You are so naive. The man does nothing but hate i the USA, and lives there. Since he has protected freedom of speach, he says what he likes. The question was about fetanyl. He talks about other issues to get round to attacking the white, republicans. People take drugs because they are great cheap fun, specially for certain personally types. Chomsky cannot say that though with his leftist mindset. Treatment is available for some who want it. There are ways to make enough cheap guns anyway, so the cartels can get them. It goes on and on. There are so many guns in the USA, and that was the case years and years ago. A multimillionaire group pays 100 buck for a gun, or a ten times that it little to no difference. Pot wasused by some undesirable blacks, but also by lots of others too. It is illogical to make this point. Pot was seen as a gateway to harder drugs, but it so happened that pot was used by black free thinkers, so what? i give up. Treatment should be readily available of course. Chomsky would naively give more money to help homeless drug users. The drug user then buys more drugs...When the outcome was obvious, then Chomsky, would then start about who to blame for it. Circular reasoning.

Professor Chomsky is a bright light in an ever darker world.

Old (94!), but lucid and wonderfully well spoken. He both knows the history and follows current developments. Hard to believe. He's an inspiration.

Because, even when he admitted he doesn't like doing it and would much rather spend his energy within academia, has continued being politically outspoken? * Amazingly, in 1957 Chomsky wrote one 30 page article that laid to rest the BF Skinner's Behaviorist tradition within psychology that had existed since the 1930s

It has def spiralled into far more complex issues but the heart of the issue always seemed to me to be more economic. There is little opportunity for upward mobility in Mexico and drugs provide a quick way to make money. On the US side, the issue is similar - the rampant drug use can be attributed to the sense of despair and there's also the issue of how big pharma hooked millions on overprescribed legal opiates. A lot fentanyl is coming from China as well, which can't be overlooked.

The same with crime in general. I just lately talked with an ex-convict that had some major offenses and spent 5 years in prison. he said it was really "nice". with courses, even professional education, inside prison. and it's pretty safe in there.

Guns are built into the fabric of US society and culture. The guns aren’t the issue. The lack of community, mental health services and total disregard for human life Is the issue. I’m a single mom with two children (one in high school, one in college). I do fear for them. But my fear is nothing compared to inner city parents who have to worry about their babies catching a stray bullet sleeping in bed. It’s a CULTURE issue, not a poverty issue. 99% of legal gun owners do not commit crimes. And there’s tens of billions of us. As far as the drugs go, my thinking is much more going towards the harm reduction model because what’s being done now isn’t working. Decriminalizing drug use isn’t compassionate. It removes that only interventions most people will ever get that might force them to get sober. We are losing a generation of talent to drugs. If we’re not going to arrest them, we need to keep them alive long enough to get clean. Leaving them in the streets to commit crimes, poop on the streets and eventually die is cruel in the extreme, not only to them but everyone around them. And since the police can’t or won’t protect us, we’re forced to do it ourselves.

@Fifigoesforth many governments are already paying under universal health insurance coverage and the marginal cost would probably be minimal. The savings from so-called war against drugs would pay for it many times over. But the politicians all over the world would lose a very generous and endless source of income😡

Drugs should be harshly banned and all users either put in jail or in rehab. If you relapse, straight to jail and no rehab option. The nicer the US has gotten about drugs the worse the problem has gotten. If you want less of something, you ban it. You guys are so happy to ban guns and be strict about it but with drugs we have to take this magical new approach of NOT banning them

The Problem with fumigetting crops Is that it just opens the door for the synthetic drugs which are a hundred times Worse

the problem is illegal drugs from dealers, make it legal in controlled areas

If politicians were to pay a little attention to Professor Chomsky. Nope! He is pushed aside as an outsider. It’s a shame to see the sorry state of the public discourse in the USA!

Indeed

I think that both supply and demand are to blame for this terrible problem. It is true that huge demand in the US drives production in Mexico, but at the same time, a poor American kid that's offered drugs for the first time is innocent in the middle of this nonsense. I agree that prevention and values are key in both countries, in all countries for that matter to curb this problem. Huge weapons supply is certainly not helping

What the hell does this old man know? What has he changed in this world in his life that any other human hasnt? Never ceases to amaze me how people seek out a intellectual and think that they have the answers any more than a savant.

