angle" from washington. thank you as always for joining us. tonight the airline industry is under fire. are the skies really that friendly if we don't have confidence that the people hired to keep us safe are the best and the brightest? >> come on. for the men? i don't think so. ♪ i don't think so. ♪ bad girls ♪ do it well >> got into harvard law ♪ what, like a park. >> what is your name as a group? >> the click. click or cleaning college? >> delta uses this airline to offer some of its regional jets. and that gets us to flight risk. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> it keeps happening. >> two people dead after the faa said this occurred in a mid-air

collision right here at the atlanta airport. >> laura: that was this morning right outside of tucson and that made it five crashes in one month. now, late january, of course, here in d.c., we saw the worst american aviation disaster in over 23 years. an army helicopter collided with an american airlines jet 67 people dead. only a day later in philly a medevac plane came down from the sky like a missile. seven dead. 19 injured. then last week in scottsdale one pilot and a private plane is dead after they veered off the runway and crashed into a business jet. >> on monday night in toronto terrifying video of a delta jet that flipped over at landing.

miraculously, no one died. but questions are swirling about how this could have happened. what on earth is going on. americans are worried, understandably so. especially when we seem to get information in dribs and drabs about how this is happening. to restore trust in our aviation system, we need total transparency. now, last week, regarding that horrific d.c. crash, the ntsb offered only a preliminary finding. >> cvr data from the black hawk indicated that the portion of the transmission stating the crj was circling may not have been received by the black hawk crew. >> how do they not know if this is a problem at this point in the tower or was it in the cockpit? we don't know. but we do know that we need to get a handle on this and fast. because the flying public must be reassured. and who can blame them because, under biden, the faa, the u.s.

military, and corporate america elevated dei, diversity, equity and inclusion to deity status. and, by the way, that included delta airline. >> i went into a meeting and i was the junior -- most junior person there and i looked around the table and it was full of women. and that's when i really realized this is an agency that can empower women and grow them and make -- and have them become leaders. >> laura: how reassuring. and we certainly know that under biden and harris dei was enshrined at every level of government. that was a top priority for them. now, recall the rampant speculation when there was a delay in announcing the name of that female black hawk pilot who was one of the three crew members tragically lost on that helicopter when it collided with the american regional jet. meanwhile the two male pilots names were released in just hours of the crash. now, most of the female pilots'

social media had been scrubbed we learned about in the interim which, of course, just led to more speculation. again, whatever the truth is are, the public has a right to know. so, is this series of aviation nightmares is it all just really a coincidence or have we lowered standards because we lost pilots during covid, remember the vax mandate or did we some somehow lose pilots to meet dei goals? again, we need answers. but my favorite moment of the day came this morning on cbs when gayle king in an interview with a delta ceo tried to blame trump's faa staffing cuts on this. >> after looking at all these mishaps, a lot of people are very nervous. do these cuts effect you. >> the cuts do not effect us, gayle. the reality is there is 50,000 people that work at the faa and the cuts i understand were 300 people and in noncritical safety functions. >> laura: oops? time to buy a vowel or call

oprah. now, we shouldn't be surprised though because when gayle's show prep is always the anti-trump echo chamber, of course that's what she is going to say. >> this is going to, yet again, raise the concern about f are aa staffing, air traffic control staffing. >> hundreds of faa employees have been laid off as part of elon musk going through all the federal agencies. >> i have i have been panicking over that you will insanity with these planes. let's start with the string of mass firings by elon musk's doge. >> i feel like we are living in some kind of chaos right now. >> laura: totally, joy. well, they are just taking, again, their cues from their unofficial bosses. >> the faa, the more donald trump and doge hack away at public agencies, the greater harm to americas' well-being and even their safety. >> laura: of course, even before that toronto crash, eric

