President trump signed an executive order today that is intended to combat this crisis, heroin use has quintupled. Opioid has killed more than 30,000 people in last year. That is more than ten 9 11s in a single year. And four times the deaths in iraq and afghanistan combined. Congressman tim ryan represents ohio, a place that has been devastated by opioid abuse. He says the president order doesnt do enough. Can republicans and democrats come together to do more or are the two parties only agreeing on gridlocked . Thank you for coming on. So, the president says we need to take this seriously. Thats not something you have heard very much from national leaders, why is this bad . Its just not enough. We do not need another commission to make investmentss into this problem. The Surgeon General just had a we just passed a big comprehensive bill on this, we dont need another commission, we know what the problem is. Tucker the problem in large part is pharmacies and places that have interactive maps showing prescriptions for opioid medications. A lot of countries pharmacies are not allowed to prescribe opioids. You have to go to your doctor and a hospital for that, why doesnt Congress Pass a lot tomorrow and i met and that would do a lotthve to solve the problem, wired to be doing i think thats a great idea. You have to do both. You have to do the prevention,o treatment and all of that stuff but yet, there needs to be a massive crackdown on these folks. I for one would be ready, willing and able to do it. Thats what im saying with the president. We do not need a commission, we need the president to say what you just said. Lets get the work. T tucker i am a little confused. You have seen this firsthand. It is rampant in the district you represent. I dont understand how democrats are saying taking away obamacart funding would make this situation worse. This problem has flowered under the seven years of obamacare so far. Whatever that program is doing is clearly not stopping this problem, is it . The trump care provisions were to get rid of the essential benefits package that we puthe into obamacare, the essential benefits package included Mental Health and Substance Abuse coverage. If that goes away, that person in my county in ohio, if they want to get clean and cant afford it or they are medicaid and go to get treatment, they are out of luck. C tucker i am not against treatment, but with opioid addiction, a physical addiction as well as a psychological addiction, the relapse rate is really high. No matter what the program is. Maybe job one would be preventing this from happening in the first place. Purdue pharma is the main producer at the scent of this, so the main producer of the drug at the center of this, oxycontin. One of the richest families in the world owning this. And yet, theyre donors to both parties. The clinton foundation. N. Do i dont hear any politician sending up and saying to them what are you doing profiting from this . Why not . Its not the whole thing. We need to be clearer on the fact that we are prescribing too much. We its just as important to make b sure that we are telling our doctors, training our doctors. Dont see this as the ultimate solution and keep writing these prescriptions. We have a bill to help with the va clinic. On to begin to educate doctorspr about what a big problem this is. Tucker how about punishing a few . There are 100 opioid prescriptions per people. Thats hard to believe, thats the cdc number. Im not sure how they arrived at that. You see it in other places too. Why wouldnt we put them in jail . Thisop is killing more people tn last two wars. Most of it would be state law, those kind of regulations. Crime and punishment comes from the state but i would be all for us sitting down. Lets have hearings about this. We do not need a commission. We need some ideas that we can begin im all for it. Republicans are in charge right now. I would be supportive of Something Like that. M tucker why havent you or anyone else proposed it . For example, how about the penalties for people to allow drugs in their possession to be misused . If i leave a loaded handgun on my front porch, and a child shoots it, i am liable for that. Or youre reading studies that show a huge number of kids who get addicted to heroin start with stealing their parents prescriptions. Why not punish the parents . They may actually have a problem, the parents. They are utilizing the prescription. Thats why a lot of this can be education. We need to focus on education of parents, of kids. He there needs to be a Massive PublicRelations Campaign especially for young kids, not necessarily dealing with the painkillers but having these pill parties. We have to make sure these kids understand just trying this stuff once can get you addicted and kill you. Tucker is there a Single Person who doesnt know that about heroin . Is there a single addict who cares about a Public Relations campaign . Thats a whole different h ball game once you are addicted. Im talking about young kids. Of course a lot of kids do not know. They have no idea tucker they do not know that heroin is addictive. They are in a Little Medicine bottle. These pills. They look like theyre just medicine. Tucker you represent a district that at the height of the crack cocaine epidemic, every lawmaker in washington the death rate was about 2 per 100,000. Its over 10 per hundred thousand for opioids. Its a massive scale and you do not hear anyone talking about the supply