northern kentucky offers all of that but yet this proud community has settled with the terrible distinctiono be at the very epicenter of heroin addiction of kentucky and the nation. many believe the problem started because of prescription pain pill abuse kentucky has the third highestv,'qpó drug overdose mortality rate in our country. on the streets these baden-powell's are expensive -- paid bills are expensive compared to a bag of hair when it just $10 a bag. so given the progress we have made to fight the illegal sale of prescription narcotics it is no surprise we see the uptick as senator feinstein was pointing out understand the economics. few months ago i discussed the relationship between prescription painkiller abuse with federal agencies responsible for curbing the threats and i will continue to work with them as we work together to fight the epidemic. i would like to highlight the true extent of heroin abuse in northern kentucky and double-a-2 low credit the chamber of commerce for the data. the fact that these numbers come from the chamber of commerce and not law enforcement or pu

the underrated part here is northern kentucky. 10 years ago, northern kentucky west wing -- northern kentucky was swingish. last 10 years, a bunch of ohio republicans have moved to northern kentucky. it is why hamilton county has gone democrat the last two cycles. which it has not done in decades. part of the reason the republicans have moved to northern kentucky. she has a tough path. it is about running up the score. you mentioned some other swing counties. we were care. -- we work here. campbell and davis county. >> both of those are college town aspects. >> does that mean that younger college age are going to vote for her? is the assumption that democrats are making. it's part of her past. you are going to see -- she has to find odors -- voters to replace the coal bovote. it has been a slow erosion in these cold counties whether it's southwestern virginia or the eastern part of kentucky. in 2000.d with al gore bush was able to create that. the first time a republican had carried west virginia. we have seen the erosion never cents. in virginia, democrats made up word by increasing

part of the visit involved a motorcade up in northern kentucky where f.d.r. -- f.d.r. would deliver a speech. chandler was invited to attend event being the state's executive. it was planned that president roosevelt, barkley and chandler would ride to the event in an open top car. f.d.r. entered the vehicle first. barkley was assigned to enter second to sit next to roosevelt followed by chandler. as barkley recalled, chandler literally leapt over president over the leapt president, -- left over vice president truman, alarming the secret service to ensure he was in the middle position seated next to the popular roosevelt. i've seen those photographs and if you don't have them at the museum, you need to get it. it's got happy chandler beaming sitting next to fdr. once there, roosevelt joined them on the stage in front of 50,000 bystanders. that's back when politics would draw a crowd. f.d.r. embraced barkley publicly. i have no doubt governor chandler would make a great senator but i think he would be the first to acknowledge as a very junior member of the senate, it wou

the way to what they described as the seat of war, or the early seats somewhere in northern virginia or along the kentucky and tennessee border. but chattanooga's importance increased as the war lengthened as well, because the new confederate nation realized that if they were going to be successful in winning their independence and maintaining that independence, they had to develop the military-industrial capacity to produce the war neededl their soldiers to fight and win that independence. that military-industrial base the new nation goes to create is located in central georgia and central alabama. as that military-industrial complex grew incapacity, chattanooga became more important as a union target, because it was the doorway, the gateway, the passageway through the mountain barrier that in union hands could allow a union army to thrust into that industrial heartland. the union advanced out of middle tennessee, having earlier driven southward from louisville to nashville. they are thrusting on toward chattanooga. they advance over the mountains to the northwest of chattanooga, on a broad front. decept

the west virginia/kentucky coal country, upstate new york, northern and the middle border region -- iowa, minnesota, the dakotas. i was struck by how much remained physically from the 1930s. small town main streets haven't changed a lot, especially in the dakotas. and the gaunt, abandoned farmhouses along the back roads are a poignant reminder of the calamitous 1930s. change may be coming, though. in the times the other day, i read an article about the most desirable states for retirees looking to resettle. north and south dakota were two of the top five. [laughter] i can see this surprises you as much as it surprised me. i'm not sure what it is. maybe the oil boom in north dakota. i think it was the same article. north dakota produces a million barrels of oil a day now. in any case, in the 1930s the dakotas were among the hardest-hit places in the united states. lives were barren, grim and deprived. hickok suggested to a friend that mothers could frighten their children with mere mention of, "do as i say, or i'll send you to dakota."
