Well, I didn't tell DeeDee and Sam that they were speaking, because this way they'd be nervous coming in. Now I just put them up. And did they do great or what? Right? (Applause.)
If we would have given them advance notice, you couldn't have done better than that no matter how hard you worked. That was great. Both Sam and DeeDee, thank you very much. Fantastic job.
In order to build on our progress, in just a few moments I will sign the single largest bill to combat a drug crisis in the history of our country. I especially want to thank Senator Rob Portman for working to ensure that the bill gives law enforcement the tools and resources they need to stop ultra-lethal - think of that word, "ultra-lethal"; that's a big statement - drugs, like fentanyl, from being trafficked throughout our mail.
And, Rob, I do have to thank you. I know how hard - (applause) - please, stand up. Please. (Applause.) How hard you've worked. Thank you. Thank you, Rob.
This legislation also includes vital messages [measures] to expand support for addiction recovery and treatment, and the transition back to independent living, with a very, very steady job, great job.
Joining us today are 21 of our nation's top companies and organizations - these are fantastic, successful companies that are putting back; they're giving back and they're putting back - who are going to be announcing bold commitments to help us solve this crisis.
In just a few moments, we are here to listen to these incredible incentives, and benefit by them.
Together, we will defeat this epidemic - it's a true epidemic - as one people, one family, and one magnificent nation under God.
I want to thank everybody for being here. This is a tremendous honor for me and tremendous honor for Melania, who's worked so hard on this. And I appreciate that very much, First Lady. Really, a fantastic job. Karen, thank you very much. Really appreciate it.
God bless you all. God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you. (Applause.)
