tv Hannity FOX News March 18, 2014 7:00pm-8:01pm PDT
7:00 pm
pilot robert mark, your final thoughts on tonight? >> we have one fact that we verified tonight, the inputs to the flight management system, that is something that didn't come from the malaysian government. there will probably be more facts we can verify. >> we'll do it all again tomorrow night. thanks, everybody. welcome to lannity, this is a fox news alert, it is now day 11 of the greatest aviation mystery in history. there are a number of brand new headlines to report to you tonight, including claims that some maldives islanders say they saw a low flying jet the day this plane vanished. that's not all, the island's military said the radar detected a plane that could have been a missing jet, but it didn't turn over the data until now, because investigators never asked for it. also due to mounting fears the plane may have been hijacked, israel is reportedly tightening its air security. we'll have more on that tonight
7:01 pm
with our military analysts. also later, a malaysian newspaper says authorities found five indian ocean runways on a flight simulator located inside the home of the pilot. we have a full investigation tonight on his possible role, that's all still ahead. adding to the long list of theorys, a british anti-terror expert is floating the possibility that flight 370 could have fallen victim to the world's first cyber hijack, and then finally sad news tonight out of china. some of the victim's family members are threatening to go on a hunger strike. joining me now with much more to lay out the facts, katherine, it gets deeper every night. >> it does, sean, u.s. investigators, including the ntsb and faa are engaged in a second review, more intense review of the data as the search enters its second week, and they try to narrow down the path for the missing jet. investigators are assessing the
7:02 pm
trajectory of the aircraft based on weather and fuel, and what is known about the flight's path once the transponder went dark, about 40 minutes into that flight. investigators can measure how far it can travel, even without power. the 777 can glide obviously not long distances. with the pilot and co pilot still under scrutiny, the source said, there's no evidence so far that the jet crashed, lending some credence to the theory the jet may be sitting on a runway somewhere, no conclusions have been reached. the malaysian media is reporting a half dozen remote landing strips were found on the 53-year-old pilot's flight simulator, found at his home in cue you'kuala lumpur. at the white house briefing today, the suggestion the plane could be on u.s. territory was dismissed outright.
7:03 pm
>> some news reports are saying the missing flight could have landed in a u.s. military base in the central indian ocean. do you rule in that or rule out that? >> i'll rule that one out. >> remember those two iranians that boarded the flight with stolen passports? we learned that that same stolen passport data was used a year ago by two different individuals who were trying to get visas for china. sean? >> let me ask you this, later on in the program, general mcinerney who is very serious person, he seems to have some intelligence, in fact, people that he's talking to, that believe this flight may have landed in pakistan, do we know if the plane had enough fuel to make it that far, and to quote the new york times that the flight path was altered by computer command and not better manual controls?
7:04 pm
>> simply based on this satellite communications link, they were able to identify earlier this week these two corridors, one that stretches down into the southern indian ocean, and the other that stretches up to kazakhstan. my read of it, is that there was sufficient fuel to reach both of those corridors, that is why the data was laid out in this way. okay, what do we know about the maldives and the reports of this low flying jet with the malaysian air markings, that came from a number of sources. they're foreign, we know it was a daily news report out of maldives, do we know anything about that? >> there was no independent reporting or confirmation from u.s. officials on that report, but what they emphasized today, when you look to the southern indian ocean, they have what they call black spots or big gaps in the surveillance system, it's hard to imagine in an era where almost everything seems to be under surveillance, there is not complete satellite coverage,
7:05 pm
and there certainly is not military coverage, because that is specifically or generally limited to the land bases, to answer your specific question, there was not independent confirmation of that reporting. >> i have a pilot friend of mine that alerted me to the federal register, and in this register, they talk specifically about what is -- i guess a defect on the boeing 777. and that is the -- which raises the possibility of a cyber hijacking, the way he explained it to me, somebody could be sitting in the back of the plane, and perhaps alter the trajectory of the plane and turn off the transponder. any investigators, anybody talking about that in washington tonight? >> well, significantly, based on my reporting today, this was the first time that a source familiar with the investigation said to me, very specifically, that there was no evidence, they had seen no evidence that the plane had gone down. now, that seems to be obvious on its face, it was the first time i had heard it phrased in that way, as to a potential cyber event on that aircraft, that has
7:06 pm
not been discussed openly, with reporters except to say that all options remain on the table. what's clear to me tonight, sean, is that there is a second intense review going on by u.s. investigators on this available signals data, so that's the satellite link, military and civilian radar in an effort to try to narrow down the flight of the aircraft, it reminds me on my experience of a homicide investigation, if you don't get good solid leads right out of the gate you're looking at a cold case, sean. >> thank you so much for your reporting tonight. now, colonel mcinerney joins us with his theory, the plane may have landed in pakistan. the path of the missing malaysian airlines jet was diverted from its original course by a computer system, and that someone in the aircraft's cockpit was responsible. fox's own is standing by tonight with the latest on this, william welcome. >> sean, the central question
7:07 pm
hasn't changed, was there a fire or a mechanical problem on board that mapped out the computers and communication? did someone breach the cockpit and take control of the plane? or were the pilots themselves complicit, here's the plane's original flight path north to beijing, the plane suddenly turns west. whoever changed the flight path, did so by typing into an on board computer rather than manually turn the plane. the auto pilot was already preprogrammed on the ground, meaning those new coordinates were inputted deliberately during flight. >> that's a standard procedure, the aircraft was scheduled to fly to beijing. >> so what's being reported today -- >> it could be speculation. >> anything is possible.
