things that people need to live a satisfying life.
00:29:32.000These are the four psychological, social needs that every human being needs to be satisfied.
00:29:38.000And we're going to bring out the whiteboard.
00:29:40.000A little bit of whiteboard nationalism on the show.
00:29:43.000We'll turn up the gain here so you can hear me still.
00:29:45.000And it's going to throw the white balance all off on the camera, but we're going to throw it up.
00:29:49.000These are the four things that we need to fix if we're going to solve the opioid epidemic.
00:29:55.000These are the reasons why people do drugs.
00:29:57.000These are the reasons why people need a substitute for that oxytocin.
00:30:02.000That's the pleasure chemical that you get when you're having a friendship, when you're in romance, when you're having sex.
00:30:08.000If you're not getting that in real life, if you need to short circuit that or get some kind of a shortcut for that with a drug, We need to look at how we're going to rebuild that so people don't even want the drugs, so that virtuous people don't even want to go out and numb themselves.
00:30:21.000And these are the four things family, you've got to have a family.
00:30:25.000You've got to have a mother and a father.
00:30:31.000And we say family, we don't mean, you know, this weird New World Order type of family where they say, you know, like, oh, we have this family of foster friends.
00:30:41.000You know, there's all these ridiculous new shows.
00:32:12.000You look at social media, you look at Facebook, you look at Twitter, you look at the texting and the phone.
00:32:18.000I catch myself doing this all the time.
00:32:21.000When people are communicating digitally, when so much of it is online, it's really hard for me to believe that connections, communication, friendships are being formed in the same way that they always have been.
00:32:32.000That is, in an organic, healthy, And well adjusted way.
00:32:35.000I just can't fathom how this revolution and how individuals, men and women, men and men, women and women, communicate with each other, has not transformed or adversely affected the way that they grow their relationships, right?
00:32:49.000If all relationships are based on communication, and a little thing happened the last five years, which is all the communication happens now with screens as opposed to face to face interacting with people in a very tactile and a very emotional way where there's touch, where there's eye contact, where there's emotions.
00:33:07.000Displayed in all kinds of things where there's real interaction as opposed to, you know, it's like, hey, what are you doing?
00:33:44.000You go from high school where you show up and you have friends, you're forced to interact face to face with people, you go to college and that's kind of like, uh oh, what happens after this?
00:33:54.000And then you fall off a cliff where you're moving out, you're not with your family anymore.
00:33:59.000For a lot of kids, they move into unfamiliar cities, they move into unfamiliar places, unfamiliar workplace industry where friendships have collapsed there.
00:34:08.000And it's not like they can join up with their local Masons.
00:34:11.000We hate Freemasonry, we hate Illuminism, but.
00:34:13.000That used to be a fraternal organization, or they join up with a bowling league, or they join up with a gun owners' club, or whatever it would be.
00:34:21.000There's no more community, no more fraternal organizations, so no close friends.
00:35:52.000When they showed up to be a shoemaker or they showed up to do their job, they felt like they were really needed.
00:35:57.000They knew the people in the community.
00:35:58.000They felt like they were doing something.
00:36:00.000Now, With the kind of international finance system that we have, international capitalist system that we have, not like I'm against markets, but you understand the very progressive nature of these destructive economic forces.
00:36:12.000Now we have it so that everyone is expendable.
00:36:14.000Every single person, whether you have a degree, whether you have a skill, whether you have something, you're always just an infraction away.
00:36:22.000Maybe you call a black person the wrong thing.
00:36:24.000You know, this week it's person of color.
00:37:42.000Which is to say that now that we've removed God, now that we've removed Christianity from everything, we've taken God out of the public school system.
00:37:49.000You can't pray, you can't learn about the Bible, you can't learn about moral virtues and values, you can't learn about, even if you look at it in the Jordan Peterson lens, as archetypes, as anecdotal and as archetypes, as myths, and I say myths in their original sense, which is a helpful way to convey lots of virtues and values in a story, in something that's memorable.
00:38:30.000If you look in the Deep South, there is still a very strong Christian influence in the schools and in civic life and among people.
00:38:37.000But speaking from my own experience, growing up in the suburbs, growing up outside of a major metropolitan area, it just simply isn't there.
00:38:44.000It's almost gone to the point where it's like a bad word.
00:38:46.000It's almost embarrassing to bring it up.
00:38:48.000To bring up religion is almost to appear corny, is almost to appear silly, anachronistic.
00:38:53.000To bring up Jesus Christ or God, you feel almost embarrassed to do it.
