WEBVTT

00:03.500 --> 00:11.200
That. We so long relationship with the
idea a hive has been unbelievably

00:11.200 --> 00:13.710
productive and just a
whole host of ways.

00:14.300 --> 00:17.800
I think the thing that we're most
appreciative of particularly.

00:18.380 --> 00:22.910
During the difficult budget times.
So a fair bet that the ideas

00:22.910 --> 00:26.300
kept a strong focus on the counter
narcotics and of course we

00:26.300 --> 00:30.260
know that the counter narcotics
groups are often tied into on

00:30.410 --> 00:34.880
all types of other park illegal activity
and the funding stream.

00:34.880 --> 00:39.590
So we rely heavily and depend heavily
on the I a I do a lot of

00:39.590 --> 00:43.410
international travel and the information
was provided by the D.

00:43.410 --> 00:47.190
I E analysts on the country's that
the that we're going to be

00:47.260 --> 00:50.950
working with are going to there's
been particularly helpful and

00:50.950 --> 00:54.470
I can tell you that in several
countries are we've really had

00:54.610 --> 00:59.350
good success whether it's in precursor
chemicals ah and trying

00:59.350 --> 01:02.620
to stop those from coming into
the United States. You know a

01:02.620 --> 01:05.980
lot of those se relationships a
lot of that success wouldn't

01:05.980 --> 01:09.840
come about of once and for the
fact that we really do to lay

01:09.840 --> 01:12.240
of the land of that's would
be I it does for us.. This.

01:12.890 --> 01:24.120
This. Or part of the executive office
of the president and we've

01:24.120 --> 01:27.070
been around since 19 88
when then senator by.

01:27.740 --> 01:31.620
Car was very instrumental in trying
to get a answers to what

01:31.620 --> 01:34.720
is the nation's drug problem. Look
like instead of having to

01:34.720 --> 01:37.030
build multiple different agencies.

01:37.540 --> 01:41.140
They wanted one agency in our office
where that associate director

01:41.140 --> 01:45.020
of intelligence and we have six
staff them liaison people.

01:45.560 --> 01:49.450
On that very small number you can
see how important is that we

01:49.450 --> 01:53.670
rely on so many others to give us
the information we need before

01:53.670 --> 01:57.610
really gonna properly inform the
president and the key cabinet

01:57.640 --> 01:59.690
members of how hard drug. Issues.

02:07.570 --> 02:12.170
I the S stands 37 years of local
law enforcement it's a police

02:12.170 --> 02:13.830
chief of buffalo Seattle.

02:14.340 --> 02:18.420
So recognizing the importance of
information sharing and also

02:18.420 --> 02:22.070
the fact that crime really doesn't
care about the city borders

02:22.070 --> 02:23.040
county borders.

02:23.700 --> 02:28.120
Stage or international ones. So sharing
information and figuring

02:28.120 --> 02:32.260
out how we can be affected together
and again the difficult budget

02:32.260 --> 02:35.700
time simply its collaboration
since of partnerships.

02:36.470 --> 02:47.130
Ever more important. The..
