It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Them.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is on the air. Look, Mike, we're
not going in there like that. Like what hey. Look,
all our lives we've been bad boys all right, now
it's time to be good men.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Who in the hell want to sing that song?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Good man? Good man? What you're gonna do?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well, play me if you're singing a song like you
mean it, get a catch home.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up
the next day as the Museum of the Deep State.
And you send those seven thousand agents in the headquarters
building down range to chase down rapists, to chase down murderers,
to chase down drug traffickers, and let the cops be
cops on the streets across America. You keep a small
contingent in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Boys, what's he going to do?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
When they come?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Bad voice, bad boys?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You get rid of half of the legion of lawyers
and special counsels that exist within the FBI to do
one thing, to corrupt and obstruct government oversight from constitutionally
applicable committees in Congress.
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Bad what's he gonna do? What's he going to do
when they come boys?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Bad boys? Bad voice?
Speaker 8 (01:23):
What's going to do when they come employ And.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Another aspect of it, real quick is one of the
biggest institutions in the FBI that has been troubled and
politicizing weaponized has been their intel component. We have an
intel agency. I don't need it to be redone within
the walls of the FBI. We've shown when we've given
them that power what they do to it. They unluckily
surveil a president as candidate.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Bad boys, what's going to do? What you do when
they compose?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Bad voice?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Bad point?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What's he gonna do.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
When they come for you?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Bad voice?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Bad point?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
What's going to do when they come for you?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Know, for many years, I was saying, now one of
the seventy two vaccines mandated for children has ever been
safety tested in free licensing polas, see the controlled trials.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
And I wants bad boys people, what's it going to do?
What's it going to do when they come for you?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Bad boys? Bad boys?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Wants what's he going to do when.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
They come for you? Bad boys? Bad boys?
Speaker 8 (02:23):
What's he go a Wat's he going to do when
they come for bad boys, bad boys, what's he?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
What's he going?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And in many cases NIH is hearing the Royals. We
got all of these new vaccine in seventy two shots
sixteen vaccines and now even more because we're doing the
HPV vaccine. And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw
an explosion in chronic disease and American children the neurological
disease is suddenly exploded in nineteen eighty nine, eighty D
(02:55):
eighty HD, sleep disorders, languish un delays, ASD, autism, to
red syndrome, ticks, narcilepsy. These are all things that I
never heard of. Autism went from one in ten thousand
of my generation, according to the CDC data, one in
every thirty four kids today.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Bad boice, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
What a terrible crash last night over the Potomac in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 9 (03:32):
An American Airlines flight colliding with a black Hawk helicopter.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Presumed sixty dead.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
They are have been through the night, were in relatively
short order fishing some of.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Those bodies out of the water. I do not believe
they have recovered all of them. Obviously.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
My understanding is that you could only survive in that
water under the best of conditions at that temperature for
about thirty minutes if you hadn't just fallen.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Out of an airplane.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
But they continued the search and rescue operations through the
night and are actually continuing at this point, although I
suspect unfortunately that is more search than rescue, but of
course we hope for the best. President Trump is scheduled
to speak, was scheduled to speak begetting ten minutes ago.
What typically happens, because I'm often asked what typically happens
(04:32):
in a situation like this as to why it doesn't
start on time, is that they're waiting on some information
that he would like to reveal, because typically he does
not get real time information as he's speaking.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Now.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
I don't need everything to be Donald Trump Visa VI
Donald Joe Biden, but I will tell you it's very
comforting to see it a moment like this where the
American people would like to hear from our president. It's
very comforting that he says, yep, with whatever information we
have available, I will get up and state that to
(05:10):
the public, whether that's drones flying over the country or
what really happened in the jfk assassination or why our
military did what they did, and whether, well you're going
to hear it all, and I suspect he will answer
to the best of his ability with things that may
not have already been known, and the American people deserves
(05:33):
to know. So we're going to be kind of in
a holding pattern pun intended here for just a moment
until he does go to speak. I don't know if
our station will go long for him or whether there
will continue with the commercial break, but it won't matter
because we're going to give you. You're not going to
miss any of the press conference as it happens. You'll
(05:56):
get it all here and it'll be available all day
long if if you're not able to hear all of it.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So as soon as he comes to speak, we will
turn to that.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
There is a lot of speculation, and I'm not going
to conjecture as to what he's going to say. But
from everything I'm seeing and the sources that I trust,
this does not appear from what I'm told to be
a terror attack. It does appear to have been an error.
(06:33):
Doesn't make the grief any easier to bear for the
loss of life. It doesn't make it any less concerning
because there's a lot of money spent on technology and
training and staffing to ensure that these sorts of things
do not happen. One of the things I've been reading
(06:53):
about this morning is something called a flarm, which is
a flight alarm, which in this case was I'm told
not available and might have avoided this. And the simple
answer is, well, why wouldn't you have it if it's available? Well,
what is that worth? If you're in economics, is the
(07:16):
allocation of scarce resources. If it costs five million dollars
per bird to put it on, do you do it?
And people will say yes if it saves one life,
which means you've never had to make decisions with scarce
resources for the good of the whole. Because it's not
worth saving one life at a cost of five million
dollars when there are other things that could be done
(07:39):
that might cost five hundred thousand dollars and would save
ten lives.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I don't know. I don't know about that.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I do know this, you don't have the money for
a flarm that I'm told could have prevented this when
you send all your money to the Ukraine. I do
know that I know that for everything you tell me
we don't have the money for, we do have the
mo I need to send billions of dollars to Ukraine
and any number of other countries. The President just this
(08:06):
week freezing funding to Burma that was going toward minority scholarships.
