Mr Kennedy is EPIC, he is such a great man! May God bless him. Amen.
protect this brave man, DJT and him, great ticket, no whimps.
Shame on Kennedy. That is progressive garbage. No real conservative would support that. What's next alcohol dealers, GUN DEALERS?!?!?!?! The person that takes any product is responsible for their own safety and those around them regarding that product. It's called individual freedom and PERSONAL responsibility. You know the American way?!?! All drugs and prostitution should be legal. Know who agrees with me? THE FOUNDING FATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be so easily deceived...
Uhhh trying to give people 10 years of prison for LSD is criminal.
He'd make a great President.
Lock them up. Along with Booker , they love criminals running free
Lock them up along with Booker, yes.
Take out these traitors.
Booker is a DISGRACE LIKE JOE
You see the way Booker ran North Jersey !He filled his pockets did nothing to stop the crime now he's in the senate !What the F kind of country is this ? F a city up then leave get rich do nothing and go higher up !
Corey Booker is drug dealer so he’s not passing the law
Sick and tired of these freaking Congressional representatives calling each other friends" and patting each other on the back" and then disagreeing" and getting "nothing done" can we stop the "bulshit" and get something done?
@@rickeye2345
NOPE..
because if we did, that'd mean that we all got off of our fat, lazy, meek, scared, complacent a$$es and got TOGETHER and actually did something.
Besides... If we collectively made the correct move and eliminated these lower than whalesh*t Shilliticians and got rid of the blood sucking Alphabet Agencies, The Powers That Be wouldn't be able to milk our Tax Cattle a$$es for any more imaginary "money"...
And then OH MY GOD, where ever would we be then?
See? Sleepers have a lousy way of thinking... If you could call it that.
Cheers -
Stay VIGILANT 👍
The term "friend" used in addressing those across the aisle, are most often said dripping in sarcasm.

We have dificult times and we need extreme desicions to SAVE USA.
By the way im an inmigrant but i came to this country legal never ask for money from the goverment and always pay my taxes.
Kennedy will always make me smile.
He is just another Trump Licker!
You mean laugh. 😂
Thank you Senator Kennedy for your love of people and country.
Jokingly, call Mr. Kennedy Foghorn Leghorn! He fights, or postures all day long. Action, is what is needed. Now, not later. Action, Action, Action!!! It may be to late.... God Bless The USA!
About time it was spelled out. Fentanyl is like cyanide. Think this way and there is a paradigm shift in it's awareness.
@@debbiemezey7831 Nobody is talking about doctors that hook patients on that drug. Mr Kennedy is wasting his breath, he just wants votes.
Gtfoh. He cares no more than anyone else in that room. Their children aren’t dying of fentanyl overdoses. He just wants to be the guy that can campaign on how tough a stance he takes on drugs by more mass incarceration. You want to be groundbreaking propose a bill to decriminalize and federally regulate the sale of recreational drugs. The evidence exists if it was possible to arrest away a drug market the USA would have achieved that 25 years ago. Instead it’s only gotten worse because of the enormity of the illegal market. The massive amounts of competition in Mexico have caused the market prices to plummet. Which pushes traffickers to produce synthetic drugs like meth and fentanyl to sell. That now has gotten so extreme that nearly every drug coming from Mexico no matter how it is marketed or packaged is only fentanyl or at bare minimum is tainted with fentanyl. The deaths are due to the laws not the poor people who step up to keep the supply chain moving. Americans want to use recreational drugs. As soon as we stop not saying that out loud we’ll be headed in the right direction.
That’s exactly what Sen Kennedy is trying to do! Get a bill passed.
Action.
Thank you, Senetor Kennedy for caring for the lives of others. ❤
Strict punishment for all crimes is a deterant.
1st time, 10 yrs minimum
2nd time, wins a seat on Old Sparky..
If there is a demand, people do it…. You obviously oblivious to people who ..as you call it..”in the hood”. They know what the punishment is but they still do it…why? Because they feel like they have no choice….for MOST of these dealers.
If there is a demand SOMEONE will be there to fill it.
Why not punish the big pharma companies at it as well. They make record profits , they are the death dealers
America refuses to recognize and attempt to solve its societal crisis. Is America getting what it deserves?
@@mikeh8416 I'd say with Fentanyl .. first time should be a seat on old sparky.
Democrats would execute the unvaccinated
Thank you Senator, for fighting the good fight and never giving up! ❤❤
he had a son I’m guessing was a user because he said that he told him not to use drugs because you get hooked and if that is the case stop blaming CLEAN up get with the right and that remark sounds racism
@@Carlottaog-zl7dj listen again.
Incarcerating the suppliers of the drugs should not be a problem. But Booker thinks that it is. The users depend on the suppliers.
Booker gets his cut from the cartels 😂
lefty nazi marxist LOVE CRIMINALS OUT AT PEOPLE, never mind their victims=Blame the victim. the R donkey butts.
