fast. like in 20 or 30 minutes. then you are flooded by water. we re tried to keep it out of the basement and all of a sudden it just appeared and started rising and rising. there was no way to get out. they said if you are going to leave, you need to leave early. for those that are watching, they say charleston floods. this happens. why was this different? i don t know why it was different, but it happened in a hurry. we had flooding and i haven t had any flooding in my house before that. it was the last two years that we had major flooding anywhere from six inches to 10 inches in the basement area. it s frightening to go through this. absolutely. it has to make you nervous rate here. to be able to protect our house. you showed a maying video and hopefully we will be able to turn it around. thank you for taking the time. a maying video from the garage.

today is the first step of bringing some of these stakeholders together. you know, but, like i just mentioned on the other thing, i appreciate that everyone want the answers but i think that there is a reason that you re looking at two things. a whole of government and a whole of person. right. it s looking at how do we look at people to help them get the recovery stay clean. not start in the first place. help them get into treatment center. help them get a job afterwards. i mean, there is a lot of whole of person but whole of government. you are looking at around that table today, you have got families and parents and individuals who have been personally affected in one way, shape, or form. governor christie has dealt with it at a state level. pam bondi looked at it state level. secretary kelly looking a at it from homeland security. dea looking at it from law enforcement. then have you got secretary devos looking at it from education and prevention it is a big, big issue that is

welcome a.j. solomon and vanessa, both of him have fought addiction and are now symbols of hope and recovery. right? yes. great job. we must get our citizens to help and we need help. everybody has to help. and we will not have to go through what pam has gone through and so many other families in this country have gone through. we want to help people like a.j. and vanessa who struggle through the dark depths of addiction. not easy. not easy. and they found this bright promise of recovery. we must also focus on prevention and law enforcement, which is why i have issued previous executive actions to strengthen law enforcement and dismantle criminal cartel. drug cartels have spread their deadly industry across our nation and the availability of cheap narcotics. cheap, some the it comes in
