Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. And we are at the FDA today speaking with the new commissioner, Dr. Marty McCary. I got to tell you, it was freaky walking into this building because they've been so demonized.
They've demonized themselves over the whole COVID regime and the craziness of the past five years to walk in here and look around. These are some of the people who participated in this. It's sort of eerie. But The good news is there's a new sheriff in town, and Dr. Marty Makary is the real deal. He's a surgeon, scientist, has devoted his life to public health. He's the son of a doctor.
He's a doctor. He's at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He was performing surgery right up to the day he went in and started this job the day before. So he's had a lifelong interest in medicine and in public health more generally.
and has been very honest about things that are controversial like COVID and was an early seer on the things that the medical establishment was doing wrong and was totally fearless in speaking out against it with absolutely nothing to gain and actually a lot to lose. And that is how he became one of the trusted voices along with Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, who's running NIH.
And of course, then there's Bobby Kennedy, not a doctor, but a lawyer who is atop them all as he runs HHS. So this is Dr. McCary's first interview as FDA commissioner. And there was a lot to cover. Like, how is he going to deal with the people here who can't stand any of the men I just mentioned, not to mention President Trump?
And how are we going to actually start enacting the Maha agenda that Kennedy and Trump and others have been pushing and talking about for so long when it comes to our food, never mind our drugs. There's a lot to go over, including the corruption that has gone on here for a long time with the revolving door of people
Working here, approving drugs, and then immediately going to work at those drug companies. Working here and working with Big Pharma as they together decide whether the latest drug should be approved. He's all over it. We get into all of it. Enjoy.