7:08 pm
>> also new information, when this happened, after 12:41 takeoff, things look fine. the co pilot says all right, good night. just about 1:22, the transponder which identifies the plane's speed and direction, stops broadcasting. six minutes later, thai officials say flight 370 turns west. a few minutes later, the plane makes a turn. now, this still does not tell us who, why or when the pilot was reprogrammed, we don't know. what we do know is, there is criticism of the malaysian military for not intercepting this flight, which is unidentified at the time, and second guessing malaysian's air traffic control. what did they do when the transponder went out? did they radio 370? did they call the military? not at this point has been ruled
7:09 pm
out, hijacking, suicide, terrorism, or mechanical. >> what you're saying there, there was likely somebody in that cockpit, all that points in that direction. so good reporting tonight, thanks so much for being with us. coming up, we have a busy night on this, breaking news edition of hannity, we'll check in with general tom mcinerney, he thinks this plane may have landed in pakistan, and then we're going to hear from malaysia's opposition leader about his relationship with the missing pilot. did this have any impact on the pilot's mind-set the day he got into that cockpit, as hannity continues. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods' first day of work.
7:11 pm
and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to cf before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade
7:13 pm
and this is a fox news alert, investigators are desperately trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the missing malaysian plane. joining me with analysis on what they think may have happened to the jet. former deputy administrator tom blank and d.j. frost. welcome to the program. let me start with you and ask, first of all, if investigators find on this captain's simulator, they find, for example, the five practice runways in the indian ocean what does that tell you, does that raise suspicions in your mind about him? >> well, sean, i flew a 767 not quite a 777 yet, but i want to say, it could be something interests or it could be
7:14 pm
nothing. it could be him wanting to prepare for future check rides, training events, things like that, it's something interesting, yet i wouldn't put a lot of faith on to something earth shattering at this point yet. >> what do you think, as a tsa investigator do you believe the same thing? >> i believe the key lesson from 9/11, we have to protect the integrity of the cockpit at all costs. it seems in this case, something went awry in the cockpit. we have an aircraft that has gone off its assigned course. we have controls that have been manually turned off, it appears, that tells us in this particular flight. the maintenance of the integrity of the cockpit, it failed, malaysian authorities fails to do that. i think the key to finding out where it is would be to continue
7:15 pm
the investigation as to why this happened. that would be looking into the background of the pilots, you have to begin there, you have to have a look at the flight crew, the ground crew and many other people who had access to the aircraft. piece it together and see why someone would want to breach the cockpit and take it over. >> what does it tell you that the maldives report a low flying jet on march 8th, with malaysian airlines marking. i don't know how trustworthy it is, but certainly as much information as we have right now, and it seems to be in the direction we've been talking about, right? >> sure, sean, i did see another report earlier this morning about fishermen claiming they saw a low flying aircraft that evening when they were on their fishing boat. we have not seen deeply what was in that cargo hold, could it have been some kind of lethal cargo, could it have been
7:16 pm
hazardous materials that could have exploded? what we know is that the plane turned, we don't know if it was a programmed turn, or if it was hand flown. it could have been turned with the auto pilot. if there's an emergency, pilots are trained to ave yat, navigate and then communicate. they might not have had time to communicate, i like to keep that in mind also as this is going along at this point. >> i like the fact that the guy had 18,000 hours in the air, that should give people confidence that are flying in that airplane. the fact that he had a simulator tells me enjoys his craft like many pilots i know. but five indian ocean runs? you couple it with the fact that he's a relative of this controversial figure and it was seven hours prior that he was sentenced to five years in jail. sure, it's a pretty muddled kind
7:17 pm
of motivation, i would think, it looked like he was living a pretty cushy lifestyle, i'm not completely sold on it yet, i'm still leaning toward possibly everybody became incapacitated, the plane just flew straight out into the ocean. >> how do you explain the altitude shifts that have been reported, 35,000 feet, 40,000 feet, 22,000 feet. and perhaps even a maldives sighting of a low flying plane with malaysian markings? >> i'm not sure of the validity of those altitude changes at this point. i'm not sold on that at this point. >> we do know the 777 is designed that the engines report technical information and send it back, it could have been picked up on satellite that is a possibility, it's something the
