explain the battle in ohio. >> in ohio in 1994 the legislature passed a law that allowed the state tooter failure to vote as a way to send a notice to voters to find out if they were still in the district. the 1993 federal law does not appear to allow failure to vote as a reason to take people off the voting roles. they say we don't take people off polls for not voting. we send them a notice. it has been enforced by democrat and republican officials. however, the reality is the higher percentage of people who don't vote tend to be democrats, african-americans, et cetera. so it has that effect whether it was intended or not. and that -- >> basically, if i don't vote, i'm a resident in ohio. if i miss one primary vote or one off year election vote in terms of not being a presidential election, i can be taken off the poll for not voting and they say well, swewe sent you a notice. you are saying that is disproportionately among black voters and lower income voters which in effect comes to the same thing of disenfranchisement. because now they can no longer vote unless they reregister and

so, it's become the number one killer in ohio. the vast majority of illegal fentanyl is purchased online from labs in china and then shipped to the united states through the mail. we'll hear from the drug enforcement agency today about that. but i think it's shocking to people when they find out that this is coming through our u.s. mail system. last night, the subcommittee released its bipartisan report. i hope you all have seen it, how criminals exploit vulnerabilities in international mail and use the u.s. postal service to ship illicit opioids into our country. without objection, i would move that the subcommittee's report be read into the record. after our initial 2017 hearing, we set out to find out how easy it is to purchase fentanyl online. and how it was shipped to the united states. what we discovered, of course, was it was shockingly easy to do so. all you had to do was search "fentanyl for sale." that simple search returned hundreds of websites, many affiliated with chinese labs, all openly advertising illegal drugs. the

tomorrow i'll be at a plant in cleveland, ohio, that is putting more money into their pension plan. i think it's going to be about $50 million into a pension plan. it isn't in terrible shape but it could be a lot healthier. that's going to help those employees directly. last friday i was after the a plant in columbus, ohio, again small manufacturer, a metal foreman map, wolf metal competing with people around the globe. what they're going to do is make more investments in equipment. i like this comparison to the tax bill because one of the pieces of equipment, about a $1 million piece of equipment they want to replace with the tax bill savings is 32 years old. the tax code that we reformed was 31 years old. and so it's time. don't you think? every few decades to actually reform our tax code to bring it up to speed to make it more competitive to give our workers the edge just as it's time to replace that machine to give his employees the ability to compete globally. nationwide insurance, columbus, ohio, is going to reinvest in their workers, western and southern financial group, boein

in ohio, in my state, 209,000 ohio children rely on chip. now, who are these kids? these are sons and daughters of ohioans who are working in most cases making -- making $8, $10, $12 an hour, children -- the sons and daughters of those parents who don't have insurance, not because they aren't working as hard or harder than we do but don't have insurance simply because their parents happen to work at a job where they're not paid -- they're not provided insurance. 209,000 ohio children rely on chip. this is a program, mr. president, that's been bipartisan for 20 years. it was without controversy in the past. families in some states already have gotten letters last year and early this year warning them their children could lose their health care. parents are panicked and confused. mr. president, think about these families. the parents of some of these millions of children around the country, they get -- they go out to their mailbox. they come home from work. they're working at a $10 an hour a job, not making much money, working as hard as we do. they go to the mailbox.

ohio went for the president. here he is just about a year in. ohio is happy with the choice they made because if economy i believe was their number one issue, was your number one issue. >> well, look, the economy is changing, i think people in ohio are happy to see what's going on. the tax cut i was on the ways and means committee. what we have been able to do for the people here back in ohio, they are starting to see the changes. we see wal-mart. you see some of these other businesses now giving bonuses. the economy is moving in the right direction. remember people in ohio blue collar union people said i want president trump. that's where i started. i was a blue collar family kid who understands what it means to get up every day and work hard and not see your paycheck growing. i think this year they're going to see that the trump agenda is doing a lot of good things for them. brian: i do know this. that ohio was so strongly in the president's column i think that hillary clinton basically gave up on it. even though the governor didn't even show u

gear as president of the united states all this week looking back at the last twelve months in the white house ohio was one of the battleground states that handed the president his victory in a moment we'll examine why his style is so popular with his core supporters first washington bureau chief nominee sent us this from. valley in ohio a longtime democratic stronghold that was once a hub of the american steel industry but these times are long gone president trump one ohio in twenty sixteen by promising to bring jobs back to the region. tracey winbush believes in trump she hosts a talk show on local radio and after she gets off the air she relaxes and the cigar down. he is earned respect because of what he wants to do and how he wants to get it done so he's not republican he's not democrat he's just an american who use the system for his advantage to the presidency. you have to respect that. i mean but we have to admit that he lies he doesn't tell the truth you have to admit he has a he has his own thought process. but the question is. do we all also. tracy takes me along to a party fundraiser in
