Patel, a former national security official under Trump and the first Indian-American to lead the FBI, framed the fentanyl epidemic not as a policing issue, but as a global, coordinated attack on American infrastructure—social, generational, and institutional. With over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2024, and fentanyl now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45, Patel argued that this is no longer about addiction. “You don’t hear about fentanyl deaths in China, India, or England,” he told Rogan. “That’s not an accident.”
