00:00:00.500 Sources just confirmed to CNN that the United States has seized an oil tanker that had been linked to Venezuela.
00:00:09.900 Now, Russia is responding to this seizure, saying they are the owners of this vessel.
00:00:17.280 The Trump administration has not acknowledged the Russian status, claiming the ship to be stateless.
00:00:21.080 But nevertheless, you can see the sensitive nature of the situation.
00:00:23.900 Russia had sent ships to track and maybe even protect this vessel over the last 24 hours.
00:00:30.720 The United States has been tracking it across the Atlantic.
00:00:33.580 It's the same ship that the Coast Guard had tried to seize last month near Venezuela.
00:00:37.680 They were unable to board it, and the ship changed course and fled.
00:00:41.220 But now, the breaking news, the United States has seized it.
00:00:46.940 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:50.820 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:57.260 You're just not going to get a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:01:01.500 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:01:03.440 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:01:04.840 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:01:07.540 It's going to happen.
00:01:08.800 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:01:12.200 Mega media.
00:01:13.560 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:01:18.220 Ask yourself, what is my task, and what is my purpose?
00:01:22.740 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:01:29.160 War Room.
00:01:29.960 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:01:32.020 Bannon.
00:01:32.380 It's Wednesday, 7 January, Year of the Lord, 2026.
00:01:41.380 This next hour is going to be packed.
00:01:43.480 We're going to fit it all in.
00:01:44.980 I'm going to go back to Todd Wood.
00:01:46.520 So it's called the Escalatory Ladder.
00:01:48.760 Todd, you're very familiar with that.
00:01:50.700 Pete Hegseth, our great Secretary of War, that oversaw, once again, another precision military operation of incredible complexity.
00:01:59.220 Now, we are going to have a writer from the Daily Telegraph on at 5 o'clock that's broken a story that has people's head exploding about meetings that took place in Qatar with the vice president down there in Venezuela.
00:02:13.400 And she might have been kind of, how can I say this, maybe on the Trump team beforehand. 0.75
00:02:18.100 He's going to walk through reporting he has that backs up that thesis.
00:02:22.940 He put the story out and it's blowing up.
00:02:24.460 Todd, but Pete Hegseth, who oversaw that, we had a quarantine and Rubio said, he says, look, the way we're going to do this is use our naval forces.
00:02:34.720 We have, as President Trump says, a vast armada off the coast of Venezuela.
00:02:40.320 We've had it there for a while.
00:02:41.960 It's a carrier strike group.
00:02:43.860 We've also got an amphib ready group.
00:02:45.920 I think there's 12,000 to 14,000 fleet Marines and sailors off there.
00:02:49.000 We're going to use that smartly with the quarantine to leverage their oil policy and other things.
00:02:55.320 And yesterday we redirected $2 billion, I think 50 million barrels of oil to the United States of America and away from the Chinese Communist Party. 0.91
00:03:05.280 Today, Hegseth says it's a blockade.
00:03:08.900 And in naval terms, as you know, that's an escalatory, that's bigger than a, that's bigger than a quarantine.
00:03:15.940 At the same time, on the high seas, special operators, JSOC seized a, essentially a Russian vessel.
00:03:25.080 And as you said, you believe that there are special operators on the vessel even before the helicopters came in.
00:03:32.120 And a retired Air Force general has gotten to one of the war room engine room guys and saying, hey, tell Bannon and Todd, I think there's more than oil.
00:03:40.320 It's kind of riding heavy in the light and seas.
00:03:42.620 I'm thinking it's dropping off more than oil in various places.
00:03:45.520 He believes there's something else on that ship.
00:03:47.720 So walk us through what happened.
00:03:49.220 How was it taken?
00:03:51.100 Is this, is this America, is this an act of war?
00:03:54.100 We go up the escalatory ladder.
00:03:55.400 Is this an act of war against Putin and Russia?
00:03:57.660 Is President Trump putting it on notice?
00:03:59.380 We're not going to play any games here, sir.
00:04:02.120 Steve, well, the op has been practiced a lot.
00:04:06.240 I mean, this, this is done in JSOC via exercise all the time.
00:04:09.840 So well rehearsed, nothing new there.
00:04:11.980 I didn't see anything out of the ordinary with them boarding the ship via Helleborn assault.
00:04:16.360 And as I said, likely they were on board or close to it well before those helicopters got there.
