I think it's really important for food security. The folks -- this is a ban against China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, folks who don't want to see us exist anymore as a nation.

There's plenty of examples of it. The Mission Act is a prime example. The fastest growing part of the V.A. budget. Why? Because we privatizing V.A. health care and its costing us more money, not less.

I think it'd be a mistake, a -- really a mistake for national security and for food security.

I think we need to take these things seriously. I think the president and I think, more importantly, the military are taking it very, very seriously.