problem. Penalties for people who push this crap into communities. Why wouldnt Congress Tomorrow get behind legislation . To get punitive on this, if its that serious . I think theres a place for that. You cant say punishment will be the only issue. Tucker there is no punishment at all. Sa well, there needs to be some. Tucker drug companies, we know their names, they are profiting from this stuff. Pharmacies are too. They are making the most money off those deaths and no one has said well, wait a second, why dont we punish the people profiting from a scourge that is killing thousands of people . We would need regulation. Eo money invested into these things, passing a budget. They cant just be punishments. It has to be prevention. In talking to the kids. Teaching and training doctors not to just prescribe opiates randomly because it solves the quick problem, knowing that at the end they were talking today about taking your pills that youve got in your medicine cabinet and bringing them and disposing of them properly. It took us five years, tucker, to pass comprehensive addiction and recovery act. Five years we have been working on that bill to reauthorizeen programs that were going to be able to help with prevention ana treatment and recovery. It takes a long time to do this stuff. Tucker what is the highest success rate of a Drug Treatment Program that you would like to see the Government Fund . The ideal . Th tucker what is the most effective one . Rehabilitation program for opioid abuse, that gets you off all drugs. What is the success rate . The most effective programs are the longest ones. The longest ones are the most expensive ones. We are going to dry out for seven days you can say that. That does not have nearly the impact. Tucker you are saying we should spend hundreds of millions on this. My question is a simple one. How successful are they . What do you recommend . D . The Long Term Care the best. One. 30 days, 45 days. 60 days. You have to completely break the addiction. Tucker after five years to have a 50 success rate . It all depends on the person. A lot of these times, they go back to the same communities they came from. The communities where they got addicted in the first place, where they are buying the heroin. Theres a lot of problems tucker are you familiar with a program that you would fund as a federal legislature that actually works to get the majority of people off opiates for five years . There are a lot of programs that do longterm care. F they are all kinds of Treatment Centers. What im telling you, of all the Treatment Centers in theey country, the ones that have the highest success rates are the ones that have the extended plans but a lot of those are not covered. Su a lot of people dont have the insurance. They dont have the out of pocket. Ho tucker ive seen a lot of this and i am not aware of any specific program that has over time a consistent success rate over 50 . I would love to hear from anyone who runs them. It will be expensive. H this whole thing is going to be an expensive proposition. Tucker thank you for joining us, congressman. This isnt the last time we addressed the opioid crisis, we will be doing a segment on it. Drugged. How bad is the crisis, how did we get here, who is profiting from it and what can we do about it . It will be eyeopening. Stay tuned for that. Homeland security john kelly just two days after attorney general Jeff Sessions said he would cut off any funds for sanctuary city laws. Wo the mayors used the meeting to insist theyre not doing that and they shouldnt be penalized as a result. We are opposed to any funding being taken away as a punitive measure. This perception has been circulated, questioning whether rockville compliance with federal law. E. Absolutely we do. We work every single day with i. C. E. These threats are holding back funding for cities across america. These are taxpayer dollars. Tucker and many other lawmakers disagree, though. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is pushing its own plan to stamp out sanctuary cities in its own state. O i withdrew 1. 5 million of Governors Office to travis county. That what texas is seeking to do is to make it so punishing that they simply cannot have the sanctuary cities. What that includes a fine that t could end up to 9 million a year. Tucker sanctuary cities already giving the feds plenty of problems in enforcing u. S. Immigration laws. Now ice must actively sabotaging their work, deal with lawmakers who one state representative in massachusetts, Michelle Dubois, used facebook to warn people of an i. C. E. Raid in brockton. Fox news correspondent molly lyons joins us with more on tha that. You are right, she is facing considerable backlash here in the community after putting this posting on facebook, essentially warning undocumented immigrants about a rumored raid that would be taking place by the federalal officials. A democrat from brockton published this post on tuesday. She claimed she got word on this impending raid from someone in the latin community. U. S. And immigrations and customer Customs Enforcement would be in the city on wednesday. She advised that if you are undocumented, do not go out on the street. If theres a knock on the door of your house and you do not know who it is, dont open the door. s and to be careful. She pushed back against any notion that she has taken this too far. Be do you think theres an issue with spreading a rumored it is information in my community. T do