3:00 pm
therhood, has really trying to understand the generation that we're building devices for. here in the comcast family, we're building an integrated in-home wifi solution for millions of families like my own. in the average household, there are dozens of connected devices. connectivity is a big part of my boys' lives. it brings people together in meaningful ways. our care, not the cost. choose spot customizable pet plans you both will love. >> thank you so much for letting us into your homes on this holiday monday. we are grateful the beat with ari melber starts right now. hi ari, happy monday. >> happy monday, happy holidays. thanks, nicole. welcome to the beat, everyone. i'm ari melber, joining you on this president's day. and our live coverage will actually cover quite a bit. it is a holiday for many, including the federal workforce. >> but we are. >> seeing nationwide. protests
3:01 pm
today against president trump. against his governing plans in multiple cities, and. >> also in. >> a sign of how fast things are moving, protests that. call out a. >> single billionaire. >> in a way we. >> haven't seen in terms. of concern about the ruling. >> elite or the business class. >> or whatever. >> you want. >> to call it. we haven't seen that. >> a. >> lot. >> not since. >> occupy wall. >> street, certainly not. >> in. >> the last several years. but some of the signs and some of. >> the locations we're. >> tracking show. >> people concerned. you can. >> see. >> in the upper right we didn't elect musk. >> we're going to get into all of this. >> and what could. be the signs of a resurgence with democratic strategist james carville? >> so that's. >> happening right now. >> we're going to get to that while we. >> begin with the crash landing. >> there in. >> toronto. >> canada, where a delta airlines plane. >> basically crashed and. >> turned flipping upside down on. >> the runway. >> we know the. >> flight came. >> from minneapolis and around 2:45 p.m.
3:02 pm
>> eastern. >> you got what the airport says was a time where all. >> passengers and crews have been accounted for. >> there have. >> been over a dozen injuries. >> passengers were seen exiting the footage. >> 80 total. >> people were on board and we have no reported deaths. but the scene. >> is drawing attention for. >> the images. >> like this. this is. >> we've shown you several here. i was going to tell. >> you this one, courtesy of. >> john nelson, is one of the most harrowing. >> you can see. >> people getting. >> out to safety. >> and then. >> trying to control the situation and make. >> sure there's no. further fire. >> or other danger, but the plane. >> completely upside down. and that's. >> how people were. >> were forced to exit. the faa also says that the transportation safety board of. >> canada will be investigating. >> this crash. >> and their. >> ongoing safety. >> concerns, given some recent. >> incidents that people know. >> about the midair collision in washington. >> that. >> was about three weeks. >> ago and was. far more deadly, killing 67. also, a plane crash in. philadelphia earlier this month where. >> seven people died. >> now.
3:03 pm
>> aviation experts will always tell you that. >> there are so many more flights. >> every day all. >> around the world. that take off and land. >> safely. >> and that you can't draw too much from any individual data. >> and yet. >> we also live in a. world of real people who have to decide whether they want to fly or not, and the. >> level of concern. >> and risk people want. >> to take. >> and this comes against, in the united states, a lot of scrutiny on how the trump administration has been going after the safety of airplanes and the federal aviation administration. not saying there's some causal link, but rather people asking whether, given the threats and the risk out there. >> is this the time to be cutting. >> back on federal aviation experts, staff, the people with experience? elon musk, meanwhile, sent a team from his spacex rocket company. >> to visit. >> the faa headquarters. musk. >> reviewing the agency. >> that he's supposed to be on equal bargaining terms with. and there's an allegation spacex violated safety rules. >> in the past. >> so, again, a lot of scrutiny
3:04 pm
on how safety works and what the priorities are and whether you cut corners to make money or not, because there have been these mass layoffs under the trump administration at the faa. and one of the unions there says this will only increase workload at a time where employees are further stretched thin. again, we don't have evidence and the news is not indicating any direct causal link here, but rather a larger question of whether this is the time to cut back on aviation safety. and is this being done in a competent, thought out manner? those are the first sort of primary safety concerns. the second order concerns are whether elon musk, who doesn't run the faa, hasn't been put on the cabinet, whether he should have this much authority. the courts, as you know from following the news, are tackling some of those related cases. the trump administration also fired workers just last week at the national nuclear security administration, not a place where you usually see rapid cutbacks. they oversee the united states stockpile of nuclear warheads, which number in the thousands. so there were these swift cutbacks, but in a
3:05 pm
