From Washington: The Failings Of The FAA

All it took was one corrupted file to take down the entire Federal Aviation Administration, delaying thousands of flights and temporarily grounding all domestic trips this week. Republican Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) and member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee claims that the current NOTAM system used for real-time updates about flight quality is antiquated and needs to be updated to improve air travel safety. He explains how this outage could have been easily avoided, details the piece of legislation he is pushing for flight efficiency, and calls into question Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's ability to prevent future travel meltdowns.

President Biden visited the U.S.-Mexico border this past week for the first time since taking office, just a few days after he outlined various initiatives that he believes will manage the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country. Executive Director at the America First Policy Institute and former Acting Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf weighs in on the President's plan, criticizing his push for individuals to apply for asylum and says that the real focus should be discouraging illegal behavior and rooting out fraud in the asylum system. Chad later offers his own solutions for the crisis at the southern border and expresses his wish for the American people to hold this Administration accountable.
