00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:03.359

<v Speaker 1>love Jay Ratlif. I heard media aviation expert good Man

<v Speaker 1>he is, and I love our conversations. Welcome back, my

13
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>dear friend. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas to you and.

14
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 2>The same to you. Yeah, Joe can track me down

15
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 2>any part of this planet that I happen to be on,

16
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 2>he finds it.

17
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:50.439
<v Speaker 1>I know he's good at that, is it?

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

19
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Anyhow real quick here, fed announced the raid cut and

20
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>it sounds to me like it's going to be one

21
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.439
<v Speaker 1>of few. It looks like what they they're suggesting. Maybe

22
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>possibly two next year, but maybe not. And somebody apparently

23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I get the impression they're ignoring the ongoing inflationary reality

24
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>we're dealing with. I mean this, all this stuff is

25
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>like the peace of God, specifically the Federal Reserve itself.

26
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 1>But I know you are a stock trader extraordinaire daytrade

27
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>fun dot com find out what he's all about. What's

28
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>your take on this?

29
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, everyone expected pretty much a quarter point

30
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>interest rate cut. We got that. The problem was some

31
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of the inflationary data for the last two months has

32
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 2>been trending up. Yeah, and as a result, the Fed

33
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>chair said, look, next year, we would love to have

34
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.159
<v Speaker 2>seen three interest rate cuts. It's probably going to be two,

35
00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.239
<v Speaker 2>and it may not be that, depending on where the

36
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 2>data takes us. In other words, there's really not much

37
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>different than what he's been saying. But then, of course

38
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the market drops eleven hundred twenty three points yesterday. People

39
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 2>freak out and they're calling me saying, Jay, is the

40
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>sky falling? What's going? I said, Look, it was not

41
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.200
<v Speaker 2>even a three percent drop. It's okay. It's one thing

42
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>if you have an eleven hundred and twenty three point

43
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>drop when the Dow is at fifteen thousand, when it's

44
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>at forty three thousand. It's okay because it's like a

45
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>not even three percent drop, And I remind him you've

46
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:09.719
<v Speaker 2>got to be over seven percent to hit the historic

47
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>list of the top twenty worst days on the Dow.

48
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 2>So I said, the pre market this morning's up about

49
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>three hundred points on the Dow. That's good. Comm seems

50
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>to be restored. But it's all about the FED and

51
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>all about the optimism. And of course the challenge for

52
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Jerome Pound the FED is going to be when Trump

53
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.639
<v Speaker 2>lights the fuse to this economy next year, how are

54
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>they going to have to respond to try to stay

55
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 2>ahead of things then, Because I think once energy and

56
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>a lot of other things are really unleashed, we're going

57
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to see a lot of job creations and a lot

58
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.960
<v Speaker 2>of really good things happen to the economy. And if

59
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 2>that's the case, it can be very interesting to see

60
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 2>where things go. And as long as they can not

61
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>let the national debt continue to go up, I'll be

62
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>rather happy with it.

63
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'd like to think that you like me, are

64
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 1>excited about the entire idea of the doge concept, and

65
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>that Vive Graham is swimming and Elon Musk might actually

66
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 1>get something accomplished along those lines.

67
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, Donald Trump showed us what a businessman and the

68
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>White House can do round one and it was a

69
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.719
<v Speaker 2>good thing. And I think the more of that mindset

70
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>we have is good. And you know, the Democrats won't

71
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.319
<v Speaker 2>won't necessarily agree with this, but it's the Donald Trumps

72
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:22.479
<v Speaker 2>and these kind of individuals that should encourage a lot

73
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 2>of the non political kind of people to have hope

74
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>that we can have people step off the sidelines that

75
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 2>have that business mentality that can lead our country and

76
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>get away from this career politician mindset. And I think

77
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the more of that we have, the better off will

78
00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>be as a country, because you know, it's a matter of, hey,

79
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm here for you know, four years. I've got to

80
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 2>fix this this and this limited time, let me get

81
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it done and move on instead of trying to figure

82
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 2>out how'm gonna win the next election. That kind of

83
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.719
<v Speaker 2>stuff never has served us well. And we've see that,

84
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, year after year, decade after decade. All I

85
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>got to do is look at the presidential you know,

86
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.319
<v Speaker 2>talking points that they have about in for the last

87
00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty years, they talk about the same thing. Brian drives

88
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 2>us crazy because they've not solved a single problem. So

89
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>let's get people off the sidelines.

