HAVE A GREAT WEEK. 6
[APPLAUSE]
>> UGH.
WHAT SHE WE GOT IN STORE.
YOU KNOW WHY?
’CAUSE IT’S ON DRUGS.
I MEAN, THE TOPIC IS ABOUT
DRUGS.
I CAN’T SAY IF THE PANELISTS ARE
ALL ON DRUGS BUT LET’S JUST SAY
THE DOG HIRED BY SECURITY TO
SNIFF FOR CONTRABAND STARTED
HUMPING KAT’S BOOK BAG AND THEN PASSED OUT FROM A CONTACT HIGH.
PASSED OUT FROM A CONTACT HIGH.
FIRST, HARRIS FAULKNER IS BACK.
I WONDER WHAT SHOULD BE COULD BE HAPPY ABOUT.
HAPPY ABOUT.
>> I’M HAPPY BECAUSE THE TEST I
HAD.
>> YOU THINK I WOULD NOT INCLUDE
THAT IN THE SHOW, HARRIS?
>> MY HUSBAND NOW HAS TO SEE
THAT TWICE.
>> WELL, AT LEAST - - DIDN’T GET
THE TATTOO.
GUESS WHO DID, STEWART VARNEY
AND HE’S NOT COMPLAINING.
ALSO BRIAN KILMEED IS BACK.
OBVIOUSLY SOMEBODY CANCELED.
YEAH, WE TRIED EVERYBODY
INCLUDING THE JANITOR WITH THE
LAZY EYE.
AND, AND, AND I’M VERY EXCITED
WE GOT A FIRST-TIME GUEST,
DR. CARL.
CARL IS A PROFESSOR OF
PSYCHOLOGY AT COLUMBIA.
RELAX, KAT, HE DOESN’T DO
OUTPATIENTS.
BUT,A, DR. HART, WHAT IS THAT
BOOK? DR. HART WROTE ONE OF THE
BRAVEST BOOKS YOU’RE GONNA FIND:
DRUG USE FOR GROWNUPS.
THAT WAS MY MAJOR AT BERKLEY.
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE YOU DIDN’T
ASK ME TO WRITE THE FOREWARD.
THE BOOK IS ABOUT LEGALIZING
DRUGS.
IT MIGHT MISS SOME OF YOU OFF,
BAT THAT’S WHAT THE DRUGS ARE
FOR.
BUT THE BOOK ISN’T JUST ABOUT
LEGALIZING THE EASY ONES LIKE
POT OR MUSHROOMS, OR THE WINDOW
CLEANER THAT KAT MIX SAID WITH
GATERADE.
BUT HEROIN.
NOW, THIS IS WHEN PEOPLE SAY NO,
NO, NO, NOT HEROIN.
LOOK WHAT THAT DRUG DOES.
THE LOST SOULS ON THE STREETS,
HANTING CITY CORNERS LIKE
GHOSTLY ZOMBIES LIVING FOR A
FIX.
THAT’S TRUE.
WE INDEED HAVE PROBLEMS.
BUT HERE’S THE DEAL, THAT’S
HAPPENING WHILE THE DRUGS ARE
ILLEGAL.
YET, THEY’RE EASIER TO GET THAN
COVID.
EVEN MY CAT, EVEN MY CAT IS
DEALING DRUGS.
COULD HAVE BEEN MORE SUBTLE.
YEP, WHILE WE POUR BILLIONS INTO
A DRUG WAR, NOT UNLIKE
AFGHANISTAN, WE JUST KEEP
GETTING OUR ASS KICKED.
WE FUND OTHER COUNTRIES’
MILITARIES TO FIGHT THE DRUG
TRADE THEN LET ANYBODY WALK
ACROSS THE BORDER WITH A BINDLE
UP THEIR ABOUT THE.
IT’S MORE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE
THAN A BROOM THAT SHOOTS
GLITTER.
70,000 PEOPLE DIED FROM
OVERDOSES IN THE U.S., 70,000
MORE PEOPLE THAN HAVE READ THE
BOOK.
DURING THE PANDEMIC THAT NUMBER
EXPLODED PROBABLY BECAUSE WE
WERE ALL TRAPPED INSIDE WATCHING
CNN.
WHAT IS CAUSING THIS WAVE OF
DEATH?
DON’T BLAME PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS
BECAUSE AS WE CUT DOWN ON THAT,
THE DEATH RATES SKYROCKET.
TODAY OVERDOSES ARE DRIVEN BY
FENTANYL.
AND LIKE THE CORONAVIRUS AND
CHEAP PATIO FURNITURE, IT’S MADE
IN CHINA.
