00:00You have to understand the war on drugs has never been about drugs.

00:12America's public enemy number one is drug abuse.

00:15What will you do when someone offers you drugs?

00:25We intend to end the drug menace

00:27and to eliminate this dark evil enemy within.

00:30Put him away. Put him away where they come off.

00:32Three strikes and you are out.

00:34Somebody down the road said drugs are bad.

00:36Okay, there's no argument there.

00:38But think about where we are 30 years later.

00:43I do what I have to do. I know how to survive.

00:45Yeah, I got some weed too.

00:46Don't let her run.

00:50The war against drugs is heating up.

00:52I think they should have wrote prison guard on my forehead when I was born

00:54because it just fits me.

00:58I say he's a criminal. They didn't go to prison.

01:00I have a life in 30 U.S. Senate.

01:0220 years for drug trafficking.

01:03I have a life without parole for three ounces of methamphetamine.

01:06Of the 2,600 people I've sent to federal prison,

01:09I've seen three or four kingpins who are incarcerated.

01:12Poor people who are drug addicts.

01:14You're watching poor, uneducated people be fed into a machine like meat to make sausage.

01:19Law enforcement agencies get rewarded in cash for the sheer numbers of drug arrests.

01:27My money's ours now.

01:28That's my money now.

01:32The scale is unbelievable.

01:33Nobody gels their population at the rate that we do.

01:36All sorts of people get a financial interest.

01:38Taser gun manufacturers, healthcare providers, phone companies.

01:42You build a bed, they fill the bed.

01:43And you'll get rich, and we'll get rich, and we'll all be rich together.

01:46We are engaged in a great experiment.

01:54What happens when you take large numbers of people,

01:57remove them from their neighborhoods, their families?

01:59What y'all getting them for?

02:01What does this do to the broader community?

02:03The drug war is a holocaust in slow motion.

02:11This is a war on all Americans.

02:13I think people keep saying, well, that's about them.

02:15Well, no, it's about you.
