1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Oh, it's absolutely upseeing dangerous bad. Virtually every investment made

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: is a conjob. There's nothing of value to anybody unless

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: there's a kickback scheme going on, which is possible in

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: the entrillions of dollars being absolutely wasted.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: And perhaps illingally.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 4: Good Tuesday morning, Ben Ferguson with you. It's so nice

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 4: to have you with us. And these are the big

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 4: stories we're covering today on the forty seven Morning Update.

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 4: First up, Donald Trump is now asking for your help

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 4: in finding government waste.

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: He's also asking.

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: For government employees to let him know exactly what they

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 4: can do to cut out waste where they're working. Liberals

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 4: are angry. I'll have that story for you in just

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: a moment. Also, you may remember the botched withdrawal from

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 4: Afghanistan in August of twenty twenty one cost the lives

18
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 4: of thirteen US service members. What was even worse than

19
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: that is the fact there was zero accountability. No one

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 4: lost their job under the bi in Harris administration. Well,

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 4: we now have been told there is an investigation underway

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 4: to find out exactly what happened and what the cover

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 4: up was.

24
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: I'll explain who's in charge of it in just a moment.

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 4: And finally, Donald Trump is calling for major reform at

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 4: the FAA.

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: So what'd the media do.

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 4: They're now blaming Donald Trump and Elon Musk for a

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 4: plane crash, not in America but in Canada. It's the

30
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Story number one.

32
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: There's a word we're.

33
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 4: Starting to hear come out of the White House, and

34
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: the word is called kickbacks. Apparently, now many people in

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 4: our government have been using your tax dollars to quote

36
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: invest in different things, and in reality they may have

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: just been servicing themselves with kickbacks. The President talking about

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 4: this at the White House, saying, it's time that we

39
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: demand to know who is on the take and why

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 4: they were making investments in the things that should have

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: never been allowed.

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: It's absolutely obscene, dangerous, spared, very costly. I mean, virtually

43
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: every investment made is a conjob. There's nothing of value

44
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: to anybody unless there's a kickback scheme going on, which

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: is possible, and we're going to be doing more and

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: more of that. We're going to be looking at Department

47
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: of education. We're going to be looking at even our military.

48
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: We're going to be looking at tremendous amounts of money

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Peter are being spent on things that bear no relationship

50
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to anything, that have no value. We're talking about trillions

51
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: of dollars. It will be in the end trillions of

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: dollars being absolutely wasted, and perhaps illegally, I would say

53
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: certainly in many cases illegally, but perhaps illegally overall. And

54
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the job that this group of

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: young people, generally young people, but very smart people they're doing.

56
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: They're doing it at my insistence. It would be a

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: lot easier not to do it. But we have to

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: take some of these things apart to find the corruption.

59
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: We found tremendous corruption.

60
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: We found tremendous corruption.

61
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 4: Now the President is asking for government employees help and

62
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: also the public's help. The Department of Government Efficiency is

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 4: quote looking for help identifying government waste, setting up more

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: than two dozen affiliates to help organize the mass effort

65
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: to audit the federal government after years of unchecked waste,

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: fraud and abuse. Quote dog is looking for help from

67
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: the general public. Please DM insights for reducing waste, fraud

68
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 4: and abuse. So along with any helpful insights or awesome

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 4: ideas to the relevant DOGE affiliates found on the affiliates

70
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: tab it was posted online. For example, they say you

71
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: can check out doge USDA or doge SSA. It announced

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: adding it plans to add more affiliates as time goes on. Indeed,

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: a brief look at Dog's affiliates tablists show more than

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: two dozen DOGE accounts designed for various departments across the government.

75
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: There is a Doge for the Department of State, the

76
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: US Interior, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, National Parks,

77
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: the Department of Education, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department

78
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: of Transportation FEMA, even the IRS, and the Treasury Department,

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: among others. The White House saying it's time for the

80
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: people that work in these agencies that want to expose

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 4: what's been going on to have a place, a safe

82
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: place to do it. Now, the announcement comes on the

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: hills of doges highlighting waste in relation to the Treasury Department. Now,

84
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: this is a perfect example of just how egregious government

85
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 4: waste is in our government. The Treasury processed one hundred

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 4: and sixteen million paper checks in the fiscal year twenty

87
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: twenty four. Now you may say, what's the big deal, Well,

88
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 4: let's go back to the fiscal year twenty twenty three

89
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 4: when there was twenty five billion in tax refunds that

90
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: were delayed or lost due to a returned or expired check.

