transactions and recreate exactly what happened. the same thing applies with the dea s database. there s literally hundreds of millions of transactions.o if there s no feasible way for the dea to monitor and clear them as they go through. but what they are able to do is go backwards in time. what we ve done in this litigation is we ve been able to get access to the entire database, go back in time and identify which communities were flooded. tucker: we know a lot of those who were ohio and west virginia, asho you said. if you re a drug company and your spending millions and millions of opioid tablets to a single small county in west virginia, say, you have to know what s going on, don t you? you would think so. what i want to make clear is that this wasn t an isolatedn event. this happened all over theth country. for instance, i looked up you want to trinity college in
describing? those are his choices, not mine. mark: she is what tucker calls a zombie candidate. there s nothing inside there. her bigger problem is that she has just flipped her policy positions so much. definitely one of the candidates that puts her finger to the wing and will say whatever she needs to say to win would even be on some of these other things that we ve addressed tonight, we also have an msnbc guest who called for people to show up with pitchforks and torches at stephen ross house when he held these fund-raisers for donald trump over the weekend. here is what he said on msnbc. i have no problem with shining the light back on the ldonors who fund this kind of racialized hate. i want i go further. i want pitchforks and torches outside this man s house in the hamptons. i ve been to the hampton s, it s veryhampi nice. there s no reason why it has to be. there s no reason why he should have a nice little parties.
hartford, connecticut, . 192 million pills were sold in hartford, connecticut, during an eight year window. there s a pharmacy a half-mile from trinity college that sold 350,000 pills of opium in one year. so what my hope is is this is a great awakening. every community in the country needs toto understand this didnt happen in someone else s backyard. this happened in your backyard. tucker: so the point is, if the opposite of the lie that we are told by the libertarians, which is that this is a demand problem, we have a drug epidemic because americans americans wa. what you re telling us is when you flooded community with drugs, a lot of people become addicted to drugs. it s shocking, right? but let s make clear what we are floodingpl with. it s opium. it s been around since the byzantine era. governments have been toppled over it. the chinese had a war with it. it s opium, and we sold
76 billion pills of pharmaceutical-grade opium in america, so it s not shocking that what we are seeing is the fruits of laying all of these seeds across america. it s abuse, addiction, morbidity, mortality, and it s a tsunami and we haven t seen the end of it. tucker: yeah, and our politicians blame the population for ill notice. thanks very much for coming on tonight. godspeed. no problem. thank you. mark: going on in hartford, connecticut. almost everybody seems to have a conspiracy theory about jeffrey epstein s death. we are tracking all of them just for you. that s next on tucker carlson tonight. is a [upbeat music] now i m gonna tell my momma that i m a traveller i m gonna follow the sun now i m gonna tell my momma that i m a traveller
