1:02 am
tariffs secretary kristi noem is here to react but first, again,u we are learning new details about the deadly crash outside of reagan national airport lasta night between passenger jet and a black hawk where we are learning the details that one f liout the data recorders from te american airlines flight was i recovered. foxes ins mark meredith in the potomac park at the crash site e detail. a lot of stuff breaking late big tonight. >> laura, which areas in the big headline as you mention one of the black boxes data recorders acimingfrom j 700 airlines jetn recovered answd that is coming from congressional sources demanding answers all day long from federal investigators aboua what happened.n you brought up a good point this ncluairport in d.c. is used by e many in washington including those who serve a congress. they are interested to knowan exactly what happened. however ntsb said it is way too soon to jump to conclusions because they are so manye pieces of the puzzle that they are simply trying to piece
1:03 am
together. the video showing reagan airport shows the moment of impact as cr j 70 the0 collided with black hk helicopter just about 8:47 p.m. last night. the search is underway for for debris that may have floatedh wa away from where the majority of the crash was.e as investigator said, they know this will take some time to figure out preliminary reports a month away. nee only one piece of the puzzle. >> i am going to say is you neee to give us time. you need to get ntsb time.on but is not that we don't have information.rmat we do have information. map data and we have substantial y amounts of information. we need to verify information. we need to take our time to make sure everything is accurate. >> american airlines dispatched its crisis team as well as co2 washington. wenger have not gotten a passenr manifest about some of the names,o. laura, trickling out og
1:04 am
by one. when he tried to figure skating community on board as well as school districc.t outside of d.. >> what happened yesterday should not have happened. it should not have happened. when americans take off in airplanes, they should expect t> land at their destination.pilo >> we are learning more about some of the people piloting the aircraft. the black hawk crew chief's husband and father and we heard from some of those back in his georgia where he grew up remember his time jr. are tco and learning about sam lively, t 5342 and planning his wedding, g 2019 like army veteran father. these stories, laura will keep coming one by one as we learn about each of the 67 people killed last night. we can hear some of the airnd traffic continuing t oo flow in and out of the airport that laura, nothing like a normal. night.
1:05 am
terswe have not seen helicopterc about an indication so much less air traffic as investigators pieced together what happened.ti >> laura: it is heartch. shattering, mark, thank you so muchfa. these are crushing for the people across the family in russia. all of us want to know how this could have happened.of t 67 americans dead and others in other countries but one of the t busiest airports in the counte i fly out of that all the timee and everyone around here does. it is just a few miles from the white house and the capital. so is it really necessary for military aircraft to conduct nighttime practice rounds so close to a busy commercial flight path? layperson, that seems, i don't know, i'm sorry, but it sounds stupid. love his question,k ha i didn'te black hawkn pilot heed thee it warning? the other question, did he receive it or was it transmitted to him or did it come on another channel? and what was the staffing like
1:06 am
in the tower? were there and fis on the skies? but there is disturbing new information out tonight that may asshed light on the situation he to "the new york times" first race but the staffing at reagan airport that time of night and the tower was not normal. and it internal report many d unsettling facts but perhaps this is the most disturbing pier to the controller handlinght w helicopters in the airport'swe this mentee thursday night was instructing planes landing andre departing from the runways.ro those jobs are typically assigned to two controllers rather than one. so, let that sink in for ahe minute. should be assumed that since they controller shortage exists coast-to-coast and all acrossrst the country they were controller shortages and the tower's coach at that these controllers nationwide are now doing double duty under extreme pressure? with thousands of lives on the line every day?s on more from the report here to
1:07 am
this increases the workload for the air traffific controller an complicate the job.o fr when reason that controllers cal use different radio frequencies to communicate with pilots flying planes and pilots flying helicopters.he t while the controllers communicate with the helicopter and th be chat, the two sets of pilots may not be able to hear one another. okay, this is insane. at the staffing and the tower at reagan national athlete was neay a third below targeted staffti levels, we read.anal again, until they find and analyze all the black boxes, we won't know what caused this crash.reme to it is worth remembering alon with the staffing problems are the upticks in the number of close calls on runways and near midair collisions. just a few weeks ago we had one. and this is winnings from aviation experts that would only be a matter of time before
1:08 am
tragedy struck. >> we have current and former air traffic controllers telling "the new york times" that close calls were happening soa frequently, they are really scared and only a time until a p deadly crash occurs. we don't want to scare peoplebe out there mech. we just want to let them know this is going on behind the scenesrror.we hjust be what this is a job whe hichno room for error and even e have the best invest in place which we should, we cannot expect them to handle the doubl workload appeared to the new trump administration is committed to fixing this mass, which requires getting the faa back to a single folk focus toe. keep the skies safe, not to keep the workplace diverse. >> i went into a meeting and i asked junior most junior person there and i looked around thes s table, when it was full of women. that is when i realize this is an agency with empowerment and grow them and have him become
1:09 am
