So not just SNAP, but food banks and all of the other ones. That's just USDA. That is a stunning number. We've got to do better. And so that's a big part of it. So Secretary Kennedy and I are on this. We are so aligned. We've got the dietary guidelines we're doing right now.

Well, I will. I will talk about it. I will also say that those that represent those industries, they are good people who are raising their families. And I do believe their talking point is freedom. Why should someone at the bottom of the socioeconomic level ladder not be able to buy the same things you and I could buy? Of course, my answer is, well, we're not using taxpayer dollars.

That's a big difference. And we're not paying for it on the back end. But I understand. I understand where they would potentially be coming from. But the amount of money that is at stake is reflected in the amount of lobbyists that are out and about and certainly very much a part of the Washington, D.C. establishment. But it goes directly to why as difficult,

And as challenging as these policy issues are for all of us in President Trump's cabinet, reflecting today on the 100th day celebration, it's also so different because none of us are of Washington. That was true in the first term, and that's why I felt so freed. I could just do what was right. He just said, go do what's right.

But in the first term, we didn't really know yet how to do it, what we were doing, and who was on our side. That four-year pause in between term one and term two, it was the greatest gift. I mean, not only could we plan, but we also fully understood who was in it to save the country, what it was that we needed to do to get this done. And for me, this is so black and white.

And I've told everyone this. I don't need to listen and have 57 meetings with lobbyists representing the industry. This is black and white. taxpayer dollars be spent on sugary drinks and junk food that's making our kids sick? Absolutely not. Does that mean we shut them down? Does that mean? No, of course not. But it just means we realign and we spend the dollars where they need to be spent.

We reform and hopefully we make America healthy again.

That's exactly right. On both sides. I'm not casting aspersions.

It's not. It's just... It is an entire industry that has been built around, this is the problem when the government gets too big. This is world history. Greece, Rome, Spain, France, every great world power has buckled under the weight of a government that hands out the largesse, that everyone's got their hand in the pot, and they buckle, and that's how they lose their place in the world.

And that is what, listen, I sincerely believe that without Donald Trump coming down that escalator, and listen, there were 17 guys and one girl, I think, running that, you know, in 15 when he did that. I was not the smart one that said, oh, there's the game changer. That's him. I was like, oh, I love that person, and I've known him forever. They're going to be so great.
