BB
Thank you, sir. I’m just so glad to be part of the conversation. Pleasure to meet you.

LD
No, I’m truly elated and thank you for allowing us to come out here to your office. All right. We want to welcome you all to Count Time. This is a serious matter today. One of the first kind of serious issues that we’re going to discuss here that I have discussed on Count Time that deals with the community, all the things that’s going on surrounding alcohol, drugs, new laws that allow you to to get high any time you want to. So there’s just so much going on to the gun violence and all that stems from one thing. We all know what it is, drugs.
