1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show

Speaker 2: Well, hey, it's Wednesday. It's Opening Day, Yankees Opening Day

Speaker 2: to day. Unfortunately, you can't see the game unless you

00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 2: have Netflix, but most people have Netflix. It's the first

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: time opening days. Tonight they're playing in San Francisco, first

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: time the Yankee home day, Opening Day, which is a

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: big day, a lot of ceremonies, a lot of stuff,

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: first time. It won't be on regular television. You gotta

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: have Netflix to see it. Mets Opening Day is tomorrow,

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: So baseball season underway as of tonight. A lot to

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: get to today. We'll get to the latest on Iran

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: negotiations are taking place, that has been confirmed by both sides.

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: Now they've been taking place. We'll get to the latest

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: on Iran. We'll get to Savannah Guthrie, We'll get to LaGuardia,

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: and we'll get to crazy Mayor Mom Donnie, who now

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: wants to put tariffs on businesses here in New York.

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: The TSA, now it's interesting. The TSA still a big,

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: big shortage. Ice agents are doing a great job in

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 2: the airport. Despite what Chuck Schumer said, they're not shooting

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: people despite what Blumenthal and all the other Democrats that

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: there would be in the airport brutalizing people shooting, no

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: gun find in the airport from ICE agents. And the

24
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: problem is they've now made the negotiations are taking place

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: between the Republicans and the Democrats. They've actually made a

26
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: lot of progress in the negotiations, Republicans submitting to the

27
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Democrats a deal that would be exactly what they wanted,

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: and Democrats turning it down. Now. The reason they're turning

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: it down is they believe, through their own polling, through

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: their own surveys, that the voters are blaming the Republicans

31
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: right now, there's no reason to do that. The Republicans

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: aren't really behind this, but that's what they believe is

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: the perception. So as long as they think the Republicans

34
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: are getting blamed, they'll keep this shutdown going. And this

35
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: tsa problem going. As long as it looks like it's

36
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 2: helping them, doesn't matter what's really true. So that's why

37
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: the delay they've offered the Republicans are offered every now.

38
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: The problem is the Republicans have to do more messaging wise. Now,

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,279
Speaker 2: you got to remember, the Democrats will blame the Republicans

40
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: and the fake news the media will join in and

41
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: blame the Republicans. So for people not paying such close attention,

42
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: there's the perception that the Republicans that close down the government,

43
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 2: which when it's actually not true. So Republicans have to

44
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: do more. They got to go to the airports. They

45
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: got to hold press conferences there. They got to be

46
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: right there for great visuals, great optics, and explain what's

47
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: really going on. They're reporters all over. Let's see the

48
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: Atlanta Airport.

49
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 3: And there seems to be war lines open than normal

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: right now with the TSA workers here breezing people through.

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up

52
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: shot at how short the lines are.

53
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the ICE agents have pretty much solved the problem

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: in a lot of airports. But again Republicans have to

55
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: go there, bring the cameras there, and let everybody see this.

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: Let's check the Philadelphia Airport.

57
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 4: ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia, but I do

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: want to point out this is an empty line right now.

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: We are standing in the middle where travelers come to

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: check in for TSA. Yesterday this was all the way

61
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: back to the garage. So good news today lines aren't

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: too bad.

63
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: TSA helping out Phoenix Airport.

64
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: Most of the travelers we spoke would say, well, it's disappointing.

65
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: The current shutdown is having a negative impact on TSA staff.

66
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: They're pleased to see ICE agents stepping it.

67
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: They're protecting us. Yeah, but again, you need more coverage

68
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: of this. Republican's got to play this up. They got

69
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: to force the media to cover this a little more. Now,

70
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: what is it with Democrats and the ICE agents? They

71
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: hate these ICE agents. They've been a couple of ugly incidents,

72
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: but it's a billionth of one percent. Why do they

73
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: hate these ICE agents so much. Well, because they're rounding

74
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: up illegals and getting them out of the country, especially

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,839
Speaker 2: the criminal illegal aliens. Democrats want the illegals here. It's

76
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: very important to them. Now Chris Murphy, he's this crazy,

77
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: awful Connecticut senator, but the Democrats love him because he

78
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: says the most outlandish far left things in the world.

79
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: In fact, there are a lot of Democrats are now

80
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: looking to dump Schumer as the leader. Get rid of

81
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: Schumer in the Senate and put in Chris Murphy. Big push. Now,

82
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: get Schumer out and put in Chris Murphy. But listen

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: to this Chris Murphy speaking yesterday, and he's always on

84
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: every wherever there's a camera there, he is. He's as

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: bad as Schumer, just always running around doing TV shows, appearances.

86
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: But he slipped, he slipped. He actually spoke the truth

87
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: out loud. They're really just for illegals, more for illegals

88
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: than for Americans. Listen to Murphy make this slip.

