D.E.I. Disaster

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, this is from six TOZH three. You can text
the cooner man seven zero four seven zero seven zero
four seven zero Jeff. One question that comes to mind
is was this female pilot taking SSRIs antidepressants. The reason
I ask this is because SSR rise affect the prefrontal

(00:24):
cortex of the brain, and this is where the decision
making process takes place. In other words, did she suffer
from depression? Well, that's a great point six to so three. Again,
we don't know because they've done everything now to not
just clean or social media, but to scrub her background,

(00:46):
any discussion of her background, you know. So look, you know,
as someone put it, I think it was Kyle on messenger, Jeff,
I'm really starting to lose faith and confidence in my government.
So am I like, just level with us, man, But
instead of leveling, they just cover up and cover up

(01:07):
and cover up and cover up, and like, I'm sorry,
it's sickening. Sixty seven people are dead. Their families deserve answers,
and I think they deserve to know the truth. And
if it was the EI, and I believe it clearly was,
and if it was pilot error, as it looks increasingly

(01:30):
like it was, then why did you rush her along?
Why did you insist that you have to be on
that black Hawk flying at that time at night with
the Knight of goggles on in such a highly traffic
congested airport. Hello, you're playing Russian roulette with people's lives

(01:53):
and it cost us sixty seven and you know who
you're trying to protect. Like, I'm tired of this. Everybody
is covering up for other people's crimes. I mean, agree, disagree.
You may disagree with me. I'm just giving you my
honest answer. Sixty one seven, two six six, sixty eight,

(02:14):
sixty eight is the number okay the Kooner Country Poll
Question of the day sponsored by Marios Marios Quality Roofing,
Siding and Windows. Who ultimately do you think is responsible

(02:35):
for that tragic mid air collision near Reagan Airport between
a Blackhawk helicopter and a passenger airline that resulted in
sixty seven people dying? Was it a Rebecca Lobatch the
pilot herself, who was told repeatedly move left, move left,

(02:56):
move left, or turn to the left. Turn to the left,
and for whatever reason she froze, she didn't and hence
the Blackhawk collided right into the plane, or b the
officials above her who promoted these woke DEI policies and

(03:20):
wanted her to be in that Blackhawk training at that airport,
even though most new she was clearly incompetent to do so,
not ready to do so. In other words, who do
you ultimately blame the pilot herself or the co pilot
herself to be more accurate, or the people who artificially

(03:46):
promoted her. I want to hear from you. You can
vote on our web page WRKO dot com slash Coooner
wrko dot com slash cooner kuh and is in national Er.
You can also vote via x my handle there at
the Kooner Report kuh Nas in national Er. Okay, we've

(04:12):
got sixty seven people dead. We've got a pilot who's
made a tragic error, Sandy off Air mentioned to me,
and I think she may be right. People maybe now
are trying to look at the instructor, the copilot Sandy's theory,
and I think she may be right. I think he
was an utter disbelief. In other words, well, why do

(04:33):
you just take over the stick? Why don't he just
take over control? I think it's because, Okay, Air traffic
control says turn left.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
No.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
No air traffic control says turn left. No air traffic control.
Hey is saying turn left, and he just is stunned.
He's just an utter disbelief that she's not turning left.
Hi yayi, hi ya yai six two six six sixty

(05:06):
eight sixty eight. Okay, A couple more calls and I
want to change topic. Let's go to Dave in Ohio.
Thanks for holding Dave, and welcome.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
And Jeff. A lot of the previous call is actually
touched on some of the subjects I was gonna mention,
but I would like to see the pros and con
sheets on both those pilots, meaning proficiency and conduct, especially
on her, what her proficiency was, what her conduct was like,
how is she rated, how is she promoted.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Up the chain?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Second vault. When you fly at night, I was in
the marine colos aviation, so I know at night you
can get fixed on a light, You can get fixed
on an object and lose total depth perception of how
far something actually is away from you. Think about it
like driving at night and you see your full moon
when you're heading south, the thing looks huge, and then

(06:01):
when the road curves, it goes to the right, it
looks smaller than it actually was. Your eyes can play
tricks on you. Your depth perception can be off. But those
are things that need to be looked at from a
training standpoint. But I am very, very interested in the
proficiency and conduct sheets on vocals officers. The crew chief