you see how this could be seen as fear mongering . No. Why not . I just dont. Local and federal Law Enforcement were quick to denounce this action including the sheriff of bristol county. Known for his very hard line on illegal immigration. Recently testified before congress on capitol hill called for the leaders of sanctuary cities to be arrested. He believes that Michelle Dubois betrayed her constituents. She has chosen constantly to violate her oath and put more interest in protecting illegals, potentially criminals if i. C. E. Were involved in this initiative, over the safety of her citizens she needs to step down. A spokesman for ice release to the statements denying the agency conducts random sweeps or raids writing any person who actively incites panic or fear in Law Enforcement does a disservice to community and the very people they complain to supported represent. Her harshest critics have argued that she may have violated federal Immigration Law and she actually interfered with Law Enforcement and while she has some support within the immigration community, the leader of one of the regions biggest umbrella organizations represents immigrants in the Community Called her actions irresponsible. Tucker you think . Molly line, thank you for joining us tonight. On the matter of representative dubois, she is supposed to enack the law. She actively encourages people to defy and ignore them. That is not just ironic, it is reckless. We live in a society on the expectation that people are going to follow the rules and those who do not are going to be punished. Its not just something thatw superman upholds, its a real concept with meaning. Thats what makes it possible to eat and take medicine withoutng being afraid of being poisoned. At some point, civilization starts to fall apart. Representatives liked. Representative dubois, on behalf of their perverse causes . What if a republican state attorney general announced he did not like federal gun laws and decided to stop prosecuting legislations . What if President Trump unilaterally cut taxes by announcing the irs just wont investigate below a certain level . It might get crazier from there bill ayres and others have long been heroes on the left, lionized. What if a republican governor refused to provide Police Protection for abortion clinics or granted pardons to those who blew them up . In other words, what would happen if republicans started acting like democrats and behaving as if laws do not matter . Ha the country would not last long, that is for sure. Up next, the head of a Christian Group says the department of education is a legally funding a program that teaches islam to kids. He theyll be here next. Bluecollar labor being pushed to the side of this country inin favor of pushing paper the great mike rowe joins us to discuss his efforts in work that pays. G energy is amazing. How we use it is only limited by our imagination. And at Southern Company were building the future of energy, for you. Various shouting heigh ho its off to work we go woman on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs. And each job created by the Energy Industry supports two others in the community. Altogether, the industry supports over 9 million jobs nationwide. These are jobs that natural gas is helping make happen, all while reducing americas emissions. Energy lives here. Tucker the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a state religion in this country, of course that laws used to stop prayers at Football Games and other dangerous expressionss of faith like that but now a Christian Group says it is needed to stop the federal government from promoting the religion of islam. According to the christian action network, the department of education is funding educational materials about islam distributed by pbs. Thinly veiled propaganda. We were told the department does not fund or encourage a particular curriculum. Thats a strictly state and local issue. However at the pbs web site says the classroom lessons are funded by the department of education. We pointed that out to the education department. We are waiting for a response from them. The founder of the christian action network, he joins us now. Explain how you believe the department of education is funding proislamic propaganda. What are they doing exactly . If you go to the pbs learning media web site and pull up the Islamic Education programs, they have the department of education seal on it and it says funded by the department of education. We took a look at the various programs that are available for the Public Schools and we were quite frankly shocked by some of this the lesson plans the students have to achieve in the classroom for instance, teachers are expected to ask their students what does a muslim prayer sound like . What do muslim prayer movements look like . What are some of the things that muslims say when they are praying . You have to ask yourself the question, why does the federal government find it necessary that our kids, grades 512 know what a muslim prayer sounds like . And as a matter of fact, how what with the proper answer to that be . How couldde a teacher grade a student on these type of questions . Students are also given a worksheet and on that worksheet, they have verses from the koran that they have to read and then the student has to get the meaning of those verses. Then they have to explain how those verses are used in the everyday life of a muslim. Can you imagine the outrage