Hi guys! This was an eye-opening experience. I hope you feel the same. I am deeply thinking about a country wide tour, if you like the idea... Here is my NEW PATREON: www.patreon.com/natefriedman/membership.
Can we be honest, there is no demographic that supports Harris. Everything about the Democratic party establishments' support is fake. From Act Blue to their rallies, their "women", all fake.
users are some of the deepest thinkers that exist, a lot of the time it's their downfall. I was a functional user a couple of decades ago and I've known plenty who know more than many "regular" people regarding life and history, poetry and perspective...people just dont understand them (granted there are many who lose their grip n end up in places like kensington) If you go through the list of artists, authors, even inventors you'd be surprised. From thomas edison to andy warhol, basquiat to edgar allen poe, freud to van gogh, stephen king to picasso...most people dont know the impact many users have had on history. This isnt me speaking positively of substance abuse, I know from experience what a horrible lifestyle it is, but it's just a bit of perspective because many see them as "losers" when the reality is that many are masking pain and trying to quiet their mind
But do they have the ability to get sober long enough to do what needs to be done to register, to get to the right Polling place, and to stand in line for the hours necessary to actually Vote? 🤔
Kind of speaks to how bad things are getting, these aren't people with degraded faculties or massive social maladaptations, they're in large part just people who got kicked in the nuts and they're trying to get up from it.
@@L_LGBTQ The opposite. He is inarticulate, but he would definitely start to take care of those things right away. We cannot have people from other countries voting, cannot have this border open bc it is taking away from the poor communities and endangering their lives every day. Like him or not, and he is not my favourite person, we have to really look at what this administration has been doing to stay in power. They have made it impossible for third party candidates by suing them to keep from being on ballots in states. The obviousness of putting the citizens in danger & taking resources from them to get votes is just diabolical.
He seemed like he might have had Tourette’s of some kind and was self medicating for that. Maybe even autistic. The system and his family may have failed him.
Thank you for giving these people a voice. Thank you for speaking to them in a respectful manner. They are victims of the system and anyone of us could fall victim.
Bless these people...They are lost and suffering. Being a recovering alcoholic, I know all too well the mental and psychological struggle that goes on inside you to live and be in such a way. Their voice still matters, they still matter, no matter the mental and physical struggles.

It's amazing that even the addicts that are voting for Trump are more thoughtful, and informed than the addicts that choose Harris. I pray these people can pull themselves out of their situations. 🙏🏼
What are the Democrats policies? Can you give me only three please? And I don't want anything that doesn't have to do outside of healthcare, economy and immigration please Thanks@@doomsdaymonster7
This proves how racist Trump’s campaign & his supporters are. Why are you surprised? Is it because Maga is all white & comparable to KKK? When you look at Kamala’s crowd it is completely diverse. It’s like an old movie. Morals over money! I use to want Trump as well for the economy, but I choose morals over money. Idc if the world collapses, as long as racists aren’t in office.
get everyone you know here in PA to register to vote for a mail in ballot (only if theyre sensible enough to not vote for Harris) so they dont actually need to get out and go because they won't. these people in kensington are homeless trying to get their next fix, of course they're not gonna vote! Trump will win PA, I dont know anyone voting for her. I mean even a lot of addicts in the hood like Trump.
I would believe it more likely went to clinics that deal in MAT such as Suboxone etc. Still a scam and the money always goes to middle-men. Medicaid pays for it and it's supplied by the government in jail and prisons all paid for by the tax payer.
Ikr?? That's enough to put every addicted in in-patient for 30 days. I mean I get it, people have to want the help. But it gives a good idea what they could've accomplished with that kinda money. Things don't look any better in these open-air markets
Yes. That money is ending up somewhere else entirely. It's like the money going to Ukraine, it's being siphoned away into their friends pockets... as you say also kickbacks for themselves. There's intentionally no friggin' oversight of where all those billions went, I guarantee you. But there should be.. and there should be a reckoning for these lying traitors. Hopefully it can happen.
Ya'll need to get to the bottom of these so-called "catholic charities" that are flooding our nation with illegal immigrants on our dime - illegal activity.
