So that on one of my border trips, I actually saw a gate that was in the wall with the engine sitting there that it was never installed because it was not ready on January 20th when President Biden took office and he said, stop.

Well, as you might be able to tell, I really do think we need some significant reforms at all the agencies, FDA, NIH, all of our health agencies, all of our food safety agencies. Our medicine needs to be safer. And I've got some ideas there that will hopefully get fleshed out in the next term. But we need to do that. I'm really looking forward to that.

I'm not on the right committees to push forward border issues. but I'll be voting for it and looking forward to working on that as well. We will have to have one of the things that we've got to do before the end of the year is some disaster relief. It costs money.

Well, I'm not in the Senate, but I'm fully supportive because I think we need people thinking differently at the top of these health agencies because what we've had for the last 30, 40 years has been status quo, and they haven't looked at new technologies the way they ought to.