@@Geezerelli sure makes one wonder. Hmmmm?
Incarcerating the fentanyl dealers for 5 or 10 years will not solve anything. The death penalty would be a great permanent deterrent and much less expensive than incarceration.
@@billmcghee7680 too many politicians looking the other way while making millions.
Is Senator Booker referring to the same DOJ that gave a protester 10 years for breaking a window on Jan 6th instead of restitution and community service. How dumb to they think we are? I am definitely with Senator Kennedy on this one.
Well Senator Booker actually yes. If penalties were so severe it made dealing or doing drugs not worth the consequence you would immediately see a decrease in it. Examples China, Japan, all the middle eastern countries.
Where most of them get to do their impression of a TIRE SWING in public.
Those countries punish drug dealers with death
Well said Booker and his like are out of touch, arrogant and dangerous. He is a disingenuous duplicitous fool.
I live in Japan. If you use or deal your butt goes to prison for a long, long time. Guess what; not many people use drugs in this country.
Bookers on the take !
WTF? I don't want to pay that dealers room & board for a day. I want a mandatory minimum sentence of death, carried out within 60 days, with no appeal. Is that unreasonable for this problem?
Nope I agree with you wish more would people who has no care about any other person that is a evil person some don't deserve to exist because humanity is better off with them gone.
You are a Kom - E!!

Thank you Mr.Kennedy for bringing all of this to my attention,it is sickening that this admin.is aware of this and allowing this to continue in our country,it's disgusting and may they rot in hell.
No surprise Booker blocked it!
Why would any SANE person block a bill
That enhances a drug dealers punishment.
They’re his voters, the families of them. If he agrees to lock up their family members who deal in fentanyl, he loses their votes. It’s all self preservation. It’s not about what is best for your society.
A traitor
I think you've answered your own question.
Someone is on the take.
Evil soulless leftist who DOESN'T CARE how many Americans DIE...booker and whoever else VOTED to block this bill.
I really respect Sen Kennedy.
Me too. Sadly, I cannot say the same for Senator Booker.
@@tearl5676 right
THE DRUG DEALS PAY BOOKER AND THE DEMOCRATS AND BIDEN GET MONEY BY THR WHEEL BARREL LOAD.
Racist to the core
@Dan Gander Users are losers. I once abused reality too
FOLLOW THE MONEY... You will see why this criminal blocked it.
Bingo!
I just lost my son on Sunday. We’re still waiting to learn what the substance was, but whatever it was that was given to him, wasn’t what he thought it was. This hurts so bad and something definitely needs to be done about it. It’s killing too many good people and children. This is horrible. I want whoever gave him this stuff, prosecuted for murder. My son didn’t overdose, someone murdered him by poison.
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss! My friend’s nephew died the same way.
The difference that many opposers of this bill don’t understand is that people are taking it unknowingly! This has nothing to do with users/addicts. It is secretly poisoning people!
I’d be writing Booker’s office! He seems to be conflating 2 diff issues. People are not choosing to use this drug.
@@AL-PAKA WTF dude. The woman lost her son, show a little sensitivity.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss rip🙏
Sorry to hear this. Hope you’re doing ok
Senator Kennedy is not just a national treasure but also perhaps the nation’s conscience.
You're a gullible fool. The criminal justice system is one of the greatest threats to our society. God did not give anyone the right to inflict pain on anyone, and those who support doing so are immoral
"nation's conscience" Great description of Sen Kennedy.
Senator Cornpone/cracker/ confederate.
he passed a bill to defund police and border guard yup defunding police mr kennedy
@johnhauptli6536 no he didn't.
Yes Booker, the death penalty would work!
No it wouldnt. Thats draconian and would likely be abused to kill innocent people or those who didnt even intend to distribute. Why are Republicans so bloodthirsty?
Absolutely going to have to be in the hands of the people and not government, see what the government does
Life in prison works better
Senator Kennedy!👍 👍
Our society is headed toward to allowing everything, with no punishment!!!
We can thank the Democrats for that.
Survival of the fittest. lmao
only law abiding citizens, will get in trouble with the Law..
Booker must get a cut. It’s the only way a human can let this happen
I'm sure he learned from the Clinton's from when they were importing cocaine into Mena, AR.
Apparently so!
I think he is just subhuman either way.
Who’s paying Booker? How could he even object to something so important.
There should have been no objection at all. He’s fucking pure stupid. More severe sentences mean fentanyl dealers never come back from lock up. He’s more concerned with adding to the prison population.
Big Pharma.. The Drug manufacturers
Soros most likely.
Maybe he’s part of that problem?
Maybe a drug dealer
This pleases me that someone is trying to something about this epidemic. It has stolen my family and friends. It it pure evil. It is wonderful that you have stepped up. Thank you!
It should sicken you that democrats are blocking it.
I think everyone is failing to realize our country is under attack
This dude is my hero. Always tells it like it is without any sugar coating.
