From the transcript
Under federal law, we have a 20-year mandatory minimum sentence if you are convicted of distributing drugs that result in the overdose or overdose death of someone. And so we are aggressively bringing these kind of cases in my office. Whether it's overdoses or overdoses that result in death, to address those narcotics trafficking problems. And we often hear that even when we report it, nothing is happening. But I'm telling you, you need to report it and report it and so that we build that history.