The minority party in Hungary is screaming and hollering that
there was a freeze of money sent to Hungary that
was being used for the minority press there. What in
the hell are we paying for? The President should be
speaking by the time we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You are listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
We didn't learn our lesson President Trump's press conferences. They
typically don't start on time. President was scheduled to speak
at ten am Central. We are now twenty past and
he has not spoken yet.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
There is an art.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
To conducting a show when you're waiting on a press conference,
because as you want to catch the beginning of what
he's saying, so you don't want to go too deep
into a discussion. That would prevent that, and you can
end up in the mix, being thirty minutes into a show.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Without being able to do anything other than.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
We're not going to do that, so I will start
the show, and whenever the President begins to speak, will
immediately stop.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Fair done.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
The man who said on the Senate floor that Donald
Trump was a Russian asset.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh, and just like that, here comes our president. Here
we go. Here a few seconds behind he started speaking,
had here he goes. You'll catch it. The President of
the United States, Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I'd like to request a moment of silence for the
victims and their families.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Please, thank you very much. I speak to you this
(10:29):
morning in an hour of anguish for a nation.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Just before nine pm last night in American Airlines, regional
jet carrying sixty passengers and four crew collided with an
Army black Hawk helicopter carrying three military service members over
the Potomac River in Washington, DC while on final approach.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
To Rega national airport.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Both aircraft crashed instantly and were immediately submerged into the
icy waters of the Potomac.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Real tragedy.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
The massive search and rescue mission was underway throughout the night,
leveraging every asset at our disposal. And I have to
say the local, state, federal military, including the United States
Coast Guard in particular, they've done a phenomenal job. So quick,
so fast, it was mobilized immediately. The work has now
(11:21):
shifted to a recovery mission. Sadly, there are no survivors.
This was a dark and excruciating night in our nation's
capital and in our nation's history, and a tragedy of
terrible proportions. As one nation, we grieve for every precious
soul that has been taken from us so suddenly, and
(11:45):
we are a country of really we are in mourning.
This is really shaking a lot of people, including people
very sadly.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
From other nations who were on the flood.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
For the family members back in Wichita, Kansas, Here in
Washington and throughout the United States, and in Russia. We
have a Russia contingents, very talented people. Unfortunately we're on
that plane, very very very sorry about that. Whose loved
ones were board the passenger jet. We can only begin
to imagine the agony that you're all feeling. Nothing worse
(12:20):
on behalf of the first Lady, myself and three hundred
and forty million Americans. Our hearts are shattered alongside yours,
and our prayers are with you now and in the
days to come.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We'll be working very very diligently in the days to come.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
We're here for you to wipe away the tears and
to offer you our devotion, our love, and our support.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There's great support. In moments like this.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
The differences between Americans fade to nothing compared to the
bonds of affection and loyalty that unite us all, both
as Americans and even as nations.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We are one family, and today we are all heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
We're all searching for answers that icy Potomac is it cold,
cold night, cold water.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We're all overcome with de grief for many.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Who have so tragically perished will no longer be with
us together. We take solace in the knowledge at their
journey ended not in the cold waters of the Potomac,
but in the warm embrace of a loving God.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
We did not know what led to this crash, but
we have some very strong opinions and.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Ideas, and I think we'll probably state those opinions now
because over the years I've watched as things like this
happen and they say, well, we're always investigating, and then
the investigation three years later they announced it. We think
we have some pretty good ideas, but we'll find out
how this disaster occurred and will ensure that nothing like
this ever happens again. The FAA and the NTSB and
(13:47):
the US military will be carrying out a systematic and
comprehensive investigation. Our new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, his
second day.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
On the job.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
When that happens, we said, a rough one. We'll be
working tirelessly. He's a great gentleman. The whole group is,
these are great people, and they are working tirelessly.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
To figure out exactly what happened.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
We will state certain opinions, however, I'm also immediately appointing
an acting Commissioner to the FAA, Christopher Rochelieu, a twenty
two year veteran of the agency.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Highly respected. Christopher, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You must have only the highest standards for those who
work in our aviation system. I changed the Obama standards
from very mediocre at best to extraordinary.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You remember that only the highest aptitude they have to
be the.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Highest intellect and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify
for air traffic controllers. That was not so prior to
getting there. When I arrived in twenty sixteen. I made
that change very early on because I always felt this
was a job and other jobs too, but this was
a job that had to be superior intelligence and.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We didn't really have that, and we had it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
And then when I left office and Biden took over,
he changed them back.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
All right, very quickly. Stations.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
If you want to stay live with President Trump, just
stay where you are. If you're taking a brief break,
this is the moment when you'll do that to be
more commiss.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
At a level that nobody's That was at the same height.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Obviously when they hit, but pretty much the same height
and going at an angle that was unbelievably bad. When
the air traffic controller said do you see you know
he's talking about do you see him? But there was
very little time left when that was stated, and then
also he said follow him in.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And then almost immediately.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
After that, you know, seconds after that, there was the
crash that took place. Well, you follow them in, that
means like everything's fine, follow them in.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You had a pilot problem from.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
The standpoint of the helicopter, I mean, because it was visual.
