pocketbook issue and that as we, Charlie, you and I have long battled together to take the American dream to every corner of our country. These are really, real significant issues. I don't have my chart here with me, but if I did, and by the way, President Trump loves this chart, but it shows that for 40 years, the price of eggs was pretty static. It was right around $1.50, $2 a dozen.

Then under Obama, it went up, not surprisingly, because of overregulation and higher taxes, et cetera. The cost of input went up, but not significantly, you know, maybe from $1.52 to $2.53. Then under Trump, without anything intentional, but just because less government, lower regulations, everyone did better, the prices went back down. But then under Biden...

they skyrocketed 230% higher than what they were under Trump 1. And there's reasons for that, over-regulation, et cetera. But the avian bird flu, which is a virus that these chickens have gotten, is a huge reason. The Biden team basically depopulated about 150 million chickens egg-laying hens last year, which is the protocol.

We're looking at the protocol now to see how to tweak it so that hopefully we don't have to do that moving forward. But we did.

We rolled out a five-point plan about a week ago, includes deregulation, includes repopulation much more quickly, includes importing eggs from other countries for the short term, and then for the long term, figuring out how to solve for these viruses that are basically annihilating significant populations in our poultry industry.

That's exactly right. Now, alongside the Biden crazy inflation, crazy overregulation, crazy spending, right? I mean, the bird flu has certainly been a massive driver in that, but it isn't just that. And, you know, as much as we would love to get the price of eggs down to $2 by tomorrow, although I think we're making some good strides, I've seen some recent numbers that

This is going to take a little while. It's going to take a little while to figure out how to solve for the flu. It's going to take a little while to get the deregulation, such as Prop 12 in California and line speeds and other things back to normal before they were in Trump 1. And frankly, just bring the cost of goods down across the country. But we're making incredible strides.

I'm so proud of this president. He has just been such a, I mean, we all know this, right? Such a warrior for everything that we care about. And my role now becomes, you know, the farmers, the ranchers, the ag community, bringing prosperity back to rural America and getting the price of those eggs down. That's at least what he's told me.

Well, it is. And when I got the call on November 23rd from President Trump, it was a Saturday before Thanksgiving. My husband and my four kids and I were driving to Auburn, Alabama for the Texas A&M-Auburn football game and very unexpectedly had a conversation that, I mean, really kind of changed everything.

Although I will eventually go back and join you, Charlie, out in the trenches doing the great work outside. I mean, yeah, that's where my heart is. But but but it is a it really is. It's a privilege. It's a blessing. But it's a big job. I mean, people assume, to your point, it's corn and soybeans and some beef.

But it's also the food stamp program, which is a massive bureaucratic nightmare of a beast where we're not even really getting food. the food to the people who really need it most. And when we are, it includes Cokes and candy and all kinds of bad stuff. So there's massive amount of work that we need to do there. It also includes the Forest Service. So we've got the largest firefighting unit
