Alex Jones and Kevin Booth dissect the "American Drug War," alleging Nixon and Reagan intentionally created it to control populations and profit corporations. They claim the CIA introduced LSD, fluoride dumbs down children, and elites engineered AIDS to maintain tyranny. Rejecting Barry McCaffrey's statistics on drug use drops, they argue 90% of narcotics police are dealers and link the prison-industrial complex to figures like Joe Arpaio. Ultimately, the discussion frames these policies as a massive deception where legal substances are ignored while millions are jailed for illegal ones, serving elite interests rather than public safety.

They can't even keep drugs out of the prison system.
unidentified
You know, they have guys in prison that are O.D.' 's and things of that nature.
Even in the home.
What's happening here in America is that our government is inadvertently supplying the hard drugs to the people in this country, then they're putting the people who use them in this country in jail.
Fixated on terror, most Americans have forgotten they are fighting another war.
But from its inception, the drug war has become the longest, most costly and destructive war in American history.
The drug war is a perfect continuing example of why we will never win the war on terrorism.
Because it captures the ineffectiveness of the U.S.
government, and it captures the fact That it's being used against poor people and not against the people who benefit most from drugs, which are the bankers that launder the money.
We don't send nicotine addicts to jail.
We don't send alcoholics to jail.
We shouldn't send drug addicts to jail.
Oh my God!
Do you mean they'll legalize marijuana and you can buy heroin at 7-Eleven?
People have to realize that most of our history we didn't have federal laws against the use of drugs.
50 billion dollars a year at the local, state, national level clogging our courts year after year.
I mean people fighting the drug war need to articulate that what we're after is not blanket legalization but decriminalization.
Why in the world do we have millions of innocent young people wasting away in prison when the big people who are committing these huge atrocious crimes are getting away every day?
My own personal opinion, I think the jail cell is better than the rehab.
This year is the 30th anniversary of the Drug Enforcement Agency.
It was created by Richard Nixon in 1973.
And Richard Nixon is really the creator of this drug war from 1971.
With every passing day of this drug war, the battle line seems to be getting harder and harder to see.
And yet it's almost impossible to believe that the same rules apply to everyone.
Well, a lot of us are very uncomfortable with this notion of a war on drugs.
What we attempted to do was articulate a very different concept, which was viewing the drug issue as a cancer-affecting American community.
You used the wrong word.
You said war.
If this was a war, we would have solved the war and won the war.
This is the greatest country in the world.
When we go to win a war, we win it.
We got more drugs today than we did 10 years ago.
And that's got to tell you that there is something bigger.
That's not being shown.
In 1972, when Richard Nixon started the war on drugs, the federal budget allocation was $101 million.
Going into fiscal year 2000, the federal budget allocation was $20 billion.
Yet there were more drugs in the country in 2000.
They were of better quality and they were less expensive than they were in 1972.
What's wrong with that picture?
We arrested 14 people.
Targeting high schools, selling heroin.
We almost totally eliminated the production of coca.
The drug warriors love to talk about illegal drugs.
But what drives the motives to legalize certain harmful and equally addictive substances?
Money.
Money controls this whole movement.
You have a group called the Partnership for a Drug-Free America.
Well, first of all, of course, we don't have a drug-free America.
Never have, never will.
But who are the funders?
who are the main funders of the country for the American of Old.
But, you know, like the lessons learned when we went to the RNC back in 2004.
That was definitely something that I learned a lot of lessons and how to deal with various situations.
One of the things I'd like to start by talking about is that everybody out there should go and just Google past donors to the Partnership for a Drug-Free America and start researching who is financing this thing called Partnership for a Drug-Free America and this fake, this front that they've given it like it's like a bunch of angry mothers of children who have died of drug overdoses that are all
The ones financing this thing.
And when you realize that past donors are alcohol, tobacco companies.
Donors right now are all big pharmaceutical companies, health insurance companies.
I mean, it just all makes sense.
And you can't really call this thing a conspiracy anymore if you just do that.
I mean, to be clear, they know that it's their alcohol and pharmaceuticals that are killing 99% literally, so they know how to give you a boogeyman to go after instead of their stuff.
Prohibition was ending, and it was the alcohol makers, the distillers, who did come out and push Yeah, and as crazy as it sounds, I really, um, and most people are always going to argue this about the whole, like, I just want to get high argument, and that's what they've done so well.
to do so i mean this was this is diabolical yeah and it is you know crazy the town that i really um...
and most people are always going to argue this about the whole like i just want to get high argument and that's what they've done so well i don't think that there's hope for our country until we do legalize marijuana Well, Kevin, do I use any drugs?
Right, but that's, you know, but the government is going to continuously use that thing of just like, oh look, it's a bunch of stupid tie-dye wearing hippies who want to legalize this stuff so they can get high.
