In less than a month's time, we've doubled the number of President Trump's cabinet from his first term. We now sit at 16 NOMINEES CONFIRMED. That's DOUBLE the number we had at this time in 2017. This week we confirmed: Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Brooke Rollins as Secretary of Agriculture. However, we're not out of the woods yet...

Next week, we're back at it again. We’ve got six cabinet-level confirmations to go, plus Kash Patel for FBI. The Senate GOP will push through: Howard Lutnick as Secretary of Commerce, Kelly Loeffler as Small Business Administrator, Kash Patel for Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Lori Chavez-DeRemer as Secretary of Labor, Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, Jamieson Greer for Trade Representative, and lastly Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the United Nations. We won't stop until the entire cabinet is confirmed.

When we first started this fight, Democrats and the liberal media threw a fit over some of President Trump’s nominees. We tuned out the noise and confirmed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and your new HHS Secretary, Bobby Kennedy. Just like I had every confidence we’d get them confirmed, I am confident we will confirm FBI nominee Kash Patel by this time next week. It’s an honor to be in this fight with President Trump, and I appreciate you giving me this opportunity to serve.

Additionally, please watch an update on Kash Patel's appointment to FBI Director here.

I’m so excited that my friend Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed by the Senate to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Tulsi earned every vote, and it was my honor to support her nomination. Now, she has the chance to show just how capable she is. Tulsi and I have been friends for a long time. We call each other brother and sister, we’ve led workouts together, and bonded over commonsense issues, like legislative solutions to keep men out of women and girl’s sports.

One thing I'm most proud of is her record of service. Lt. Col. Gabbard has spent 22 years in the service and has overseen the U.S. Army Reserves in Oklahoma and Missouri. I am confident Tulsi will do great work for President Trump, and our nation.

As you know, I've never been afraid to get in the ring. I bring the same fight to Washington to take on big banks and gun grabbers that unfairly target Oklahomans. In this Congress, I've joined my colleagues in numerous pieces of legislation that protect consumers from corporations that punish them for their political beliefs and put an end to anti-Second Amendment activists who can't seem to understand our way of life. It's an honor to fight for our rights and Oklahoma values in Washington.

It appears bad actors in the Middle East have yet to realize there’s a new sheriff in town.

Our allies across the Middle East have agreed that Iran getting a nuclear weapon is a non-starter. Whether with a stroke of a pen, or a powerful show of force, President Trump will implement 'Peace through Strength' policies that puts an end to all this nonsense. I joined David Asman on Fox Business's Varney & Co. to explain more.
