even pretending to enforce it. So that's part of their pushback. They're not going to enforce fentanyl.

Okay so what do you do? Well here's some things that the Republicans are doing. Governor Abbott in Texas signed an executive order declaring the cartels a terrorist organization which I understand allows them to treat every fentanyl overdose as murder. Now the practical implications of that are not much, right? I don't, because just because the cartels are accused of murder and maybe some, maybe the dealer locally is accused of murder it might help and my help is way better than nothing. And it signals some maybe a change in thinking. And I think he's also encouraging the federal government to do the same but they won't because it's Biden. At the same time I heard, but I'll need a confirmation on this, that there were 18 attorney generals in different states that want to classify fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. That one in particular is it Wyoming? Montana? I forget which. One is Iowa. There's one state that's serious about it. All right. So now we've got the cartels being designated terrorist organizations and we've got attorney generals wanting to classify fentanyl as weapons of mass destruction. Where did those ideas come from? Anybody recognize any of those ideas? It was Missouri. Yeah I have my stay strong there so just ignore my states. Right. So then Matt Gaetz came out and said directly he suggests bombing the cartels. And they said seriously? Seriously bombing the cartel? Now so now it's actually out in the open.

So I've told you before what it is that I can do that makes a difference. Here's one thing I can do that makes a difference. If there's an idea that's too far I can float it and see what happens. When I first said we need to bomb the cartels that sounded pretty extreme didn't it? First time you ever heard it it's like whoa a crazy guy. We're not going there. That'd be crazy, right? First time you heard it. And then I keep saying it and then you start thinking well people are not pushing back as hard as I would think. And then a politician can say it and they don't get pushed back either. So I think it widened what we can talk about and that was an important first step. Widened what we can talk about.

Now how do we actually make a difference with the cartels? Here's what I would do. Number one I would give the cartels a date certain to get out of the fentanyl business. Only if you said on a certain date you have to stop doing everything illegal of course they wouldn't do anything differently, right? The cartels aren't going to make any change just because we complained. But suppose you said okay cartels the drugs you're sending are a big problem but the fentanyl you're sending is a weapon of mass destruction and we're gonna just pave your entire operation. We're going to turn it into dust. And you've got until this date to get out of just that business. Just the fentanyl. If you're still selling cocaine and heroin we're still going to try to kill you for it but we're not going to do it militarily. We'll do it the old-fashioned way. But so there's a line in the sand. If on this date you're selling one pill of fentanyl we're just going to pave your whole operation. You're all dead and nothing's going to stop us. And just see if that creates a situation where they would be willing to negotiate.

Part two, direct negotiations with the head of the cartels. I don't know if we've ever tried that before. Do you? Direct negotiation. And the direct negotiation should say this. If you don't stop fentanyl today we're killing you and it doesn't matter what it costs or how long it t