It was a very clear night. It was cold, but
clear and clear as you could be. The American Airlines
plane had lights blazing, They had all their landing lights on.
I could see it from the Kennedy Center tape. We
(16:33):
had a tape up on the Kennedy Center that seems
to be the primary thus far. I'm sure we'll see
other tapes because it's such an area where there's a
lot of cameras, a lot of cameras looking up into
the air into space, so we'll probably see many other
shots of it before too much time goes by.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But we had a situation where you had.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
A helicopter that had the ability to stop. I have helicopters.
You can stop a helicopter very quickly. It had the
ability to go up or down. It had the ability
to turn, and the turn it made was not the
correct turn, obviously, and it did somewhat the opposite of
(17:17):
what it was told. We don't know that that would
have been the difference because the timing was so tight,
it was so it was so little, there was so
little time to think.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
But what you did have is you had vision. The
helicopter had vision.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Of the plane because you had vision of it all
the way, perfect vision of it all the way from
at Kennedy Center where the tape was taken, and for
some reason there weren't adjustments made. Again, you could have
slowed down the helicopter substantially. You could have stopped the helicopter.
You could have gone up, you could have gone down.
You could have gone straight up, straight down, You could
(17:52):
have turned, You could have done a million different maneuvers.
For some reason, it just kept going and then made
a slight turn at the very end, and there was by.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That time it was too late.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
They shouldn't have been at the same height, because if
it was at the same height, you could have gone
under it or over it, and nobody realized or they
didn't say that it's at the same height. At the
same height, it would still wouldn't have been great, but
you would have missed it by quite a bit. Could
have been a thousand feet higher, it could have been
two hundred feet lower, but it was exactly at the
(18:30):
same height, and somebody should have been able to point
that out.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So all of this is going to be studied.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But it just seems to me from a couple of
words that I like to use, the words common sense,
some really bad things happened, and some things happened that
shouldn't have happened. So you had a helicopter going in
an identical direction.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You had a helicopter that was at the.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Exact same height as somebody going in essentially the opposite direction.
You had a plane that was following a track, which
is a track that every other plane followed. And I
don't imagine I know I've heard today that they'd might
have been following the preceding plane, which was pretty close,
but not that close the preceding plane, but you wouldn't
(19:16):
have even been able to see that because of the
direction that the helicopter was.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Coming in at.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So you had a confluence of bad decisions that were made,
and you have people that lost their lives, violently lost
their lives.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
We're going to take a few questions.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I'd like to ask our new Secretary of Transportation to
say a few words, John Duffy, Great, gentlemen, just started.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It's not your fault, and I know you agree with
me very.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Strongly on intellect and even psychological well being of the
air traffic control such an important position, and I think
I can't emphasize stronger. I changed it when I first ran,
and twenty sixteen I changed it. We had the highest
standard that you could have, and then they changed it
(20:11):
back that was biden to a standard.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You just I read it to you.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
That was from one of your papers. One of the
people in this room, Map actually wrote that, and then
I changed it back a few days ago, and unfortunately
that was we'll see. We don't know that necessarily, it's
even the controller's fault. But one thing we do know
there was a lot of vision and people should have
(20:37):
been able to see that. At what point do you stop?
At what point do you say, wow, that plane's getting
a little bit close. So this is a tragedy that
should not have happened.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Please do.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Thank you, miss President, and I would just note the
President's leadership has been remarkable during this crisis. We've had
a whole of government response, local, state, federal, and when
you see that kind of cooperation, it begins with the
leadership in this body. So thank you for that, mister President.
You make our jobs a lot easier. You made an
(21:13):
important point that when we deal with safety, we can
only accept the best and the brightest in positions of
safety that impact the lives of our loved ones, our
family members.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And I think you make a really important point on that,
mister President.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
That is the motto of your presidency, the best and
the brightest, the most intelligent coming.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Into these spaces.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
I want to take a moment and extend my condolences
to the families of the loved ones. We commit to
them that we are going to get to the bottom
of this investigation, not in three years, not in four years,
but as quickly as possible with the NTSP.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Who is here today, as well as the FAA. What
happened yesterday shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It should not have happened.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Americans take off in airplanes, they should expect to land
at their destination. That didn't happen yesterday. That's not acceptable,
and so we will not accept excuses. We will not
accept passing the buck. We are going to take responsibility
at the Department of Transportation.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And the FAA to make sure we have the reforms.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
That have been dictated by President Trump in place to
make sure that these mistakes do not happen again. And again,
I want to thank you for your leadership, mister President,
and I appreciate that the confidence you placed in meet.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Thank you with rich.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Pete j acsousation.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well, thank you Visual President.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I want to echo what the Transportation Secretary said about
your leadership. From the moment we found out about this,
we were in contact with the White House trying to
determine exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I would echo it as well, no excuses.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
First and foremost from the Defense Department, want to pass
our condolences to the sixty four souls and their families
that were affected by this. Never should happen, and certainly
the three service members, the three soldiers, a young captain,
staff sergeant and the CW two Chief Foreign Officer. Our
routine annual retraining of night flights on a standard corridor
(23:24):
for a continuity of government mission. The military does dangerous things,
it does routine.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Things on the regular basis.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Tragically, last night a mistake was made, and I think
the President is right, there was some sort of an
elevation issue that we have immediately begun investigating at.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
The DoD and Army level. ARMYCID is on.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
The ground investigating top tier aviation assets inside the DoD
are investigating, Sir, to get to the bottom of it
so that it does not happen again, because it's absolutely unacceptable.
