Summary

How did you enjoy your extra hour sleep? Hopefully you remembered to turn your clock back an hour as most places in America have now reverted back to Standard Time. However, there are many Americans who have had enough of changing their clocks twice a year and want to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. A few days, host Dave Anthony spoke to Republican Utah Congressman Chris Stewart. Stewart has a proposed a federal Daylight Saving Act, which would give states the choice to participate in Daylight Saving Time. The Utah congressman discussed the pros and cons of changing our clocks and explained why he thinks DST should be permanent. The original interview was too long and we couldn't include all of it in our segment. On The FOX News Rundown EXTRA, you will hear our entire conversation with Rep. Chris Stewart and hear his views President Biden's agenda which did not make our segment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