thau the students were given scripture from the new testamene and told they have to give the meaning to interpret that new testament scripture and explaint how christians use that scripture in their everyday life . . We know the aclu would be outraged. They would have a lawsuit in their hand and probably break a leg trying to get up those steps. Tucker that would not beba diversity or whatever so maybe that is the short answer for why the success. You touched on my second question, is there comparable instruction on other religions . You can make a case and i thinkd its a fair one that you want kids to understand the great world religions. It is a historical fact that islam has shaped the world and you should know something about it. Is there a similar instruction on other religions . There is no similar Education Program by the d. O. E. For any of the other major religions. But lets take a look at this. Lets say that there was. Should a schoolteacher in her position be grading students on how they interpret the koran or the new testament . How they would interpret the Old Testament . This goes way beyond what a schoolteachers job is about. These are questions that are up to theologians, priests. A pastor. Not a schoolteacher. Students are asked to watch all these videos funded by the department of education. One of the videos showed how to conduct a muslim prayer. How to lay out a prayer rug. Why do children need to do this . This isnt sunday school class, this is what the department ofld education put out for teachers to incorporate in their classroom. Tucker last question. The mark of objective coverage is skepticism. Is there any skepticism and evidence of islam, any criticism of islam as a role in the slave trade or any historical event . , is there critical distance from the topic or is it just presented as something neutral or positive . Definitely presented as positive. When people watch a video of a man that converted from christianity to islam, that is promoting islam. When that same man looks his t children in the eye and says submit yourself to allah because allah is the one true god this is funded by the department of education for school use. This is no longer something that is comparing religions, this is violating the u. S. Constitution. Tucker that is propaganda, for sure. T not surprising. Diversity. A new study estimating thet percentage of live births in each state that are paid for by medicaid. Funding the health care of americans poorest citizens. If you remember a country with a strong selfsufficient middleclass, these are bracing numbers, so prepare yourself. In 24 of the 50 states, half of all births are paid for by medicaid. The five biggest states, california, texas, florida, new york, and illinois. Not something that is just happening in isolated parts of the country. In the state of new mexico, 72 of all births are paid for by medicaid. Its ominous. If children are our future, what does this mean for americas future . Good question. Up next, honest bluecollar labor cannot even catch a break in the game of monopoly. Mike rowe, here to tell us how that game has changed and how it reflects our changing values. Stay tuned.

Hasbro announced that three tokens representing bluecollar labor would be disappearing from monopoly boards. The wheelbarrow, boot, and thimble are out it replaced by a trex, a penguin and a rubber ducky. Mike rowe is the former host of dirty jobs, hes deeply dismayed that honest labor is being denigrated in this country. He is launching a new scholarship for work that is not done in a cubicle. We have lost the thimble in favor of a overdressed avian. In favor of a childs toy, in favor of a dead lizard. These are dark days, tucker. Tucker what is this wheelbarrow instrument you speak of . If i understand it right its got the one we alone at end of barrel, thats all the information i have. Tucker is there a digital component . , yes but it costs extra. Tucker the wheelbarrow app, i recognize that. This is a metaphor you are saying for changing attitudes about work. A im saying more that the tail can wag the dog we can talk about a lot of different ways but fundamentally, its kind of interesting and sometimes instructive to look around and find ways that we either subconsciously or consciously declared war on work or at least the traditional notions of work. This is exactly the kind of thing i dont know how far you want to look into it but clearly icons and tokens and metaphors these are powerful things. In a way, i believe it is fair to say we represent and value things in ways that make sense to our brain. We have a rubber ducky. Tucker taxes working at twice the rate of production. The work ethic scholarships, were saying applicants sign a solemn oath not to become a lazy, self entitled drone who blames others for their troubles and expect to be taken care of. Not everyone is going to be signing this. Is that a barrier people . That is a loose translation of the sweat pledge, skills and work ethic are not taboo. And it is several things you have to agree to for theoo scholarship and the fact that we ask people to make an affirmative case for themselves and a few other things, it makes it very difficult to give away half a Million Dollars which is something we do every year atat the foundation. As part of the reason i wanted to come on your show. The money as they are. For people who want to learn a skill or a job that is actually in demand is something that you should know about. We have talked about it before. 