1
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Don't carry me to following.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: Good morning.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: It is thirty degrees on our way up to forty three.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: We've got sunshine. Now. My name is Casey.

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: That is shit.

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 4: Had no idea I was going to wake.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: Up to hear the news that there was a temporary

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: flight restriction at the El Paso International Airport. The FAA

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: said they were closing that airspace for ten days, that

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: all flights in and out of the airport, including commercial cargo,

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: general aviation, all being shut down due to special security reasons.

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: They didn't give any explanation as to why it was happening,

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: leading you to fill in the blank yourself.

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: We love speculating.

15
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, but apparently that temporary flight restriction was very temporary,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: because now it's open again.

17
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: This is I can't imagine if I lived in El

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: Paso and I had a flight planned for today. Like

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: let's say you lived in l Passo and you and

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: your spouse or family were planning a trip, and you

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: were going to take a winter vacation to a Aruba,

22
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: and you were supposed to leave today and you find

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: out late last night our airport's being shut down for

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: ten days, and that obviously messes up our vacation plans

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: big time. So now what do I do? Okay, maybe

26
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: I can rework our travel plans. We could fly out

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: to San Antonio or some other nearby airport, and so

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: we booked that and now we're doing that. And then

29
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: you wake up this morning you find out, oh hey,

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: that ten day temporary restriction turns out it was more

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: like ten hours. We lifted and everything's fine. Go back

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: to know as you were to carry on.

33
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: I had no idea that a TFR was a temporary

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: flight restriction. That's new information. Learn something new every day.

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Now keep your head on a swivel. You never know

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: what's going to happen.

37
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: Anything could happen. A ten day TFUR turns into an

38
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: eight hour TFR. So was it that they.

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Had this air traffic controller He was the only one

40
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: left and he called in sick and they said, no,

41
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: you're all We got nut up and he decided, okay,

42
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: all coming anyway. Is that what happened?

43
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: We don't know, but I love speculating. Who knows what

44
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: happened and what? In all seriousness, it's it's it's very interesting.

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: And by the way, the reopening of that El Paso

46
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: Airport literally just was announced in the last five minutes.

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: So all morning long, we've been preparing to talk about

48
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: how it was going to be shut down for ten

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: days and now it's open again. But one of the

50
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: interesting things is that that airport in El Paso is

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: right next to Fort Bliss, which is one of the

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: largest army fort and bases in the entire country.

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: So does he want to have anything to do with

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: the other?

55
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: Wellcause, because we don't know, because the administration isn't giving

56
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: us any details. You know, this is you know, we're

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: trying to internet sleuth this out and trying to figure

58
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: out what's going on, and I think most of the

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: reasonable explanations have focused on some sort of national security

60
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: thing going on, or maybe even military training. There's been

61
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: a lot of you know, possibly some sort of border

62
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: issue that could be happening, because of course Alabasso is

63
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: right on the border there. It has been a lot

64
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: of speculation even already. Of course, there's already been conspiracy theories.

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: Why not, it's what the story seven or eight hours old?

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Can we get to some conspiracy?

67
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm sory people on x or TikTok have already figured

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: it out right.

69
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: Things like oh, maybe they're retrieving a UFO, or this

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: is preparation for martial law or the creation of secret prisons.

71
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: All of that you can just pretty much throw out

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: the window for right now because it's back to business

73
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: as usual. It is such a thing. I guess, I

74
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: guess the El Paso Airport is just back to business

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: than usual. It's such a bizarre story because it really

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: kind of captured everybody's attention. The information was released very

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: very late last night, probably when most of you were asleep,

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: and then the world wakes up this morning and this

79
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: is kind of a shock in surprise, and so we're

80
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: all getting ready for it, and then all the nope,

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: changed our mind. Things are back open again.

82
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: So the El Paso International Airport handles about four million

83
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: passengers per year during normal operation. I thought one of

84
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: the interesting things that came out with the alert was

85
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: that the FAA said that they could take control of

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: any other plane that crossed into that airspace.

87
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, some of the language. So the FAA issued this

88
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: stoppage at eleven thirty pm Mountain time last night, so

89
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: that it'd be one thirty Eastern time last night. And

90
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: the language in this advisory that the FAA put out

91
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: was you know, pretty serious. It talked about, you know,

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: make sure that aircrafts are not coming into this space.

