1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. Welcome to the podcast. It is Thursday. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,039 Today is the twelfth day of June, Year of Our Lord, 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,439 twenty twenty five. My name is Tom Sullivan. We have 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,480 a lot to go over today. There's a plane crash 5 00:00:17,519 --> 00:00:21,039 in India. Two hundred and forty two people are dead 6 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,879 out of that. We'll go over some of the details 7 00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:27,079 because it's somewhat surprising. We've got the job report came 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,800 out today from the Thursday Morning Job Report for the 9 00:00:29,879 --> 00:00:32,840 last week on first time job as claims. We've got 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,960 the Producer price Index about inflation. And we've got a 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,799 very concerning report out of the Middle East that the 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,560 State Department has told non essential personnel to get out 13 00:00:47,719 --> 00:00:50,159 of the area, leave the embassies in a number of 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,679 Middle Eastern countries. So we'll get the very latest on that. 15 00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:58,000 And then what happened just before we started taping the 16 00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:04,280 day is Christine Ohmer is in Los Angeles, Departner Homeland Security. 17 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,319 I've told you I'm not a big fan, but she 18 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,319 was doing what she should be doing. She was holding 19 00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:15,439 a news conference at the Federal Building in LA and 20 00:01:15,599 --> 00:01:19,319 all of a sudden, this guy comes charging in and 21 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,480 nobody knew who he was. He started yelling and charging 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,519 toward Christy nome Well, her security service was there. These 23 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:33,120 are DHS officers, secret Service, and even some FBI, and 24 00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:36,280 they grabbed a hold of him. One guy did, and 25 00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:40,640 he pushed, tried to push through the security guy, and 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,920 the other security guys jumped on him, took him into 27 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,480 a back room, put him in handcuffs, and it turned 28 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:50,400 out where he came out later and said that he 29 00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:53,079 was just trying to ask some questions. No, he charged 30 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:58,719 into the room. Nobody knew who he was. Maybe some 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,719 of you know what Alexda looks like. He was appointed 32 00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:11,360 to the Senate by Gavin Newsom. When who wasn't he replaced? 33 00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:13,680 Oh yeah, it was Kamala Harris when she was elected 34 00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:16,919 vice president. So it's been four years he's been a senator, 35 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,520 but a very low profile senator. Nobody knew who he was. 36 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,479 These are all security people from Christin Home's office in DC, 37 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,479 and I got to tell you, I'm not sure I 38 00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:30,000 could pick him out of a lineup either. So there 39 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:34,680 was just going to exacerbate the fight between California and 40 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,319 our nation's capital. But when all was said and done, 41 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,919 once they found out that he was the Senator. He 42 00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:45,840 tried to just bully his way through, yelling at the 43 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:50,319 top of his lungs. They had him in handcuffs. They 44 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,199 took the handcuffs off, and he later had a little 45 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:57,639 news conference outside the Federal building where he talked about 46 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,719 how horrible the Trump administration is and how they're so 47 00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:05,360 evil to the farm workers. And that's his whole background. 48 00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:11,520 He's a big well. He supports a lot of the 49 00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:16,120 Latino programs in the country, of federal programs and so 50 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,439 forth and so on. He's a smart guy. He grew 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,080 up in Los Angeles. He has a degree in engineering 52 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,879 from MIT. When he got back to Los Angeles after 53 00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,120 getting his degree from MIT, he started getting into politics. 54 00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:34,840 He was a very young, twenty six year old guy 55 00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:37,719 on the Los Angeles City Council and he worked his 56 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:42,280 way up through politics. So his work has been since 57 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800 he's twenty six, he's been a political office holder. Then 58 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,280 he was elected to the state Senate. He then went 59 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,319 from there to Secretary of State. So he kind of 60 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,240 went from one political job to another political job. And 61 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,560 I lived in California during some of those well before 62 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:06,560 before he became a senator, and I got to tell you, 63 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,520 I did not know who this guy was, but he 64 00:04:08,719 --> 00:04:12,240 was apparently a big deal in Los Angeles politics and 65 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,759 he thought he could just barge in there and they 66 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,600 did did not know who he was. So anyway, add 67 00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:24,319 that to the list of the fight between Gavin Newsom 68 00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:29,759 and Donald Trump. Now in addition to that, I will 69 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,560 get to the plane crash in a moment, because it 70 00:04:31,639 --> 00:04:36,879 is a mystery. But I want to start with the 71 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,279 Los Angeles Police chief. His name is Jim McDonald, and 72 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:47,560 he was being interviewed by John Miller, who was a 73 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,959 former Los Angeles PD and NYPD counterintelligence officer. And this 74 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,399 is what Chief McDonald had to say about. Well, they 75 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,360 try to they try to portray the protesters, the rioters 76 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,720 in Los Angeles. They's just good people that are out there, 77 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:09,720 you know, trying to support want and Maria. No, there 78 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,800 are some very bad actors. Here's the chief of the 79 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,399 Los Angeles Police Department. 