Actually enforcing the laws at the border will solve a large portion of the fentanyl problem.
Problem solved!
Why would the commander in chief want to secure OUR borders 🇺🇦 🇨🇳
That'd mean libertarians can't get their cheap labor and highs. Their worst nightmare of big state involvement would also come true. Liberals and leftists also refuse to do it.
@@anacc3257 It's all a lie to scare you people. 🤣
Yes, it would help. It would help even more if the source of fentanyl were dealt with, which is China, by the way.
"Here's why the government isn't responsible for solving the fentanyl crisis" and it is because government officials aren't particularly interested in doing things that are useful and beneficial to society at large.
They are interested in things that benefit them personally, however.
Not to mention easier takeover.
We should ban insider trading, then our leaders would be less corrupt. Why do so many right wing politicians in both parties oppose it
So true !! Until it hits them personally or a loved one MAYBE JUST MAYBE something will be done to fight this POISON drug !! I live in Southeast Texas and I have family that is in danger and YES, it pisses me off that our government is doing NOTHING !!! 😤
Politicians worship the god of money, satan .
The majority of it is coming from China but sure bud!
I am a 65 year old chronic pain sufferer that was on a pain program. Now I am forced to live in pain and still care for my disabled wife. My body, my choice...but the government seems to think otherwise. Thanks Kat.
I hear ya bro. Im a chronic pain sufferer. She has no clue about this.
We all have pain, so you are not alone.
Nobody gives a s**t about your pain!
Yes they are making us innocent people in pain suffer and die what torture left without pain relief it’s so evil what these monsters have done to are guidelines
What??? Horrible! I will pray
I’ve said for years that this crack down on opioids would push addicts towards heroin, while those with chronic pain suffer.
There is no heroin on the streets just so you know. None no where
@@dmo848 I haven’t looked in a couple years so I can’t argue. Another reason fentanyl is surging.
Tyrus again keeping it real and simple. Love this guy!! No BS!!
Tyrus is literally one of the most insightful people on Fox News. He ALWAYS says something smart.
Thank u for correcting all the misinformation out there! As a pain patient I have been a victim of all this hysteria after my 3rd spinal fusion in 2018. The horrors I have been through is inhumane!! We have had enough of living in this nightmare! Let us treat our pain again
Vote Democrat if you want your rights back as a woman in America.

@@Bonespur2Jail Vote Democrat so she can be pushed into the gutter by men pretending to be women.
@@johnhoran9840 you lost but thanks for coming out dolt, magat.
You didn't refute my point, which means you surrendered.
How sad is it that the GOVERNMENT is the reason we have to think twice about what tactics we use to solve problems. It's unacceptable that we have to worry about how our own government will inevitably use those tactics to further control the people. Time for a change, whatever the cost.
Give em an inch and they take 2 miles.
Tyrus said it. Poisoning our friends and loved ones.
For sure, so tragic on so many levels💔
Tyrus is a genius. Well done Kat.
Tyrus definitely contributes intelligent discussion to the show.
Tyrus was absolutely correct!!! My husband’s family has lost 2 young guys to accidental overdose this last year. Another mother has lost her children because she can’t escape her addiction. This is poison ☠️
Thats her problem. Not ours
@@JohnGalt-vr3lx not true. In the end we all pay for it.
I'm glad I watched this I couldn't understand why anybody would want to risk such a dangerous drug but now I know people don't even know there taking it. This really sucks.
They're pressing it to look like so many other pills. 🙏🇺🇲💪🤙
I can’t believe I’m the only one who finds it weird that as a soon as fentanyl came on the scene we pulled out of Afghanistan and the heroin epidemic disappeared.
Fentanyl been a thing since at least 2017. Trump been talking about it his entire term. It has gotten completely out of hand the last few years though
@@kievonJSmoothSoul; That's what I mean.....I work in the field of addiction and it's very rare to see a heroin addict or even an alcoholic anymore. Nothing but Feyntnal users.
"Keep 'em stoned stupid, addicted and dependent, and they'll vote DemoCULT forever."
@@kievonJSmoothSoul Fentanyl has been "a thing" since the 1960's. People who suffer from debilitating chronic pain use it to have some kind of normalcy in their lives. Blame the cartel. The second people start airing garbage like this, the people who suffer the most get effected. Far more than any drug dealer or junkie.
@@MaloneMantooth it's the lacing and also many were using Cocaine and crack moves over to fent. And most are NOT chronic pain victims. More like chronic Addicts caused by some past trauma or just poor judgment
Tyrus cutting right to the point, as usual.
He was spot on.
Excellent call
I like Long John Silvers. Kat that's not an accurate assesment. LJS is delicious.
How many people think that this is being done on purpose to keep the people down....
