On Chuck Schumer’s attempts to derail the American people’s agenda:
“President Trump is spot on there. Look, Chuck Schumer is the overlord of obstruction. He wakes up every morning, and he’s running for his political life. He’s looking at AOC over his shoulder, and he asks himself, What can I do to mess with President Trump today? Well, this month, it’s trying to shut down the government. So that’s his goal. You know, my challenge up here, our challenge is, how do we work towards a balanced budget but keep the government open at the same time, and I have confidence we’ll do that. But this is all about can we outmaneuver Chuck Schumer here as he tries to obstruct the Trump agenda.”
On Senate Republicans’ work to get President Trump’s appointments confirmed:
“Yeah, you’re spot on here. This is more of the obstruction by Chuck Schumer. That President Trump has confirmed maybe half the number compared to previous presidents at this point in time, by something we call unanimous consent. So, we’ve had to stay late at night, work weekends. We’re very willing to do that. But we can’t keep this up. The Democrats are forcing us to make a rule change here in the Senate. We’re going to be presenting that to the American public by the end of this week, the first of next week, to be able to crunch down the amount of debate time on the Senate floor. I won’t bore you. We’ll have to get 10 lawyers in here to explain it to me, even. But we’re going to find a way to get this done and allow us to move on. And again, the Democrats are forcing us to do this. We’d like to do things on a bipartisan basis. But again, Chuck Schumer, looking over his shoulder, worried about his next election.”
On Senate Republicans’ plan to keep the government funded:
“I think you’re seeing that every day, and John Thune is leading that fight, and I just wish you could see how hard he is fighting up here for the American public as well. But unfortunately, on the Senate side, for most things, it takes 60 votes. Regardless of what you want to do or how you want to spin this, it’s going to take 60 votes to get some type of budget across the Senate floor. So, we have to find a way to work with them as well. They’re licking their wounds right now. They don’t have any leadership. They don’t have a plan, so they’re doing everything they can. And the next thing they do is try to obstruct us is this, but I can assure you, we’re up here working our tails off, fighting for President Trump’s agenda.”
On the CDC’s past priorities and scare tactics:
“Just to set the record straight on monkeypox, this is a sexually transmitted disease. And just a couple of years ago, the CDC tried to scare us, thinking, everybody in the country needs to go get a monkeypox vaccine now, but they didn’t bother to tell you that this is a disease, basically, of homosexual men. It is just that very, very simple. And my point was in the context of some of these people who have resigned along with Dr. Monarez at the CDC, who were the people who were pushing that agenda a couple of years ago. This is why Secretary Kennedy is out there saying: look, we need transparency out of the CDC. We need leadership there. It’s going to focus on telling the Americans the rest of the story, the whole story right now, and most of us don’t have to worry about monkeypox.”
On the political weaponization of the CDC:
“Exactly. So, we’re spending $8 billion a year on vaccinations. We’re forcing our kids to get 76 jabs by the time they’re able to vote. And all we’re asking is to say, look, let’s wait a second. What are all the interactions of this? Why? Why does a one-day-old need a Hepatitis B vaccination? When I tested his mom, and you mentioned I’m a doctor, I deliver babies, I’ve already tested his mom. She’s in a stable relationship. She’s not doing IV drugs; this baby has zero chance of having Hepatitis. Why are we giving that vaccination at one day of age? And that’s the transparency. I think Secretary Kennedy wants out of the CDC to be able to share that information with parents, so that the parents the doctor can make this decision together. I think that’s why she was let go, that she wasn’t sharing that same mission, that same mission of transparency.”
