| 0:00.0 | Today is Friday, March 28th. We're talking about major cuts across the country's health agencies |
| 0:04.8 | and how President Trump wants to control what's on display at the Smithsonian. Also, what to know about |
| 0:09.7 | Vice President J.D. Vance's trip to Greenland as the Trump administration talks about a takeover. |
| 0:15.1 | Plus, new exemptions to clean air rules, how Facebook is going back to its roots, and where Americans |
| 0:20.4 | can see a solar eclipse |
| 0:22.1 | this weekend. Those stories and even more news to know coming up. |

| 1:22.5 | Still, he says essential health services will not be impacted, and it's really about restructuring |
| 1:27.2 | and becoming more |
| 1:27.9 | efficient. Well, the union that represents many HHS workers says the idea that 20,000 job cuts |
| 1:33.6 | won't be harmful is preposterous, and it's promising to fight back. So, stay tuned. |
