Rick Harrison wants politicians to be held accountable for the Fentanyl crisis gripping the nation.

For Harrison, the issue is personal as the “Pawn Stars” personality lost his son Adam after he died of a Fentanyl overdose last month, according to Fox News.

In particular, Harrison called the border policy “insane.”

“There’s so many different places you have to start at, all at once, but one of the major ones is get the damn stuff out of the country and stop making it so cheap to get high,” Harrison said.

Harrison said a Fentanyl pill can be bought for as little as $5.

“Anybody can afford it. I mean, make it difficult,” Harrison said.

“Let’s start arresting the people selling it, arresting the people bringing it over the border, close down the border, make it really expensive. Let’s make a Fentanyl death rare.”

He blamed politicians for letting it happen.

“They’re not doing anything about it. So they’re complicit in all these deaths.”

Harrison said he found the current border policy “absolutely ridiculous.”

“Nothing is getting done about it,” Harrison said. “It’s the equivalent of a 737 loaded with passengers crashing every single day. That’s how many people die from it. And, you know, the politicians don’t want to talk about it. The news doesn’t want to talk about it.”

Harrison, 58, praised former President Donald Trump, who he met after his son’s death. Harrison said politicians were “complicit” in the Fentanyl deaths.

“He’s an incredible individual,” Harrison said of Trump. “He wants to do something about this.”

Adam Harrison, 39, was found dead on Jan. 19 at a guesthouse in the Las Vegas area, according to an incident report obtained by the New York Post. He was last seen Jan. 17, according to the outlet.

Police reportedly found “two vials of a redacted substance next to the mattress,” in addition to “foil with an unknown pill, lighters and narcotic paraphernalia straws,” according to the Post.

Harrison told Fox News Digital that the investigation into Adam’s death is ongoing.

“I think any drug dealer that sells Fentanyl, I mean, they should get at least manslaughter charges,” the reality star added. “Just selling the stuff should be attempted murder. I mean, it’s that bad and nothing’s being done about it.”

One thing that can be done is shutting down the borders.

“I want the border shut down,” he said. “The states with the ridiculous laws where it’s no bail, you know, no criminal punishment for selling drugs and everything. If you sell Fentanyl, heroin, anything like that — I mean, your first offense, you should get 10 years and not get out a year later for all the government B.S.”

“You should be afraid to do it,” Harrison added. ‘There’s no deterrent to it now.”

Harrison said his son had battled drug addiction for years and he suspected his son had died from a drug overdose when he first learned of Adam’s death.

“I had a good idea that that’s probably what it was,” Harrison said. “He’s had his problems for years and the last six months was a really bad downward spiral.”

“I’ve been dealing with this with him since he was, like, 20-years-old,” he said. “It was a tough week. I mean, if I wasn’t screaming at a wall, I was, like, crying my eyes out.”