swalwell said that all the crashes are trump's fault. >> but all this does beg the question, is there something we are doing with these critical positions that is making the skies more dangerous? how could that toronto scene have unfolded the way it did? matthew buckley was f-18 and commercial airline pilot. he said the pilot should have been able to slow that aircraft down. >> have you ever seen a crash like this on a regular runway with no snow? that fireball eventually catches up to the airplane as it stops and fuel is all over the place. this could have been a hell of a lot worse. thank god it actually rolls in the snow. can you actually see the fire more or less go out. in this case the snow actually saved a lot of lives. >> would the pilots have enough warning if they were coming in to contact with the ground too quickly. >> absolutely, bill. >> laura: oh, and what do we know about the pilots in the

cockpit that day? we'll find out. the bottom line is we should never have to even discuss whether diversity, equity and inclusion was a factor in any critical role but especially in the cockpit if the best pilots are indeed women or minorities, great. fantastic. job placement should be based on merit, period. same with fellowships and medical school or in any other area of life where life and death literally is on the line now donald trump is committed to eradicating dei and hiring and educational system where any federal funds are involved. good, it's not a moment too soon. objective measures of skill, excellent and performance that should be our guide not skin color preference and gender. and yes, our lives depend on it.

>> captain good to talk to you tonight let's start with the toronto crash because the ceo of delta was asked about the experience of the pilots on board. this is what he said. >> it was an experienced crew. there is one level of safety at delta, chris, between our main line and regional jets where all these pilots train for these positions, they fly under all kinds of conditions at all the airports in which we operate. so, there is nothing specific with respect to experience. >> laura: captain, what are your thoughts after watching that toronto video? >> thank you for having me on your show tonight. i have a very defined view of everything we are experiencing here. that is everything, -- all the lessons are emanating from the

faa. we can start with the faa. and back to the dei, problem that we have in the country and i 100 percent support president trump in eliminating dei, beginning with the faa, and the law supports not including dei in safety sensitive positions. in fact the federal aviation act of 195 #, titled 601 b states that the federal aviation administrator must perform his duties and powers in a manner as best eliminates or reduces accidents or the recurrence of accidents near transportation. nowhere in the act does it say that the administrator has any authority introduce a threat, which necessarily means that anybody in those positions must

be qualified. so then -- >> laura: just to interrupt for one moment, the delta ceo indicated that there was no issue with the pilots at all, that he knew about. but many people watching -- back to that video, because, remember, we were in toronto. we weren't in the united states for that one. the weather might not be to blame for the crash. watch this. >> that's -- i concur. >> laura: wait, we are going to watch the video. hold on a second. >> yeah. >> laura: we are watching the video now. >> the conditions were challenging but nothing more than professional pilots can't handle. the airplane is designed for it the pilots are trained for it. >> laura: captain, in your experience, should there have been a successful landing in those weather conditions? yes or no? >> it could have been, yes. it could have been a successful landing. i don't see -- the weather was

good. i think they misjudged their height and did not flare in time to make a safe landing. that's my judgment. >> laura: very quickly, in your estimation is, dei right now still endangering the public, the flying public given what we have seen with, again, five crashes in one month? >> yes. and i believe so and i was just going to make that link between the faa and the airlines. the airlines receive a certificate of public convenience and necessity. by design, they must follow the rules and regulations that the faa promulgates. if the faa does not have the authority to deduces a threat. where do the airlines receive that authority? where do they get that authority? like i said like i said eliminating the threat of

accidents or incidents necessarily means that you must be qualified. so where do the airlines get that leeway where they can -- >> laura: they took the leeway. they are fanatics, obviously. they have become fanatics for dei. captain, we appreciate it. thank you very much. now, on another topic, the usual false tropes about trump are circulating again. >> one thing that definitely is a clear is that the united states is now the little buddy of vladimir putin. putin runs trump. >> donald trump acts like he is scared of vladimir putin. >> it's shameful to hear the president repeat putin's propaganda. >> laura: now, does that sound familiar? because they said the same thing about him in 2018 and in 2019, and now the warmongers are back making the same old stupid arguments because they don't want to admit that they took the richest and most powerful country in the world and ran it into the ground. remember, they threw everything they could at russia. they threw sanctions,

