Hello, its great to be with you.

I want to talk about opioid addiction which claimed an average of 116 American lives every single day in 2016.

My Administration is committed to using every tool at our disposal to combat the opioid epidemicthat includes getting tough on the drug dealers and pushers peddling this poison in our communities.

We have to get really, really tough, really nastywhatever it takes because we have to keep them out of our country, out of our communities.

It also involves all of us preventing misuse from starting at home.

Tomorrow is National Prescription Drug Take Back Daya day where we are calling on all Americans to prevent pill abuse and theft by cleaning their homes of potentially dangerous expired and unneeded prescription drugsvery, very important. Opioid abuse and addiction can impact anyone, and everyone knows someone who has been impacted.

Thats why we call it the " Crisis Next Door" .

Most Americans who abuse prescription drugs get them from someone elses leftover prescriptions.

In fact, misusing prescription opioids can be a gateway to deadly heroin addiction or the unsuspecting use of fentanyl-laced drugs.

That is why National Take Back Day is so vitally important.
