On this Memorial Day weekend, we'll take a look at some American traditions and the challenges those traditions face in the modern era. As a late May tornado rampage continued overnight, with intense twisters touching down in at least three states. We ask Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg how severe weather exacerbated by climate change will impact what's expected to be a busy summer travel season. Plus, we’ll have an update on immigration: border crossings for this time of year are atypically down. But the push for border reforms continues. We'll talk to Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy and Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales. And on this Memorial Day weekend we have a bipartisan conversation with two veterans in Congress, Rep. Pat Ryan and Rep. Mike Waltz, on their annual tribute to fallen soldiers at the Vietnam Memorial.
