We 61 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: got all of these new vaccine in seventy two shots 62 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: sixteen vaccines and now even more because we're doing the 63 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: HPV vaccine. And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: an explosion in chronic disease and American children the neurological 65 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: disease is suddenly exploded in nineteen eighty nine, eighty D 66 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: eighty HD, sleep disorders, languish un delays, ASD, autism, to 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: red syndrome, ticks, narcilepsy. These are all things that I 68 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: never heard of. Autism went from one in ten thousand 69 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: of my generation, according to the CDC data, one in 70 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: every thirty four kids today. 71 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: Bad boice, bad boy. 72 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: What a terrible crash last night over the Potomac in Washington, 73 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 4: d C. 74 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 9: An American Airlines flight colliding with a black Hawk helicopter. 75 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 4: Presumed sixty dead. 76 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 9: They are have been through the night, were in relatively 77 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 9: short order fishing some of. 78 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: Those bodies out of the water. I do not believe 79 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: they have recovered all of them. Obviously. 80 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 9: My understanding is that you could only survive in that 81 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 9: water under the best of conditions at that temperature for 82 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 9: about thirty minutes if you hadn't just fallen. 83 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Out of an airplane. 84 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 9: But they continued the search and rescue operations through the 85 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 9: night and are actually continuing at this point, although I 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 9: suspect unfortunately that is more search than rescue, but of 87 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 9: course we hope for the best. President Trump is scheduled 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 9: to speak, was scheduled to speak begetting ten minutes ago. 89 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,799 Speaker 9: What typically happens, because I'm often asked what typically happens 90 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 9: in a situation like this as to why it doesn't 91 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 9: start on time, is that they're waiting on some information 92 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 9: that he would like to reveal, because typically he does 93 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 9: not get real time information as he's speaking. 94 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 10: Now. 95 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 9: I don't need everything to be Donald Trump Visa VI 96 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 9: Donald Joe Biden, but I will tell you it's very 97 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 9: comforting to see it a moment like this where the 98 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 9: American people would like to hear from our president. It's 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 9: very comforting that he says, yep, with whatever information we 100 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 9: have available, I will get up and state that to 101 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 9: the public, whether that's drones flying over the country or 102 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 9: what really happened in the jfk assassination or why our 103 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 9: military did what they did, and whether, well you're going 104 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 9: to hear it all, and I suspect he will answer 105 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 9: to the best of his ability with things that may 106 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 9: not have already been known, and the American people deserves 107 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 9: to know. So we're going to be kind of in 108 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 9: a holding pattern pun intended here for just a moment 109 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 9: until he does go to speak. I don't know if 110 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 9: our station will go long for him or whether there 111 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 9: will continue with the commercial break, but it won't matter 112 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 9: because we're going to give you. You're not going to 113 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 9: miss any of the press conference as it happens. You'll 114 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 9: get it all here and it'll be available all day 115 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 9: long if if you're not able to hear all of it. 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: So as soon as he comes to speak, we will 117 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: turn to that. 118 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 9: There is a lot of speculation, and I'm not going 119 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 9: to conjecture as to what he's going to say. But 120 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 9: from everything I'm seeing and the sources that I trust, 121 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 9: this does not appear from what I'm told to be 122 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 9: a terror attack. It does appear to have been an error. 123 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 9: Doesn't make the grief any easier to bear for the 124 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 9: loss of life. It doesn't make it any less concerning 125 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 9: because there's a lot of money spent on technology and 126 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 9: training and staffing to ensure that these sorts of things 127 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 9: do not happen. One of the things I've been reading 128 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 9: about this morning is something called a flarm, which is 129 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 9: a flight alarm, which in this case was I'm told 130 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 9: not available and might have avoided this. And the simple 131 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 9: answer is, well, why wouldn't you have it if it's available? Well, 132 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 9: what is that worth? If you're in economics, is the 133 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 9: allocation of scarce resources. If it costs five million dollars 134 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 9: per bird to put it on, do you do it? 135 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 9: And people will say yes if it saves one life, 136 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 9: which means you've never had to make decisions with scarce 137 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 9: resources for the good of the whole. Because it's not 138 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 9: worth saving one life at a cost of five million 139 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 9: dollars when there are other things that could be done 140 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 9: that might cost five hundred thousand dollars and would save 141 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 9: ten lives. 142 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know about that. 143 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 9: I do know this, you don't have the money for 144 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 9: a flarm that I'm told could have prevented this when 145 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 9: you send all your money to the Ukraine. I do 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 9: know that I know that for everything you tell me 147 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 9: we don't have the money for, we do have the 148 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 9: mo I need to send billions of dollars to Ukraine 149 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 9: and any number of other countries. The President just this 150 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 9: week freezing funding to Burma that was going toward minority scholarships. 