93
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: Pilots who did not adhere to this procedure may be

94
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: intercepted and detained. And even I'm reading this language directly

95
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: from the advisory that came out from the FAA yesterday.

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: The United States Government may use deadly force against the

97
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: airborne aircraft if it is determined that the aircraft poses

98
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: an imminent security threat.

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: So that sounds pretty serious, very.

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: Strong language, and I mean extraordinarily rare for the FAA

101
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: to shut down the airspace around an entire city and

102
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: an entire airport. So everybody all of a sudden this

103
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: morning on very high alert, trying to learn as much

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: about this as possible. But now it's back back to normal.

105
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: Nothing happened here, Just go about your day.

106
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Back to normal. Is there such a thing I mean,

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: that is the question what we're seeing come out with

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: the Epstein files, what's been going on with Nancy Guthrie

109
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: and that cat kidnapping. Is there such a thing as

110
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: normal anymore? And the Jobs Report yesterday they said, oh boy,

111
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: they were they were handling expectations that it was going

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: to be pretty doom and gloom, but then it didn't

113
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: look as bad as they were trying.

114
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 4: To lead people to believe.

115
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: It does seem like that this is give.

116
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Me two seconds to get my head above water.

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 2: It does seem like that this is the new world

118
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: we live in now. Where happened, where things happen. The

119
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 2: rate of change of our everyday lives, of our culture,

120
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: of the news cycle of what's happening around the world

121
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: seems to be accelerating at such a pace that it

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: does seem like it's difficult to keep up on what's

123
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: going on on a day to day basis.

124
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a beat, take a bread.

125
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a beat. We're gonna regroup, and

126
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna go back and talk about the latest what's

127
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: going on with the Treasury Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and

128
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: what he had to say that's on the way. It's

129
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: ninety three WYBC. Thomas Massy said the Epstein scandal is

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: bigger than water date, bigger than I ran Contra, longer

131
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: in time, involved multiple administrations, and that we have to

132
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it, and that seems to

133
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: be what he is trying to do. We turn our

134
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: attention to the Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, and he admitted

135
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: under oath that he did visit Epstein's private island, Little

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: Saint James, during a twenty twelve family vacation. Said he

137
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: had lunch there with his wife, his four children, nanny's

138
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: and another family were with him and they spent about

139
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: an hour on the island together. This after he made

140
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: an appearance. This was back in two thousand and five.

141
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: He was on a podcast and he said that after

142
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he decided that he would never spend

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: time with him again. Listen to this.

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 5: And we left, and in the six or eight steps

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: it takes to get from his house to my house,

146
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: my wife and I decided that I will never be

147
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 5: in the room with that disgusting person ever again.

148
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 6: So I was never in the room with him socially

149
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 6: for business or for even philanthropy. If that guy was there,

150
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 6: I wasn't going because he's gross and.

151
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: So gross in fact, that he's going to get on

152
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: a boat with his family and go have lunch with them.

153
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is part of the bigger concern that I

154
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: think everybody maybe some hard truths that everybody's going to

155
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: have to come to terms with as it relates to

156
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: the Epstein files and a lot of the I am

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: very pessimistic that we'll have any sort of justice that

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: we're looking for out of this. I want people to

159
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: go to jail. I'm outraged by this. This behavior is disgusting.

160
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: You know, there's so much circumstantial evidence here. But the

161
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: problem is, most of these potential crimes that could have

162
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: been committed probably have the statute of limitations has expired

163
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: on our ability to potentially prosecute them criminally. And most

164
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: of what we're seeing in these Epstein files are circumstantial evidence.

165
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: There's very little hard evidence of crimes specifically taking place,

166
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: the type of evidence you would need to convict somebody

167
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 2: in a court of laws. So what are we left

168
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 2: with as as a public, as a culture, what are

169
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: we left with on this? Because we want some decisions

170
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: about this, we want some justice as it relates to this.

171
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: So the only thing we're pretty much left with is

172
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: public shaming of these individuals that looked like something awful

173
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 2: was going on. And the truth. Now, you know, you've

174
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: got to give massive props to Thomas Massey for fighting

175
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: this fight. Also, Democrat Rocana has also been very forward

176
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: about wanting to have the truth and all of these

177
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 2: files come out and redacting as much of them as possible.