IT COMES THROUGH OUR SOUTHERN
BORDER AND IT’S MIXED INTO OTHER
STREET DRUGS TO KICK IT UP A
NOTCH.
IT’S BASICALLY HAMBURGER HELPER
FOR JUNKIES.
TELL US.
>> ONCE THE PANDEMIC HIT WE
REALIZED WITHOUT CHINA WE’VE GOT
NO ANTIBIOTICS, NO MEDICAL
EQUIPMENT SO WHAT DO THEY DO TO
CHANGE THAT? NOTHING.
WHEN CHINA GOT ALL THAT
CAPABILITY, THAT’S HOW THEY
FOUND THE ANALOGUES FOR FENTANYL
WHICH THEY THEN INTRODUCED AS A
STREET DRUG, MADE A DEAL WITH
THE MEXICAN CARTELS AND HOW MANY
AMERICANS ARE DYING?
AND WE HEAR NOTHING ABOUT IT.
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO, NOBODY
CARES THAT YOU’VE GOT PEOPLE
STANDING IN THE STREET, PISSING
ON THEMSELVES, AND DEFECATING
EVERYWHERE.
YOU KNOW AND UNABLE TO FUNCTION.
WHAT DO THEY SAY?
LET’S REDUCE THE MANDATORY
MINIMUM SENTENCING FOR FENTANYL.
>> SO DURING 12 MONTHS OF THE
PANDEMIC, NEARLY A HUNDRED
THOUSAND AMERICANS HAVE DIED
FROM O-DS, THAT’S A 30 PERCENT
JUMP.
EXPERTS BLAME IT ON THE STAY AT
HOME ORDERS.
I COAPT BUY IT BECAUSE WHEN IT
COMES TO THIS STUFF, THE
GOVERNMENT IS LYE LIKE OUR
PRESIDENT’S UNDERPANTS, FULL OF
CRAP.
I FEEL BAD JUST SAYING THAT.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
HELP, IT’S TRUE.
REMEMBER THE NUTRITION PYRAMID,
IT WAS EVERYWHERE.
CLASSROOMS, WAITING ROOMS, THE
SHED WHERE I KEEP THE AU PAIR,
BUT ALSO CEREAL BOXES.
IMAGINE A BOX OF CARBS SAYS YOU
SHOULD STUFF YOUR FACE WITH
CARBS.
MY CHART HAD A TYPO AND I WAS
EATING 30 POUNDS OF CRABS A
MONTH.
A CEREAL COMPANY TELLING OUR YO
TO EAT MORE CARBS IS LIKE THE
DIAMOND INDUSTRY TELLING YOU HOW
MANY MONTH MONTHS SALARY YOU
SHOULD SPEND ON AN ENGAGEMENT
RING.
WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING
THE MONEY.
COOKIE KRISP HAD PARENTS
THINKING KIDS START THE DAY
RIGHT BY EATING A BOWL OF
COOKIES.
IT’S AMOSSING.
- -
IT’S AMAZING.
IT’S LIKE THOSE STORIES ABOUT
DOCTORS TRICKING WOMAN NUMBER TO
PHYSICAL CHECKUPS, THAT’S WHAT
THIS IS.
AND YES Y STOPPED DOING IT YEARS
AGO.
THEY REPOSSESSED MY VAN.
THIS CHART WAS DEAD WRONG, AND
DEADLY.
YOU HAD PROCESSED CARBS AND HUGE
QUANTITIES TURNING HEALTHY KIDS
INTO MINI BRIAN SOCIALERS.
RIGHT NOW OUR ADULT OBESITY RATE
IS 42% UP FROM 34% 10 YEARS
EARLIER, THE ONLY THING RISING
FASTER IS OUR BLOOD SUGAR.
THE SAME PEOPLE WHO LIED ABOUT
FOOD ARE LYING ABOUT DRUGS.
RIGHT NOW WHEN THE GOVERNMENT OR
MEDIA REPORTS O-D’S JUST LIKE
THE CRIME STATS THEY NEVER GET
SPECIFIC.
THEY NEVER TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH.
IT’S ABOUT ILLEGAL FENTANYL, NOT
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS, AND IT’S NOT
OVERDOSES IT’S POSENINGS.
PEOPLE BUY DRUGS WITH FENTANYL
IN IT AND THEY DIE, INCLUDING
PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW FROM TOM
PETTY TO MICHAEL K WILLIAMS TO
ATHLETES AND ACTORS.