$200 billion, aid and weapons to ukraine. lapel pins, remember the congress were wearing them. they told us in the summer of 2023 that that summer offensive was going to run putin out of ukraine. well, of course, that didn't happen. they told us that sanctions would cripple the russian economy and they were also wrong about that. but the angle told you from the beginning that there was no way ukraine would win, sadly, as long as putin was supported by china. and, of course, didn't take a rocket scientist to know that we were right. so it is extremely sad that this has all happened. now, trump has to get the best deal that he can. and that won't happen if he does what biden did and just insults russia and keeps funding failure. the truth is, we're broke, period. we don't have the resources. we don't have the equipment, to keep funding these forever wars. and the american people, they don't want to flush their money down the drain again.

and trump is almost -- at this point is he almost like a guy who comes in and he takes over a bankrupt business. he has to track down where the money went and then he has to try to get the business back on its feet. but thanks to doge, every single government expenditure is now coming under the magnifies glass. every outlay that's our money has to be justified. makes sense, right? so, everyone is looking at cuts, every agency is looking to be cut. every program is going to be scrutinized. and ukraine, it's no different. it's been, what, 200 billion, 250 with? who knows, zelenskyy can't even say for sure how much money they have gotten or where the money went. but i understand the old neocon crowd and some folks at the "wall street journal" are should be angry at the bushes, clinton obama and biden for squandering

our immense wealth and power over decks cadz, it was all predictable. they destroyed our base, they opened our borders to millions of illegals. they expanded the welfare state. systemic racism. and then after all that, they expect the voters to agree to propping up the rest of the world i guess on a permanent basis. now, just as we felt terrible for the vietnamese left behind after the war and for the afghan people, when we pulled out of there, we all feel horrible about the tragedy that is unfolded in ukraine. but this wasn't trump's doing. blaming him is like blaming the bank when you can't pay your bills. joining me now is texas senator ted cruz senator, thanks for joining us tonight. why weren't we able to track the billions and billions of dollars that we sent to ukraine. >> they didn't care about tracking it.

they were shoveling cash out the door. irony joe biden caused this war in the first place, if donald trump had been in the oval office, there would be no war in ukraine. i will tell what the precipitating cause of this war was. is biden waved the sanctions on nord stream 2 the pipeline from russia to germany. that i authored into law. i wrote those sanctions into law. putin was building that pipeline and putin stopped building that pipeline literally the day president trump signed my sanctions legislation into law. that had prevented the war and when biden came in, he waived those sanctions and that led directly to the war in ukraine, biden's weakness got ukraine and got america in this mess. >> laura: well, today, the panoply of voices, the usual forever war crowd saying trump is a poodle of putin. trump is echoing kremlin talking points and your response?

clear going to end this war in the first half of this year. i hope he ends it in a way clear and obvious loss for putin. i think that's good for america. trump has no interest in just pouring billions and billions of dollars into this war forever i got to say whoever is advising zelenskyy is he getting terrible advise he is turning around and running to the consumer mean press and attacking president trump. and you and i know the president very well. it is hard to find a strategy that is more likely to produce the opposite of what zelenskyy wants and what is he doing right now which is just insulting trump. >> laura: donald trump just spoke about ukraine, senator, watch. >> love ukraine but zelenskyy has done a terrible job. his country is shattered and millions and millions of people have unnecessarily died. and you can't bring a war to an end if you don't talk to both sides. you got to talk. they haven't been talking for three years. so we hope to see a cease-fire

soon and to reestablish stability in europe and the middle east. [applause] >> laura: well, he wants america to be in some way repaid for the money that we have blown over there. like $250 billion in the end that's probably how much it will be. it might be through mineral rights. might be through some energy deal where every country participates. would that in your mind be giving too much to vladimir putin? >> look, i think it would make an enormous amount of sense for america to be repaid. ukraine has vast resources. putin has been explicit. he says he considers the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century to be the dissolution of the soviet union. he want to reassemble the soviet union. it's not in america's interest to do it. >> laura: he has an economy the size of france. >> he does. but he has a massive nuclear weapons arsenal. >> laura: why is europe not paying for their own defense. if this is existential threat to