178
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: So we're kind of left with public shaming as it

179
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: relates to Howard Lutnik. And I'm not quite sure what

180
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: standard we're going to use to, you know, to apply

181
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: to people that are mentioned in the Epstein files, because

182
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: you've got everything from I saw, you know, a very

183
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: interesting article about this guy who's a hedge fund manager,

184
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: never met Jeffrey Epstein, never talked to Jeffrey Epstein, was

185
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: never in the same room with him. But friends of

186
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: a friend of a friend knew Epstein and they were

187
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 2: communicating via email about some charity event, and all of

188
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: a sudden, this guy's name shows up in the Epstein files.

189
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: And by the way, a photo of him with his

190
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: arms around a couple of young kids also ended up

191
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: in the Epstein files. Turns out they were his kids,

192
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: and that was a photo on his couch in his

193
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: living room. So you've got people that are, you know,

194
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: what look to be on the surface as completely innocent

195
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: that have been mentioned in these Epstein files, and those people.

196
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: Shouldn't you know, they did nothing wrong, shouldn't have any

197
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: consequences of this, all the way to the other end

198
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: of the spectrum, where people are mentioned in the Epstein

199
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: files thousands and thousands of times, and you know, like

200
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: Howard Lutnick, current Commerce Secretary of the United States, well

201
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: after Jeffrey Epstein was committed, was convicted of pedophilia in

202
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, showed up on his island with

203
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: his family in twenty twelve. So it seems like whatever

204
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 2: standard we use to apply here to shame these people

205
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: publicly seems like on the surface here Howard Lutnik has

206
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: met that standard.

207
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, So after he met Jeffrey Epstein in two thousand

208
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: and five, he said he was never going to be

209
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: in a room with that quote disgusting person ever again.

210
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: But then in front of the Senate it came out, well, yeah, no,

211
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: actually you did. I have a continuing relationship of some

212
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: sort with him, and you've got government documents and emails

213
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: that show continued contact. Listen to this, I.

214
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 7: Think you understand the root of concern here. It's the

215
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 7: way you described very emphatically your first encounter with him

216
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 7: in his apartment, said you were disgusted, would never have

217
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 7: any contact with him again. Did you in fact make

218
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 7: the visit to Jeffrey Epstein's private island.

219
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 8: I did have lunch with him, as I was on

220
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 8: a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife

221
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 8: was with me, as were my four children and nannies.

222
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 8: I had another couple. They were there as well with

223
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 8: their children, and we had lunch on the island, that

224
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 8: is true, for an hour, and we left with all

225
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 8: of my children, with my nannies and my wife all together.

226
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 8: We were on family vacation. We were not a part

227
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 8: to suggest there was anything untoured about that in twenty twelve.

228
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 8: I don't recall why we did it, but.

229
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: To go and look in gawk perhaps. I mean, nobody's

230
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: saying that he did anything nefarious while he was there,

231
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: but it's the fact that he publicly said he was disgusting,

232
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: he was never going to be in a room with

233
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: him again, and then years later, after he was convicted,

234
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: took his family there.

235
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a credibility issue for Secretary Lutnik at

236
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: this point, because you said that you had no contact

237
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: with him after two thousand and five and that he

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: was a gross individual. Well, you had a lot of contact,

239
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: because there's other emails. You know, he was invited to

240
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: certain fundraising events for Hillary Clinton, donations for charities. There

241
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 2: was back and forth communication way after Epstein's conviction in

242
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. So this is a credibility issue

243
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: because it looked like Howard Lutnik wasn't telling the truth

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 2: back when he said that he cut off all contact

245
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: in two thousand and five and then continued to have

246
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after his conviction in two

247
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: thousand and eight. It comes down to credibility for Howard Lutnik,

248
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: and the pressure is being ratcheted up. There are people,

249
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: including Thomas Massey, they're calling for Howard Lutnick's resignation.

250
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are several lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans that are

251
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: calling for his resignation, saying that his past comments they

252
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: don't match what the record show. And guess what that's important.

253
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: We expect that of our elected officials. We probably shouldn't.

254
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's on us. We expect we expect them to

255
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: tell us the truth. Sorry, my bad. I should know better,

256
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: But you've got the speaker, Mike Johnson. It's number three Kevin,

257
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: He says that Lutnick should not resign. When he was

258
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: asked by reporters.

