Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, the one of the places on an aircraft, well,
not one of, but it's the best place to sit
on an aircraft if you hate turbulence. And this was revealed,
by the way, by a pilot, And yeah, I would
think a pilot would probably be pretty good with that,
(00:22):
or know, like where the best place to sit on
a plane is if you hate turbulence? Is there anybody
who likes turbulence? I mean, I'm not sure. I'm not
sure if that. You know, when you think of flying
and turbulence is the one thing that clearly I don't like.
But they say if the aircraft, you know, you look out,
(00:43):
you see the wings bouncing and so on. I've also
read that they make it to where the wings could
almost bend and touch each other over top of the
body of the aircraft, like they are that flexible, like
almost to where they can touch, and they would have
to be that way because you think about bouncing around
(01:04):
and so on. It's still unnerving no matter how you
stack it. But they say the best place to sit
on a plane if you hate turbulence is well, where
do you think the best place to sit on an
aircraft if you don't like turbulence, you experience the least
amount of turbulence on a plate.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I would think maybe over the wings.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Let's see if the guy who probably flies more than
most of the people listening in the audience all combined.
Congressman Jim Jordan joining us now, and Congressman, do you
happen to have you heard this before? Like the best
place to sit on a plane if you're concerned about turbulence.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I'm not, and I would not know. But I cannot
believe what you just said, Like the wings can actually
like touch the other wing, be cause you just say
they can beIN that.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Much almost They say there's no way, there is no way.
Well they I've read that that they are on purpose
designed that way clearly. I mean they need to be
flexible and to the point where they can bend that
far before they break.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
If they move like that, you don't need engines. Let's
let it flap its way to its destination.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
I was getting ready sick if they moved that far.
It's called a crash.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
What you talk well, and I'm talking about just sheer.
You know design if you will, clearly that's bad. If
you're in the air and they're flights that far. We
we know that that's bad, there's no question. But you know,
planes can I mean, you think about bouncing around and
how many times have you been sing and maybe you haven't.
I've been. I'm one of those people. I sit on
(02:41):
an aircraft when I fly Congressman, and I think to myself,
some of the stuff that happens, I'm like, I don't
know how this thing is, you know, especially if you've
hit some pretty heavy turbulence and you know types of thing.
You're like, these things have to be obviously made very,
very resilient. There's no question, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
So well, one time, this is several years ago, we
were flying here to DC. We turn around, went back.
I think we're coming on Dayton. Turn around went back
because the wind shield the wind show group was cracked.
I don't know hit it or what, but they said, wow,
we have to turn and go back and we land.
You look in the cockpit you saw the windshow crack
and sort of like that. But I never had that's
the first time that had happened. But I don't know.
I don't know. I'll guess the front of the plane.
(03:20):
I have no idea. I don't know where the best
place is Well.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
It says it reads here, the best place to sit
on a plane, if you're concerned about it is is
Uh where did it go? I just had it. Oh
my gosh. It turns out seat selection could play a
role in how intense it is. It is. Uh, it
is right by It's where you said chuck over the wings. Yeah,
(03:44):
over the wings. And it says the worst is in
the back, in the very.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Back, over the flexible wings that are flapping along the time. Yeah,
that's the best place.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I would try to sit in the back personally. Well
maybe not so much now since I lost weight, but
I used to like to sit in the back just
because it helped them highly do the wheelie for the takeoff.
I thought I was being kind saving on fuel.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah. It says if you're sitting by helping the takeoff,
you're sitting by the wings or just in front of them,
that it's far less intense as far as the turbulence goes,
and then the worst will be in the back. Well
here's the thing, and you see these I just saw
one I think it was late last week where there was,
you know, really bad turbulence and they said like twenty
(04:29):
people were injured on there because it dropped. Have you
ever been on one that just you know, just kind
of drops like, you know, big time out of nowhere
and you know.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Big drop that I felt that the smaller drops, but
not not a big drop.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Now, yeah, you fly a lot, so I'm surprised you Yeah,
you haven't, especially you're you know, in and out of
you guys. I think Reagan, you guys fly a lot
out yea and yeah, and I you know, we've seen
all the you know, what was it last year, that
horrific thing that happened and uh oh yeah, yeah, I
(05:03):
mean that's the thing that would just make me a
nervous wreck. And I'm flying in on Thursday. I'm doing
honor flight actually, so that's great.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
That's great program that that is. That's a special special deal.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm pretty excited Reagan.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
They do it right at Reagan when they when the
veterans get off and the honor they give you all.