00:04:22.560 As far as what's going on geopolitically, I see this in a bigger picture.
00:04:28.280 It's obviously hemispheric defense.
00:04:30.180 I mean, we're taking, it's the Monroe Doctrine.
00:04:31.860 The Don Roe Doctrine, whatever you want to call it.
00:04:34.580 But if you look at it from a bigger perspective, it may be a way to peace in Ukraine, right?
00:04:41.980 If we can get Russia and at least out of Venezuela and other areas in the, in our hemisphere, then, you know, maybe there's a deal to be made in Ukraine for peace. 0.58
00:04:53.060 Europe doesn't want that.
00:04:54.360 And I see this as a, as the big struggle is to get that war ended.
00:04:59.340 And we obviously are protecting our hemisphere.
00:05:01.560 So maybe there's a deal.
00:05:02.800 Okay.
00:05:03.320 You know what?
00:05:04.000 You're going to get what you want in Ukraine, but we want you out of these areas. 1.00
00:05:07.560 Okay.
00:05:07.660 But, but hang on, but hang on.
00:05:09.320 I, I see what you're saying.
00:05:10.360 Hang on.
00:05:10.820 I see what you're saying.
00:05:11.480 The sector, but spheres of influence, but just yesterday, and I've got hardware, I've got a whole team coming on at five.
00:05:17.020 Cause we're going to address this.
00:05:17.920 We've got to make some time to do this in Paris yesterday in, in, in, in, in, I think Witkoff and, uh, and Jared are over there dealing with having meetings with the Syrians and the Israelis to, to bring, to get that thing settled down.
00:05:31.740 Uh, Zelensky shows up, they got a sidebar meeting and, and they're in, and now here, not just about American security guarantees, but in the Germans were not there for the signing, but the French and the British have essentially signed an agreement with Zelensky.
00:05:45.860 Now the Germans are not party to this.
00:05:48.180 The Americans are not party to this, although they're leaking all kinds of information that we will be party toward to set up actual military hubs.
00:05:55.580 I guess it's called of troops, not a, not a written security guarantee, not a contract, but true near the line of contact with wherever the, wherever the ceasefire is and wherever the Russian army is and wherever they agree, maybe they back up an inch, maybe they stay where they are, but wherever that line of contact, these military hubs will be up there with troops.
00:06:16.220 With troops of France who can't afford it and the British who can't afford it, but this is what you're doing. 0.57
00:06:20.920 How can you say you can see any peace deal coming out of this?
00:06:25.060 Cause the Russians are not going to agree.
00:06:26.640 They're not going to sit there and agree to have NATO troops, including, it looks like this thing is predicated upon the Americans coming in.
00:06:33.120 They're never going to agree to that.
00:06:34.220 Are they?
00:06:35.880 No, and they better not.
00:06:37.140 I mean, we don't want to be in that war.
00:06:38.740 I've been screaming it for 12 years.
00:06:39.780 I don't think Putin will allow that, as you said.
00:06:42.480 And as I just mentioned, it's Europe that is standing in the way of peace here.
00:06:47.420 There's a deal to be made.
00:06:49.020 Europe doesn't want peace.
00:06:50.860 And as you said, the French and the British don't have the capability to put anything in there and sustain it.
00:06:56.680 The Russians know that.
00:06:57.640 The Russians will keep going until they get what they want if the deal is not made. 0.84
00:07:02.620 So I firmly believe the U.S. needs to completely back out of Ukraine.
00:07:06.680 And maybe this is a way to get that done with some kind of deal with Russia via Venezuela.
00:07:12.000 A lot of this is theater.
00:07:13.360 This could be theater.
00:07:14.180 Do you say the ship is riding high?
00:07:15.900 Maybe it is.
00:07:16.480 Maybe there was nothing in it to begin with.
00:07:18.080 Maybe it was supposed to be picking up oil.
00:07:19.900 I don't know the specifics of the ship.
00:07:21.320 But I do know that Trump is making it very clear of what his priorities are in this area of the world.
00:07:31.760 They had expert after expert on last night.
00:07:34.360 It was really sickening on CNN and MSNBC.
00:07:37.400 And McFaul right there, in fact, in the cold open, we had that loud mouth that's been wrong on everything about Ukraine for almost, what, four years, three years?
00:07:46.440 Yeah.
00:07:46.700 Going on four years.
