We are in a health crisis in this country when only one out of four of our youth are military ready. 75% of our kids age 18 to 22 can't even pass the military readiness test because of chronic disease, obesity, diabetes.

And I believe all of that, all of that now will change because of Bobby's leadership and our partnership with states like Texas. (27:39–27:51)
