We've had some amazing shows recently. I've talked a lot about how blessed I feel like I am.

0:05.7

In some ways, my life feels surreal at times, all the amazing things that are happening around us.

0:11.3

I think we feel a huge change and surge happening in America, a return to sanity, if you will.

0:18.7

But amongst all these experiences, I every once in while have a really

0:22.9

weird day. One of my days started when I walked past the TV and did, what? It looked like this.

0:29.6

Who have you spoken with in the Trump administration at this point or in the incoming administration?

0:34.7

You are somebody again who served in a Trump administration. What have you had to say to them about these? Well, look, they know my views. I've been clear

They're going to follow through on these.

1:26.0

So I was, I guess, in that moment, I realized, hey, Scott, I didn't know we were buddies.

1:30.0

They didn't know we were paying attention to each other's work.

1:31.9

I certainly know who Scott Gottlieb is.

1:34.0

And I think what he's probably most worried about is one thing we know for sure is going to happen with Kennedy is you're never going to be allowed to have that revolving door ever again, Scott. You're not going to be able to leave pharma, work for the government, then get paid even more by pharma as soon as you walk out.