THE PEOPLE YOU HAVE HEARD OF
DYING IS ACTUALLY FENTANYL
POISONING, NOT PRESCRIPTIONS,
BUT A POISON USED TO KILL PEOPLE
DELIBERATELY.
IT’S THE BIGGEST STORY YOU
AREN’T HEARING IS BECAUSE ALL
YOU HEAR IS THE WORD OVERDOSE.
THE WORSE PART OF THIS, PATIENTS
WHO RELY ON LEGAL OPIOIDS FOR
CANCER PAIN AND OTHER DISEASES
CAN’T GET THEM BECAUSE WE’VE
CONFLATED SAFE DRUGS WITH
FENTANYL.
THAT’S PRETENDING TWO TOTALLY
DIFFERENT THINGS ARE THE PSALM,
LIKE C CNN AND NEWS.
LONG WAY FOR A JOKE.
WHAT’S REALLY ACTUALLY TERRORISM
AND IT DRIVES LEGAL USERS TO
ILLEGAL STUFF AND THEY DIE
BECAUSE THEY CAN’T CONTROL THE
DOSAGE OR LIKE HOT DOGS THEY
THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT’S IN
IT.
YOU CAN ONLY BUY CIGARETTES
ILLEGALLA BUT ONE CIGARETTE HAD
A THOUSAND TIMES THE NICOTINE
YOU WOULD DIE, OR AT LEAST SOUND
LIKE KAT.
INSTEAD YOU COULD GO TO ANY
MARKET AND BUY A CARTON UNSAN
FRANCISCO THEY EVEN LET YOU TAKE
IT.
THE DOSAGE IS CONTROLLED.
MEAN WHILE, STATS SHOW ADDICTION
IS ACTUALLY RARE AMONG
PRESCRIPTION OPIOIDS, AND
OVERDOSES ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE
TO FIND.
I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT.
BECAUSE WE’RE OPERATING ON THE
LIE OF ALL DRUGS BAD AND PUNISH
THE LU-ABIDING.
HERE’S AN ANALOGY YOU’LL
UNDERSTAND.
WHAT’S THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT BY
GUN OWNERS? NOT THAT THE GUN
JAMS WHEN WATCHING THE VIEW.
IT’S THAT THE LAWS, IT’S THAT
THE LAWS PUNISH THE LAW ABIDING
WHILE DOING NOTHING ABOUT
ILLEGAL GUNS FUELING STREET
VIOLENCE.
IT’S THE SAME ARGUMENT HERE.
WE PUNISH THE LAW ABIDING AND
LET THE LAWLESS KILL.
WE’LL EVEN PROVIDE CLEAN NEEDLE
BAT DESPITE DRUGS THEY DIE FROM.
SADLY WE TARGET THE DECENT
PERSON WHO ADMINISTERS DRUGS
SAFELY IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
LIKE LIKE A DOCTOR’S OFFICE OR A
KAT’S APARTMENT.
IT’S TIME WE STOP THIS DEATH.
IT’S ALSO TIME TO LET PEOPLE
SEEK THE RELIEF THEY CHOOSE AND
IF THEY DON’T HURT ANYONE IT’S
NOBODY’S BUSINESS.
EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET HAS THE
RIGHT TO RELIEF, WHETHER IT’S A
MARTINI, A JOINT, OR AN OPIATE.
I’M TIRED OF BUYING CLEAN URINE
FROM STEVE DOOCY, BUT IF YOU
NEED ANY, DIC - -
D-M ME.
TONIGHT’S GUESTS, SHE SHE’S ON
YOUR FOX NEWS SCREENS MORE THAN
RELIEF DISASTER, HARRIS
FAULKNER.
HE LOVES HIS WARDROBE FOR THE
SAME REASON HE LOVES SOCCER,
LOTS OF BORING TIES, THE
PRESIDENT IN THE FREEDOM FIGHTER
BRIAN.
HE’S AN AIR FORCE VETERAN AND AN
EXPERT ON FLYING HIGH, COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR
DR. CARL HART. AND SHE’S 90-POUND SOAKING WET
AND SHE’S 90-POUND SOAKING WET
PROBABLY FROM ALL THOSE SPILLED
DRINKS, KAT.
>> YOUR AUDIENCE IS INCREDIBLE.
>> I’VE NEVER HEARD THEM THIS
LOUD.
>> IN THE SPIRIT OF THE SHOW, WE
DRUGGED THEM.
BY THE WAY, A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON’T KNOW THIS ABOUT THE
ORIGINAL FOX AND FRIENDS BUT THE
SEGMENT COOKING WITH FRIENDS,
RIGHTS, IT WAS YOUR IDEA BUT IT
WAS ABOUT METH.
