Summary

The government is lying to us about the nature, timing, and cause of the drug overdose crisis.  In this long and in-depth interview with Dr. John Lilly, we prove through incontrovertible data that this is not a prescription opioid crisis, but an illicit drug crisis driven by open borders. The political class solution of drug monitoring programs and clamping down on prescriptions is needlessly putting people in pain and exacerbating the problems. What the government is doing on opioids is the equivalent of responding to a raging forest fire set by an arsonist by banning stoves in individual law-abiding homes and putting all "problem-solving" resources into people’s homes rather than in the forest battling the fire.  Dr. John Lilly is a family physician with Mercy Clinic, formerly St. John’s, in Springfield, Missouri. He is the president of the Locke and Smith Foundation, a constitutionalist, pro-liberty group that monitors the Missouri state legislature. This is the next big issue in Congress, and the very people who caused and then exacerbated the problem are trying to make it worse by practicing medicine from Washington, wasting billions in taxpayer dollars, and limiting your freedoms and privacy.

And welcome back to the Conservative Conscience here at the Westwood One Podcast Network on Wednesday, April 4th.

0:38.0

When April appears to be like March, the winds are howling 50 miles an hour outside my home.

0:45.0

So if we do get cut off, I will have to repeat this podcast once again, even though I've already had to repeat this podcast due to our technical problems here.

0:55.0

Yes, I am still stuck behind the times, non-understanding, how to use a Mac, one of my seven-year-old knows that he used it better than me, but I fixed our technical problems.

1:04.0

So last week, when we meant to have Dr. John Lilly on our program to discuss the government's misdiagnosis of the opioid crisis,

1:13.0

which is really in a listed drug overdose crisis, prompted by open borders.

1:19.0

We did have to redo the podcast, we're thankful that we're going to have them on today, but before we bring them on,

1:25.0

just wanted to kind of set the table here from our discussion earlier this week about immigration and what the president can do unilaterally to secure the border.

1:36.0

We have a two-part piece, at least two parts, maybe three parts coming out, on how the president is not bound to just allow in anyone and grant the Masylum or Refugee Status to the so-called

1:48.0

unaccompanied alien children, the UACs, and how he has inherent article two presidential constitutional powers to protect our sovereignty even without statute.

2:01.0

So this notion that he has to wait for Congress is nonsense, and while this caravan heading our way from Central America looks like it's disbanding, that was always a political stunt.

2:13.0

This is broadly what happens every day anyway, but you don't hear about it without a political stunt.

2:19.0

And this is what is clearly, and now it's clear as day, if you see our four-part series, which we're going to link to in our show notes, our four-part series, on how the UACs caused this crisis.

2:33.0

You know, since we spoke last about this, data just came out from ICE, noting that 21% of all the gang members that have been swept up in the recent task force by the Trump administration to, you know, apprehend MS-13 gangsters, 21% of them were UACs that came in circa 2013, 2014, 2015, which prompted this incident.
