through medicaid expansion in louisiana, access to insurance as it increases, states like louisiana should see significant positive impact on our residents in terms of increased access to addiction services. since we have expanded overall in january 2016, we have 460,000 people who received healthcare coverage. medicaid expansion has had a significant positive impact on access to care in addition to low-end prescription of opioid drugs and pills in the state. according to our board of diplomacy which administers prescription drug monitoring programs even though we have 460,000 additional people on healthcare coverage, the total number of prescriptions and the total number of pills prescribed, they have actually decreased since medicaid expansion. we have to focus on increasing the service, a rate through utilization like the demonstration waivers for substance use disorders which allows states to be creative and how they attack -- in how they attack addiction. in louisiana it ensures continuing access to vital treatment services and permits ldh, the department of health, through our contra

and i can tell you that louisiana is no different. while the opioid epidemic is happening now, it's really only a symptom of a larger problem, addiction, and to an even bigger extent mental health issues which drive these problems. right now the focus is on opioids, but addressing substance abuse disorders is at the core of our challenge. addiction is a lifelong challenge for people, and we need strategies equally long-lasting. and i think as governors, it's critical that we understand how these deadly drugs are making their way on onto our streets, into our communities and in our homes. and with its evolution, we must be nimble in our approach and prepared to respond to what comes next. so we have to correctly anticipate the evolutionary changes and then game plan effectively. this requires a deep partnership between those tracking and interdicting these drugs and those standing up treatment and recovery services. it also requires that federal, state and local governments remain coordinated. now, to face this epidemic in louisiana, w

oh in vail louisiana is soybean country raymond checks knight a says his crop is coming in oh well this year. it will relook at being but if the train spat between the united states and china doesn't tend soon his market is gone six nye just says he could lose more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars thanks to the twenty five percent china slapped on u.s. imports in response to trump's tariffs. i don't know if we realize from the start how big of a buyer drano was. you know everybody talk about the imbalance in trade but this was a really big. big deal big deal. china is louisiana's biggest export market roughly fifteen thousand jobs depend on the states agricultural exports to china meanwhile beijing says the trade conflict will have limited impact on the chinese soybean market in twenty seventeen most imports came from brazil and argentina and in early july china removed tariffs on soybean imports from some asian countries may only way that oh well no one without us soybeans we can import soybeans from south america and countries along bills and road routes to meet our needs and a

the governor of louisiana considered giving black men the right to vote. what happens here, they are attacked by racist mob on the constitutional convention. the state convention. some are killed. the army has to be called in to the localser because join in and start attacking black communities. the union general arrives to restore order and he says it is a massacre. they just massacre the people, right? reaction in the north. people are thinking, weight a minute. didn't we just fight a war for years with a lot of loss of life and we are back to square one? peace, these issues are still being contested. johnson does not budge. people in the republican congress are hearing what is happening. people in the north -- he says no. i will make the 1866 about my plan versus the plan of the republicans. he demeans himself. he was drunk at his own inauguration. at the second inauguration, he was so badly drunk he had to be held up. he completely demeans his office by campaigning against his own party. against the republican party. going to the north, he plays the ra

one senator who did meet today with the nominee, john kennedy of louisiana. the senate judiciary committee member joins us now. great to have you with us. what was your impression of the meeting today? >> i like judge kavanaugh. i knew going in he was of superior intellect. i have read enough of his opinions to know that he is whip smart. i wanted to use the time we had together to try to understand not just what's in his head but what's in his heart. we talked a little. i asked him how his beautiful daughters were handling all of this. we talked a little bit about his teaching. i used to teach a little bit in law school. how you juggle that with your day job. we talked about his coaching. he coaches girls basketball. we talked about pete maravich. i saw his first game as a college freshman. judge kavanaugh is a big fan. we talked. i didn't want to cross examine. that wasn't the purpose of the meaning. i want to know what's in his heart but i asked him about the role of precedent in our legal system. he has thought about it deeply. i was impressed with his an

