List now with no selling fees. Payment processing fees and boosting fees still apply. See you website for details. Good morning everyone, America Hill. It is Monday, March 23rd. Here are the five things you need to know to start your day. 1. The Iran Deadline President Trump is now backing off and ultimatum he issued over the weekend, saying that he would obliterate Iran's power plants if they refused to open, re-open the straight of her moves. Iran had said it would retaliate by completely closing the waterway and hitting U.S. interests in the region. Now, President Trump posting to social media, the U.S. had quote, very good and productive

conversations over the weekend, saying he's instructed the Defense Department to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period subject to the success of the ongoing meetings. 2. Deadly Tarmac Collision New York LaGuardia Airport will be closed until at least 2 p.m. Eastern today. After an air-Canada plane ran into a fire truck on the Tarmac during landing, both pilots were killed. 2 people in the truck were injured. The Port Authority says they're among the more than 40 people who were transported to the hospital. Just before that fatal collision, air traffic control had granted permission for the truck to cross the runway. It was responding to another flight that had asked for help with an unknown odor in the cockpit. A second later, the controller tried to get the truck to stop.

According to the airline, there were 72 passengers and four crew members on that plane. One passenger described what it was like inside the cabin after the accident. Air would do its hunker down and everything screaming pretty quickly. We didn't have any directions because the pilot's cabin had been kind of destroyed, so somebody said let's get the emergency exit and get the door and that's all jump out and that's exactly what we do. An NTSB team is expected to arrive today to investigate. 3. Ice at the airport With the wait for security lines at many airports and now stretching up to three hours because of TSA staffing shortages, federal officials are sending in ICE agents to help. Atlanta's mayor confirming the federal government notified him that Hartzfield Jackson International will be one of those locations. Borders are Tom Homan is in charge of the effort, but there are mixed messages from the administration, and that's reason questions about what exactly these ICE agents will be doing and whether their presence will actually help. Homan says ICE will be assisting in guarding exits, for example, so that TSA officers

can focus on screenings. But the Transportation Secretary said something different. We're simply there to help TSA do their job in areas that don't need their specialized expertise such as, you know, screening through the X-ray machine, not training that. We won't do that. They run those same type of security machines at the southern border, right, packages come through or people come through, they run similar assets. More than 400 TSA agents have quit since the partial government shutdown began a month ago, and tens of thousands are working without pay. Their union pushing back against this ICE deployment, calling it a, quote, dangerous escalation. And in terms of this, partial government shutdown, and when it might end, Senate negotiations, not making much headway over the weekend, overnight President Trump adding a new complication, posting that Republicans should not make a deal, unless Democrats agreed to pass the save act. That, of course, would, in part, require proof of citizenship to vote. It is basically a non-starter on the Democratic side.

Number four, the life-saving foam, a powerful new tool for trauma teams. Rescue foam is being described by doctors as a human version of fixaflat. So when injected into the abdomen, it rapidly expands to stop internal bleeding long enough for doctors to prep a patient for surgery. In an exclusive interview with CNN with the first patient to receive the treatment, Ronald Farms, he was in a serious car accident in Alabama. Now, it's important to note, there are potential risks, including bowel injury or unintended pressure to the chest, but doctors say those risks can actually be worth it, compared to the alternative. The side effects that we see from rescue foam usage are manageable compared to intravedominable hemorrhage, which is oftentimes fatal. By all science, I shouldn't be here. By all medical personnel, I should not be here. That's what every one of them have told me. It was a miracle. More after this. Introducing Shark Facial Pro Glow, a first of its kind at home facial.

His signature spice blend, the Max Mix, is now sold in more than 150 stores across the Midwest. He's got a following. Max West Down Syndrome was autographing bottles at a Kansas City grocery this weekend to mark World Down Syndrome Day. Take chicken pook, it's all natural, no sugar, no YMT. He just wants what everyone else wants, and he wanted to have his own company, and he wanted to be taken seriously.
