Very impressive. Number one is you'll be impressed with this guy If you sit down with him, you're impressed with his intelligence. Next, health and human services, which is what he's going to run, it says health. He cares about health. He doesn't care about, he's not focused on, oh, how much do doctors make? How much do hospitals make? How much do insurance companies make?
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
Pharmaceutical companies. He's saying, how do I keep you healthy? So you don't need any of these services. That's what he's going to focus on. So I think he's going to do a fabulous job. I'm a big supporter of this individual, and I think he's going to do a good job. I look forward to doing everything I can to get his confirmation accomplished as quickly as possible so he can get there.

And he's putting together a great team of people. I think Dr. Oz is going to do a great job running CMS. So these are guys that are serious people. They care. They're thinking about how do you keep you healthy? As an American, that's what you want.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
Well, we talked about vaccines and the book he wrote, he said the first sentence says, I support vaccines. The last sentence was, I support vaccines. But here's what he wants. He supports vaccines, but he wants you, the American public, to be more informed so you can make an informed decision whether you should get a vaccine or whether your child should get a vaccine.

And somebody should be held accountable if something goes wrong. So I think he's going to do a great job. That's what I want. I've run the largest company ever of any U.S. Senator, and the largest company I ran was a big hospital company. And guess what I try to do? Get people good information so they can make good, informed decisions. So that's what we all want.
The Charlie Kirk Show

I always tell everybody, I love my mom. I hated being told what to do. I said, just give me the information. I can make a good decision. So I think he's going to do a great job.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
Absolutely. I mean, what we want to do is we want people to be healthy. We want their kids to be healthy. We don't want to have more people in the hospital, more people on drugs. We want them to eat healthy foods. We want them to exercise. We want to make sure that if you do need service, you have the right and the ability to get the service you need. But that's not the first line of defense.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
The first line of defense is we're going to figure out, he's going to put effort on how do we keep all Americans healthy. And so I think he's going to do a great job. We talked about that. We talked about vaccines. We talked about the people he's surrounding himself with. I was very, very, very impressed.

Well, I've not heard of any Democrats going to vote for him. You would think they would. His family is a well-respected Democrat family in this country. So you would think they would, but I've not heard any Democrat come out and say they support him. They should because whether you're Republican or Democrat or independent, you should want what he wants. He wants you to be healthy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
He wants you to make informed decisions. How difficult is that? No one questions his intelligence. No one questions his honesty. So this is exactly the type of person you want to serve in the federal government. And I'm glad that Donald Trump, one, what he supported Donald Trump in the election. And number two, that Donald Trump supports him and nominated him for HHS secretary. He'll do.

And so what it's just think about is he's going to think about your health. Isn't that something nice for a change? Not about how somebody makes more money off of health care. Or like Fauci gets royalty. I mean, think about it. A federal worker, Fauci, got royalty payments for something he... monitored. I mean, this is crazy, but you won't see Bobby Kennedy doing that.

I believe every Republican is going to vote for Pete. And here's the reason why. Pete is somebody that, like I did, I joined the service. I joined, uh, during Vietnam. Uh, he joined, uh, during the, uh, the Middle East wars. He went to Iraq. He went to Afghanistan. He led troops. Um, in harm's way, all right? And he worked his butt off to keep them safe. He knows of families that lost loved ones.
The Charlie Kirk Show
"The Left Wants America Ruined By Foreign Criminals."
He knows of people that were injured. That's exactly the type of person that you want. And here's why. You want somebody to run the Department of Defense that says, oh, he doesn't just willy-nilly want to send troops all over the world, put our men and women in harm's way. He knows they need to have the right resources to protect themselves.
The Charlie Kirk Show

He knows the importance of meritocracy versus wokeness because he lived it. That's exactly the person that you want to run Department of Defense. So I'm glad that he was nominated by Donald Trump. I think he's clearly going to be confirmed, and he's going to do a fabulous job.
The Charlie Kirk Show

He told a story. He told the story of somebody that joined the service to defend the freedom of this country. He told the story of being in combat. He told the story of after he got out, he helped veterans across the country. So here's a guy that is the exact type of guy you want. Smart, hardworking, knows what it's like to serve. was willing to serve, and now will go and served in battle.

So I think the difference is he told his story. Instead of the media telling his story, he told his story. He's been around. He went around the Capitol. He met with senators. And everybody I know has supported him, and I believe that he will get 100% of all Republican senators.