europe why have the american taxpayers been on the hook for 80 years? >> to be clear, we should have prevented this war and i wrote the legislation that killed the nord stream pipeline that president trump signed. >> laura: that's over. now the question is should america still be on the hook for defending europe when your honor is apparently against free speech doesn't believe in the has a massive refugee crisis and doesn't think vladimir putin is enough to pay for own defense. >> there is no doubt. >> laura: that's trump's point. >> europe are also strong allies. i don't think the right lesson to take from this is that we should just run away from europe we can work with them but should would he be carrying the lion's share of the defense burden? >> i agree that the biden administration was happy just to write checks from the american taxpayers and not to have europe carry a heavier load? that was a serious mistake. bigger mistake was causing the war. look, this war was caused by joe biden's weakness since

commander-in-chief. and the biggest difference in the last month in terms of foreign policy is our enemies are terrified of donald trump. that is good in when our enemies is afraid of the president. view him as weak and ineffective agency all unconstitutional. do you think that actually will be an itch that trump will be able to win on? >> i hope so, i think it's great he is asserting the president's authority over independent agencies, it's to tee up a supreme court case to overturn the case both you and i are familiar with humphreys executor that upheld the idea that part of the executive branch could be separate to the president. that's directly contrary to article 2 of the constitution. i'm glad president trump is standing up and reasserting. >> laura: everyone gets continuing legal education credit for what ted just said. thank you very much. thanks for coming in. democrats are losing their grip oned media and reality, next.

(♪♪) >> laura: every day is like christmas morning. and the democrats' melt down continues because they are still apparently tone deaf in what

they want. the new chair of the dms dnc flummoxed when confronted about the overwhelming support americans still have for traditional values. >> mr. chairman, i don't know whether you want to talk about the cultural issues that are in that poll but 63% of americans think that it is right to the government policy should be there just to have two sexes, do you think u.s. government policy should be that there are just two sexes in the country? >> it's not up to me to decide what u.s. policy should be. >> laura: still can't say it. the bigwigs in the democratic party are getting upset according to the "new york times." some of the country's liberal donors have paused giving. frustrated with what they see is democrats' lack of vision and worried about retaliation from a vengeful president. some democrats say a fuel of their reliable donors are now openly supporting mr. trump or at least looking to curry favor. joining us now former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy. we have seen this all before. but how do you see the democrats

comms strategy proceeding? >> it's failing. what did they do? they doubled down. tim walz just lost for vice president. what did they go? went and picked new party chair from the land of tim walz and ilhan omar. and if you look at the latest polling, more people identify as republican than democrat. this is unheard of. trump had not only now won the popular vote. is he now increased the size of the republican party and even the democratic donors now want to join the president. why? because his policies. and everything the president is taking on has more than a 60% approval and the more the democrats fight it, the more they will lose. >> laura: turns out that cutting government waste is actually pretty popular. and the democrats are now in the unenviable position of defending the bloat of this city, which is worse, by the way, i was talking to a cabinet secretary last night. he said it is worse than he ever

imagined. that's a direct quote. >> there are things we have never been able to find. i get so excited when i see what doge is doing this is something that everyone has always talked about. but the bureaucracy is so big that it would stop you, right? there is always a hurdle. >> this is the difference president trump will not stop and elon is brilliant. that combination, when you watch the two of them, the will to get it done and every time they fight and get the answers it only awakens america more to the waste that's going on. every time the democrats defender that waste, they will lose. >> they're already worried by the way about musk going into wisconsin where there is that really important supreme court race that could determine the electoral future of that state. >> it will determine congress. they want to win the supreme court not for the constitutional judgment so they can redraw the lines of congress. this is how they -- and this is what they tried to do in new york last time, remember. this is exactly why they want

the supreme court in wisconsin to we draw the lines so they can win the majority, not fairly but try to mayor pete don't we miss him at dot he thinks he has solution for problems problems on social media. watch. >> a lot of folks aren't looking for political but it's finding them. it's finding them wrapped up in a lot of cultural stuff. you can be on parenting instagram and getting this trad life stuff with politics inflected into it. and i think we have -- we really need to be much smarter about taking this conversation to places where it's not reaching folks. >> laura: because when i think of traditional wives, he just said the trad wife crowd i think of pete buttigieg. you can't make this up. stupidity that you can't make up. >> they haven't learned anything they think this is the solution. this shows he won't listen to the voters. president trump is not only listening to the voters, is he