I have to disagree, because "poison" is a question of DOSAGE ... *Fentanyl gets used IN HOSPITALS ... EVERY DAY ... SAFELY!*
The problem is that STREET MERCHANTS sell stuff that was "cooked up by some idiot" ... and if that idiot gets the dosis wrong by just a bit ... you suddenly end up with twice or three times as much AND AN OVERDOSIS ... [like a certain George F. ... who had more than three times the lethal dosis ... and was showing the sings - NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATHE - before even leaving his own car].
So yeah, Tyrus had some good points BUT HE ALSO MISSED OTHERS!
In the end it comes down to the CDC "cracking down on LEGAL opiates" ... and thus creating the market for ILLEGAL/HOME MADE PRODUCTS. *This is EXACTLY like the PROHIBITION which made the Mafia prosperous ... but american PURITANS must have their ABSOLUTE BANS on stuff.*
2:30 Thank you for finally bringing this up. My wife has been suffering from these ridiculous guidelines for nearly a decade. She went from a pre-med student to bedridden because she is unable to receive adequate pain management.
Glad to hear SOMEONE speak to chronic pain sufferers who are tired of being criminalized.... I was maintained on fentanyl for years ... Suddenly, I'm a psuedo-criminal, and can't possibly be prescribed... And now my activities of daily living suck... Had to leave workforce..and am chronically in ungodly pain... Not matter how much PT, bio feedback , or prayers... And there are many of us !
Tyrus makes a great point
Waterbury?
I disagree. There are people who actively use/seek out fentanyl. After all George Floyd was the most famous user
he usually does..
its ALMOST a shame he was born so big. if hed been born more average i wonder what academics he could have gone into and excelled at.
@@lawrencetalbot8346 no one seeks out Fet. The cartel uses it to dilute more expensive products while enhancing potency. The majority of overdoses are people using cocaine.
He’s also a sexual predator that FOX spent millions to “save”
Thank god someone has brought up the impact of the war on drugs to pain management patients. As a pain management patient for 13 years, I've been along for the ride from being restricted but allowed up to a maximum safe dose, to a maximum allowable dose based on feelings. I had a medication set that allowed me to be a productive employee, father, and husband. Now, I have to REALLY pick and choose what I do because the sheer amount of pain paid for any action is large. An hour of light yard work can take me down for 12 hours.
@James M. That someone like you would be denied relief is reprehensible. I'm old. I've had more than a couple of operations. Took whatever was prescribed, then got off them. Uncomfortable if you don't taper. Why don't doctors allow for tapering instead of being clueless or judgmental a$$holes? Stupid.
I am sorry that you're dealing with that and I understand. My husband and I are both chronic pain patients for over 30 years each. We never had kids - that has to be tough - being a good husband, parent and employee. I have a recognized condition that opioid treatment is recommended for & I had my meds cut 3x - I put my foot down and said no more. If I'm to be productive, I need these meds. I had been a chronic pain patient for 25 years by then & never abused my meds. The doc did the same to my husband, then dumped him after he confronted her about lying to him. She promised to reinstate his meds to their previous levels after the crisis blew over and then refused. She tried harassing him through me. She wouldn't listen. She kept pushing him to get injections - this was after he left his former doc who only did injections, which worsened his condition, to see her. I kept reminding her that he'd been through the injection grind. It fell on desf ears. Thanks to her paranoia and fear, his pain is now debilitating. Thankfully she left the practice. We're seeing a new doc and he's back on pain meds but not enough. I suffer from 2 chronic pain conditions so I have understanding of what he's going through. It's rough seeing him suffer.
I can totally relate! Unless a person is in Chromic pain or has ever been in chronic pain, will never understand that we aren't trying to get high! We are just trying to have a better quality of life! And when your in Chronic pain, you don't really get high, you are able to function. The drug war was not supposed to be towards the chronic pain patient, it was supposed to be against the drug dealers, cartels, china.
I am in the exact same situation. I am legitimately disabled and have been in constant pain for over a decade. It controls my life. I live in Washington State and it is a nightmare to try to get pain medication. Literally the same doctors that managed my pain for years now sneer at me and give me a lecture every time I bring it up. And of course refuse to treat me. I used to have a great and productive life even with the pain, now I just basically do nothing. It sucks. And if I tell those same doctors that it sucks they try to put me on antidepressants. The whole situation is insane. Good luck. I hope the situation gets better for all of us.
I have a rare condition that has led to other conditions gradually that has increased my pain through the years. I have been on the same script for 8 years and it barely does anything for me anymore. I even do homeopathic things to help but my issues are getting worse but I am afraid to say anything. IF I have a great day and can be productive, I am down 2-3 days because I overd do it. I take advantage of the situation. I know I should not but I feel like a bum, lazy and a bad wife if I do not jump on the opportunity that is rare. My mental health is suffering because I am afraid to speak up because of doctors being afraid. It just sucks. . . .