(06:22):
in the back, he's just powerless to do anything. So
the two people controlling that aircraft are ultimately responsible, whether
it be the warrant officer who did nothing to override
the captain who was the student. That's what I want
to know.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well, you know, Dave, let me ask you this. Do
you think we'll ever get to the bottom of this?
Do you think we'll ever ever ever know the truth
about what really happened?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
No, we'll never know, because you only two people that
actually know are dead. We'll never know. You can can
you can conjection, you get their eyes, you can look
at data recorders, you can look at the evidence of
prior to the accident with the air traffic control telling

(07:19):
them to turn and left. You collect at all of that,
But ultimately we'll never know why in action.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Have I think you're dead on I think we'll ultimately
never know six one seven two six, six, sixty eight,
sixty eight is the number. Okay, my friends, I'm going
to continue to take your calls. Uh, well, there's not
I mean, the table is always open for anybody to
continue to talk about this story. But as you know,

(07:49):
one hundred days President Trump has been in office. Now
I'm going to really do a big show on this tomorrow,
I promise.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
But one of the.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Defining features of his first one hundred days, and maybe
the most economically controversial, has been his tariff policies. As
you know, I've always been a supporter of tariffs. I
am a protectionist, I am an economic patriot. I have

(08:21):
never been a free trader. I think free trade has
been a disaster for the United States. I think NAFTA,
all of these trade deals we've had with Vietnam, with
South Korea, with Central America, obviously Mexico and Canada under
NAFTA and now the USMCA has been an absolute economic disaster.

(08:43):
We have outsourced trillions of dollars of our wealth, especially
to communist China, sixty thousand factories, seven million manufacturing jobs.
We have de industrialized the United States and much of
our supply chain, including our medicine, Our basic medicines, but

(09:04):
even basic technology that we need for our own military
security has been outsourced to other countries, including yes, Beijing.
It has been both national and economic suicide. And so
these tariffs, in my view, are needed, necessary, and I

(09:26):
support them, not one hundred but a thousand percent. Now again,
we can agree to disagree. Grace certainly does. But this
is my position, has been for thirty years, and I
see no evidence to contradict or refute it. Now why
am I talking tariffs because President Trump, now on Sunday,

(09:46):
is now offering what he's calling a new deal, a
grand bargain with American middle working class people. It started
in January when he set up not the Internal Revenue Service,

(10:07):
but what he's calling the External Revenue Service, the ERS,
in which he says we're gonna be collecting so much
money from tariffs and duties and people now having to
pay to have access to our market that he believes

(10:28):
we're going to generate over the next decade or so,
and so does Treasury Secretary's cod Besant. Maybe a trillion,
maybe even two trillion dollars, in other words, trillions of dollars.
Now you're gonna say, Jeff jehef Jeff okay, trillions more
and duties and tariffs. What's the big grand bargain? I mean,

(10:51):
our price is gonna be a little higher. If I
want to buy something, say from China, as Trump would
pronounce it, it's going to be more expensive. If I
want to buy something from Canada, it's going to be
at least twenty five percent more expensive. Mexico it's gonna
be what is it, twenty twenty five thirty percent more expensive.
So I'm gonna be paying more for many consumer goods,

(11:15):
more for bananas, more for tennis shoes, more for laptops,
more for everything. So where's the grand bargain? Jeff? On Sunday,
Trump now introduced this initiative, and I really want to
get your take on this six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight. Trump now says he wants

(11:39):
Republicans in Congress as they put together his one Big
Beautiful Bill, to either substantially reduce income taxes for those
making two hundred thousand dollars a year or less, or

(11:59):
even a limit innate all income taxes, all of it,
federal income taxes, not state, not the stay only in Massachusetts,
we've got a sales tax, not the state taxes, not
the local taxes. That's he can't do that, but federal
income tax either substantially cut it or out and out

(12:22):
abolish or eliminate it for those making less than two
hundred thousand dollars a year. And so the grand bargain
that Trump is now offering Americans, especially middle working class
Americans Middle America, are you willing to substitute income taxes

(12:50):
for tariffs? You pay more on some goods, in fact
many goods until we start creating more by American and more.
More plants are coming and more factories are coming back,
and more manufacturing is coming back. So either you're gonna
pay a little bit more, but you're gonna have a

(13:12):
lot more disposable income. And Trump believes that in the
end this will really help not the wealthy guys. They're
not going to get their income taxes slashed, but it's
really gonna help middle America, blue collar people, people struggling

(13:33):
to make ends meet. That you're gonna have more money
in your pocket, and you're gonna have the federal government
when it comes to taxation anyway, substantially off your back.
Now let me tell you where I stand, and then
I want to hear from you. And by the way,
it's no surprise Grace and I disagree on this. We
talked about it last night, and no, she'd rather have

(13:54):
cheaper goods and not have tariffs or just tariff industries.
But keep doing. I mean, yeah, she wants to cut taxes,
but she prefers income taxes to tariffs. I'm the exact
opposite number one. In principle, I am against income taxes.

