Show Notes

In this episode, newly confirmed U.S. Drug Czar Sara Carter joins Lisa to discuss America’s escalating fight against fentanyl, cartel violence, and the global drug trade.

Carter shares behind-the-scenes insight into her confirmation process and her current role leading the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Trump. She details a coordinated “whole-of-government” strategy aimed at cutting off drug supply chains, dismantling cartel networks, and saving American lives.

The conversation dives deep into the takedown of cartel leader El Mencho, revealing how U.S. and Mexican forces collaborated on one of the most significant operations against organized crime in recent years—and what it signals moving forward.

Carter also breaks down:

  • How fentanyl is entering the U.S. through borders, ports, and mail systems

  • The role of China in supplying precursor chemicals

  • Why cartel networks are becoming more sophisticated and dangerous

  • The connection between drug trafficking, national security, and terrorism

  • The reported drop in fentanyl flow and overdose deaths

  • How the administration is targeting both supply AND demand

She also delivers a passionate message about unity, urging Americans to come together across political lines to combat addiction and protect future generations.
