Over 100,000 people in the United States died from drug overdoses and poisonings last year. Of those deaths, around 70% were from synthetic opioids, such as Fentanyl. In 2021, Texas law enforcement seized around 342 million lethal doses of fentanyl, enough to kill every man, woman and child in the United States. Samantha Aschieris of The Daily Signal argues that responsible actors, like China, need to be held accountable for their malicious relationship with Mexican drug cartels. The Biden administration's seemingly open border policies have only exacerbated the flow of these deadly narcoastics into the U.S.

Russia has threatened to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. How serious are those threats? Is the United States prepared to respond in the face of a nuclear attack? And what role do China and North Korea play in the discussion of nuclear war? “We’ve been hearing threat after threat, nuclear threat after nuclear threat against Ukraine,” Patty-Jane Geller, a Heritage Foundation senior policy analyst in nuclear deterrence and missile defense, says. “Is the threat likely? Probably not. I don’t see how using a nuclear weapon against Ukraine would really help [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and help his war aims. The Ukrainians aren’t going to surrender. But that doesn’t mean that the chances that he’ll use a nuclear weapon are zero, either,” she says. Geller joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain the true threat of Russia’s nuclear arsenal, and why North Korea is testing its missile capabilities.