80 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,439 Speaker 2: There's a core set of messages about wearing black block attire, 81 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:27,079 wearing nondescript clothing without logos, hiding your hair, using walkie talkies, 82 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,439 coming with leaf blowers to redirect tear gas in the 83 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,399 other direction. The question is what is the change in 84 00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:39,240 characteristics between these protests we see in the daytime with 85 00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:43,040 chanting and then as it gets later when there throwing 86 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,600 the fireworks at all starts. Can you quantify what is 87 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,399 the anarchist factor versus the organic protest factor here? 88 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think John you hit it on the 89 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,399 head that for most of the day and the organized protests, 90 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,519 it's people who are out there expressing their feelings peacefully, 91 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,079 generally beacon. Once nightfall comes, we start to see a 92 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,079 different group of people and among those people are people 93 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:10,079 I would describe as black block type protesters, anarchists if 94 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,959 you will, and they come prepared and they're very sophisticated. 95 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,720 They do have radio communications, they do move around, they 96 00:06:16,759 --> 00:06:21,720 do monitor police channels, and they'll create distractions in order 97 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:23,839 to draw us away from a scene we're about to 98 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,079 make arrest, so where we have no choice but to 99 00:06:26,079 --> 00:06:30,000 go somewhere else. They have weapons of all kinds. We 100 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,519 arrested a number of people last night for curfew violations 101 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800 that I think fourteen, and three out of the fourteen 102 00:06:35,879 --> 00:06:39,120 were armed with weapons handguns. And so when you look 103 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,360 at that, what appears to be one thing is something 104 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,839 very different. We've seen in those backpacks that they'll have hammers, 105 00:06:45,879 --> 00:06:50,720 they'll break up curbstones and concrete ballards, break up into 106 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,120 smaller pieces which will then throw at police. They put 107 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,720 them in backpacks and walk around like that. I've seen 108 00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:59,079 somebody today walking around with golf balls in a backpack, 109 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,040 all sorts of weapons, all very potentially dangerous. We've seen 110 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:06,800 commercial grade fireworks being fired at our people, with shrapnel 111 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,480 being put in from what I'm told, into some of 112 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,959 these packages. Again, that is pretty scary stuff when you 113 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,279 look at it. Liquid being thrown on our officers. The 114 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,319 attitude of our officers and the professionalism and restraint that 115 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,399 they've shown is remarkable. They've done a tremendous job out there, 116 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:26,360 and I'm very proud of them. 117 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,879 Speaker 2: The district attorney stepped forward with some charges today against 118 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,120 people for those kinds of things. Are you satisfied with 119 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,680 what you're seeing on the prosecutory land? I know under 120 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,319 the former district attorney that didn't always happen. 121 00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 3: Right exactly, No, a different approach completely. We work very 122 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,319 closely with District Attorney Nathan Hakman. He does give, I think, 123 00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:51,160 due consideration to the severity of the crime and wants 124 00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,240 to hold people accountable. The US Attorney as well file 125 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,240 charges this morning on some folks for possession and throwing 126 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:01,639 I believe of molotov cocks. We've seen that now more 127 00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:05,079 than we usually see in these types of demonstrations, protests, 128 00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:09,160 and uh. In further so, it's it's uh, it's icy 129 00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:12,279 for our officers out there. But again, uh, we're we're 130 00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:14,920 going to stay the course and ensure that Los Angeles 131 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,920 is the safe city that the residents deserve it to be. 132 00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:28,759 Speaker 1: So interesting comments the fact that they are picking up 133 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,519 some of these people and they have handguns on them, 134 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,039 besides all the other tools that they use in their 135 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,519 or resistance whatever they want to call it. They mentioned 136 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,240 Nathan Hawkman. He is the new DA in Los Angeles. 137 00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,720 Remember George Gascone. The people of Los Angeles threw him out, 138 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,279 voted him out of office, and voted in Nathan Hawkman. 139 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,200 And Hawkman is not playing around. 140 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,399 Speaker 4: Peacefully assemble and peacefully engage in first to mended protected speech. However, 141 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,679 when that speech crosses over from protected speech into illegal conduct, 142 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,399 the people who engage in that illegal conduct will be prosecuted. 