00:38:57.000I don't because I'm very proud of my faith, but I understand that a lot of people are brought up in a very secularized, sterilized world, materialist world.
00:39:07.000And you look in every one of these things, and this is happening.
00:39:11.000The family has gone away, close friends have gone away, meaningful work has gone away, the Christian tradition has gone away.
00:39:18.000If you look at family, for example, just about every statistic reflects this decline.
00:39:23.000You look at people that are getting married, and the percentage of people in terms of generations, the percentage of people that are married between the ages of 21 and 34 for millennials is down to 37%.
00:39:39.000So the amount of people that are getting married is just about cut in half.
00:39:42.000The amount of people that are living in a traditional family where the father's the breadwinner, mother stays at home, went from 68% of the population in 1940.
00:39:52.000Percentage of people that live in a home where the father's a breadwinner, mother stays home, in other words, where you have one person working and one parent that's really parenting, goes from 68% in 1940, which that seems wrong to me, I'm sure was higher, to 10% in 2000.
00:40:36.000If you look at it in, and this is a peculiar one in terms of housing, since 2009, the rate at which apartment buildings have been constructed has grown at triple the rate at which single family construction units have been built.
00:40:51.000So, in other words, you have three times the amount of apartment buildings built as you have homes being built, which tells you about Where the trends are going, where people are moving, what kinds of families are being built.
00:41:01.000If you look at friendships, in 1985, most Americans said they had three confidants, which would be close friends, people they could count on.
00:41:32.000You get these right, you got a happy population, you could pretty much figure things out.
00:41:37.000Economic catastrophe, war, famine, disease, you could recover if you've got these four benchmarks.
00:41:44.000But if you look, everyone from family to friendships to meaningful work to these answers for existential questions, every single one of them has been under assault unrelentingly from every institution of power for 50 years running.
00:41:59.000And it's really accelerated in the past 25 years, but it's been going on for 50 years.
00:42:04.000That bit by bit, piece by piece, the globalist, the globalist establishment has annihilated the family.
00:42:11.000They've ripped mommy out from the equation.
00:43:23.000And they've made it so that you can be perfectly content in your home.
00:43:27.000All these places of communal belonging, whether it's even a grocery store, even if it's a large, big box store, department store, that's gone now.
00:44:36.000Suffering, death, we live in a cult of death now.
00:44:40.000You know, where a baby, an infant, is a clump of cells.
00:44:43.000This is how it's described by our politicians, by our celebrities.
00:44:48.000The most vulnerable, the most innocent, The most pure form of life to them is comparable to a tumor.
00:44:54.000And we look at all these things that are going on in the world and how they're commercialized, whether it's these pictures of people suffering, how it's turned around.
00:45:03.000The best example is with this mass shooting in a high school where nothing is sacred.
00:45:08.000Even children gunned down in a place of learning by a madman, they're going to go on television and tell you about how we need less white people in the Senate.
00:45:17.000And until and unless we can come up with answers for these four guys, for these four categories, You're not going to solve the drug problem.
00:45:26.000You're not going to solve any problem, as far as I'm concerned.
00:45:28.000You're not going to solve anything until you solve these things.
00:45:31.000And notice, it's not a legislative fix.
00:45:36.000I know people love this kind of solution where they could go online and sign a petition, or they could ring up, they could light up the White House switchboards and tell Bloomf how mad they are about his most recent controversial statement.
00:46:07.000It's not going to be solved by some bureaucrat in a faraway capital writing something on paper and then collecting enough signatures and votes.
00:46:17.000And this is the root cause these problems, which are all solvable on an individual basis that you can solve with small lifestyle changes, will have a massive ripple effect across the society.
00:46:28.000This is why people are medicating, because they don't have these.
00:46:31.000But it's also why people have given up on everything else.
00:46:34.000You know, you look at, for example, the gun problem that we see last week.
00:46:38.000This is a great thing that ties in with this.
00:46:42.000You look at all these problems that we're having as a society that people ask, Nick, what are we going to do about this?
00:46:48.000Nick, what are we going to do about that?
00:46:49.000As if they're all isolated, as if they're all these compartmentalized different issues, as though every single one deserves its own prescription, its own pill, essentially.
00:46:58.000Every problem has its own panacea, every problem has its own pill, when in fact they're all connected.
00:47:04.000They're all connected and they all come back to this.
00:47:06.000A society is only as good as the constituent people that comprise it.
00:47:11.000It's only as good as its constituents, which are its people.
00:47:15.000What is a nation except for all the people living in it?
