TSA Worker Pay, ‘No Kings’ Rallies, Savannah Guthrie’s Return and more

0:00From CNN, I'm Erin Mathieson, with the five things you need to know for Friday, March 27th. So after the Senate worked all night to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, accept ICE and Border Patrol, and President Trump moved to pay TSA workers through executive action, the question is, how fast will these security agents get paid? Show back up to work and get some of these crazy wait times down. No surprise, the picture in Washington is muddy at best. The Senate package still has to get voted on by the House, signed by Trump, and it's unclear exactly when all of that will happen. So where does the sleep travelers in the meantime? In the case of Diane Drummond at LaGuardia, New York, pissed off. Everybody's affected by this. It's ridiculous. Congress needs to do their job, stuff fats in around and mess it up everyone's lives. The CNN's Ed Levandera is at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport, where he's been seeing lines that stretch outside of the terminal. So Ed is all that news in Washington helping things there at all.

1:03The situation here is absolutely not getting better. We are seeing even despite officials here at the airport saying that some 32 additional TSA staff have been sent to this airport. Despite the ICE agents being here, there's still no significant difference in the change of lines. And what stands out to me is the lengths that people are doing or going to to make sure that they don't miss their flights. In many cases, they're showing up seven to eight hours ahead of their scheduled flight time and just to make sure that they don't miss their flight. More news coming up, including some of the big decisions facing President Donald Trump. The Iranian Red Crescent says at least 1900 people have been killed in Iran since the war began. And strikes across the Middle East continued overnight. State media in Iran reported deadly attacks in multiple cities, as Israel promised to quote escalate and expand their response. Oil prices continue to fluctuate because Iran has basically closed the strait of

2:04her moves. And CNN's Elena Trin says President Trump is now facing a big decision. When you look at what the different internal discussions have been, the different draft plans for moving forward with this war, you know the ability for them to be able to reopen the strait and effectively neuter the Iranian regime's ability to continue this war on their end. Almost all of them would require a significant number of ground troops being deployed. And that is something that we know the President and many people inside the White House have really been wary of. Meanwhile Secretary of State Marco Rubio still receives for the first time since the war began. He's attending a meeting of G7 foreign ministers. European leaders are expected to call on him to de-escalate the situation. Now, President Trump has complained that NATO allies have not stepped up to help in the war. Although some G7 and NATO countries have said they would discuss possible plans to help reopen the strait of her moves, Rubio also spoke with Ukraine's foreign minister on the

3:04sidelines of the meeting. Frustration with the Trump administration is servicing across the political spectrum today. Some CPAC attendees are voicing concerns ahead of day two of one of the biggest annual gatherings of conservatives. This isn't what I voted for. What I voted for was domestic policy change at home and realistic foreign policy. The event is exposing a growing divide between GOP leaders and some of their base as midterm elections approach. CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp says there will be quote a lot of conversations about the consequences of the war with Iran, especially if Republicans lose the House and Senate in the fall. Meanwhile, millions are expected to voice their discontent with President Trump's policies tomorrow, which also include issues like the war with Iran and higher costs of living. More than 3,100 no-kings protests are planned around the country. Coming up, Savannah Guthrie has announced the official date she's coming back to NBC's today's show. Stick around.

Guthrie opened up about the impact of the search for her 84-year-old mother Nancy, who's been missing now for two months. Eighth is how I will stay connected to my mom. God is how I'm holding hands with my mom. And I won't let sadness win for her.

5:09Authorities and Tucson still don't have any public leads in the case despite a mountain of tips, purported ransom notes and video of a possible intruder outside of Nancy Guthrie's home. Let'll do it for us. Our next episode drops tonight. Take care. I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. 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 healthcare organizations. In my opinion, what it really does is gives us a collective language to talk about women's healthcare innovation and the tools that are out there so that we can take control of our healthcare experiences and know how to advocate for ourselves in a system that's probably not

6:14been designed to advocate for us. Listen to CNN's Terms of Service wherever you get your podcasts.
