1/15/26 11AM: Who Pays the Price? Politics, Protest, and Addiction

from The Truth with Sherwin Hughes · host Sherwin Hughes

Hour 3 begins with Sherwin comparing different shows and hosts, sharing a personal story about realizing how many people knew Dr. Ken during a past event. Lisa calls in to contribute to the conversation. The discussion then turns to the origins of the term “crack babies,” with Al chiming in as expected. Sherwin revisits the opioid crisis versus the crack epidemic, emphasizing that the comparison falls short because the opioid crisis is still ongoing. He points to the Sackler family’s role in fueling the epidemic and notes that they have yet to fully pay the price for the damage done. The show concludes with the drug discussion wrapped up and final sign-off remarks.