00:47:18.000And if the people in the country are not happy, if they're not healthy, if they're not virtuous, if they're not okay, if they're not doing okay, you know, how are you doing?
00:47:42.000I know we addressed that in a little bit of a different way.
00:47:44.000I mean, we tackled a lot of, you know, the stuff about opioids in terms of the numbers, in terms of what is an opioid, what, you know, what it causes, where it's prevalent in the New England Rust Belt, that kind of thing.
00:47:59.000But to really address the problem, we have to get away from that compartmentalized view, from this very tunnel vision kind of view that we have.
00:48:28.000I don't really care about conservatism.
00:48:31.000Conservatism as an abstraction, as an ideology, as something that was written by a savant 150 years ago, that's not what gets me up every day.
00:48:40.000What we are looking for are practical, pragmatic solutions to problems.
00:48:44.000That every person in the country is feeling today.
00:48:48.000And that is a summarization of our ideology, which is to say that we want to return to these perennial values that are intrinsic to every person.
00:48:59.000We want to return to these perennial traditions and wisdoms, which have allowed us to have these nice things and allowed us to be healthy and sane and smart.
00:50:20.000But we have somebody who says, actual compliant citizen.
00:50:23.000Who says, coming from the practical rehabilitation angle, what are your opinions on heroin assisted treatment programs?
00:50:30.000It could be a tough sell in the United States, but the Swiss have enjoyed significant success with this approach.
00:50:36.000I think that's going to be a part of it.
00:50:38.000I think if we do look at it from a more short term lens and away from kind of the longer term, more removed stuff, more removed social trends, if we're going to get right into the policy prescriptions, yeah, I think that could help.
00:50:57.000Treatments, for example, what do they call that?
00:51:00.000They call it the Narcan, I think they call it, or something to that effect, where, in terms of if people are overdosing, they introduce this life saving drug and that helps people.
00:51:09.000And they're developing new drugs which help people get weaned off of fentanyl and heroin and all the rest.
00:51:16.000So, yeah, I definitely think that would be useful today.
00:51:20.000I think those things can be introduced.
00:51:22.000Like you said, though, it's a tough sell because we have this tradition for about 100 years of just going balls to the wall on drugs that, you know, the only solution is arrest people.
00:51:32.000And to an extent, I think we should be.
00:51:33.000Amping that up, arresting people, deterring people from selling drugs.
00:51:36.000But if you look at people that are on drugs, the victims, it seems like that's the only way, or else they're just kind of left to their own devices.
00:51:48.000Then, if nobody's going to do the Stream Labs, if nobody's going to do Stream Labs, if we're all just going to do the super chats, and hey, look, the reason I do the Stream Labs, the reason I do that is because Google takes 30% when you do a super chat.
00:52:01.000So, for every super chat, if you put in a dollar, Google's taking 30 cents.
00:52:05.000If you put in $100, Google's taken 30 bucks.
00:52:20.000So we'll check out our Super Chats then.
00:52:23.000And we have Guns, Guns Yen Guaya, who says Looking at the different subcultures InfoTech has generated in the African American culture, what role do you think it will play on the evolutionary phasing out of?
00:52:38.000So, I guess he's talking about black people who are into gang culture and how will that take?
00:52:47.000I don't know if that's even going to happen.
00:53:03.000I think that increased a significant extent every year since civil rights started in the 1950s.
00:53:09.000Not since the welfare, in the 60s, since civil rights in the 50s.
00:53:13.000Every year since the 1950s, the rate of out of wedlock births has increased, the rate of drug use, the rate of all kinds of pernicious social trends has gone up.
00:53:29.000And if anything, I think it would increase.
00:53:31.000I mean, you look at the ability of modern communications and media technology and entertainment to take rap culture and gang culture and all these things and blast it out to, 100, 200, 300 million people, billions of people.
00:53:46.000If you look at its worldwide footprint, I think it could be increasing and even infecting white people and Hispanics.
00:53:52.000I think you see that all over the place.
00:53:54.000So I think it's phasing it in even further.
00:55:27.000So, um, That's what made me get away from the Ben Shapiro stuff and over to people like Pat Buchanan, Donald Trump.
00:55:34.000I got to say, turn them on to Donald Trump.
00:55:36.000I think if you turn them on to a lot of the Donald Trump stuff, if the Israel stuff doesn't work, and I don't know how that doesn't work, if you show people the double standard, the aid, the war crimes, and all the rest, and how they're just really using our country like a puppet, if that doesn't convince, I would say just look at Donald Trump stuff in 2016.
00:55:55.000I was earlier today going through watching the old Can't Stump the Trump videos, watching the old.
