n't heard before. Why don't we ship home one Chinese student for every fentanyl overdose death?

Now some of you would say wait wait you can't do that because then there would be no Chinese students left and we would lose the benefit of you know the cross-cultural exposure and I wouldn't want to lose that. But here's the thing. After we had shipped home 50,000 Chinese students, which would be 50,000 out of 340,000, after we shipped home 50,000 of them how much fentanyl do you think they would ship us after that? Well the people who have the money and the connections to get to school in the United States I have to think are the people who have a little more influence in China than the average person. I have to think it's moneyed people who can afford to send somebody over here. My guess is that after we sent home 50,000 students they would say maybe we shouldn't send so much fentanyl to the United States.

And don't believe anything you hear about China is working on reducing the fentanyl. They're not. They know the name of the person who is doing it. There's one person who is in charge of the whole deal. Apparently he's like the main fentanyl guy. They know his name. They know where he lives. He's still alive. As long as he's alive they're not doing anything. So anything else you hear is nothing. It's just garbage.

Congressman Max Rose out of New York is sponsoring some legislation to put sanctions on Chinese pharmaceutical companies because of fentanyl. I back that. So if you want to follow somebody on Twitter who's actually doing something useful look for Max Rose. I don't have his Twitter name but he'll pop right up if you search Max Rose. So he's my new favorite politician.

I'm hearing a lot of people say that it's irrelevant if we go after China because somebody else will make the fentanyl if they stop doing it and that it's really the responsibility of the person taking it and that we should just focus on personal responsibility. The people saying that don't know anything about addiction. They don't know anything about free will. They don't know anything about how people work. If you believe that it's personal responsibility end of story, if you want to take fentanyl and die go ahead and do it, then you don't understand how the brain works. You don't understand how addiction works. You don't understand how much of the world works. But the most important thing is that you don't understand the solutions.

And causes don't have to be connected. For example there's a burglary and crime problem in this country meaning that there are such things as people who rob your house. Now how do you deal with that? Because the responsibility for the decision to rob your house is the robber. Shouldn't they take personal responsibility and not rob your house? Well yes they should. Will they? No they won't. So does it help to know whose fault it is? No it doesn't help you at all to know that the fault is the criminal's because they're not going to fix it. Likewise the addicts are going to have a tough time fixing it themselves. So when you're worried about being robbed you lock your door. So you do something even though the personal responsibility is with the robber but they're not going to change so you have to do what you can do. Likewise you need to push on the dealers and try to shut them down and try to execute them as the opportunities arise because it might not change the situation but it will certainly change how the situation is viewed. It will certainly change how we think about it. If you see bodies dropping of the dealers your goodness you're going to think of fentanyl differently. It will inform you. For example just the higher visibility will tell people that the real fentanyl problem is not people deciding to take fentanyl. A lot of it is people who think they're taking some other drug like Xanax but it's actually a pill that's been pressed by a dealer and it's got fentanyl in there and none of the active ingredients in Xanax. That's how people are getting killed. So you have to go out after the pill pressers and execute them.

All right so I'm seeing discussions in the news about you know Joe Biden's forgetfulness and ignoring of the facts and making up stories and stuff. And then people of course are comparing that to the president getting his facts wrong and failing the fact-checking 11,000 times as they're saying hey is there something wrong with President Trump because of his age? To which I say I don't know that he's doing any more of it than he was doing