But I want to echo what the Transportation tectary, and you,
mister President, said, because it pertains to the d D
as well, we will have the best and brightest in
every position those affiliates as going to a brief break.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Now is the time otherwise, stay right here.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The best leaders possible, whether it's flying black hawks and
flying airplanes, leading platoons.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
So what plan did you have? Are we going to
see some fire?
Speaker 11 (24:21):
Are you going to find some ociles that they are
sitting higher in the federal government?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
What's planned?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Do you?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I would say the entry is yes, we've found that
people aren't mentally competent.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You see the language.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
The language is put out by them, and if you
see that, I'm not going to bore you by reading
it again. But these are not people that we should
be doing this particular job. It'd be very good for
certain jobs, but not people that should be doing this
particular job.
Speaker 13 (24:50):
Resident, you've today blamed the diversity elements, but then told
us that you weren't sure that the controllers made any mistake.
He then said, perhaps the helicopter pilots were the ones
who made the mistakes.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
So all under investigations. I understand that.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can
come to the conclusion right now that diversity has something
to do with.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
This crash because they have common sense, okay, and unfortunately
a lot of people don't.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
We want brilliant people doing this.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is a major chess game at the highest level
when you have sixty planes coming in during a short
period of time in the role, coming.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
In different directions, and you're dealing with very high level.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Computer computer work and very complex computers. And one of
the other things I will tell you is that the
systems that were built. I was going to rebuild the
entire system, and then we had an election that didn't
turn out the way it should have. But they didn't
build the systems properly. They spent a lot of money
(25:54):
renovating a system, spending much more money than they would
have spent.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
If they bought a new system.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
For traffic control is meaning the computerized systems. There are
certain companies that do a very good job.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
They didn't use those companies. They use companies that should
not have been doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
So I think this, I think it's very important to
understand that for some jobs, and not only this, but
air traffic controllers, they have to be at the highest
level of genius.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Okay, I want to ask you about the ice skaters
in a moment, because the US ice skating community was affected.
But first of I can the site of FAA tax
that you read is real. But the implication that this
policy is newer than it stems from efforts that began
under present by nor the Transportation Secretary Pete Buddhajege is
demonstrably false. It's been on the FASU. No, it's on
(26:42):
the website, the FA's website. He was there at twenty thirteen.
It was there for the entirety what I read. It
was there for the entirety of your administration too. So
my question is why didn't you change the policy during
your first administry?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Did change?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I changed the Obama policy and we had a very
good policy, and then Biden came in and he changed it.
And then when I came in two days three days ago,
I signed a new order bringing it to the highest
level of intelligence.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Okay, please.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Welcome back to the sorry you mentioned. A vision was
the probably the problem that was an issue in this crash.
There's been some reports that the one of the pilots
and that had the helicopter maybe using night vision equipment.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Is there any we don't know. We're going to know
that pretty soon. It may change your view plan if
you do have the.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Night vision, So it's very possible that could have happened.
That would be that would be maybe a reason why
you wouldn't actually see as well as on a clear
night you can see sometimes better without it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
A couple of mons, President, is it helpful.
Speaker 12 (27:47):
To have your secretary of Transportation confirmed? And does this
intensify your interest in getting other nominee from quick vot?
Is it helpful to have your secretary of Transportation confirmed?
And does this intensify your interest in getting other nomies
confirm quickly as well?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
For sure, we want fast confirmations, and the Democrats, as
you know, are doing everything they can to delay them.
They've taken too long. We're we're struggling to get very
good people that everybody knows they're going to be confirmed,
but we're struggling to get them out faster.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
We want them out faster. It's a good question.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Actually, we've been pushing Sean. Everyone knows Sean for a
long time. He got many, many Democrat votes. But they
want to take as long as they can. They ask
questions like some of the questions that Peter would ask
that we're totally irrelevant and not very good questions.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But they want to just keep it going. They want
to keep it going as long as possible. I was
very honored actually that you got so many Democrat votes.
It was really good.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
It was really good.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
But it's to be But i's fly to need to
visit families.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I take a question, easy question that need to training.
I bosed on through that time.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So what the detining that the helicopter was involved in it?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You can tell us involved You don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
These are the things that will come up with the investigation.
You don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
But the helicopter obviously was in the wrong place at
the wrong time, and a tragedy or current Please.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You'll go ahead place.
Speaker 15 (29:19):
He as the president, you've been critical of the current regulations,
and you've called for big reforms at FAA.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I'm curious or what I I made the reforms? What
is your message days ago?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
I made?
Speaker 12 (29:33):
Sorry?
Speaker 15 (29:33):
What is your message then to see American public in
the weeks and months ahead, should they feel hesitant to fly?
And if you could clarify perhaps something that the secretary said,
Mean said that this helicopter went on a continuity of
government mission.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I don't
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Them.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is on the air. Look, Mike, we're
not going in there like that. Like what hey. Look,
all our lives we've been bad boys all right, now
it's time to be good men.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Who in the hell want to sing that song?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Good man? Good man? What you're gonna do?
Speaker 5 (00:31):
Well, play me if you're singing a song like you
mean it, get a catch home.
Speaker 6 (00:35):
Shut down the FBI headquarters building and open it up
the next day as the Museum of the Deep State.