Ask him about his relationship with epstein next time

Its too bad we are so dysfunctional as a society that we ignore Mr. Chomsky. He speaks in a way that is rational and true. He never resorts to waste of time hyperbole. I admire his consistency and his transition into modern day topics although truth be told we have had these problems for decades. I hope to meet him one day. Tiene mucho sentido lo que dice el viejo desgraciadamente los cabezillas de nuestro pais odian el sentido comun.

Attack the demands ... Demands = Supplies.

Chomsky is the President the United States deserved but didn’t have!

"Educate the children and then you won't have to punish the men". Pythagoras

every street substance is mixed up to cause effect, often with much cheaper chemicals that may be toxic or carcinogenic or immediately fatal in themselves

If you want to stop the drug problem. Make it ALL legal! Sooner or later, ya gotta let it be survival of the fittest! As far as the "fentynal" problem, and the overdoses. You've gotta ask yourself: "If you are a CEO of a company, do you want to kill off your clientele? NOT IN AMERICA!😂

Agree with Santa

He’s definitely out touch with the real world. I heard he was once a bright young man.

0:21 Just for the record; I'm stoned on fentanyl right now. It costs less than coffee in my city - in Canada. I have tried to stop every week. I'm on methadone so I am "cheating" and don't undergo physical withdrawal. 3:25 I am not side-stepping my own responsibility for using, but he's absolutely right in everything he is saying. 4:56 Take it from me - I've been in the middle of the drug war since I was 15. It's not always as draconian here in 🇨🇦 but it's still a war on human behaviour.

Wouldn’t it be remarkable if his theories actually did anything?

A drug crisis in the US is an understatement!

Wow . Eyebrow raising truth.

Us Mexican-Americans. We have to be truly exceptional people to get the same opportunities in business or academia or media as people of other races or backgrounds in America. We receive so much discrimination and hate, it creates so much internalized anger. lack of encouragement to assimilate or denied participation in the American Dream. Theres a certain level of joy when it comes to income from the sell of drugs to the people that take advantage of your people in so many ways everday. A certain sense of joy when a person dies from the sell of your drug. Its a revenge thats twice as sweet. You are killing the offspring of the people that brought you and your people generational suffering.

Hey Jeffrey

I blame all this on America’s drug war , as long as there’s prohibition more dangerous easy to smuggle drugs will emerge. We didn’t have half the problem with heroin as we do the sythectic easily to smuggle drug as fentanyl. We created this and as long as we don’t let people do to their own bodies as they will more dangerous things like this will emerge. Only thing the drug war has achieved is mass incarceration which is class war and more dangerous alternatives

The guns used by mexican cartel is weaponry not even the mexican army have access to. Fast and furious was an operation to smuggle guns into mexico by CIA to track the movement of such guns. As they did in afganistan by training and providing weapons they did in mexico.

There is something people don't understand about fentanyl. Let's imagine that the demand for opiates in the USA stayed the same. You can look at the total KG of heroin smuggling necessary to supply that demand. Each kilogram of heroin might supply a few thousand doses; whereas a KG of fentanyl supplies over a million doses. Think about that for a second. It means that for everything to remain the same; we would have to become a hundredfold more effective at stopping smuggling. The cartels could fail to smuggle the fentanyl 99% of the time and that 1% that makes it through would still be enough to supply a million users. Think about that. Even if we could stop 99% of the crossings; it still would not be enough to stop fentanyl. It's simply too potent. We must legalize and provide support for our addicted citizens; otherwise, we will continue to fuel the flames of this drug war at the expense of quality of life for millions of people throughout the Americas.

A psychotic person can not be bribed.

I've come to the conclusion that a drug problem is universal. They have too many drug users in every corner of the globe. The US, China, Middle East, Africa. There is no solving it.

noam at age 94 is the most intelligent (as recognised in the english language, there are probably many others who speak different languages) person alive today

I was hoping the Mr. Chomsky would also bring up trade policy. I'm no expert, but it seems that trade agreements like NAFTA have destroyed a lot of traditional livelihoods south of the US border, driving people there to produce and sell drugs to make a living.
