00:00At its core this report is a call to action for common sense. We've relied too
00:13much on conflicted research, ignored common sense, or what would some would
00:19call mother's intuition. It's common sense that ultra processed nutrient
00:24poor food contributes to chronic disease. It's common sense that excessive screen
00:29time and isolation lead to anxiety and depression, especially in children. It's
00:35common sense that exercise and healthy food come before prescriptions and
00:39surgery. It's common sense that not all calories are equal in nutritional value.
00:45It's common sense that over-medicating kids is dangerous. It's common sense that we
00:51can celebrate the innovations of modern life while also demanding fearless
00:56inquiry into ameliorating the negative effects of medication, agriculture, and
01:02environmental practices. It's common sense that research funded by corporations
01:07deserves more scrutiny than independent studies. I'm so proud of this cabinet and
01:14particularly Secretary Rollins and and Administrator Zeldin who again I'll say it a
01:22third time work late late nights early into the morning to make this happen. And
01:27to all the leadership from the White House staff beginning with Stephen Miller and
01:32Heidi Overton, Dr. Heidi Overton with Vince Haley.
01:37their leadership and their steady hand and getting us to the goal line was we could not have done it
01:49without them. They helped us grapple with weighty issues and committed this
01:53administration to solving large complex challenges like children's health. We're
01:59joined here by senators, advocates, governors who I have worked with and CEOs who I know who are
02:07all ready to begin carrying out this mission. This is the beginning of a
02:11conversation, a national conversation that we are going to have with maturity, with
02:16nuance for the first time in history thanks to your leadership President Trump.
02:20There is a reason that the Maha Maha Maha sided with you President Trump. It's
02:26because this administration has the bravery to tell the truth and solve
02:30problems through innovation and not anti-state regulation. President Trump I'm
02:36honored to present you the Maha report and work with this incredible cabinet that
02:41you have brought together to make our children healthy again.