leaders. spray went now, a live that nonsense with diversity has to i it is back to to common sense.e these air traffic controllers should be hired and paid extremely well. in the tower should be well staffed. excellence all around. joining me now scott pattillo commercial airline pilot retired and flew into the reagan national airport several times and michael pearson, aviation attorney and former air traffic controller himself. i will start with you and reaction trtino this new reportg that another plane had to abort landing at reagan a day before because of the helicopter.be >> it is not surprising because the pilots are trained in situations like this whether to continue to press down they wili execute a go around by air traffic control and the captain will command a go around s if ty see something that isy
1:10 am
questionable at any level. it is not surprising that as she mentioned, the frequency of these will continue to happen to increase as industry continues to push more and more capacity in these airports and demand a more and more appear to system is at a breaking point. each of the staffing have beenpi highlighted.g al we have a lot of inexperienced pilots coming along and getting trained inpo getting up to spee. but the breaking point isfrom approaching. last night, it was absolutely tragic. and from an aviation professional, our hearts and prayers and condolences and thoughts are with the victims and the souls lost and the first responders and the controllers in thetem tower. it is absolutely traffic. i'm afraid until the system gets fixed, it will continue. >> laura: again, michael, it's not like we haven't had near midair collisions and near
1:11 am
runway collisions documented. b we have done stories on "the angle" about this. this has been going on for years. i work for d.o.t. ages ago and we called them miramax near collisions and when mid air collation, that is a warning sign someone made a mistake or a n the system.k ti and against "the new york timese is reporting that controller was handling the helicopters andat also instructing the planes. at the same time. so i can, i already made note o this but i'm raising it again ae because they are already overstretched in the tower.e now they are doing double duty? scott, take a swing at that one. >> that is so hard this, laura. just i'm sorry, michael, michael for that when. michael, go ahead. >> this is a preventable
1:12 am
disaster. the system has bee n under attack through the dei and the faa bowingss to wokeness since 2010, since the obama administration. atthe lack of staffing is direcy attributable to the obama administration, terminating ats list of eligible, well-trained aiher traffic control statements and 36 universities across the country in 2013 because they were too white. t to faa also at the same time implemented an immunity program. so you think you are seeing legitimate statistics. you arinlde not. in the old days before 2010cl immunity program, air traffiosc controller cut airplanes to closed too many times, they would be decertified andwith retrained. 8now, they are not. all they have to do within 48 hours of being noticed are beinn investigated for potentialop separation error, calleder operational errors in the faa.h
1:13 am
the controller simply has to avail themselves of the program that gives them immunity. when i say immunity, i mean immunity. they faa cannot retrain these people. so we have repetitive domestic incidents of malfeasance or incompetency. to the faa of immunity program b cannot rectify the situation. rsthey have to basically allowoe person to remain in the same position. but is very, very difficult foru the faa to retrain a controller. it is attributed to, quite frankly, the union and the working together to basically use this program to gerrymandero the statistics of the equations. you mention are absolutely correct. >> laura: scott, do you agree that it's a problem in the skies? you have the issue of understaffed towers and you have t the issue ofto some diversity element to this but we don't
1:14 am
know how fully match the impact of this if at all. but we do know clearly that is the undercurrent at the least year. p part retired and i'm not doing this anymore. >> yeah, and that is tragic to loseperi that experience level a time right now where the hiring and the airlines is very, very robust and they are bein g mean and people as quickly as they can. to lose the experience of air traffic controls and airlines with mandatory retirement sub pilots at such an early age with a lot of life left toll contribute. the mandatory is as well. another aspect of this, laura, the antiquated and be able y,system and the airlines and across the industry, minimumar equipment list in a lot of cases was developed years and yearsce agd o before the separation standards begun to be reduced to such levels as they are today.sa the system was never intended to
1:15 am
handle separation reduce continued operation we are looking at coupled with antiquated equipment and poor training of the controllers. it is tough.th the specifics -- >> laura: we will have youere do both back. o many elements to this in so many layers to this. i don't want to give it shortif shrift.. o to be touched on it tonight and thank you both so much. we have a tragedy like this, we realize as a nation we needad leadershiper so today we sawh. defense secretary pete hegseth and all they slay sean duffy new transportation secretary sworn and days ago and of course president trump. everybody was front and center. but we still have a problem inla the cabinet is still not filled. we are still waiting for votes on several important roles. >> we want fast confirmations. the democrats, as you know, doing everything to delay. they have taken too long. we are struggling to get very
1:16 am
good people everybody knows wil be confirmed. that we are struggling to get them out faster. we want them out faster. >> laura: 20 minute nap lara trump, rnc cochair. and a delay to me at this point is ludicrous today just reminded us of that. >> absolutely, we need to get these people confirmed and we need a government working alongside the president. the american people made it clear november november 5th theo want donald trump in thee white house and a team of people alongside of him who will be able to assist him and get a job down here you saw today, laura w important it wasduff secretary pete hegseth, transportation ray secretary sean duffy and wy out the saw 1o after this horrific incident that you had the uni president b the united states wither these o important members of his team alongside of him able to talk to the american people, able toalso give them all the information they had at the moment but t