90
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 1>You can amen to that. Let's pause. We'll bring back

91
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>iHeartMedia av Action expert Jay ratt Love to talk about

92
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>the aviation eight thirty nine fifty five care CD talk station.

93
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Right Time was with iHeartMedia av Action Expert jay Or

94
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Ratlie enjoying a little bit of Vince Garldi on the pianos.

95
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>We hadded a segment to talk about airlines and now

96
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>they've got to provide protections for passengers traveling with disabilities.

97
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>What's the backstory and the current reality now, Jay Rattliffe.

98
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm glad to see it's being done, long overdue.

99
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Again we have the Biden administration Pete Buddhacheg going after airlines.

100
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad saying, look, a lot of passengers traveling with

101
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 2>disabilities have really had issues over the last several years

102
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 2>and it has to stop. And they're putting forth through

103
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the Department of Transportation some very specific guidelines and training

104
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>requirements telling people you're going to do a better job

105
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 2>at this or you're going to considerable fines. Brank. A

106
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of people that can't walk, that are in a wheelchair,

107
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:08.920
<v Speaker 2>they can't make it back to their seat, say they're

108
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>seat in row twelve, So we use an aisle chair

109
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.120
<v Speaker 2>that's a very narrow chair. We put them on with

110
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:16.480
<v Speaker 2>wheels that we can wheel them back, help them get

111
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>in their seat, and then wheel them back up to

112
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 2>the front of the aircraft where their wheelchair is standing by.

113
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>Many times, even though airlines have hours of notification, don't

114
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 2>want to passenger traveling with this type of situation is

115
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>going to arrive. There's times the airlines don't have those

116
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>aisle chairs standing by at the gate, so that means

117
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.439
<v Speaker 2>that the flight's landed, everybody gets off the plane, you

118
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.920
<v Speaker 2>have this person that's left with the flight attendants who

119
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>are anxious to get to their next flight, and they're

120
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure out how to get this individual off.

121
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:46.560
<v Speaker 2>There have been times that these people have gotten in

122
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 2>the floor and crawled to the front of the airplane

123
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:52.920
<v Speaker 2>to get to their wheelchair so they can get to

124
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>their next flight. And when you're talking about that kind

125
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 2>of a situation, I'm sorry. That's wrong on so many levels,

126
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 2>and it's happened too many times. Plus, one out of

127
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.920
<v Speaker 2>every four wheelchairs is either damaged, loss or destroyed and

128
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:10.439
<v Speaker 2>airlines need to be doing a better job on that. So, yeah,

129
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.839
<v Speaker 2>it's long past time for the airlines to be held

130
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 2>accountable on this, and I'm glad to see it's taking

131
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>place now.

132
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.639
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the mandates and edicts on this, I'm

133
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>obviously they need to have these wheelchairs readily available, but

134
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>in so far as I guess, like seating assignments, I mean,

135
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>are they obligated to put the disabled person maybe closer

136
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to the front of the plane, or I mean, how

137
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>does all that work? Because I mean my mind is

138
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 1>racing through a multitude of disabilities that exists in the

139
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 1>world and trying to figure out how in God's name

140
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 1>an airline can even manage the number of people with disabilities,

141
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>regardless of whether or not they're treating them properly or not.