And you send those seven thousand agents in the headquarters
building down range to chase down rapists, to chase down murderers,
to chase down drug traffickers, and let the cops be
cops on the streets across America. You keep a small
contingent in Washington, DC.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Boys, what's he going to do?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
When they come?
Speaker 7 (00:59):
Boys?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Bad voice, bad boys?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
What's he going to do?
Speaker 6 (01:05):
You get rid of half of the legion of lawyers
and special counsels that exist within the FBI to do
one thing, to corrupt and obstruct government oversight from constitutionally
applicable committees in Congress.
Speaker 8 (01:16):
Bad what's he gonna do? What's he going to do
when they come boys?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Bad boys? Bad voice?
Speaker 8 (01:23):
What's going to do when they come employ And.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Another aspect of it, real quick is one of the
biggest institutions in the FBI that has been troubled and
politicizing weaponized has been their intel component. We have an
intel agency. I don't need it to be redone within
the walls of the FBI. We've shown when we've given
them that power what they do to it. They unluckily
surveil a president as candidate.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Bad boys, what's going to do? What you do when
they compose?
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Bad voice?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Bad point?
Speaker 1 (01:51):
What's he gonna do.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
When they come for you?
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Bad voice?
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Bad point?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
What's going to do when they come for you?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Know, for many years, I was saying, now one of
the seventy two vaccines mandated for children has ever been
safety tested in free licensing polas, see the controlled trials.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
And I wants bad boys people, what's it going to do?
What's it going to do when they come for you?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Bad boys? Bad boys?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Wants what's he going to do when.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
They come for you? Bad boys? Bad boys?
Speaker 8 (02:23):
What's he go a Wat's he going to do when
they come for bad boys, bad boys, what's he?
Speaker 4 (02:30):
What's he going?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And in many cases NIH is hearing the Royals. We
got all of these new vaccine in seventy two shots
sixteen vaccines and now even more because we're doing the
HPV vaccine. And that year nineteen eighty nine, we saw
an explosion in chronic disease and American children the neurological
disease is suddenly exploded in nineteen eighty nine, eighty D
(02:55):
eighty HD, sleep disorders, languish un delays, ASD, autism, to
red syndrome, ticks, narcilepsy. These are all things that I
never heard of. Autism went from one in ten thousand
of my generation, according to the CDC data, one in
every thirty four kids today.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Bad boice, bad boy.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
What a terrible crash last night over the Potomac in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 9 (03:32):
An American Airlines flight colliding with a black Hawk helicopter.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Presumed sixty dead.
Speaker 9 (03:40):
They are have been through the night, were in relatively
short order fishing some of.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Those bodies out of the water. I do not believe
they have recovered all of them. Obviously.
Speaker 9 (03:54):
My understanding is that you could only survive in that
water under the best of conditions at that temperature for
about thirty minutes if you hadn't just fallen.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Out of an airplane.
Speaker 9 (04:08):
But they continued the search and rescue operations through the
night and are actually continuing at this point, although I
suspect unfortunately that is more search than rescue, but of
course we hope for the best. President Trump is scheduled
to speak, was scheduled to speak begetting ten minutes ago.
What typically happens, because I'm often asked what typically happens
(04:32):
in a situation like this as to why it doesn't
start on time, is that they're waiting on some information
that he would like to reveal, because typically he does
not get real time information as he's speaking.
Speaker 10 (04:47):
Now.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
I don't need everything to be Donald Trump Visa VI
Donald Joe Biden, but I will tell you it's very
comforting to see it a moment like this where the
American people would like to hear from our president. It's
very comforting that he says, yep, with whatever information we
have available, I will get up and state that to
(05:10):
the public, whether that's drones flying over the country or
what really happened in the jfk assassination or why our
military did what they did, and whether, well you're going
to hear it all, and I suspect he will answer
to the best of his ability with things that may
not have already been known, and the American people deserves
(05:33):
to know. So we're going to be kind of in
a holding pattern pun intended here for just a moment
until he does go to speak. I don't know if
our station will go long for him or whether there
will continue with the commercial break, but it won't matter
because we're going to give you. You're not going to
miss any of the press conference as it happens. You'll
(05:56):
get it all here and it'll be available all day
long if if you're not able to hear all of it.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
So as soon as he comes to speak, we will
turn to that.
Speaker 9 (06:08):
There is a lot of speculation, and I'm not going
to conjecture as to what he's going to say. But
from everything I'm seeing and the sources that I trust,
this does not appear from what I'm told to be
a terror attack. It does appear to have been an error.
(06:33):
Doesn't make the grief any easier to bear for the
loss of life. It doesn't make it any less concerning
because there's a lot of money spent on technology and
training and staffing to ensure that these sorts of things
do not happen. One of the things I've been reading
(06:53):
about this morning is something called a flarm, which is
a flight alarm, which in this case was I'm told
not available and might have avoided this. And the simple
answer is, well, why wouldn't you have it if it's available? Well,
what is that worth? If you're in economics, is the
(07:16):
allocation of scarce resources. If it costs five million dollars
per bird to put it on, do you do it?
And people will say yes if it saves one life,
which means you've never had to make decisions with scarce
resources for the good of the whole. Because it's not
worth saving one life at a cost of five million
dollars when there are other things that could be done
(07:39):
that might cost five hundred thousand dollars and would save
ten lives.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
I don't know. I don't know about that.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
I do know this, you don't have the money for
a flarm that I'm told could have prevented this when
you send all your money to the Ukraine. I do
know that I know that for everything you tell me
we don't have the money for, we do have the
mo I need to send billions of dollars to Ukraine
and any number of other countries. The President just this
(08:06):
week freezing funding to Burma that was going toward minority scholarships.
