Sabrina Tavernisi

Hey everybody, it's Sabrina. It's been a little while, I know, and that's because after three years of hosting this show with Michael, I'm leaving the job as host. I've decided to return to my first love, reporting. It was a really hard decision for me. As you know, this is a very special show, and I'm really proud of the work I did on it.

I said reporting was my first love, but you, our dear listeners, and the amazing thing that is this show, is my other one. I always loved hearing from you, knowing you were out there. So, as you've probably noticed, there's been some new voices on the show as we figure out who's going to permanently step in. And don't be surprised if I come back to visit, as a guest or even to sit in as host.

Okay, here's today's show.

From The New York Times, I'm Sabrina Tavernisi, and this is The Daily. Of all President Trump's cabinet picks, perhaps none is more familiar to more Americans than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

On Wednesday, he faced a crucial nomination hearing, where a panel of skeptical senators probed his past, often controversial, remarks.

I probably did say that. Today. My colleague Cheryl Gay Stolberg on how Kennedy became the face of a movement that has railed against the very system he could soon oversee. It's Thursday, January 30th. So Cheryl, I'm so glad you're here today because you are the perfect person for this.

You cover both health and politics, which yesterday and today have come together in a very interesting way with this confirmation hearing of RFK Jr., If he gets confirmed, and that's a big if, he would be leading this vast government agency that's responsible in many ways for the health of Americans. It's called the Department of Health and Human Services.

And I think the first thing I really want to understand is how RFK Jr., who's someone who is widely understood to be pretty fringe in a lot of his beliefs and really almost, you know, a conspiracy theorist, how he came to be up for that nomination to begin with.