😉👍Thumbs up to Sen. Kennedy for standing strong and firm and battling for the truth and rights and justice for all Americans across our Nation indeed!.
Your pretty lost if actually beleive putting drug users n jail longer will stop addiction.. that's the prob with the drug prob n America now is the lack of knowledge
Which amendment authorizes prohibition?
WHAT ABOUT BIG PHARMA DEATHS 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
You bought that bs
And thumbs down to Cory Booker and his scumbag Democrat Colleagues for voting the bill down . These people are killing our kids .
Senator Kennedy is our modern version of Cicero. So passionate, so intelligent, so full of common sense. God Bless him.
Um what?
@@gypsy3171 🤣👊
I hope this is scarcasm, 70 000 dead is not one every 7 seconds. It is every 7 minutes. I hope most of his statements aren't of by a factor of 60. Because such misinformation could derail policy and thus a country.
More like Don Quixote
He's a dumbass you start with low-level dealers when you have pharmacies couldn't got to the streets if a pharmacies didn't let them get it then this government still lets them sell fentanyl in pharmacies so he's admitting to his own deal right now
Agree Senator Kennedy. 🇺🇸
We need to end the war on drugs. This policy is stupid. We have tried this over and over and over and over and it does not work. We need to legalize, regulate, and provide rehabilitation services. Senator Kennedy may have good intentions, but hes wrong about how to solve this problem.
Agree with what? If there’s a market, someone’s gonna profit. The dealers aren’t the problem. They’re hustling for their own reason. The addicts need help. That cuts the demand, stops the supply. Basic economics.
@@DavidJohnson-hg1mz I think I misunderstood your comment so I deleted my reply. I think we agree that this bill would do the opposite of whats intended.
No Consequences for one's action, then there will be no fear. Weak Judges and Parole boards recycle the criminals that should stay incarcerated, harsher sentences need to be invoked.
Thank you SENAOR KENNEDY.
I’m English, so I have no horse in this race, but I absolutely love Senator Kennedy. He’s just awesome. You are very lucky to have him.
Everyone has a horse in this race! No one is immune to evil. Pretty simple
About senator Kennedy, you are absolutely correct! About the race, your horse is definitely in it. If we fall, you fall. Plain and simple. Think two world wars, think sprechen sie Deutsch. Perhaps we too easily forget the past.
being english does not tie yer horse to the hitchin post tho maam ..... fentynal is a world wide issue and has likely killed folks wherever youre from....a dealer busted here may be the same dealer delivering to your hometown as well..... jus sayin it ok to have an opinion and speak up the more input and ideas we can gather the better chance we have of eliminating this .... prayers never hurt either imo but nobody thinks that way these days it seems have a great day maam from Arkansas USA
You need a PM like him. We need a President like him.
I've physically seen people die because of fentanyl. Senator Kennedy, i would add language into that bill that would hold prosecutors and governors liable for not enforcing this law, and for releasing those people back into society.
ASAP!
Yes!

Senator Booker is a total embarrassment he doesn’t understand the proposed bill it’s deals with the “dealers” NOT the Addicts
Nixon said the same thing about the war on drugs executive order. But, it is not what happened. 4% months f the drug arrests are dealers. The addicts are over 60%.
We shouldn't punish addicts either. We need to end the war on drugs. We continue to push policies that only make the problem worse. All we are doing is incentivizing a black market. Legalize, regulate, rehabilitate.
It's never a problem until it hits their communities.
He understands it just fine. When will people realize that this is all intentional!!!
This the result when unprincipled and ignorant people are elected to Congress. Booker is a disgrace and embarrassment.
No law abiding citizen would dispute this bill who is booker speaking for and who on earth elected him! Come on pass stronger laws on drugs!!!!
drugs use to not be illegal and not a problem but the CIA and tobacco and alcohol industry spends to much to keep it illegal instead of legalizing and regulating it , How many years has cannabis been on the prohibition list , alcohol and tobacco are way more dangerous, but i do agree that heroin and fentinal should be controlled but the CIA is responsible for the drug problems they have always facilitated the drug use in this country, if it was not illegal it might not not be such a problem you will never eradicate the drugs it time to wake up
look at him, we know who he is speaking for.
Booker wants a sure and solid supply chain. I have hated this man since day 1.
Biden will probably veto this bill. He or whoever is controlling Biden wants people to die. The elites have a real evil plan.
No law abiding citizen? You are very wrong. Go look up some Mexican cartel execution videos. That is what happens when drugs are illegal. I'd very much prefer the fentanyl deaths to the violent ones. Let people put into their bodies whatever they damn well please, let's just not waste our medical resources on trying to resuscitate them when it's a self-inflicted problem. Down with the controlled substances act.
God, I really love people like this man. He actually cares! And like he said this is killing us off, it’s killing our kids off, our future!
Thank You Senator Kennedy for everything you do.!!! You are appreciated.!!!