142
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, most of it just having their equipment standing by

143
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 2>when it's needed. That's the biggest issue, because a lot

144
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:56.759
<v Speaker 2>of times they don't have the wheelchairs standing by, or

145
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 2>someone gets to their destination and they're supposed to have

146
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.959
<v Speaker 2>a cific wheelchair that is designed just for them, and

147
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 2>instead they bring up this wheelchair that's in the airport

148
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>that's too small, uncomfortable to sit in. And sometimes on

149
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 2>a delayed flight, these individuals are forced to sit in

150
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>this chair that causes them physical pain for two or

151
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>three or four hours on a delayed flight, when in essence,

152
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 2>they should have access to their own wheelchair if at

153
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>all possible. And a lot of these are not really

154
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>requirements that are you know, out of the realm of

155
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, should be unreasonable for the airlines. They should

156
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 2>be doing this as a priority, but sadly the wheelchairs

157
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>never seem to get the priority, which is really the problem.

158
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Now I can tell you from a seating standpoint, we

159
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.079
<v Speaker 2>would always try to keep anyone with this type of

160
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a situation is close to the front of the aircraft

161
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>as we could, just to make it easier for them

162
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>to get to and then get away from as well.

163
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>And it's difficult many times when airlines are faced with

164
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, fewer agents at the gate, so you're understaffed

165
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 2>already the airplane. Many times you've got a lot of

166
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.040
<v Speaker 2>pressure to get that bad boy out on time. You

167
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>have all of these additional challenges for this overworked gate

168
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.800
<v Speaker 2>agent where they all with the flight attendants have got

169
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to try to make some things happen. And you know, Sadly,

170
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:13.160
<v Speaker 2>we've seen flights delayed considerably because airlines haven't done many

171
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 2>times the pre planning they need. Sometimes it's an equipment

172
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>issue where they've got to have more of these aisle

173
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>chairs and other things at the airport to make things

174
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.759
<v Speaker 2>easier for the airlines to do their job. But the

175
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>Dots made it clear that the wheelchair passengers have not

176
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.319
<v Speaker 2>been the priority over the years, and that has to change,

177
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:31.639
<v Speaker 2>and it has to change immediately.

178
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know me, my litigation will start spinning. I'm

179
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>just wondering, Okay, somebody's got their own wheelchair, obviously far

180
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>more comfortable, at least presumably because I've seen those aisle

181
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>wheelchairs as things very I mean, the aisle is not

182
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.799
<v Speaker 1>even very big for a regular person who's able bodied,

183
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>moving them from their chair into the other chair. It

184
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 1>sounds to me like there's an opportunity there to do

185
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>some damage or harm them or otherwise, you know, maybe

186
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.279
<v Speaker 1>exacerbate one of the reasons they're disabled in the first place.

187
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I would I mean, I wouldn't want to touch it

188
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>with a ten foot poll moving someone into one of

189
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 1>those tiny chairs. Are they do they have any liability

190
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 1>issues in connection with that?

191
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Mostly no, and most of the time the passenger is

192
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.240
<v Speaker 2>okay with it. They've used them before, because many times

193
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 2>you're only taking them ten or twelve feet to get

194
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 2>them from their seat up to the front to where

195
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>their wheelchairs standing bike. They were never designed for any

196
00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:25.519
<v Speaker 2>long term being seated in those types of things. And

197
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>what happens is they're put in a wheelchair and you know,

198
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>take into their next next departure and hopefully that flight's

199
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>on time, and the eye chair is again used to

200
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.440
<v Speaker 2>get them on the plane and go from there. So

201
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:40.039
<v Speaker 2>the issue has been Look, there were years that those

202
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.480
<v Speaker 2>aisle chairs we used to have to carry people up

203
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 2>and down the steps to get them onto an airplane.

204
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>You talk about, yeah, you talked about times when you

205
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 2>were depending on you know which end of the you know,

206
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>you were carrying them at the.

207
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Top or bottom.

208
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.559
<v Speaker 2>And those things are not designed for that, so they

209
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 2>teeter back and forth. And you talk about prayer life,

210
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>you better have it carrying people up and down the

211
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 2>steps with on one of those bad boys.

