Congressman Andy Biggs (R), representing Arizona's 5th District, and candidate for governor, calls-in to the Seth Leibsohn Show with special guest Sara Carter, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), for a discussion on the Trump Administration’s strategy in combatting the illegal drug epidemic in this country. The conversation delves into the alarming increase in overdose deaths in Arizona, which stands in stark contrast to the national trend of declining overdose deaths. Biggs and Carter discuss the importance of addressing the root causes of this issue, including the lack of attention from the Biden Administration and the need for a whole-of-government approach. They also highlight the significance of prevention and education in reducing the demand for illicit substances. Producer David Doll discusses hearing about illegal drug use during the time he was in college. Seth compares the drug overdose deaths in 1994 versus the current 2026 statistics.
