President Trump has cut off the flow of trafficking down at the southern border. And just of fentanyl, we've seen a decrease of 56% percent drop in fentanyl coming into this country. The vault that we've toured today holds 188,218 pounds of seized illicit drugs. That inventory includes over 100,000 pounds of meth, 59,000 pounds of cocaine, and 7,400 pounds of fentanyl. In other words, that vault holds more than 1.67 billion lethal doses of narcotics of fentanyl and cocaine. (26:44–26:54)