7:18 pm
engine is equipped to do, right? >> absolutely. and the plane could have kept flying for a time if everyone was incapacitated. as long as the engines are working it will fly until there's fuel starvation. >> i have a few scenarios, hijacked by the pilot or crew. terrorism from the pilot, co pilot. hijacking from a passenger. you can't rule out mechanical failure? >> all of those are on the table without a doubt. you have a certain amount of technical chaos here, you have civilian air traffic control from multiple countries. you have military from multiple countries, all giving some degree of information, i'm concerned we shouldn't rely on it at this point, because i still think the overriding consideration ought to be the
7:19 pm
motivation, why would someone want to take over this aircraft, what might there intent be with it, i think that's noble, if you continue to investigate, look into backgrounds, find out where that aircraft was, look at the cargo hold, who tendered the cargo hold. >> the federal register that dawks about the possibility of a cyber hijack, that somebody from within the plan could have disabled the communications ability of that plane, including shutting off the transponder, apparently it was a known defect within the boeing 777. possibility? >> i'm going to put that one at the bottom of my list and look toward some sort of semiterrorist or terrorist incident? >> what do you think, d.j.? >> i'm well versed in hypnosis, we have to be careful with the language that's used. >> the fact is, the transponder stopped working. the fact is, the acars stopped
7:20 pm
working, it turned. we don't know the facts as they stand now, if it could have been some other nefarious microwave technology within the flight path. >> don't we know it was altered by computer command? >> no, sean, they don't know. all they know is the plane turned, they can't know on the ground unless they have the black boxes that the plane was taken off the flight management -- >> i'm only telling you what "the new york times" is saying. the flight was altered by manual command not computer controls. >> how could they know that? they would only know that if they had the black boxes in their hands. >> can't the pilot, doesn't he have the ability to turn that off manually? >> absolutely he does. we don't know on the ground
7:21 pm
unless we have proof from the airplane. all we know is, it stopped working, once again, it's language, it's trying to do a command and have somebody understand a certain command. that's all they're doing right now. >> i'm just trying to get to the bottom of this, we're trying to put this together, the families deserve answers, i think all of us need to know whether oar not there was a hijacking of this airplane for our own safety and security as well. thank you, guys, we appreciate it. we have a lot more tonight, we'll hear from the malaysian opposition leader who had a relationship with the missing pilot. general tom mcinerney, he believes his sources on the ground are telling him the possibility this missing malaysian aircraft may have landed in pakistan. he'll be my special guest coming up later. hey, let me get it. ah, uh. i don't want you to pay for this. it's not happening, honey. let her get it. she got her safe driving bonus check from allstate last week.
7:22 pm
and it's her treat. what about a tip? oh, here's one... get an allstate agent. nice! [ female announcer ] switch today and get two safe driving bonus checks a year for driving safely. only from allstate. call an allstate agent and get a quote now. just another way allstate is changing car insurance for good. as a police officer, i've helped many people in the last 23 years, but i needed help in quitting smoking. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix varenline is pron to help peop quit smoking.
7:23 pm
chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. it actually caught me by surprise. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking, or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after opping chantix. ifou notice any of these, stop chaix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental-health problems, which could get worse whe taking chantix. don't ke chantix if youe d a serious allergi or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away, as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you ha a history of heart or blood-vessel proble or if you develop new worse symptoms. get medicalelp right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. use caution when driving or operating machinery. comm side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping, and unusual dreams. i did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker, but i do now. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.