If they really want to stop drugs start by coming down on federal agents bringing this drugs in and extra help on borders! Go after Dr’s prescribing very addictive drugs and when they cant prescribe (Dr’s) med. They turn to street drugs.
Of course Booker doesn’t care about no one but himself
Cut the shit. Booker obviously cares about people. I dont think Senator Kennedy has bad intentions here, but this wont solve the problem. Weve tried this with the war on drugs. Weve tried this extreme sentences for drug offenses. They dont work. We have proof. We have hard evidence over the last 60 years. We need to legalize drugs and regulate their production. This is more justice, moral, and provides a safe product that wont kill people. At the very least no lethal mixtures. And we provide rehab services for those that want to get better. This has proven positive effects in Portugal. We also can look at marijuana legalization, less teens are smoking it in legalized areas. We need to normalize, educate, empower kids to make good decisions and not ruin their lives, or execute them, if they make a mistake.
Scott Adams warned us about those Wiggins!
He most likely is making tons of money protecting drug dealers!!!

Take this very serious my son died from the drug fentanyl 😔❤ I want to thank Senator John Kennedy for taking his time and energy to help people in this country🥺😔❤
Soue Booker, punish this terrible evil man.
I wonder if Booker even has Kids, anyone know ?? because his kids aren't immune to this evil they can be victims same as any other kids!!!!
I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your son, I know saying this can NEVER make that overwhelming pain go away, I would,if I only could. I can only hope for your family, I hope you can find peace for yourselves. I really do wish I could tell you how. Take Care, from Johnny
I lost my Godson to it. I most definitely feel your pain.
Only wish Dr were allowed to monitor and control addictions or pain management. These laws have because so restricted that Drs are scared to prescribe and treat, cause many to search for other means, unknowingly containing fentanyl.
Thank you Mr. Kennedy you truly know what you speak of. God bless you for trying to get through to everyone else.
I am Irish, wish we had Senator Kennedy over here, he really cares about people. Please, please listen to him all of you in USA. He is a treasure!

Publically...televised. listing the peoples lives they took.....Watch the amount of dealers drop DRAMATICALLY...watch the supply dry up from the strong stance....
Booker is a fool for not passing this bill. Kennedy is talking about the dealer getting more jail time, the guy that sells the drug. Booker yaps on about the user geting treatment. If the user lives, certainly, treatment. But, Kennedy is talking about the dealer. How the heck did Booker not understand that?!
Booker is a slime bag. True criminal
🤔 hmmm... Living on another planet?
Booker, the oppressed son of IBM executives.
He fully understood this. He’s just a piece of shit and keeping this bill off the books keeps money going into his pocket.
(D)oes that question (D)eserve a (D)etailed (D)isclosure, or can you (D)etermine it from a few (D)escriminating (D)enotations?
I love Senator Kennedy. He is so right ....
as law enforcement if you agree why are the government so amped about putting it out?
No he's not. He just told you that dealers are cutting cocaine with fentanyl in order to make it more potent. Rather than it having been contaminated on purpose in order to kill people. He want's you to blame the guy at the bottom of the supply chain, when there's no telling when it was contaminated or by whom.
John Kennedy is wonderful! I am so glad he is a United States Senator.
I had a good friend of mine lose her only son to fentanyl in 2020 on Mother’s Day. My heart truly bleeds for her and every other Individual in America who has lost a loved one to this horrible drug. For someone to block a bill to hold these fentanyl dealers accountable is absolutely disgusting and speaks to how much Dems value life.
yes but why did repubs defund local and borderguard police? it was passed from the repubs in the house look that sht up
The dems value votes only they don’t care about anything else. Soros guidestones wants the world population down to 500,000,000 and they will do everything necessary to achieve it
My my brother I never forget July 12, 2020 when my son passed away from fentanyl I know this pain that you feel I got your back.😞❤️🙏☦️

I wish we had a hundred like you Senator. You may be the only one in a handful that actually care about this country
John Kennedy u got my vote, and u are doing a great job 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They keep doing it because there are no real consequences for these drug dealers. Maybe our country should look at other countries when people are caught. Like 20- 35 years.
Booker: "Doing nothing about this is bad, so I choose to do nothing anyway."
Booker, is a member of the swamp and it shows too.
Right
I think what Booker was saying is "Don't just focus on the surface issue, but instead think about what is causing the issue on the surface. Think about the root cause of this problem and don't just put a band-aid on a festering wound." And if that is what he was saying, I think there is truth in it. You have a problem, you need to solve that problem at the source, otherwise, it will be like putting a band-aid on a festering wound. The drug issue is a serious issue with no easy or quick solutions. But I agree with Sen Kennedy to punish the dealers, though that does seem like an attempt to solve the surface problems and not address the root cause of the issue. I think the root cause of the drug problems in America is that there are people in this country that are heavily addicted to drugs and people experiment with drugs and get addicted and become a part of that problem and cartels and dealers take advantage of those people. A stronger stance against drugs and healing and treatment centers for those addicted to drugs would be a step in the right direction. I think right now, lots of college students are taking caffeine pills or adderal to help them with studying and prepping for exams. That is a dangerous situation for them because they coiuld unkowingly be taking dangerous drugs and loose their lives to them. Another reason why it's important to address the root cause of the issue and while the whole issue may not go away, it can at least be minimized so less harm is done.