89
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 5: That's been a failed play for twenty years. So you

90
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for

91
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 5: thirty years maybe, and it has failed to deliver for

92
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: are in this country.

94
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: The people we care about most, the undocumented. He actually

95
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: said it out loud. So it'll continue, but we'll see,

96
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: negotiations will continue. The lines are much better ICE agents

97
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: and again they're not shooting anybody all over the place.

98
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: Remember the crazy Bloomenthal in Connecticut said they would be

99
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: shooting people and brutalizing people and grabbing kids away from

100
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 2: their families. He actually said that. Hakim Jeffrey said that

101
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. And even Corey Booker jumped in yesterday

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: trying to say that these ICE agents they're violent, they're terrible.

103
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: He's taking that agency that is recklessly out of control

104
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: and bringing them tots under the lie that somehow.

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: This is gonna help deal with the long lines that

106
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: he created in the first place. This is an outrage Well,

107
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: the outrageous booker waited a couple of days too long,

108
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: because we've already done it for a couple of days,

109
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: and we've seen that they did make the lines longer.

110
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: They actually made the lions shorter. Tom Homan responded.

111
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 6: He's misleading American people. He's lying. I want him to

112
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: give me one example, just one when ices went into

113
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 6: a church to wrest somebody, or we went into a

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 6: hospital to wrest somebody, or we went into an elementary

115
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: school to wrest somebody. Just give me one example. You

116
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 6: know why he can't. There isn't anything.

117
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they just make up this stuff. They get

118
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: on MSNBC, they go on Morning Joe and they say

119
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 2: they're arresting people in churches, they're arresting people in hospitals.

120
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: A lot of people talking about Morning Joe yesterday the

121
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: argument was against the Save Act and Morning Joe pointing

122
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: to Mika and saying Mika does not know where her

123
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: birth certificate is. She can't find it, so she can't

124
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: vote in this country. Under this act, she cannot vote.

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: And a lot of people falling for this. This is

126
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 2: totally misleading every American. If you don't have your birth certificate,

127
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: you can get it replaced in two seconds. There's dozens

128
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: of websites you can go to. The government has one,

129
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: and there's plenty of private ones. You can go to

130
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: these websites. Just google it. Just google replacement birth certificate

131
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: and hundreds of websites will come up. You can go

132
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: to any of these websites. All you can do is

133
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: type in your information. They will find your birth certificate

134
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: and for a little fee, they'll send you a new

135
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: birth certificate. You can have it in about four days.

136
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: Anybody can get a replacement birth certificate. It's it's very

137
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 2: easy to use. So they're totally totally misleading America. And

138
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: always count on Chuck Schumer. He's the one that says this.

139
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Women are too stupid, they don't know how to get ID.

140
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: Minority voters too stupid, they don't know how to get

141
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: an ID.

142
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 7: Let's make it very clear, Donald Trump is the one

143
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 7: standing in the way of paychecks. For TSA workers with

144
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 7: a ridiculous attempt to pass the Save Act. Yeah, the

145
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 7: Save Act, which would destroy a lot of what we

146
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 7: know about democracy.

147
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: It Save Act just means you've got to be a

148
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: citizen to vote destroy democracy. Anyway, let's get to Iran.

149
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: There are negotiations tacond place. As we've been telling you,

150
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 2: Iran did put out a statement Monday, we have not

151
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: had any talks with the US. Well, technically that's true,

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: but they were kind of lying to you. We have

153
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: been in negotiations for quite a few days with Iran.

154
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: They were using a third party intermediary to negotiate. We

155
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: go through the third party. They go through the third party.

156
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 2: It's another nation. That's why Iran was technically able to

157
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: say we've had no talks with the US. They've been

158
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: working through a third party. Negotiations are They're going as expected.

159
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: The Iran is asked for all kinds of things that

160
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: we're never going to give them. They want control of everything.

161
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: There's President Trump on negotiation.

162
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 8: They're talking to us and they're talking sense. And remember

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 8: it all starts that they cannot have a nuclear weapon.

164
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 8: Just you know, I said yesterday they said, what are

165
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 8: the top ten. I said, well, number one, two and

166
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 8: three is they can't have a nuclear weapon.

167
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: Okay, now here's what it'll probably come down to. Iran

168
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: has given us like fourteen demands, twelve of which are ridiculous.

169
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: I think what it's going to come down to, they'll

170
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: end us at some point. The Straits of Hormuz. Now

171
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: it's not open technically, but there are ships coming through

172
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: the Straits of Hormoose right now and have been this week.

173
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 2: About ninety ships have come through, and they're ships that

174
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: are delivering Iranian oil and they're letting those ships through. Now,

175
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: the way they do it is they give them a code.

