About this episode
Most days, we get up and think everything’s fine. We are alive, we are housed, and we are members of society we call a nation. Within the borders of that nation, we don’t let foreigners poison our children.
But we do let foreigners poison our children. Last year, foreigners, with the help of their American business partners, poisoned 112,000 of our children, relatives, and fellow citizens with fentanyl, meth, and other hard drugs. That’s more people killed every year by drugs than the total killed by the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.
In November, Chinese President Xi visited San Francisco. We cleaned up the streets for him. What that meant was moving the homeless fentanyl addicts to where he wouldn’t see them.
In that same meeting, President Biden and Xi agreed that China would restrict its exports of the ingredients to make fentanyl. Biden said, "It’s going to save lives.”
But it didn’t save lives.