And they've used that same kind of line and it's still working today.
You know, and it's still working today when When people bring it up and, you know, I mean, I don't know if you follow the groups like MPP, who's a marijuana policy project, and they're fighting for medical marijuana.
Yeah, yeah, and, you know, I mean, these, you know, they're fighting a good fight out there, but, you know, there's also another really good documentary on choke time that I would urge everybody to see called In Pot We Trust.
Where it kind of shows what was going on here in Southern California and the DEA raids and how they track down the marijuana and how they're, uh, how, you know, and that's another thing the drug war has created too is that we, you know, we have 11 states now that have legalized medical marijuana, but you still have the federal government coming in and stepping, stepping in on it.
So, you know, I would say marijuana is at the nexus of this whole thing.
And so it's also at kind of the nexus of like the state versus federal.
And really, you know, when I go to universities and I've been doing more and more speaking at Memphis, Tennessee on the 15th, you know, people, one of the questions that always comes up is just saying, so you're saying we should just legalize drugs and kids should be, you know, my sons and daughters should be allowed to buy crystal meth at the 7-Eleven and PCP, that's what you're saying?
And that's how the drug warriors have sold this thing, is like, that's That would be the alternative to what we have now.
And they've done a really good job of making everybody believe it.
Yeah, I mean, these guys basically discovered, like, you know, what an incredibly easy way it would be to control entire populations of people with crack cocaine.
It's insane, and it's just what makes my blood boil is to know, I mean, look, everybody, you know, who are you going to talk to who's going to still sit there and say, yeah, Nixon was a good person?
I mean, everybody is coming to the realization that Nixon was a crook and a liar and a thief and a cheater and a psycho and all those things.
I'd say it's pretty much unanimous.
And yet we are still engaged in his drug war.
Um, and everybody just seems to be okay with that.
I mean, you know, going on five years if you're going to include, like, the festivals and the... I remember you consulting with me and I was sitting around your table saying, what do you think I ought to put in this?
And going and doing shoots with you and stuff and doing research with you four years ago.
Yeah, it was like the summer of 2003, I think, that I... I was really... The film, Ron Mann's Grass, which is a great film, narrated by Woody Harrelson, And I think Chris Athenas was playing it on local access TV in Austin and I actually saw it there for the first time and I was like...
Wow, this is a great film.
Somebody needs to do a film like this, but cover all drugs, not just marijuana.
Well, I kind of follow a timeline, starting off with the creation of the DEA in 71, and I parallel that to myself as You know, growing up as a young teenager in the early 70s with a brother who was schizophrenic and had a drug problem.
And also, you know, older parents.
I was a baby of a family.
A very common thing of having, you know, older corporate parents who are both heavy, heavy drinkers.
But my parents were not the type of people that You know, ever beat me, or got in fights, or... No, your dad was a really nice guy, but he was like something out of a movie, of a caricature of a corporate executive, and I remember sitting around drinking vodka martinis with him, because Kevin used to live here in Austin, and his dad had a ranch out in Fredericksburg, and I liked your dad, but at the same time, it was drugs, everyone needs to go to prison for them, and I got family that's the same way, not my dad, but folks out in the country, and it's like, but we drink our whiskey every night.
Well yeah, we lived in Los Angeles when we were back in the early fifties and my brother got schizophrenia and they wanted to blame it on the LSD and the marijuana and I remember my mom used to He just stood up at night crying and actually saying, you know, if it hadn't been for those dang beetles, you know, if it hadn't been for those dang beetles bringing those drugs over here from England.
So, you know, and in that time I try to, like, go into, like, a little bit of the histories learned from Prohibition and parallel the classic gang leader of today with Al Capone.
You know, some people might say, um, Ricky Ross was a modern-day Al Capone, so you could have him say, Ricky was that, or this other guy in my film, T. Rogers, who was the co-founder of the Bloods.
It's funny, he was just on Glenn Beck the other day, and Glenn Beck totally cut him off and was kind of weird with him.
But he's kind of breaking out doing some more stuff himself.
But try to just compare that, because, you know, a lot of people will roll their eyes.
Once again, it's like when people, you know, on the movement trying to end the drug war bring up these age-old arguments that make total sense, the people on the other side will just roll their eyes and just say, oh, that old argument I heard a hundred times, but you can't Debate the drug war without talking about the prohibition of alcohol and what happened with the prohibition of alcohol.
And we're going to do that, but before I forget, let me throw this in.
The one good argument they've got, and of course at its base it's still a fraud, but it sounds good, is look at these gangbangers.
Look at how nuts these drug heads are.
Look at all the crime and murder associated with it.
Look at all the money.
And it's almost like a class thing.
Look at these poor people getting rich.