7:25 pm
as the authorities continue to look deeper into the personal lives of everyone on board the missing malaysian flight investigators are closely examining the pilot and his relationship to anwar ibrahim. he did an interview earlier with the wall street journal live, watch this. >> is he related to your daughter-in-law's family, and how well did you know him? >> i know after the incident i was not aware until my
7:26 pm
daughter-in-law who is now in new york, alerted me that he's related to the pilot. i know him as a person, very compassionate about justice. he's very much a family man very close to the family, and very close to the local member of parliament from our party. >> what if any significance this may have. joining us now, the former senior official of the cia phillip mud, and former spokesman for four ambassadors to the u.n., rick grinnell is with us. we have a guy who's admitting he's a relative, there had been reports he sat in the courtroom. this is the opposition leader recently sentenced to five years in prison, he may have been in that courtroom up to seven hours before he took off on that
7:27 pm
flight. does that have significance in your mind? >> it does, that's only because we have so few facts, any fact we can grasp, any piece of a puzzle may help to clarify the situation. we have an absence of information here, have you to follow every lead you can get. >> have we been able to confirm -- we've been reading reports he was in the courtroom leading up to this flight. he was seen on a social media site with a t-shirt that said democracy is dead. he feels this is a grave injustice, a popular opposition leader, you don't think that would be significant? you downplay that a little. >> it might be significant. we spent a lot of time looking at specs of dust. we don't always weigh them against the 67,000 things we know. i don't think we know very much
7:28 pm
about the guidance system and whether there was something keyed in or not. we don't know if there was a fire, if it was manual, if it went left. the volume of the unknown is overwhelming. >> what do you think, rick? >> ten days into this, it's troubling to see the malaysians completely messing this up, and the white house earlier today we had jay carney very comfortable with saying the malaysians are in charge. i don't understand the white house not curious about what's going on. we don't know the answers, but let's assume it could be terrorism? if it is, you know who the darg et is going to be? it's going to be the united states of america. >> why would you say the united states -- when most of the nationals on board were headed to beijing and going to china, there was one american on board? >> we have the best technology
7:29 pm
in the world, the malaysians don't we've waited way too long for the malaysian technology to catch up. we know how to lead these investigations. we don't wait for the malaysians to invite us in. if it wasn't a terrorist attack, it's a different story. we need to get to the bottom of this, and not wait for the malaysians to invite us in. >> going back to what seems to be corroborated reports. the transponders are shut off on the plane, we have these alternating dramatically fluctuating altitudes on the plane. doesn't that say this was all done by design and somebody had to be in the cockpit? >> heck, no, it tells me maybe.
7:30 pm
i found in 25 years of analysis, that the difference between what we think and what we know is routinely blurred over by analysts, we've seen this in the past week, we know this. >> wait a minute, we have do add logic to this. the transponders and that device is off, we can argue technical, maybe not technical. we know now the pilot has the ability to do that. now we have these alternating altitudes. how come it ascends up to an altitude of 45,000 feet. we have one report, maldives saw it at a low altitude and identified this as a malaysian airliner, we have those reports that seem to indicate someone is flying this aircraft. are you saying that would be a malfunction? that seems odd to me. >> no, i'm saying, when we don't
7:31 pm
know what happened, we take information and line it up into a pretty line. this is saddam had wmd, he used wmd against his own citizens. >> he did. >> and therefore -- yes, he did. we take that into a straight line and say, it must be because he's spending so much capital avoiding the u.n. that he still has it. we don't know what happened here. we're coming up with stories to explain p. >> what do you think? >> you know, sean, the assumption in that analysis is that there's a lead country and someone who's looking at the facts and getting rid of certain items as not truthful or not believable. we don't have a country that's leading this, we do have the united states and the white house that's willing to let the malaysians lead and they're messing it up, we have to get to the bottom of this. >> i agree with you, but i'm surprised both of you aren't leaning with me toward the idea if the flight path was altered
7:32 pm
by a computer command, that tells me somebody in that cockpit knew how to change that, and that also tells me with the tran sporsponders turned off, t alternating altitudes tell a story of an airplane that is in somebody's control, do you agree with that? >> i totally, i think the evidence is pointing to the fact that this plane was under the control of someone other than who was supposed to have it many. >> mystery deepens, i appreciate both of your insights and we'll continue to watch this. we have more news on this breaking news edition of hannity. when we continue, this comes up next. >> my course of action that i gave you last friday, number one it was hijacked, number two, we ought to look at pakistan and eastern iran was a course of action that just wasn't arbitrary, that's all i can say. >> general tom mcinerney is here to explain why he's doubling down that this aircraft may have landed in pakistan and may be there today.

