Drug Historian Challenges Trump’s War on Fentanyl

Season 2025 Episode 8040 | 18m 24s

While America pursues a drug war with Venezuela marked by lethal strikes on boats accused of carrying so-called "narco terrorists" (a move which has faced much criticism over its legality), at home the country continues to face a fentanyl issue which is killing thousands of people every year. Drug historian David Herzberg joins the show to discuss why Trump's approach to the crisis is flawed.