151 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 9: The minority party in Hungary is screaming and hollering that 152 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 9: there was a freeze of money sent to Hungary that 153 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 9: was being used for the minority press there. What in 154 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 9: the hell are we paying for? The President should be 155 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 9: speaking by the time we come back. 156 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 4: You are listening to the Michael Berry Show. 157 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 7: We didn't learn our lesson President Trump's press conferences. They 158 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 7: typically don't start on time. President was scheduled to speak 159 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 7: at ten am Central. We are now twenty past and 160 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 7: he has not spoken yet. 161 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: There is an art. 162 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 9: To conducting a show when you're waiting on a press conference, 163 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 9: because as you want to catch the beginning of what 164 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 9: he's saying, so you don't want to go too deep 165 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 9: into a discussion. That would prevent that, and you can 166 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 9: end up in the mix, being thirty minutes into a show. 167 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 4: Without being able to do anything other than. 168 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 9: We're not going to do that, so I will start 169 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 9: the show, and whenever the President begins to speak, will 170 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 9: immediately stop. 171 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 4: Fair done. 172 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 9: The man who said on the Senate floor that Donald 173 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 9: Trump was a Russian asset. 174 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 4: Oh, and just like that, here comes our president.

The President of 177 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 4: the United States, Donald Trump. 178 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 5: I'd like to request a moment of silence for the 179 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 5: victims and their families. 180 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: Please, thank you very much. I speak to you this 181 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: morning in an hour of anguish for a nation. 182 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 5: Just before nine pm last night in American Airlines, regional 183 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 5: jet carrying sixty passengers and four crew collided with an 184 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 5: Army black Hawk helicopter carrying three military service members over 185 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 5: the Potomac River in Washington, DC while on final approach. 186 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 3: To Rega national airport. 187 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 5: Both aircraft crashed instantly and were immediately submerged into the 188 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: icy waters of the Potomac. 189 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: Real tragedy. 190 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 5: The massive search and rescue mission was underway throughout the night, 191 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 5: leveraging every asset at our disposal. And I have to 192 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 5: say the local, state, federal military, including the United States 193 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 5: Coast Guard in particular, they've done a phenomenal job. So quick, 194 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 5: so fast, it was mobilized immediately. The work has now 195 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 5: shifted to a recovery mission. Sadly, there are no survivors. 196 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 5: This was a dark and excruciating night in our nation's 197 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 5: capital and in our nation's history, and a tragedy of 198 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 5: terrible proportions. As one nation, we grieve for every precious 199 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 5: soul that has been taken from us so suddenly, and 200 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 5: we are a country of really we are in mourning. 201 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 5: This is really shaking a lot of people, including people 202 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 5: very sadly. 203 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: From other nations who were on the flood. 204 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 5: For the family members back in Wichita, Kansas, Here in 205 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: Washington and throughout the United States, and in Russia. We 206 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 5: have a Russia contingents, very talented people. Unfortunately we're on 207 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 5: that plane, very very very sorry about that. Whose loved 208 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 5: ones were board the passenger jet. We can only begin 209 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 5: to imagine the agony that you're all feeling. Nothing worse 210 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 5: on behalf of the first Lady, myself and three hundred 211 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 5: and forty million Americans. Our hearts are shattered alongside yours, 212 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 5: and our prayers are with you now and in the 213 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 5: days to come. 214 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: We'll be working very very diligently in the days to come. 215 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: We're here for you to wipe away the tears and 216 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 5: to offer you our devotion, our love, and our support. 217 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 3: There's great support. In moments like this. 218 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 5: The differences between Americans fade to nothing compared to the 219 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 5: bonds of affection and loyalty that unite us all, both 220 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 5: as Americans and even as nations. 221 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: We are one family, and today we are all heartbroken. 222 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 5: We're all searching for answers that icy Potomac is it cold, 223 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 5: cold night, cold water. 224 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 3: We're all overcome with de grief for many. 225 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 5: Who have so tragically perished will no longer be with 226 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 5: us together. We take solace in the knowledge at their 227 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 5: journey ended not in the cold waters of the Potomac, 228 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 5: but in the warm embrace of a loving God. 229 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: We did not know what led to this crash, but 230 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: we have some very strong opinions and. 231 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 5: Ideas, and I think we'll probably state those opinions now 232 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,079 Speaker 5: because over the years I've watched as things like this 233 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 5: happen and they say, well, we're always investigating, and then 234 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 5: the investigation three years later they announced it. We think 235 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 5: we have some pretty good ideas, but we'll find out 236 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 5: how this disaster occurred and will ensure that nothing like 237 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 5: this ever happens again. The FAA and the NTSB and 238 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 5: the US military will be carrying out a systematic and 239 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 5: comprehensive investigation. Our new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, his 240 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 5: second day. 241 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 3: On the job. 242 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 5: When that happens, we said, a rough one. We'll be 243 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 5: working tirelessly. He's a great gentleman. The whole group is, 244 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 5: these are great people, and they are working tirelessly. 