Congratulations on the stunning success of empire of pain. You have really hit it out of the park. The reviews have been fantastic and, no wonder. In my view, not only as someone who has written a book about the opioid crisis but also someone who has spent a lot of time with families impacted by it. You have written riveting narrative thats a Master Class of investigative journalism. You have not only dug into the documents, youve interviewed the doorman, the yoga teachers, the secretaries, the Lawn Care folks, some of whom themselves were addicted to oxycontin. Empire of pain is an Emigrantt Story and a Family Saga but as its courts also Page Turnabout who wields power in america. A reviewer in new York Magazine sarah jones i thought really nailed it when she said in her beautiful review of your book she wrote this country concluded long ago that it would trade a public good for whatever largess its tycoons woodshed.

President biden is facing a critical moment in his agenda. Nearly half of the u. S. Population is fully vaccinated against covid19 but the pace of the vaccination is at the lowest point since january and the highly infectious Delta Variant is driving a new Covid Surge in all 50 states. Virtually all Covid Hospitalizations and deaths are now among the unvaccinated so tonight we are here in ohio taking questions from a live audience as the president works to keep the pandemic in check and his goal of an Infrastructure Deal on track. It is really a critical moment for his agenda. We will take questions from some who voted for the president and some who did not vote for president biden.