speakers included former louisiana senator mary landrieu and several current members of congress. this is just under an hour. >> to the second part of this discussion which really is about the social compact, the new bargains we have to strike and get business, labor and government together on to underpin upward mobility for working class people, people who don't have great levels of education and need more to get the middle income jobs and the better jobs. so to kick us off, we're lucky to have our good friend congressman john delaney from maryland. he is a entrepreneur and i think still the only member of congress to have served as a ceo of companies that are publicly traded. he's also built a reputation as one of our most creative legislators, has a really thoughtful array of bills on infrastructure, health care and others. unfortunately, he's here at a time when the republicans have outlawed legislation of any kind, it seems, in washington. nothing happens. so congressman delaney has decided to, instead, run for president and has spent a lot of time in iowa and new hampshire t

july sixteenth summit to be a productive one well first of all to be fair the republican senator from louisiana probably hasn't spent a whole lot of time outside of the united states he's only been in office for eighteen months but what's really disappointing about this is he's really undermining the president of the states i mean here it is a week out from trump and putin's meeting and you have the senator junior senator from louisiana basically insulting the russian government insulting the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and really insulting the country of russia so talking tough of course after he's left the country and is on safe ground in the u.s. it's debatable whether he actually said all of those things that he claims he said but certainly in terms of posturing to a sort of ultra conservative base here in the united states it probably looks good to be talking tough so we understand the politics of that but really it's extremely poor in terms of undermining the u.s. president ahead of his very important in fact historical meeting i that does it for me i will be back with headline

host: in baton rouge, louisiana, chris is next. caller: how are you doing? host: go ahead. caller: i just heard a caller advocating while ago for the execution on the spot of drug dealers or immigrants or whatever. i just wanted to point out the danger in scapegoating an entire race ofy, an entire people for that they are only a small factor of. caused by crisis was demand for drugs. there is an addiction problem. it is a medical problem exacerbated by big pharma companies pushing addictive medicines and lying about side effects, and doctors overprescribing. but to simplify it and say it is caused by illegal immigrants and they should be executed on the spot and that will somehow solve something, it is getting to a dangerous point. host: the centers for disease control tell us natural opioids codeine,orphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and tramadol and fentanyl. i'd when -- heroin isn't ob synthesized from morphine. david, hello. caller: good morning. host: you are on. caller: for the last 30 years, when black people were getting caught with heroin or opioids, they were called

in particular, louisiana. but they said as long as the white population was loyal, they can reenter. there were hardly any conditions for civil rights or blacks. congress was upset about that. they had their own bill that they said would give black people some civil rights, but they did not give black men the right to vote. that does not mean that lincoln was opposed to black rights. remember his last speeches, he was in support of black rights. he writes a letter to the governor of louisiana saying to consider giving the right to vote to those who are very intelligent and have served in the union army and are educated. he is clearly a person who is moving toward black rights. johnson never does. in fact, he digs into this position that it is an impossibility. the other way lincoln is different is that he is a party leader. he emerges from the republican party and he leads the republican party successfully through the war, and in the last of the war, he works with republicans in congress to achieve quite a bit

it's now my pleasure to yield two minutes to the gentleman from louisiana, mr. scalise, the house majority whip. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from louisiana, majority whip, is recognized for two minutes. mr. scalise: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank my colleague from virginia for yielding the time. i especially want to thank my colleague, congressman higgins from louisiana, for his leadership in bringing this resolution to the floor. what is -- does the resolution do? it simply says we stand behind our i.c.e. agents. those brave men and women who are keeping america safe. these are the people on the frontlines of removing terrorists from our country. these are the people -- by the way last year alone removed over 100,000 criminals from our country. and they want to vote present? my colleagues on the other side are talking about voting present. let me ask you, mr. speaker, when you look at the numbers, last year i.c.e. agents, they rescued or identified 518 victims human trafficking. what if those i.c.e. agents would have voted present that day? instead