They focus the drug war down on the low-level distributor, retailer level, and they make it a racial thing, just like in the movie The Godfather, which is based on a true story, where he says, you know, we'll keep it in the colored areas, they're animals anyways, let them lose their souls.
And so that was the attitude, the red light district was always on the other side of the tracks, so it was also a way, like in Thule, as you cover in the film, to wage war against them.
But their main argument is, well, look at all the money, look at the crime.
You're always going to have criminals.
It made criminals move into drugs.
So we're not for the criminals that are involved in robbery and other things.
It's that you now gave them more money, more funding, more power, a way to corrupt police, just like with prohibition, as you cover in the film.
Well, yeah, I mean, and let's face it, if we outlawed cigarettes tomorrow, then these street gangs, the Bloods and Crips, would be selling cigarettes tomorrow.
You understand?
It's just real simple.
I mean, if you outlawed gasoline, then the Bloods and the Crips and MS-13 will be selling gasoline tomorrow.
Yeah, no, they've actually done studies on per capita basis that shows, really, that by outlawing strong narcotics, The same amount of people per capita do strong narcotics.
And it's just, you know, people want to think like, oh God, if you legalized heroin, everyone would start doing it.
Well, you know what?
In reality, and I've known a lot of drug heads, most people that I know have tried heroin don't like it.
They do it one time, it makes them throw up, and they're like, oh god, you know what I mean?
It takes like a certain kind of screwed up individual to want to go down that path, and they're going to do it regardless of whether it's against the law or not.
Yeah, but at the same time, too, what's classic about that is that, you know, I think alcohol is probably one of the strongest, most mind-altering drugs as well.
Yeah, I mean, it's just, you know, I mean, it is kind of a slap in the face when you come from a hospital watching, you know, your loved ones, and when you go into these, you know, when my mom was dying of liver failure, I'd go into this ICU unit and And there would be like a whole bunch of older people kind of in her same boat.
And it was just like this weird horrible vinegary smell.
That you could just smell like this is what the end of the line is like for an alcoholic.
And this is really where most hardcore alcoholics are going to end up.
No, I mean, it's absolutely, you know, I mean, it's really being controlled.
I mean, when you, I mean, at this point right now, when I hear, you know, Bill O'Reilly, like, poo-pooing what Eastside Morales said about my film, I just looked directly at him like, well, I mean, he's supporting the pharmaceutical company.
And it's, you know, tonight, Eastside Morales, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, you know, was on Bill Maher.
And, you know, if you have the clip, you should play it, because the way he put it was really great, but he was talking about how we're living in an age now where the privatization of all these government functions are basically just, like, looting the country.
And, you know, and our government is waging these, like, phony propaganda wars to allow these corporations to get away with this.
And he put it in a really good way, and he just goes, and by the way, right now, if you go to YouTube, you can check out the film, American Drug War, where they talk about how our government's been caught shipping in a drug.
And it's just, it disappoints me a little bit because I really, I do, I'm a Bill Maher fan, I'll admit it, I watch Bill Maher every week.
It seems like, yeah, but he seems like he'll just get that far and once you talk about Building 7 or any of those things, he just like, turns, you know?
And it's just like, it's very...
It's very interesting to watch like where Bill Maher's, you know, suddenly just like, oh, that's crazy.
Hold on, let me just tell them, we're running out of time.
Trey has those.
Can you move them on a thumb drive to this computer?
He's got the Bill Maher and he's supposedly got the other thing too.
But that's good news.
I mean, when the Defense Department, and when it's Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity, it's Defense Department.
I mean, that's come out that they're Defense Department run.
And again, it's not our military anymore, folks.
And your son who's in the Army isn't involved.
It's the higher-ups.
Psych warfare.
When they do this, I mean, that means it's hurting them.
They're scared.
Because they all know, Bill O'Reilly did pieces back in the 80's, I've got, where he admitted JFK was killed, he said E. Howard Hunt did it, he said the government shipped in drugs, he did whole pieces showing video being loaded, cocaine at Ella Pongo, I don't know if you ever saw that, but it's the same stuff Silly talks about, but I didn't know there were newscasts.
Yes, I mean, I've even, like, you know, I've got my doctor telling me, like, I need Lipitor, and then I find out that that's, you know, a whole other, you know what I mean?
Well, yeah, I mean, and I had even had people from Showtime talking to me about doing a series out of this.
And I actually had the outline, almost enough footage for an entire series, minus like a couple of like throughput, like hosting type narration segments.
Just a total thug, drunk driving, running over things, literally plowing his car into businesses, stumbling around, arresting people if their swimming pool looks like it's dirty, spying on everyone, no Bill of Rights, random checkpoints, and he just stumbles around, just bragging how powerful and great he is.
And people in Phoenix, most people They love him, or they say they love him.
I mean, you're hard-pressed.