@Tman2217 Yes, he definitely made some good points. But, like Sen Kennedy said, this particular bill is about prosecuting those caught with a certain amount of fentanol, that regular addicts prob aren't carrying around. Dealers & drug traffickers are.
The gun argument, in a nut shell.
How could you block this bill unless you are corrupt?
Or just left wing political dupe!
They get paid millions by the cartels
@@mikehyland4825AKA corrupt right 😅🙌🏻
Woke crime and ideology is destroying this country. It's time to wake up. This is an attack on American citizens
Senator Mr. JOHN KENNEDY Thank You For Waking The American People Up, Sincerely RZ
How does it benefit booker to not pass his bill? Follow the money! It’s all about money.
I suspect that the reason Sen. Booker doesn't support this bill is related to the reason that Democrats are against tougher penalties for gun crimes.
They are playing to their base.
Don’t think so. It’s about destroying our country!
2 people told the truth, so their replies have been hidden.
He is Donna...most drug dealers dealing this shit dont care about jail. This doesnt actually do anything of value. Any drug dealer you remove from the street will be replaced by another. Youre not going to reduce the supply. Dealers will always find ways to circumvent the law. Stop trying to play whack a mole. End the war on drugs. Its a failed policy. Legalize drugs. Regulate them so there arent any toxic mixtures. You destroy the black market bringing drugs to this country and then we provide rehab and education to addicts.
Booker is right about this.
BINGO
God Bless you Mr. Kennedy!!
OMG! I had NO IDEA, it was that potent! Holy moly! Thank You ❤. I think the world of You Sen. Kennedy.... You’re smart, witty, funny and well spoken!❤ You’re a great asset to humanity! You are so down to Earth that everyone should be able to relate positively to you. Thank You 🙏🏻 ❤I really love and appreciate you a lot!🌹👽🌎😇🧬💕☀️🙏🏻
Thank you secretary Kennedy for announcing that to everybody that is watching you tonight God bless you and you're with the American people
Kennedy is so right. Don't know why Booker had to get up there and pontificate. He is not in the same league as Kennedy. Just went up there and looked stupid.
He always looks stupid
I am a survivor of the opiate epidemic, and a tier 1 recipient in the ongoing pharmaceutical bankruptcy case's. You would all do well to pay attention to what Senator Kennedy is saying about what is happening in our country. This is much worse than the opiate epidemic my generation faced.
You don't believe that the government has its hands in this B's? You do they have labs in this country that produce fentanyl. You noticed there is no heroin in the country. It went away with not one major drug bust nor one shot fired. The cartels would sell fentanyl and heroin they would not stop selling heroin and replace it with fentanyl as deadly as it is. That's not the way they work. They sell anything that makes money. This whole fentanyl situation stinks to high heaven.
Yeah opiates is nothing compared to the Fentanyl.
Glad you survived mate
You were a dope phone you just didn’t smoke crack no feels sorry for you and quite frankly you got off easy
Same dude, I'd be dead if I were still an addict
If drug dealers are selling death then there sentence should be death! They are killing people for money and no remorse! Sentence them to jail is an insult to the family! It should be an eye for an eye!
Madness !
R U serious, Sen. Cory Booker!
Y would U block Sen. Kennedy !
Sen Kennedy is fantastic. Having administered 100's of thousands of IV, spinal, & epidural doses of fentanyl and its analogs in my 40yr anesthesia career, I have to say that 2mg of fentanyl is well beyond a lethal dose for many people. Our typical IV dose would be 50-100 mcg's. Without advanced cardio-respiratory support, most people would stop breathing long before 2,000 micrograms----that's 2 mg. In a protracted spinal fusion case, we may use that much and more fentanyl over a period of 6 or 7 hours---but during that procedure, this patient will be intubated and on a vent. Long term narcotic addicts do develope incredible tolerences
and can survive megadoses. Sadly, far too many people are exposed to large doses long
before being able to survive these inadvertent megadoses.
SEAL THE DAMNED BORDER!
I hope you can send this information to Sen Kennedy.
@@glenvalley4326Playing Russian roulette with Fentanyl that you get on the street. One day you might handle 2mg of the street fent and the next day you get a purer product and your dead. Like you said lock down the damn border. Yet I also feel like their needs to be more options to addicts to help get their lives back in order. Medication Assisted Treatment MAT is the gold standard in opiate treatment but doctors can only prescribe Suboxone or Vivitrol. Methadone is the oldest and most successful medication in the treatment of opiate addiction yet can only be prescribed in a clinic setting, where the patient must go everyday to receive it. It should be more accessible like Suboxone. I'm curious as to your opinion on this matter if your familiar with the issue?
