Rand Paul

The Tea Party movement got even, I think, bigger than my father at some point and became this bigger movement, but it was still talking about Constitution and balanced budgets. We elected a lot of people in 2010.

And unfortunately, we didn't get the things accomplished because we didn't have enough votes or some of the people turned out to not be as faithful to the Constitution as we would have hoped. The MAGA movement's a little different. It's more centered on the person of Donald Trump. It has many conservative aspects.

It's why when the subject of like doge checks has come up, I've said, well, why don't we talk about that after we balance the $2 trillion we're in the hole this year, and then maybe after we've paid back the $36 trillion, then we can talk about rebates. But absolutely, we shouldn't be talking about anything about that until we actually can balance an annual budget.

You know, as far as the people that I think are incredible and the best, I would probably say, and they're both physicians too, so I'm kind of biased, you know, Marty McCary at FDA and Jay Bhattacharya at NIH are, I think, incredible disruptors, but also just, you know, very, very talented people. Both of them have, I think, about... 200 peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals.

too much corporate influence, and corporations have influenced the regulations for their profit, and that a lot of the science that comes out of government, people want to say, oh, this is objective science, but it's actually corporate science because it's done at the behest of large corporations making billions and billions of dollars. Those two I'm quite fond of.

On the foreign policy side, Tulsi Gabbard is somebody who believes, I hate to characterize other people's beliefs, but I think agrees with me that the intelligence agencies have gotten too much power, too much secrecy, and that some of that has been directed inwards towards American citizens instead of outward towards our enemies.