That wrestler guy spoke truth. That made so much sense. Especially if the person dying or poisoned had no clue they had taken it then it’s intentional
So many in my community hard died from fentanyl. It's so sad.
If you have ever had chronic pain that a legit doctor won't treat you will do anything to alleviate the pain. Our broken dysfunctional medical system wants to suck more money out of our wallets and do less to actually cure anything.
It's not our medical system, it's government interference in medicine and pharmacology that is the problem.
*ya and the people sending the Fetanyl over here know that. Same people who own the WHO and own the CDC.*
You should also thank the USA addicts who are being called victims. They make getting a needed RX near impossible. Also the yellow bellied doctors.
@@docsavage8640 its actually the insurance companies, but :/
@@PNWAffliction it's actually the CDC and DEA but ok.
Tyrus nailed it.
Kat you killed it! you'll definitely get your own show one day
Are you serious. She is not funny.
@@tonyclifton2230 So how's the weather on Mars, mate?
THANK YOU KAT!! PLEASE keep pressing on about chronic pain patients. Right now I am having to find a new primary care physician and I was just in tears because it’s seems no doc wants to allow me to keep my tramadol prescription 😢I have no idea what I’m going to do if it gets taken away 😢
Smoke some pot and get over it.
Wow Kat, amazing block! Many great points were made. Unfortunately I feel until we really, truly secure our border the fentanyl crisis will only deepen. 😔
The looters running big pharma are a bigger problem than anything about immigration. We should decriminalize cannabis as well, that might help some
Hunter is probably the biggest distributor of fentanol........
What have republicans done to secure border? 4 years, no laws, no funding, no wall? HUM. Seems like you they like to WHINE like little b!tches
Larry and Tyrus are on point.
Good show, but for brilliance and level headed commentary watch to the end for Tyurs' take on anthrax/fentyenal comparison. Well done Tyrus!
I'm a recovering heroin addict and the fentanyl crisis is terrifying to me. I used for years and have been clean for about a year and a half. If I went back to using, I would probably die because I'm no longer used to the fentanyl that has invaded the market.
On the other side, I used to work in a pharmacy in the early 2000s and I remember the fentanyl patches for pain. I also remember people cutting them up and taking them siblingually to get high. So the fentanyl crisis has been here for a long time. And it has indeed made it harder for people who need the pain meds to get them. And I, for one, apologize for that effect. I helped contribute to it.
Thanks Kat for telling the truth and putting it out there.
I really like when she host!

As a 62 yr old Chronic Pain Patient, with an uncurable, progressive disease, I thank you!! My doctors are so fearful of prescribing me my opioid pain medication, I've had 2 heart attacks, due to inadequate pain control (according to my Cardiologist). Yet, even with that fact, & fact that taking opioids for over 30 years, I haven't become addicted nor overdosed, NOT ONCE. Thanks to the DEA's FALSE algorithms, I am now bedbound. Only question I have is, is this quality of life worth living? NOPE
Thank you for speaking out for people with chronic pain. My husband suffers from ulcerative colitis, and it's impossible to get help. Since the law changed, hes attempted suicide on more than one occasion. Cutting off the legal supply only leads to higher demand elsewhere. The border would have helped, but alternative AFFORDABLE non-opiate meds for pain, OR even AFFORDABLE DETOX would even be better.
Thank you Kat for saying that about the failed war on drugs on Prime time national TV. Keep up the good work.
Legalizing drugs is a complex issue. I understand Kats point but I think Half the 'players' in this war are bureaucrat's who say one thing but are really disingenuous. We have Law Enforcement that's genuinely concerned but aren't being supported like they need. It's like the Vietnam 'Conflict' that the Generals didn't take very seriously because the Congress wouldn't change the situation to 'War'. Like Emily said, there's more extensive tools available to Law Enforcement & the Judiciary to her point about designating a group as terrorists. To Kats point; it's one thing to pour drugs into your body & that's your choice but, under the influence of the drugs, the person can make a bad choice...like driving a car & possibly inflicting pain on others. People aren't going to be very responsible when under the influence. I think Kat is missing that point. The 'War on Drugs' must be taken more seriously then it has been but I can see some legalization can be tolerated.
@@carmiethompson2676 I understand your point, however it's just another endless war, and it's an endless war because nobody is fighting to win. All anyone is doing is fighting to get more tax money to spend. I believe if we seriously wanted to put an end to the drug problem and stop the drugs coming across our borders it could be done in a heartbeat, but it easier to keep the issue going so politicians can fill their campaign coffers by promising to fix it, and never fixing it.