5. 6 million Jobs Available right now. D most of which do not require a fouryear degree and for whatever reason, people are not enthused by their existence. W. We are trying to remedy that. Tucker you made a living listing the people who dont live on the coast. What do we know about the rest of the country . There was this massive fire thousands of square miles of land in kansas and oklahoma went up in flames. I didnt see that covered anywhere. I didnt either except on my Facebook Page were about 20,000 people asked me to please post about it. These are farmers in texas and oklahoma and in parts of colorado, in kansas that have literally spent most of last week shooting their cattle. Cattle that have been maimed in these terrible fires. Its literally the katrina of the high plains. I learned about it from ranchers on my Facebook Page. Coincidently on National Agriculture day. I posted about it. I just posted paul harvey used to do a show but he also had a short essay called god made a farmer. I posted that on the page with a couple paragraphs saying look, these people their backs aree against the wall right now and a do not think the country gets it. That thing was shared 175,000 times. It makes me think. G what arent we connected to . I think the answer once again is a whole lot of stuff in the middle. Tucker yeah. Like a lot of people dying of opioid ods. You have a podcast. Its called the way i heard it. I spent most of last year seeing if anybody cared about short stories written in that paul harvey kind of mystery way. 50 Million People have apparently downloaded or viewed the thing. So, important people have called and said you should do more. So we are doing more at mikerowe. Com podcast. I just shamelessly plug that on your show. M tucker to go up at the end as paul harvey did, with an octave . I do not, i am my own man, tucker. I go down an octave. Tucker [laughs] like bowser. Mike rowe, thank you for all this. It is great to see you. Up next, the Republican Party cannot pass an Obamacare Repeal but they could pass a law giving Internet Companies the power to sell your online history. Is this the end of privacy . Or is it just the status quo . A panel will debate that, coming up. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe crohns disease. I didnt think there was anything else to talk about. But then i realized there was. So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Just checking my free credit score at credit karma. What the . Youre welcome. I just helped you dodge a bullet. But i was just checking my. Shhhhh. Dont you know that checking your credit score lowers it. Just be cool. Actually, checking your credit score with credit karma doesnt affect it at all. Are you sure . Positive. Huh, so i guess i could just check my credit score then. Oh check out credit karma today. Credit karma. Give yourself some credit. Sorry about that. Tucker they say that congress is not doing much but the republicans have just passed and President Trump is expected to sign a bill that repeals regulations that barred Internet Service providers from selling their clients browser history to other companies. People are very upset about this, suggesting that everybodys porn habits will become a habit of public record. It simply reverts to the status quo of last year, it did not go into effect. So did everything really change . Robert mcdowell supporting the move, the center for democracy and technology, appalled by it. They both join us now. First to you, mr. Mcdowell. You couldnt get Obamacare Repealed and the first major thing you do is make it legal for Internet Service providers to sell my browser history . Commercially . How is that on your priority list . What is that . Thats up to congressw but thank you so much for having me on your show. Im talking to you from anchorage, alaska. On our way to that dinner, it does revert back to the old law. You have to keep in mind that the fcc acted in 2016 forhe Internet Service providers. Under something called title to, the Communications Act of 1934. From that time until last october, the world did not end. So there are other laws already on the books for federal and state that regulators and consumer advocates have in their quiver of people, to launch Internet Service providers who a might misbehave but all of the major Internet Service providers have already come out with the standards of conduct. They all have terms of w servic. If they were to violate those terms of service or contracts, there would be massive class action lawsuits. The federal trade commission came out with a joint statementb back on march 1st saying they would vigilantly protect Consumer Privacy in this realm. Theres a lot going on. Its very complex. Tucker i know it is complex. But it does get to some basic human fears about what others are seeing without our knowledge. I think mr. Mcdowell makes a couple interesting points. One, theres pretty effective self policing already in placece and this is the status quo. It never even went into effect so why are we so strung out about this . The result of this action means theres no cop on the beat, referring to Internet Service providers. Which allow companies all the Internet Access into your house. The world were living in todayr its not just your internet surfing habits, your Television Watching habits, your telephone calls, everything that happens on or in the internet world in your home, and the privacy of your own