I mean, I would go into a coffee shop, and you get some young kid there that you could tell doesn't agree with him, and you'd say, well, what do you think about Joe Arpaio?
And they would just sit there and look at you and go, I love him.
He's great.
You know, it's literally that kind of mentality when you're in Maricopa County.
I mean, people are literally, like, not... People are so afraid of him that they won't even, like, say anything bad about him.
He made me, like... I had to, like, wait out in the sun for, like, several hours.
Um, and he pulls up, and it wasn't a limousine, but it was kind of like a stretch car, and I know it was, it was like a big armored, like, town car.
Um, and he, and he finally pulls up like a rock star, and these guys come out, and he's like, alright, I'm gonna take you through, on the tour of the thing, and, and he just turns it on, you know, and, uh, uh, you know, he's, uh, he's a character.
He's crazy.
Back at that time, he was talking about having his own reality show, where it's gonna be a reality show of him just being mean to prisoners.
And what I love too is that he talks about how a lot of the prisoners there are awaiting trial.
So you've got thousands of people there that haven't even been convicted yet, right?
And yet then when you turn around and I go, well, do those guys get like, do they have to eat like rotten food?
And he's like, of course they do.
You know, they need to be punished.
And I was like, okay, so the innocent people, oh, they're not innocent.
attacking Mr. Morales, who did show up at the 9-11 Neocon Agenda Symposium with a guy that made a bunch of big movies, the guy that made Enemy of the State and the rest of it.
I kind of babble on this new extra hour show because I'm running everything in here and I'm busy trying to see if I've even got the audio to this feed.
Here's O'Reilly.
I don't hear him for some reason.
I've got computer up.
Ah, who knows anymore these days.
Do what?
I don't understand.
I can't hear you.
I've got guys in the other control room telling me things.
Uh, they're saying unmute laptop.
I have unmuted laptop here.
So you can come in and run it if you want.
Again, this is all the beta test here.
This show is already gigantic, but we're just doing everything live here on the fly.
On a pinhead front, what is going on in Hollywood?
unidentified
The former captain of NYPD Blue, Ese Morales, said this.
And if you look at YouTube, there's a thing called America Drug War.
And it shows how our presidents, from Reagan to Bush, and I don't know who else, took up bags of crack cocaine and introduced it to the world as a scourge.
It wasn't as big a problem until the president brings it up, and it seems like they're promoting the very thing they're saying they're against.
I mean, on that show, when Willie Nelson talked about bombs in the buildings and all the rest of it, he just said, pinhead.
They don't have to refute any information, they don't have to have arguments, nothing intellectual.
It's like when former Governor Jesse Ventura, he broke it of course here last week, but last night was on Hannity & Combs, Hannity just said, Rosie O'Donnell.
He just kept repeating that word.
Like saying, oh look, people don't like her, some people don't, so it's a liberal issue.
I mean, it's amazing.
But the good news, Kevin, sometimes I get negative and pessimistic, but you're a little more positive, which I think is probably accurate.
People are starting to get it now, but what they're getting is how crazy things are.
We have drug dealing, criminal government, running everything that stages terror attacks.
I just think that if people We can start waking up.
I mean, first of all, I think we as a people, we can't simultaneously plan for our demise and for our future.
And I think if we're going to save this country, we've got to just plan for our future and let God take it from there, you know?
Because these guys are winning if everybody is like all freaked out and running around.
I mean, we've got to, like, we're right.
You know, we've got to hold our heads high and, you know, I mean, Having Bill O'Reilly say that and call it pinhead, I mean, that's like, I mean, in my household, that was like a total high-five moment.
That was like a total victory laugh.
I mean, it doesn't get any better than that.
That's like pop the champagne.
So, you know, and I think, I think, you know, more and more people are waking up.
I mean, I think, you know, even from just a year ago, it seems like a lot has really changed, even in just this last year, the landscape of everything.
And I think even the timing with the release of the drug war film was good.
Well, corrupt elites do this all the time, and you're right.
All throughout history, it's like Marie Antoinette and the Let Them Eat Cake, as they're starving to death outside.
And I know historically that's not a completely accurate, but that's the popularized story, and there are real examples of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
It's just, they're dealing the drugs, they're shipping them in, they're CPSing people's kids, they're totally corrupt, and they just went further and further, and finally they blew the towers up, and I believe that's why the drug war stuff's coming out now, and that's why people are just saying, look, this is too much now, we can't go along with this, this is too insane, and people now know it's about their survival.
I mean, when it starts coming out in the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Houston Chronicle, and the Associated Press, with former congressmen giving out documents about how FEMA camps have been built for us, people are finally going, hell, I better speak out, man, these people aren't playing around!
Then they find out Bush's grandfather is a Nazi, as we put in martial law, Kevin and I. I mean, they're really figuring it out.
