jail. judge doesn t have a choice. tucker: going to throw you in jail, boy. that was joe biden then. now joe biden is giving free crack pipes to black people. maybe the lesson here is growth is possible and wisdom really does come with age. you may be wondering as you watch all of this, hold on a second, is the real drug crisis in this country that crack heads don t have enough crack pipes? i seem to remember reading somewhere that more than 100,000 americans died last year from opioid ods. what are we doing about that? well, good question. the answer is nothing. we are not doing anything about that. those 100,000 americans were not from officially marginalized groups, their death had nothing to do with the equity agenda. in fact, their deaths may have helped the equity agenda by changing the demographics of the country in a way that benefits the democratic party. so as far as the biden administration is concerned, it is not a bad trend. sure come a lot of people died from opioid and
it s also the republican party problem. the ruling class in this country has deconstructed in the nation it was entrusted to govern and invited millions of people into this country and told them he just point to a white person and say it s your fault. with psychotic but historically, this is what imperial and colonial governments do. they encourage division between groups in other words making people hate each other is a point. the neoliberal politics of racial grievances of demographic deconstruction for about poisoning and the moral character of americans and making them so hateful to each other that they don t notice people like the unit party actively trying to destroy their lives. tucker: we just need to talk about americans. hundreds of thousands of americans have died of opioid ods and the only one in washington who notices his