143 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,759 They will first be arrested. They will be prosecuted and 144 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:19,320 they will be punished to the full extent of the law. 145 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,759 We have said this repeatedly. We've said this as a 146 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:27,679 warning to people who are thinking about conducting these illegal acts, 147 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240 pretending that they are engaged in protests. But at the 148 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:34,039 moment they engage in the illegal acts, they are no 149 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:39,639 longer legitimate First Amendment protesters. They are criminals, and they 150 00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:44,759 will be prosecuted as criminals. If people want to hurl insults, 151 00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:48,799 we will protect that. If people want to engage in crimes, 152 00:09:49,039 --> 00:09:53,480 we will prosecute them. So hurling bricks, hurling cinder blocks, 153 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,120 hurling fireworks will not be tolerated in this county now 154 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,360 or ever. And by the way, it's a quick aside 155 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,200 for any individual who's engaged in criminal conduct but did 156 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,919 not get immediately arrested, let me provide some bad news 157 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,919 for you. There's a tremendous amount of video out there 158 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,840 through social media and otherwise. We will know who you 159 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,519 are who engage in this conduct. We will track you down, 160 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,159 we will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we 161 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,000 will punish you. So for people who've already engaged in 162 00:10:29,039 --> 00:10:32,440 this in this illegal activity, we're coming for you. For 163 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:35,080 people who are thinking that maybe this is a good 164 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,159 idea to do. Please take this as you're warning that 165 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,159 if you engage in this conduct, please don't come to 166 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:45,159 us afterwards and say we didn't think anything was going 167 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,960 to happen to us, because those prosecutions will occur. 168 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: What a breath of fresh air compared to George Gascon, 169 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:57,759 who wouldn't prosecute anybody. I mean, this guy's tough. Nathan 170 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,120 Hakmann is his name. D him to be the Los 171 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:07,000 Angeles County DA last November, and he is going after criminals. 172 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,840 I would expect that this might settle things down. Maybe 173 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:15,960 the LA riots are going to settle down simply because 174 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,720 of the fact that this man says, we're going to 175 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,879 track you down and we're going to prosecute you. There's 176 00:11:21,919 --> 00:11:28,200 another talk about Hollywood. There's another angle to this whole 177 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:35,080 LA riot scene. Doctor Phil is on the case. Yep, 178 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,279 Doctor Phil. No, he's still around doing his show, but 179 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,480 he was in Los Angeles. I think that's where he 180 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,960 is anyways, I'm not sure where he is. Anyway, he 181 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:49,440 was in LA last Friday and he was had his 182 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,720 camera crew with him and he was doing a story 183 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,639 about ice and immigration issues and all that when that's 184 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,039 when Friday afternoon, Friday evening is when ICE went and 185 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,080 arrested a bunch of illegals that they were looking for. 186 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,799 And doctor Phil was right there. He didn't embed with them, 187 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,679 but he was there as an observer watching all of this, 188 00:12:15,519 --> 00:12:17,600 and good old doctor Phil. I thought it was kind 189 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,399 of interesting what his observations were about how it went down. 190 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,279 Speaker 5: Listen. I found out some things that I think were knowable, 191 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,639 and I think some people are reporting and some are not. 192 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,320 First off, this was a multi agency operation. This wasn't 193 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:41,120 just an ICE operation. The particular operation, and I think 194 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:45,919 it has drawn all the attention did involve different agencies. 195 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,919 The ICE was there, US Marshalls was there, FBI, the 196 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,399 IRS was actually involved in this, ATF was there. Not 197 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,480 all of the agencies were involved in every operation that 198 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,200 went on, but there were multiple agencies involved. And this 199 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:09,279 was pursuant to a search warrant. And you know that 200 00:13:09,399 --> 00:13:11,120 in order to get a search warrant, you have to 201 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,159 present a lot of evidence to a federal judge who 202 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,240 has to find probable cause to issue a search warrant. 203 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:22,399 And that was done for a particular company that was 204 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:28,159 alleged or suspected to be involved in criminal behavior. They 205 00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:33,639 were alleged to have undervalued their imporse like eighty million dollars, 206 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:39,120 underpaid tariff seventeen million dollars, which involved the irs. So 207 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,919 when the raid took place, there were a lot of 208 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,120 records seized and they went in and audited the workforce, 209 00:13:47,039 --> 00:13:51,279 and I think forty people were arrested at two different 210 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,080 sites for the company at that point because they were 211 00:13:54,240 --> 00:14:01,440 illegal and there were criminals included in that group. It 212 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,879 wasn't just an ICE ray. There were other agencies involved, 213 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,639 and nobody seems to talk about that very much, although 214 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,919 that information is available, and there were other sites that 215 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,279 they went to as well. But I was apprised to 216 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,639 that going in because we have looked at this and 217 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:23,120 you know, people say, you know, why are you focused 218 00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:28,600 on this? Well, listen, My focus from the beginning has 219 00:14:28,639 --> 00:14:31,480 been to talk about things that matter to people who care, 220 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,559 and that has shifted from pure psychological to the more 221 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,919 psychosocial issues. People have become much more aware of what's 222 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840 