Yeah, no, and tying it into modern day with what's going on in Afghanistan, you know, and that's like another thing I've tried to tie together with
With the lessons learned from Iran-Contra, and it's a little depressing when I go from, you know, the universities I talk to the kids, you know, God, you know, so many of them really are just in this world of Facebook and products and, you know, what color iPod am I going to get this week and video games, and it is a little bit depressing, but there are some kids out there that are trying to make a difference, and so I think it's
One of the points I tried to make in this film was to show, like, what happened during the Iran-Contra scandal, bring Ricky Ross, Celica Stilley, some of the people that are actually there in person, and then bring it around full loop to what's going on in Afghanistan since we invaded, and also tying the loop, too, that we're supposedly poised to go to war against Iran, but, you know, who did Iran get their first missile technology from?
No, they always create, you're right, the next crises, then they have to clean up.
They give us cancer so they can then suck all of our money out of us as they give us false treatments.
I mean, it's all diabolical.
The Rockefellers in the 20's found out about how cancer was communicable, almost all of it, viral, and they put viruses into the vaccine supply.
These people are out of control.
And I'm just sick of them, and the public's going to find out just how evil they are.
I want to open the phones up, Kevin, at 512-646-5400.
512-646-5400.
Either on the American Drug War, the police state, or if you're in San Francisco, as I know some of our listeners are, where the communist death troops, that's what they are, they are the secret police, Death Squad is the word I'm looking for.
And they are there in England and in Paris and other places.
Now they're here everywhere they go.
They just grab any Tibetan signs, beat people up, and the police are ordered to attack anyone they order them to attack.
I mean, you know, I believe it's happening just by watching You know, what's been going on, and obviously the final push, you know, there's no telling what the final push is going to be in the final days of this Bush administration.
And, you know, it's scary and exciting to wonder what kind of transition we're all getting ready to have from that.
But, you know, it's like you've been saying for a long time with the foreign troops and using the Olympics To do that is just so classic.
You know, it's just, it's just once again, it's like a bad, it's like a bad script writer.
Like just, down in 9-11, everything like that.
It's like, if you took like the worst Hollywood script writer, it's as if like this whole thing is being written by a total hack.
Cause it's just like, it's so obvious.
You could just go, okay, now they're going to do this.
And it's just, you know, and then they do.
unidentified
Um, you know, I don't, I don't know what else to say.
Well, it isn't in plain view, but they do that scientifically, not just aiming at the lowest common denominator, but to dumb down the debate, really making us all dumber.
I mean, if you grow up around real debate and dynamic discussions and everything, it increases your intelligence, your critical thinking.
But even if you're born genetically smart, and then nature, you know, smart, you get good nutrition, taken care of, learned, still being around a bunch of morons dumbs you down.
Yeah, and once again, just like that movie Idiocracy, you know, which I feel... Anybody who can say a straight line or sentence, they call a fag.
Yeah, no, I mean, it's exactly... I mean, that movie hit it on the head and it's just so weird how that movie just kind of came and went without, you know.
Well, you've got a guy like Mike Judge, who by the way is a fan of the show, and he won't come on for some reason, he's too scared to, but that's okay, lives here in Austin and out in LA with you, Kevin, and he has had all these big hit movies, Creator of Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, and they just said, we've got a control contract, we're not even putting it in theaters.
And I heard they didn't even make a trailer for it, you know?
And yeah, you could watch it and it's really stupid, but there's like a really, I mean, it's a really good sobering lesson that that movie shows in a comical way.
They say, oh, we've got 18% of the kids on psychotropics, this was three years ago, and their own memos came out, and they said, we're going to force half the kids on this in the next phase.
Half the kids on Prozac and other drugs, by riding the criteria with school psychologists that enforce it on you.
Half the kids on the drugs, and then it causes more mass shootings, and there's more drugs.
Kevin will go to the restaurant and say, I want the fishiest thing you've got.
Squid intestines with whale genitals.
Hey, I would like to agree with your guest.
I was actually going to call and mention a couple things that he just brought up already.
unidentified
let's talk to brandon in new york go ahead brandon uh hey uh i would like to uh agree with your guest like uh i was actually going to call and mention a couple things that he just brought up already uh one was i was actually looking in the post and in the opinion page they had a whole article covering about how all all these drugs they're getting in are counterfeit and have additives that have been hurting people as of lately
Yeah, I mean, you gotta stay... Right now in Hollywood, there's like, maybe if you're gonna come out with some hardcore stuff like this, it's kinda like you have to navigate your way to kinda stay off certain radar screens.
unidentified
Yeah, I can understand that.
I'd have to agree.
It's funny, I just took my younger brother to his neurologist and he's been on...
Ritalin or Adderall, whatever the ADD drug is, for a couple years.
And at first, I can understand.