259
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: Howd Lutnick had said that he had cut off ties

260
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 3: with jeffreyst in two thousand and five. Doncuments that came

261
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 3: up contradiate that. Democrats and Thomas Massey said he should resigned.

262
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: Do you think that Howard Lutnick should resign?

263
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 1: Of course, not so surd.

264
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 7: Howard Lutnick is a great Commerce secretary, an extraordinary jeff

265
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 7: for the country.

266
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Again, Thomas Massey's just stuff.

267
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: Do you have any concerns about Ludninck's ties.

268
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 9: With I don't know anything about that.

269
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 7: I know Howard as an individual, and I trust his

270
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 7: word on it. I mean, I don't know of the

271
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 7: timing and all that.

272
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you have to ask.

273
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 2: Other for two of them.

274
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: He's saying that it's absurd. No, he should not resign.

275
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's exactly absurd. I mean, obviously Mike

276
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: Johnson is going to be speaking the administration's talking points,

277
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: and that's what he's doing there.

278
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks a lot more absurd to be defending

279
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: Howard Lutnik at this point. Look, we want justice. We

280
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: want people to go to jail for these awful crimes

281
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: that looks like they were, that were committed on these young,

282
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: innocent children. We want people to deface justice and to

283
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: go to jail. And it's highly unlikely we're not going

284
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: to get that, so we'll come for something else. And

285
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: maybe that's your job, Howard Lutnik. And maybe nothing untoward

286
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: did happen, but I can guarantee what it looks like

287
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: allegedly proved out here. You lied to us when you

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: said he didn't have any contact with him after two

289
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: thousand and five, and you took family vacations there, and

290
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: you had continued contact with him after his conviction in

291
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. In my mind, that is enough

292
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: for people to call for his resignation, and Howard Lutnick

293
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: should resign.

294
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: There's a new bill called Virginia's Law. It was introduced

295
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: in Congress by lawmakers alongside the family of Virginia Giffree

296
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: and other survivors of Epstein's abuse. And what it would

297
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: do it would remove the statute of limitations. Now, this

298
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: is only for civil lawsuits for survivors of the abuse

299
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: in federal court. It does not include any criminal. This morning,

300
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: you probably welcome to the news that the El Paso

301
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: International Airport was shut down. They issued a temporary flight

302
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: restriction citing special security reasons. They grounded flights. There was

303
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: lack of advanced notice and then an abrupt reversal. And

304
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: now information is being released about what happened and what's

305
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: going on over there. And to give us some more

306
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: information from the WIBC newsroom, we have Ryan Hedrick who's

307
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: joining us.

308
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 5: Thanks for coming in.

309
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: So what were the reasons that we're given? Why did

310
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: they shut that airport down?

311
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 4: So we're hearing that Mexican drug cartel drones entered American

312
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: airspace and we're hovering over the airport, which prompted the

313
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: Department of War to get involved and disabled these drones.

314
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 4: And it's really I mean, you're right, we didn't get

315
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: a lot of information about it. I started reporting on

316
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: it at about six point thirty and then I reached

317
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: out to the Indianapolis International Airport to see if there

318
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: was any who's your connection, which I'll tell you about

319
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: that in a minute. But that's why Pete Hegseth and

320
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: his team doing a good job for UM to shoot

321
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: down Mexican drug cartel drones.

322
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: So you did have coordination between Homeland Security, the Pentagon,

323
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: and other federal agencies.

324
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, so just a short timeline, the FAA, the

325
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 4: Federal Aviation had been insution halted flights to and from

326
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 4: the El Paso International Airport, as you said, and they

327
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: originally gave a ten day window so it would expire

328
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: on February twenty. So it went in to effect February tenth,

329
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: early this morning, and at the time they didn't give

330
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: any information, and then the Department of Warren the President

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 4: came out and said that some cartels had turned to

332
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 4: drones to track border patrol and even deliver drugs into

333
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 4: the United States.

334
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so you said you reached out to the Indianapolis Airport.

335
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: I did, And did you get a response back to

336
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: that from them?

337
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 4: I did, and I got to give props to them.

338
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 4: Stephanie McFarlane emailed me a couple of minutes ago and

339
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 4: basically my ask was how are Hoosier travelers being impacted

340
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 4: by the shutdown? And she said that the Indie Airport

341
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: is not a hub airport and she wasn't aware of

342
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 4: any airline and partners that are operating service NonStop out

343
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: of the Indie Airport to the El Paso area. But

344
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: she's still working on information. People are just learning about this.