245 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: To figure out exactly what happened. 246 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: We will state certain opinions, however, I'm also immediately appointing 247 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 5: an acting Commissioner to the FAA, Christopher Rochelieu, a twenty 248 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: two year veteran of the agency. 249 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: Highly respected. Christopher, thank you very much. Appreciate it. 250 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 5: You must have only the highest standards for those who 251 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 5: work in our aviation system. I changed the Obama standards 252 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 5: from very mediocre at best to extraordinary. 253 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: You remember that only the highest aptitude they have to 254 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: be the. 255 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 5: Highest intellect and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify 256 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 5: for air traffic controllers. That was not so prior to 257 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 5: getting there. When I arrived in twenty sixteen. I made 258 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 5: that change very early on because I always felt this 259 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 5: was a job and other jobs too, but this was 260 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 5: a job that had to be superior intelligence and. 261 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: We didn't really have that, and we had it. 262 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 5: And then when I left office and Biden took over, 263 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 5: he changed them back. 264 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 4: All right, very quickly. Stations. 265 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 9: If you want to stay live with President Trump, just 266 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 9: stay where you are. If you're taking a brief break, 267 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 9: this is the moment when you'll do that to be 268 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 9: more commiss. 269 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: At a level that nobody's That was at the same height. 270 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 5: Obviously when they hit, but pretty much the same height 271 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 5: and going at an angle that was unbelievably bad. When 272 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 5: the air traffic controller said do you see you know 273 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 5: he's talking about do you see him? But there was 274 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 5: very little time left when that was stated, and then 275 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 5: also he said follow him in. 276 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: And then almost immediately. 277 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 5: After that, you know, seconds after that, there was the 278 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: crash that took place. Well, you follow them in, that 279 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 5: means like everything's fine, follow them in. 280 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: You had a pilot problem from. 281 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 5: The standpoint of the helicopter, I mean, because it was visual. 282 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 5: It was a very clear night. It was cold, but 283 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 5: clear and clear as you could be. The American Airlines 284 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 5: plane had lights blazing, They had all their landing lights on. 285 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 5: I could see it from the Kennedy Center tape. We 286 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 5: had a tape up on the Kennedy Center that seems 287 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 5: to be the primary thus far. I'm sure we'll see 288 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: other tapes because it's such an area where there's a 289 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 5: lot of cameras, a lot of cameras looking up into 290 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 5: the air into space, so we'll probably see many other 291 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 5: shots of it before too much time goes by. 292 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: But we had a situation where you had. 293 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 5: A helicopter that had the ability to stop. I have helicopters. 294 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 5: You can stop a helicopter very quickly. It had the 295 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 5: ability to go up or down. It had the ability 296 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 5: to turn, and the turn it made was not the 297 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 5: correct turn, obviously, and it did somewhat the opposite of 298 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 5: what it was told. We don't know that that would 299 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 5: have been the difference because the timing was so tight, 300 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 5: it was so it was so little, there was so 301 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 5: little time to think. 302 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 3: But what you did have is you had vision. The 303 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 3: helicopter had vision. 304 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 5: Of the plane because you had vision of it all 305 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 5: the way, perfect vision of it all the way from 306 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 5: at Kennedy Center where the tape was taken, and for 307 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 5: some reason there weren't adjustments made. Again, you could have 308 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 5: slowed down the helicopter substantially. You could have stopped the helicopter. 309 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 5: You could have gone up, you could have gone down. 310 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 5: You could have gone straight up, straight down, You could 311 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 5: have turned, You could have done a million different maneuvers. 312 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 5: For some reason, it just kept going and then made 313 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 5: a slight turn at the very end, and there was by. 314 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 3: That time it was too late. 315 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 5: They shouldn't have been at the same height, because if 316 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 5: it was at the same height, you could have gone 317 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 5: under it or over it, and nobody realized or they 318 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 5: didn't say that it's at the same height. At the 319 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 5: same height, it would still wouldn't have been great, but 320 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 5: you would have missed it by quite a bit. Could 321 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 5: have been a thousand feet higher, it could have been 322 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 5: two hundred feet lower, but it was exactly at the 323 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 5: same height, and somebody should have been able to point 324 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 5: that out. 325 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 3: So all of this is going to be studied. 