living in rural appalachia, i hear all the time about the urban/rural divide. it's very, very real. places that businesses will not come into because they can't get access to their suppliers, to their customers, provide training for their employees. you've got children that have to go to another county or to another local township or to a public library to get access so they can do their school projects. we've got a lot of intellectual capital and a lot of economic potential in rural america that's being just ignored because of this rural/urban divide. that's one of the reasons why. an important step to solving the broadband issue and expanding employment is first accurately identifying where those unserved areas are. we need an accurate map to do that. as some of you on the panel and i have discussed, just because one facility or one location in a census block says that there is coverage, that's not true, i can tell you from somebody that lives there. that's simply not true. we need this legislation that directs the assistant secretary of commerce for communications and information

and to ensure that appalachia doesn't continue to get left behind. i know the president's very concerned about that area of the country. i'm also pleased that the administration has taken seriously the opioid epidemic. as president trump declared last august, this is a national emergency and one that's hitting eastern and southeastern ohio particularly hard. addiction does not discriminate by age, race, social status, economic status, or political party. solving the problem is going to take communities, families, local elected officials, churches, faith-based organizations, and elected officials from the president all the way down to the lowest level. it's going to be an american solution. we're all going to have to be vested in the fight. i'm pleased to see that the president's budget includes approximately $20 billion to combat the opioid crisis. here's my question. specifically can you give us an idea what is the administration doing to combat the opioid crisis? and can you expand on how the administration intends to use these funds and coordinate

this is gone trump has stolen this crowd away whether in appalachia or anywhere in the big city.iotic, they connected teddy with the love of country -- bobby with the love of country as they did with jack. the democrats have to get this back. they may get it back by default because trump blows it but they don't deserve to get it back until they get this patriotic affection. >> stay on that picture. to tell you a personal story -- >> this was at a train ride. >> i was seven or eight years old playing basketball in rural mississippi, outside of meridien, mississippi, northeast high school and they actually had -- noble believes this, but the basketball courts withes were packed clay. i was playing basketball with a kid who was from the most rural part of mississippi as white working classes and halfway through the basketball game he zipped out, i saw him run across the field and we road our bikes past this house and knocked on the door, he was like what's up? he opened the door and he was in a little coat and tie and it was like a -- i don't know, a friday or something like that. i
