Washington, like the entire country, has been hit hard by fentanyl. So far this year, King County has recorded more than 650 overdose deaths involving the synthetic opioid, which can be 50 times stronger than heroin. 650 is a devastating number but it’s actually down from a peak in 2023, when more than 1,000 people died from fentanyl-related overdoses in the county. The drop mirrors a downward trend that we’ve seen across the entire country… But the crisis is still overwhelming many communities. A biotech company called ARMR Sciences is hoping to solve at least one piece of this very complicated puzzle: Instead of reversing these overdoses, they want to stop them from happening in the first place... through a fentanyl vaccine. GUESTS: Dr. Colin Haile, a research associate professor at the University of Houston and he’s also one of the co-founders of ARMR Sciences.

X: @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy featuring a special salute to our veterans with Tyler Kinch, a rising country artist and U.S. Air Force veteran. Listen to Tyler's single "Frontlines," a special exclusive on America's Roundtable. Tyler has had the honor of sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Justin Moore, Lee Greenwood, Nate Smith, Lonestar, Randy Houser, Collin Raye, Mike Ryan, Tanner Usrey, Matt Stell, Chris Janson, and many more. A few weeks ago, Tyler took the stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, where Secretary of War Pete Hegseth received an award by the Nestpoint Foundation. On the eve of Veterans Day we also focus on the concerns for those who served on the frontlines with a call to our fellow Americans to get involved in providing help and hope to those experiencing challenges. According to data in by the US Census of Bureau, there were an estimated 15.8 million military veterans in the U.S. as of late 2023. According to the VA's most recent National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report (2024), an average of 17.6 veterans die by suicide every single day. Although this figure is widely accepted, the real number may be even higher by "self-injury mortality," often through overdoses. In May 2025, the Trump administration highlighted the need to honor veterans, stating that the federal government “should treat veterans like the heroes they are.” As part of this commitment, the Trump administration signed an executive order to combat veteran homelessness by establishing the National Center for Warrior Independence, aiming to house 6,000 veterans by 2028. About Tyler Kinch: After serving in the military, Tyler swapped his combat boots for cowboy boots and took to the stage with a passion for country storytelling. For over a decade, he's lit up honky-tonks and festivals across the South, building a loyal following one heartfelt lyric at a time. In June of 2024, Arkansas Country Music honored Tyler as Entertainer of the Year, for the second year in a row. This award reflects not only his artistry but the impact he's made on the country music scene. He's had the honor of sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Justin Moore, Nate Smith, Lonestar, Randy Houser, Collin Raye, Mike Ryan, Tanner Usrey, Matt Stell, Chris Janson, Lee Greenwood, and many more. Known for his high-energy shows and heartfelt performances, Tyler Kinch continues to win over fans and country radio alike. His patriotic single “Frontlines” was featured on national television during a special Veterans Day segment on Fox & Friends, earning praise for its authenticity and emotional punch. With his single “Dancing with a Cowboy” released on early this year, followed by a full EP this past summer, Tyler is stepping into a breakout moment. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

Opioid misuse and overdoses are a serious public health crisis across Washington state and nationwide. From 2019 to 2021, the annual number of opioid drug overdose deaths in the state nearly doubled. About 55 people in America die each day from an overdose of prescribed or illicit opioids, including fentanyl and heroin.It's crucial to get real information and education on opioid use to communities. Washington State University faculty and staff, including assistant professor Nicole Rodin at the College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, have teamed up with colleagues across Washington to get accurate and useful facts out to people and try to prevent overdoses. They've focused on rural communities hit hard by opioid use, often with limited medical facilities and support.Rodin talks with Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark about the scope of the opioid epidemic, effective education, reducing stigma, and how we can all lend our support.There's a need to treat substance use disorders as health care, Rodin says. “It is a disorder. It is a medical condition, and we have yet to treat it that way as a society.”Read more about WSU efforts on curbing substance use and addiction in the Spring 2024 issue of Washington State Magazine.Other resources:Rural Opioid Technical Assistance Collaborative (Northwest Region 10)Opioid Overdose Prevention, Recognition, and Response (Washington State Department of Health)How to talk about substance use (Washington State Magazine, Spring 2024)WSU PEAR—Program of Excellence in Addictions ResearchWSU APPL—Analytics and PsychoPharmacology LaboratorySupport the show______________________________________________________________________________Want more great WSU stories?

Discover how law enforcement actions in Indianapolis (a city very similar to Lexington) rather than reducing drug use, inadvertently lead to increased overdose rates. Through engaging discussion, learn about the unintended consequences of disrupting drug supplies, the complexities of addiction, and why current drug policies might need reevaluation. Dr. Elswick explains the necessity for pragmatic approaches and potential solutions, providing listeners with a deep understanding of this critical issue affecting our communities.

This episode is a ree-air from my recent appearance on The Shawn Rivers Podcast, titled “He Lived Through Six Overdoses to Tell His Story of Sobriety.” But this wasn't just another interview about my past. Yes — we touched on my journey through addiction and the chaos I survived. But it was the questions Shawn asked after that part of the story that really hit me. They weren't the usual surface-level ones. They were the kind that made me pause and think… deeply. About sobriety, yes — but also about leadership, growth, my approach to fitness, and what it really means to live at the next level. This episode will hit home for anyone who's ever battled their demons… But it's also for the high-performers who want more — more peace, more purpose, and more alignment in their life. You'll walk away with: New insights on the real cost of chasing the wrong things How to stop performing for the world and start living for yourself And why living in integrity is the highest form of personal power Tune in.
