ou know why it's a last name that I can't say in public? Because the last name is spelled S-I-R-I, and if I say his last name, it will activate all your iPhones. So I can't say it. But somebody named Aaron with the last name that's an iPhone digital assistant, he tweets this. That the FDA, now this is the FDA is asking this. This is a key part of the story. The FDA is asking a federal judge to gra…

The government has to fall on just this topic. And by the way, I would say the same thing about Trump. I think if we had gone this long and Trump hadn't done a thing about fentanyl, I'd want him replaced too. Just to be clear, no politics involved here. No politics. I don't care who it is. If you can't get this done or at least try hard.
What do we do about drug overdoses? Well, it turns out that there's a very clear way to solve it because the Netherlands solved it and other countries have too. So this big old drug problem that we're wrestling with, it does have a known solution. Basically, you arrest the people who are doing drugs in the streets or addicts. Basically, you force them into rehab. You give them a choice of jail or rehab, which basically forces them into rehab. And it works. So you keep arresting the dealers, but the people get rehab. It's just forced. Now, apparently forced rehab works just as well as voluntary. Did you know that? Rehab isn't really a perfect process. It's not very good at all, actually. But it's the best we have. And it doesn't matter if you're forced into it or you do it voluntarily. Apparently you get about the same level of success.
All right, so given that, as Michael Shellenberger is doing, at this point he's just a national treasure because the two of our biggest problems in the world, climate change, he's behind the push for nuclear energy. And now the drug overdose problem and the homelessness and all that, he's taking that on. And it turns out that these are problems with solutions. I mean, think about this. We have lots of problems where you can't really know what the solution is, like inflation. I don't know exactly what to do about that. I mean, we could stop wildly spending, but once it's here and we've already done the wild spending, what do you do about it? So there's lots of problems that we don't know what to do about them. But this isn't one of them. Climate change is not a problem we don't know what to do about it. We do. Nuclear energy. This overdose problem is not a problem that we don't know what to do about it. We do. We know exactly what to do about it because other countries have handled it with great success. We just do what they do. And there's no reason to think that our culture or our situation, our society, would have a different outcome at all once you know what the solutions are. I mean, they're just basic stuff.
Well, so here's my take on China. So they've got a one-two punch going on here. So they send fentanyl to kill liberals mostly. All right, now that's a gross generalization. There are plenty of conservatives who died from fentanyl, but it's probably concentrated a little bit more on the left. Now, who would normally protect the people on the left in this country? The people on the right, right? It's usually the conservatives who are backing strong police forces, strong defense, protection basically. But the conservatives are not protecting the people on the left who are dying by tens of thousands. Why not? Why not? Why is this the exception? I mean, generally we have a country where the conservatives are protecting liberals from killing themselves one way or another. But why not this time? It's because our press is preventing it. Because the press decides what we think, right? The public's opinion and what we do is based on the media.
So to me it looks like China has neutered the conservatives because they somehow can control the media. And once the conservatives are off the field, they can just murder the liberals because there's nobody there to protect them. That's what it looks like to me. They just neuter the conservatives with the media and murder the liberals with fentanyl.
Apparently, and this is an unconfirmed report, so put this in the category of things I saw claimed on Twitter. I would need a confirmation on this one. But apparently, according to the story, China is paying influencers in this country to run a video that says COVID came from the U.S. from a white-tailed deer. That's what China is doing right now. They're pushing propaganda in this country, paying influencers. Another influencer said no, turned them down. But they're pushing the idea that it came from the white-tailed deer.
Okay, here's a little bit more on China. Did you know that China, I think it's the top female player from China, she was a whistleblower and said some powerful Chinese Communist guy sexually molested her. I don't know the details of that, but then she disappeared. That's right. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. She disappeared, and nobody knows where she is. But they've seen one screenshot. Oh yes, I should note that there are lots of conservatives, and let's say rural Kentucky, who have drug problems. But the fentanyl part of their drug problem is accidental, as it is for most people actually. There are people who do it intentionally, but the overdoses are usually the unintentional ones.
So this Chinese tennis player was sexually abused or raped, I think that is her claim, and then the Chinese government disappeared her. Now Rose McGowan tweeted on this. And Rose McGowan got the MeToo movement going in this country. And this is a bigger story than maybe you think, because first of all, it seems very clear what happened. That the Chinese government probably raped a tennis star. She talke

d about it, and then they're imprisoning her for just talking about it. That probably is what's happening. And we're not going to get any confirmation or denial that is credible. So we're never going to know what's happening, and I don't think we'll ever see her again. I think she's done. Now, up until now I have an opinion that China has mostly pissed off the men in the United States. I can't pr…