(14:16):
I pay my taxes, of course I obey the law.
But in principle I am against an income tax. And
I'll tell you why. I don't think it is the
government's right or the government's business to take away the
fruits and hard work of your labor. You work hard,

(14:37):
the sweat of your brow is what enables you to
bring home money income to feed your family, pay and
pay for the roof over your head, and all of
your bills and expenses. The government has no right to
claim essentially ownership over your labor, because by claiming ownership

(15:00):
over your labor, in some ways, they're claiming ownership over
you over me. I never would have passed the amendment
to start an income tax in this country personally, So
in principle, I don't like an income tax. I don't
think you should tax people's income. It's their money, they

(15:20):
worked for it, they earned it. Let them spend it,
how they seech, how they see fit, and how they choose. Furthermore,
I'm a saver generally. I like to save. Now, I'd
rather keep a lot more of my money and buy less.

(15:42):
That's me. That's me. I you know, if I don't
want to buy a lot of items, then guess what,
I'm gonna have a lot more money in my pocket
and I'm gonna have a lot more money in my
bank account. So prices will go up of course with tariffs,

(16:04):
but believe me, I'm not going to be spending that
much to begin with. So I'm going to be way ahead.
It's going to encourage savings, it's going to encourage investment,
it's going to encourage people to be much more responsible
with their money. And I think in the end, it's
much fairer. On a fundamental level, it is much fairer.

(16:29):
You work, you keep what you make, and then you
decide if you want to buy something and pay an
extra tax on that. That's up to you, But why
should the government And in this case, if you add
federal state sales tax property taxes, I'm paying way over

(16:50):
fifty percent in taxes. Now, this is not federal again,
this is local. It broke my heart when Grace told
me last night how much I had to write a
check or actually she wrote the check, but we had
to write a check to rent them for property taxes.
I mean, it was I'm still recovering. It was like

(17:11):
a hammer to the head. It was over ten thousand dollars.
I can't get ahead. I can't get ahead. This is
a confiscatory government. I'm basically now, if I'm being taxed
fifty and over percent of my income, I'm essentially working
six months, if not seven months of the year for

(17:36):
the government. How am I free? I mean, I'm just
being brutally honest with all of you. So A, I
want to protect American manufacturing. I want to protect the
middle class. I want to create American companies, American plants,
American factories, American jobs, good paying jobs like we used

(17:58):
to have for hundreds of years, and like for most
of our history we had tariffs and no income pacts. Okay,
very quick as the lines are full, so I want
to go right to the phone lines. Here is exactly
what Trump said on truth Social Sunday morning, saying, look,
I'm putting a lot of pressure on Republicans in Congress.

(18:20):
This is my vision for the country, and I'm doing
it for to help the great American middle and working class.
Here's what he wrote. Quote, when tariffs cut in, many
people's income taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated.

(18:44):
Focus will be on people making less than two hundred
thousand dollars a year. Now. He also then mentions also
massive numbers of jobs are already being created with new
plants in factor he's currently being built or planned. It
will be a bonanza for America. The external revenue service

(19:08):
is happening now, just very quick. Trump now has brought
in over five trillion, If you want the number, it's
five point two five point two trillion dollars in new
manufacturing and foreign investment in the United States. Five point

(19:30):
two trillion. We're looking at least ten to twelve million jobs,
good paying American jobs. These plants and factories are being
built as I speak to you. That's why Trump keeps
saying relax the economy is going to boom, and so
what he's now doing is he's putting the pieces in

(19:52):
place for an American manufacturing renaissance, and he wants to
focus not so much on the top earners. They'll do
okay obviously under Trump. But what he really wants to
do is either reduce or absolutely eliminate all federal income

(20:14):
taxes for people making less than two hundred thousand dollars
a year. So, for example, I'd have thirty percent more
in my pocket. That's a lot, I'm telling you. For me,
that's a lot. That's a lot. Now, will I pay
more for some products, especially as it takes time for
American companies and American manufacturing and American products to get

