Well, one of the one of those important things that RFK focuses on is the importance of sustainable, regenerative agriculture and just healthy food systems. And the United States creates and produces food better than anywhere else in the world. And that's not just a talking point. It's the it's the truth.
I mean, they're cutting down the rainforest to grow food there when we could be doing it here. in the United States and supporting American farmers. So I'm totally all in on his agenda there. But let me say something about the unlikely allies that President Trump has put together. That's the unlikely stakeholders that we can put together to protect the environment too in a sensible way.

What the congressman just talked about, we need reform on the Endangered Species Act so that it's more effective. Not so we can kill off endangered species, so that it can be more effective. And that's what we're working on with this administration, not just ESA reform, national parks, wildlife, ecosystem restoration.

Let's restore America's beauty and our environment because that's what's in disrepair. And it's not because fossil fuels and the right killing every animal. It's because our two party system has no incentive to solve problems.

And if Donald Trump steps in and says, we wanna make America beautiful again, we wanna protect America's ecosystems and wildlife and beauty, and we wanna do it in a conservation first way, allow local stakeholders to lead when it comes to these efforts and put our natural beauty first to stop talking about climate change and carbon emissions in the atmosphere and China and all that stuff.

Let's protect the environment here at home. I think we can actually get really far and reform these policies to make the environment protected in a more efficient, sensible way and stop wasting government taxpayer dollars on programs that don't work. They actually hurt the environment more than they help. And that's the sort of approach that I think this president is going to deploy.

We're basically recreating and rebranding the entire environmental movement as it was supposed to be, a nonpartisan issue that puts Americans first and the environment first at the same time. Check that out. But also, I think If you have been dismayed by the environmental conversation over the last few decades, I don't blame you, but engage.

We need sensible people engaged in the conservation environment dialogue. They haven't been for a while. We've let the inmates run the asylum and the crazy people dictate the policies.