My son is an addict and was court ordered last year to attend a rehab that is run by the state and federal government. He said it was super unorganized and people left to get high all the time. My son has been to private rehabs and said he didn’t appreciate how good they were u til the government one. The biggest problem is the access to drugs imo. The border needs to be shut down !! Ps. None of these people are going to vote. They can barely function. The tragedy of our times 😢
I’m so sorry for your son and what you have gone through. I too know first hand as well. It’s painful to watch, it’s painful for the family. I have seen the destruction and the Heart break 💔 Love and prayers to you and your family
I was an addict for years and I can say that government rehab and detox facilities were a mess. It was kinda like jail except more easy for men to sneak to the women's side. Especially men claiming to be women no problem sleep next to these women detoxing and weak and full of meds to knock them out. But... the beautiful views and clean bathrooms are the last thing your thinking of while going thru withdrawal. Your so sick uncomfortable you will be laid out in your own shit piss and throw up and not give a care. It's probably not to far off then places you found yourself being an addict In The past. Now.... I don't think a nice clean place is going to be the end all of a person addiction. If they don't want it it not going to happen. I'm sure the private places are nice and definitely more safe. Especially for women. Those are some things that definitely would be nice. But I don't think it changes a person chances of getting out of the hell hole of addiction because of the beautiful esthetics. I also don't think getting out is about the more money we throw into resources. I mean maybe if facilities are not available. But they are. They are just not being used as intended. Alot of addicts or homeless go for what they call "hot meals and a cot" Especially in the winter months. I don't know what the solution is. There is resources that are available they arnt the prettiest they are sometimes full of employees that just are numb to chaos that they just don't care. Money being poured in to probably line the pockets of a random politician. And drugs pours in everyday. It's everywhere. I don't know what would change things. But all I know is as long as I didn't want to change I wasn't. A nice fancy rehab wouldn't have changed it. Shit I would spend all my money on drugs and decided to sleep in a dangerous filthy floor if it ment getting high. There is tons of things that can be worked on but most people even in these facilities are just using it as a break from being on the streets. Take a shower have heating or cooling. Or court appointed. U got to want to get clean. Don't matter if they have these amazing people volunteering their spare time to talk and pray with u. Do t matter if your kids get taken. Don't matter what your family begs of you. Don't matter if it's life or death. Don't matter if your facing jail time don't matter if the rehab has nice mattresses. If you don't want to make change change will not come. It's a messed up situation. Cuz most people didn't see themselves being an addict. I've seen doctors and some people who have it all. Even when they get out. People who lost it all successful people not successful people all end up really alone having to make a choice. Rock bottom it either it be, Dirty floor or brand new carpet.
@kristin4840 I have a relative who has also been in horrible to okay rehabs and like the other guy said its on the person no matter where. They have to hit bottom and see it for themselves and who knows when that will happen.. also, did you know that in Mexico the parents can send their son no matter how old to rehab. They pay the rehab and a policeman to go pick up the addict wherever they are and they take them by force. The parents have to sign for their sin to be released. Thats totally different from here that would be considered kidnaping. Maybe thats why we have so many addict homeless here..
I know this situation personally! THEY HAVE TO REALLY WANT TO DO IT! They own their own destiny . I learned the hard way. You can put them 2, 3 times a year. If they do not really want it, deep down inside, it does not work!
bro.. these addicts reponses are some of the best I have seen. I have watched totally sober people that cant even give half an articulated answer like these addicts did. I was impressed.
I was an addict for 15 years. Spent the last 5 years on the streets. No one is going to save them. They have to do it themselves. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped.
@@danieldenton5721 if I ever ran for a gov position that had oversight on this I would create a program where the police would arrest these people and put them in jail for 3 months; Not to punish them but to get them away from the drugs and make them detox. The time spend in jail wouldn’t be put in their record it would just be they can’t leave for 90 days and after 90 days they can freely leave.
As a former long-time IV heroin/cocaine user who has been off of that for over a decade, I have to say (and I mean no offense in stating it this way, I'm sure you don't have anything but good intentions), but, this kind of attitude IMHO is why this problem keeps getting worse. There's nothing that can be done by anyone which is going to make the situation better for these folks, other than them deciding for themselves that they want to/have to, get clean and stay clean. It's why you can't force people to go into rehab...I mean, yeah technically you *can* force them but it will be a waste of everyone's time and money.
Mad respect to the young brother in the beginning for trying to speak justifiably and recognizing not to speak on things he's unfamiliar with. Good to hear from the community. Thanks for having done this, Nate.
So sad to see so many clearly intelligent younger people so heavily stuck in addiction,we need to help them with their trauma not demonise them for their current circumstances.
if a girl gets drunk and taken advantage against her will you think its right to have a baby she doesn't want nor would want in that situation? make it make sense.
