Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, that's been a pretty big priority of ours. And within the first hour of being sworn in on February 13th, 50 letters went out to all 50 governors in the country. And in those letters, we talked about SNAP. and innovation and send me your waivers because the way the program works, it moves through the states.

And so, and I love that anyway, like why would the federal government be telling everyone what to do? We want in the founders best vision of the 10th amendment to allow the states to build those programs. But within that was why are taxpayer dollars

Why are taxpayer dollars, billions of taxpayer dollars, being spent on sugary drinks and junk food to go into our supplemental nutrition program for our food insecure populations, our lower income populations, when, to your point, the backside is an obesity and chronic disease epidemic unlike any developed country in the history of the world has ever seen.

74% of our adolescents, our teenagers, would not pass the military readiness test of our United States military right now today. 75%. So again, talk about national security, talk about all of the things. This is a massive, massive challenge facing America.

And in the first administration, and healthcare was under my portfolio in domestic policy, as conservatives, we've long talked about how do we make America healthy again, but very much from a numbers perspective, right? The cost to the healthcare system At the back end of this, it's not just the taxpayers funding it at the front end with the junk food and the sugary drinks and the diabetes.

I mean, it's really stunning what's happened just in the last couple of decades. But then on the back end, the cost to our healthcare system in treating those chronic diseases is going to bankrupt our country. It's almost bankrupting all the states right now through Medicaid. So how do we solve for that? And enter Bobby Kennedy.

And Bobby and I don't agree on everything, but we do agree on most things. And the opportunity, I was just with him yesterday touring some farms and talking about nutrition and agriculture all day. the opportunity for the agriculture lead and the health lead to work daily, hand in hand, to solve this together. You can't solve this through government regulation. You just can't.

You can't solve this through government regulation. You just can't.

But you solve it through nutrition, through empowering your farmers, through getting good food into these programs versus the ultra-processed, et cetera, et cetera. We've all heard Bobby use these points. And he couldn't be more right. And listen, It's, again, talk about realigning the world economy with the president's vision of tariffs.

It's also realigning how we look at food, how we as a federal government, to your point on SNAP and other food programs, we have 13 nutrition programs. Listen to this number. This is going to astound you. In America today, through USDA, this is not all the other agencies. This is just here at USDA. We spend $370 million a day on nutrition programs.