7:38 pm
would they have had the fuel capacity, that seems to be at the maximum level -- distance level of that aircraft? >> as it turns out, we got the last ping, seven hours after takeoff. for whatever reason, they apparently had put more fuel into it, it may be there standard prak sis, so they don't have to buy fuel in beijing, it may be more expensive, i don't know. i'm taking the data that says they got a ping -- their last ping was seven hours after. >> how long would that flight have been, just to give our audience some coordinates here. from where it took off, if it landed in pakistan, how long would that be? >> it's about 3500 miles, seven hours, 500 miles through, let's say. so -- and they went north for a part, say 3,000 miles, 3200 miles, something like that, there now appears to be evidence
7:39 pm
that there was a direct course through india flying in the shadow of a singapore flight 68. that hasn't been verified, the only thing that i have seen that is starting to become verified is the lignet report from boeing saying they believe the airplane was in pakistan which i talked about on friday. >> general, i've known you a long time, i know you too well to know that you're not just making this up, this is not something you've concocted. you've spoken to a number of people, am i correct? >> yes, but that's all i want to say, sean, please. >> fair enough. and you believe this plane is in tact and this plane landed? >> i do. >> what about the passengers of this plane? do you know anything about that? >> i don't know anything about their status. what i do know is, the most sensors that we have in the
7:40 pm
world are in that region, they're not in the south of the indian ocean, we have a lot of sensors up there so we have a lot of capabilities, i believe with rolls-royce and with boeing as well as the u.s. government, we know a lot more than is coming out. i suspect we may in the next 24 to 48 hours start hearing from the malaysian government or the pakistani government, if the pakistani government doesn't talk soon, they're going to be complicit in this. >> for this plane, if it would have landed in pakistan, the pakistanis would have had to know that? >> yes. >> the mystery -- is there anything else -- look, i don't want to press this, because i sense you're threading a needle here. is there anything else that you can share with our audience besides the fact that you think we'll know a lot more in 24 to 48 hours about this, do you -- and what do you fear most might happen if what you're saying is
7:41 pm
true? >> first of all, let me say, when the u.s. navy quits their search, their ship search, they must know something in the indian ocean. when the israeli defense forces increase their defense alert, they must know something, they are questioning people further out. for those people that say even with the transponder off, they got a ping. most people don't realize, the crew on at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 in the morning is not the a-team. it doesn't surprise me that this could have happened the way i am describing it. -- >> so this would explain -- go ahead, i'm sorry, sir. >> well, and the airplane would have landed 8:00 kuala lumpur time, 3:00 pakistani time in the morning -- excuse me, 5:00. there's a three hour difference, so it would have been dark. anyone who says they saw this
7:42 pm
overfly the maldives or whatever, it was dark. i don't see how anybody could say that. there's been a lot of strange information put out on altitudes and a whole host of things and a lot of it's come from the malaysian government. we've got to be able to sort through this, my concern is, if this airplane could be used as a weapon of mass destruction or conventional munitions that could attack a carrier, israelis, american forces, for instance. we have to be very alert until we know exactly where this airplane is. >> that would mean that the -- at this point, you said that the pakistanis, if they don't speak up soon they would be complicit. i would argue they're complicit now by not sharing their information and intelligence about this with the world. is that a fair observation? >> i think that's a fair observation. the way the boeing report came out, it said the air field was in taliban controlled areas, i think that's saying in western
7:43 pm
pakistan. and there are three primary bases, two are main operating bases and one is a satellite base that could handle this aircraft in the pakistani air force. there are other falcon bases, but i'll talk about that later. >> so your theory, and i'm interpreting here that this is based on information you are putting together, that would explain away the transponder purposely being turned off, and other communications being turned off, that would explain the ping that lasted up to seven hours later, when you consider the time frame flying out and changing course, it would also explain that the flight path altered by computer command and not by manual control. so what answer -- your theory would answer all those questions, right? >> it would, i believe both pilots may have been complicit, i believe that -- remember,
7:44 pm
turned off -- they didn't turn off communications, they turned off navigation aids. they didn't turn off their hf radio, vhf radio, their uhf radio, they had the sat com. they had communications, listening to what was going on, and probably transmitting to the location they were going to, that's why i think the u.s. vacuum cleaners -- or sensors that picked up all this stuff have probably been able to detect more than we're getting. >> there's a very good possibility that the united states knows much more than it's saying and that we'll probably find out in the days ahead. >> i think they do, and i think they want to be very cautious because they don't want to embarrass certain other nations that we're working close with, et cetera, and -- but the best leaks have come out of the u.s. government. >> all right, general, thank you for being with us. coming up, it's your chance to ask our aviation expert your

