Summary

While there appears to be some progress in America’s war on fentanyl, overdose deaths related to the synthetic drug remain alarmingly high, especially among young people. President Trump recently signed the HALT Fentanyl Act, expanding law enforcement’s ability to crack down on traffickers. Gregory Swan lost his son, Drew, to a fentanyl overdose in 2013. Since then, he has co-founded Fentanyl Fathers and devoted his life to raising awareness about the lethal drug. Gregory recently spoke with FOX News Rundown host David Anthony to share his personal story, discuss the HALT Fentanyl Act, and explain how he is working with families to help them avoid the loss he and so many other parents have felt. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with Gregory Swan, allowing you to hear more about how he turned his grief into activism. Learn more about your ad choices.
