Air traffic controllers miss full paycheck because of government shutdown, Duffy says

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday that "today is the first day" that air traffic controllers "don't get any money" as a result of the government shutdown. 

"The first day is hard, but the second day is even harder than that. And the third day. Because they have gas, they have childcare costs," he said.