about doing tight prescreening of pilots. around the world we are not sure what they've got. i think the worst case scenario being out there -- >> that's why we need to get to the bottom of this. this is important, you can't stop something if you don't know what happened. >> it's hard to start eye new procedure. >> what did you think of general mcinerney's theory the u.s. knows more than they're saying? >> i do think there may be more information available than the public is being told. >> kathy, on facebook, sending in this question today, why isn't every airplane equipped with multiple black boxes that can't be turned off all over the plane. the black box is really orange, right? >> i think what she's asking, if i'm reading this correctly. she's wondering, why are there boxes that can be turned off, why give the pilots this ability? because there's been a lot of discussion about the acars
7:51 pm
turned off. in a word, the reason you can't turn everything off is safety. >> yeah. >> i'm sorry, the reason you can turn everything off is safety. >> sometimes the pings aren't strong enough from underneath the ocean, they don't go on long enough. how many days does the black box -- >> that's a different kind of black box. what i want to get to is why do pilots have the ability to turn things off. safety, it's because of smoke and fire. >> next question, i think it's vevec seqsana. if indeed it crashed into the ocean, are there any chances of some of the debris being present? this is an obvious question. what about the flotation devices we're all warned about. >> when we washing up in countries around the world nos later. here sat problem. there is something going to be hard for people to discern as part of the malaysian flight.

could be wattel bottles and people may not know is associated with that. however, conversely we're going to see a lot of bogus claims and dubious things people goring to claim is from the flight. whether they'ret fame or a reward >> thanks for joining us. appreciate it. now, coming up should the u.s. be more involved for the search of the missing aircraft? we'll have much more as we continue. before larry instantly transferred money from his bank of america savings account to his merrill edge retirement account. before he opened his first hot chocolate stand calling winter an "underserved season". and before he quit his friend's leaf-raking business for "not offering a 401k." larry knew the importance of preparing for retirement. that's why when the time came he counted on merrill edge to streamline his investing and help him plan for the road ahead. that's the power of streamlined connections. that's merrill edge and bank of america. i have a big meeting when we land,

this is a fox news alert on day 11 of the missing malaysian airline mystery there are growing calls for the u.s. to step in and lead the investigation. the families are still waiting for answers here to talk about that is fox news contributor dana perino. should the u.s. be leading more? every day that passes i get more concerned that we're not getting anything. >> yes.
7:57 pm
i think the united states has a huge role to play but they also in ways they might actually be doing more than they're letting on because they have to let malaysians take the lead and it's important to save face. malaysians have not inspired confidence. >> malaysian government changes jet time line again. >> not only. that you have information from thailand from the thai military saying we saw the plane. why didn't you tell us? they said you never asked us that question. like something your teenager question. oh, you didn't ask me that specific question. >> did you lose your phone? you didn't ask me if i lost my phone. all right. i was most intrigued. look. i like general mcenernie. knowing more than he's saying that intrigued me about the plane possibly landing in pakistan. what is your reaction?
7:58 pm
>> it was a stunning interview. he's a grown up in the room. a very serious person. >> he is a grown up. >> i watched that as if i'm watching out of a tom clancy spy novel. given the sources i has and how serious he is, he doesn't seem like the person to stick his neck out and say something wild ask crazy. it might add another chapter to this. >> dana bring us to the white house we know more than we tell the american public we have diplomacy in mind. >> right. one of the things have you to balance as president is the public's right to know versus integrity of the investigation. it could be the united states knows more and they're chasing down threats and we'll find out everything. the other part, point, is that before september 11thth people didn't concede that that was possible have you to be very image in a tiff ask creative and you have
7:59 pm
to think about all of the different possibilities. the problem for a communicator is how do you not let the conspiracy theorys get in the way of an investigation? you don't want to instill fear in people needlessly. >> does that become a little bit of a moral quandry for you? because you know more information? you're not going to give the answer? . >> i felt as press secretary i there is a way to deal with it. do you remember mumbai bombings? we had to realize indians are involved, pakistanis are involved united states were there because we're some of the victims. we knew information but couldn't let it out because we were trying to track down the people. i say to reporters i know why you'll asking me that and i will get you to you as soon as i can. >> wish i had more time, i just
