It was supposed to 12 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: start about forty five ago, wasn't it. 13 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll just getting into this hearing, so has had 14 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: for timing. The boss of Boeing summoned to Capitol Hill 15 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: for questioning. That's CEO David calhouna is in the witness 16 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: chair at this moment as his critics on the Homeowned 17 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: Security Panel are slamming what they call a quote broken 18 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: safety culture at Boeing. Now another Boeing whistleblower has come 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: forward in tandem with this equality insurance fellow, Sam Mohawk. 20 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: This man is just the latest, as you know, in 21 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: a series of Boeing insidus who claim the aircraft maker 22 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: cut corners to raise their profits more and more and 23 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 1: retaliate it against employees who woke up about some of 24 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the problems that were involved in doing that. All this, 25 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: of course, follows a series of disastrous incidents for Boeing, 26 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: most notably the Alaska Airlines blowout, where the Boeing jet 27 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: lost the door panel in midflight, luckily no one dying, 28 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: and that since then, we have heard from a number 29 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: of Boeing insiders who say the production processes at Boeing 30 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: have been seriously degraded in recent times. One Boeing quality 31 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: engineer alleged the company isolated and threatened him after he 32 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: raised concerns that the fuselage on the company's seven eighty 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: seven dream Liner were not properly fused together as that 34 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: aircraft was being finalized, and that this floor could lead 35 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 1: to the plane breaking apart in mid flight. The company 36 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: said they addressed that this latest whistleblower, Sam Mohawk, alleges 37 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: at Boeing properly tracked and stored faulty parts, and that 38 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: some of those faulty parts likely were installed on planes, 39 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: including the seven thirty seven Max. Speaking a short time ago, 40 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: the Boeing boss made this assertion about reviewing their system 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: since the Alaska Airlines debarcle. 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 4: We've asked every one of our employees to consider themselves 43 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: an aviation safety advocate. We're committed to making sure every 44 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 4: employee feels empowered to speak up if they see a problem. 45 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: Well, the head of the Senate panel, Richard Blumenthal, differs 46 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: and says of this latest whistleblower, now. 47 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: His account of the retaliation against him is particularly chowing, 48 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: the pressure that was exerted on him to stay silent. 49 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: They have a program called speak Up. Well, he was 50 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: told to shut up. 51 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: So some striking differences of opinion. 52 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, we'll talk to an aviation expert after seven 53 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 3: o'clock this morning. So what's the deal is about half 54 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: a million of them? They've been in America for teen years. 55 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 3: You're married to an American, So that's the amnesty is 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 3: at the plan? 57 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: That's basically it. Of course, immigration, border security, those concerns 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: are very contentious issues, as if you've noted. Leading into 59 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: the elections here in November, former Prisident Trump has been 60 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: raising the rhetorics saying many would be immigrants of fleeing 61 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: from prisons and mental institutions in summermerals and animals quote unquote, 62 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: who would poison the blood in the country, and that 63 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: he would summon the National Guard to begin mass deportation. 64 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: So President Biden I was responding with the most extensive 65 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: move in more than a decade to protect some immigrants. 66 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: He's put together this new executive order that would shield 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 1: from deportation those half a million or so illegal immigrants 68 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: who are married to American citizens. The hope of the 69 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: Biden team is that this will take a middle line 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: between progressives and those who favor a tougher approach, and 71 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: those who think that Biden was bending to hardliners when 72 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: he announced recently that there would be a cutoff and 73 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: border processing when the number of illegal daily border crossings 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: reached twenty five hundred, as it has now. Until this point, 75 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: undocumented spouses had to go back to their countries of 76 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: origin before they could apply for permanent residency here or citizenship. 77 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: That is oppressive, says Democrat Raja Krishna Morte. 78 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 5: When these spouses have to leave the country, sometimes they're 79 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 5: gone for as many as three or four years before 80 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 5: they can come back to continue with the process. So 81 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 5: the families are separated. 82 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Under these new Biden rules, those families could remain intact 83 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: while they pursue legal status. To be eligible, as you say, 84 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: they must have lived here for ten years and to 85 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: have been married to a US citizen as of yesterday, 86 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: So no quickie weddings today. Republicans are slamming the Biden effort. 87 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: They also withdrew, of course, from the bipartisan border reform 88 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: plan recently under pressure from Trump, who wanted to keep 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: the border battle as an election issue Politically. The Biden 90 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: team hopes this will boost their November chances. 91 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, a good one, mate, catch up in a couple 92 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: of days, Richard Arlslot sign just to updoate you on 93 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: AI and how it's going to save us. All the 94 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 3: McDonald's in America this morning have announced that they're removing 95 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: AI powered ordering technology. They've been running a little experiment 96 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: in there some of the US restaurants, about one hundred 97 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 3: of their restaurants.

On TikTok, young woman becomes increasingly exasperated as 105 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: she attempts to convince the AI that she wants a 106 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 3: caramel ice cream, only for it to add multiple stacks 107 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 3: of butter to her order.