326 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 5: But it just seems to me from a couple of 327 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 5: words that I like to use, the words common sense, 328 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 5: some really bad things happened, and some things happened that 329 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 5: shouldn't have happened. So you had a helicopter going in 330 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 5: an identical direction. 331 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 3: You had a helicopter that was at the. 332 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 5: Exact same height as somebody going in essentially the opposite direction. 333 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 5: You had a plane that was following a track, which 334 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 5: is a track that every other plane followed. And I 335 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 5: don't imagine I know I've heard today that they'd might 336 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 5: have been following the preceding plane, which was pretty close, 337 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 5: but not that close the preceding plane, but you wouldn't 338 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 5: have even been able to see that because of the 339 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 5: direction that the helicopter was. 340 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 3: Coming in at. 341 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 5: So you had a confluence of bad decisions that were made, 342 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: and you have people that lost their lives, violently lost 343 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 5: their lives. 344 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 3: We're going to take a few questions. 345 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 5: I'd like to ask our new Secretary of Transportation to 346 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 5: say a few words, John Duffy, Great, gentlemen, just started. 347 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: It's not your fault, and I know you agree with 348 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 3: me very. 349 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 5: Strongly on intellect and even psychological well being of the 350 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 5: air traffic control such an important position, and I think 351 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: I can't emphasize stronger. I changed it when I first ran, 352 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 5: and twenty sixteen I changed it. We had the highest 353 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 5: standard that you could have, and then they changed it 354 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 5: back that was biden to a standard. 355 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 3: You just I read it to you. 356 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 5: That was from one of your papers. One of the 357 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 5: people in this room, Map actually wrote that, and then 358 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 5: I changed it back a few days ago, and unfortunately 359 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 5: that was we'll see. We don't know that necessarily, it's 360 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 5: even the controller's fault. But one thing we do know 361 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 5: there was a lot of vision and people should have 362 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 5: been able to see that. At what point do you stop? 363 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 5: At what point do you say, wow, that plane's getting 364 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 5: a little bit close. So this is a tragedy that 365 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,719 Speaker 5: should not have happened. 366 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 3: Please do. 367 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 11: Thank you, miss President, and I would just note the 368 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 11: President's leadership has been remarkable during this crisis. We've had 369 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 11: a whole of government response, local, state, federal, and when 370 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 11: you see that kind of cooperation, it begins with the 371 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 11: leadership in this body. So thank you for that, mister President. 372 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 11: You make our jobs a lot easier. You made an 373 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 11: important point that when we deal with safety, we can 374 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 11: only accept the best and the brightest in positions of 375 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 11: safety that impact the lives of our loved ones, our 376 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 11: family members. 377 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 3: And I think you make a really important point on that, 378 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 3: mister President. 379 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 11: That is the motto of your presidency, the best and 380 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 11: the brightest, the most intelligent coming. 381 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: Into these spaces. 382 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 11: I want to take a moment and extend my condolences 383 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 11: to the families of the loved ones.

What 388 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 3: happened yesterday shouldn't have happened. 389 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 4: It should not have happened. 390 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 11: Americans take off in airplanes, they should expect to land 391 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 11: at their destination. That didn't happen yesterday. That's not acceptable, 392 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 11: and so we will not accept excuses. We will not 393 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,959 Speaker 11: accept passing the buck. We are going to take responsibility 394 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 11: at the Department of Transportation. 395 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: And the FAA to make sure we have the reforms. 396 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 11: That have been dictated by President Trump in place to 397 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 11: make sure that these mistakes do not happen again. And again, 398 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 11: I want to thank you for your leadership, mister President, 399 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 11: and I appreciate that the confidence you placed in meet. 400 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 4: Thank you with rich. 401 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 3: Pete j acsousation. 402 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: Well, thank you Visual President. 403 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 3: Again. 404 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 2: I want to echo what the Transportation Secretary said about 405 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 2: your leadership. From the moment we found out about this, 406 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: we were in contact with the White House trying to 407 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 2: determine exactly what happened. 408 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 3: I would echo it as well, no excuses. 409 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 4: We're going to get to the bottom of this. 410 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 2: First and foremost from the Defense Department, want to pass 411 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: our condolences to the sixty four souls and their families 412 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: that were affected by this.