91
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 4: Coach has now uncovered. What's even more shocking than that

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: is quote the Treasury maintains a physical lock box network

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 4: to collect checks for tax irs, passports the state Department,

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: and it costs approximately two dollars and forty cents per

95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 4: check to maintain this lock box network. Now you may say, okay,

96
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like a lot of money. Well, here's where

97
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: DOGE came in. If we deleted the paper checks, it

98
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: would have saved at least seven hundred and fifty million

99
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: dollars for taxpayers per year. The Department of Government Efficiency

100
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 4: says it's long overdue for us to get rid of

101
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: the paper checks that are costing you seven hundred and

102
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 4: fifty million dollars a year.

103
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: That's not all.

104
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 4: DOGES also provide a list of massive wins for American

105
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: taxpayers over the weekend, listing some of the shocking ways

106
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 4: that American taxpayer dollars were posed to be used and

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: they stopped it. It included ten million for the Mozambique

108
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 4: Voluntary medical mail circumcision program. Your tax dollars, we're going

109
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 4: to go to that, fourteen million dollars for improving public

110
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: procurement not in America but in Serbia, twenty nine million

111
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: to quote strengthen political landscape in Bangladesh, and fourteen million

112
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 4: for social cohesion in Mali. Also another forty seven million

113
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: for improving learning outcomes not in America in Asia, and

114
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 4: nineteen million for biodiversity conservation in Nepal. These plans, according

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 4: to DOJE, have all been canceled. The President is now

116
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: asking and DOGE is asking for you to get involved

117
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: and tell them where you may have found waste, fraud

118
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: and abuse as well.

119
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Next story number two.

120
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: One of the main promises that Donald Trump said if

121
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 4: he was reelected would be accountability. One of the things

122
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: on his list was clear Afghanistan and the bots withdraw

123
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: on that arbitrary date from the Biden Harris administration. During

124
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: that US withdrawal from Afghanistan, in August of twenty twenty one,

125
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 4: thirteen US service members were killed in a suicide bombing

126
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. It happened on

127
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 4: August to twenty sixth. The attack was carried out by

128
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 4: isis K and also resulted in the deaths of more

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: than one hundred and seventy Afghan civilians. The thirteen US

130
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: service members that were killed included eleven Marines, one Navy corman,

131
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: and one Army soldier. Additionally, eighteen other US service members

132
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: were wounded in that attack and beyond this attack, several

133
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: other military and civilian casualties occurred throughout the withdrawal, but

134
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: the bombing was the deadliest single incident for US troops

135
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: in Afghanistan in over a decade. Not a single person

136
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: was held accountable for the decisions that were made on

137
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 4: that day or in the days before or after. It

138
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: was completely whitewashed by the Biden Harris administration because Joe

139
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: Biden was obsessed at saying he was the president that

140
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: ended America's longest war and he went to grand stand

141
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: on the anniversary of nine to eleven. Well, accountability is coming.

142
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: The Defense Secretary, at the behest of the president has

143
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 4: now said in an interview that he has already picked

144
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 4: investigators who are going to be looking into the disastrous

145
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 4: Afghanistan withdrawal. Quote, we've already identified the folks that will

146
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 4: be in charge of that full investigation inside the Pentagon.

147
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: I don't have a timeframe on it. We've already waited

148
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: two and a half years, three years since what occurred.

149
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to wait longer, but I always want

150
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: to get.

151
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: It right, he said. Now.

152
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: In July of twenty twenty one, as I mentioned, the

153
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: Biden administration launched that chaotic withdrawal of the US troops

154
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: and the embassy officials from Afghanistan that led to those

155
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 4: thirteen US service members dying. Part of the other untold

156
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 4: story is the fact that there are countless people well

157
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: that helped Americans, those that were translators, those that risked

158
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 4: their lives to save American lives who were then hunted

159
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 4: down by the Taliban after we withdrew. Now, in addition

160
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: to that, hundreds of Americans were actually left behind. Despite

161
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 4: the Biden administration touting the withdrawal as a success and

162
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: bragging about conducting the quote largest withdrawal in American history.

163
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 4: On its way out, the US military conducted a strike

164
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: meant to target the suicide bomber made things even worse

165
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 4: when it ended up killing an AID worker and his

166
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 4: family instead than Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at the time,

167
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 4: Mark Milly, touted it as a quote righteous strike. No

168
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 4: leader was held accountable or fired for any of this.

169
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 4: Only Marine Colonel Stuart Scheller, who demanded accountability in a

170
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 4: viral video, lost his career. Now the good news is

171
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: President Trump tried to write that wrong and appointed him

172
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 4: as his senior advisor to the Defense under Secretary for

173
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 4: Personnel and Readiness. Again, thank goodness, Donald Trump was reelected.

