Summary

Cities across the country have been battling against the presence of fentanyl in their communities, with law enforcement in New York City recently discovering a cache of nearly 300,000 rainbow-colored fentanyl pills. The synthetic opioid has long been a target of the Drug Enforcement Administration, given how much fentanyl has driven overdose deaths in the United States over the past few years. Fox News Correspondent at Large and host of upcoming Fox Nation special, 'The Doping of America' Geraldo Rivera joins to break down why the threat of fentanyl must be addressed in a new way, and he discusses President Biden's plan to pardon people federally convicted for simple marijuana possession. Due to time limitations, we could not include all of the interview in our original segment. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire interview with Geraldo Rivera.