00:07:47.960 Dead wrong on everything.
00:07:49.260 More people dead because of loudmouths like this guy.
00:07:52.020 Saying, I don't know why Trump wants it.
00:07:54.180 You know, troops.
00:07:54.860 And it's not about troops.
00:07:56.320 Greenland will be looked at to secure the Greenland-Iceland-UK gap, what we call it, that slot where Russian submarines would come out, both fast attack and boomers.
00:08:04.660 You could track them right away.
00:08:06.160 President Trump, Rubio is now briefing people that, hey, it's not going to be military.
00:08:10.480 We're actually going to make a deal with them.
00:08:12.180 It's an indigenous population.
00:08:13.800 The Danes have never put any money in there.
00:08:15.840 The people have no economic opportunity.
00:08:17.880 We're going to make a deal.
00:08:18.740 We're going to offer to buy it.
00:08:20.220 We're going to offer to buy it from them.
00:08:21.460 And heck with the Danes.
00:08:22.700 And so now they're completely meltdown on that.
00:08:24.660 And McFaul is saying, I don't know any strategic reason.
00:08:27.080 There's a huge strategic reason for Greenland.
00:08:30.660 It makes total sense when you think of hemispheric defense from the Arctic down to the Gulf of America and the Caribbean.
00:08:36.680 We've got to clean out the CCP lake down there. 0.79
00:08:39.360 You talk about the Panama Canal, control of that.
00:08:41.600 Then all the way down to Latin America where President Trump's cleaning up a place that needs cleaning up, particularly Venezuela.
00:08:48.040 What are your thoughts on this?
00:08:49.280 Do you think the Russians are going to sit there and agree to get all their troops and all their support?
00:08:54.100 Because Russia, in this regard, looks a little bit like a paper tiger. 0.87
00:08:58.660 And China, the CCP, this is a huge loss of face.
00:09:02.060 That's where they had their – I think the woman who's the interior minister, she came up today and lit us up and almost said it's an act of war what we're doing and taking their oil, sir.
00:09:11.960 Yeah, Russia doesn't have the capability to fight us in this region, just like in Syria when they backed away.
00:09:19.680 They're tied up in Ukraine.
00:09:20.980 They have to focus on that.
00:09:22.400 What is going down, in my opinion, is the takedown of a large organized – massive organized crime cartel, if you want to say it.
00:09:30.080 It's not just drug cartels.
00:09:31.940 And it's in Europe, it's in Ukraine, and it's in Venezuela.
00:09:35.340 And you're seeing both of those taken down.
00:09:37.400 And that is – I've called it many times before – the organized crime safe house in Ukraine.
00:09:42.000 They can do anything they want.
00:09:43.180 Same in Venezuela when they were launching unrestricted warfare into the U.S. 0.98
00:09:47.120 So what I see – that's the overall picture I see.
00:09:50.360 Putin is not a threat to Western Europe.
00:09:52.820 He can't even take Donbass at this point.
00:09:55.000 Yes, their military is much stronger than before the war.
00:09:57.980 Their stores of weapons are producing 10 to 1 what NATO produces.
00:10:02.360 And, you know, maybe in 20 years they could approach going into the Baltics or something.
00:10:06.280 But they're not a threat right now conventionally.
00:10:09.260 They are nuclear-wise.
00:10:10.600 But they are not a conventional threat.
00:10:12.460 And they're definitely not a conventional threat in our hemisphere.
00:10:15.360 I think Putin realizes that.
00:10:17.100 And there's a deal to be made.
00:10:18.360 I'm going to keep saying that.
00:10:19.920 You know, I want to see that bridge between Russia and Alaska and lots of commerce going on there and an explosion of wealth in North America.
00:10:27.580 That's what I think Trump sees.
00:10:31.200 Todd, there's a lot – you know, Tel Aviv, Levin, they're all getting worked up now.
00:10:34.540 They want American interdiction with the Israelis, IDF, Mossad, into the situation of Persian.
00:10:39.860 I'm saying, hey, the Persian people look right – and the Mullahs are firing on them.
00:10:43.280 They're showing they have no regard to it, the people out there, because the economy is in total collapse, as I said it was going to be, if you just enforce the sanctions.
00:10:49.960 Now, the biggest one is not being enforced, and that is doing the same thing, you know, straight to Hormuz that we're doing off the coast of Venezuela.
