President Donald Trump is expected to declare a national state of emergency for opioids this week. Sanho Tree of the Institute for Policy Studies joins host Lindsay Beyerstein to discuss the latest news on the overdose epidemic, including a blockbuster Washington Post story that led Trump’s pick to head the Drug Enforcement Agency to withdraw his name from consideration. The episode also delves into the root causes of opioid abuse—from under-regulation of drug distribution companies to social disintegration—as well as the alarming new “drug war” developments in the Philippines.
