Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sat down with BlazeTV’s Sara Gonzales to dish on his massive restructuring of the agency—a move that’s got the GOP cheering as a strike against decades of government sprawl. Gonzales kicked things off by asking about the overhaul she’d spotted just that morning, and RFK Jr. didn’t hold back.

“I just saw, just earlier this morning, that you are totally restructuring HHS. What does that new structure look like?” Gonzales asked, setting the stage for a deep dive.

“What we found over there is we have a sprawling bureaucracy that has all kinds of redundancies in it and a lot of administrative costs and much less an emphasis on actual mission, which is gold standard science patient care,” RFK Jr. responded, painting a picture of an agency choked by its own excess.

“During the Biden administration, the budget of HHS went up by 38% and the amount of employees increased by 17%, and all of the metrics of public health actually accelerated downward. We need to reverse that,” he continued, slamming the last administration’s spending spree that ballooned the agency while health outcomes tanked.

He laid out the mess: “We have over a hundred communications departments, we have 40 IT departments, 40 HR departments, and on and on, and we are going to consolidate those. The agency is a $1.9 trillion agency, it’s completely impossible to govern, it’s impossible to inspire, it’s impossible to have a unified mission that everybody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘My job is to Make America Healthy Again.’” For Republicans, it’s a rallying cry—trim the fat, focus on results.

RFK Jr. didn’t stop there, exposing internal chaos: “I found out that medical information that is collected by one side, they then sell it to the other groups in my agency instead of sharing it and saying, ‘How do we use this way to improve patient care? How do we use it in a way to make people healthy?’” It’s a damning snapshot of a system at odds with itself.

“We’re cutting 28 divisions into 15, we’re eliminating the redundancies, we’re streamlining the agencies. We’re going to go from 82,000 employees to 62,000,” he declared, outlining a leaner HHS that’s got Trump’s base nodding—82 percent speech approval from his March 4 address shows they’re all in for this kind of shake-up.

Gonzales couldn’t hide her shock: “It really is shocking when you hear how much they have grown, how much the bloated bureaucracy grew just under Joe Biden,” adding, “Like, are you kidding me?” It’s a sentiment Republicans echo—Trump’s man at HHS is slashing what Biden built.

This isn’t just a reshuffle—it’s RFK Jr. and Trump taking a sledgehammer to a wasteful giant, aiming to pivot health policy toward real results. Republicans see it as a masterstroke—less bureaucracy, more health wins!
