Inside With Jen Psaki

i'm proud of the president and the job he has done. i know it doesn't surprise you. i really believe that. that's what he did. i think it calmed everybody's nerves, i said to my friends, we can get into debates around any, i would rather have the age rather than 80 criminal counts. i feel very good about joe biden's prost text. >> thank you to governor gavin newsom . the house passed a massive foreign aid bill, no thanks to marjorie taylor green. later, i talk with john legend, singer and activist. we are back after a quick break. break. ng catalyst for bold. what straps bold to a rocket and hurtles it into space? boring does. boring makes vacations happen, early retirements possible, and startups start up. because it's smart, dependable, and steady.

stuff in moderation — that's the key for it to be safer. but there is no way you're ever going to stop a country from doing drugs at all, ever. rian did a stint in rehab but relapsed not long after. he was living in a shared house and, in april 2023, was found dead in his bathroom at the age of 26. they found him in his shower with the water still running. he'd been there potentially three days. there was five bags of ketamine in his room. two were empty. he had pulmonary oedema and cerebral oedema. so, basically, his breathing slowed down so much that he just, you know, just died. i couldn't even see him because the condition of him was — he was unviewable, you know?

all through the night, i get messages. active till liam, active till 5am. and people arejust serving all the time. it is literally everywhere you go. both beth and jay are in their 20s and have been using ketamine for quite a few years after first trying it as teenagers. yeah, the first time i ever had a line of ketamine was at a free party. yeah, same. a little shindig happening out in a barn somewhere. i was 14 years old and somebody had some in the classroom and i had a little bit in the back of the classroom — that was the first time i had it. and then from then, it was in the party — party scene from about the age of 17. so, yeah... can you remember what it was like the first time you tried it? not really, no. no, i was out of this world. i remember being in a house once and i had some k and i completely forgot who i was and who i was with and it was really scary. but then, you get used to that feeling and you sort of break a barrier almost and it becomes not scary any more and it becomes quite a therapeutic drug.

HARDtalk

yes. yeah, i tried to. and then, i got into acting because i was... a friend of mine, me and a friend, we used to dance, and we were in a club, and some guy came up and asked us to be extras in a movie. and i spent a day on a film set, and then, i suddenly realised that i wanted to be an actor. it hadn't kind of occurred to me before. did you, to a certain extent, have to defy your own back... i mean, particularly your own family. your dad, i know, was quite a difficult man. yes, yes. and i think, at one point, you said, when you brought a book home which you obviously wanted to read, he just picked it up and chucked it away and said, "none of that, boy." yeah, yeah. and i couldn't stay on and do a—levels and things like that. so, when you said to him — i don't know quite what role your mum played — but when your dad learned that you actually wanted to give up being a printer and try your hand at full—time acting... well, he wasn't really involved in my life much then. by the age of 16, i started working for an east end bookmaker who ran a menswear store, called mr bennett, he was an incredible man. and while i was working for him, he knew i was studying

it does destroy your organs. it does destroy your bladder. we wasn't taught about it in school. i kind of wish in uk schools that they would teach children from a young age that this stuff — you stay away from these kind of chemicals. my hope now is to engage in some support groups. i have support workers now and doing something different, going to the gym, making my life better and that's the steps — the next steps for me. i'm hoping that, you know, i'll get back into work, get back into my career path, and one day being the person that has recovered from this really rubbish journey that i've been on. but the hope is there and it is going to happen. lam determined. i don't want this life for myself any more. you're doing it this time. yeah. no matter how much you think it's taken your life, how much you think you've got nothing left, you can always gain that back, so it's never too late to reach out for help.
