Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

I mean, you know, I try to go into every part of my life without expectations and just focus on really narrowly on what I'm doing day by day.

And that actually makes me a lot more resilient because if you don't have expectations, you never get disappointments.

And so you can never get crushed.

But I would say that...

You know, I had not spent a lot of my life hanging out with Republicans.

And what I imagine that they were talking about is exactly the opposite of, you know, now I'm in an administration that is surrounded by immensely talented people and they're immensely idealistic.

And, you know, nobody—I always imagined the Republicans would get together and they'd be thinking about how do we screw the poor and how do we, you know, reduce tax on the rich.

And all they're—they're just narrowly focused on how do we solve these big problems and how do we make our country work.

And the level of idealism that I see at every level in the White House and, you know, in my agency is—

is inspiring.

And then the level of the capabilities, just the competence of the people who I'm surrounded with.

I think the thing that shocked me most was how bad the agency was, how...

Just how inefficient, how nobody seemed to care that people were getting sicker and sicker.

Nobody was taking accountability of the fact we're the health agency and yet we have the richest health agency in the world.

I think HHS is the sixth biggest country in the world if you look at its budget.

It's got the biggest budget in the federal government, bigger than the defense budget.

And yet we are absolutely miserable at what we did.

I mean we're literally presiding over this cliff.

Where every American is getting, where people are just, 77% of American kids can't qualify for military service.

And nobody's asking why is that happening.
