Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

President Trump declared the opioid crisis a “national public health emergency” last week. The difference in calling the epidemic a public health emergency instead of a national crisis is prodigious. Congressman Tim Ryan (D-Ohio, 13), who represents one of the hardest-hit areas in the opioid crisis, says the money from the national public health emergency fund could barely cover the funding for one of his counties, let alone the nation. “There’s no money,” says Ryan. “We literally need $10 billion to fund all of the programs.” The congressman discussed the administration’s response to the opioid epidemic and Republicans' push for tax reform. Author and historian Lamar Waldron talks about some of the nuggets he unearthed from the recently-released JFK documents.