(20:37):
built here. Yes, I'm more than happy that trade off.
I win. I'm telling you I win. Now. If I'm
a big spender. And fine, I mean some people are.
It's a free country. Maybe I don't know, maybe it
doesn't work out for you, but you know I don't.
I don't really. I don't buy that much now, Grace

(21:00):
a little bit more. My kids, My god, they're not
just eating the out of house and home. They're buying
the out of house and home. But for me in principle,
and I've always said this, if the government can claim
your labor, which is what your income is, they're basically
saying they can claim you. They have a claim over

(21:20):
your body. And I've never liked the income tax in
principle ever, so I like other ways to raise revenue.
And I think tariffs, you know, tariffs built America the
entire nineteenth century. The Great American Tariff made us an
economic industrial powerhouse, no taxes, It was all through the tariff.

(21:46):
Citizens were freer, citizens were wealthier, citizens were more prosperous.
We developed the greatest middle class in the history of
the world. Why can't we do it again? So am
I willing to substitute the tariffs for the income tax?

Speaker 4 (22:06):
For me?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I take that deal. But that's me. I want to
hear from you question before the House. Would you rather
pay much less or even no income tax, but pay
more for many goods because of the tariff? Or would
you like to pay less cheaper, you know, cheaper consumer goods,
much cheaper, but you're basically paying, you know, a good

(22:31):
chunk of your income in an income tax. What do
you think is better for the country? How would you
where do you fall? Deal or no deal? You like
don't like? Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight is the number. John in Lowell, Thanks for

(22:53):
holding John, and welcome.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Good morning, Jeff, Hi John, Jeff. As fire as as
fire as a tax question goes, I'm out because that
was a sense of the cancer. I'm well below the
poverty line, my friend. I don't have to file anymore.
Jeff has a scary thought, and I'm not saying it
has anything to do with this case, because her social
media was scrubbed. Jeff, you do know that they can

(23:17):
override cars, right?

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh, so you think maybe somebody overrode the helicopter the
black Hawk.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Jeff. I think we're hacked by China or not, not
in this case, but it can be done. Anything with
a computer can be overridden. Jeff. That's a scary thought.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well you know, John, Oh, please go ahead. I don't
mean to cut you off. Please go ahead, John.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Who do they have embedded in these Taiwanese factories that
make the microchips? See, China might not be making them,
but that doesn't mean they can't infiltrate companies that I'm
making them. Yet.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Well, that's a very good point. I mean it's a
scary thought, but it's a very good point.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
No.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Look, John, I think there's no question Chinese espionage is everywhere.
I mean, that's just I mean, people know that. It's
been widely reported, tons of books have been written on
it by very reputable people. They are penetrating our government, Congress,
and I'm talking to highest echalons, our businesses, corporations, our

(24:30):
tech sector, and so really you're right, the more technologically
complex we become, the more vulnerable we are to exactly
what you're talking about, you know, hacking and taking over
planes and cars and helicopters. And there's no question. And
look the other thing. I don't want to get too distracted,

(24:50):
but John, I just since you mentioned it AI artificial intelligence,
a lot of renowned scientists are coming out out and
saying AI could literally take over humanity, that we are
playing with fire, We're playing with something we have no
idea how to control. And already now you are seeing

(25:12):
billboards everywhere in the United States, in China, in Europe
where they're saying don't hire literally, don't hire humans. Go
with AI. That's the selling point. Don't hire humans ai

(25:33):
ya yai. So if we don't hire human beings, what
we're just an excess surplus population. Like, what are you
going to do with us?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Just put us all on welfare? What kill us all?
I mean, I'm not trying to be you know, Provoca.
I'm just saying, don't hire humans. A ya yai, a
ya yai. It's anti human, it's anti life, it's anti God.

(26:04):
And so this has got to stop. This has really
got to stop. John, final word to.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
You on our words to me, Jeff, I'm going to
stick with the creator of all intelligence. And I'm okay,
how about you.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I'm with you. I'm with you, God Almighty have you.
You're right. No, that's true. In the end, that's all
that matters. John, as always, thank you very much for
that call. Six one seven two six, six sixty eight,
sixty eight is the number. And again you have some
of that. And I don't want to get too off

(26:40):
topic because I really want to stick on taxes, income
tacts versus the tariff, because it's the tariff has been
such a key part of Trump's first hundred days. But
when you've got i mean literally leading minds in the world,
top scientists in their fields. They're not anti technology, they're