176
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 2: This is what they do also in a war in

177
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: the air, you know, when we're bombing the hell out

178
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: of Iraq and Israel's going to help us, other countries

179
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: are going to help us. Each plane has to transmit

180
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: a code. If it has the right code, we don't

181
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: attack them. They're allowed into the combat zone. So they're

182
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: using that technology on the Straits of horm Moose. If

183
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: the tanker has the right code, it can go through

184
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 2: the straits without being attacked. It transmits that code. Now,

185
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: what Iran is going to propose and so far, they've

186
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: let ninety ships come through because those ships are delivering

187
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: their oil. What they're going to propose is the use

188
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: that code system on tankers for anybody wants to get

189
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. If it's not one

190
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: of their tankers, they're going to want a fee, a

191
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: big fee. They're going to charge money to come through

192
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: the Straits of horm Moose. This is what the negotiation

193
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: will probably come down to, and from now on it'll

194
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: be a revenue generator. We'll have to pay to come

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 2: through the Straits of horm Moose. Now this is not unusual.

196
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: Egypt has been doing this for years with the Siuez Canal.

197
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: You got to pay a fee to go through the

198
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: Siuez Canal, bring your tanker through there. Now, it's not outrageous.

199
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: We do it all the time. You got to pay

200
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: a feed across every bridge, to go through every tunnel,

201
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: you got to pay a fee. It's easy pass congestion pricing,

202
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's probably going to be the

203
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: final thing that'll settle this Iran making a fee off that,

204
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: and they're gonna need money. They're gonna need to rebuild

205
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: the country, so it'll probably work. It'll come down to that. Hey,

206
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: LaGuardia Airport. Well, it looks like I mean, the controller

207
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: looks like he just went brain dead allowing the truck

208
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: to come onto the runway when he had already cleared

209
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: a plane to land. But I guess they're trying to

210
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: help the controller a little. I mean, it's just they're

211
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: saying it was a number of errors. So it was

212
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: that error, but it was also a number of errors.

213
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: There weren't enough controllers on the fire truck didn't have

214
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: a transponder. There's radar that keeps track of all the

215
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: planes in the air, but they also have ground radar

216
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: keeps track of every vehicle on the ground and matches

217
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: it up the planes. And to do that, each vehicle

218
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: has to have a transponder transmitting a signal. That's how

219
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: the radar picks it up. And that fire truck didn't

220
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: have a transponder on it. But most fire trucks usually

221
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,119
Speaker 2: don't have a working transponder. But here's the spokesman.

222
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: We have no indication there were transponders on any of

223
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the trucks, but there are transponders on other trucks at

224
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: other airports. Across the nation. In this case, they did

225
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: not have transponders.

226
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they're coming of all these explanations, but really

227
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: that controller he already cleared a plane to land. Once

228
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: you clear a plane to land, the plane owns the runway.

229
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: Nothing else comes on. So it was a big mistake. Now,

230
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: how many controllers were on? Were there enough?

231
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: We have identified the midshift generally as concern in other investigations,

232
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: largely due to fatigue because it spans that time frame

233
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: at your circadian low during the day when you're most fatigued.

234
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a little too much explanation the

235
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: circadian level, the fatigue when you're landing. I don't think

236
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: you want to know that the controller might be falling asleep.

237
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 2: Circadian level has to do with falling asleep fatigue. Do

238
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: you want a guy that's actually awake and watching the runway?

239
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: So hey, I did check on those some argument yesterday.

240
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: Whose fire trucks are they? They're not NYFD. I met

241
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: with the commissioner, the fire commissioner and all the top brass.

242
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: They do not control those fire trucks. They do come

243
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: in if it's a big fire. Those are Port Authority

244
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: fire trucks at the airport run by port authority. Are

245
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: they as good as NYFD? Nobody would answer on the record,

246
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: but I saw the looks in their faces, So you

247
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 2: don't don't count so much on those Port authority fire trucks,

248
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: not like the New York Fire Department, but when they're

249
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: in trouble and it's a big fire, they call in

250
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: the NAFD. But those were port authority fire trucks. And

251
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: again they didn't have transponders. There's a lot wrong with

252
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: the way things were run at LaGuardia Airport. Hey, Savannah

253
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: Guthrie finally did the first interview when she's going to

254
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: finally go on camera and talk at length. Well, Hoda

255
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Cottby the Today Show did the first interview and she

256
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: broke down. She cried, it's unbearable, it's agonizing, She went

257
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: through the whole story. It's just agony, unbearable. So just

258
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: heart wrenching. But always count on NBC to totally exploit

259
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: the situation. They've broken it up into two parts. It's

260
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 2: going to be on both days Thursday, Friday. They're already

261
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: promoting it. They want you to watch. They'll take advantage

262
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: of that pain and suffering trying to get people to

263
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: watch the Today Show. She is going to return to

264
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: the Today Show. They're looking at April tenth for the

265
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: return date. Hey, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred

266
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number,

267
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: So give me a call, especially if you haven't called before.

268
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. We just

269
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: give the number again. Some people say, well, you don't

270
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: give the number enough. Eight hundred three two one zero

271
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: seven ten
