00:00It's done it three times. It works. It fixed my demonic relationship.
00:04This is Rob O'Neill, who's a friend of mine and a great guy. Go ahead.
00:08It fixed my demonic relationship with alcohol. It saved my life and then it saved my wife.
00:12So every day is a blessing. It took about three years of... I did it three times.
00:16It's a different adventure every time. That's not fun.
00:20So without it, you would have had problems?
00:23I did it with... There was a Green Beret, 28-year sergeant major, that told me when we finished,
00:28make sure you tell Amber Capone, the CEO of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions,
00:32that she saved my life because I was going to kill myself next week.
00:35This was my last chance. I had a 28-year veteran tell me that.
00:38This works.
00:39Okay. Good.
00:40Mr. President, could you ask Marcus to speak about his experience?
00:46Thank you, Secretary. Yeah, Mr. President, what Rob O'Neill is talking about,
00:50my wife, Amber Capone, is the CEO of our charity Vets, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions.
00:55We had prayed for this day to come 10 years ago when we started the charity.
00:59We've been sending veterans outside the country, Joe, that you've been talking about for years,
01:03several thousand now, and we said the mission will end once this day happens.
01:07So we believe this is a huge step in maybe that the mission goes away
01:11and now we have affordable access right here in the U.S.
01:13Why didn't they get it done?
01:14We're getting it done, right? You're getting it done.
01:17Why are the presidents looking at it, right?
01:20Why didn't they get it done?
01:22I think we needed you.
01:27There's a small group of us in the House that have been trying to move legislation since I showed up.
01:34Mr. Correa, Mr. Bergman, Mr. McCall, Mr. Crenshaw, every year have tried to move legislation.
01:40That side of the room is not going to like what I have to say about this.
01:42And every year it has all fallen short.
01:46Every year it has all fallen short.
01:48And it's because of the proverbial roadblocks that are always in the way.
01:52That's right.
01:53Fair assessment.
01:55But those members of myself were convicted never to give up, ever.
02:00And with this executive order, I'm going to maintain a proposal, Mr. President.
02:04With this executive order, you have broken down those barriers and allowed us.
02:10I have all the faith in the world that this will codify and remain forever.
02:14So thank you very much for taking care of your service members and your veterans
02:17and giving the members that have been working on this for so long a chance.
02:21Thank you, sir.
02:22Well, this, when I sign this, this does solve it for the three-year,
02:27but we'll get that codified very easily.
02:29Absolutely.
02:29Once I sign it, we get it codified.
02:32So that'll be, we'll make it permanent.
02:35I have no doubt it's going to be working.
