Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include: 

On RFK Jr.’s first confirmation hearing today: 

“What I need are those moms to call their Senators and support Bobby’s nomination. Look, if you agree with Bobby Kennedy that America is not very healthy right now, that 40% of Americans have a chronic disease. Our children, 20% of them are on some type of prescription drug. There’s a mental health explosion in our young children. So, I think Bobby just needs to share his heart. He needs to share with America why this is so important to him, and really disarm some of the false issues out there.”

On updating the United States’ nutritional standards: 

“On these food additives – I sat down with the FDA Food Czar two years ago, raised these same questions. Finally, just after President Trump gets elected, they look at red dye. The problem is they’re relying on data from 40 or 50 years ago, that they don’t update these approval processes.”

“[RFK Jr.] is right. 70% of our calories are coming from processed foods, as opposed to fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh foods of all types. So Bobby and I will work together, Dr. Oz and President Trump’s team to help make those nutritious foods more affordable and more available to everyone across the country.”

On President Trump’s mandate for federal employees to return to office:

“Only 6% of federal employees are in the office – only 6%. Second data point I would give you is under Joe Biden, he added 128,000 employees. Meanwhile, they made $250 billion of improper payments. So our federal government is incompetent when it comes to appropriations that they send out $250 billion of inappropriate dollars, mostly for Medicare and Social Security. So we need those people to come back to do their job, to be accountable. This is exactly why 77 million people voted for Donald J Trump.”