>> THAT’S A VERY GOOD TRIVIA
NOTE AND THAT WAS ONLY IF YOU
INTERVIEWED OUR STAFF.
>> DID I CONVINCE YOU IN ANY WAY
SHAPE OR FORM WITH MY MAIN
AUGUST? I ASSUME YOU ARE
PROBABLY ANTI-LEGALIZATION.
>> I HAVE NOT DONE AS HEAVILY
RESEARCH AS YOUR TELEPROMPTER
DATES, BUT I WILL SAY
FUNDAMENTALLY I DON’T THINK IT’S
GOOD TO LEGALIZE TERRIBLE
BEHAVIOR THOUSANDER ARGUMENT
WOULD BE YOU HAVE ALCOHOL, CALM
ALCOHOL’S OUT THERE, ISN’T
ALCOHOL A DRUG.
MY SENSE IS THE BIG STORY IN
THAT STORY WAS WHAT CHINA’S
DOING.
>> I TRIED TO SELL IT TO THEM
THAT WAY.
I KNOW THAT YOU’D ONLY BE INTO
IT IF I BLAMED CHINA.
>> YOU HAVE A PANEL HERE AND YOU
LOOK PAST THE PANEL, WHO ARE YOU
TALKING TO?
>> SOMETIMES I TALK TO ME.
>> OKAY, FINE.
YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE MONITOR.
>> HIS PICTURE IS IN MONITOR.
>> LOOK AT HIS BOOK, WHITE MAN
ON THE TOP, BLACK MAN ON THE
BOTTOM, - -
>> WHAT?
>> RACIST.
YOU ARE A RACIST.
ALL RIGHT, I GOTTA MOVE ON, I’M
TIRED - - THANK YOU.
PLOD.
>> NO, NO.
>> WOW.
ALL RIGHT.
>> YOU’RE NOT GOING TO TO AMEND
THAT STATEMENT?
>> AMEND YOUR BEHAVIOR.
>> YOU AGREE WITH THAT.
>> WHATEVER YOU DO IN YOUR
PRIVATE TIME IS UP TO YOU.
I WANT TO GET THE PROFESSOR IN
BECAUSE HE’S - - HOW WOULD YOU
RESPOND - - HE BROUGHT UP THE
ALCOHOL THING.
AND THERE’S THIS THEORY YOU CAN
ONLY HAVE ONE BAD THING BE LEGAL
BUT WHAT’S YOUR TAKE ON THAT?
>> I DON’T KNOW, ALCOHOL IS BAD
IS THAT A BAD THING?
>> I’M SAYING THE COUNTER TO MY
ARGUMENT AND FUNDAMENTALLY I
DON’T THINK LEGALIZING HEROIN
AND ALL THESE DRUGS THAT ARE
LEGAL NOW ARE GOING TO BE
PRODUCTIVE AND THE COUNTER
ARGUMENT TO MY STATEMENT IS
WELL, ALCOHOL ISN’T THAT
TECHNICALLY A DRUG? ISN’T THAT
ADDICTIVE?
I GET IT, BUT TO ME IF YOU
LEGALIZE ALL THESE DRUGS TELL ME
A PLACE WHERE IT WORKS.
>> I DON’T THINK WE’RE SAYING
LEGALIZE, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
LEGALLY REGULATING.
SO THAT MEANS THAT ADULTS HAVE
ACCESS TO THESE ACTIVITIES
WHETHER IT’S DRUGS, WHETHER IT’S
DRIVING AN AUTOMOBILE, WHETHER
IT’S OWNING A GUN, ADULTS HAVE
ACCESS TO THESE ACTIVITIES.
>> AND HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT THE
PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THERE STREET?
>> UH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
>> DO THEY GO GET MORE OF THEM
OR LESS?
>> THE PEOPLE SLEEPING ON THE
STREETS, MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE,
ARE NOT THERE BECAUSE OF DRUGS.
I KNOW THAT’S THE POPULAR THING
FOR PEOPLE TO SAY.
MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE THERE
BECAUSE THEY’RE HAVING FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS, BECAUSE OF MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES, BUT IT’S EASY TO
BLAME DRUGS.
THAT’S WHAT WE DO IN THIS
COUNTRY, WE BLAME DRUGS FOR ALL
OF OUR SORT OF ILLS - - THAT’S
NOT WHAT’S GOING ON.
>> YOU’VE BEEN LIVING IN THE
CITY.
>> OF COURSE.
