we start with one of the biggest threats facing our nation, the fentanyl crisis. it s a fox news alert. fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine. an opioid 100 times more potent than heroin. there are millions of these dangerous fake pills out there and they are killing thousands of americans. the lethal drug expected to kill 80,000 americans this year alone. for context, that would mean more americans killed by fentanyl in a single year than killed in the entire vietnam war. john: all stemming from cracks in the southern border, a breeding ground for drug cartels. exactly what the house homeland security committee will talk about in a hearing moments from now. sandra: social media plays a huge role in the cartels marketing. teens are buying the drugs online often not knowing that they are laced with the fentanyl. and sometimes the drug is even disguised as rainbow colored candy. the epidemic is hitting neighbors, friends, families, ju
