s close. This is the most "dad's coming home" thing you've ever seen in your life. It's like kids, you better settle down because dad's coming home in 10 minutes. It's like he's coming home in 10 minutes solved 20% of the nation's problems. Like what the hell is he going to do when he gets in office if 20% of our problems just solve themselves? He's got Bernie joining his side. Meanwhile Stephen…

Anyway, Trump has appointed a new press secretary. Her name is Caroline Leavitt. I guess how would you pronounce L-E-A-V-I-T-T? Leavitt or Levitt? Because this will matter to the joke I'm about to make. I'm preparing a dad joke in my mind. It's very amusing but it will depend on you telling me which way to pronounce your name because one way—oh damn it. Some people are saying it's Levitt. Damn it, that's not going to be nearly as funny. Well can I give you a recreational joke that would have been a lot funnier if her last name were pronounced "Leavitt"? She would be the press secretary for the deporter in chief. The guy who ran for office promising to deport 20 million people and he would have as his spokesperson somebody named Leavitt. Now that would have been funny except her name is Levitt. Well that's no good. Come on simulation. You're so close to having a good match there. I'm going to call her Leavitt. Yeah, believe it. That's what I say to Snickers.
Well you've seen a bunch of Democrats complain about RFK Jr. and all of the terrible, terrible things he's going to do when he gets power over our pharma and medical situation. But have you noticed anything about the complaints? Have you noticed that the complaints about RFK Jr. all have something in common? What is it that all the complaints about RFK Jr. have in common? Let's see if you can spot it. What do all the criticisms about him for this job specifically—what do they have in common? They're all made up. They're all imaginary. Like every one of them. Like not some—not some. Every single one of them is made up. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. He's getting the full Trump treatment where they have to completely make up stuff and act like they're really trying to sell it with their faces.
So they say stuff like he wants to stop vaccinations. No he doesn't. No he doesn't. He wants better science so that we know whether we're doing a good job. Who doesn't want better science? They're saying he wants to end pesticides. Does he? No. But I'm sure he wants to study it and make sure that we know what's safe and what isn't. And if that meant banning some pesticides because we learned more and the science was solid, we would be all very happy if he did that. Why is that a criticism? He's not going to do it if there's no data.
He says—oh then they criticize him for not being a doctor. I don't really feel like that would have helped us. Do you think the doctors are the right people to get this done? No. I think somebody who has no fear whatsoever of anything physical or embarrassment or anything else and somebody who's been deeply into it as he has for years is exactly the right person. He wants more testing and more science. So the guy who wants more science and is insisting on more science and insisting on the good kind is being criticized by the Democrats for being anti-science. You can't get further from the truth that the guy who wants the most science and better science is the guy who doesn't understand and doesn't want science. It's literally opposite and it's all imaginary.
Now this is

one of those cases where the deep state is kind of useful. I could be worried about RFK Jr. if I thought he would be working alone and just sitting in the room making his own decisions about stuff. But that's not going to happen. He's going to have an army of scientists and experts who are trying to talk him out of it and pointing him at different studies. And he's going to say stuff like, I see y…
