Good morning. It's Monday, March 13. President Trump's budget proposal this week would shake the federal government to its core if enacted, culling back numerous programs and expediting a historic contraction of the federal workforce.

A Port Canaveral harbor pilot and a Brevard County marine unit were able to save a pair of jet skiers as a massive Carnival cruise ship barreled toward them, coming within feet of them.

See a video of an Orlando teen, Haley Glass, a world champion martial artist and stunt kid who landed a role in the Wolverine movie "Logan."