(27:04):
not anti science, obviously, they're not anti quote unquote progress.
When they're coming out warning after warning after warning saying
AI could devour us, it could be unleashing something we
may never be able to control. And the media doesn't
want to hear about it. And then if you just

(27:26):
mention it, like Tucker Carlson, for example, then you're branded
as a kuk. You know, like when you challenge the job,
you're branded as a kuk. When you challenge the Russia
collusion hoax, Oh that's a kouk. When you challenge the lockdowns,
Oh that's a kuk, the COVID lockdowns. So they're doing
it again because they're in the money, in the pocket

(27:47):
of big tech. Big tech wants AI. They can see
unlimited amounts of cash and control and that's why all
man they want it, God do they want it. So
they don't want anybody questioning it. They don't want anybody saying,
are we sure about this? Is this the road we

(28:08):
want to go on? And with no ethical, legal, moral
guardrails put in place, doesn't matter, You can't even ask
the question, to ask the question, is we you fringe?
It's a crazy French right winger Fast Hitler. That's all

(28:30):
they know how to do. Smears and lies. Smears and
lies anyway. I like tariffs. I've always liked tariffs. I've
always been a tariff man, that's me. I've never liked
income taxes. Of all the taxes, I think it's the worst.
I prefer a sales tax, believe it or not, to
an income tax. I prefer a flat tax, even to

(28:53):
an income tax. You name the tax. I prefer any
tax over the income tax. I don't like taxes in general,
but to me, it's the worst possible tax. And would
I take this deal? Higher tariffs and lower or no
income taxes. Now, you can't go all the way because

(29:14):
you can't generate enough money just from the tariffs. So
that's why it's capped at two hundred thousand. But two
hundred thousand that's a lot of middle working class people.
And I don't know about you, but if Trump could
cut all my federal income taxes or a good chunk
of it, my standard of living has just gone up.

(29:35):
I mean, it would be one of the greatest redistributions
of wealth to the middle of the country in the
last sixty seventy years. If you wanted a few times
that literally, middle working class people would see a massive
increase in their take home pay, in their wages, and

(29:59):
in their spending power. Agree, disagree six one seven two
six six sixty eight sixty eight. Russ in Boston, thanks
for holding Ross and welcome.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Good morning Kona Country. Where the Nouses accurately reported every
single day, every hour of the day of the show.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
It is accurately reported.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is another example
of the lefstream media creating a false narrative to manipulate
the thought process of the gullible. The survival of the
Democratic Party depends on the left stream media without question.
Thanks to President Trump, the cat is out of the bag.

(30:44):
We have seen the glory of the coming of Donald Trump.
This is opportunity time for the United States. We have
a master negotiating running our country to this come across.
Get the hell out of the way USLBS. I've had
an off of you, Russ.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Where do you stand on Trump? He says he wants
to cut taxes for working middle class people income taxes,
may even get rid of it and basically substitute the
revenue with tariffs. A tariff wall or tariff regime. Do
you like the idea?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Do you not?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
In other words, are you willing to pay more but
have more money in your pocket?

Speaker 4 (31:31):
So the one thing that I do know, the balance of
trade is so and balanced. The war needs us. We're
the world's best customer. Okay, that's why we can win
a trade war. Just apply common sense. So I am
fully in favor of the trade war. Where's tariffs? Okay?

(31:53):
And eventually all these countries need to come around. And
the other thing is an anti commune you Solbs. You
love the rotten politicians in the corporate media, Solbs, that
gave all this trade to China. And the reason why
China is as strong as it is right now is

(32:15):
the trading that we've done with them over the last
thirty of forty years. Outrageous, Jeff, is both of us
are anti communists. Really were betrayed by our government and
we were betrayed by corporate America. It's time to turn
the ship around.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
Oh amen. I couldn't have said it better myself, Russ,
Thank you very much for that call. Look, I don't
want to get too sidetracked. But another thing I love
about tariffs is that they restore sovereignty. Remember, if you're
locked into free trade, you've lost your sovereignty. Basically, now

(32:52):
you're if other countries start dumping their goods as China
has been doing, there's nothing you can do about it
because they just keep cheating and lying, and so basically
you're not able to defend the economic, national security interests,
rankly the interests of your people. So tariffs restore sovereignty.

