Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil Chuno.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Rory, Everything's upside down. Help me, it is difficult to
keep track. But yes, Robert F. Kennedy Junior is now
Secretary of AJHS. Sworn into a ceremony inside the Oval
office last night after that vote in the Senate. What
fifty two to forty eight, all the Democrats lining up
to vote against Bobby Kennedy's son, something I don't think

(00:26):
anyone would have expected a few years ago.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I mean think about I mean everything yesterday from a
three year ago to fifty year ago perspective unthinkable. And
then you got CHUCKI. Schumer basically saying, well, he's unqualified.
I mean, he doesn't have a healthcare background, he doesn't
come from a pharmaceutical company. Would anybody want to stay?
First of all, I think that's qualifies him, not disqualifies him,

(00:49):
but that's opinion. But I mean, would anybody argue that
America is healthy, that our kids are healthy mentally physically?
I mean, what are we afraid anybody's going to find?
We got to do something different, that's for sure, right that.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I also think people need to realize just how large
this agency is. What eighty thousand employees or something like that.
It also includes Medicare or Medicaid, and this isn't I mean,
the FDA is a sliver of what goes on in
that department.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
All right. The other thing we talked about earlier in
the hour, the deadline Saturday for more hostages to be released.
From an Israeli perspective, if you don't the CeaseFire's over.
From an American perspective, Trump's made to clear all hell
break loose, we do do. We expect the three to
be released.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
That's the statement we got from Hamas last night, saying
that they were going to move forward. They did not
specify just how many hostages would be released, but in
releasing hostages, they also said, on the flip side, we
also expect Israel to keep up with its side of
the bargain and release palaes to Beian prisoners and detainees
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Rory, have a great weekend. Don't forget the weekend dive
on your iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
