he says that we gave our word. who did we give our word to? where is this contract that says we have to take tens of thousands of poorly vetted afghan refugees at the height of chaos? the person who made that contract and signed it would be a terrible negotiator. we should be putting the interests of our own citizens first and if our government is making promises to other people and other refugees, then let sa be honest about it and stop with these ridiculous platitudes because they don t actually mean anything unless there is substance behind it. tucker: what are the promises that our government makes to the american public? 70,000 people die of a drug ods, the fda madee that possible by approving all this poison into rule america, without a violation of a promise, what are we guaranteed by the u.s. government?
telling you that he has failed personally. it does not make sense. and it s not the issue. afghanistan is hardly the first disaster. as of tonight, our southern border has collapse, murder rates biking our cities, the covid vaccines do not work from inflation is out of control, the country s entire population entire student population has nd in more than a year. cnn reserves their energy to attack anyone who does his those trends. but now, suddenly, there anchors are completely and totally enraged because americans are trapped in afghanistan. they don t notice the 70,000 who die every year of drug ods. but this has sent them into peroxisome s of self-righteous rage. call us cynical, but we don t buy it. something else is going on here. we don t know what it is,
never means for the risk of covid or the ones who suffer from the government policies not the virus. tucker: i wonder what the behavioral and psychological costs are? if you keep kids in a state of fear for a year, what does that do to them as they get older? tucker, despite all of this, i feel very optimistic moving forward. i think we can right the ship if society can get back to normal as soon as possible, but it is important for parents to look for key behavioral issues with their kids, such as spending more time in their rooms isolated. sleep patterns, changed dramatically, are they more irritable than normal? if you see these changes in your kids, bring it to your cpc or pediatrician to help guide you as soon as possible. tucker: i wonder the drug ods, 90,000 you said, that is high enough that we cann attribute some of that to the lockdowns and you are confident of that?
spend less than 20 years into the new century, 19 to be exact, and sometimes it feels like america is beset by a stunning array of terrifying social problems, collapsing families, idle men, raising suicide rates. these are not small things, they are big society trends. and on some days they seemed intractable. what is causing them? it is complicated. but there is at least one thing that all of these slow-moving disasters have in common. they are all to some extent driven by addiction. nope he wants to say it out loud, but an awful lot of americans are not in their right minds a lot of the time. they are hooked on something. you have seen this doubt, they are grimly familiar at this point, all part of the story. america loses more than 70,000 people every year from drug ods. the death rate from overdoses has tripled in the last two decades and is driven by an explosion in opioid abuse. you know all of that.