345
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 4: I mean we all we knew is that the El

346
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: Paso Airport was shut down. We didn't know why. I mean,

347
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: that's unprecedented for the FAA to ground air traffic.

348
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: Right, So we're speaking with Ryan Hendrick from the WIBC newsroom.

349
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: I the only kind of basis that we have for

350
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: comparison seems to be nine to eleven when they shut

351
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 2: down air traffic throughout the entire country. I don't ever

352
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 2: recall another instant since then, since they would go in

353
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: and shut down all air traffic in kind of an

354
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: emergency situation like this.

355
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're absolutely right. That is the first time since

356
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 4: nine to eleven that has happened. So Trump just to

357
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: go back, because Trump, it's well documented that he has

358
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: been at war with the drug cartels. You may remember

359
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: last month when he said that the cartels were running

360
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 4: Mexico and that the president shinebaumb had no control over Mexico.

361
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 4: And at the time, we're like, what do you mean

362
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: she has no control over Mexico. Well, this is evidence

363
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: that the Mexican drug cartels are running Mexico and now

364
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 4: they're infiltrating the United States.

365
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: And that's really kind of the next question that comes

366
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: from this. I mean, this information has been you know,

367
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: kind of we've been drinking from the fire hose here

368
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: this morning, trying to absorb what's going on, and now

369
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: that we're getting a better picture of what's going on,

370
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 2: now it kind of moves to, Okay, what does this

371
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: mean because we just had drug cartels that entered into

372
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: our airspace with sophisticated drones. Is Trump and is this

373
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 2: administration going to say, okay, this we consider this either

374
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 2: an invasion by the cartels or potentially we consider this

375
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: an invasion by the state of Mexico.

376
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could also look at it from another perspective,

377
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: is that the United States borders are so secure that

378
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: they have to resort to drone traffic into American airspace.

379
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: I mean, the Trump administration has done such a great

380
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 4: job of turning that all around under the Biden administration

381
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 4: that we're just walking over right now, They're not walking over.

382
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 4: Their resorting to sophisticated tactics and techniques. And I think

383
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 4: this is an escalation in the United States war over Mexico.

384
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we have to look at all aspects.

385
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: This is not, though, the first time that that drones

386
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: have been used in drug delivery. I think here in

387
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: Plainfield at the prison, Indiana State Police were telling us

388
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 4: last year that drugs were being dropped onto the prison

389
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 4: yard from drones. So certainly, whether it's the cartel or

390
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 4: another drug trafficking organization, they've been using these drones for

391
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 4: a long time.

392
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: How much does this relate to the proximity of it

393
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: being next to Fort Bliss or is this just because

394
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: it was the border.

395
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: I think it's just I mean, if I had, if

396
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 4: I had to guess, I think the drug cartels have

397
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: been hurt badly by the lack of human trafficking, which

398
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 4: to me was the majority of their income coming in

399
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 4: across the border. Now you know, the Trump administration has

400
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 4: dried up that revenue stream, and now they're just kind

401
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: of they're back on their feet trying to think about

402
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 4: how and when they could drop drugs, and I think

403
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: this is a desperate tactic. It's also something to nudge

404
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 4: the Trump administration to say, hey, we're still here because

405
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: the cartel has no lack of funds. I mean, these

406
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 4: people are rich, rich, They have hundreds of billions of

407
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 4: dollars at their disposal, and they'll use it anyway they

408
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 4: see fit.

409
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: What do you have that you're working on with?

410
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 4: Very much, very interesting story coming out of the State

411
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 4: House yesterday. This bill that's now advanced to the Senate

412
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: committee would give Mike Braun full authority to kind of

413
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 4: militarize the National Guard. And there was a guy that

414
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 4: testified in front of a Senate committee yesterday and he

415
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 4: admitted in public that he's been a paid protester for

416
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: ten years. I mean, we've heard a lot about paid protesters.

417
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: The other side says, there's no paid protesters. You're being hyperbolic.

418
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: And he testified that, in fact, yeah, he is, he's

419
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: one of them.

420
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 4: He said he was in Alabama ten years ago for

421
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 4: the George Floyd writes. He talks about the damage, and

422
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 4: he says that the Senate has this all wrong, that

423
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: this bill can't go forward. So I'll have that story

424
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 4: out probably in the next ten minutes.

