Breitbart News is hosting a policy event with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, as the Trump-era United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works to weed out waste and woke, making the agency truly work for the benefit of the American people again.
The event, hosted by Breitbart News’s Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle, will take place Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 11 a.m. Eastern. Breitbart News is partnering with CGCN and the ALFA Institute to put on the event.
“The USDA is at the center of several major policy battles facing the United States under President Trump’s second term, particularly food prices and key regulations with regard to food production but also farming policies and trade negotiations worldwide, so we could not think of a better person to talk to for our second major policy event than Secretary Brooke Rollins since she is the driving force in making decisions for the United States of America that will affect so many different stakeholders,” Boyle said in a statement on the upcoming event.
“She’s already had a major immediate impact since her confirmation by the U.S. Senate as her multi-point plan on egg prices has proven successful and Democrat criticisms we saw earlier in the year have vanished on that front, so this event will be crucial to seeing what’s next for so many in the post 100 days period,” he added.
CGCN’s Sam Geduldig said in a statement, “Secretary Rollins has incredible insight into this administration. She has been a longtime Trump ally and we are certain this Breitbart interview will break news that other outlets couldn’t.”
Geduldig added that they are “excited to build momentum after the last successful event with Secretary [Doug] Burgum.”
“Technological advancements from autonomous systems and satellite imagery are making vast inroads into the constituencies served by USDA — whether it is helping America’s farmers increase crop yields and monitor and fight off invasive diseases, or providing new tools to fight wildfires,” ALFA cofounder Matt Sparks stated.
“Secretary Rollins’ forward-thinking approach to utilize our technology gains will pave the way for a healthier and more resilient America,” Sparks added.
The event comes as USDA makes waves in a variety of ways, taking on the rising price of eggs — and successfully seeing them lowered — defending President Donald Trump’s tariffs, and weeding out the woke nonsense in the department. Rollins provided two prime examples of the latter in March, tossing “woke” Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) tomato seeds discovered at the department as well as canceling a grant that recognized menstrual cycles in “transgender men.”
More recently, USDA has taken action to target criminals abusing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as Rollins warns criminals, “We are coming for you”:
This event follows Breitbart News’s successful event, “A Conversation with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum,” which took place in downtown Washington, DC, on March 19.