ARMYCID is on. 423 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: The ground investigating top tier aviation assets inside the DoD 424 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 2: are investigating, Sir, to get to the bottom of it 425 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: so that it does not happen again, because it's absolutely unacceptable. 426 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 2: But I want to echo what the Transportation tectary, and you, 427 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: mister President, said, because it pertains to the d D 428 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: as well, we will have the best and brightest in 429 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 2: every position those affiliates as going to a brief break. 430 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 4: Now is the time otherwise, stay right here. 431 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: The best leaders possible, whether it's flying black hawks and 432 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 2: flying airplanes, leading platoons. 433 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 4: So what plan did you have? Are we going to 434 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 4: see some fire? 435 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 11: Are you going to find some ociles that they are 436 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 11: sitting higher in the federal government? 437 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: What's planned? 438 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 12: Do you? 439 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 5: I would say the entry is yes, we've found that 440 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 5: people aren't mentally competent. 441 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 3: You see the language. 442 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 5: The language is put out by them, and if you 443 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 5: see that, I'm not going to bore you by reading 444 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 5: it again. But these are not people that we should 445 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 5: be doing this particular job. It'd be very good for 446 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 5: certain jobs, but not people that should be doing this 447 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 5: particular job. 448 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 13: Resident, you've today blamed the diversity elements, but then told 449 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 13: us that you weren't sure that the controllers made any mistake. 450 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 13: He then said, perhaps the helicopter pilots were the ones 451 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 13: who made the mistakes. 452 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: So all under investigations. I understand that. 453 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 13: That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can 454 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 13: come to the conclusion right now that diversity has something 455 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 13: to do with. 456 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 5: This crash because they have common sense, okay, and unfortunately 457 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 5: a lot of people don't. 458 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 3: We want brilliant people doing this. 459 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 5: This is a major chess game at the highest level 460 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 5: when you have sixty planes coming in during a short 461 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 5: period of time in the role, coming. 462 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 3: In different directions, and you're dealing with very high level. 463 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 5: Computer computer work and very complex computers. And one of 464 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 5: the other things I will tell you is that the 465 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 5: systems that were built. I was going to rebuild the 466 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: entire system, and then we had an election that didn't 467 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 5: turn out the way it should have. But they didn't 468 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 5: build the systems properly. They spent a lot of money 469 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 5: renovating a system, spending much more money than they would 470 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: have spent. 471 00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: If they bought a new system. 472 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 5: For traffic control is meaning the computerized systems. There are 473 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 5: certain companies that do a very good job. 474 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 3: They didn't use those companies. They use companies that should 475 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 3: not have been doing it. 476 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 5: So I think this, I think it's very important to 477 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 5: understand that for some jobs, and not only this, but 478 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: air traffic controllers, they have to be at the highest 479 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 5: level of genius. 480 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 14: Okay, I want to ask you about the ice skaters 481 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 14: in a moment, because the US ice skating community was affected. 482 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 14: But first of I can the site of FAA tax 483 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 14: that you read is real. But the implication that this 484 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 14: policy is newer than it stems from efforts that began 485 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 14: under present by nor the Transportation Secretary Pete Buddhajege is 486 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 14: demonstrably false. It's been on the FASU. No, it's on 487 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 14: the website, the FA's website. He was there at twenty thirteen. 488 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 14: It was there for the entirety what I read. It 489 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 14: was there for the entirety of your administration too. So 490 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 14: my question is why didn't you change the policy during 491 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 14: your first administry? 492 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: Did change? 493 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 5: I changed the Obama policy and we had a very 494 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 5: good policy, and then Biden came in and he changed it. 495 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 5: And then when I came in two days three days ago, 496 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: I signed a new order bringing it to the highest 497 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 5: level of intelligence. 498 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: Okay, please. 499 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 10: Welcome back to the sorry you mentioned.