going on, and my viewers tell me what they want 223 00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:49,279 to hear about. And this immigration has become a really 224 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,200 big issue with people. It's one of the top two 225 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,120 issues that Americans tell us they're concerned about. Yeah, And 226 00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:59,320 the thing that really puzzles me and looking at this 227 00:14:59,559 --> 00:15:04,480 is I'm wondering they're attacking agents on the street, FBI agents, 228 00:15:04,559 --> 00:15:09,200 police ice agents. They didn't pass these laws. These laws 229 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,559 were passed, as you know, in the legislature by the 230 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,279 officials that these people elected. Why are they not on 231 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,759 Capitol Hill protesting there? They want to change the law, 232 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:23,279 change the law, but laws are not suggestions and they're 233 00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:25,639 not optional. They have to either going to enforce them 234 00:15:25,679 --> 00:15:26,039 or you're not. 235 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: So he was being interviewed by Jake Tapper and was 236 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,639 asked about the question of why are they arresting people 237 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,159 that are illegal but are not criminals. 238 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,919 Speaker 5: Well, I've talked to President Trump about this and Tom 239 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,279 Homan extensively, and they have three priorities. Number one was 240 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,519 to close the border, and I think they have effectively 241 00:15:46,559 --> 00:15:51,480 done that. Number two was the worst. First, to take 242 00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:58,720 the violent criminals, the gang members thirteen Trendiagua. To get 243 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,600 these violent criminals off the streets. And I don't think 244 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:07,519 anybody wants those criminals on the street. And listen when 245 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:11,360 they go into I've seen that they target these individuals. 246 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,919 They're not going and doing just random sweeps, but they 247 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,679 target these individuals. Now, when they go in to find 248 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,759 these people in an apartment building or some area where 249 00:16:22,799 --> 00:16:25,519 there are a lot of others around, they're going to 250 00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:28,159 check who's around. If they go into an apartment there's 251 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,159 eight people in there and they and the target is 252 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,960 in there, the dangerous criminal with the violent history, they're 253 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,639 going to check who they're with, and if those people 254 00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:40,720 are illegal, they're not going to turn the blind eye 255 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,279 to that. They're going to take those people into custody 256 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,080 as well. And they're The third prong that they're focused 257 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,480 on is finding the missing children. There are over three 258 00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:57,240 hundred thousand estimated three hundred thousand children that have just 259 00:16:57,399 --> 00:17:00,720 fallen through the cracks and gone miss saying once they 260 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:04,200 crossed the border, and some of them have found their 261 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,559 way to families, but others have been pushed into prostitution 262 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:13,279 and forced labor and they need to be rescued. And 263 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:17,400 when they're rescued, they need help. They need services medical, psychological, 264 00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:21,920 sociological to help them recover from the trauma and then 265 00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,799 reunited with their families. Those are their three top priorities. 266 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: There are numerous polls now coming out. The posters are 267 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:31,960 running around as fast as they can to try to 268 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,039 get a sense of what the public thinks about all 269 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,759 of the protests going on, not only in LA but 270 00:17:37,799 --> 00:17:40,640 also now in many other cities around the country. They're 271 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,240 not at the scope that the LA riots were. I 272 00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:46,759 say were because I think the LA riots I would 273 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,119 hope are going to be much tamer going forward and 274 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,599 come to an end fairly soon. But CBS, you Gov 275 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,400 they did a poll, gave fifty four percent approval to 276 00:17:59,559 --> 00:18:04,480 Donald Trump's immigration programs and fifty percent approval of the 277 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,640 way he's handling immigration. Then you go to the Washington Post. 278 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,319 Washington Post course, well, they went out and did a 279 00:18:13,319 --> 00:18:16,319 survey that they said forty one percent of the people 280 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,920 support Donald President Trump sending National Guard and Marines to 281 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:27,559 the LA protests. Forty one percent support, forty four percent oppose, 282 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:34,000 fifteen percent are unsure other questions. Americans are roughly split 283 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,319 on a number of things regarding the protest if at California, 284 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,319 fifty eight percent are opposed to Donald Trump sending the 285 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,480 troops other states, forty two percent are opposed, forty three 286 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:53,880 percent are in approval. Democrats seventy six percent are opposed 287 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:59,440 to Donald Trump about anything. Only six percent of Republicans 288 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,359 are opposed. Eighty six percent of Republicans give the President 289 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:09,000 their approval. When it comes to independence, forty eight percent opposed, 290 00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:14,599 thirty three percent are in favor. So it's as far 291 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,920 as paying a lot of attention to what's going on, 292 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,440 sending the National Guard and Marines to LA, paying a 293 00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:29,079 lot of attention. Of fifty four percent are not paying 294 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,119 some attention forty five percent no, no, no, no, no, let 295 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,640 me get this great paying a lot of attention. Thirty 296 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,440 four percent of the country are paying attention to the 297 00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,680 LA riots. Yeah, one out of three, So two out 298 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,680 of three are doing other things, paying some attention, forty percent, 299 00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:51,759 paying little or no attention twenty six percent. So it's 300 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,960 it's rather split. Question that Washington Post asked was do 301 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,160 you support or oppose the protest in LA Again, it's 302 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:06,960 the federal government's immigration enforcement. Thirty nine percent support the 303 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,480 federal government, forty percent opposed. Twenty one percent are unsure. 