According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Luciano Pavarotti’s music has the power to evoke tears from President Donald Trump. Kennedy discussed this and more in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
During the interview, the Health and Human Services Secretary reflected on his transition from being a registered Democrat to working within the Republican administration. He also shared what has surprised him the most about working closely with President Trump.
Kennedy mentioned that while Trump may at times exhibit characteristics that align with his critics’ portrayal of him as a ‘bombastic narcissist,’ there is more depth to his personality that often goes unnoticed by many.
‘He cries when he hears Pavarotti,’ Kennedy revealed, furthering the look into Trump’s love of music by saying the opera singer moves the president.
‘He’s encyclopedic in certain areas you wouldn’t expect like music and you know, he gets very emotional about music,’ he added.
Kennedy noted that he has also seen Trump as completely different from who he is painted as by his former party.
‘Narcissists are incapable of empathy and he’s one of the most empathetic people that I’ve met… I think he’s really the uniquely right person for the country,’ Kennedy said.
There were still members of the Trump Cabinet that Kennedy had many profound disagreements with, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio has impressed him in particular.

He even described the former Florida Senator as, ‘the funniest guy in the Cabinet.’
‘He says things that make people belly laugh every Cabinet meeting and he’s, you know, I always, I never was very, let’s say approving of Marco because he was kind of a neocon warhawk,’ Kennedy said.
‘But now he’s had this incredible transformation, and you know, I think he’s very aligned with me on most issues. On Ukraine, you know, and just the fact that we should not be the policeman of the world anymore,’ he added.
When asked about other members of the Cabinet, he notes that his Hollywood actress wife Cheryl Hines ‘loves’ Attorney General Pam Bondi and that he also gets along with her.
Kennedy also pitched Carlson on ‘Truth Commissions’ that could allow people negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine to have a platform that could see Anthony Fauci prosecuted.
The secretary most recently made waves during a House hearing where he said he wants to fit all Americans with a tracking device within the next four years.
He said the technology could help people lose weight and exercise more regularly, as well as, ‘take control of their health’ and encourage ‘good judgements about their diets, about their physical activity, about the way that they live their lives’.
In an effort to get a smartwatch, ring or monitor on every American, RFK Jr said he is planning to launch ‘one of the biggest’ advertising campaigns in history to encourage more people to wear the devices — which range from $99 to nearly $800.

The health secretary said officials were ‘exploring’ how the government could pay for the devices for some Americans.
It is the latest proposal in his Make America Healthy Again mission and comes amid his vow to find the cause of – and solve – the rising rates of cancer, chronic disease and autism in young people.
But some commentators called the move unusual for the health secretary, who has previously railed against a ‘surveillance state’.
RFK Jr revealed his plans to the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee yesterday, saying: ‘We think that wearables are a key to the MAHA agenda, Making America Healthy Again.
‘It’s a way people can take control over their own health… they can see what food is doing to their glucose levels, their heart rates and a number of other metrics as they eat.
‘And they can begin to make good judgements about their diet, about their physical activity, about the way that they live their lives.’
Asked about whether the federal government might fund the devices, he added: ‘You know the Ozempic is costing $1,300 a month.
‘If you can achieve the same thing with an $80 wearable, it’s a lot better for the American people.
‘We’re exploring ways of making sure that those costs can be paid for.’