I was born and raised in Philly and my family used to go to Kensington Avenue to shop and such. I moved away to the west coast 36 years ago and my goodness has that area changed back there. It’s sad 😔
I think you right because if kamala win eeuu will be like inferno and the rest of the world Christian like me we gonna safer because they gonna came after us GOD and HOLY MOTHER have MERCY on us AMEN
Nate, you are so gifted at talking with people of all kinds and showing respect to those are are seldom respected! God bless you! Keep it up! You are teaching us so much!
He's literally holding a pack of syringes in his hand...all of these people need help, they need to help themselves. BTW, being an addict has absolutely nothing to do with being intelligent, in fact, it's been proven that people with higher IQs are more likely to become addicted to drugs like opioids.
IF YOU ARE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA, NEW JERSEY, AND NEW YORK PLEASE REGISTER AND VOTE REPUBLICAN LETS ALL UNITE AND FLIP THE BLUE STATES RED. REGISTER REPUBLICAN RIGHT NOW AND LET'S MAKE POLITICAL HISTORY NOT SEEN SINCE 1984
This will only be my third presidential election I have the opportunity to partake in. I turned 18 in 2016 and the only candidate I've ever voted for is trump LOL. Straight outta Jersey my whole life. This will continue to be the case until 2028 😏

as a woman and when it comes to having a baby even if it's a child of rape, we should not take matters into our hands and kill the baby....honestly, how many of us, who are not children of rape, have absent fathers, can say that we wish we were dead because we had a messed up childhood or an absent parent etc...we are not God to take lives.
The girls talking abput having to carry the rapists baby is total bull! There is the morning after pill and if one gets raped and they go to the emergecy room, they will be given the emergency contraceptive pill. And if you don't want to go to ER, you can get it from the pharmacy. I don't even think you need a prescription now.
@@dplkrtdss9805 how so? Why does she need a script when she is talking? I mean if you want millions of illegals, prices to go up, billions going to other peoples wars then she is certainly more capable of achieving those. One thing I do like about her is she use to love sending black people to prison for weed to be used as prison slave labor when she was a prosecutor, that was good.
@@BrianGreene-rn9uz she uses a script cause she doesn't want to ramble incoherently about whales and sharks and wind mills causing cancer . You trump supporters clap your hands like obedient puppets but normal people who aren't weirdos won't like to listen to someone ramble .
@@BrianGreene-rn9uz and it's funny you talk about her being a prosecutor, on one hand you MAGA say she is tough on crime then you say she's a San Francisco liberal. Make your mind up , you kind sound like flip floppers. It's not very convincing
I can honestly say until seeing your interviews I discounted the people on the streets of Kensington. These people are more informed than most people I know
I am surprised how smart and well-informed some of these addicts are. Many seem smarter than the people that aren't addicts that asked who they are voting for and why.
Please help those beautiful people to register to vote. Regardless of who they'll be voting for, show them kindness and what the American party is really about.
Very well said in the end Nate! I was amazed myself at how well some answered your questions. It’s a shame that they’re in this situation. It would be nice to see them all cleaned up & off the streets. 😔
Right what’s the point they are not even registered. Should ask if people are registered and he doesn’t question about the importance since they are in a swing state
I know this is a life they chose but it’s so sad seeing some who have potential that perhaps were never given a chance. Prayers to them. Maybe one day they’ll find their way.
12:24 This guy (Mike) is smart, intelligent, and wise. Why is he there? He can talk better than the majority of people you meet in fancy areas. This guy deserves instruction and a job.
I remember when Kensington use to be a bunch of drunks. Like the movie Barfly . That was about 40 years ago. My mother in law was born , bred there and died there. Was a little scary going to visit her there then . Today? All are drug zombies , but a handful of people not able to leave because of money. 90% of these people aren't even going to vote period. Nice to hear their opinions though, TY
Kensington used to be pretty bad even 15-20 years ago when I had been there at the time, but it was nothing like this. Back then the drug that everyone was doing was H and it wasn't being used out in the open like this with people walking around like zombies with horrible oozing sores and flesh infections...this is entirely due to the fact that the DEA cracked down on prescription opioids and doctors prescribing ability, which then got people to move to using H and then the cartels realized they could replace the H with much cheaper fent. Now it's not even fent most of the time it's crazy research chemicals like nitazenes and benzos and xylazine cuts. IMHO the only reasonable thing that can possibly have some positive impact on the drug problem would be to legalize and regulate all drugs, and focus towards treating this as a mental health/public health crisis.