00:11:01.240 And I've been there in those carrier battle groups.
00:11:03.740 It's so blocked up when they come out, you can shut it down right there.
00:11:07.740 You can quarantine it right then.
00:11:08.960 Should we be doing – shutting off the Mullahs of their biggest cash flow, like we've shut off the Venezuelans from their biggest cash flow of the regime there, by just interdicting – start with a quarantine. 0.88
00:11:21.060 If you've got to go up the escalatory ladder to a blockade, but no oil comes out from the Mullahs, no cash comes from the Chinese Communist Party. 0.65
00:11:27.840 Because if you cut off Venezuela and you cut off the Persian oil for the CCP, there's not going to be a lot of big talk about what they're going to do in Taiwan, sir.
00:11:40.480 Well, I'll say it again.
00:11:42.040 I said it on your show recently.
00:11:43.380 I don't want an American conflict in Iran.
00:11:46.140 That should not be on our table.
00:11:48.900 But I am told that there's going to be some military action.
00:11:51.980 I'm not sure who's going to be involved in it, whether U.S. and Israel or both.
00:11:56.880 But I'm told that is pending.
00:11:59.760 And, you know, yes, we should be shutting down the tanker flow long before we take military action.
00:12:05.980 And there's no hurry here.
00:12:07.820 Iran's not going anywhere.
00:12:09.500 As you said, I don't think the nuclear program is as far along as has been advertised.
00:12:14.140 And we need to just continue to put pressure on the regime and let the people on the ground in Iran take care of it, which they're doing.
00:12:20.440 By the way, in western Iran, I can't pronounce the name, Anaban or something like that,
00:12:24.440 a city was taken over by the civilians and the IRCG was thrown out.
00:12:28.960 So this is big news.
00:12:30.660 It's happening.
00:12:31.140 And it just needs to continue to happen all the way across the country.
00:12:35.600 Let the Persians do it. 1.00
00:12:37.340 Let the Persians take care of their problem. 1.00
00:12:38.820 They know the problems.
00:12:39.720 They know the economy.
00:12:40.580 They know what bad guys these moves are.
00:12:42.280 Let the Persians don't need foreign interdiction. 0.88
00:12:44.300 You particularly don't need Israel in the United States jumping in there because we're going to get blamed for everything. 0.89
00:12:49.260 And you're going to get sucked in here.
00:12:50.380 So there's many ways to let the Persian people do this.
00:12:53.600 Todd, where do people go to all your news sites?
00:12:55.480 What's the central place they go for all the news?
00:12:58.400 CDM.press.
00:12:59.320 Put us in your scan daily.
00:13:00.480 We would really appreciate it.
00:13:01.620 Sign up for our social media.
00:13:02.940 Really, we got deplatformed, lost half a million followers.
00:13:05.360 We're trying to rebuild.
00:13:06.180 So that would be very helpful.
00:13:07.780 Thank you.
00:13:08.200 CDM underscore press.
00:13:11.660 We all got deplatformed.
00:13:13.300 Good way to build it back.
00:13:14.980 Having great news.
00:13:15.860 Thank you, Todd.
00:13:16.360 Appreciate you.
00:13:17.800 Take care.
00:13:18.280 So we got Comer's Oversight Committee.
00:13:23.720 We've got there's a presser starting here momentarily with Caroline Levitt in the press briefing room and Bobby Kennedy and Brooke Rollins are going to be there.
00:13:33.220 So we have agriculture and Bobby Kennedy.
00:13:36.580 That's make America healthy again using both the food and the pharmaceutical, right?
00:13:43.100 Bobby Kennedy is doing such a great job there.
00:13:44.940 Big announcement the other day on vaccines.
00:13:47.160 Brooke Rollins.
00:13:48.360 So we've announced today.
00:13:49.200 We're going to cut to that.
00:13:50.580 We've also got a lot more.
00:13:52.180 So much intent.
00:13:53.240 We're going to get it all done.
00:13:54.280 And five o'clock and take a broader view and drill down about exactly what is going on in all in particularly in NATO and Europe, Russia, the complete meltdown as President Trump tries to basically build the construct of hemispheric defense.
00:14:10.680 He's, he's, he's, he's been very upfront.
00:14:16.020 He studied closely the debacle of Iraq and he is sworn to not allow those things to happen again.
00:14:27.120 And I think if you look at what's happening, it's very smart, particularly the CCP on their back foot right now.
