Summary

On Thursday, a shake-up in the President’s cabinet: after it was announced that Mike Waltz would no longer serve as Trump’s National Security Advisor, the President announced he would tap Waltz as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Now, Secretary of State Rubio will reportedly take up the role of interim NSA to the President, as many speculate the decision to relieve Waltz and several NSC staffers stems from the Signal group chat leak weeks ago. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the Waltz news and breaks down several different Supreme Court cases. The REAL ID Act was enacted in 2005, several years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, after it was discovered that the hijackers used California IDs to board the planes. Now, nearly two decades later, the deadline to obtain a REAL ID is approaching. Starting May 7, Americans will need a REAL ID (or a passport) to fly domestically or enter government buildings. As the deadline draws nearer, many people are left feeling confused and unprepared for this new requirement. Adam Stahl, the Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Administrator at the Transportation Security Administration, joins us to explain the reasons behind this requirement and what individuals need to do to comply. Don't miss the good news with Tonya J. Powers. Plus, commentary from the host of the “Kennedy Saves The World” podcast, Kennedy. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices.

0:28.0	So there's no way the president would send him to the U.N.

1:16.3	cabinet members regarding the details of an attack on the Houthis in Yemen after months of
