that are killing americans right now as well as the toxins that they're adding to it as well so when you once you get to me uh your health care providers maybe impact 10 or 20 percent of your health outcomes genetics is about 10 percent 70 percent is determined by what you eat and by your environment and that's what we want to impact and we'll and then we'll start bringing down this incidence of chronic disease think about this a third of our adolescents are pre-diabetic a third
20% of our youth, of our children, are on a prescription drug medicine. We'd love to come back and talk about mental health and especially the young kids, young adults under the age of 30 sometime. But there's a huge opportunity here for us.
I think so. I think it is a super accelerated pace. I think that's what we certainly are focused on here in the Senate is implementing President Trump's agenda. And it's going to start with these nominations. And you go through that list. I think that all that list should probably sail through this. And just to stop a second, Pete Hegseth has been a little bit controversial recently.
I sit down with Pete. He's an incredible communicator, and I'm telling you, he's going to be the best recruiter for the military we've ever seen. My son, my youngest son, just returned from active duty in Poland the week before, and he happened to be in the office the day that Pete was coming through. And Pete grabbed him. They sat down and talked for 10 or 15 minutes about today's army.
And they'd still be talking if I didn't say, hey, hey, I'm the senator here. I got some questions for Pete as well. Recruiting is a big darn deal right now in the military. We need to improve the quality of the young men and women joining the military. That goes back to my make America healthy again as well. But I'm so excited for Pete. He's going to be a game changer.
He's going to stand up to the DEI issues. He's going to go back to those. So where are the efficiency opportunities? Why are we spending $100 billion, $200 billion in Ukraine? Is that the right place to be spending the money? I'm super excited about him. I think those other ones that you mentioned are, I'd say, an autopilot, but there's some really good candidates with very minimal controversy.
Yeah. You know, I think about I used to coach a lot of little league sports. And one thing I couldn't do was make my players faster or jump higher, at least not too much. So there needs to be a level of talent, a physical fitness of our people entering the military. And I say physical fitness, their mental fitness as well. We've been we're at all time lows for recruiting for a lot of reasons.
I mean, I my son, I shouldn't use my son on this example. Many people are hesitant to join the military right now because of the DEI issues. And then the transgender surgeries, the military paying for transgender surgeries. Look, today's military has to go through some drastic cultural changes. The numbers for recruiting are at an all-time low. And we just can't. That's where it starts.
It starts there at the base. Much like the Republican Party, it starts with the base. The same with the military. It starts at the base, those people that are entering the military. So many of the recruits, I don't have the exact number in front of me, are children or grandchildren. My son, everybody from my family, every generation from my family since the Civil War has had somebody that served.
I served, my dad served, my brother served. But many of those people are telling their children not to go to the military. We've got to change that.
Yeah, Charlie, not to circle back, but I think it's important that we organize and prioritize, that we stay locked in on this smaller legislative agenda right now. But we can't focus just on the reconciliation bills, which you've alluded to. We also need to take into account that government funding ends March the 14th, and we've got a debt ceiling facing us as well.
So behind all this, one of the things I'm focused on is a budget bill that would require – Congress to do a real budget and then have sticks as well as carrots that they don't do it. So one of my one-off piece of legislation is the budget bill, but I just can't stress enough, we need to stay locked in on President Trump's agenda. He ran on prosperity and security.
And if you really push them, I think you'd say, look, I mostly ran on security. So let's lock in on that bill. Let's give them the money to secure the border. It's going to be very expensive to hunt down 400, 500,000 criminal aliens and then put them in a prison and then ship them out. So, you know, those are those are some of the issues that I'm focused on.
Whatever we can do to roll back regulations or something called a congressional review action that we can go back to. and try to lock in and roll back a lot of these Biden overreach opportunities as well.
Yeah, I think, number one, these agencies do matter who's the head of them. And I think that they need to be loyal people. So I think that'll be a big difference is going forward as President Trump's people are loyal, that they're committed to this American first agenda. I think the other lesson learned is much like being a physician.
One of the lessons I learned is try to look through the illness through the eyes of the patient and the eyes of the family, not necessarily mine. So as I sit there and see some of the ongoing arguments in the House and the Senate, I'm trying to remind my colleagues that what Speaker Johnson has over there, the dynamics are completely different than ours. So try to look at it through his eyes.
We don't have any senators from New York, any senators from Illinois, California, who care about this SALT tax. And I'll let you get into that with your listeners some other time. But it's just not a big issue over here. But Speaker Johnson has to address that SALT tax as he goes through trying to fund border security along with making the Trump tax cuts permanent.
You know, over here on the Senate side, we want to make sure that we don't leave some of the great opportunities on the scrap table. I would love to lower the corporate tax more. There has to be more opportunities. If we rush through it, we're not going to get the job done properly. So keep in mind that I'm going to circle them back.
March 14th is when the continuing resolution ends for funding the government. Boy, it'd be nice to have funded the military, give them a big boost to reconciliation. So for me, it's learning all these pieces. Again, a doctor, I don't want to know just your blood pressure. I want to know your oxygen saturation. I want to get consultations, opinions, and come up with a good, good plan going forward.
Organize, prioritize. We have to organize and prioritize constantly here.