@@carmiethompson2676 that's a bunch of nonsense.
Decriminalization of all drugs for people age 18+(or 21+) is what needs to happen and instead of locking up users who are consenting adults we should be locking up any cartel losers, international drug smugglers, and the drug dealers who lie to their clientele about what drugs they're actually purchasing.
Giving the government more power over us is not the answer, the "war on drugs" is only a war against our own people and it's done nothing to solve any of the problems we were told it would solve, you people who expect the government to solve every problem are why we're in this mess to begin with.
@@carmiethompson2676 prohibition didn't work for alcohol and it's not working for any other substances, people like you need to get over your obsession with having the government control every little aspect of people's lives and worry about your own responsibilities, your safety is your responsibility.
@@Sp3c9000 Ha! You couldn't put your thoughts into one post? Just so excited aren't you. Anyway, I'm not expecting the Govt. to do anything other then what the Constitution requires it to do. That's prosecute offenders & protect the Citizenry. So you didn't understand my last post because that's the way it sounds in you comment. There's always abuse in taking Alcohol & Drugs & that's what you 'Free-for-Alls' don't want to accept. You don't need the High...get a life, if you're a guy find a girl, if you're a girl find a guy. Life is for living not to acquire substances abuse. If you DWI, tough; you pay. If your employer sees you're impaired you get a warning & you keep doing it, you're Fired. I don't preach prohibition, I preach consequences.
Tyrus always has good insights
Except for the part of giving up liberty for security and safety.
@@1974dormouse That always gets my back up hearing some cretin say that, when the answer from Kat is the only workable. People stupid enough to put krap in their mouth are the same ones too stupid to learn how to operate a rubber. So Goodonya Whaaaaat?
Chronic pain patients needed to hear this. It’s already a humiliating diagnosis. Stop punished the vast majority for the actions of a few.
This was one of the best presentations of freedom I've ever seen/read on a #1 rated news show. Audience found it difficult to follow, but it was purposeful, thoughtful and powerful. Thank you Fox for offering Kat Timpf a platform for her articulate libertarian views.
Kat is so much better than she's typically allowed to show. She needs more time in the spotlight. Sharp, funny, and cute as hell too.
Yup
Alcohol prohibition made Al Capone rich and powerful. Drug prohibition is making current
criminals rich and powerful. As Ben Franklin and or Albert Einstein are reputed to have
said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different
result.
Except this time, it seems as if this is all being done intentionally.....
What better way to keep the population on it's knees...
Einstein wasn't a psychiatrist so his definition for insanity is of little or no value. Furthermore, as a scientist he should only define it by observable behavior. Expectation is a mental state and is therefore not observable.
"Keep 'em stoned stupid, addicted and dependent, and they'll vote DemoCULT forever."
@@gastronomist You've spent a LOT of time sniffing bowels.
Well alcohol is still a leading money getter but it's the breweries and the stores that are profiting so what's the difference? There should be bigger fines or penalties associated with those who push the products but if it was illegal pharma and doctors would need to find alternate drugs to compensate. It's called innovation
Great job Kat 👏👏👏 Been living with Chronic pain for 17 years. My doctor use to prescribe them to me. Now I have to see a pain management specialist and drive 2 1/2 hours wait to see the doctor then drive 2 1/2 hours back home. That’s worse than the pain. Please relieve some restrictions on Pain medication for Chronic pain for people who don’t abuse them. Well said Tyrus it’s poison 👏👏
I get the impression that both Kat and Tyrus were brought onto the show initially for their comedic quips and change of pace thinking, but the more I hear them giving their honest and serious takes on things like the topic of the "poisoning" of America the more I'd like them to drop the funny and just give their take on issues.
Kat did a good job framing the problem and injecting thought provoking points from her angle, and Tyrus knocked it out of the park (in my opinion) by comparing a serious drug problem to fentanyl poisoning. Kat's right, people aren't going out looking for fentanyl, but are dying when what they're after is laced with it.
I'd love to see these two keep maturing into their own and continue sharing their views on drugs, politics, individual rights, whatever. America needs more examples of the sharing of independent, sometimes opposing views without people getting angry or violent or seeking to silence voices they disagree with. America is, and should be, the place where you can be heard - in the appropriate time and place without fear of self-appointed "thought police" or "fact checkers" shutting you down. Keep it coming, guys!!
They have a great podcast. It’s more comedy-oriented, but the chemistry between them is really good.
Yes! Kat comes of as a dumb bimbo and Tyrus looks more like a street punk but I think these two are perhaps the sharpest people on TV. Both very insightful.
My oxycodone, oxycontin, hydrocodone and even Tylenol 3's were so restricted by the VA we had to find a different treatment for chronic nerve pain from inside my spinal column. I tried Gabapentin, then finally Pregabalin and it finally works. But yeah all this stopping the codeine did was drive people to illegally imported stuff and the open border makes it worse.