304 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,519 It's a large group of unsured. Do you think the 305 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,079 LA protesters have been mostly peaceful or mostly violent? Thirty 306 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:25,200 five percent say mostly peaceful. Thirty seven percent say mostly violent, 307 00:20:25,839 --> 00:20:31,440 and again the unsure crowd twenty seven percent. I don't know. 308 00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:35,359 I don't know. Are the police using too much force 309 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,920 dealing with LA protesters, not enough force, or handling it 310 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,519 about right? Thirty one percent say too much force, forty 311 00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:48,559 three percent say about right, twenty six percent say not enough. 312 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,440 I think the other obvious point here. I'm not sure 313 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,359 if it's the wabvies, but certainly I've seen it. I 314 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,759 presume you have to. When you see the television out 315 00:21:00,799 --> 00:21:03,079 there on the streets of Los Angeles, what do you see? 316 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:08,720 You see LAPD? You don't see the California National Guard. 317 00:21:09,039 --> 00:21:12,079 They are around, they are on the perimeter of the 318 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,160 federal building. They're not on the streets. They're not participating 319 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,519 in dealing with the public in any way, shape or form. Now, 320 00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:23,279 the LAPD has overwhelmed. The chief even said that that 321 00:21:23,319 --> 00:21:29,400 they only have eight thousand officers. Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, 322 00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:33,279 which has about nine thousand officers, have come in to help, 323 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,880 and also a number of cities that make up southern 324 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,720 California are sending their police as well. But it's the 325 00:21:40,759 --> 00:21:48,079 police that are doing the involvement with the protesters, the rioters, 326 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:53,039 not the National Guard. And they keep talking about the Marines. 327 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:59,440 Have you seen any Marines yet? I haven't, and I'm 328 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,279 glad I haven't. I really I disagree with the president 329 00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:06,559 on sending the Marines. I don't like the idea of 330 00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:13,440 our military going against our citizens. Of National Guard, fine, 331 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,160 that's what they are trained to do. As far as 332 00:22:17,279 --> 00:22:21,119 the police, that's really their purview, that's where they should be. 333 00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,599 So a lot of people this is it's very, very, 334 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,079 very very it's very very split as to who is 335 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,640 supporting the president and who is opposed to him. Another 336 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,200 hot bit in the world is the Middle East, and 337 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:45,480 this is going on much more quietly than I would expect. 338 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:51,759 The government has ordered non essential embassy staff out of 339 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:57,720 a number of locations in the Middle East, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain. 340 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:04,519 State Department is concerned about the nuclear talks between the 341 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,279 US and Iran and the fact that they appeared to 342 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:11,039 be deadlocked. So the government has ordered the departure of 343 00:23:11,039 --> 00:23:15,160 non essential diplomatic staff from embassies in the Middle East, 344 00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:22,920 and they're worried about apparently that Iran has threatened to 345 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:28,039 target US military bases in the region if a conflict 346 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:33,559 breaks out. The conflict they're talking about is will Israel 347 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:40,440 attack Iran and their nuclear facilities, because they keep saying 348 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,599 they're this close. I think they've been. I think they 349 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,680 got the bomb a long time ago. But the Defense 350 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,640 Secretary Pete Hegseth has authorized the voluntary departure of military 351 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,599 dependents from locations across the region. So they're very worried 352 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:03,799 about the fact that Iraq bag Dad at the embassies there, 353 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,039 all of those areas may be attacked by Iran if 354 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,640 something happens in the Middle East. So everybody's on high 355 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,880 tension and all of the non essential personnel have been 356 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:22,319 ordered to leave the area. Brett McGirk, who this is 357 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,680 one of the areas he has specialized in, has this observation. 