Dude#1 was great. He is effed up, but you can see and hear that is thought process on things he can control are balanced and concise. Great idea for a video 👏
I hope Trump watches this. 🙏🏻The ones who say they are voting for Trump are smart and can articulate why. God bless these people. Hang in there, help is coming when Trump gets in office! ❤️

They pay the rehab and a policeman to go pick up the addict wherever they are and they take them by force. The parents have to sign for their sin to be released. Thats totally different from here that would be considered kidnaping. Maybe thats why we have so many addict homeless here..
I know this situation personally!
THEY HAVE TO REALLY WANT TO DO IT! They own their own destiny . I learned the hard way. You can put them 2, 3 times a year. If they do not really want it, deep down inside, it does not work!
many of these people are very well spoken. its so sad that they could be leading happier , more productive lives if they could just get off the drugs
Yes and there is definitely enough help if they want it!!!
Trump 2024
bro.. these addicts reponses are some of the best I have seen. I have watched totally sober people that cant even give half an articulated answer like these addicts did. I was impressed.
These people need someone to save them from themselves.
I was an addict for 15 years. Spent the last 5 years on the streets. No one is going to save them. They have to do it themselves. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped.
@@danieldenton5721 if I ever ran for a gov position that had oversight on this I would create a program where the police would arrest these people and put them in jail for 3 months; Not to punish them but to get them away from the drugs and make them detox. The time spend in jail wouldn’t be put in their record it would just be they can’t leave for 90 days and after 90 days they can freely leave.
As a former long-time IV heroin/cocaine user who has been off of that for over a decade, I have to say (and I mean no offense in stating it this way, I'm sure you don't have anything but good intentions), but, this kind of attitude IMHO is why this problem keeps getting worse. There's nothing that can be done by anyone which is going to make the situation better for these folks, other than them deciding for themselves that they want to/have to, get clean and stay clean. It's why you can't force people to go into rehab...I mean, yeah technically you *can* force them but it will be a waste of everyone's time and money.
@@dieselbaby no offense taken just trying to figure out a way to save people who don’t understand they’re destroying themselves.
God can help them
Some of these people are better informed than a lot of college students.
Bc they actually loved and seen what happening in front of their eyes. These college students just eat up propaganda
Mad respect to the young brother in the beginning for trying to speak justifiably and recognizing not to speak on things he's unfamiliar with. Good to hear from the community. Thanks for having done this, Nate.
So sad to see so many clearly intelligent younger people so heavily stuck in addiction,we need to help them with their trauma not demonise them for their current circumstances.
Informed drug addicts gotta love it
These people are more articulate and informed than college students I've seen interviewed.
@@lynnw7155 Because they know a bit about life and not brainwashed via said colleges.
To take the life of the unborn is truly heartbreaking. It’s not right.
Amen🙏🏻✝️Thank you stating that! Jesus bless our children and the USA🇺🇸✊
if a girl gets drunk and taken advantage against her will you think its right to have a baby she doesn't want nor would want in that situation? make it make sense.
@@kiyanwest149 Trump has made it clear that he believes in the exceptions for life of the mother, incest and rape.
@@kiyanwest149Most girls are already on birth control and there’s the morning after pill. Don’t drink if you think you’re going to get rape.
@@kiyanwest149 Adoption. There is really no justification for murder. killing a child because the parent did something wrong is a mafia tactic.
All of them were high yet incredibly knowledgeable and well spoken.
Hunter was MIA
If you have a brain,--it’s forever!!!!
Thanks for in-depth look at this segment of our society! (a LOT of intelligent people interviewed - God save them!!)
Mike at 10:15 is a sharp thinker. Brilliant, man. Just brilliant.
Remember, this is a “democratic stronghold.” Imagine small towns
I may not agree with everyones choice but they are a hella lot more articulate and well informed than the harvard grad interviews i saw
Such a great video. I watched this whole thing and I’m going to show it to my 18 yr old son. So many smart and informed people.
19:30 “I know that he recently has had issues in court but he’s a great candidate and has done a lot for the United States” is what he said
Please like this comment as there was a render error with my Spanish translation!

I was born and raised in Philly and my family used to go to Kensington Avenue to shop and such. I moved away to the west coast 36 years ago and my goodness has that area changed back there. It’s sad 😔
The first guy was approximately one trillion times more logical than 100% of democrats I have ever heard speak.
the arguments of the democrats. Kamala is a woman, Trump is a racist. Thats it :D
Trump is the reason why we can live
Absolutely
What do you mean? trumps awful response to Covid ended up causing millions of deaths.