Tyrus is spot on with his analysis
Yes.
Yes he is absolutely correct! I never thought of it that way. Great point!
@fosterpainter I said that a few shows back. He has a very down to earth way of looking at issues.
I’ve been on opioids for over 2 years now, after a terrible motorcycle accident I was lucky enough to find an Orthro that gives me the meds I need, and then some. I’m in my mid-20s and I’ve very active and in good shape, but I know how messed up my life MAY get if I’m a slave to pain meds. I thank god that im strong and healthy enough to force myself to do things, but I do not want to be a slave to this forever. Being on opioids for this long is already affecting me. I can feel it already. I pray to god I can be off pain meds one day.
How are they "affecting you"? I was on them for 30 years and the only thing they did to me was allow me to live a normal life. Yeah, guess I was dependent, but so what? I could hike, work out, everything, and now I can't. These laws suck and punish people who don't deserve it.
Excellent monologue, Kat!
As a senior citizen and chronic pain sufferer, I agree the new law on opioids are ridiculous. Although I normally take NSAIDS, sometime the pain is too bad and I need something more. A 5 mg vicoden or percocet, or even a tylenol with codeine. I go through about 20 of those A YEAR, but even get those 20 is extremely difficult, even though I have a 60+ year history of not abusing drugs
Try cannabis.
It's insane that the good have to suffer because of the bad.
And not to mention your stomach!! Ulcers are common from nansaids! Warrior too
I only have 1 kidney with negative function and therefore cannot take any anti-inflammatory meds! I suffer horribly everyday as well, spinal disease, broken spinal fusion, severe neuropathy. These animals at the CDC should suffer as we do, just one day and then the thick-headed idiots would understand! Voting Republican can help in some states, like Colorado
Maybe you people should try using Turmeric or White Willow Bark for pain. they are both anti-inflamatory, and reduce pain naturally...and you shouldn't build up a tolerance as your body recognizes both as food. Plus, no side effects. In fact, White Willow Bark was the precursor of modern-day aspirin. Stop putting all those chemicals in your body...they do more harm than good. 🤨
Thank you for bringing attention to pain patients. I've been dealing with it for over 20 years and the restrictions have caused so much harm. I've seen so many people look to relieve debilitating pain from the streets or as Kat said, just end their lives. It's hard to face the day when you just breathing is painful. I hope they figure it out soon.
Very hard
Restricting prescriptions is not the solution. Closing the border is.
*Clinton did this on purpose in NY to drive people to taking street drugs.*
I have been on opioids since 1996. I only take a dose of 30 mil. every 6 to 8 hours. I would have taken the easy way out a long time ago without it. Oxycodone is the only thing I take. I also do 3or 4 day fasts without it. I wouldn't have been able to watch my son's and daughter grow up without it. I am 65 now the pain is worse but I refuse to give up I was cut back to 20 mil. every 6 hours last year. It has been tough but still hanging on. Hope they fix this soon.
@@rickyjoyner6508 *They did that to my dad and I told him to ask them why they were so intent on pushing an experimental drug thats making people drop dead like flies but they want to cut back on a medication that people have been taking for 8000 years? My patience with 'doctors' is so done. I no longer hold back anything. I let them know exactly what I think of them.*
when the government tried to mandate morality in 1919 with the Volstead Act, " Prohibition' Chicago had 1500 taverns and saloons, within a few years there were 15,000. the government can't do anything efficiently. the government involved with anything makes the problem worse
Much love Kat!
We want more of you!
I loved this episode. It really showcased how grown adults can have a wide range of differing opinions, and still have a meaningful and civilized conversation.
Yes
Indeed
I know
Also the Kat's smoking Hot
I was crushed at age seven. I almost died. I'm in my 50's and I've had over 74 surgeries and 52 just on my hip and knee. 52 Hip and knee replacements due to infections, hardware failures, new experimental devices and several doctor mistakes by putting in the wrong size devices. I've also been in several vehicle accidents and lived a physically straining life that has caused severe back, hand and neck pain. When I lived in Texas I was on 10 pain pills a day because I've built up such a medication tolerance over almost 40+ years. Because I've had so many hop surgerie theres no more bone left. So I have a severe broken pelvis and hip replacement but they don't feel I would survive another surgery. I also have a severe breathing problem because I've been intubated so many times my vocal cords are damaged.