425
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Ryan Heddrick. We appreciate you. You're

426
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: listening to ninety three WIBC.

427
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 4: The El Paso.

428
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: International Airport in Texas open again. It's operational. This after

429
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: the FAA announced that it was under a temporary flight

430
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: restriction for ten days, and then half hours later they

431
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: reversed that order. The closure came after Mexican cartel drones

432
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 1: breached US airspace. The drones have now been disabled and

433
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: they're saying that there is no threat to commercial aviation

434
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: and all flights will resume as normal. We go back

435
00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: to Mexican cartel drones breaching US air space. That seems

436
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: pretty significant.

437
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, now that.

438
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: We've had a couple of seconds to kind of get

439
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: our head above water here, because the information has been

440
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: coming at us pretty fast since all of us woke

441
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: up this morning about the El Paso Airport being shut

442
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: down and now being reopened, and now we finally, you know,

443
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: apparently seem to know the reason why. My big question

444
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: is what happens next. Because Trump loves to threaten other countries.

445
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: He loves to threaten Europe and threaten Greenland, and threaten

446
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 2: Iran and Venezuela. And now all of a sudden, we've

447
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: got a huge unsecured, you know, mostly semi secured border,

448
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: still lots of openings at it on our southern border

449
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: with Mexico and the cartels have just invaded our airspace.

450
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: My impression here is Trump's not going to take this lightly,

451
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: and I'm kind of expecting some sort of retaliation for this,

452
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: because you can't you can't just let it stand, and

453
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: you can make the argument that, well, the cartels aren't

454
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: controlled by Mexico. Okay, No, it's from controlled by the

455
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 2: car exactly. The cartels are knee deep to every aspect

456
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: that anything that happens in Mexico. But this is going

457
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 2: to be really interesting to see how Trump responds to this,

458
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: because I think that is what's next for this story,

459
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: and probably even much more important than what we know

460
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: so far in the fact that they breach the airspace.

461
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: What happens next could end up being a bigger story here.

462
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: So.

463
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump also said that he would block the opening

464
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: of the Gordy how International Airport. This is a new

465
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: crossing between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, unless Canada makes some

466
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: concessions to the United States. He posted on his social

467
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: media saying that the US must be fully compensated for

468
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: everything we have given Canada.

469
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, can and this is the Gordy how International

470
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: Bridge that is supposed to connect Detroit, Michigan to Windsor, Ontario,

471
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: And can we just give a second and talk about

472
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 2: how it's awesome that they named this the Gordy how

473
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: International Bridge For those that don't know. Gordi how a

474
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: famous Hall of Fame hockey player, played for his career

475
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 2: for the Detroit Red Wings, so it kind of makes

476
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: sense Canada and hockey go together. He played for the

477
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: Detroit Red Wings wide across the river there. So I

478
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: love the fact that they called this the Gordy Howe

479
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: International Bridge. But this is just part again back to

480
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: what I was talking about before, Donald Trump wanting to

481
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: pick fights with everybody. He loves picking fights with Mark

482
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 2: Carney and the country of Canada. And I think this

483
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 2: looks like on the surface, this is just another opportunity

484
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 2: for him to be a thorn in Mark Carney's side

485
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: and use this it's another point of leverage. Again, we

486
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: keep going back to Donald Trump and the art of

487
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: the deal and everything that he does and negotiates with

488
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: is all about leverage. And we're still having these trade

489
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: negotiations and tariff negotiations with Canada, and I think Donald

490
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: Trump sees this as an opportunity to just kind of

491
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: nudge Carney a little bit and be an irritant in

492
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: his side by saying, you know what, this We're not

493
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: going to let this happen.

494
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: It does escalate some of the tensions between the US

495
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: and Canada. And this is a broader trade dispute and

496
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: all so tariff disagreements that are just continuing with our

497
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: neighbors to the north. By the way, in case you

498
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: weren't familiar with it, Windsor, Ontario actually south of Detroit.

499
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: I always think of it as being north of Detroit,

500
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: but when you look at a map, it's actually south.

501
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, anytime you think about Canada, you always obviously your

502
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 2: default position goes to being north. But yeah, it's different there.

503
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 2: And there is a currently a bridge, the Ambassador Bridge Bridge,

504
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: and then of course there's the tunnel that goes to Detroit.