I think you right because if kamala win eeuu will be like inferno and the rest of the world Christian like me we gonna safer because they gonna came after us GOD and HOLY MOTHER have MERCY on us AMEN
Trump 2024❤❤❤❤
Trump is great n all but he is NOT the reason we can live lmao GOD N JESUS ARE WHY WE CAN LIVE 💯
Nate, you are amazing! Interviewing these lost souls ! Very brave and interresting
What in hell, Lord please heal this land. I like this format , godspeed.
Amen
Nate, you are so gifted at talking with people of all kinds and showing respect to those are are seldom respected! God bless you! Keep it up! You are teaching us so much!
The first young man is not an addict. God bless him.
I thought the same thing, that dude is a smart man and he needs some help
He's literally holding a pack of syringes in his hand...all of these people need help, they need to help themselves. BTW, being an addict has absolutely nothing to do with being intelligent, in fact, it's been proven that people with higher IQs are more likely to become addicted to drugs like opioids.
Unfortunately you are wrong. You can tell that he is an addict by his mannerisms and the way he is spaced out. May God help all of the addicts.
@@ivi122 He’s v articulate. I think he is challenged physically. Thats just my 10c. Ive never known a drug addict. What would i know.
@@sheireland3737 he is definitely an addict. I’ve seen addicts around my state begging for money on the side of the road and I can tell.
Amazingly most of these people are more articulate as to the situation than lefty sober voters. More informed for sure!
Horrible, heartbreaking what substance abuse does to people. These are intelligent well spoken people who have lost everything.
Please who needs a woman in the office, specially if that woman is not smart 😊 like Kamala
Amen🙏🏻
Exactly.
I really like the black guy on minute 11. I wish all the best for him, God bless him and all of them really.
They giving all the illegal immigrants your hope Geno.
Mike,and first guy with striped shirt, are so smart! They need to use their skills to help their community. Help is on the way - hang in there 🙏🏼
IF YOU ARE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA, NEW JERSEY, AND NEW YORK PLEASE REGISTER AND VOTE REPUBLICAN LETS ALL UNITE AND FLIP THE BLUE STATES RED. REGISTER REPUBLICAN RIGHT NOW AND LET'S MAKE POLITICAL HISTORY NOT SEEN SINCE 1984
👏👏👏
This will only be my third presidential election I have the opportunity to partake in. I turned 18 in 2016 and the only candidate I've ever voted for is trump LOL. Straight outta Jersey my whole life. This will continue to be the case until 2028 😏
@@irockgame1 God bless you, living in New Jersey we have to register a lot of people to vote Republican I don't care if they are black, Hispanic, white, Asian we have to unite together and vote for policies that can help and even improve our future. Republican is the way to go. We must register in record numbers because I want to flip the state red for the first time since 1984. Even looks like President Joe Biden is endorsing Trump.

@@Cosette336 Aerosmith. I like it.
Great video.thanks for going to the trenches and getting these peeps opinions!
Go Nate, less than 60 days!
It's Too funny. They actually think Harris is Black!
Trump has never taken away the right to an abortion
He purposely chose Supreme Court justices that would do that for him and bragged about it.
@@Cosette336good
Love these people - real, and open hearted. God be with them all
Trump here because Kamalas word salad is out of control.
trumps the only one who talks in circles.. ask him about childcare legislation. Smh all you Trumpers are dum and delusional
You gonna let harris toss your salad?
as a woman and when it comes to having a baby even if it's a child of rape, we should not take matters into our hands and kill the baby....honestly, how many of us, who are not children of rape, have absent fathers, can say that we wish we were dead because we had a messed up childhood or an absent parent etc...we are not God to take lives.
The third guy certainly doesn’t know his correct facts…
This was so enlightening on so many levels. These ppl were incredibly informed. Thx for your work, Nate.
Chef's Kiss 💋 Nate, you are doing great work. Going to contribute to your Patreon
Thank you!!!
The girls talking abput having to carry the rapists baby is total bull! There is the morning after pill and if one gets raped and they go to the emergecy room, they will be given the emergency contraceptive pill. And if you don't want to go to ER, you can get it from the pharmacy. I don't even think you need a prescription now.
Plan B is still capable of preventing implantation, which is an abortion.
Kamala has values and Morals?!!!🤣🤡🤣🤡🤣 Ask Mrs Willie Brown about Kamala and her morals.
You are risking your life
Thank you Nate Friedman. Very good vlog.... More power to you and continue updating on any news.😊
We need a woman in the office. Not just any woman. We need a woman with a brain. Harris? No!!!
