Description

Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan is out and will withdraw from the nomination process to be permanent Defense Secretary after it was reported by USA Today that the FBI is examining a 2010 domestic fight between Shanahan and his former wife, where accounts differ as to who the aggressor was. Army Secretary Mark Esper will take over for Shanahan.  Tom Vanden Brook, Pentagon correspondent for USA Today joins us for all the details.

Next, President Trump in a tweet signaled that mass immigration arrests are starting next week.  It was a plan that was being formulated, but the operation was not imminent.  The arrests will target individuals who have final deportation orders and will include families. Maria Sacchetti, immigration reporter for the Washington Post, details what we know about the plan.

Finally, the future of food delivery may be starting this summer and Uber wants your next Big Mac to be delivered by drone.  The food delivery business is expected to be $76 billion in 2022 and Uber is betting that drone deliveries will be a big part of that, which could even change the way kitchens operate.  Kate Krader, food editor at Bloomberg News, was at the first test flight and will tell us how it all works.
