Speaker 2: John and Nathan.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 4: More and more of the focus is turning to bolts

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 4: and whether they were properly tightened. As the NTSP tries

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 4: to find answers to how that unused door panel blew

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 4: off at Alaska Airlines Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine

Speaker 5: Aware of the reports of that are coming back from

22
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 5: the inspections from United and Alaska and Boeing. Our team

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 5: is collecting that information and there will be some follow

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 5: up from the inspections.

25
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: It's unclear how many loose polts were found. The NTSB

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 4: may now broaden the probe into other Max nine jets

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: beyond the Alaska Airlines model on which the accident occurred.

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,240

30

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: over whether the former president is immuniform charges of trying

35
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: to overturn the twenty twenty election results. Bloomberg's Amy Morris

36
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: has more from Washington.

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 6: Oral arguments are set for today before a three judge

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 6: panel with the US Court of Appeals for the d

00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 6: C Circuit over whether Donald Trump is shielded from prosecution

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 6: for his actions before and during the January sixth riot

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 6: at the US Capitol. Now Trump said on social media

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 6: he planned to attend, but he is not expected to

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 6: address the court. The judges could hand down their ruling

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 6: at any time after the hearing, and a ruling in

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 6: favor of Trump could be a fatal blow to the

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: Justice Department's efforts to try him. While either side has

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 6: the right to appeal, neither the full DC Court nor

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 6: the U. S. Supreme Court are required to take the case,

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 6: so this Court's ruling could be the final word in Washington.

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 6: Amy Moore as Bloomberg.

51
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840

Speaker 2: that story from Bloomberg's Dan Schwartzman.

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 7: Politicians on both sides of the isle are demanding answers

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,480

00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,240

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,240

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 7: a day after that, Austin was hospitalized, but did not

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 7: tell the White House, Congress, or even the Deputy Defense

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 7: Secretary for several days. Republican Senator Susan Collins Remain says

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 7: it's quote inexplicable that the secretary's condition remains shrouded in secrecy,

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 7: while Massachusetts Democrat Seth Bulden says this astounding that the

64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 7: president in Austin's own deputy did know he was in

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,120

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,560

74

171
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 12: Karn the Michigan Wolverines national champions in college footwall in Houston.

172
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 12: They beat Washington thirty four to thirteen. It was a

173
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 12: quick start for Michigan. First two possessions were both Donovan

174
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 12: Edwards touchdown runs. They covered forty one and forty three yards.

175
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 12: Michigan didn't get into the end zone again until the

176
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 12: fourth quarter. Blake Corum scored, capping a seventy one yard drive,

177
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 12: and later Corum scored again, coming after Mike Stanrsill's eighty

178
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 12: one yard interception return. Washington star quarterback Michael Pennix junior

179
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 12: twenty seven of fifty one did have two interceptions. Michigan

180
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 12: goes fifteen to zero, wins the national title for the

181
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 12: first time since nineteen ninety seven, and the question now

182
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 12: is if Jim Harbar returns as coach. Our heads back

183
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 12: to the NFL. The Washington Commanders looking for a new

184
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 12: coach after they had the second worst record in the NFL.

185
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 12: They've got new ownership and Ron Rivera fired after four

186
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 12: years on the job. Carolina Panthers already knew they were

187
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 12: looking for a new coach now at GM as well

188
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 12: as the Panthers fired to the manager Scott Fitterer. Celtics

189
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 12: got forty points from Jalen Brown but lost at Indiana

190
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 12: one thirty three to one thirty one. The Pacers lost

191
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 12: their star player Tyrese Haliburton a hamstring injuries, headed for

192
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 12: an MP John Moran is headed for a season ending

193
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 12: shoulder surgery. Memphisis star guard was suspended for the first

194
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 12: twenty five games of the season and ends up only

195
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 12: playing nine games on the year. Wizard's thirtieth loss of

196
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 12: the year beaten by Oklahoma City one thirty six to

197
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 12: one twenty eight. The Bruins lost at Colorado four to

198
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 12: three in a shootout. John Stashedward Bloomberg Sports.

202
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager. Boeing is working to get

203
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: at seven thirty seven Max nine jets back in the

204
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: air after the FAA ordered them temporarily grounded following last

205
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: week's door panel blowout. But the investigation into the cash

206
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: cow for Boeing is finding more installation issues maybe than

207
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: just the ones on that Alaska airline's flight. For more,

208
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: we're joined now by Bloomberg News Global Aviation head Benedict Campbell.

209
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: Thanks for being here, Benedict. Get us caught up on

210
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: the investigation so far.

211
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 13: Good morning. So we heard from the NTSB again yesterday.

212
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 13: They're holding daily press briefings to give the latest update.