A good way to stop the drugs is have our government stop bringing drugs into our country !!!!
That is so true about the government they are the biggest drug dealers gun dealers organ Harvesters human trafficking all done by our government
Amen!
Exactly!
Shame on Kennedy. That is progressive garbage. No real conservative would support that. What's next alcohol dealers, GUN DEALERS?!?!?!?! The person that takes any product is responsible for their own safety and those around them regarding that product. It's called individual freedom and PERSONAL responsibility. You know the American way?!?! All drugs and prostitution should be legal. Know who agrees with me? THE FOUNDING FATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN they are a part of it. its like the fox guarding the hen house
Why under God’s green earth would Booker block a bill calling for harsher punishment for drug dealers?! It doesn’t make sense! Makes one think that Booker may be involved in some way. This tells me all I need to know about who Booker is.
Booker and Democrats will block bills for harsher penalties for convicted felons, but they will not hesitate to deprive lawful citizens of their rights to defend themselves against the very same criminals that are being caught and released from jail.
Because he knows that supporting the bill would inevitably result in more blacks with longer prison sentences and he don't want that. If fact he wants the opposite of that. Blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime, including drug crimes, in the US relative to their overall percentage of the population. That is the truth and if you dare point out that fact your labeled a racist. But pointing that fact out isn't labeling all blacks as criminals. Most blacks are good law abiding citizens just like the majority of the population is overall. People like Booker want to excuse the criminality based on racism. The ends justifies the means. They want fewer blacks in prison and they don't care what they have to do to achieve it. They want equal outcomes based on race, not equal outcomes based on an individuals choices.
🎯🎯🎯
Cuz they get money off of it too
The “socialist” wing wants to destroy our country and to support those activities thaatwill allow government control on society in order to “control” the entire population. If the cartels/ drug dealers are chastised the liberals loose the possibility of control on the masses. Cory Booker is part of the problem. If incarceration is the issue then incorporate the death penalty for any dealer who can be traced back to selling phenyl or any drug laced with it. That would end the dealer issue.
MR- KENNEDY- thanks for pointing out the sorry truths-We are happy too have you in our white house- GOD BLESS keep the great work- May God keep you strong.
Senator Kennedy I am praying for good politicians to prevail and succeed
he's not one of them, this is a pitch for private prisons.
@@justus7181 What is your beef with private prisons? Running prisons is just one of thousands of things that private industry does much better than government.
😂😂😂😂 good politicians are you trying to say Kennedy is a good politician?
@@justus7181 send them fent dealers on a island and make them fight for dinner and we get to bet on the winners
@@arlynsmith9196 no it doesn't, you can look up the cash for kids scandal.
This was lowlife red state people taking covid money and building prison so they can pocket off of it.
But when you it's your people that end up getting trapped into these things then you can figure out the writing on the wall.
Sadly we DID have those laws!we DID have extra punishment for drug dealers!
They were called "Mandatory Minimum Prison Sentencing Laws!"
Until, a certain kind of folks repealed those laws, citing that the Laws were "RACIST!"
Cory: what do you propose?
Killers like fentynal dealers deserve ultimate penalty.....
@@terywetherlow7970 To Cory, the answer depends on the race of the drug dealer!
Of the drug dealer is a member of that certain segment of the population, Cory will blame society and not the murderer drug dealer.
But, if the defendant is white, then they get the boom thrown at them!
In a nutshell, if the dog dealer is black, it's society's fault. If he's white, it's HIS fault!
Per Cory, of course!
Did that answer your question?
But they don't enforce the existing laws.....
@@garywemmer9342 Indeed! They called the laws "RACIST!"
How can a law be racist is beyond me!
Yeah DEMONCRATS
Love Senator Kennedy
Booker ? You mean Spartacus? He is a dramma queen.
Hold the man responsible for opening the border to be charged with murder too
Mr Kennedy is right. My husband and I raised 3 boys. That was one of my main worries. I thank God daily that they did not do drugs. As much as I stayed on top of them, it is only the Grace of God that they did not do drugs.
Death penalty for Fentanyl dealers, life sentence for other drug dealers with no parole, and yes more intensive treatment centers for those already addicted. should help I would think !
You would think, but as the senator pointed out, that's not what the data shows.
This is insane. You people are insane: people have been selling drugs since people were people. All drugs? People selling mushrooms and weed to huh? Both which are harmless to humans and if anything beneficial for crafts in diseases and mental health disorders. But hey life sentence without parole. I can get people who sell fentanyl, crack, and heroin and shit like that. Even then I think anything over 5 to 10 years for crack and heroin or meth is insane as well. Fentanyl is just on another level. It’s not even a drug at this point. It should not be looked at like a drug but more rather a biological weapon. Death sentence for fentanyl over 250 grams for sure
@@WaxPaper i wouldn't trust data collated by the democrats to catch fire when it was soaked in gasoline. it is despicable to conflate what is a very clear gap in comparative criminal sanction for a chemical that kills like no other, with wider failure of what was always more catchphrase than policy
Make MAT more available. Medication Assisted Treatment is the gold standard in treating opiate addiction. Few opiate addicts are successful in abstinence programs. MAT works.