The minority party in Hungary is screaming and hollering that
there was a freeze of money sent to Hungary that
was being used for the minority press there. What in
the hell are we paying for? The President should be
speaking by the time we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
You are listening to the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
We didn't learn our lesson President Trump's press conferences. They
typically don't start on time. President was scheduled to speak
at ten am Central. We are now twenty past and
he has not spoken yet.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
There is an art.
Speaker 9 (08:55):
To conducting a show when you're waiting on a press conference,
because as you want to catch the beginning of what
he's saying, so you don't want to go too deep
into a discussion. That would prevent that, and you can
end up in the mix, being thirty minutes into a show.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Without being able to do anything other than.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
We're not going to do that, so I will start
the show, and whenever the President begins to speak, will
immediately stop.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Fair done.
Speaker 9 (09:30):
The man who said on the Senate floor that Donald
Trump was a Russian asset.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Oh, and just like that, here comes our president. Here
we go. Here a few seconds behind he started speaking,
had here he goes. You'll catch it. The President of
the United States, Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I'd like to request a moment of silence for the
victims and their families.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Please, thank you very much. I speak to you this
(10:29):
morning in an hour of anguish for a nation.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Just before nine pm last night in American Airlines, regional
jet carrying sixty passengers and four crew collided with an
Army black Hawk helicopter carrying three military service members over
the Potomac River in Washington, DC while on final approach.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
To Rega national airport.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Both aircraft crashed instantly and were immediately submerged into the
icy waters of the Potomac.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Real tragedy.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
The massive search and rescue mission was underway throughout the night,
leveraging every asset at our disposal. And I have to
say the local, state, federal military, including the United States
Coast Guard in particular, they've done a phenomenal job. So quick,
so fast, it was mobilized immediately. The work has now
(11:21):
shifted to a recovery mission. Sadly, there are no survivors.
This was a dark and excruciating night in our nation's
capital and in our nation's history, and a tragedy of
terrible proportions. As one nation, we grieve for every precious
soul that has been taken from us so suddenly, and
(11:45):
we are a country of really we are in mourning.
This is really shaking a lot of people, including people
very sadly.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
From other nations who were on the flood.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
For the family members back in Wichita, Kansas, Here in
Washington and throughout the United States, and in Russia. We
have a Russia contingents, very talented people. Unfortunately we're on
that plane, very very very sorry about that. Whose loved
ones were board the passenger jet. We can only begin
to imagine the agony that you're all feeling. Nothing worse
(12:20):
on behalf of the first Lady, myself and three hundred
and forty million Americans. Our hearts are shattered alongside yours,
and our prayers are with you now and in the
days to come.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We'll be working very very diligently in the days to come.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
We're here for you to wipe away the tears and
to offer you our devotion, our love, and our support.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
There's great support. In moments like this.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
The differences between Americans fade to nothing compared to the
bonds of affection and loyalty that unite us all, both
as Americans and even as nations.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
We are one family, and today we are all heartbroken.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
We're all searching for answers that icy Potomac is it cold,
cold night, cold water.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
We're all overcome with de grief for many.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Who have so tragically perished will no longer be with
us together. We take solace in the knowledge at their
journey ended not in the cold waters of the Potomac,
but in the warm embrace of a loving God.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
We did not know what led to this crash, but
we have some very strong opinions and.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Ideas, and I think we'll probably state those opinions now
because over the years I've watched as things like this
happen and they say, well, we're always investigating, and then
the investigation three years later they announced it. We think
we have some pretty good ideas, but we'll find out
how this disaster occurred and will ensure that nothing like
this ever happens again. The FAA and the NTSB and
(13:47):
the US military will be carrying out a systematic and
comprehensive investigation. Our new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, his
second day.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
On the job.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
When that happens, we said, a rough one. We'll be
working tirelessly. He's a great gentleman. The whole group is,
these are great people, and they are working tirelessly.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
To figure out exactly what happened.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
We will state certain opinions, however, I'm also immediately appointing
an acting Commissioner to the FAA, Christopher Rochelieu, a twenty
two year veteran of the agency.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Highly respected. Christopher, thank you very much. Appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
You must have only the highest standards for those who
work in our aviation system. I changed the Obama standards
from very mediocre at best to extraordinary.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You remember that only the highest aptitude they have to
be the.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Highest intellect and psychologically superior people were allowed to qualify
for air traffic controllers. That was not so prior to
getting there. When I arrived in twenty sixteen. I made
that change very early on because I always felt this
was a job and other jobs too, but this was
a job that had to be superior intelligence and.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
We didn't really have that, and we had it.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
And then when I left office and Biden took over,
he changed them back.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
All right, very quickly. Stations.
Speaker 9 (15:17):
If you want to stay live with President Trump, just
stay where you are. If you're taking a brief break,
this is the moment when you'll do that to be
more commiss.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
At a level that nobody's That was at the same height.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Obviously when they hit, but pretty much the same height
and going at an angle that was unbelievably bad. When
the air traffic controller said do you see you know
he's talking about do you see him? But there was
very little time left when that was stated, and then
also he said follow him in.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
And then almost immediately.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
After that, you know, seconds after that, there was the
crash that took place. Well, you follow them in, that
means like everything's fine, follow them in.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
You had a pilot problem from.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
The standpoint of the helicopter, I mean, because it was visual.
