Traffic (2000): Rich People Gathering

The clip rich people gathering from Traffic (2000)

I would say one thing to you,Judge,
and that's you're never gonna solve this problem on the supply side.
As long as that demand is out there in our cities,
Mexico bashing is not gonna do a damn thing for you.
We in the legal drug business
Merck and Pfizer and the rest of my very important clients-
realize that we're not fighting a war here with a traditional winner and loser.
I don't know that you can win this war.
Everybody says we want to declare war on drugs,
but if 25% of high school seniors are using drugs-
If you reduce that to 10, that's a great improvement.
Right.
I'll congratulate you. That would be a phenomenal achievement,
but you'd still have 10% habitually using drugs.
Can I get a scotch and soda, please?
The price of coke and heroin has dropped,
but purity has increased.
All this law enforcement has really achieved is that kids get better stuff cheaper.
Education, rehabilitation, prevention-
that's not significant to these reporters.
Mm-hmm.
They want to see people in prison.
They want to see the gory aspect of the drug problem.
Thank you so much for sharing your point of view.
I look forward to working with you in the future.
Well, call me.
I have a good bill on treatment-on-demand. I could use your help.
Wonderful. Look forward to it. Thanks, Senator.
Okay. Great.
If a judge or a politician is willing to put a reefer in their mouth,
I'll do a story on it.
Right.
Stand up and be independent.
Right.
I don't care who's president. I don't care who the members of congress are.
I don't care who you have to deal with.
If you're independent and you use that bully pulpit right, that's where your power is.
It's the stick of law enforcement that creates...
the carrot of huge profit that is economic truth.
Addicts don't vote.