212
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Amen. I'm man, my mind is racing on that one

213
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>as well. We'll pause right at eight forty five. Got

214
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple more things talk about with Jay Ratleff. We'll

215
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>do that after these brief words fifty five KRC I'm

00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 1>And in the meantime, we're enjoying one more segment here

220
00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>with I heard media aviation expert Jay Rattle. At least

221
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:38.679
<v Speaker 1>I am. I don't care if anybody else doesn't enjoy it, Jay,

222
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:40.559
<v Speaker 1>although I know they do. I love talking with my

223
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:42.919
<v Speaker 1>dear friend, and so let us move over to the

224
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>danger of lithium batteries. Had a story yesterday, and the

225
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.399
<v Speaker 1>stack is Stupid was kind of funny. The story was, well,

226
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 1>it was funny in part. He had these lithium battery

227
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 1>shoe warmers, all right, So he's out, he's out putting

228
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>his his ice fishing hut up on the lake, and

229
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 1>the lithium batteries basically blew up, and he got second

230
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>and third degree burns. And I set it out loud.

231
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I go, oh, geez, I got my wife these little

232
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 1>battery operated handwarmers because she goes out and runs out

233
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 1>with a dog and she gets called really really easily,

234
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.399
<v Speaker 1>all right, So she'll she'll use these things even when

235
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 1>it's like forty degrees out, and they work great. They

236
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.679
<v Speaker 1>get nice and toasty warm, and I figure, you know,

237
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:23.279
<v Speaker 1>probably a lot safer than the old zippo version of

238
00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the you know, they put the lighter fluid in and

239
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>the old school handwarmer, and I've got one of those too,

240
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.879
<v Speaker 1>But would you rather have a flame in your pocket

241
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>or you know, a battery? And so I got her

242
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of those, and she's been using them. So

243
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 1>she heard me tell this story, and now she won't

244
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>use them Anymokus. He's afraid they're gonna blow up in

245
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 1>her pocket. But that's the.

246
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Problems battery and a fire in one thing.

247
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, so, but that that's those listing.

248
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Batteries are a problem, Brian. And it's something that you

249
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.759
<v Speaker 2>hear all the time at the airports, and passengers are

250
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>told at the gates, especially if they're going to be

251
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.799
<v Speaker 2>checking a carry on bag. If we're going to take

252
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:00.919
<v Speaker 2>your bag, please make sure that you do not have

253
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>a laptop in your check bag or tablet, electronic device,

254
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:08.120
<v Speaker 2>anything with the lithium battery, which, as you mentioned, could

255
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 2>be I mean, it can be electric toothbrush. The problem

256
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.480
<v Speaker 2>is some of these things are igniting. And the alarming

257
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>thing is we're seeing lithium batteries on flights right now

258
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 2>in the United States twice a week now.

259
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 1>In the cabin when the cabin.

260
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, the problem is if any of these fires erupt

261
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:30.799
<v Speaker 2>in the cargo compartment that we cannot access during a flight.

262
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Lithium batteries burn at such a high temperature that many

263
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 2>times the fire suppression systems that we have inside commercial

264
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>cargo jets a cargo I'm sorry, the cargo compartment of

265
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 2>commercial jets can burn so hot that it makes it

266
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>difficult for the fire suppression systems to put them out,

267
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.799
<v Speaker 2>which is why it is incredibly dangerous for us to

268
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>have any lithium battery device in a piece of check luggage.

269
00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 2>And the FAA did a survey and they had passengers

270
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>that were quickly admitting, yeah, one out of every four

271
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 2>passengers admits to packing these lithium batteries in their check

272
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.679
<v Speaker 2>bags and think nothing of it. And the thought is

273
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that could kill you and everybody on the plane, So

274
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 2>don't do it. And I don't understand the thought process

275
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>of why. I understand people forget because if they forget,

276
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.559
<v Speaker 2>they have a firearm in their carry on bags. So

277
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I understand sometimes when they don't associate a lithium battery

278
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>type of thing, but it's something that has gotten to

279
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.639
<v Speaker 2>the point where it's so bad. It's like, do we

280
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 2>ban all lithium batteries from airlines? And obviously we can't

281
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>do that because it's a part of so many things

282
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 2>in our life. But we've got to do a better

283
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.000
<v Speaker 2>job because we're having too many of these situations happen.

