“…3,400 kilos of fentanyl since you’ve been here, your last hundred days, which saved, are you ready for this, media? two hundred and fifty eight million lives.”

Sadly, Bondi's math is wrong (though it's unspecified where she got her implication). According to the DEA website https://www.dea.gov/resources/facts-about-fentanyl, 1 kilo of fentanyl has the potential to kill 500,000 people. That means 3,400 kilos can kill 1,700 million people. That's 5 times the total population of the U.S.

Of course, it's idiotic to suppose that just because a given amount of fentanyl COULD kill X number of people, doesn't mean that all those people were actually saved by removing that fentanyl!
