Why The Former Education Secretary Wants The Department Shut Down

On Tuesday, President Trump’s Department of Education announced it was cutting its workforce in half. Already there have been reports that the President is seeking to dissolve the Education Department via executive order. Former Education Department Secretary Betsy DeVos calls these moves “a step in the right direction.” DeVos joins the Rundown to break down how the functions of the Education Department could be better served by other agencies and how this could give power back to parents and the states.

It has been over a month since the tragic midair collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet in Washington, D.C. Many Americans are still hesitant to fly following the crash. Earlier this week, the National Transportation Safety Board released two reports recommending that helicopters be banned from the airspace around Reagan National Airport. Former Navy FA-18 fighter pilot and commercial airline pilot Matthew "Whiz" Buckley joins us to discuss the findings and explain why air travel continues to be safe.
