Sagely Speaking with Mary Bono welcomes her friend and former colleague Congressman Hal Rogers who has served Kentucky’s 5th Congressional District for 22 consecutive terms, playing a crucial role on the House Appropriations Committee. Facing the devastating impact of the opioid crisis, particularly OxyContin, Rogers launched Operation UNITE, a grassroots effort mobilizing thousands to combat addiction. He also founded the RX Summit, a leading drug policy forum attended by over 4,000 participants, including four U.S. presidents. In our conversation, Hal shares encouraging progress on reducing opioid deaths but emphasizes the need for stronger action on fentanyl, immigration reform, and border security to curb the ongoing crisis.
