We can prioritize our children over ideology.

We don't have to be in red or blue when it comes to the next generation.

We could all come together.

And I'm proud to share that she already has new legislation in the works.

She's been working in Congress to create more legislation surrounding the executive order fostering the future.

So that's permanent and helps American foster care individuals for the long term, to your point, beyond this administration.

I'm honored to work with the First Lady.

It's the best work that I do.

And I will tell you this, people don't realize it.

She's the hardest working person.

She works every single day, weekends, holidays, and she drives a vision.

I think this time...

In this administration, it's very exciting because what she's doing is she's reinventing the office of the first lady.

She's still taking care of those very important activities and duties that a first lady in the East Wing would traditionally take care of state department dinners.

state dinners rather, hosting important national events, Christmas, Easter, et cetera.

But what she's doing now is focused on being impactful, helping people's lives become better.

So she's not raising awareness.

She's not just creating policy arguments and supporting policy.

She's actually changing people's lives.

And you see this through a lot of her initiatives from her work in artificial intelligence to her work with the foster care community and beyond.