MAT allows the addicts time to get their lives back in order and hopefully receive other therapies without the physical symptoms of withdrawal gnawing away at your will to abstain. Hopefully they then can begin to taper the medication until they are off of it as well. MAT, methadone in my instance, has allowed me to get structure back in my life and to simply have a LIFE. IM not sure when I will taper of the methadone but the program has given me options I didn't have before.
Biggest fentanyl drug dealer is the Big Guy, no one else can come close.
@Ah Stuttgart you mean the legal authorities who are compromised by democrats? Get real smh
What? Who is that?
I'd include Obama in that drug tribe
The evidence is the open border
By not securing the borders of the USA properly
he ain't lying... his meaningful words makes every bit of sense.. and by god it shows.
You are absolutely right.
The chemicals come from china and they make it in Mexico.
That's just another way China wants to kill us.
Makes sense ... but not for the demented idiot, bribin Brandon.
Shame on Kennedy. That is progressive garbage. No real conservative would support that. What's next alcohol dealers, GUN DEALERS?!?!?!?! The person that takes any product is responsible for their own safety and those around them regarding that product. It's called individual freedom and PERSONAL responsibility. You know the American way?!?! All drugs and prostitution should be legal. Know who agrees with me? THE FOUNDING FATHERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE how YT has determined 3 replies should be silenced.
@@mikeh8416 I'm one. I'm a true constitutional conservative. Mandatory minimum sentencing schemes are PROGRESSIVE for that matter so is prohibition. The government is gonna save you from yourself? The founding fathers in their wisdom made no laws restricting ''vice''. I know I know ''they couldn't have imagined the hard stuff today''
Does that sound familiar?
Lets see if that one makes it or gets shadow banned
This man makes me proud of my love for Louisiana ! Two of my children were born in Houma La God bless the great state
I could listen to Senator Kennedy all day ..makes me want to move to Shreveport,LA
My daughter is a sophomore at Lansing High School in Lansing Kansas. The boy that was mentioned in a hearing not too long ago, he was her friend. When things like that happen, the tendrils of fear and anxiety grow. We are a small place, most of us have lived here our entire lives, we are raising our kids here. It seems like we are insulated, safe…but this is effecting everyone, including our town. I hope more Americans push legislation that will mitigate this crisis.
Sorry but that little naive. Small towns normally worse with opiates and speeds. Per capital is what i mean.
@@FromRootsToRadicals_INTP you’re correct. We live a few miles from Leavenworth KS. The drug problem is clear when you see the people. Lansing is just now experiencing it. We need a change. Thank you for pointing out the obvious issues in my comment! It makes me pause and consider things more carefully. ❤
@GenericBrand the per capita thing is a bit disingenuous though. If one drug user/dealer in a small town raises the rate higher than thousands in a metropolitan area, it doesn't mean the small town's sidewalks are full of nodded out junkies and muggers. You're still better off in small town USA where church and hard work are still a thing.
Ask the honorable Mr. Booker if a 15 year mandatory sentence for insider trading by public officials would dissuade that type of activity.
Imagine only five years for attempted murder.
Thank you Sen Kennedy I pray you are able to accomplish this and more against fentanyl.
AMEN Senator Kennedy! I 💯 I AGREE!! ❤️❤️
But will that stop fentanyl deaths? Did it work for cocaine? Only thing that’ll ever work is legalization. That stops the dealers that keeps things regulated.
@TheSlickRips No it won't stop any of the drug overdoses. It'll just make the criminals more violent and more desperate to not get caught. Unfortunately these zero tolerance policies lead to more death and more carnage. But jails get filled and people make profit.
@TheSlickRips one of the few voices of reason
As a Black American Man , we need the hardest punishment possible to be given out to everyone dealing drugs or bringing drugs into the Country..
Amen!!
Amen brother. Sick of this culture. We must change
Absolutely, and particularly to save young minds that are preyed upon by the dealer culture.
Why.... as a Black American Man? Why not a White American Man?
Thank you Rep. Kennedy for all your efforts to present facts and truth !
In my opinion, I think some in our government are protecting their own supply lines.
Yeah supply to the MONEY look up what Bush Clinton and Obama are doing there gonna be flying in immigrants passing our border all together human smuggling there making money out of all of this drugs human smuggling child sex trafficing there helping the cartels get super rich guarantee there making a cut these people are DEMONS 😈👿👿
Does Booker realize we have high incarceration partly because many other countries execute drug dealers?
Good one. Many countries would NOT tolerate any of this.
