So Today in Sacramento and the continuing 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: problem of fentanyl. They claim that nearly five hundred Californians 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: die every month from fentanyl. Five hundred. The Assembly Public 25 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: Safety Committee in Sacramento is not going to hold hearings 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: to consider any legislation aimed at addressing the problem. We've 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: talked about this several times before, most famously Alexandra's Law, 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: which has been pushed by a man who lost his daughter. 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: She thought she was getting a painkiller and opioid and 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 3: it was laced with fentanyl and she died of an overdose. 31 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 3: This media event today included parents of parents who lost 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: their kids to fentanyl, and also a number of state 33 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 3: legislators who were there to try to bring attention to 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: this because pretty soon it's going to be one of 35 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: the last days that the Public Safety Committee will meet 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: before nearly all fentanyl legislation will be stalled. In the 37 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: process of bills, I just mentioned one of them, Alexandra's Law. 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: We're going to talk now to a couple of people 39 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 3: who were involved in today's event. We have a state 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: assemblyman by the name of Joe Patterson, a Republican from Rockland, 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 3: and we have a mother who lost her seventeen year 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: old son to fentanyl. Her name is Laura, Let's get 43 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: him on the air and talk about all this. 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,679 Speaker 1: Laura, Laura Didier, Welcome to John and Ken Show. 45 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 4: Hi, thanks for welcoming me on today. 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: And Assemblyman Joe Patterson welcome as well. 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 5: Thanks for having me. 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: Laura. 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: You can start by talking about Zach. 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's truly a tragic story. My son, Zach was 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: only seventeen. He was a high school senior at one 52 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 4: of our high schools in Rockland, doing amazing. He was 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 4: a straight student. He loved school. He was an athlete 54 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 4: on the track team and played soccer. He was finishing 55 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: his eagle right in scouting. And he loved music and 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 4: taught himself how to play piano, and he was in 57 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: the orchestra. And he was a friend to everyone, everybody's cheerleader. 58 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: Everybody just adored him. And he had no history with substances. 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: He was just doing great. But it was COVID when 60 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: I lost him. He was locked down as all this, 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: all kids were, so maybe there were some boredom involved. 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 4: It was a brand new, you know, decision to try 63 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 4: something that was marketed to him as a percocet tell 64 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 4: and one one peal ended his life overnight in his bedroom, 65 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: and we were blindsided, absolutely blindsided. Never had heard of 66 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 4: this crisis, never had heard of counterfeit pills and ventanel. 67 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: And unfortunately, my my ex husband and I, who remained 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 4: very good friends and co parents, we were fortunately on 69 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: the same page about being public with sech story, just 70 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 4: to warn our community because it was clear and none 71 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 4: of the ex friends were aware of this danger either 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: when when we lost him, so just trying to be 73 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 4: awareness advocates. 74 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: It was one pill that he thought was percoset and 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: instead there was phentoel in it. One bill and it 76 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: killed him. 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 4: Correct, and there was no purposet in it at all. 78 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 4: These pills are completely counterfeit but stamped and made to 79 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: look like the real thing. And we're just seeing people 80 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: every day. 81 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: Did he do this to get these who social media? 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: How did he get this pill? 83 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: He did connect with someone that was operating and marketing 84 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 4: these pills on Snapchat with the apps. 85 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: All right, Well, that brings us to Assemblymen Joe Patterson 86 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: and Joe you know what we hear is that the 87 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: Public Safety Committee will not entertain any bills that could 88 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: result in new laws that send people to prison or 89 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 3: extend prisent time none of that. They just don't want 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: any of that. Is that your take? 91 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 5: That's actually exactly what they are doing and what they 92 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 5: openly say, you know, out loud. It's not as secret, 93 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 5: you know. I think by the way Laura and Zac 94 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 5: lived in my neighborhood, they're the only reason why I 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 5: even knew what Beatanohl was at the time. But it's 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 5: become such a big thing, and what Laura is doing 97 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 5: and educating people on it is one of the ways 98 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 5: that we can stop reducing or start reducing Fennyl deaths. 99 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 5: But the other one is we have to hold people accountable. 100 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 5: And you know, metaphor was given to me one time, 101 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 5: and that's you know why this is different from the 102 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 5: war on drugs, And that's what people the Public Safety 103 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 5: Committee like to say, Hey, we can't go back to 104 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 5: the time of war on drugs, but this is different. 105 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 5: This is a poison. Imagine a minor, for example, going 106 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 5: to do some things that some miners do, and they 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 5: go buy let's say some alcohol, some whiskey, and they're 108 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 5: buying this brown liquid from somebody, from a friend or 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 5: some random person. They have a drink and they end 110 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 5: up dead. Well maybe it could have been cyanide colored brown. 