He had a very hard time concentrating and getting done with his homework.
Well, yeah, I mean, basically what you need to do is like what I would do with kids, too, is that you need to just give them enough exercise to where they just can't, you know, exactly, you know.
They're watching television all day, picking their noses, eating Hot Pockets, and drinking Capri Sun, or drinking Coca-Cola, and so then they're all weird and fidgety.
If they were running around climbing trees for eight hours a day like I did, there wouldn't be any acting up, because they're not in the house!
The problem is that, you know, the second that law enforcement and prisons became profitable, the second that, you know, like the whole health industry became just this total profit driven monster.
And I believe they probably all started out using the OxyContin and then moved on to the Yeah, let me comment, let me comment on that, since you bring that up, and I appreciate your call.
Well, that's what happens is you go to the doctor for a hurt back and they give you something that's synthetic heroin.
And then Rush Limbaugh, I remember hearing him hundreds of times back when they would point out that, crack, a black guy would get 25 years, but then a lawyer caught with three 8-balls wouldn't get a month.
And Limbaugh would defend that, and then when he was caught, With a hundred plus pills a day, I mean we're talking a decade in prison, doctor shopping, he doesn't get in trouble and he's still for the drug war!
Tommy was arrested, not for marijuana charges, but he was arrested because his son was using his face and his name to sell these expensive handmade glass pipes on the internet.
They were making some serious money.
The DEA actually placed an employee inside of their company to do the phone sales.
And the DEA then would set up these phony head shops.
And they set up a phony head shop in Pennsylvania, in a county where it's illegal to ship paraphernalia into.
And they created a phony buy.
Um, then which made it so the Chong's had committed a felony.
So they had the person on the phone to make sure that the other people in the family with the Chong's or the company didn't do the right thing and not sell to the county, to the city.
I mean, again... Yeah, because the Chong's all knew that they weren't supposed to sell to that county and they'd even told their employees that they weren't supposed to do it, yet it happened anyway.
I mean I saw this about four years ago in the In the Seattle papers, it was in several of them, and the major papers, the Seattle Times and others reported that in the nice area of Seattle, the majority of the bars are now owned by police.
And they said the police go in the bathroom and they sell drugs to each other.
It's not even an informant in the bathroom selling to somebody.
They sell to each other and then they take it and then they don't even bother now to give the bar to another cop.
They then own it.
I mean, it's just, well it's like Dallas where they pull over random cars and throw bags of chalk in the back and take their car and home.
I mean, it is... What sucks is that, you know, your average cop doesn't make that much money, your average guy in the military doesn't make that much money, so it's real easy for them to be controlled by these kind of things.
And at the same time, it's hard for guys like us to be in a position to make films and do all that, because it takes money.
And the government has also done a good job at convincing most people that if you're going to spend your life protesting, and if you're going to be an activist, then you're probably going to be broke and live some terrible, horrible little lifestyle.
And so the whole system just lends itself To, you know what, if you want to have a nice car, a nice boat, a nice house, all those things, well, you know, you're going to have to, like, screw over your fellow man.
You know, real quick, back to the OxyContin thing, you know, I had gone through many years of back problems, and I had a doctor that Actually, he finally gave me this, uh, like an epidural in my lower back and fixed my problem.
And when I told my doctor, I was like, wow, my back is better, but you know what?
I need some help getting off of these pain pills.
He just kept writing me the prescriptions.
Even though I was like going, I need help.
You know, he was like, ah, you need to just keep taking the OxyContin.
Here's another script.
And at that point I was like, wow, this is really happening.
Well, I mean, that's classic drug dealer right there.
That's what it is.
The government are drug dealers.
The higher up cops are drug dealers.
But that's compartmentalized.
Let's take a few more calls.
Let's go ahead and talk to Harvey in Florida.
You're on the air with the Maker of American Drug War, available right now on DVD, and it's the only place you get the three-plus hours of extras on the DVD, so that's five hours.
It's just amazing.
Let's say you already know all about this, folks.
Your friends, your family, your neighbors, even a lot of cops don't know.
It's interesting, Kevin, and we will go to Harvey in a second.
I just thought of this, and I'll forget.
That's what always happens.
That's why I always interrupt, folks, because then if I shut up, I then forget, and we never get to it.
In fact, I think I just did it right then.
I was going to bring up the point, what were we talking about just now?
Well, it was a guy replacing Paul Harvey, sometimes he has stand-ins, and he just said it very nonchalantly, oh yeah, and it'll be international troops protecting the torch.
I think if you go to ABC7 from San Francisco, and I don't want to pull people away from your broadcast, but later on, I think they're showing actual live streaming footage of the protest.
People get into the drug culture because whatever the government makes illegal becomes Very cool, very avant-garde, very cutting-edge.
