And so what you're not hearing in the mainstream media is that there was a 100% increase in the number of FDA employees since 2006.

We had 9,500 employees at the FDA in 2006. Oh, wow. And so when you report that there were cuts and you don't report that there was 100% increase in employees in the preceding years, that the number of employees doubled in the preceding years, that is misleading reporting.

There were no cuts to scientists, reviewers or inspectors or law enforcement and my goal is to make sure that every one of those people has all the resources they need to do their job well. Now cuts are never perfect and so we have done an assessment and there are some individuals that we have invited back.

There were a couple people who were taking the early retirement, and we were told of their sort of how well they performed here, and we encouraged them to stay. But to not report that the agency has doubled since 2006 before this cut, in my opinion, is not telling the whole story. No, it's dishonest. It's dishonest.

Yeah, I was in that room. Nobody got up and walked out. Now, we did stream it, so if somebody was watching it in their office and got up to go to the bathroom during the speech, maybe that constituted getting up and walking out. I don't know. I was in that room, and there was incredible energy in that room because he talked about how agencies that are set up to defend public safety

sometimes become captured by the organizations that they are set out to regulate. And he talked about the EPA has had a history where they have cycled and at times have been captured by the industry.

And of course, you're going to hear a clip or a phrase pulled out out of context. But I was in that room. Nobody walked out. It was incredibly a strong message. The FDA is strong. And we're going to continue to be strong. And that's because we believe in the scientists. How's your relationship with Bobby Kennedy? It's good.
