DC Dysfunction Tests Travelers’ And Voters’ Patience

from The Fox News Rundown · host FOX News Podcasts

As the Easter travel season kicks off, many Americans are finding themselves stuck in long airport lines while Congress has departed for a two-week recess. The Department of Homeland Security remains caught in a funding standoff that has left TSA agents working without pay for over 40 days. Florida Republican Congressman Mike Haridopolos joins the Rundown to explain why he is requesting his own pay be withheld in solidarity with these workers and breaks down the House plan to fully fund DHS while policy debates continue. Plus, he previews a historic week for the Space Coast with the Artemis II mission, and the effort to put the U.S. back on the moon. After the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001, New York was searching for hope. Just days later, with smoke still rising from Ground Zero, Major League Baseball resumed its season. Former New York Mets relief pitcher John Franco joins the Rundown to discuss how nine innings and the crack of a bat became the heartbeat of a recovering city. He also shares how he has continued to honor first responders since 9/11 and discusses the new FOX Nation documentary, “Never Forget: How Baseball Helped New York Heal.” Plus, commentary by Joe Concha, FOX News contributor  PHOTO CREDIT: ASSOCIATED PRESS Learn more about your ad choices.
