same level of seriousness right and left actually do care about this in two distinct different ways but there is i think some form of consensus that could possibly be reached if we treated it with the same level of seriousness but a lot of elites just don't want to have that conversation yeah you know this was one of the things that was a real draw for trump in NUMBER_TOKEN. chris christie do you remember that yes just speech about uh what i think was a daughter or something that had a problem with heroin use it was a big it was a big moment it was a big conversation in the NUMBER_TOKEN election hillary clinton also talked about it um because new hampshire was extraordinarily hard-hit i mean that's part of why i grabbed the national news attention because new hampshire obviously a key early primary state in all of that key swing state in the general election the numbers are so much worse now than they were in NUMBER_TOKEN. and it's just fallen off the national radar um and so i do think it's like why do why are some deaths treated with more seriousness and care than other deaths and there is a lot of like moral judgment like another example of this is um there's a lot less money and funding for research for lung cancer because it's seen as like oh well it was because of smoke it's your fault right so there's like a contempt towards it and i think that there's a similar dynamic here and people because it's a hard problem people have just sort of stopped talking about it and stopped focusing on it but for the the families that are effective that you know have lost loved ones which there are so many in this country now it's absolutely devastating and people deserve a lot better so we're not going to let it fall off of our radar so to speak and continue to bring you the updates but so far they've been very grim that's right hey guys thanks so much for watching that's right just as a reminder you can become a premium subscriber today watch the full show completely uncut our reactions to each other's monologues you get to listen to it you get to ask us questions all that good stuff link is right there in the description or at URL_TOKEN best of all great way to say screw you to the mainstream media