00:56:01.000Clips from the debates, and you realize Trump was this hilarious guy.
00:56:05.000He was talking the people's language, and Ben Shapiro was wholeheartedly against him.
00:56:44.000We're so lost in where we are, we don't even have a word to describe where we are.
00:56:48.000It's just in relation to other things, in relation to other historical periods that had their defining features and defining cultures.
00:56:56.000The only way we can define ourselves is in relation to other things.
00:56:59.000We fully actualized the relativity theory and, I guess, the age of relativity in the sense that everything is referential, everything is relative.
00:58:00.000That's Ohio, that's West Virginia, that's Rhode Island, that's New Hampshire, it's Massachusetts, it's everywhere in the Rust Belt, in New England, and I hear you.
00:58:10.000And by the way, I got your knife, I left it upstairs.
00:58:13.000Because I was trying to figure out all this tech.
00:59:21.000Put somebody's thing in somebody else's thing, and they could put this one on that egg and put it in this person, and they could mix and match all the different kinds of ways that they want.
00:59:31.000But at the end of the day, the only way you produce a child is a man and a woman together, one couple, one man, one woman, one kid.
00:59:46.000Get away from the Walmart, get away from that kind of stuff.
00:59:49.000It is just a civilization wrecker, it's a civilization killer.
00:59:54.000When you see these big stores and they move in, and all of a sudden, small businesses are shutting down, they're going out of business.
01:00:01.000You know, in my city, I drive down the street, and I'm sure people can relate, and there's always that one street.
01:00:07.000It's down that one major thoroughfare in the smaller town or mid sized town.
01:00:11.000That one major thoroughfare, which is car dealerships.
01:00:14.000Car dealerships on both sides, car dealerships everywhere.
01:00:17.000And in between the car dealerships, it's fast food.
01:00:19.000So you got Arby's, Popeyes, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Chick fil A, and it's.
01:00:25.000It's, you know, car dealership, Taco Bell, car dealership, McDonald's, Popeyes, car dealership, this one, car dealership, enterprise rent a car, car dealership, car dealership, you know, and all the rest.
01:00:36.000And you got to imagine that while all these local chains are closing, all these local restaurants, all these local stores are closing, and all the big ones stay open, and it's destroying community.
01:00:48.000Constancy's commentary We should give doctors who push pills the rope too.
01:00:54.000Exactly, pharmaceutical dealers, they got to get the death penalty too.
01:00:58.000The globalists have got to get the death penalty.
01:01:00.000I got in big trouble for saying that in April of last year, for saying we got to hang the globalists.
01:01:06.000And of course, I meant it rhetorically after a trial, after they are tried for their treasonous crimes.
01:01:13.000Pharmaceutical companies, if they are prescribing, and they prescribe 30 times the pills that the population of our size would require, 30 times the amount that we should need as a country.
01:01:26.000So the doctors, the pharmaceutical companies, they get it too.
01:01:31.000Thumbs up, someone with some dollar deuce.
01:02:11.000I don't know, though, by the same token, I haven't read too much, obviously, about this family, having just discovered them, but I got to imagine people that invent the drugs and get the drugs out there are not really to blame in the sense that there is a medical use, there is a medical utility for painkillers, right?
01:02:29.000The problem is when the doctors prescribe them, over prescribe them.
01:03:36.000If the Arabs are, they invaded us before, they'll invade us again, papa, papa.
01:03:40.000You want to do that fear mongering in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, by all means, go right ahead.
01:03:45.000But when they pull that crap in our country, and you got Bibi Netanyahu in these English speaking videos for our people, Propagandizing for war in Iran, that I can't take.
01:04:11.000I have to say, see, the thing is, Milo is a Zionist and also Jewish and also has no loyalty to America and he's also a race mixer and he uses drugs and he's a degenerate.
01:04:26.000So, I guess unfortunately, I'd have to go with Ben Shapiro because, at the very least, you know, Milo presents as America First.
01:04:34.000He presents as that, which is far worse, in my opinion, because Ben Shapiro, I guess he deceives, but on a different level.
01:04:41.000Milo, he goes out there and he says, We're for Trump.
01:04:44.000He's subverting an American nationalist position with this Israel loving stuff, with this degenerate stuff where he says, Oh, America First is about I can have sex with all kinds of these people and I can do these things.
01:05:19.000I drive around the city of Chicago, which you may see this if you drive around Chicago, you'll see a lot of Polish flags, you'll see a lot of Mexican flags.
01:05:27.000You love Mexico so much, go back to Mexico.