So it's really good.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It's my very first one.
I got a couple of guys, a couple veterans who
were Vietnam both of them Vietnam Era, and then one
is Navy and one is Marine Corps, so I'm looking
forward to it. One the one guy talking.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
To swing by, are you are you coming to Capitol
Hill or again, well did you say what are you
coming in? When's your Thursday?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Thursday?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Oh, we're heading out on Thursday. I was going to
say it that, Oh, maybe we'd swing by them. I'd
love to visit with you in the veterans.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Oh, man, we are. It's going to be early. I
don't know when you're flying out, but we're going to be.
You know, we're leaving here. I think around six or
seven am, so.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
We'll be you know, you get a chance. I don't
know what time I'm leaving on. I don't know what
time I'm head out on.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Should I reach out to Russell?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah, just reach out to just reach out to the
to our office and we'll see if avail. I'd love
to say load.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
You guys, Okay, I will do that and say, hey,
a congressman told me to reach out to you and
kind of go that route, or maybe if you think
of it, tell him like, hey, I told Blazer to
you know, blah blah blah. So that would be fantastic.
Oh my gosh, that would be a thrill for these guys,
I guarantee it, you know, like kind of a thing.
The one thing that was interesting, I did end up
meeting the one guy lives in Mansfield Congressman, and his
(06:33):
name is Art and he is a he just turned
eighty two in the middle of last month, and he's
the Navy and he rides his bike twenty miles a day.
It's crazy. This guy is fit as a fiddle. I mean,
he's just you know, it's it's amazing and I'm really
looking forward to it. They say that it's just an
(06:54):
incredible day, and this is my first one, so I'm
really fired up. Yeah, it's gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
My first term. You know. Several years back, first from
here in Congress, I remember we were meeting a group
of World War Two veterans. Of course we don't have
many many still around, but it was a great group
of guys, of course. And then Senator, you know, former
Senator Dole came out and he would do that, he'd
come meet groups of and he came and I got
to talk to the Senator and you know, and then
(07:20):
he spoke to the to the to the to the veterans.
It was a really special thing that's probably like I
don't know, like eighteen years ago, but it's just it's
a special deal that that that's great that you're you're
a part of that.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, yeah, I'm really excited and yeah, I hear that
it's just a special day and I'm gonna be blown
away at you know, everything that occurs. So I I'm
really looking forward to it for sure. So I had
a listener Jim sent his name is Rod. He sent me.
He goes, Hey Blazer, tell Jim if you would Congressman
not to give in and get rid of the filibuster.
(07:53):
If they do, it'll come back to bite him when
the Democrats if they ever get into power again. I
don't know what your thoughts are with that.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Well, it's a very that's a very fair point, you know,
And you go back and forth because it's like, okay,
if if I mean large, it is the Senate matter.
But I mean we could work on legislation, but the
Senate would still have to make the decision because they're
going to have to vote a legislation if you try
out and do the filibuster. But I think it's it's
it is I think probably important to be a little
cautious here simply because remember they're the ones who the
(08:24):
top Democrat in the judiciary introduced a bill to pack
the court to add four associate justices to the United
States Supreme Court. So you know what they want to do.
And if and if you don't have that when they're
back in power, you don't have that block there, that check,
then they're going to do those past those kind of
pieces of legislation, which I think are just really harmful
(08:44):
to our great country. So I'm concerned about that. And then,
of course, the the opposite argument is they're going to
do it as soon as they're in power no matter what.