505
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: But there is a massive amount of trade and traffic

506
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: that takes place between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada. And

507
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 2: this additional international bridge was supposed to give some extra

508
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 2: capacity to all that traffic going back and forth. But

509
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: at least for now, Donald Trump's trying to put a

510
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 2: stop to that. And again, what he's doing here is

511
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: trying to use this point as leverage in his negotiations

512
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: with Mark Carnei and Canada as it relates to trade

513
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: policy and tariff's.

514
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: So the White House Press Secretary was asked about this

515
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: and here's what she had to say.

516
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 10: Yesterdays on social media. Threatens the block the new Gordy

517
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 10: how Bridge, which would connect Detroit to Canada. This is

518
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 10: a bridge that was fully paid for by Canada. It

519
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 10: used American labor to construct it. It used American steel

520
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 10: to construct that bridge. The President in twenty seventeen was

521
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 10: actually in favor of this bridge, part of a joint

522
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 10: statement that he put out when he met with the

523
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 10: Canadian Prime minister. Why has the President changed his mind

524
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 10: as it relates to this bridge.

525
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 9: I think the President was very clear and direct in

526
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 9: his truth John, But just to reiterate the fact that

527
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 9: Canada will control what crosses the Gordy how Bridge and

528
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 9: owns the land on both sides is unacceptable to the president.

529
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 9: It's also unacceptable that more of this bridge is in

530
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 9: being built with more American made materials, even more so

531
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 9: than what President Barack Obama committed to with the Canadians

532
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,239
Speaker 9: at the time at the start of the project. He

533
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 9: also believes that the US should own at least half

534
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 9: of the bridge, have shared authority over what passes across it,

535
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 9: and participate and the economic benefits generated by its use.

536
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 9: This is just another example of President Trump putting America's

537
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 9: interests first, and so he made that very clear in

538
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 9: his call with Prime Minister Carney earlier today.

539
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: So you've got Canadian leaders saying they expect the issue

540
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: will be settled through discussion relatively soon. The governor of

541
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: Michigan not happy about this. She said that Canadians paid

542
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: for the bridge. The bridge was built with organized labor

543
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: union labor on both sides of the bridge, including Michigan Anders.

544
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: Of course, Gretchen Whitmer is concerned about the economic impact

545
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: to her state if that bridge remained closed. However, it's

546
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: the unfair Canadian trade opposed on product crossing that bridge

547
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: that's going to eclipse all the cost of it. You know,

548
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: they're not putting American products on their shelves.

549
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: Look, I don't know why Canada decided that they wanted

550
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: to get into a fistfight with Donald Trump. A lot

551
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: of the other countries just kind of let Trump roll

552
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: over them because they knew that Trump could do whatever

553
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 2: he wanted. But it was Canada that was like, nope,

554
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: elbows up Canada, We're going to fight back and we're

555
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: going to talk tough, and they're going to have their

556
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 2: various provinces and the leaders of those provinces say nasty

557
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: things about Trump. Remember they ran a complete commercial schedule

558
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: here in the United States that tried to interfere with

559
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 2: the elections. They've tried to ban our product. Canada just

560
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: seems to be like the only country that hasn't gotten

561
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: the message. If you want to go to war figuratively

562
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump and enter this trade war, Canada has

563
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: no leverage. They're dealing with the best in the business

564
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: at this and Donald Trump. I just don't understand how

565
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,479
Speaker 2: much more they're going to be able to put up

566
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: with here and how much more pain Canada is going

567
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 2: to be able to absorb before they just finally capitulate.

568
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: Britney Spears has sold the rights to her entire music catalog,

569
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: meaning that she has given up ownership of all of

570
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: her hit songs, and the deal was reportedly about two

571
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. So that's the latest trend, right you've

572
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: got major artists who've done similar deals like Justin Bieber

573
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: and Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. They're just trying to

574
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: cash in on future earnings now.

575
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want a big payday now. And then you've

576
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: got other artists like Taylor Swift who spent years and

577
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: years and hundreds of millions of dollars to buy her

578
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: rights back. So it all depends on the individual artist.

579
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: Do you want that long term income or are you

580
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: looking for a big payday today? And Britney Spears got

581
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: a two hundred million dollar payday for this.

582
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: She was looking for that money now, money me money.

583
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: Now you're listening to ninety three wibcay