358 00:24:27,039 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 6: But I think, let me kind of back up. Why now, 359 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:32,519 what's happening. I think this vote in the IAEA today 360 00:24:32,559 --> 00:24:36,680 in Vienna, nineteen countries found Iran in non compliance with 361 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,400 its IAEA obligations international energy is hugely significant. Has not 362 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,039 happened in twenty years. This comes after a report from 363 00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:48,559 the IEA last week finding Iran an egregious failure to 364 00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:52,000 basically hold up its obligations to convince the world it 365 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,799 has a peaceful program. Another thing, well, this is coming 366 00:24:54,839 --> 00:24:56,720 to a head. I don't think it's imminent, but it's 367 00:24:56,759 --> 00:25:00,359 coming to a head because the Obama erat JCPU. There's 368 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,880 a provision of that deal that even the critics really like, 369 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,680 called snapback. Any member of that deal can snap back 370 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,680 all international sanctions. The Brits in the French are prepared 371 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,799 to do that this summer. That power expires in October, 372 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,519 so this issue of the Iran nuclear program has to 373 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,880 be resolved in that timeframe. That's why there's so much 374 00:25:19,319 --> 00:25:22,599 tension here. And Israel's watching this very closely because Iran 375 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,279 is trying to not only dramatically expand its program, it 376 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,720 is stockpiling uranium enriched to sixty percent grade. No civilian 377 00:25:30,759 --> 00:25:33,240 need for that. It is enough for ten bonds now 378 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,359 and it can quickly spin that with very advanced centrifuge 379 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,599 is two weapons grade, and Iran announced today they're putting 380 00:25:39,599 --> 00:25:43,039 these advanced centrifuges in the underground enrichment facility in Florido. 381 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,160 Very provocative step. So the Israelis are watching us to 382 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,759 say we cannot for our national security, particularly after October seventh. 383 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,799 We cannot just sit and wait. We have to have 384 00:25:52,839 --> 00:25:55,640 this issue resolved. The Wickcoff talks in Oman on Sunday, 385 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,960 I think will be very important to try to reduce 386 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,400 some of the tension. See yeah, and I've dealt with 387 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,640 this issue. I negotiated with the Iranians in Oman. I 388 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,880 know what this is like. I actually would like the 389 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,519 position Steve is in. You now have a real threat 390 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:11,799 of military force, you have real pressure and the Iranians 391 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,200 is the problem here is Iran Their program is advancing 392 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,599 to a point where there's no civilian no credible civilian use, 393 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:23,039 and they need to They need to answer and try 394 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:26,200 to reach a deal that is verifiable and that we 395 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,680 can live with. 396 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: Also some surprising news from also international news from India. 397 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,160 This morning, Air India had a flight that was leaving 398 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,240 from Amadabad going to London gat week four hundred I'm sorry, 399 00:26:43,279 --> 00:26:46,559 two hundred and forty two passengers on board and it's 400 00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:50,799 a brand new, well fairly new Boweing seven eighty seven. 401 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,960 Boeing stock took a ten dollars hit down five percent 402 00:26:56,079 --> 00:26:59,720 on the news today. Boeing has been doing a tremendously 403 00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,960 good job of getting their act together, getting their safety 404 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:09,440 program together, producing planes without problems, and then this happens today. 405 00:27:09,519 --> 00:27:15,519 Here's one of the local newscasters in India talking about 406 00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:17,759 the details of the crash today. 407 00:27:18,519 --> 00:27:21,039 Speaker 7: So you mentioned a moment ago about the Commissioner of 408 00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:23,680 Police and de A bad one of the senior cops there, 409 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,480 saying that he doesn't expect anyone to survive in this crash. 410 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,200 There were two hundred and forty two people on board, 411 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,480 including ten crew members. There were more than fifty British 412 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:36,039 nationals more than one hundred and sixty Indian nationals. The 413 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,200 worry is it's not just the people on board who 414 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,480 may have lost their lives to this terrible tragedy. The 415 00:27:43,519 --> 00:27:46,319 hospital authorities there, the Civil Hospital which is the main 416 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,559 hospital to which much of the bodies are being rushed to, 417 00:27:48,839 --> 00:27:51,400 have now confirmed that over two hundred bodies have been 418 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,319 brought there and are undergoing post bottom. The fear is 419 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,680 also that the building that this plane crashed into was 420 00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:03,000 the lunch building of a medical school. This was a 421 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,440 little past one point thirty in the afternoon, so we 422 00:28:05,519 --> 00:28:08,799 speak lunch hour. There were a number of these medical students, 423 00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:11,519 medical school students who are having their lunch in that 424 00:28:11,599 --> 00:28:14,680 building at that time. So I'm afraid there's a large 425 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:17,319 number of casualties on the ground as well aside of 426 00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:19,599 the number of people who died who were on board 427 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,759 that ill fated flight Air in their flight one seven 428 00:28:21,799 --> 00:28:25,559 to one from Mdabad to London Gatwick. What is also 429 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,160 of concern is that this is the first time in 430 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,920 the last over a decade that the dreamline of seven 431 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,599 eight seven has been in the skies. This is the 432 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,640 very first time that a flight of this nature has crashed, 433 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,839 and it happened within minutes of takeoff. It took off 434 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,200 at one thirty eight local time, is what we were 435 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160 given to understand, and within the first five minutes the 436 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,880 pilot lost contact with the air traffic control and within 437 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,400 twenty minutes before two o'clock, the crash happened over this 438 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:55,559 medical school building in the outskirts of m Dabad. Also, 439 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:58,759 we're given to understand that the Prime Minister has tweeted 440 00:28:58,759 --> 00:29:01,279 about this, He has its pressed his pain and anguish. 