00:14:33.320 Huge loss of face.
00:14:34.540 Two billion dollars of oils to them redirected to the United States of America by the United States Navy.
00:14:42.380 In fact, Captain Finale will join us tonight.
00:14:43.700 Talk about quarantines, blockades, all of it.
00:14:46.180 What does it mean?
00:14:47.800 Short commercial break.
00:14:49.520 We're going to return in the war room in just a moment.
00:14:57.120 If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt?
00:15:05.620 Let's see if we can help you with that.
00:15:08.160 If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt?
00:15:15.140 I might have a solution.
00:15:17.380 Here's why now is the time to make a move.
00:15:20.100 This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books.
00:15:24.280 They clean up past due accounts.
00:15:27.180 They sell a write-off to debt to clear their books.
00:15:30.460 That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in.
00:15:38.900 That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage.
00:15:44.760 And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage.

00:21:07.380 So, Trevor Comstock, momentarily, we're going to go to, I think, hopefully,
00:21:12.540 a briefing in the White House briefing room.
00:21:15.040 Caroline Levitt has announced it.
00:21:18.000 Bobby Kennedy is going to be there and Brooke Rollins,
00:21:20.440 which means it's a combination of what is really Make America Healthy Again,
00:21:24.340 the agriculture part and the food part and the medical part, the pharmaceutical part,
00:21:30.700 which Bobby's been so good of kind of redirecting.
00:21:33.660 It's the whole reason you started Sacred Human Health,
00:21:36.960 these kind of handcrafted products that you guys have done that have all the natural ingredients.
00:21:41.500 And quite frankly, have we just gotten such great feedback from the audience?
00:21:45.400 What do you got for us today?
00:21:47.680 Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve.
00:21:49.260 Good to see you.
00:21:50.440 A couple of things I want to mention.
00:21:51.820 Number one, we are still running our New Year's sale all the way through today.
00:21:56.020 So just make sure to use code 2026 at checkout for 15% off any one-time order.
00:22:02.740 Again, that will be good through today.
00:22:05.340 And then also, I'm super excited to announce that we just launched our newest product,
00:22:09.820 which is our Sacred Healing Salve.
00:22:12.160 It's already been selling super fast.
00:22:13.700 So I'm hoping that we don't have to list it as out of stock soon.
00:22:16.920 But either way, we're making sure that we keep up with inventory.
00:22:21.800 And just a little background on it.
00:22:23.420 It is handmade in small batches with organic ingredients.
00:22:26.840 And there's no artificial additives or anything artificial within it.
00:22:32.180 And just, again, a little background on it.
00:22:34.240 What really makes the remedy so effective is due to the organic comfrey, which is the main ingredient.
00:22:40.880 And comfrey has been used for centuries to support things like pain relief, inflammation, bruising, and even tissue repair.
00:22:49.040 So it essentially helps your body actually recover and repair instead of just masking the discomfort.
00:22:55.780 So a lot of people like to use it for things like sore muscles, joint pain, sprains, swelling, as well as arthritis support.
00:23:02.380 So essentially, you just rub it onto any area of your body that needs pain relief.
00:23:07.600 It's like a salve or a balm.
00:23:09.360 So just a little bit goes a long way.
00:23:11.060 But we also pair the comfrey with other skin-supportive herbs and nourishing fats to help soothe things like cuts, scrapes, burns, and even insect bites.
00:23:20.040 So it's incredibly powerful and versatile.
00:23:22.760 And again, it's great for your muscles, your joints, bruises, itching, cuts, and even eczema.
00:23:29.580 So similar to the tallow, if you have a little bit of separate or inflammation.
00:23:32.600 Trevor, Trevor, we got to bounce.
00:23:35.240 Where do people go to the website and contact you?
00:23:37.020 We got to bounce to the briefing room.
00:23:39.000 Where do people go, sir, today?
00:23:41.040 All good.
00:23:41.820 Yeah, yeah.
00:23:42.180 Go to sacredhumanhealth.com.
00:23:44.160 And then make sure to use code 2026 for 15% off any one-time order.
00:23:49.140 And let us know if you have any questions.
00:23:52.760 Contact Trevor.
00:23:53.940 He's there as a CEO that interacts with people, founder that interacts with people.
00:23:57.420 Thank you so much, brother.
00:23:58.280 Let's now go to the White House and briefing room.
