00:09Yeah, they say that they are consolidating duplicative agencies.

00:28If they replace him with someone similarly talented, then that's good.
00:33Do you think he's backsliding RFK on the vaccine promises he made?
00:38Oh my gosh!
00:40Senator Cassidy, are you concerned about where you're going to end up if you do this today?
00:44Senator Cassidy, what do you think about this?
