let s not fauci off the hook. a lot of this happened because of the school lockouts in the lockdowns and homes in the highest overdose rate in this country was in 2022. that was because people couldn t go to treatment. they couldn t have meetings. we are in a bad place so we ve got to figure out, like san diego did, it s really easy to clean this stuff up. you pass laws, enforce laws and people don t have to stand there and say we can t live like this. there is an intentional destruction of america and it should stop and it can stop. greg: speaking of covid, this is interesting. everything was shut down basically except for liquor stores, marijuana dispensaries because they were considered essential services. if they had shut them down, you would ve had moonshine which is what you are seeing on our streets. we have moonshine fentanyl because there s no access to
it is an abandonment of their constituents. they would rather assist you to become a zombie. you can use meth in the pipe, crack, whatever you want to do and it normalized that behavior. we have had people go to jail for like on texting or encouraging someone to commit suicide or talking them into it a little bit. what is this? the same dynamic. you have neighborhoods. there is a high overdose rate in this neighborhood. instead of being against the immigration crisis, right, wanting to close that border because that s where the drugs are coming in, the dynamic of people being so hopeless that the overdoses have increased, you might reflect on what you ve done with your policy. not just new york. this is l.a., san francisco and new york for policy tests. this is what they plan for the country. normalizing a slow suicide, normalizing it with policy.
behind me the southern border where some of these ports of entry are experiencing greater numbers of illegal immigrants coming through. title 42 just ended, we are seeing a surge. what s your prediction for what we will see going forward in the coming weeks and months? we will continue to see the numbers increase but more portly we will see a dramatic increase in the production and distribution of fentanyl as cv p resources are drawn away from the official checkpoints to manage the administrative overflow. it is an opportunity to smuggle in millions of fentanyl tablets which may raise the overdose rate and death mortality rate associated with fentanyl usage. will: michael w brown, thank you. pete: we begin with this on the other side of the room.
washington state near the canadian border. publishing 92,000. in 2018, a website called only in your state named bellingham the most happy town in washington. that is like being named the most most server town in california. in other words, it is a saying something because there is a lot of competition. but in 2021, washington state lawmakers decriminalized hard drug use and it appears happy town took him up on it because overdose deaths spiked. the fire department service for jerry to april of this year, they responded to more than two overdoses a day. in march of five-year-old girl overdosed on personal and so did two teenagers. common sense points out the overdose rate was rising across washington state but when the state senate pushed a bill to again make hard drug use a felony, it failed. so happy town took action. and now open drug use in
they have very different attitudes and philosophies when it comes to crime. unfortunately for san francisco and cities across the country, multiple independent academic analyses found the attitudes and methods do not have any effect on the fundamental crime rate. it certainly doesn t seem to be having any effect on the overdose rate in the city. that is certainly where most people s concerns lie. more than 200 deaths in the first three months of the year. that s a 41% increase since last year as new forms of fentanyl make their way on to the streets. the public defender says he wishes some of the success stories would make the news. he points to stories of people having their records expunged and finding a job or coming out of jail, getting into city college and finding their true passion. he wishes those made national headlines as opposed to this unfortunate killing of a local tech executive. back to you. jake ward, thanks for that reporting. we have a lot to cover in our second hou
