Senate Passes Most DHS Funding, Iran Talks, Missing Kangaroo and more

0:00You said you were over him, but his hoodie is stealing your rotation. It's time. Grab your phone, snap a few pics, and sell it on D-Pop listed in minutes with no selling fees. And just like that, a guy 500 miles away just paid full price for your closure and ride on cue. Nope, but I've got tonight's dinner paid for. Start selling on D-Pop, where taste recognizes taste. List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See you website for details. Good morning everyone, I'm Erica Hill. We made it. It is Friday, March 27. Here are the five things you need to know to start your day. Number one, the TSA payday. Senators pulling an all-nighter to finally, at unanimously pass a bill, to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security. That vote coming just after 2 a.m. It funds most of DHS, as I noted, that is welcome news, of course, for TSA agents who are set to miss yet another full paycheck this weekend.

1:01Not funded in this, ice enforcement operations, and some areas of customs and border protection. Senate Majority Leader John Thunes, as lawmakers, will work to fund the rest later. The leaders of both parties continuing to point figures across the aisle. Democrats didn't actually want a solution. They wanted an issue, politics over policy. In the wake of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Petty, Senate Democrats were clear. No blank check for a lawless ice and border patrol. Next up for the funding is the House, which, of course, must also approve the plan, and the clock is ticking for that. Lawmakers are set to leave town today for a two-week recess. And of course, the stress isn't over yet for TSA. Even with that overnight vote on the Hill, it's not clear when these agents will see a paycheck. Prior to the Senate vote, President Trump declared an emergency to those agents could be paid using money from the sweeping spending bill Republicans passed last year. No. 2, the 10-day pause.

2:01President Trump once again changing his deadline on action against Iran this time for his threat to strike Iranian energy sites. So that initial five-day reprieve announced earlier this week, that was to leave room for talks. And that five-day window was set to expire today. But now Trump is giving Iran 10 more days through April 6th, because he says the negotiations are in his words going very well. They said to me, very nicely through my people, could we have more time? They asked for seven. You're going to say, oh, Trump's a terrible negotiator. They asked for seven, and I said, I'm going to give you 10, because they gave me ships. So those ships you just heard the President mentioned, those are 10, what he referred to as boats of oil. People taking to the streets in the Philippines, the first country to declare a state of emergency

3:07the government there, so they only have about 45 days left of fuel supply. Number three, the IOC ban transgender women now formally excluded from competing at the Olympics. The International Olympic Committee, releasing that decision yesterday, it lines up with an executive order President Trump had issued ahead of the 2028 summer games in Los Angeles. The IOC president says they wanted to have one clear policy rather than individual countries drafting their own rules. Scientific evidence is very clear. Male chromosomes give performance advantages and sports that rely on strength, power, and endurance. At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat. So it's absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. The policy will be enforced with mandatory genetic testing. It will also restrict athletes like Kasser Semenya, an Olympic track champion who was born with differences in sex development, more commonly defined as intersex, is not clear whether any transgender women are currently competing at an Olympic level.

4:10Wait, Lifter Laurel Hubbard was the first openly trans-allympic athlete when she competed in Tokyo in 2021, there were no transgender athletes on the roster for the 2024 Paris Games. Number four, the Kennedy Center, layoffs beginning across multiple departments at the storied arts institution as the Kennedy Center prepares to close this summer for two years of renovations. Meeting notes obtained by CNN show the layoffs will impact up to 175 of the center's 300 employees. The center's newly installed executive director will be tasked with carrying them out. There are two lawsuits which are actually trying to stop the construction there. One of them from a Democratic congresswoman, the president meantime trying to claim that all these changes are bipartisan. We're fixing up the, what was the Kennedy Center? I was honored when the board changed the name a little bit. Actually, it shows that the Republican and the Democrats who worked together, it's really something we worked together. One of the final events before the center closes will be the Mark Twain prize for American humor. Despite a vehement denial from the White House last week, the Kennedy Center, just announced

5:14TV host Bill Maher will be the honoree. Maher has been a vocal critic of many of Trump's policies and has also been criticized by the left for a dinner he had at the White House last year. Trump was gracious and measured and why he isn't that in other settings. I don't know and I can't answer and it's not my place to answer. These last month, Trump slammed Maher into a social calling him a quote, highly overrated lightweight. More after this. One last thing for you, Kangaroo, on the Lamb, an entire community in Central Wisconsin being told they should be on the lookout for this guy. He's a missing kangaroo named Chesney, Chesney lives on Sunshine Farm, along with his brother

6:17Kenny. Kenny and Chesney picked up on that one, didn't ya? They've been on the lookout there with search teams. The farm's owner says Chesney actually scaled his enclosure Wednesday after some dogs started barking. While he has been spotted, Chesney's just been a little too fast for anybody to catch. 20 miles an hour for them is nothing and unfit with all the woods that are around here. It was virtually impossible. A drone company has also joined the search. Chesney, I hope you make it home soon. America Hill, those are the five things you need to know to get your day going.

This week on the podcast, Terms of Service, there's a growing category of products aimed specifically at addressing women's unique health needs. These tools and services are sometimes known as FEM tech, and they can provide big opportunities and benefits, but they can also come with some risks. To walk us through all of this, I spoke with Bethany Corbin. Bethany is an attorney and CEO of FEM Innovation, where she advises startups, clinicians and health care organizations. In my opinion, what it really does is gives us a collective language to talk about women's health care innovation and the tools that are out there so that we can take control of our health care experiences and know how to advocate for ourselves in a system that's probably not been designed to advocate for us.
