i happen to ref suffolk county on long island and new york. we have suffered with more opioid deaths and related deaths than any other county in my state. between 2009 and 2013, 334 people in suffolk county lost their lives to heroin or open yoids. by comparison, brooklyn, which has one million more residents, had only half the number of opioid deaths in the same time. treatment admissions for opioid addiction on long island rose 16, 681 87 in 2010, to in 2014. that's a 29% increase. these are percentages, mr. speaker, these are statistics all of us in this body know how this epidemic is affecting real lives. just over two weeks ago i met with the students from it high school west one world youth organization. i met with a young woman. she shared with me that her brother died of an overdose in january at 23. he was friendly, he was outgoing, he loved to spend time with his family. he was a good kid who got caught up in a epidemic that is impacting way too many long island families and way too many american families. so much so that they have n

the growing heroin and opioid crisis has hit especially home in my district in suffolk county, new york. there was a 2005 report issued in new york state that showed out of all 62 counties in new york, that it was my home county that was hit the hardest by the rise of heroin and opioid abuse. we had the highest number of heroin related overdose deaths of any county in new york. as a member of the bipartisan task force to combat the heroin epidemic, i have spoken with effective -- affected families directly. addiction is a truly devastating disease that shatters lives, families, and communities. it's a disease that only continues to spread at rapid rates, and more can and must be done to counteract the damage it has done and prevent its rapid advancement. working closely with my local community, i have been pursuing a more localized solution to address this crisis. hosting multiple drug task force round tables in suffolk county, i have been able to bring together local officials, law enforcement, health professionals, community groups, parents, concerned residents, and those in recovery

second fact, 40% according to a suffolk university/"usa today" poll of republicans aren't sure if they're going to vote for donald trump or not. they're thinking about third parties. some are thinking about hilary clint nl. some may stay home. if donald trump doesn't win those people over, change their minds, he is not going to win in november. so donald tum p needs to stop attacking paul ryan and start winning those folks over. >> david, in the case of dick cheney, it wasn't that he had to be won over, he simply said that historically i've always supported the nominee for my party, and this time will be no different. >> right. voila, he's doing the right thing. and paul ryan, the interesting thing thursday is if paul ryan expects donald trump to come to this meeting with hat in hand down on one knee asking how he's going to amend and change and adapt his policies to those of the establishment gop, then he's got another thing coming. the voters put donald trump over the top by the largest margin ever. he's going to have something like 11 million votes. >> not true. >> the largest of any r

with us now is the chair of the suffolk county republican committee and a trump surrogate, john lavalleow are you? stuart: i'm pretty well. no complaints. what is a trump surrogate? >> like a spokesperson for mr. trump. we advocate and defend him. stuart: you're on his side. you guys say trump's the guy. >> absolutely, he is. for the entire united states of america, not just long island. stuart: okay. why do you think he's going to beat hillary in november? >> well, the reality is this country's moving in the wrong direction, and you see individuals -- in this past primary, for instance, in new york state, i've never seen so many democrats and independently-registered voters trying to vote for donald trump. they didn't want to vote for hillary clinton, bernie sanders, they wanted donald trump. he has a message about -- it's not just rhetoric, making america great again. the reality is if we want to be the positive world force that we've always been, we need to be healthy again. we need to get this economy going. we need to bring jobs back to america. americans first. that's what this is
