And we can do this.

We can insure every single child for a fraction of our defense budget.

I mean, this is something that is absolutely necessary

needs to fulfill that promise.

As we build towards universal care, I think this argument here focusing on the kids can really spark the kind of debate and discussion we need in this nation about what we're for, about how we can save people money and how we can ensure that we're making sure that our children, our most precious children are protected.

Yeah, I mean, look, what we can say about what Trump has done is that because of the Medicaid cuts, there are 2 million fewer kids on Medicaid and CHIP now than there were in January 2025 when he came into office.

That's what he's accomplished, 2 million fewer kids.

And that's going to add on top of the 4.4 million that we said are uninsured.

We're going to continue to see that number skyrocket.

But again, as you pointed out, and I agree with you, we can't just be talking about what we're against.

Yes, I will fight with every tooth and nail against these cuts, as I have been, and I will push forward.

But as someone who ran in a midterm election when Trump was in his first term, what I know is you got to show people what you're for.

You got to show what that vision is, what that change is.

Because I'll be honest,

Just restoring Medicaid to where it was before Trump came into office again, that's not good enough.

Again, there are over 4 million kids without insurance.

What is our vision?

How are we actually going to solve these problems and try to prevent someone like Trump in the future from dismantling it again?

And so I really do believe that we need to show the voters, show the American people what it is that we want to be pushing forward on.

I don't think we've done that enough.
