About this episode
Fentanyl has become the leading killer of Americans aged 18-45 and kills more people a year than Americans died in the entire Vietnam War. The issue has come to the forefront of politics as President Trump signed an executive order designating drug cartels as terrorist organizations, allowing the US government to take harsher action against the crime syndicates. A new documentary titled Fentanyl: Death Incorporated shines a light on the dark reality of the drug crisis. The producer of the documentary and executive director of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, Dr. Robert Marbut, and actor and narrator of the documentary, Billy Baldwin, join the Rundown to discuss what they saw on the streets of America as they shot the documentary, what changes should be made to rehabilitation services in the country, and what could be done about weeding out the sources of the drug. President Trump addressed Congress in a joint session earlier this week, his first one since returning to office. Democrats were not thrilled to be there, walking out, protesting, and even holding up little signs as he spoke. Despite the hoopla, the president finished the week by delivering on his campaign promise to dismantle the Department of Education. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins to react to the address, explain the legal fight between the federal government and sanctuary cities, and so much more.
