“I just wanted you to know, as well as the new director of our office of — I always forget the full name of this — I call it the Drug Czar . . .

It’s the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, but it’s not that surprising that he wouldn’t be able to remember the name — it doesn’t actually make any sense.
The Drug Czar’s office isn’t particularly interested in drug control — they like to give it away to the criminals. And they’re not really much for policy, either — they stick to the same line regardless of facts or… anything. They mostly pontificate and autocratically rule over the drug war, kind of like a… czar.