They do not care. Our country is overrun by illegal aliens. Biden is responsible for fentanyl deaths
@@explorations40 maybe he can’t see either since he is Cockeyed Willie
You can tell from his eyes that he is evil.
They also have capital punishment ! If we had it the crime rate would be cut in half the first year !
Senator Kennedy, I have no doubt you are an amazing father! Our country is blessed to have you as a public servant.
Where would we be without such "Public Servants"? Milton Friedman called Prohibition "Socialism for Criminals."
Life in prison for any amount of that crap
ALL truth!!! I am ONE person and I know PERSONALLY 3 people who have buried a loved one - all men. My brother in love who died from Fentanyl - he didn't even know was there - left behind 3 young boys. My good friends 24-year-old son who ALSO had no idea his pot was laced with fentanyl and left behind a 1-year-old son. My cousin's son - 23-year-old successful college post graduate student who was in a elite university on scholarship - had no idea that the coke he ONE TIME USED to help with staying up to study ... died of fentanyl. He too had no idea what he was getting. That's 3 people with just me!!! That's a HUGE amount of people to know who have died from this filth!! Travesty that it was blocked. How horrible. He was NOT talking about drug addiction. He was talking about the killers SELLING the stuff. What a travesty Booker and the Democrats are!! Thanks Sen. Kennedy. You are a national treasure.
The question people ignore is why taking the drugs in the first place? the root cause of people taking drugs knowing it could harm them or kill them, humans are all over the world but only a few places where people are taking those drugs, not everywhere, why? surely drug dealers are not forcing people to buy their drugs, it's normal for people to point the finger somewhere else and never deal with the problem within, because the truth hurt.
We need more men like Sen. Kennedy!
Thank You! Please Pass This To Save Our American People! 🙏🇺🇸
What evidence do you have that harsher jail penalties help deter drug use? Wouldn’t having regulated places to get the drugs Americans want save more people? Look up the stats for Portugal since they decriminalized in 2001. Go ahead, I’ll wait .
If you can say that, can you say Please Pass a Bill to Close our boarders and borders
Nobody else cares, right, Joe/barak?
Save yourselves. Don't take drugs and raise your children not to.
Republicans used to believe in this thing called personal responsibility. & pull yourself by your bootstrap.
Yet, absolves the individual taking the drugs, & and condemns the person making a living.
There is no dealer without a buyer
Somebody tell Booker that we need to bring her to Hanging Tree and that will stop a whole lot of drug dealers
the fentanyl creators should be held accountable
They will be in a heavenly court by a divine Judge that will never be swayed by party politics or bribes.
😂
Democrats want this to keep going on.
That would be China
Big PHARMA made fentanyl a thing. But instead you want to prosecute the victims. 2grams in the street is nothing. It is only slightly stronger than heroin because of adulteration standards. This bill would destroy lives of those you are trying to save.
The Fentanyl dealers need to be brought up on murder charges.
They need to be sent to God and let him sort them out. They have given up their rights for life.
DEA enters a doctors office. Removes the doctor for being compassionate to patients, while monitoring them via prescriptions. Some doctors have been known to be crooks, as in any profession perhaps. But, the DEA leaves the patients stranded without medication. In agony. Then, withdrwals and more agony and maybe death. Forcing the patient to seek help elsewhere where they likely die, or suffer until death if they do not commit suicide first. These patients couldn’t get in IF they find another doctor’s office because firstly the DEA has their medical record. Should the DEA suffer consequences for those actions?
Fentenyl dealers should have to take all of their own supply at one time.
Why? They ain't giving that shit to people who don't want it🤨
Smh y'all blame someone else for another man's irresponsibility. News flash nobody makes anyone else's decisions for them.
Gluttony is the source of most overdoses.
9×'s outta 10 the dealer has zero to with the addicts demise.. no man can make another mans choices. Everybody always looking for someone to blame.
@@joshuakilcrease9425 I can't believe I'm agreeing with you, but I am.
Senator Kennedy is one of the few that seems to actually care about Americans.
Screw this Dixycrat, Kennedy who taxes our American Children $350 per child every month‼️
I wonder if he can tell us what the the number one killer of children 16 and under? I further wonder if he cares to address that issue as well? Since he is one of the few that cares! Perhaps he only cares about Americans of voting age!
Abortion is THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF CHILDREN PERIOD.
He cares more about We The People. Younger kids area future voters. He can only take so much. Why don't others step up. Only hear from a few of all these in office.
@@gritter2112 meanwhile, afraid of their shadows, republicans just blast away‼️
SEN. KENNEDY ALWAYS MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSE. 💯%
Except when he opens his mouth.
How did giving harsher penalties workout to deter cocaine use? The only thing that’ll protect American citizens is regulation of the market so people know what they’re getting.
No. It makes sense that taking deadly drugs is suicide and not a murder.
@@theslickrips5904
Esp when cia was importing coke by the cargo plane load
Do you know what that will lead too??? you guys forgot about the war on drugs and the mass incarceration
