Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up.
Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.
On this Friday, let's take a look at drug abuse in America,
which is driving all the crime we are seeing throughout this nation.
First, the number of users.
It is estimated by the FBI that about 10 million people use pot on a regular basis.
4 million use methamphetamines.
6 million use opioids.
Some are prescribed, others bought illegally.
The FBI says 1 million Americans are addicted to heroin.
1 million addicted to cocaine.
Added all up, that's 25 million Americans addicted to some kind of narcotic.
And now there's a new scourge.
Fentanyl is killing thousands.
The impact on society is staggering.
25% of all incarcerated criminals say they committed their crimes while high.
47% say they are serving time for drug-related charges.
The state of Oregon gave up.
It decriminalized hard narcotics, and it's been a disaster.
Oregon now has the worst substance abuse problem in America, 12%.
of Oregonians are addicted. 12%. Drugs are hurting this country badly. Let's be honest and admit that
and find some kind of solution. But the politicians look away. Now this. Let's face it,
the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.
And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.
That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.
