On working to prevent the ‘Schumer Shutdown’ and keep the government open:
“Look, Mark, we’ll keep the government open one way or the other. But this is all about the Schumer shutdown. Senate Republicans, we’ve done our job. Compliments to the Chairwoman, Senator Susan Collins, up there, running the appropriations committee. As Allison mentioned, there’s 12 buckets we have to get to fund the government. The Senate [Appropriations] Committee has eight of those completely done – supermajorities, but Chuck Schumer won’t let us bring those to the floor for a vote. He won’t get us any votes. This is all about Chuck Schumer’s obsession with President Trump.”
On breaking the gridlock on President Trump’s nominees:
“Absolutely. Our whip, Senator John Barrasso, is going to present that exact plan to us later this week. But right now, again, part of the Schumer delay tactics is to make us have a debate on two hours of the dog catcher, that’s about that being nominated by the President. Several 1000 nominations are being held up because of Chuck Schumer right now. So, look, we want to shorten that debate time whenever possible, for some of these, I hate to use the word lower levels, but not Secretary, cabinet levels, but the lower tier that we have to do.”
On potential risks to changing the nomination process:
“Yeah, I think there are benefits and risks of everything we do. As you know, I’m a physician. I have to make those types of decisions every day. I think the benefits far outweigh the risks. What the Democrats do to delay the game is… we’ve never done anything like what they’re doing right now with some of these nominations. By now, hundreds of these folks should have been confirmed through unanimous consent, a quick process, so we would never use it the way the Democrats have weaponized the process. And again, I think that 78 million people want us to get those nominations confirmed so President Trump can enact his agenda.”
On the leadership shakeups at the CDC:
“Well, number one, it’s not lost on me, the hypocrisy of the Democrat Party. Not one Senate Democrat voted for Dr. Monarez, the CDC Director who was recently fired. Not one of them. But now they’ve lost their mind again. Why? Because they have Trumpitis.
“And then you think about the rest of this crew, the crew that quit here are the folks that were standing right beside arm in arm with Anthony Fauci, delivering lie after lie about the Covid vaccine. You fast-forward to the monkeypox – this is the same group of so-called experts that told the entire country we should live in fear of monkeypox, but failed to tell us that, unless you’re a homosexual man, you don’t have to worry about this at all. Monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease. The group of people who quit here have made an entire career studying sexually transmitted viruses like hepatitis and HIV, and Monkeypox. All they have is a hammer, and they see every problem as a nail. That’s all they want to talk about is vaccines.
“It’s time to maybe flip the agenda, and this is why President Trump chose Bobby Kennedy Jr. Bobby Kennedy Jr is a disruptor. We need to shift the focus of the CDC from immunizations to treating these chronic problems, preventing the chronic diseases that 60% of Americans have.”
On whether the transparency around vaccines prevents people from getting vaccinated:
“Look, everyone who’s over the age of six months can still get the COVID-19 vaccine. Look, the COVID-19 vaccine is a drug like every vaccine. All you have to do is work with your doctor to get it as well. It just doesn’t seem right to me.
“I have moms, grandmas, doctors ask me, when a newborn baby is born on day one, we give them a hepatitis vaccine. By the time they’re six months old, they’ve had at least 18 jabs. By the time they’re able to vote, they’ve had 76 jabs. People are concerned about the interaction between all these vaccinations and what they do to the maturing, the development of that child’s own immune system? Does this have something to do with why we have high peaks of peanut allergies of high autoimmune problems? Maybe it has something to do with our own ability to fight cancers. Maybe that’s why cancers are occurring at an earlier age. So I think the common sense approach that they’re using is good… that the FDA is using right now.”