After spending all my saving to stay indoors during 2020 debacle I had to move in to my dads summer home in Arkansas. This town only has one pain management facility. The doctor put me on 2 pills aday because it's the law. 10 to 2. I have never had any issues with my last pain management doctor that I had for 20 years. Living with the pain has turned me in to a bed bound person. It's to painful to get up. I have other major medical issues too. It's not fair but no one said life was fair. I could go onto Hospic care and get more medicine for 6 months. But after 6 months I would get nothing. I might take them up on that. 6 more months with less pain and then, and then, and then. lol. A little joke. I won't beable to live without medicine so I guess it would finally be over. All this misery because our idiot government officials that get everything they need and want with a snap of a figure really dont care. If they did care they would have markers for chronic pain patients that have documented cases of traumatic injuries.
@A Proud American You said it all. The lack of care for chronic pain patients is reprehensible and illogical. Best wishes.
have you looked into using cannabis? I know its not as strong of a pain reliever, but since the 2018 farm bill passed you can order a vast array of products through the mail. There are also cannabinoids available now that used to only be talked about in research papers 90 years ago. Drug testing could possibly be an issue in this backwards system, but even then there are ones other than THC that can be as good or better. One of them is called THCP, and its like 50x as powerful and can last for 3-4x the duration. I think that stuff mixed with CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC and then some form of THC or HHC, would have amazing potential for treating chronic pain (alongside other general health benefits)
@A Proud American I'm sorry that I can't offer you anything more than a Prayer. So that's what I will offer you. 😥🙏💗 I Prayfor you to have peace !!
And this, PEOPLE, is why pain patients are turning to the black market for their pain management needs. It's horrendous!
Methadone clinic? Its a strong painkiller and you can set your own dose. First year or so sucks cause you have to go so much, but yeah. Its covered by insurance a lot of the time now too.
From a fellow libertarian, kudos for speaking out the truth. We ended prohibition bc people were dying and going blind from alcohol. How many people do you know have gone blind from legal booze lately???
You go Kat. What a breath of fresh air. 2 thumbs up.
You can literally look at it as a chemical weapon.
I love Kat ❤❤
I feel so bad for people in actual pain. This is so ridiculous!! A friend of mine has knee issues and been waiting OVER A YEAR for another surgery - no joke - (thanks obummercare) they wont give him ANYTHING but ibuprofen and tylenol he is in his late 30s has never EVER had drug issues never needed pain management and can barely work to stay alive
ot in debt permanently yet cant have ANY pain management while waiting on their shitty system to schedule a surgery... What a shitshow
The people that are in actual pain are paying the price for the abusers!
Take kratom. Not as strong/addictive as opiods but stil effective.
For those in severe pain, there are pain management clinics/ Doctors who will evaluate your medical history.
9jjj*and I hope 🙏 ❤️

Tyrus is 100% spot on. Fent isn't a drug, it's a poison.
Love ya. Your insight is keen and honest.
I like Kat. The only one that outwardly rejected surveillance of Americans. Also really enjoyed all the different takes. This far more digestible than any left wing media channel format.
@@duncangale945 a welcome addition sir
The word "terrorism" actually has a definition. You can't just call everything you don't like 'terrorism'. It amounts to the same thing as calling everyone you don't like a 'fascist'.
The Cartels use violence and threats of it to control politicians.
Exactly. It is so sickening to hear people constantly misuse words.
People should be terrorized by this Fentanyl crisis, but it's being ignored... Fentanyl deaths are the leading killer if 18-45 year olds, (and that's the target demo)... So it's going to impact new TV shows and movies...
Soooo acceptable for them and not for others? Got ya.
Just like the word racist.
Thank you so much for speaking up. I’m a CPP WHOSE LIFE HAS BEEN REDUCED FROM A WORKING GRANDMOTHER TO ALMOST HOUSE BOUND. WHICH IS NOTHING TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING FROM SUICIDE BECAUSE THEIR PAIN IS BEYOND TOLERABLE. PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED CP just can’t possibly understand this misery. Every wee people in our pain groups have crated suicide. The Gov has blood on their hands from simple ignorance. What has happened to humanity?
You go tyrus, you are exactly right!
This is the 1st time I've seen Kat host. I'm digging it. Well done. Im a recovering addict and I've gotten stuff laced with fent and it almost killed me. My wife died of a fent overdose in February 2021. This topic hits real close to home for me.
@Call Me Fienix My sympathy, terrible thing.
I'm so sorry for your loss. So many lives have been ruined by fentanyl. I pray that you beat this addiction.
Let me get this straight, '' my wife died from fentanyl, fentanyl almost killed me, we need to make fentanyl legal '' I don't get it.
@@sapphonymph8204 who in these comments said they wanted to make fentanyl legal? I don't see anyone saying that. Just wondering
@@c_money8080 uhhhh most of them?
Fentanyl is a drug, you want drugs legalized. Are you high right now, or just stupid?
