So are you satisfied that there's no threat to the public right now?

I mentioned at the outset, Dr. Bhattacharya, that at the NIH, you have a huge budget, $48 billion, about $48 billion. The president has asked you to try and trim things. His proposed budget tries to cut things down to, I believe, around $30 billion. You can, of course, correct me if I'm wrong. But that's a lot of money.

And one of the things we've discovered about huge pots of government money with little accountability is that there's often a lot of corrupt interests trying to guide that money. As the NIH director, how much pressure have you discovered from various U.S. senators and congressmen who are trying to have you serve their various pet projects rather than the scientific interests of the public?

All right. Well, Dr. Bhattacharya, I'd be remiss if I escaped this interview without asking you about what other things you discovered that have shocked you while you've been in the job. You mentioned, of course, what's going on at Fort Detrick. Shocking enough to hear that a lover's quarrel resulted in a potential massive, massive problem there. What else has shocked you that you've discovered?

What are you finding?

Yeah. Well, that's a consistent theme in your life. Anytime you do anything, Dr. Bhattacharya, the media is attacking you, which I think means you're over the target. Thank you, Dr. Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health. I'm so grateful that we got some time with you today. I look forward to talking to you again in the future. Best of luck, sir.

Great stuff. Great stuff out of Dr. Bhattacharya. Thanks again, Doc, for doing that. That's a really big deal. Great to have him with us. We'll have him back. I want to talk to all these health officials because they really, really do matter getting to the bottom of all of this.

And I know he's got a lot of sophisticated ideas, a lot of great thoughts on these mRNA vaccines and how out of control they are and we shouldn't be doing this to the kids. All stuff that he said before, but we'll have him back to talk more about that because he's really good on that subject. Before we go today, I've got a couple of other things I want to share with you.