There's money associated with it, and so it's forbidden.
And they understand psychology, and I know a lot of people like marijuana and you enjoy it.
It's just better not doing it.
It's just better not doing any of it.
You beat these people by being healthy, by being in shape, by living well.
And of course, they're going to make everything else illegal, too.
That's what tyranny does, to catch good people on their net.
But just live better than them, know their scum, educate everybody how they're terrorists and how they're the enemy, and just know that our people are everywhere, our numbers are growing, and that we are... I mean, when we take this country back, I want them to have due process, I want them to have trials, I want to have public trials, and we're going to turn loose all these innocent people out of prison, and all these people that were non-violent, and all these people that dealt drugs and stole people's children, I'm gonna call for the death penalty.
I mean, I think, you know, back to the drug war and the whole possession thing, and, you know, who should go to jail, you know, committing a crime is what should send you to jail, and possessing drugs isn't a crime.
Yeah, I mean, they just go like, it's so ridiculous on world news, they'll be like, well, you know, 80% of all Americans want to legalize, but nope, you know, Superior Court, not yet.
Eighty percent don't want to be in Iraq, but so what?
Ninety percent don't want the borders open, but no.
Eighty-four percent want a new investigation and say 9-11 was an inside job.
Oh, we don't care what you want.
Anything else, sir?
unidentified
Yes, Alex.
I don't know if you saw those hearings yesterday with Atreus, and this is something I don't often get to get through on the line, so it's very important that you know this.
There was one senator that had a speech all prepared, and he was talking about how he was there recently over in Iraq, one of the senators, and he went around the prison system over there.
And he went around and the General showed him around and it's really doing wonderful over there, Alex.
The people in detention are having very good food, they're getting training, they're getting job training, and a lot of them, according to this senator, this wasn't set up or anything, a lot of the people over there are having such a good time when they want to release them, they don't want to leave, they want to stay and do their studies.
It's like 1984 where they're going, we made 45 million pairs of shoes, choco rations are up, there's more tobacco, there's more housing, and meanwhile Winston's going, this is absolute crap.
I haven't gotten any cigarettes in months.
unidentified
Yeah, they're having such a good time, they don't want to leave when their time is up, Alex.
And I think, I think one of the things, if we have to focus on this thing incrementally, needs to start with marijuana and needs to start with medical marijuana.
And then we need to start by Releasing, or definitely start by releasing any non-violent marijuana person who's serving time.
Yeah, absolutely, when you portray the public trust.
You know, because that's the whole point of my film is, you know, and I open with the opening line of the film is that, you know, now some of the people that I've elected to protect me are the ones that I fear the most.
And I think that's how a lot of people feel these days.
unidentified
Well, maybe Ron Paul, Alex, will make you the drug czar when he gets in.
Look, I grew up in Rockwall, where I would be at people's houses, and I wasn't into drugs, but this was the eighties, everybody was into it, and the local cop would pull in and bring in cocaine and marijuana, I mean duffel bags of it, and then I'd go to school five years, I mean this was when I was like eleven, twelve, playing baseball in the neighborhood, I've told the story before, and then I would go with my friend who was a couple years old, and he'd have like an eighteen-year-old brother, and I'd be over there watching TV, And by the time I was like 12, I'd be doing beer bongs.
There was plenty of alcohol involved in that too.
My parents had no idea I was down the street beer bonging, sucking down whole beers out of funnels.
And then the cops would show up with the cocaine and marijuana, and then the older brother would go off and sell it to the bimbo wives of the rich golfers.
I grew up in a nice neighborhood where our four bedroom house was the small house.
Uh, and, you know, there were 20 bedroom houses and stuff, so I was in and around all of it, and the cops just delivered the drugs.
It was all part of... And then, a few years later, I was in school, and they had drug dogs and pledges not to use drugs, and they were showing us the drugs, which I knew was really an advertisement.
And then, cops... I remember walking up to the cops going, hey man, I've seen you deal drugs.
And then they said, we're gonna kill you.
See, I didn't understand.
I was like... See, that's how I woke up.
I'm like, you're a drug dealer.
What are you doing here?
You know, I saw you three years ago deliver cocaine.
unidentified
Yeah, they photographed my school parking lot and meanwhile I see them meeting up with Lamborghinis at three o'clock in the morning because I drive a cab.
So it's like, what's really going on if you guys have to have secret meetings with Lamborghinis?
Eric in Pennsylvania, and then Bill and Joel, and that's it, because we're going to have to end this transmission.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yo, I love the extra, you should do two, three hours extra, Dad.
First time caller, big fan.
I have a list of statements.
I was talking the other day to a high school kid about how the government flies in drugs, and he goes, Oh, I saw that movie Drug War and then they spent like 45 minutes on it talking about it.
I also got a prescription for Marinol from my doctor.