I love Larry Kudlow
Very very good man
Ty for speaking up for chronic pain patients being tortured by their state govt laws denying opiates to those with severe pain. Also, DEA asset forfeiture laws need to be dropped as many pain and addiction medical specialists lose everything they worked for by simply treating their patients appropriately and must spend hundreds of thousand to regain their "stolen" property.
Instead fixing society, people continuously call for a new law. Ask anyone that's gotten a speeding ticket if the laws written stopped them speeding.
I've always believed legalizing all drugs would end the black market and eliminate crimes associated with it, however, Tyrus makes an excellent point. Fentanyl is in a league of its own and should be dealt with more severely. I also see that limiting opioid prescriptions has backfired, driving patients to resort to street drugs causing more deaths. Here we must choose the lesser or two evils and let physicians decide. Even if this means those prescription drugs are sold on the street, at least their purity is known. Great discussion!
Not working in Oregon.
@@cmozoo worked fine in Portugal. Worked fine before the war on drugs. Also its kind of irrelevant with Oregon because of the feds. Drug use should be safe, legal and rare. No one would care about fentyln if the pharmacy had opiates.
No, just decriminalize everything. Who the f*ck are you to say what people can and cannot do? This is America, the Land of the Free!! (LMAO< NOT)
Vote Democrat if you want your rights back as a woman in America.
It IS the gov't's responsibility to close the border from the free flow of drugs.
Trump: secure border, very limited drug flow.
Biden: open border, enormous drug flow.
Tyrus is amazing! Everything he said is spot on! Wishing more would listen to him and react on his comments!
Thank you Kat for the truth.
Every time the government outlaws a drug, the replacement is worse. The government shares responsibility.
Solid segment. Great delivery by Kat.
I agree with kat. Cant trust the government to not take advantage of the situation
Kat needs her own show.
Thank you Tyrus good point.
I am a army veteran. I use to be on pain kills,until I moved to Texas(been 4 years here). My va doctor here will not give me any. While I was watching this show and getting ready for work, I had a minor back attack. I literally had to stop everything I was doing and try to calm it down. If I try to push through the minor attack, they pain can get bad enough to where it drops me to the ground,I loose my sight,my mind goes crazy,and it takes everything I have to keep calm. I'm about to change va doctors,but if the next one doesn't help...Idk what I'm going to do.
Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Keep going . You'll find one. I did. It took a long time but you will
🙏
There's the problem, doctor's being afraid of getting punished for prescribing opioids. They leave u with no option but to see a drug dealer. you sacrificed your life for this country now they want you to give them more power to solve the problem they created?
Move somewhere you can get a medical card, PK's and opiates have destroyed many of the men I served with, and though some of them have survived and are rebuilding, not a single one of them who ended up on them is better off for it.
Usmc here brother in Arizona. Chronic knee pain due to service and the VA wont help me out either. Days where im left in bed screaming even after multiple surgeries. My va doctor said i had a minor meniscus tear so i shouldnt be in pain, turns out all of my cartilage was shredded and gout crystals had filled in the joint. I fired my VA doctor after 6 months on not checking up on me or setting an appointment. Weird how you serve this country and cant be taken care of in the most minimal aspects.
You’re awesome Kat!
Those who give up essential liberty for a little bit of temporary safety, deserve neither one. --Benjamin Franklin
Just say NO to drugs.
I’m a chronic pain patient that watched my Dr leave the medical field all together because of this shear stupidity. After having my pain meds cut from 400mg/ day to 90mg/ day I was one of those that was ignored by everyone else at the clinic where I’d been a patient for over 40 years. Eventually I found a pain clinic and went through all the hoopla again, but was finally put on Buprenorphine for my pain and am now an active member of my family, an active member at work, and for the first time in 18 years an active member of society. I’ve now been on this for my pain for 5 years and it’s wonderful being able to say YES, to just about any questions my kids throw at me.
Dad, wanna play football? YES! Dad, wanna go to Disneyland? YES! I now get to do what I wasn’t able to do for darn near 2 decades, at it a great feeling.
I say all this in hopes that even just one patient in severe pain finds some relief. Transitioning from the prescription I was on to Buprenorphine was difficult, but once re-adapted my life has been FUN. I hope this helps at least one person.
Taking your kids to Groomerland? Winner move dad.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 - oh look, the dickhead under the bed.
Not the answer, but glad you can move around more.
Moving is the key, moving I got off of pain meds merry go round, pharmaceutical crap a decade or more ago! Cold turkey! Was totally nuts but in the end worth every agonizing second! Because I am free of them! Pain there are natural ways!
But I would never doubt your pain! Just how you Handel it!
Pain is good it becomes the drug! Doctors push the in drugs there told to push!
For me movement is not the solution. With chronic awful pain from 2 failed surgeries, movement makes it worse.
