What action could you take to stop the flow of fentanyl into Iowa? Yeah. First of all, I want to say a huge thanks to our law enforcement, who helped seize that on Interstate 35. There were enough fentanyl pills in there to kill everyone in the Des Moines metro area. But this isn't new. This is a challenge that's been ongoing for the past three years, and we've only seen a surge in this epidemic. (15:54–16:00)

CLAIM

Asserts the quantity of fentanyl seized was sufficient to be lethal to the Des Moines metro population.