So I don't fail my drug test and lose my job.
I also want to say that THC is a psychoactive substance.
The admitted on the insert for Ritalin and the scores of other names it goes under the same molecule, is heart palpitations, heart expansion, retardation of growth, brain shrinkage in size, brain lesions.
I can keep going.
Sorry.
unidentified
That's okay.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Oh, my cousin died when he was 18 because he was going to the National Guard.
He didn't want to fail his drug test, so instead of smoking weed, he was huffing some kind of thing, and he died from that.
Patrick's Day, I was, I was set up by the police and Homeland Security and charged with aggravated assault.
Half Innocent00:00:53
unidentified
They gave me DUI because they said I refused my blood test.
And then when I went to take it to trial, they basically threatened my lawyer, forced me to take a plea deal, and I had to serve three months in jail for something I didn't even do.
Everybody who calls in with this, or a lot of people I hear on other shows, they go, the government's dumb, I'm innocent, or the government's just screwing up, or, you know, I can't believe I was innocent.
We know you're innocent!
The DNA testing's shown that close to half the people on death row are innocent.
Well, Kevin, all I can tell you is, you know this, I know you're clean as a whistle, I would have one fake security system they're going to find, and another hidden one, and having that hidden security system on a DVR, even on its own backup battery, if power goes off, because they're smarter to flip the power off, having that backup DVR may save you.
How did so many evil people get in control, and how are there so many dumb schmucks who are just mindlessly thinking the government's good and they love them?
But, you know, I mean, it's just revolutions come in cycles and wars are always, you know, weird, complicated things that you can't figure out.
I mean, you know, I'm sure someday when they write the history books on how all this goes down, you know, people will be going, oh, it was so obvious what they were doing.
Yeah, let's go ahead and take a call from Bill and Denver.
You're right, Kevin.
I just say focus on this so much, I'm just so sick of them.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Bill.
unidentified
Hey, yeah, Alex and Kevin, it's a pleasure to talk to you.
And Alex, I'd like to thank you very much for being the catalyst, opening my eyes and having me look at things a little bit more closely.
And Kevin, I have to apologize to you.
I have not seen your film yet, and I'm going to remind you that today, And I'm a truck driver, so hopefully it'll be waiting for me when I do my home time.
But to the guy that used to chew Trident gum, I mean, you know, what is a Trident?
It's a pitchfork, and who usually carries one of those?
I'd like to say two quick things, and then I'll let you go and listen to you off air.
You are off the phone here, but one thing, I'd love to know what Bill Hicks, I'm a huge Bill Hicks fan, I came kind of late to the party of that, but I'd like to know, I'd love to know what his thoughts on 9-11 would be, and what some of the things he would have to say.
Gun Show Controversy00:08:10
unidentified
And also, this is kind of off-topic, more to the 9-11 thing.
Uh, when we were talking to Daniel Sanjata today, I had to disagree with something that he said.
He said that it was kind of easy for him to come out because he didn't have a whole lot to lose because he doesn't have millions of dollars and this sort of thing.
I think it's just the opposite.
I think he has so much more to lose because he's not... I agree and I appreciate your call.
That for somebody who's already big and established, they have less to lose than somebody who's not struggling but just now hitting the big time.
They can swat him down a lot easier.
Joel in Los Angeles, last caller for our guest.
unidentified
Yeah, hi guys.
Kevin, I just want to say I saw American Drug War at the Egyptian here in L.A.
and thanks for the tix.
It was a really good movie.
I wanted to throw out a dot for people to maybe connect to, and it's about the drug COT that they grow in Somalia, and I guess in Yemen.
Back in 93, 94, I was a rave promoter and a DJ, and I was approached, along with a bunch of other people, to sell this drug called Nexus, which was made from cot.
Yeah, I've seen that.
Yeah, and it was, they had, like, pamphlets they were giving out to us and, you know, all kinds of crazy stuff.
And it's just, I've been noticing more activity in Somalia and...
And in my film, I take you down to Skid Row, where I go down there one day, and you're literally standing on the street, and I look down, and there's literally thousands of little heroin balloons, like, just as far as, like, Confetti after Mardi Gras.
I mean, just, like, thousands of heroin balloons, and they clean the streets every couple days with those big street cleaners.
And that was like some of the footage that the LAPD told me, well you can't show that because it's not like that anymore.
You know, maybe I can get you back on tomorrow when Sully's on.
I need to check what time Sully Stillo's on the show tomorrow.
I found out a few weeks ago he'd been arrested and played phone tag with him, but we finally got him today and arrested for some trumped-up gun charge when he was a former cop DEA.
And then they said, hey, saw you on TV, liked the show, and they were arresting him.
In closing, we're about to rejoin the show as I was ranting and raving about the Chinese troops here in about a minute and a half.
