1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,360
Speaker 1: Stateside, Rich and Oland.

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 2: Morning to you a good morning make ow Was this true?

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: So they sacked these people, then they go to hire them,

4
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: but they can't find them.

5
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 3: What the hell was going on?

6
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: You know? The latest government sacking the way Elon Musk

7
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Andar's minions have turned into a total fast funny if

8
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: it wasn't really dangerous. The Nuclear Security Administration was given

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: just a few hours to fire hundreds of their workers

10
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: as part of Musk's government efficiency deal. But these Muskites

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: didn't even know who they were sacking. The managers were

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: given two hundred characters or less. I guess they had

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 2: to prove robots first, too right to explain why their

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: workers matted. So they drop up a list of essential

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: workers and pleaded to keep these people on the job.

16
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 2: None of that mattered to Elon Musk and co. Hundreds

17
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: of these staffers were sacked and their emails work emails

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: were cut off, leaving the Hanford nuclear site with only

19
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: a skeleton crew. Hanford is where they produced the plutonium

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: that the United States dropped on Youth and bombs that

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: were dropped on Japan to end World War Two. They

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: had nine nuclear reactors operating on at one point, but

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: it remains an area with the highest radiation dangers. The

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: NN essay the nuclear security people oversee the fifteen hundred

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 2: square kilometer location, which is the most contaminated radioactive site

26
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: in the West. In nineteen seventy six, there was an

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: explosion at one building at Hanford, and the radiation was

28
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: so intense they couldn't even start to go in and

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: try to clean it up for twenty nine years. Do

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: you think they should be looking after this place? Trump

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: just fired the people who do this work, through Elon

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Musk and his teenagers and twenty somethings. Once they sacked

33
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: these folks, they had second thoughts, maybe nuclear security is important,

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: so they tried to rehire them, but they found they

35
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: could not reach them because they'd cut them out of

36
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: their email network. They don't know how to get to

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: these people. Trump also has begun firing folks at the

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: Pacific Northwest National Lab, which also does nuclear security. The

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: agency Trump just gutted runs as well the US nuclear

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: labs and expects US nuclear weapons to make sure they

41
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: are secure and that the weapons are not stolen, no

42
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: terrors get in. Whatever. Trump and must just sacked several

43
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: hundred of those experts as well. Now, since they cut

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: them off from their work emails, they have no way

45
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: to say, oops, we want to unfire you. So all

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: this was done by Doge or Doggie or whatever that

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: self named government efficiency team. Trump had Musk and his

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: kids fired these nuclear experts with no idea what they

49
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: actually were about. So that's the problem. But at least

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: Elon Musk gets, of course, billions upon billions of dollars

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: to build those rocket ships from Mars since he expects

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: the planet Earth will be destroyed.

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: I've been watching the video of the plane and did

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: one wheel fold up when it landed? Do we know

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: what's going on here?

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: It might have been the only thing that was intact right.

57
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: Pictures of the wreckage certainly suggested it was a bit

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: of a miracle that this flight from Minneapolis to Toronto

59
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: got on the ground with no one being killed. Eighty

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: people were on board. Passenger John Nelson says that plane

61
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: hit pretty hard, and then he says it.

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 3: Was just incredibly fast. There was a giant firewall down

63
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: the side. I could actually feel the heat through the glass,

64
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: and then we were going sideways. I'm not even sure

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: how many times we like tumbled, but we ended upside down.

66
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've just had a briefing. Twenty one people have

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: been injured. Two of these folks have critical injuries and

68
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: remain in hospital. Another passenger, Peter Kukov, who was able

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: to take some video of his departure from the wreckage

70
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: of the plane.

71
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: A plane crash.

72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, people hanging like bat said another meantime, the airport

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: fire chief said this.

74
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: The runway was dry and there was no cross wind conditions.

75
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Really, that is not what passenger Nelson was saying. He's

76
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: what he said.

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: The winds were whipping pretty hard and the runways were

78
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: snow covered.

79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: Well, we could all see that the wind was blasting

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: or there were no cross winds. Only one of those

81
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: accounts can be accurate, right, But some are noting that

82
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: this is the fifth plane crash since Trump took office. Now,

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: US air safety investigators had taken action against Elon Musk's SpaceX,

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: so Musk insisted that the Federal Aviation Administration boss be fired,

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: and that person resigned on the day Trump was sworn in.

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Trump didn't bother to appoint a replacement to run the

87
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: air Safety Agency until after the mid air collision near

88
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: Washington's Reagan National Airport some days ago, the one that

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: killed fifty seven people. That soon was followed by another

90
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: deadly plane crash in Philadelphia, then another in Alaska, then

91
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: yet another plane crash. He would a tug in Chicago,

92
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: and a flight caught fire in Houston, and two aircraft

93
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: smashed into each other in Washington State. The other day

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: in a small jet karin off a runway in Arizona.

95
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: The US has sent an FAA team off to Toronto

96
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: right now to help investigate this latest air disaster. But

97
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 2: the Trump administration just between let me see air crashes

98
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: four and five, told hundreds of FAA staffers that they

99
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: are being sacked as well, and many expect to be

100
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 2: locked out of their officers this very day. So air safety,

101
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: nuclear safety seemingly not a priority.

102
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: So you rather appreciate it. Back to New York, Eric Adams,

103
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: also involving Trump, so he's been dodgy. Is all dodginess

104
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: for a while. They go to Eric and go, hey,

105
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: these charges, don't worry about it, will drop that, to

106
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: which his various attorneys go what the hell and they quit.

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: And so now a judge this morning, a guy called

108
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Dale ho Manhattan District Judge suggests he's not going to

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: rub a stampless deal because it's highly unusual that the

110
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: DJO you go to him. And the reason they want

111
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: the charges dropped, it's alleged, is because Eric's gonna help

112
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Trump and co. With the business of the illegal immigrants

113
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: in New York City.
