Rand Paul

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.

Very smart, but also want to reform and fix some of the problems in government. Some of the problems they see, it's interesting, if the left were more open, they might find common ground, is that I think a lot of those folks, including myself, see

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.

In the first administration, often the president would call me and he would usually say to me, well, they told me to call you. I don't think you're going to change your mind. Do whichever you think's best. But you know, the thing is we had a good relationship. So when it came to political questions, like impeachment. And if it comes to that, again, I'll be his strongest defender.

The second impeachment, I think I largely derailed on day one by pointing out that it's not constitutional or not expected to impeach someone not in office. It's a special kind of trial for an officeholder. It isn't, you know, I can't impeach you. I can't impeach people that are outside of government. And so I will again, and I think they understand that, and we agree when we can,

But I think it would be wrong to be elected by an entire state and to be a lapdog and not to voice an opinion, particularly like on the question of tariffs, because all the feedback I get home from business is they don't want the tariffs. I actually wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't mention to the public and to the president also the inconsistency with conservative policies.
