My name is Tiffany, and I'm here because Trump's administration slash mental health funding
00:12
really needed it most. And now RFK Jr. wants to throw mentally ill people into farming
00:18
camps and yank them off their meds like it's the 1800s. He's disgusted. As a representative
00:26
of Texas, are you going to keep standing by while these dangerous, backwards ideas gain
00:32
traction? Or will you finally stand up and fight for real evidence-based mental health
00:37
care that actually helps people?
00:45
Here's kind of a rub on that. I actually lead Congress in passing legislation for mental health.
00:56
Because mental health, mental treatment, cognitive instability is my main focus. And I start
01:02
with in the veteran community because it transcends the veteran space. I'm not familiar with what
01:07
you were talking about with RFK and what he's doing. And I have addressed this issue about
01:13
funding cuts and grant cuts to mental health research from mental health research. So to
01:22
answer your question, ma'am, yeah, I absolutely am unborn with what you're saying. And I, every
01:27
single day, meet with academia, institutes of higher learning to find the next phase of evolution
01:35
to cure mental health. I do that. I have done that since I left the military, and it is my passion.
01:41
So ma'am, absolutely.
01:46
When I emailed you, now you know who I am. Because I will be emailing you about this.
01:51
Okay, ready? Thank you.
01:54
Yes ma'am.
02:03
Thank you, ma'am.
02:10
Thank you, ma'am.
