The numbers are shifting — but the danger is far from over.

The numbers are shifting — but the danger is far from over.


The CDC just released its January 2026 report confirming that 79,384 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2024 — a 26% drop from the prior year. That sounds like good news. But buried in those numbers is a sobering truth: 47,735 of those deaths still involved fentanyl — more than 130 people every single day. And the DEA reports that as of March 2026, over 1.28 million pills have already been seized this year alone.

Progress is real. But it is fragile — and it won’t hold unless families know the truth.

That’s why I’d like to introduce you to Anne Fundner — former TV host, creator of the American Mom podcast, and an Angel Mom who lost her son to fentanyl. Anne has appeared on NewsNation, and she is one of the most compelling, clear-eyed voices in America on this crisis.

What Anne brings to your audience:

A mother’s firsthand account of how one counterfeit pill — indistinguishable from a real prescription — took her son’s life

A breakdown of how dealers are still reaching teenagers through apps, disappearing chats, and coded language — right now, today

The real story behind the declining death numbers: what’s working, what’s still broken, and what every parent needs to do before it’s too late

Insight into the Trump administration’s fentanyl enforcement push and the Great American Recovery Initiative

The stat your viewers need to hear:

The DEA has found that 5 out of 10 fentanyl-laced fake pills contain a potentially lethal dose. One pill. One mistake. No second chances.

Anne does not lecture. She speaks as a mother — with urgency, clarity, and love. She is available immediately for live or pre-taped segments, remote or in-studio (NYC possible), and can tailor her message for news, talk, faith-based, or parent-focused programming.

Let’s get this in front of your audience before another family goes through what Anne’s did.
