Sen. Roger Marshall
At 1:50: President Trump secured the border.
At 2:00: The amount of fentanyl crossing the border has been cut in half.
At 2:12: Cartels are alive and well in Kansas.
Love to see newspeople ask:
If the border is secured, how does 50% of the fentanyl still enter the US?
If the border is secured, how are cartels still alive and well in Kansas?
In the old War on Terror, cartels were not designated as terrorist organizations.
Did the advantage of designating terrorist organizations in Iraq and Afghanistan allow those undeclared wars to be prevented, won or shut down?

“Kansas City-area first responders say they have had to administer multiple doses, and sometimes insert an IV of Narcan, just to give patients a chance until they arrive at an emergency room.”
Alternative Media – Still OK With Asking Questions
Unlike many local newspapers, alternative media is good with asking questions and maintaining open and active comment sections. More than 4,000 comments are posted with the video below.
At 58:00 below, a discussion begins and leads to Seth Harp saying around 59:43 that the US press has failed to ask questions related to the drug war.
Great discussion below Re: detox at 1:26.
At 1:40, Seth Harp explains the drug cartel structure in Mexico and why the USA will not take it out.
The giant and expensive (since 2002) US Dept. of Homeland Security comes up as irrelevant in this discussion.

Keeping Cartels Out
The giant US Dept. of Homeland Security has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in trying to keep cartel product from arriving in the US.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002.
Love to see newspeople ask:
Has any US presidential administration since that time been able to use DHS to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
President Trump has given full support to a Homeland Security mission of keeping cartel product out of the US.
Was Homeland Security ever meant to handle this task?
If so, why would DOD funding for maintenance related to barracks and other facilities be diverted to send US troops to the border?

Please Let Us Know
When will Seattle area drug addicts have any difficulty finding their cartel product of choice.
When will Puget Sound area first responders find any less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations.
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.
We’ll see what the future holds.

Old Drug War – Cartels Respond & Move More Product Into The US
Did General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger ever reduce access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.