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 5: And that's what's happening with these kids, is there's going 112 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 5: to buy what they say experimenting with a pharmaceutical and 113 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 5: they're getting the cyanide instead of the whiskey, and it's 114 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 5: killing the kids. And all parents need to know about this. 115 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 5: But unfortunately the Public Safety Committee they don't want to 116 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 5: hold these individuals accountable. And it's really too bad. 117 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: So this is what I'm struggling here. 118 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 2: Everybody can have a catchy slogan like, well, we don't 119 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 2: want to go back to the war on drug. You 120 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: clearly have a lot of teenagers dying, clearly, and it's 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: clearly being sold and pushed by evil psychos. Right they're 122 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 2: selling fake purpose it. They know it's fake purpose it 123 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: by now everybody knows there's a lot of random fentinyl 124 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: in this. Are they comfortable with all the teenagers dying 125 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: or do they just not address that? They just run 126 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: away from even discussing this. Honestly, it's five hundred Californians 127 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 2: are dying every month, five hundred Californians. I don't know 128 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: who else to turn to, but the legislature to try 129 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: to put some restraints in and some enforcement in to 130 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: stop this. 131 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 5: I mean, it's gotten so bad. Alexander's Law, which by 132 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 5: the way, I authored the same exact legislation this year. 133 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 5: All it did was provide a warning to people that say, hey, 134 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 5: if you continue doing this and somebody dies, you could 135 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 5: be charged with murder. And this is very similar to 136 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 5: a d d UI legislation that former assemblymen and now 137 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: DA at Lawrence County carried years ago on DUIs. It's 138 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 5: the same thing. We already do it in California, but 139 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 5: we can't do it with bent. 140 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: All right, But why are they comfortable with all the 141 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: teenagers dying, all these tragic stories like what happened to 142 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: Laura's son. 143 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 5: Well, you're asking me to just buy something that doesn't 144 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 5: make sense, you know. 145 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: Well they must talk about, don't they talk about that. 146 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: There was even a Democrat bill that was presented, supposedly 147 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: a bipartisan bill dealing with the fentanyl dealers that failed too. 148 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I have Democrats. This is bipartisan. My 149 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 5: mom's Democrats. Democrats in the legislature come up to me 150 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 5: every single day and want to support legislation like this. 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 5: This is not you know, I don't think this is 152 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: the feeling of Democrats in general. This is uh. 153 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 3: But it's just the public safety Democrats that are blocking all. 154 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 5: This this this committee. And you know what's interesting is uh. 155 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 5: You know, every single legislator represents the same number of people, 156 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 5: five hundred thousand people. And I don't think you know, 157 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 5: it's not the governor, it's it's one committee or one 158 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 5: individual that's made this decision. I represent the same number 159 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 5: of people. And look, we're not we're not looking to 160 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 5: go after the people who are, you know, using drugs 161 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 5: between each other, not that I condone that at all. 162 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 5: I mean, they need help too, right, I'm trying to 163 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 5: go after the people that are selling like unfortunately to 164 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 5: Zach on Snapchat. They know what they're doing. There's evidence 165 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: of this. They know what they're doing, and they continue 166 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 5: to do it anyways, knowing the risk, and we cannot 167 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 5: hold them accountable. And I'll have to say one worth 168 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 5: on that this is going to sound crazy because it's 169 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: getting into this country from the border and that's the 170 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 5: problem in the first place. But the truth is the 171 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 5: federal government because our laws are so weak in California. 172 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 5: If you don't have a good DA in your county, 173 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 5: the federal government is the only body that is prosecuting 174 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 5: these cases, and they're only getting after murdering somebody eight 175 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 5: or nine years now. There have been cases where it's 176 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 5: been seventeen. I think's Zach's murderer got seventeen years, but 177 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 5: in California's early release, unfortunately, it's probably going to be 178 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 5: out in eight years. 179 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: Laura, what do you make of all this? 180 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, because now you're living this nightmare and you've been 181 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 2: getting politically involved, what do you see as the as 182 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: the cause for all this resistance to something that obviously 183 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: needs to be addressed. 184 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: Well, it's a very dissarten thing to me. My censtory 185 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 4: has been in the news quite a bit, so I 186 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: will have people reach out to me newly brief parents 187 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 4: reach out to me and share their stories. You know, 188 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: someone recently lost their child right before this past holiday season, 189 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 4: and it's very disheartening to see that even bipartisan legislation 190 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: cannot get any traction, cannot get movements. I agree with 191 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: with Assemblyman Patterson that there needs to be accountability. I 192 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 4: have chosen to throw my energy and time into warning kids. 193 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: I'm working with our local District Attorney's office on assemblies. 194 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 4: We've hit almost all the high schools in my county. 195 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 4: I will be at my friends in middle school tomorrow 196 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 4: with our assembly team.
