i don't know from a perspective whether this will ever be as big as tobacco was. just to give you an idea how pervasive tobacco was, when i came to the senate we had a quota program and you fully remember it's a little bit like something out of moscow in the early 1920s, but anyway, they assigned quotas to the farm and we had at least some tobacco in 119 of a hundred 20 counties but it was the only thing you could grow profitably that was legal. holler is an area between two tall mountains. it was literally everywhere. for obvious reasons, the public health concerns began to see the program decline. we were fortunate enough to orchestrate a buyout and the asset was attached to land when you pager property taxes the tobacco quota you had was part of the value of the land. no tax money was used in the buyout which you will remember from 2004 or 2005, but it was paid for by the industry itself. so over a ten year time period, this quota that was created by the government and added value to the land was compensated for and we always had diverse agriculture but there w

opioid executives, however, have avoided the spotlight that congress puts on the executives of the big tobacco companies. colleagues -- we have colleagues and friends now from both sides of the aisle. that's got to change. the executives need to be brought before this committee that pays for so much of american healthcare and be held accountable. flooding american communities with these drugs is big, big business and so-called safer opioid pills have just kept the cash registers running. congress would be derelict in its responsibilities if it pre tends there is no profit motive or corporate scheming behind the addiction crisis. in 2015 more than 52,000 americans died of a drug overdose. i'm glad the chairman touched on those statistics because it increased to 64,000 in 2016 and in 2017 it was 71,000. there is a tragic and well documented pattern of opioid addiction escalating into abuse of heroin and fentanyl. now an even stronger narcotic called carfentanil is spreading. carfentanil is supposed to be use, colleagues, as a sedative for elephants. it is so potent and dangerous first responders

i don't know if this will ever be as big as tobacco was. when i came to the senate, we had quota program. you of course fully remember. it's a little bit like something out of moscow in early 1920s. but anyway, they assigned quota to the farm. and we had at least some tobacco in 119 of 120 counties. it was the only thing you could grow profitably that was legal. it was legal. up what we call a holler, between two tall mountains. it was literally everywhere. but for obvious -- obviously the public health concerns, the program began to decline. i was fortunate enough to orchestrate a buyout of those quotas by the government. the asset was attached to the land, and when you paid your property taxes, the tobacco quota you had was part of the value of your land. no tax money was used in the buyout, which you will remember, pat, from probably 2004, 2005. but it was paid for, essentially, by the industry itself. and, so, over a ten-year period, this quota that was created by the government that added value to the land was compensated for. and we a

there was nothing as big as tobacco so all the people in rural kentucky that grew up with tobacco were hoping this would be something and as we all know it could end up in your dashboard, it could end up in food, certain kinds of pharmaceuticals. it's time to figure it out and see where the market will take us. i just want to conclude by thanking you all for your effort on this. i think it's an important new development in agriculture and i hope there's plenty of help coming around it's just coming from other parts of the country. why would we not want it to come from here. >> can i just add to what the leader said. you bring back a lot of memories, but when i was sitting down at the very end of the table, we were the most junior members of bathtime and they remembered the chairman and the senator sitting up here almost obscure, they were smoking cigars burning cash to the crops and your dearou little muttering and that was the tobacco legislation o. >> anyway, times have changed. [laughter] thank you for that history lesson. i remember when i first came here and we talked about the to

the big industries of coal mining and tobacco and everything like that, i remember the movie called deliveranceand this gentleman reminds me of what trump country is all about. the question is who would support the sky. true republicans don't back up. first of all, i'm delighted somebody brought it up. just to be fair, i'm not sure that it's really fair to say that the voters -- at the end of the day he did unify the republican party because he had to really important mandates. one was to not be hillary clinton and he accomplish that on day one and the other one was the judges. if you go out and talk to every republican and everything else was potential argument and disagreement. there is a solid core of trump supporters and their other people who they don't like him but he's better than hillary and i think democrats get themselves into really bad places when they assume that if you voted for trump urine evil, dumb, stupid redneck racist hick but i don't think that's true. i think hillary clinton is a bad politician. i know she's a native daughter of illinois and arkansas and new york.