Thats anti feminist. Voting for someone because of their sex is what we accused men of doing. Harris is clearly not the best candidate.
Harris is more capable than trump
@@dplkrtdss9805 how so? Why does she need a script when she is talking? I mean if you want millions of illegals, prices to go up, billions going to other peoples wars then she is certainly more capable of achieving those. One thing I do like about her is she use to love sending black people to prison for weed to be used as prison slave labor when she was a prosecutor, that was good.
@@BrianGreene-rn9uz she uses a script cause she doesn't want to ramble incoherently about whales and sharks and wind mills causing cancer . You trump supporters clap your hands like obedient puppets but normal people who aren't weirdos won't like to listen to someone ramble .
@@BrianGreene-rn9uz and it's funny you talk about her being a prosecutor, on one hand you MAGA say she is tough on crime then you say she's a San Francisco liberal. Make your mind up , you kind sound like flip floppers. It's not very convincing
My heart breaks for these people. The first young man is absolutely brilliant. God bless them.
Homeless and drug issues are on local government. The federal government has no power to force a policy on liberal state or city.
They control funding and distribution of such funds, so you are incorrect.
Im so glad you go on the street and ask the PEOPLE ❤
Interesting ... thanks for polling these folks!
I can honestly say until seeing your interviews I discounted the people on the streets of Kensington. These people are more informed than most people I know
That guy talking about addicts harming themselves makes some amazing points
I am surprised how smart and well-informed some of these addicts are. Many seem smarter than the people that aren't addicts that asked who they are voting for and why.
Please help those beautiful people to register to vote. Regardless of who they'll be voting for, show them kindness and what the American party is really about.
Not all of them are allowed to vote. Depending on if they have any criminal records.
@@CarieSaad I think in Pennsylvania they are allowed. In most battleground states it's like the wild west.
Very well said in the end Nate! I was amazed myself at how well some answered your questions. It’s a shame that they’re in this situation. It would be nice to see them all cleaned up & off the streets. 😔
This is nice but none of these people are headed to the poll booths, let’s be real.
Right what’s the point they are not even registered. Should ask if people are registered and he doesn’t question about the importance since they are in a swing state
I really appreciate this guys 1:50 perspective. Love the faith that he expressed.
First of all she is misinformed he said with the exception of rape and it’s incest and it be harmful to the mother. 🤦🏾♀️
I know this is a life they chose but it’s so sad seeing some who have potential that perhaps were never given a chance. Prayers to them. Maybe one day they’ll find their way.
Trump didn’t have fluctuating gas prices. The gas prices started out high and went lower under Trump until JB stepped in and now it’s up and down.
12:24 This guy (Mike) is smart, intelligent, and wise. Why is he there? He can talk better than the majority of people you meet in fancy areas. This guy deserves instruction and a job.
I remember when Kensington use to be a bunch of drunks. Like the movie Barfly . That was about 40 years ago. My mother in law was born , bred there and died there. Was a little scary going to visit her there then . Today? All are drug zombies , but a handful of people not able to leave because of money. 90% of these people aren't even going to vote period. Nice to hear their opinions though, TY
Kensington used to be pretty bad even 15-20 years ago when I had been there at the time, but it was nothing like this. Back then the drug that everyone was doing was H and it wasn't being used out in the open like this with people walking around like zombies with horrible oozing sores and flesh infections...this is entirely due to the fact that the DEA cracked down on prescription opioids and doctors prescribing ability, which then got people to move to using H and then the cartels realized they could replace the H with much cheaper fent. Now it's not even fent most of the time it's crazy research chemicals like nitazenes and benzos and xylazine cuts. IMHO the only reasonable thing that can possibly have some positive impact on the drug problem would be to legalize and regulate all drugs, and focus towards treating this as a mental health/public health crisis.
Dude#1 was great. He is effed up, but you can see and hear that is thought process on things he can control are balanced and concise. Great idea for a video 👏
If the vote is showing splits in Philly then it’s a big win for Trump in PA as a whole
Imagine if Trump was never elected president in 2016? We'd be in a much worse situation today.
I hope Trump watches this. 🙏🏻The ones who say they are voting for Trump are smart and can articulate why. God bless these people. Hang in there, help is coming when Trump gets in office! ❤️
I wish they’d vote. Most said they won’t. Maybe someone can organize and get them to the polls if registered.
This is journalism we need
Asian American in California and we’re voting for Trump!