>> SO THE CITY OVER THE LAST SIX
MONTHS MENTALLY ILL ARE
POPULATING MOST OF WHAT WE’RE
SEEING RIGHT NOW.
>> AND ON THIS PANEL.
>> YEAH, THAT TOO.
>> EXCLUDING HARRIS.
>> IF YOU’RE LOOKING AT TWO
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF DRUGS,
THOUGH.
WHAT THE DOCTOR IS TALKING ABOUT
LEGALIZING, LIKE YOU WOULD
ALCOHOL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
KWRORBGSER.
TALKING ABOUT REGULATING THE AGE
OF PEOPLE WHO CAN USE A CERTAIN
DRUG THAT’S ALREADY CON
CONSIDERED A CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCE. PEOPLE ARE DYING
FROM FENTANYL BECAUSE THEY’RE
DYING IT OFF THE STREETS WHAT
THEY THINK IS ZAN, AND SOME OF
THEM ARE DOING IT BECAUSE THOSE
SUBSTANCES ARE HARD TO GET
BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT REGULATED
AND WHERE CHINA COMES INTO PLAY
AND WHERE BECAUSE I DON’T NEED
THE TELEPROMPTER, SWEETY
[LAUGHTER]
>> LOW-HANGING FRUIT.
WHERE CHINA COMES INTO PLAY IS
RIGHT AT THE NEXUS OF WHERE
MEXICO IS FEASTING LIKE
SCORPIONS AT OUR BORDER AFTER
THOSE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET IN
HERE ILLEGALLY AND USING THAT AS
COYOTES.
>> A LOT OF THAT PROBLEM WOULD
BE SOLVED IF DRUGS WERE
LEGALIZED THERE WOULD BE NO
DEMAND FOR THE SUPPLY OF THE
CARTEL.
>> AND PERHAPS CONTROLLING THE
BORDER SITUATION.
>> ALL ADULTS THAT WANTED TO DO
THESE THINGS, I DON’T THINK YOU
CAN SAY YOU LIVE IN A FREE
COUNTRY IF YOU DON’T OWN YOUR
OWN BODY AND THEY’RE PUTTING
FENTANYL IN COCAINE.
>> THEY’RE PUTTING IT
EVERYWHERE.
>> NOBODY TRYING TO DO COCAINE
WANTS TO FULL ASLEEP, THAT’S WHY
THEY’RE DOING COCAINE.
>> ONE THING ABOUT FENTANYL,
IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
FENTANYL HAS BEEN A LEGAL DRUG
IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE THE
1960S AND IT’S AN IMPORTANT DRUG
IN TERMS OF PAIN RELIEVER.
IT’S PRESCRIBED TO TREAT
MODERATE TO SEVERE PAIN, AND
IT’S AN EXCELLENT DRUG AS LONG
AS PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY
HAVE FENTANYL.
THE PROBLEM IS, WHEN PEOPLE
DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE
FENTANYL, THEY MAY TAKE TOO MUCH
OF IT AND OVERDOSE.
>> SO THEY’LL TAKE A XANAX NOT
KNOWING FENTANYL, WHICH YOU SAY
IS POWERFUL IFs A MOR OWN AND
GIVE YOUS ATHE SAME KIND OF
HIGH, THAT’S WHY THEY USE IT TO
LACE IT.
>> IT’S MORE POTENT THAN
MORPHINE.
THE PROBLEM IS NOBODY REALLY
WANTS TO MIX THEIR COCAINE, EVEN
PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING COCAINE,
THEY DON’T WANT TO MIX IT WITH
FENTANYL, THESE THINGS HAPPEN
ACCIDENTLY.
THERE ARE Y FIXES TO THIS, JUST
LIKE THEY DO IN EUROPE.
WE CAN HAVE THESE THINGS CALLED
DRUG CHECKING FACILITIES ALLOWS
PEOPLE TO SUBMIT SMALL SAMPLES
OF THEIR DRUGS AND THEN THEY GET
A CHEMICAL PRINT OUT AND IF
FENTANYL IS IN IT EVERYONE KNOWS
THAT FENTANYL IS IN IT AND YOU
DON’T TAKE IT OR YOU SCALE BACK
HOW MUCH YOU TAKE.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY IN THIS
COUNTRY TO MAKE THESE THINGS
AVAILABLE, WE HAVEN’T MADE THEM
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE
WE DON’T CARE.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW, I HAVE AN
ALTERNATIVE, I JUST HAVE A, YOU
KNOW, BECAUSE I’M FAIRLY WELL
OFF I JUST HAVE A DRUG TESTER.
SO I JUST GIVE IT TO THEM AND IF