It was a very clear night. It was cold, but
clear and clear as you could be. The American Airlines
plane had lights blazing, They had all their landing lights on.
I could see it from the Kennedy Center tape. We
(16:33):
had a tape up on the Kennedy Center that seems
to be the primary thus far. I'm sure we'll see
other tapes because it's such an area where there's a
lot of cameras, a lot of cameras looking up into
the air into space, so we'll probably see many other
shots of it before too much time goes by.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But we had a situation where you had.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
A helicopter that had the ability to stop. I have helicopters.
You can stop a helicopter very quickly. It had the
ability to go up or down. It had the ability
to turn, and the turn it made was not the
correct turn, obviously, and it did somewhat the opposite of
(17:17):
what it was told. We don't know that that would
have been the difference because the timing was so tight,
it was so it was so little, there was so
little time to think.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
But what you did have is you had vision. The
helicopter had vision.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Of the plane because you had vision of it all
the way, perfect vision of it all the way from
at Kennedy Center where the tape was taken, and for
some reason there weren't adjustments made. Again, you could have
slowed down the helicopter substantially. You could have stopped the helicopter.
You could have gone up, you could have gone down.
You could have gone straight up, straight down, You could
(17:52):
have turned, You could have done a million different maneuvers.
For some reason, it just kept going and then made
a slight turn at the very end, and there was by.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That time it was too late.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
They shouldn't have been at the same height, because if
it was at the same height, you could have gone
under it or over it, and nobody realized or they
didn't say that it's at the same height. At the
same height, it would still wouldn't have been great, but
you would have missed it by quite a bit. Could
have been a thousand feet higher, it could have been
two hundred feet lower, but it was exactly at the
(18:30):
same height, and somebody should have been able to point
that out.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
So all of this is going to be studied.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
But it just seems to me from a couple of
words that I like to use, the words common sense,
some really bad things happened, and some things happened that
shouldn't have happened. So you had a helicopter going in
an identical direction.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You had a helicopter that was at the.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Exact same height as somebody going in essentially the opposite direction.
You had a plane that was following a track, which
is a track that every other plane followed. And I
don't imagine I know I've heard today that they'd might
have been following the preceding plane, which was pretty close,
but not that close the preceding plane, but you wouldn't
(19:16):
have even been able to see that because of the
direction that the helicopter was.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Coming in at.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So you had a confluence of bad decisions that were made,
and you have people that lost their lives, violently lost
their lives.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
We're going to take a few questions.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I'd like to ask our new Secretary of Transportation to
say a few words, John Duffy, Great, gentlemen, just started.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
It's not your fault, and I know you agree with
me very.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
Strongly on intellect and even psychological well being of the
air traffic control such an important position, and I think
I can't emphasize stronger. I changed it when I first ran,
and twenty sixteen I changed it. We had the highest
standard that you could have, and then they changed it
(20:11):
back that was biden to a standard.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You just I read it to you.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
That was from one of your papers. One of the
people in this room, Map actually wrote that, and then
I changed it back a few days ago, and unfortunately
that was we'll see. We don't know that necessarily, it's
even the controller's fault. But one thing we do know
there was a lot of vision and people should have
(20:37):
been able to see that. At what point do you stop?
At what point do you say, wow, that plane's getting
a little bit close. So this is a tragedy that
should not have happened.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Please do.
Speaker 11 (20:50):
Thank you, miss President, and I would just note the
President's leadership has been remarkable during this crisis. We've had
a whole of government response, local, state, federal, and when
you see that kind of cooperation, it begins with the
leadership in this body. So thank you for that, mister President.
You make our jobs a lot easier. You made an
(21:13):
important point that when we deal with safety, we can
only accept the best and the brightest in positions of
safety that impact the lives of our loved ones, our
family members.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And I think you make a really important point on that,
mister President.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
That is the motto of your presidency, the best and
the brightest, the most intelligent coming.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Into these spaces.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
I want to take a moment and extend my condolences
to the families of the loved ones. We commit to
them that we are going to get to the bottom
of this investigation, not in three years, not in four years,
but as quickly as possible with the NTSP.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Who is here today, as well as the FAA. What
happened yesterday shouldn't have happened.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
It should not have happened.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Americans take off in airplanes, they should expect to land
at their destination. That didn't happen yesterday. That's not acceptable,
and so we will not accept excuses. We will not
accept passing the buck. We are going to take responsibility
at the Department of Transportation.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
And the FAA to make sure we have the reforms.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
That have been dictated by President Trump in place to
make sure that these mistakes do not happen again. And again,
I want to thank you for your leadership, mister President,
and I appreciate that the confidence you placed in meet.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Thank you with rich.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Pete j acsousation.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
Well, thank you Visual President.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
I want to echo what the Transportation Secretary said about
your leadership. From the moment we found out about this,
we were in contact with the White House trying to
determine exactly what happened.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I would echo it as well, no excuses.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
First and foremost from the Defense Department, want to pass
our condolences to the sixty four souls and their families
that were affected by this. Never should happen, and certainly
the three service members, the three soldiers, a young captain,
staff sergeant and the CW two Chief Foreign Officer. Our
routine annual retraining of night flights on a standard corridor
(23:24):
for a continuity of government mission. The military does dangerous things,
it does routine.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Things on the regular basis.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Tragically, last night a mistake was made, and I think
the President is right, there was some sort of an
elevation issue that we have immediately begun investigating at.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
The DoD and Army level. ARMYCID is on.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
The ground investigating top tier aviation assets inside the DoD
are investigating, Sir, to get to the bottom of it
so that it does not happen again, because it's absolutely unacceptable.