284
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>And all you've got to do is go to YouTube

285
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and check out these lithium fires where backpacks burst into flames,

286
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.919
<v Speaker 2>and you have different things happen where they suddenly overheat

287
00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:52.679
<v Speaker 2>and boom. It's an immediate problem. Imagine if you're at

288
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>a flight at thirty five thousand feet in something like

289
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.519
<v Speaker 2>this happens in the cabin area, which flight attendants are

290
00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>trained to put out, or more dangerously, if it happens

291
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>in a piece of check luggage that you can't access.

292
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, I mean, go ahead, give us one

293
00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 1>more reason not to want to fly.

294
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, yeah, I was about to say enjoy

295
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.559
<v Speaker 2>your holiday plights everybody. But no, it's it's just something

296
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.519
<v Speaker 2>that you know, we're used to people not reading signs

297
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>at airports. They don't listen to announcements. I mean, people's

298
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:22.559
<v Speaker 2>brains are elsewhere. And I totally get it, and I understand,

299
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:25.080
<v Speaker 2>But when it comes to a matter of safety like this,

300
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.799
<v Speaker 2>I wonder, you know, do we need to do a

301
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:31.240
<v Speaker 2>better job in the you know, the TSA line. You know,

302
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 2>we've got people there for five, ten, fifteen, twenty thirty minutes,

303
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>and I mean putting up videos that show these lithium

304
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.879
<v Speaker 2>battery things catching on fire, just to remind people, Hey,

305
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.159
<v Speaker 2>make sure you don't have one of these in your

306
00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, piece of check luggage. If you do, notify

307
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the airlines so that they can take care of it.

308
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.279
<v Speaker 2>But Brian, it's something that we're seeing happen more and

309
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 2>more often, and as a result, it becomes more and

310
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>more of a problem, and it represents a huge safety issue.

311
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're enjoying the safest ere ever of

312
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>commercial travel. We don't want something to happen from a

313
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.879
<v Speaker 2>strategy standpoint that's preventable, and it certainly is now obviously

314
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>when the bags are screened. If something's caught, the airlines

315
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.440
<v Speaker 2>can can you know, can work with TSA and they

316
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>can get that uh you know, the threat removed. But

317
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times it's not caught. They go through

318
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and represent a danger to the to the flight.

319
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Jeez, Louise, I'm just thinking this is probably I mean,

320
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you said one in four people will admit to it.

321
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I bet it's a lot higher than that. Yeah, a

322
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 1>vape thing. I mean there's a multitude of lithium battery

323
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.639
<v Speaker 1>charged items or battery items out there, and.

324
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Some people don't know that that device is powered by

325
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.639
<v Speaker 2>litium battery. They think it's something else, you know. And

326
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I get that too, because we're all not lithium battery

327
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 2>experts as far as you know power plants on these

328
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>different devices we have. But you know, we've got to

329
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>do a better job because the numbers are escalating, and

330
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.919
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's it's getting more. I mean, we had

331
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:01.399
<v Speaker 2>a flight, I believe in say Francisco, where we had

332
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:04.679
<v Speaker 2>passengers injured when a lyssian battery device overheated and they

333
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.320
<v Speaker 2>had to have an emergency evacuation of a plane that

334
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.919
<v Speaker 2>was at the gate as it caught on fire and

335
00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 2>smoke filled the cabin. So you know, these things happen,

336
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's right now, we're just talking about them as

337
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 2>things that happen during the normal course of whatever, and

338
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.799
<v Speaker 2>it's just, you know, a needed reminder for anybody that's lying,

339
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.200
<v Speaker 2>please make sure you take an extra moment to make sure.

340
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 2>If you've got a Lessian battery device and you can

341
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.480
<v Speaker 2>carry it on board with you, please do so. Just

342
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 2>please keep it out of your check luggage, no doubt

343
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.799
<v Speaker 2>about it. Real quick hub delays. How's it looking out

<v Speaker 2>there for air travel today, Jay, Minneapolis, A lot of snow,