We might as well pass things that are important to
the country now, good policies that we campaigned on, and
that that I think is the argument President Troking. But
this is a call for the United States Senate, and
I see both sides of it. But I am worried
(09:05):
about if they're back in power, what they would what
they would end up doing.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, are you thinking that by the end of this week,
getting through Tuesday's elections, things are going to be resolved.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Because tomorrow is thirty five. We tie the longest shutdown tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, Well, yeah, if you remember, first it was the
you know, the no Kings march a couple of weeks ago.
Then it'll then that'll the Democrats will sentences, and then
of course it was all November. First, it's past Saturday
or Friday or Saturday whenever that was. I think with Saturday,
then they'll come to the sentences. Now it's election day,
so I don't know. What I do know is United
States Senator John Federman, who the last time I checked
(09:38):
is a Democrat, said it's the Democrat's fault that we
have this shut down. And of course every major federal
government union has said opened the government back up. Democrats
quit doing this. So when when Democrats are so against
Trump that they go against one of their senators who's
saying this, and and go against their their voting base
federal federal, uh you knowmployees, that just tells you how
(10:02):
dug in they are. So I don't know, I really
don't know this. You have to ask Chuck Schumer, and
it's you know, as I've said many times, this is
a debate Chuck Schumer's happened with Chuck Schumer right, because
he was four or six months ago, and now he's not.
It's the same darm bill.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All this posturing for the sake of politics. I think
I think the Tuesday election is going to be Look,
we've done everything we can. We got who we could
get elected elected. Now we got to get forty two
million people back their food stamps. That's and I think
I'm hoping at least that that would be the mindset.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And how and by the way, you know, once again
we have judges that are telling the president what he
has to do, like you've got to take care of
these snap benefits, are you like? And I know all
we can do is I mean I heard you kind
of chuckle there and I as well. I saw it too,
not one but two of them. I go, what is
going on? Like how does this continue to happen?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
This has this isn't uh yeah. The way it's supposed
to work is the way the consetition says, we're the legslayer.
Brands were the one who supposed to, you know, have
the power of the person appropriate funds and then the
executive branch can spend those funds if the government's open.
But here you have the other branch of government that
the digital branch, stepping in and saying this, So, yeah,
it is. It is kind of strange. And then think
about that number, forty two million. That's bigger than the
(11:17):
entire nation of Canada. I mean that that's that's that's
one eighth of our entire population on food stamps. And
a significant number of those individuals are are illegal migrants
who come to the country yep. And a significant number
I believe are people. This is why the big beautiful
bills have it, because we get about the fixing border
security and uh, and and we put in there the
(11:38):
work requirement because a significant number that forty two million,
I believe are able body people who can work, and
yet they're getting your your your with your tax money, uh,
getting the food stamps. So I think an underscores kind
of that issue as well. But yeah, you think of
how big one eighth of our population on food stamps supposed.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
To be not a not a lifestyle. It's supposed to
be helped, not okay, let's just live this way. You know,
it sounds like this.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is something that I think, you know, you're right,
forty two million people that is tragic in this country.
But and I promise my liberal son because he and
I went at it over the weekend that when next
time I talk to you and and Senator Eustad as well,
that I would address this. And that is the fact
that with all the ice raids and so forth that
are going on, I would love to see both the
House and the Senate concentrate on maybe pushing the employers.
(12:25):
We've got major employers in this country that are that
are giving jobs to people. If if your persona non
grata in the country, and persona non grata with your paycheck,
maybe you'll get out of the way and these benefits
that are supposed to be helping Americans can help Americans
without getting some dry by people that shouldn't be getting
them in the first place.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Because because my understanding is, as you point out, a
significant number of these individuals are, in fact here are
not American citizens. So that is that is a that
is a real, real problem. But that number I think
shocked even those of us who are in you know,
in life, how big it was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Try going into another country and saying, yeah, you need
to take care of me. Try that anywhere in the world,
you know what I mean? After we yeah, not one
country would do what we are doing for people that
do not live here, are not citizens here. It's unbelievable
to me, unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, absolutely incredible. Congressman Jim Jordan,
(13:27):
I'll send a note to russ by the way, and
uh and we'll see if we can't get that worked out.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Great.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Thanks, thanks man, thank you appreciate it. There he is
Congressman Jim Jordan's
You know, the one of the places on an aircraft, well,

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, Well, yeah, if you remember, first it was the
you know, the no Kings march a couple of weeks ago.