home with her family, kids, your dog. That will be known by one company. Thats a little different than the Internet Companies weve been talking about. We are concerned about your privacy and data being used and misused. Not just all the data being collected, all the decisions that are going to be made about you based on that data. Based on that company on what they share and sell. Limiting what you see online, what information you get, what opportunities for advancement you get in your life. There are some serious repercussions. In tucker here is what bothers me, you do not have a choice for Internet Service providers. S. They negotiate with the town you live in to provide this to you. You dont really have a choicee and again, why is it bad to say to them, for the government to say no, you cannot misuse the private data you collect . You do have a choice of the Internet Service provider. You have local broadband, you have a choice and it covers a lot of isps. Vi youve two standards. Last october, they created Internet Service providers with another standard by the federal trade commission for the rest of the world. Which became confusing to consumers. You are very intelligent, well read. You know what companies have what data on you. What you have the federal trade commission and federal Communications Commission chairman saying there is one standard to protect Consumer Privacy. Again, from february 2015 the world did not end in terms ofof privacy. We have what we have today after the cra. They are going to march forwardv and come up with harmonized rules protecting consumers. The world really is not going to and from a privacy perspective. If an Internet Service provider with the start to breach their agreement and federal and state law, there would be an avalanche of lawsuits. As well as government agencies. The attorney general of the united states. Tucker so quickly, the concern about Internet Service providers having too much power i understand. But people seem way less concerned about google which seems to run the world andco people presume their decency. Why should we presume their decency . Why are we not paying closer attention . The real difference is an Internet Service provider knows where you live, who you are, the credit card number because you have to pay your bill every month. Maybe your Social Security number. You can do a lot of surfing online. With their Internet Service provider, you really dont have a choice. In todays world, theres so much rob and i agree on on harmonization and fairness to companies and consumers but in the world we live in today, most americans have a choice of exactly one company to provide their internet sharing. You dont have marketing power. Tucker can we trust anonymous searching . Absolutely. Cdt. Org. Learn about the vpns, but i do not want to burden the consumers by having tucker put some tape over the camera on your ipad. Thank you both.

The executive director of turning point usa, for the past four months his group has been placing a Selective Group of academics on a professor watch list. They use their lectures to push their propaganda. A few new names, charlie kirkk joining us now to explain why they are there. Charlie kirk, good to see you. Thank you for having me. Tucker the watch list has driven a lot of people in the media completely crazy. You are mccarthyism. What kind of response have you gotten . Some of these academics think this is the new rise of mccarthyism. I always joked back, at least we show you our list. This is an exercise of free speech. All these professors are so scared of what they have said being made public that maybe they should reconsider what they are saying. Higher education is a choice that consumers make and the consumers are the students, our parents and alumni. A people have a right to know in the lecture halls. Somehow these professors are comments are made public. We just kind of laugh and scoff and say if you are so fearful that your highly intellectual thoughts are now made public on a consolidated list, that is your problem. Not ours. Tucker every part of American Life has become more accountable and transparent. You can look up your physician and a dentist and vet. But not your professor. Tell me about some of the people who just made your list. One of my favorites is a professor at Saddleback College who famously last september was so appalled and offended by the 9 11 memorial posters, margot lovett. She decided to tear them down because she did not believe that these posters should be placed throughout the campus. More research showed that she actually in 2001 agreed that the u. S. Is partly to blame for it. You are a student or alumni. Giving money to Saddleback College. Is that really what you want your donation to go towards . Professors that feel so offended by 9 11 memorial posters being placed on your campus another professor eric canin was a professor at cal state fullerton who physically attacked a trump supporting student. This is something you cover a lot. The left hates their idea that there is other ideas. They have been controllings academia for far too long. We are being a watchdog and putting them on notice. Tucker there is a high degree of emotional incompetence. They dont make a counter argument, they lose control ofof yourselves. Almost childlike i would say. There is a harvard professor called danielle allen, tell us about her. Danielle allen, she wrote an oped in the washington post. Unapologetic about this.
