On March 7, Budd joined several fellow Republicans in introducing the Save Americans from the Fentanyl Emergency (SAFE) Act, which would permanently schedule all fentanyl-related substances as Schedule 1 drugs.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cA lot of these drugs that are produced in China and sold through Mexico that come to the us, they aren\u2019t actually fentanyl, but they\u2019re similar drugs\u2026 \u201d he said. \u201c\u2026They aren\u2019t on the Schedule 1 of these tough horrendous drugs, and so the SAFE Act takes those drugs and puts them on Schedule 1, which gives law enforcement the tools they need to hold these people in prison and in jail until they can get their justice and prison time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Budd\u2019s office <a href=\"https:\/\/budd.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1397\">noted<\/a> that fentanyl overdoses were the main cause of deaths for people ages 18-45 from 2020 to 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Senate candidate Rep.