Then it'll then that'll the Democrats will sentences, and then
of course it was all November. First, it's past Saturday
or Friday or Saturday whenever that was. I think with Saturday,
then they'll come to the sentences. Now it's election day,
so I don't know. What I do know is United
States Senator John Federman, who the last time I checked
(09:38):
is a Democrat, said it's the Democrat's fault that we
have this shut down. And of course every major federal
government union has said opened the government back up. Democrats
quit doing this. So when when Democrats are so against
Trump that they go against one of their senators who's
saying this, and and go against their their voting base
federal federal, uh you knowmployees, that just tells you how
(10:02):
dug in they are. So I don't know, I really
don't know this. You have to ask Chuck Schumer, and
it's you know, as I've said many times, this is
a debate Chuck Schumer's happened with Chuck Schumer right, because
he was four or six months ago, and now he's not.
It's the same darm bill.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
All this posturing for the sake of politics. I think
I think the Tuesday election is going to be Look,
we've done everything we can. We got who we could
get elected elected. Now we got to get forty two
million people back their food stamps. That's and I think
I'm hoping at least that that would be the mindset.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And how and by the way, you know, once again
we have judges that are telling the president what he
has to do, like you've got to take care of
these snap benefits, are you like? And I know all
we can do is I mean I heard you kind
of chuckle there and I as well. I saw it too,
not one but two of them. I go, what is
going on? Like how does this continue to happen?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
This has this isn't uh yeah. The way it's supposed
to work is the way the consetition says, we're the legslayer.
Brands were the one who supposed to, you know, have
the power of the person appropriate funds and then the
executive branch can spend those funds if the government's open.
But here you have the other branch of government that
the digital branch, stepping in and saying this, So, yeah,
it is. It is kind of strange. And then think
about that number, forty two million. That's bigger than the
(11:17):
entire nation of Canada. I mean that that's that's that's
one eighth of our entire population on food stamps. And
a significant number of those individuals are are illegal migrants
who come to the country yep. And a significant number
I believe are people. This is why the big beautiful
bills have it, because we get about the fixing border
security and uh, and and we put in there the
(11:38):
work requirement because a significant number that forty two million,
I believe are able body people who can work, and
yet they're getting your your your with your tax money, uh,
getting the food stamps. So I think an underscores kind
of that issue as well. But yeah, you think of
how big one eighth of our population on food stamps supposed.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
To be not a not a lifestyle. It's supposed to
be helped, not okay, let's just live this way. You know,
it sounds like this.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is something that I think, you know, you're right,
forty two million people that is tragic in this country.
But and I promise my liberal son because he and
I went at it over the weekend that when next
time I talk to you and and Senator Eustad as well,
that I would address this. And that is the fact
that with all the ice raids and so forth that
are going on, I would love to see both the
House and the Senate concentrate on maybe pushing the employers.
(12:25):
We've got major employers in this country that are that
are giving jobs to people. If if your persona non
grata in the country, and persona non grata with your paycheck,
maybe you'll get out of the way and these benefits
that are supposed to be helping Americans can help Americans
without getting some dry by people that shouldn't be getting
them in the first place.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Because because my understanding is, as you point out, a
significant number of these individuals are, in fact here are
not American citizens. So that is that is a that
is a real, real problem. But that number I think
shocked even those of us who are in you know,
in life, how big it was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Try going into another country and saying, yeah, you need
to take care of me. Try that anywhere in the world,
you know what I mean? After we yeah, not one
country would do what we are doing for people that
do not live here, are not citizens here. It's unbelievable
to me, unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, absolutely incredible. Congressman Jim Jordan,
(13:27):
I'll send a note to russ by the way, and
uh and we'll see if we can't get that worked out.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Great.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Thanks, thanks man, thank you appreciate it. There he is
Congressman Jim Jordan's