1:17 am
also able to say, we will get to the bottom of this. we will noearst let this go on r years and years. we wilicanl work quickly and wel get answers for the american people and for these families who have been so devastated in the past 24 hours. i think you really need to take this into consideration when you look at the people he's trying to get confirmed.lo weng need a robust government.is we need them to work alongside donald trump. you are right, laura, anybody doing that because of politics f ought to be ashamed of themselves. >> laura for: the president tooa lot of heat and that is to put it mildly for bringing up the issue of dei, you know, theief. folks just need information and not speculation. but he was not pulling that froy thin air. i want to show everyone what biden's deputy faa said in 2018. watch. >> we needersp diverse group ofr
1:18 am
traffic controllers to bring perspectives to handle ever-changing airspaced landscape. i'm calling on students and alumni from hpc yous, hispanic serving institutions and tribal colleges to apply now. we need a diverse, nexta generation air workforce. >> laura: laura, i think people today look at that go why does it have anything to do with confidence to secure safety in the skies? >> your previous guests dictated we have these universities that at one time where the best atco training air traffic controllers.o many of them are no longer functioning because they were apparently too white. that is outrageous.d you had donald trump signed presidential memorandum and itot is shocking he had to do it. but they show you, laura, the grand scheme of america, hiring out that competence and merit.
1:19 am
and it is crazy that we have to say that certain thing. buf t you look at the way this sort of stuff has impacted oure. society. obviously, it is a huge problem and obviously it is negative. when you are hiring somebody for we wany other reason, you are dg a disservice to the public.d wene want the best people. we want the most competent people. and we per should never hire ane for any job other than the best person for that job. that should be the number one reason .d >> laura: lara, as always, thank you very much. shakinwithg up the deep state, s on capitol hill, fireworks. ♪ ♪

1:45 am
learning. reading comprehension skills across the country are hitting all time lows. according to the nation's report card for eighth grade reading scores, not a single state had an increase, and eight states even saw a decrease in reading comprehension, including illinois. the news for fourth graders, that's no better. test scores reveal only 31% are reading at grade level. and yeah, that's lower than before covid. now, this brain rot is a national emergency. we need to fix this, and that requires a return to basics and cut the fat and eliminate harmful influences in our schools. and with that goal in mind, president trump issued an executive order defunding k through 12 public schools that waste taxpayer money on crt and radical gender ideology. and joining me now, vivek ramaswamy, former presidential candidate, founding member of doge. vivek, great to see you. this is such a disturbing but i guess not surprising report
1:46 am
what can be done to turn this tragedy around. >> i mean, the fact of the matter is, it's even worse than you might imagine. 75% of eighth graders, laura, are not math proficient according to international standards. we're in number 26 out of 38 developed countries. there are kids in other countries where english is not even their first language out, beating our own students on english proficiency. and i just think speaking as an american and as a parent myself, that's unacceptable. president trump is leading the way. i think that's great at the federal level. shut down that department of education and give the money back to the states. but then it's going to have to be the states that lead the way in improving education, merit based pay for teachers, something we don't do today, universal school choice. so everybody is able to achieve the best education starting at an early age. and then, laura, i think more deeply lighting a fire under the feet of our educational culture, not teaching our kids to be victims, but to be victors, rewarding excellence instead of victimhood. i think that's a cultural change we need in our
1:47 am
educational system, too. and if we don't fix it, china is going to be eating our lunch if they already aren't. >> yeah, you retweeted another tweet today that i caught vivek on how china has has adopted. obviously the more the soviet education approach, which is really based on competition, that competition is good for you. but in our schools, competition is seen as kind of in some, in some ways dangerous because it hurts people's self-esteem. and they got rid of class ranking in a lot of schools, including some of the ones i'm very familiar with. and that's just i mean, that's just lowering the bar for kids. >> sure. i don't think we need a soviet style system. i think we need a return to the true american system based on achievement and winning fewer participation trophies, more championship trophies in every area of life, from sports to the arts to music, but yes, also to math and science and reading. and i am worried. i think this is in the long run. laura, i don't think i'm
1:48 am
exaggerating when i say this. this is a national security risk to the future of the united states. if we have an entire generation that's dependent on china, it's unacceptable. and yes, the woke left is responsible for a lot of this. you responsible for a lot of this. you and i have been critics that it goes beyond that where we have to light that fire under the beat of a generation and teach them achievement is actually worth working for. hard work is an american virtue. at that doesn't start in college. it doesn't start in high school. it starts young's. president trump is laden of the culture but it will take the states to lift us up. >> laura: your family is an unbelievable example in that regard, vivek, great to see you. a head coach of the reason democrats want to stop rfk jr. what is the real reason? dr. pinsky has a theory and he is next.