But I want to echo what the Transportation tectary, and you,
mister President, said, because it pertains to the d D
as well, we will have the best and brightest in
every position those affiliates as going to a brief break.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Now is the time otherwise, stay right here.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
The best leaders possible, whether it's flying black hawks and
flying airplanes, leading platoons.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
So what plan did you have? Are we going to
see some fire?
Speaker 11 (24:21):
Are you going to find some ociles that they are
sitting higher in the federal government?
Speaker 4 (24:25):
What's planned?
Speaker 12 (24:26):
Do you?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
I would say the entry is yes, we've found that
people aren't mentally competent.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You see the language.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
The language is put out by them, and if you
see that, I'm not going to bore you by reading
it again. But these are not people that we should
be doing this particular job. It'd be very good for
certain jobs, but not people that should be doing this
particular job.
Speaker 13 (24:50):
Resident, you've today blamed the diversity elements, but then told
us that you weren't sure that the controllers made any mistake.
He then said, perhaps the helicopter pilots were the ones
who made the mistakes.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
So all under investigations. I understand that.
Speaker 13 (25:08):
That's why I'm trying to figure out how you can
come to the conclusion right now that diversity has something
to do with.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
This crash because they have common sense, okay, and unfortunately
a lot of people don't.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
We want brilliant people doing this.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
This is a major chess game at the highest level
when you have sixty planes coming in during a short
period of time in the role, coming.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
In different directions, and you're dealing with very high level.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Computer computer work and very complex computers. And one of
the other things I will tell you is that the
systems that were built. I was going to rebuild the
entire system, and then we had an election that didn't
turn out the way it should have. But they didn't
build the systems properly. They spent a lot of money
(25:54):
renovating a system, spending much more money than they would
have spent.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
If they bought a new system.
Speaker 5 (25:59):
For traffic control is meaning the computerized systems. There are
certain companies that do a very good job.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
They didn't use those companies. They use companies that should
not have been doing it.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
So I think this, I think it's very important to
understand that for some jobs, and not only this, but
air traffic controllers, they have to be at the highest
level of genius.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Okay, I want to ask you about the ice skaters
in a moment, because the US ice skating community was affected.
But first of I can the site of FAA tax
that you read is real. But the implication that this
policy is newer than it stems from efforts that began
under present by nor the Transportation Secretary Pete Buddhajege is
demonstrably false. It's been on the FASU. No, it's on
(26:42):
the website, the FA's website. He was there at twenty thirteen.
It was there for the entirety what I read. It
was there for the entirety of your administration too. So
my question is why didn't you change the policy during
your first administry?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Did change?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
I changed the Obama policy and we had a very
good policy, and then Biden came in and he changed it.
And then when I came in two days three days ago,
I signed a new order bringing it to the highest
level of intelligence.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
Okay, please.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
Welcome back to the sorry you mentioned. A vision was
the probably the problem that was an issue in this crash.
There's been some reports that the one of the pilots
and that had the helicopter maybe using night vision equipment.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Is there any we don't know. We're going to know
that pretty soon. It may change your view plan if
you do have the.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
Night vision, So it's very possible that could have happened.
That would be that would be maybe a reason why
you wouldn't actually see as well as on a clear
night you can see sometimes better without it.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
A couple of mons, President, is it helpful.
Speaker 12 (27:47):
To have your secretary of Transportation confirmed? And does this
intensify your interest in getting other nominee from quick vot?
Is it helpful to have your secretary of Transportation confirmed?
And does this intensify your interest in getting other nomies
confirm quickly as well?
Speaker 5 (28:01):
For sure, we want fast confirmations, and the Democrats, as
you know, are doing everything they can to delay them.
They've taken too long. We're we're struggling to get very
good people that everybody knows they're going to be confirmed,
but we're struggling to get them out faster.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
We want them out faster. It's a good question.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
Actually, we've been pushing Sean. Everyone knows Sean for a
long time. He got many, many Democrat votes. But they
want to take as long as they can. They ask
questions like some of the questions that Peter would ask
that we're totally irrelevant and not very good questions.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
But they want to just keep it going. They want
to keep it going as long as possible. I was
very honored actually that you got so many Democrat votes.
It was really good.
Speaker 14 (28:46):
It was really good.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
But it's to be But i's fly to need to
visit families.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
I take a question, easy question that need to training.
I bosed on through that time.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So what the detining that the helicopter was involved in it?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
You can tell us involved You don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
These are the things that will come up with the investigation.
You don't know.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
But the helicopter obviously was in the wrong place at
the wrong time, and a tragedy or current Please.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
You'll go ahead place.
Speaker 15 (29:19):
He as the president, you've been critical of the current regulations,
and you've called for big reforms at FAA.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
I'm curious or what I I made the reforms? What
is your message days ago?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
I made?
Speaker 12 (29:33):
Sorry?
Speaker 15 (29:33):
What is your message then to see American public in
the weeks and months ahead, should they feel hesitant to fly?
And if you could clarify perhaps something that the secretary said,
Mean said that this helicopter went on a continuity of
government mission.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I don't