00:24:02.360 The Trump administration took strong action to bar hospitals from performing dangerous, irreversible, life-altering transgender procedures on children.
00:24:13.040 The Trump administration announced funding awards to states through the Rural Health Transformation Program,
00:24:19.340 an unprecedented $50 billion investment established under President Trump's one big, beautiful bill.
00:24:25.780 The Trump administration has also worked with 18 states across the country to ban junk food purchases using SNAP benefits starting this year.
00:24:35.080 And thank you for leading that effort, Secretary Rollins.
00:24:37.920 Additionally, President Trump took historic action to secure most favored nation drug pricing
00:24:44.060 and secured deals with major pharmaceutical companies to massively lower the cost of prescription drugs.
00:24:51.280 And those effects are being implemented as we speak.
00:24:55.080 Americans are going to continue to see the result of these incredible deals the president cut.
00:24:59.720 And I know President Trump and this team behind me worked incredibly hard to lower those drug costs for Americans.
00:25:05.800 On Monday, the CDC adopted common sense updates to America's childhood vaccination schedule based solely on the gold standard of science.
00:25:15.060 This action empowers parents and physicians to make the best individualized decisions to protect our children,
00:25:21.800 while also restoring much-needed confidence in our public health system.
00:25:26.420 And as a Maha mom myself, I'm very grateful for that.
00:25:29.180 So thank you, Secretary Kennedy.
00:25:30.760 To build on this progress, the Trump administration is now updating federal nutrition standards
00:25:36.320 and guidelines to ensure that Americans have the most accurate, data-driven information supported by science and hard facts,
00:25:44.680 not special interests or partisan ideology.
00:25:47.360 President Trump has tasked two of the great individuals behind me, USDA Secretary Rollins and HHS Secretary Kennedy,
00:25:55.360 with collaborating on this vitally important project.
00:25:58.420 And today, they are here to officially unveil the 2025 to 2030 Dietary Guidelines for America.
00:26:05.580 These new guidelines are informed by the best and most reliable research on health and nutrition,
00:26:11.220 particularly as it relates to the role of our diets and the prevalence of chronic disease in the country.
00:26:16.200 They are also, these guidelines are easy to read and understand,
00:26:20.900 so every American, young and old, can access this information that literally has the power to change lives.
00:26:28.000 But these are not just an updated guideline.
00:26:31.160 These are the foundation to all federal food programs in our country.
00:26:35.980 These new guidelines are going to update the food that is served to America's children in our public schools,
00:26:41.600 to the plates that are served to our great men in uniform, in our military,
00:26:46.440 our veterans, and the food that they are consuming at the VA.
00:26:49.960 And these new guidelines are also going to impact nutritional programs for the needy in our country,
00:26:55.300 such as WIC and Head Start.
00:26:57.480 Unfortunately for decades, federal dollars have promoted low-quality, highly processed foods
00:27:03.520 that lead to scores of long-term health issues,
00:27:06.580 which means Americans have gone broke because of these health issues.
00:27:11.600 Faulty dietary guidelines of the past stacked the deck against healthy eating and food options for everyday American families,
00:27:18.180 which has fueled the chronic disease epidemic and jacked up the health care costs of households across the country.
00:27:24.780 This failed approach in our public health system ends today.
00:27:28.160 When these guidelines are followed, Americans will be saving themselves thousands of dollars.
00:27:34.260 If we want to cut health care costs in our country, we must become a healthier country.
00:27:39.860 According to the CEA, poor diet is the root cause of obesity,
00:27:44.060 which accounts for $400 billion in medical spending each year.
00:27:48.720 A healthier America will lead to a more affordable America.
00:27:52.520 The new dietary guidelines from the Trump administration will ensure federal dollars go to real food
00:27:57.540 to improve public health and therefore save the American people their hard-earned cash over the course of their lives.
00:28:05.740 So with that, I am going to hand it over to Secretary Kennedy.
00:28:08.660 The great people behind me will give remarks, and then we'll get into Q&A for the officials that are here on this specific topic.
00:28:15.360 They will leave because they're all very busy people,
00:28:17.580 and then I will open it up to Q&A with the rest of you on the rest of the news in the world.
00:28:21.980 So thank you, and we'll start with Secretary Kennedy.
00:28:24.140 Thank you, Caroline.
00:28:24.860 Thank you.
