00:02:47,654 --> 00:02:51,934

45
00:02:51,974 --> 00:02:54,974
Speaker 1: they planned to propose a bill to impeach Jun on Wednesday,

46

57
00:03:27,694 --> 00:03:31,334
Speaker 1: says addressing drug use will require funding for treatment services,

58
00:03:31,654 --> 00:03:34,374
Speaker 1: including for the trauma that could prompt people to start

59
00:03:34,454 --> 00:03:38,454
Speaker 1: using drugs. She also says reducing stigma around use will

60
00:03:38,494 --> 00:03:40,574
Speaker 1: make it easier for those in need of treatment to

61
00:03:40,614 --> 00:03:45,414

82
00:04:50,054 --> 00:04:54,174
Speaker 1: provided by the toymaker. The California based toymaker had intended

83
00:04:54,174 --> 00:04:57,974