I had no idea bu could be so helpful
Kat hit the nail on the head with her final statement. November can't come fast enough Hopefully this insanity will stop
I believe in the Bible, so I think they're just getting started with the insanity. Since the democrats just bombed nordstream 1&2, I think we'll be in WW3 before midterms by design.
Something tells me by the time the elevation comes around... NOBODY WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE US.
anyone willing to give up freedom for security, deserves neither
THIS is that Kat we need to hear more from!
She hit the nail, right on the head!!
Yeah Tyrus! Now, if only someone were to say switch the words "establishment politicians" with "cartel" we might make even more aware that they may be the same thing,
Thank you for mentioning this... there was a time where overprescribing was a legit concern, but those days are long gone. I am pretty much disabled without pain medication, and now because of the government I cant get any medication or am being forced to take meds that are ineffective. Im a liberal mostly, but I cant deal with this any more. a doctor literallly told me he would rather fill out disability paperwork for me than prescribe me pain medication. Suffering is supposed to be resolved with effective doctoring, but doctors are so scared of the government now. Across the board, medications are being rationed just like we were warned about with obamacare. I wish we could overturn obamacare. I supported it up until I realized it is a huge part of the problem. Most other countries even allow heroin use in the hospital only for pain relief. People don't realize that opiates are just as natural as weed.
Way to make it easier to understand, Tyrus. Thanks
Druggies dropping like flies.....And yet, we never seem to run out of druggies.
🤔🤔
Shut up those are people
I been an addict for 17yrs, the most terrifying thing is them making the fentanyl look exactly like Roxy 30s! Years ago when I was only doing pills, I would look for those anywhere, from anybody, anyway I could find them. And that's what's mainly killing people today, cuz some younger kids might be looking for 1 pill to take at a party or something n then find out its fentanyl, and their tolerance not being that high, means it will instantly Overdose them...its a shame..but they're absolutely right, the lowering of prescription pain relievers didnt help at all with the overdoses...it definitely made it worse...smh
gross dude
It's not just the roxys. The presses they use make them look like everything. Roxy's, xanax, lortab... So you can od off anything. It's terrible.
Or the kids looking to "party" and not knowing they're snorting fenty
Your first fake roxy should your last. One way or another.
What a loser
Great topics! Great stuff
I have been in pain consistently for almost 30 years, the older I get, the worse it gets as more parts of my skeleton break down. Controlling illegal drugs by cracking down on legitimate pain sufferers and their doctors makes as much sense as cracking down on legal law abiding gun owners to stop criminals who commit crimes with illegal guns.
Kat, you should be given your own show. Today was excellent! About China and fentanyl, people who live in China are sending this drug here, yes? The entire nation of China is not doing this. Also, the drug dealers are ordering the fentanyl and using it to beef up other drugs.
No, China is not sending it for free. Someone needs to order them and pay for it, mostly Mexican cartels.
China outlaw fentanly back in 2014. Anyone caught selling it gets the dead penalty.
And the cartels can also get them from USA.
After four back surgeries and several other joint surgeries, w o my prescriptions, I could not work or take care of my family. I'm responsible w them. Yet these uneducated clowns want to sue doctors and pharmacies to cover their failure. Making it harder for us to get the treatment we need.
Prohibition did not work. Learn from history. Love you, Kat!
A lovely side effect of the fentanyl and opioid drugs crossing our borders and entering in cargo containers from China is that those of us who used to benefit from low dose Vicodin and other pain management drugs are denied these medications and treated like heroin addicts by doctors. Governmental, legal, and insurance pressures make physicians afraid to prescribe pain medications leaving people to suffer needlessly.
Thank you Kat for shining the light on this!!! There are so many of us out here who, not by choice, have to use pain medication because we simply don’t have any other options! WE ARE IN PAIN!!! And we are treated worse than junkies who OD!!! They get free narcan to the rescue but we get treated like infants! I’m 57 years old and in chronic pain because I was hit and run over by a speeding car! I’ve had multiple surgeries and I’m left in PAIN. Every day. It doesn’t stop. But thanks to the government who think they know better than my doctor I can’t get the meds that I need to live a productive life! Something needs to change! Anyone who knows me knows I’ve been shouting this from the rooftop! (Apparently the wrong roof tho 🤷🏻♀️) I just wanted to say THANKS Kat! Much love ✌🏼😊
Let’s go Brandon! Great video And reporting.
People often underestimate the power the government gives itself to "help" people. The patriot act is a great example, its almost as if the government creates chaos so they have something to save you from.
Well handled topic, Thank you.
Tyrus killed it. Perfect analogy.
Tyrus once again💯💯💯
The worst words in the English language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
Tyrus hit this one out of the park! Great points, brother