showing action. every single day. compare that to biden. but, also, there is no leader on the democratic side. that same action. >> laura: do you know what you haven't seen obama? they are hiding out in hawaii. is he like what party is this? like i don't even recognize it anymore. he doesn't want -- is he running for the hills. i don't think he will ever appear again. >> no. there is no leader standing up. and when they talk about it, they don't know where to go. and disarray. president trump keeps going at 60% approval issues. it's only going to grow. >> laura: if at the stays popular midterms and expand. city is next. >> we can win los angeles now. >> laura: we will get to that in a little bit. great to see you, mr. speaker, thank you so much. speaking of the mayor of karen bass has a new excuse about the botched response to the wildfires. we're going to expose her in that, next. ♪

>> with that delivery i see a veep reboot any day now. none of it made sense. >> laura: think about that woman across the table from vladimir putin. negotiating the end of a war or trade deal. with that intellect she could get us the best deal out there, right? she's so talented. embarrassing. >> look at the right side, both kamala harris and joe biden are now -- their shared agency of caa, may be they can broker. she and joe can reunite in their own reality show. something like sok dynasty. it's going to be a hit. kamala is not the only show that may be closing out of town. the hollywood -- has announced they are premiering a new

addition of jesus christ superstar. >> as a black woman who is qu queer, innately immediately it makes a completely different. >> but is that difference what the role of jesus requires? a very talented woman with a great voice. so everybody understands, back in 2018 john legend won and me for a successful tv mounting of jesus christ superstar. you can make this work with nontraditional casting but we are talking about gender bending here. casting a woman in the role of the messiah. i will bet there's a sizable chunk of christians and catholics that will take deep fence at this. jesus historically was a man and the casting of a queer woman in the role, i guess we should await her return in the mohammed musical. holding my breath for that one.

>> laura: that i will absolutely bet would never get made. but, you know, we christians have been through a lot before. i think we will survive this. but it does not surprise me at all. not at all. >> and that's not the only nexus of controversy. mayor karen bass in her first post-fire interview is facing questions about her trip to ghana when the blazes broke out, despite warnings. watch. >> it did not reach that level to me just say something terrible could happen and maybe you should not have gone on a trip. to me -- i don't know, i think that's one of the things we need to look at. two investigations are taking place. one internal to the city and that's the fire commission. also the governor has contracted with the fire safety research institute. >> laura: a research institute. we need to research institute to tell us why she should not have gone to ghana? is that what she said?

>> we could do the investigation right here. karen bass made the decision to go to ghana because the biden administration wanted her to go to the inauguration of the president there. investigation closed. 16,000 homes have been burnt, 57,000 acres, and that pch is still closed. investigation about her trip. we should be for u.s. over that -- furious -- you've seen the come apart over those d.o.g.e. cuts. now jfk -- a new complaint. >> d.o.g.e. in the white house shot down the jfk library. you would never know that we sent a man to the moon if the library was not open. it's time to speak out and resist what's happening. >> laura: why does he talk like this? werenski cap and everyone will think i'm smart or cool. have we not retired the dirty

ski cap look? is that still something? i thought that in a man bond were out. >> apparently in some sectors they are still in but here's the kicker. the library is back open. it was closed for one day because you would never note jfk sentiment to the moon, forget the published books about the kennedys but it turns out five employees were laid off in the library was operational today. [simultaneous talking] >> laura: all the waste, fraud and abuse, little hiccups along the way but a lot of waste. as always, thank you. everyone, make sure to follow me on social media. i do have a hilarious post that we just put up and yes, it involves zoe. the dog will not let me work. speaking of d.o.g.e., this is a dog problem. jesse watters has a great lineup tonight and he takes it all from here. stay tuned. >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters primetime"