441 00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:04,559 He has also instructed his number two in the government 442 00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:07,599 to the Union Home Minister, mister Amashah, who also hails 443 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,559 in fact both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister 444 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,960 hailed from the state of Gujarat, that's where this air 445 00:29:12,039 --> 00:29:14,960 crash happened, So he has instructed the Home Minister to 446 00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,799 rush to Mdabad immediately. He should be reaching Mdabad within 447 00:29:18,839 --> 00:29:21,480 the next hour to take stock of this situation there. 448 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,000 The Chief Minister of the Province of Gujrat has already 449 00:29:24,039 --> 00:29:27,759 reached the hospital. He's taking stock of the fatalties and 450 00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:31,200 also trying to get the information across to the loved 451 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,920 ones of those who perished in this terrible, terrible air tragedy. 452 00:29:35,079 --> 00:29:38,119 There will be an inquiry. So far, we've not heard 453 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,799 from the airline authorities as to whether they've recovered any 454 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:44,279 of the debris or the black box or any of 455 00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:47,200 the voice recording systems on board to try and engage 456 00:29:47,279 --> 00:29:50,640 what exactly led to this. The pilot, Summit Sabber, while 457 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,440 apparently had more than eight thousand hours of flying experience, 458 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,599 the co pilot had over a thousand hours, So we 459 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,359 don't know what led to this terrible crash was it 460 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,079 Was it an engine failure? Was there a good hit 461 00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:07,279 of any kind? What is very curious about this incident, 462 00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:10,680 this strategy, is that both the engines failed off an 463 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,480 airline of the type of airline which has never crashed 464 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,000 before in the decade plus that it's been in the skies. 465 00:30:17,359 --> 00:30:20,440 So all of these will be questions that investigators will 466 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,240 be asking you the next few days and weeks. 467 00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,759 Speaker 1: Yes, it is a mystery because the seven eighty seven, 468 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,839 like the generalman said, has never had a crash. They've 469 00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:31,440 been in service I think eleven year or something like that. 470 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:38,400 This plane is basically a computer with wings. It is 471 00:30:38,559 --> 00:30:43,759 so high tech, and that's what makes us so puzzling 472 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,039 is because of the fact that, well they took off, 473 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,519 it wasn't a high altitude airport, but it was hot. 474 00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:55,240 It was over one hundred degrees and the plane was 475 00:30:56,079 --> 00:31:00,319 loaded with fuel and passengers pretty heavy on their long 476 00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:05,559 flight to get up to London. So hot temperatures, heavy airplane. 477 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,839 That's always an aviation an area that you double check 478 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,720 to make sure you've got everything set just right. And 479 00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:16,160 that's to think about this airplane. It is so high 480 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:21,000 tech that if the pilots set up the plane on 481 00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:24,200 the runway, the plane knows where it is, what runway 482 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,839 it is from GPS, it knows how long the runway is, 483 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,119 it knows how much weight the plane has, and if 484 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,759 you don't have everything set up, it will start telling 485 00:31:35,799 --> 00:31:39,200 you no takeoff, no takeoff. It will give you an 486 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,519 ural warning, and it will also show up on the 487 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:50,440 cockpit screen. So the video of the plane just before 488 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:57,079 it crashed, and it appears, I'm very cautious. It appears 489 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:03,480 as though the flaps were not. Flaps have to be 490 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:07,519 extended in order to give lift to a wing. And 491 00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:09,880 you wouldn't take off with a heavy plane in hot 492 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,559 temperatures without especially somebody a plane that big and that 493 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,440 heavy without flaps. So were the flaps extended and they 494 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,720 withdrew them early? We don't know. There's a lot we 495 00:32:20,799 --> 00:32:23,960 don't know. We have a lot of questions. The gear, 496 00:32:24,079 --> 00:32:29,680 the landing gear was extended, which again normally, as soon 497 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,400 as you start getting some altitude under the plane, you 498 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,440 withdraw you bring the gear up so you get more. 499 00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:44,759 It doesn't interfere aer aerodynamically, So there's a lot for 500 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,880 the investigators to work on with this. Again, the pilot 501 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,880 had over eight thousand hours. The gentleman we listened to 502 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,279 had he said the cold pilot had a thousand hours. 503 00:32:53,559 --> 00:33:00,440 That's baby steps. One thousand hours is a very rookie 504 00:33:00,519 --> 00:33:06,559 beginner in the airline industry. Miles O'Brien is an aviation analyst. 505 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,319 Let's see what he has to say about this. 506 00:33:09,599 --> 00:33:13,599 Speaker 8: This was an aircraft that was struggling to maintain flight. 507 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,680 If you look at the video very carefully, it's in 508 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,880 a very unusual configuration, actually the wrong configuration. It does 509 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,759 not appear that the trailing edge flaps, which are designed 510 00:33:26,759 --> 00:33:31,200 to be deployed. These are the aerodynamic surfaces that move 511 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,400 at the trailing edge of the wing and provide additional 512 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:40,559 lift during takeoff when the speeds are lower. It does 513 00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:43,920 not appear those flaps were deployed based on the video 514 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,119 images that we've seen so far. And on top of that, 515 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,720 the landing gear remained down at this stage of the flight. 