213
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 13: And what we heard yesterday is that indeed they are

214
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 13: still focused on this particular Alaska aircraft, but they've said

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 13: that they might well be looking more deeply at other

216
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 13: aircraft broadly, more broadly than just the seven three seven

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 13: Max nine. Right now, the focus remains very much on

218
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 13: that door panel on that plug as they call it,

219
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 13: that came flying out, and they're trying to determine what

220
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 13: exactly caused that component to come loose. One thing that

221
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 13: they did say was they are focused intensely on the

222
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 13: bolts that are sort of fixing that particular component. And

223
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 13: speaking of bolts, we have heard from United Air and

224
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 13: from Alaska that they've found some loose bolts on their aircraft.

225
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 13: So obviously that's sort of the area around which the

226
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 13: investigation is focused right now.

227
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,239
Speaker 2: How unusual is it to see these signs of improper

228
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: tightening on an aircraft like this? Is this part of

229
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: the reason why we're getting these suggestions that the investigation

230
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: could go beyond the Max nine.

231
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 13: Absolutely, and this is obviously something you don't want to

232
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 13: find on an aircraft, but sadly it's something that they

233
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 13: have found, not just in this case, but also in

234
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 13: previous sort of investigations where they looked at improper manufacturing.

235
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 13: We had a misaligned drilling holes on some seven three

236
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 13: sevens last year. Then we had some loose bolts in

237
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 13: another part of a plane. So these defects appear to

238
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 13: come up again and again, and you have to remember

239
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 13: the max the seven three seven Max has a very

240
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 13: sort of fragile reputation after these two crashes that happened

241
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 13: almost five years ago. A lot of people still somewhat

242
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 13: squeamish about that aircraft and an abbus not abbus. Boeing

243
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 13: have managed to repair that reputation, but somewhat fragilely. And

244
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 13: the question now is will that pull them back into

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 13: a hole? How can they emerge from that? Those are

246
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 13: a lot of things they're trying to work through right now.

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it raises the question about whether Boeing could be

248
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: running into a crisis of confidence with flyers. Is that

249
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: the concern for Boeing, That is.

250
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 13: Very much the concern. I mean, we've seen the crisis

251
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 13: of confidence on the side of the investors. If you

252
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 13: look at what happened with the stock yesterday took a

253
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 13: deep tumble. Spirit Aerosystems, that's the company that makes the

254
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 13: fuselage for the seven three seven is by an is

255
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 13: by far Boeing's most important supplier. They also dropped quite

256
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 13: sharply yesterday. So there is a real crisis in confidence

257
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 13: for the time being. It's the focus is very much

258
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 13: sort of on the investor side, on the financial side.

259
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 13: But if this spreads into a bigger crisis, say the flyers,

260
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 13: the flying public, and then the customers. Ultimately, that will

261
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 13: obviously be something very hard for Boeing to get back from.

262
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 13: This had been the year, or supposed to be the

263
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 13: year of the great comeback of Boeing. They they've had

264
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 13: a couple of difficult years, as I said, but they'd

265
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 13: managed to get their manufacturing back in order. The orders

266
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 13: and deliveries are back, They'd planned to really increase the

267
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 13: output rate of the seven three seven. All of these

268
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 13: things were sort of what lay ahead for them for

269
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 13: this year. And right now it looks as if things

270
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 13: will certainly slow down for them quite a bit. The FAA,

271
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 13: which is the regulator in the US, they're saying, not

272
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 13: so fast. We want to make sure this plane is

273
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 13: ready to fly again before we can unground it, and

274
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 13: Boeing has to sort of comply with that.

275
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Is this something that could put the relationship between Boeing

276
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: and Spirit Aerosystems in jeopardy? I mean, where could the

277
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: blame potentially lie for this? Got about a minute left.

278
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 13: It's a difficult relationship that these two companies have. Spirit

279
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 13: used to be part of Boeing. Then it will spun out,

280
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 13: but they're still very much sort of entwined and they're

281
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 13: locked in a slightly unhappy marriage here. They obviously Boeing

282
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 13: needs to have very close quality controls at Spirit to

283
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 13: make sure that the products that chipped over to Boeing

284
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 13: meet their standards, and that's something that hasn't always been

285
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 13: the case in the past. So Boeing really needs to

286
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 13: tighten the screws, as it were, on Spirit and make

287
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 13: sure that they have the right people there, they have

288
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 13: the right controls. There's new management at that company. Ultimately

289
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 13: the buck stops with Boeing. They need to have the

290
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 13: final sign off on the plane. So sure, you can

291
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 13: blame Spirit and point your finger as much as you

292
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 13: want at them, but the plane is ultimately sold by Boeing,

293
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 13: so they need to make sure that their network is

294
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 13: up to snuff.
