People in Europe eat healthier and don't eat processed foods; you go into a grocery store in Europe and you can't find canned vegetables—they have fresh vegetables instead of processed, pesticide-treated items that are likely bad for you.

Everyone knows the Mediterranean diet is why people live to be 100.

Article 5 of NATO (collective defense) has been invoked only once in NATO history—for the United States after 9/11—and Allied countries offered this voluntarily, not in response to a US request, showing deep commitment to alliance.

American capitalism has continued to deliver goods to people over the last few decades, though it is not perfect, and education is the great equalizer that should ensure everyone has the chance to be what they want to be.

Wages have gone up according to Senator Hutchinson, though inflation has hurt the middle class and those struggling, and people still remain shocked at grocery store price differences that haven't come down in most instances.

A president can't pull the U.S. out of NATO because a law has been passed requiring a two-thirds vote of the Senate or a vote of all Congress—all treaties require this same approval, making withdrawal impossible for any president.

President Biden's debate performance surprised Senator Hutchinson; she noted it was a longtime colleague of Trump's.

Families need support for retirement security, as evidenced by Hutchinson's work on a homemaker IRA that allows stay-at-home parents to save for retirement.

We need to work on family support and making sure families stay strong, suggesting that policy should explicitly address family structure and economic security.

The Mediterranean diet is why people live to be 100 years old, suggesting diet quality is the primary driver of longevity.

American dynamism created by the ability to risk, celebrate failure and resilience is different from other parts of the world, and this capacity to promote creativity has changed living standards for America and the world.

The United States life expectancy issue is not connected to capitalism but rather to diet and consumption of processed foods, which is a personal choice problem rather than a systemic economic problem.

Allies came to the United States after 9/11 to invoke Article 5 of NATO (the only time it has been invoked), not because the U.S. asked but because they wanted to express solidarity—showing the value of alliances.

President Trump had a Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense who understood NATO's importance, and they worked together to ensure allies knew the U.S. remained committed despite Trump's public criticism.

Global cooperation and alliances are important to America's security and economic prosperity, and the best leverage against China becoming an adversary is economic—aligned democracies and free enterprise countries can tell China they will only trade and invest under a rules-based order, not accepting predatory lending or Belt-and-Road infrastructure takeovers.

Europeans eat healthier not because of chemicals regulation, but because they choose to eat fresh vegetables instead of processed foods, and they don't eat canned foods like Americans do.
