Combating the Fentanyl poisonings Act. We've got families in here who have lost their loved ones right here. And this poison of fentanyl is coming across our border. 75,000 deaths a year in the country as a result of fentanyl poisonings. This is very sensitive. I met with a lot of families. I'm very sensitive about the issue that these are poison. Kids don't know that they're taking necessarily fentanyl. (33:53–34:00)