(33:12):
That's another reason why globalists hate tariffs. So no, we
decide what's in the best interests of the United States
and which industries that we feel our best for our
country that we want made here at home. For example, steel, Oh,
we've got to pay a little more. We'll pay a
little more, but we're going to make sure that if

(33:36):
we need to build tanks or missiles or fighter jets,
that we have the domestic supply to do that and
not be completely dependent upon say Ooh, I don't know
China or nothing against Japan. I love the Japanese, but
japan or microchips that are critical for our technology, for

(33:57):
our consumer goods, for our electronics, for our military, no,
make them here. Why because someone could choke him off
and then what we could. Then what do we do?
So again, you know insulin? Why can't we make insulin
in the United States. I'm a diabetic. I take insulin

(34:17):
I fifty units a day. You know it's two one
hundred units a day. What am I saying? I wish
fifty in the morning, fifty at night. Now, if things
get ugly with China and they cut off the insulin supply,
Jeff Cooner's up a creek without a paddle. Now I
know what many are gonna say, Jeff, come on, take
care of your health. You shouldn't be on insulin. I

(34:39):
hear you. But my family has a history of diabetes.
It's genetic. And you know my father was on in
My father was a thin man. My father was on
insulin when he was like fifty fifty two. My grandmother
had they called it sugar in the old country. But
my grandmother had diabetes. My grandfather, my father set of diabetes.

(35:01):
The Cooners have all had diabetes. So we're pre genetically predisposed.
Now I could be better with my diet, I could
be better with my weight. Yes, there are many things
I could do, but I'm just saying, how many tens
and tens of millions of Americans need diabetic and they
need insulin. Well, it's a bit cheaper in China. I

(35:25):
don't care if it's a bit cheaper in China. I'm
not trying to be cavalier. Okay, you pay a little more,
but you know you're gonna have it. Do you want China?
And by the way, I don't trust the quality in China.
That's another issue, Like, yeah, we've been getting cheap consumer goods,
but a lot of it is junk. Really, seriously, it's junk.

(35:49):
I want good quality, American made products. I'm not asking
for the moon. And we've done it for most of
our history and we're starting to do it again. And
if you're looking at frustration over Trump and I will
get into this tomorrow, I promise some of these batch
of polls. There's a big Fox News poll about the economy,

(36:13):
and apparently he's underwater when it comes to the economy.
By the way, I don't believe the polls, just so
that you know I don't. I think they're fake poles. Okay,
number one. But if there is a frustration, it's the
transition period with these tariffs. But you know, Trump told
us he goes give me a couple of months. It

(36:33):
took us thirty years to make you know, to create
this mess. Give me three four months. I got to
negotiate deals. We're going to do it on a country
by country basis. We're going to stabilize everything, and then
the economy is going to absolutely boom. So no, I'm
a tariff man, and if it could actually I'm a

(36:56):
tariff man. Whether it leads to a cent in my
income taxes being cut, but if I can get my
income taxes cut, m I love you in a non
sexual way, President Trump. I'll take that trade off any day.
But that's me six one seven two six six sixty

(37:20):

and welcome.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
Hi.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Good morning, Jeff, Thank you so much for taking my call.
I just wanted to make a quick point about another
media cover up. I'm sure you remember when JFK. Junior's
plane went down. I believe he had two females with
him and they were heading up north. I think they
left New Jersey Teterborough. I'm not sure about the airport,
but they were heading up north. I think for a wedding.

(37:50):
It happened overnight. I had NBC News on the next morning.
I was up early, and they were interviewing an aviation expert,
and he made the point that he did not have
enough flight hours, nearly enough flight hours to be up
on that plane. And at night time, you get disoriented,
you lose the horizon, and he should never have been

(38:10):
up there. And you never heard boo about that anywhere.
They just went on with the accident, and of course
it was tragic, but you never heard the fact that
he did not have enough flight hours and he was
not qualified to be up there enough plane.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Oh, you're completely right. Oh look, Stephanie, I remember that
when it was a while ago. But yeah, to me,
I think he gambled with the lives of the people
on that plane and he had no business and apparently
didn't he have like a broken leg or I don't know,
some kind of an ankle injury, or I think he
was in a cast, correct me if I'm wrong. On

(38:49):
top of all of that, I know he had some
kind of an injury that I know. I remember that
for sure. So on top of all of that, No,
you don't gamble with other people's lives. Look, you want
to get on a plane. I don't think you should.
But if you want to get on a plane and
you don't have enough flying hours by yourself, and you
knew there was gonna be bad conditions, he knew it.

(39:11):
That's why he said, come on, we gotta hurry, We
gotta hurry, we gotta go. Come on, come on, there's
a storm coming.
