Hundreds of Jewish people traveling from Detroit to the pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., did not have a lift from the airport and were told it was due to a bus driver "sick-out."

"About two and a half hours after landing in D.C. from Detroit, rumors started going around the plane that there was an ongoing walkout of the bus drivers who worked for the company that the Jewish Federation of Detroit hired to drive us into the city for the rally," Jonah Seinfeld Chopp said on "Fox and Friends" Tuesday morning.

He said a representative from the federation got on the plane's speaker and told them there were bus drivers refusing to pick them up from Dulles International Airport and take them into the city to the protest.

He said they briefly got off the plane around 2 p.m., when they boarded three buses for about 15 minutes and were told to get back on the tarmac because the buses were not meant for them. They then showed "support for Israel from where we could."

Chopp would not comment on whether he wants the alleged bus drivers involved fired, but said the incident was "very upsetting." He added that he did not know the name of the bus company involved. 

An owner of a bus company that did show up to pick up some in the group said that her company was contacted by a broker, and thinks the broker hired is at fault for the mishap. She believes the broker is "making an excuse for failing to contract enough buses to get 1,000 people to the rally."

'MARCH FOR ISRAEL': HUGE PEACEFUL PROTEST CALLS FOR RELEASE OF HOSTAGES, END OF ANTISEMITISM, ISRAELI VICTORY

The Jewish Federations of North America, a non-profit organization and the organizer for the rally, said that it was the largest pro-Israel gathering in U.S. history.

The group estimated that there were 290,000 people in attendance and another 250,000 watched online.

The Jewish Federation of Detroit did not immediately respond to a request for comment but posted to Facebook that they were "deeply proud" of their participation in the March for Israel, and that over 900 Detroiters traveled to Washington, D.C., and "stood in solidarity for Israel, against antisemitism and for the release of the hostages."

Major League Baseball instituted rule changes to the game, like banning the shift, bigger bases and pick-off limits, to increase offense. But that didn't stop three of the game's best pitchers from keeping their titles.

Thirty beat writers, two from each American League city, wrote five names on their ballots, ranked one through five, to decide who the best pitcher was in the AL in 2023. A point system will decide the winner, and there is one heavy favorite.

The top three point-getters are Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray and Kevin Gausman. Here are each of their cases.

Almost nothing went right for the Yankees, but if there was one silver lining, it was their ace.

The Yankees inked Cole to the largest deal ever given to a pitcher (nine years, $324 million) before the 2020 season, and the Bronx faithful had been rightfully critical of him the last couple of years. He couldn't even get through three innings in the 2021 AL wild-card game (albeit hurt), and he had maybe the most disappointing season of his career in 2022, prompting fans to wonder if he was a product of sticky stuff.

Well, Cole heard the noise and shut everyone up. He led the AL with a 2.63 ERA (second in MLB) and 209 innings (third), and his 0.98 WHIP was the best mark in all of baseball. He also led the majors with two shutouts while his 222 strikeouts were third in the AL and fifth in the majors. He earned his fifth-straight All-Star nod in July (there was no midsummer classic in 2020) and started the game this season; he's previously finished in second twice, fourth twice, fifth, and ninth in the voting.

Of course, with New York expectations, his contract will only be deemed a success based on how many championships he wins in the Bronx (he has none, and four of the nine years are complete). But he's a stud and worth every penny.

Perhaps this came a season too early, though, as Cole is able to opt out of his deal next season – but maybe that will be added motivation to likely repeat.

Gray has solidified himself into maybe the most underrated pitcher in all of baseball. He also picked a good time to have maybe the best season of his career as he's a free agent with clearly plenty left in the tank at age 34.

He's a finalist for the Cy Young Award for the second time in his career with a 2.79 ERA, which was the second-lowest in the AL (his 2.83 fielding independent pitching, or FIP, was the lowest).

Gray has found something in Minnesota. In the first five seasons of his career in Oakland, he pitched to a 3.42 ERA. He couldn't handle New York as his ERA with the Yankees was 4.51. But with the Cincinnati Reds, it was 3.49, and in his two years with the Twins, it's 2.90. His 184.0 innings were his most since tossing 208 in 2015.

The right-hander was the ace of the AL Central champions who snapped an 18-game postseason losing streak and won their first series since 2004. With the season he just had, his free agency is going to be intriguing.

In his first eight seasons, Gausman played for four teams and was a middle-of-the-road starter, pitching to a 4.26 ERA. But in his last three seasons, something has clicked, especially this year.

For the first time in his career, Gausman is a finalist for the Cy Young Award with his AL-leading 237 strikeouts and 11.5 K/9 (which ranked second and third in all of baseball). Both marks were also career-highs (outside the 2020 60-game season). He finished in sixth place in 2021 and in ninth last year.

Gausman allowed no more than three earned runs in 25 of his 31 starts and gave Toronto at least 6.0 innings in 21 of his appearances. After allowing eight earned in 3.1 innings on May 4, he pitched to a 2.96 ERA in his final 24 starts. He finished with a 3.16 ERA, the second-lowest of his career.

The right-hander signed a five-year deal for $110 million after his 2021 season where he earned his first All-Star nod and pitched to a career-low 2.86 ERA. And with this campaign, it seems like Toronto has no regrets as he will more likely than not be their Opening Day starter in a few months.