174
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: Head Seth said accountability is coming, and that's what he

175
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: wants the American people to know about.

176
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: Quote.

177
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 4: The way you establish real accountability is by establishing real

178
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 4: fact chains, chains of events information. What happened, why did

179
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: it happen, Who made the decisions, What was the reason

180
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 4: they made that decision, Why did they give advice or

181
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: not give advice? Why did they execute an order a

182
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: certain way? Did they speak up when they were supposed

183
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: to or did they sit quietly. I don't think there's

184
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: anybody that feels like there's been an honest accounting of

185
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 4: what happened in Afghanistan that is our job, Pete hedg

186
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: Seth said, So we're going to drive the full investigation

187
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: and get a full sense of what happened. And as

188
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: I stated to the workforce on Friday, I guess less

189
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: than a week ago, accountability will be coming for what

190
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: happened in Afghanistan. So what's important is to re establish

191
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: trust at the Defense Department.

192
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: And here is story number three.

193
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 4: There's a very good chance you actually don't hate the

194
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: mainstream media as much as you should. A perfect example

195
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 4: of this is what happened on Monday. There was a

196
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 4: news story that broke, and that was a story that

197
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 4: Elon Musk and SpaceX were coming in to help overhaul

198
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 4: the FAA.

199
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: Why Well, after the deadly plane crash in Washington, d C.

200
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 4: Just a few weeks ago, it is very clear that

201
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 4: our FAA and our system that controls airplanes is archaic

202
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 4: and in much need of an upgrade. Well, the media

203
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: cannot stand what's happening with Donald Trump and Elon Musk,

204
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: So now they're trying to blame the two of them

205
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: for a plane crash that happened on Monday outside of

206
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: the United States of America. NBC News went on Live

207
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: TV blaming Trump, Musk and Doge for an airplane flipping

208
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: while landing in Canada, not in America, but in Canada.

209
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: Take a listen.

210
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 5: I did want to, you know, underscore, to pick up

211
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: on the conversation you were just having. Though, in terms

212
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 5: of the recent string of aviation incidents, Tom, this is

213
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 5: gonna yet again raised a concern about FAA staffing air

214
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 5: traffic control staffing. Now, this is a Canadian air traffic

215
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: control tower, and this is under Canadian authority.

216
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: Once it crosses the border.

217
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 5: And yet, as you know, there has been this talk

218
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 5: about maybe staff cuts at the FAA as a part

219
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: of President Trump's effort to trim down the federal workforce.

220
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: And yet, as you also know, the FAA has been

221
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 5: complaining for years that they are understaffed and critical job positions,

222
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 5: especially air traffic control. I was having a conversation with

223
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 5: somebody today about whether air traffic control in America is

224
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: being affected by the staff cuts so far, not to

225
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: their knowledge, and yet other positions related to maintaining critical

226
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: equipment appeared to have been cut. So this is going

227
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 5: to feed into all of these recent incidents, and the

228
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: safety of the total air traffic system is going to

229
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: be very much a part of the conversation as we

230
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 5: go forward, at least on this side of the country

231
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: of the border, I should say.

232
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: So, let's be clear about what you just heard.

233
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: NBC News is telling you that this plane was not

234
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: under the control of FAA. It was under the control

235
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 4: of Canada's air traffic control tower, and it was under

236
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: quote Canadian authority once it crossed the border. And yet

237
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: they are blaming Donald Trump and Elon Musk for fictitious

238
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: job cuts that had nothing to do with what was

239
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 4: happening in Canada. They also are saying that even after

240
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: they looked into this, no one is saying that the

241
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: people that were being cut by DOGE at the Transportation

242
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 4: Administration or the FAA had anything to do with unsafe

243
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: flying conditions or people not being in the tower to

244
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: control the airplanes. However, they s don't wanted you to

245
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 4: blame Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and DOGE for a plane

246
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: that flipped over in Canada, not in the United States

247
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: of America. If you don't hate the media after hearing this,

248
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: you need to pay more attention to exactly what they're doing.

249
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: One final thought on this story, as they're saying this

250
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 4: on NBC News. They are taking a picture of the

251
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: plane as it is flipped upside down and behind them

252
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: on the hangar in massive red letters, it says Air Canada.

253
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 4: Hopefully the American people are smart enough to be looking

254
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: at this crash and realizing this has nothing to do

255
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 4: with Donald Trump.