516 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:54,680 You would expect the landing gear to be up after 517 00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:57,240 a positive rate of ascent had been determined by the 518 00:33:57,279 --> 00:33:59,880 flight crew. Couple that with the fact that you had 519 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,559 a very hot day, which means there's less lift on 520 00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:06,839 the wings because the air molecules are less dense, and 521 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,199 a fully loaded flight ready for a nine hour flight 522 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,800 to London, and you have what amounts to an aircraft 523 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:21,119 just struggling to maintain lift and air speed, and it's 524 00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:23,639 just a real open question as to how it was 525 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:24,800 in that configuration. 526 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 7: This is a. 527 00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:29,400 Speaker 8: Highly automated aircraft. It's only been in service a little 528 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,400 more than a decade. This is the first crash hull 529 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,880 loss with fatalities. They had some early problems with the 530 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,199 batteries on board which caused them to be grounded. There 531 00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:43,000 have been more recent concerns about how it has assembled 532 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,400 the seams on the composite fuselage, but that doesn't seem 533 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,960 to be coming into play here today. This is a 534 00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:54,000 highly automated aircraft which is designed to check and crosscheck 535 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,559 the configuration of the aircraft before takeoff. So if it 536 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,559 was in fact flying in the wrong configuration, there would 537 00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:05,840 have been all kinds of systems on board, oral and 538 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:09,320 visual to notify the crew of that fact. So this 539 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,079 is really kind of a mystery as to why the 540 00:35:13,119 --> 00:35:17,119 aircraft was in that configuration. But without those flaps deployed 541 00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:20,159 at that stage of flight, the aircraft never had a 542 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,920 chance to gain altitude. It just simply would have lost 543 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,760 lift installed, which is what we saw. 544 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 1: We have plenty of questions. I'm sure we'll be getting 545 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,840 plenty of answers. The plane, like I said, is a 546 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,119 state of the art. So they have a cockpit voice 547 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:41,719 recorder that records well over a thousand items, and of 548 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,440 course the voice recorder and the flight data recorder I'm sorry, 549 00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:48,960 flight data recorder over one thousand items, and of course 550 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,840 the cockpit voice recorder. They'll find out what the pilots 551 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,599 were talking about as this plane took off from this 552 00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:59,840 airport in India, So lots of data we should know. 553 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,719 Once they have those, they should know exactly what happened 554 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:10,119 on this crash. Today in financial news, we a Thursday 555 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,480 so Thursday Morning Jobs report two hundred and forty eight 556 00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:20,519 thousand first time jobless claims last week versus the estimate 557 00:36:20,559 --> 00:36:22,480 of two hundred and forty six thousand, so it's just 558 00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:26,559 about what we expected. The continuing claims a million, nine 559 00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:29,719 hundred and fifty six thousand, that's up fifty four thousand 560 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,599 for the week, not a shocker. And either one of 561 00:36:32,639 --> 00:36:36,280 those reports, we got the producer price index. That's the 562 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:41,679 wholesale inflation rate. And remember the wholesaler's inflation will be 563 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,320 passed on to the retailers, which will we passed on 564 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:50,599 to you theoretically, but this is another inflation indicator that 565 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,360 doesn't really show inflation taking off on us inflation. The 566 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,320 producer price index was up one tenth of a percent 567 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,760 for the year over year year it's up two point 568 00:37:04,159 --> 00:37:11,440 four percent. Yeah, it just wasn't the core rate, the 569 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,320 headline rate. Nothing. There's really no big inflation news coming 570 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,719 out of this. And again, as I mentioned yesterday, everybody's 571 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,360 watching these reports because we want to see will the 572 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:27,400 tariffs start to impact the prices in so far, very 573 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,360 little if any insight into all of that. Speaking of jobs, 574 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,599 health and human services, during Doge's work, they laid off 575 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,480 two four hundred people. Today they announced they were hiring 576 00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:43,039 back four hundred and fifty of those twenty four hundred people. 577 00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:48,920 Wall Street today we got this is everything's it's very rare. 578 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,639 We've got the stock market, we've got the gold prices, 579 00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:57,880 we've got bitcoin, all of them heading up to at 580 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,599 or near new highs NOW up one hundred and one 581 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,679 to forty two thousand and nine sixty seven, the s 582 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,519 and P up twenty three at six thousand and forty five, 583 00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:14,480 NASDAK up forty six to nineteen six sixty two. So 584 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,719 none of those are giant gains, but they just keep 585 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,880 creeping up higher and higher. Gold went up sixty three dollars. 586 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,559 It's now above thirty four hundred at thirty four oh six. 587 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,559 And oil, because of all the concerns about what is 588 00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:32,639 going on in the Middle East, is there going to 589 00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:35,400 be an attack by Iran on US forces around the 590 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,840 Middle East, Oil went up another fifty cents today, up 591 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,760 to six almost sixty nine dollars a barrel for one 592 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,519 barrel of oil.