sign that even the trump administration thinks that was a bad idea, within a day, they tried to take it back, seeking to rehire some of the workers they fired the day prior, struggling to find them because they didn't even have their new contact information. not exactly a portrait of competence. politico reporting a chaotic set of mass firings. over 3000 people at health agencies, which was so unorganized, even some trump political appointees were unaware which of their own employees were being fired or why. today, there are also reports that musk's team is trying to get access to your most sensitive personal data that the government holds your taxpayer information, which, as everybody knows, can be sort of a blueprint to a lot of parts of your life, public or private. the irs is alarmed. it includes detailed financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country. this is tightly guarded stuff, and it's being seized or attempted to be seized by
3:06 pm
someone who won't even release his financial disclosures. elon musk like the other cabinet officials, there's also efforts to install another musk aide there. trump and musk and what they're doing, this agenda, which isn't exactly just focused on lowering the price of eggs, is the context for today's presidents day protest. many of these signs show that people are informed they are engaged. they're not just talking about the idea or the brand of trump and musk, but the recent mass firings, the gutting of federal workforce, things that, quite frankly, are quite distant from some of what trump campaigned on, particularly in those closing months. you can see washington large crowds just across from the us capitol. you can see here this is what the new protest movement is starting to look like. and this is one feature amidst other places. new york city protesters downtown in union square. again, a sign that people are expressing themselves with their time, precious time off. if they have the holiday free time, they might have
3:07 pm
gotten a lunch break. depends on the person, but this is one of the ways that you see civic engagement separate from an election, which was, by the way, decided by a point and a half. it's also in other places, like michigan, a smaller town of saint joseph, where we saw people gathering again, smaller crowds for a smaller area, but gathering even amidst the cold, showing their signs to passersby, drivers. et cetera. and then in warmer environs, miami, san francisco. we're also seeing this across the country today. albany, portland and americans are getting by in a range of ways. none of this says you're going to redo past debates. people understand the election was recent and what it resulted in. others trying to wake people up with humor or culture. one protester in boston with a sign there eating the checks. they're eating the balances. or do your preferred trump version of that infamous debate line. i want to show you.
3:08 pm
so we listen to what's happening out in our country. more of what we heard today. >> voting for elon musk. no one voted for elon musk. >> i'm concerned about. >> so many things. >> that are going on. that musk and trump are doing to our country. >> what our. >> founding fathers had. >> a statement that. i love. >> eternal vigilance. >> is the cost. >> of freedom. >> i'm here to. >> stand up for other people. >> they're going to go off to. >> medicare. >> you know, social security is like it's just ridiculous that. these things are going unchecked. >> you seem. >> really worried. >> yeah, i'm really worried. >> this is what's happening now. this is america today. campaigns are about what happens before the election. civics is about what happens after the election or the government, the people elected. it's what they do for
3:09 pm
the rest of us, and that is most of us. it's what we do. and i've told you before, it is fine to take a break from the news or the political debates. it is fine to pull back and reenter and figure out at what level that makes sense for you. indeed, this is a program where we don't tell people whether to vote this way or that, or to march today or not. but we will tell you what's happening. we will tell you what other folks are doing around the country. we are witnessing part of this civic awakening in multiple places, including the direct concern about president trump and unelected non cabinet member elon musk as they prepare for a joint interview, which is unusual. the president, sitting with another advisor, kind of putting musk at a presidential level. that's happening this week as they face this pushback in the streets all the way to the courts. what does this resurgence mean? and how should people who care about the country respond and engage with their fellow citizens? i told
3:10 pm
you, i won't tell you what to do, but we're going to be joined by james carville, who often tells people what he thinks is best for them, for the country and for politics. james, we'll and for politics. james, we'll get your views in 90s. upset stomach iberogast indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast. my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture. now i have skyrizi. ♪ i've got places to go and i'm feeling free. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me.♪ and now i'm back in the picture. feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements. skyrizi helped visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. and with skyrizi, many were in remission at 12 weeks, at 1 year, and even at 3 years.

3:12 pm
>> pretty good indication of where we are. >> pretty pretty comprehensive, i think. >> yeah. >> look, i always appreciate you fact checking a greeting. the word happy depends on the person. that's debatable. the words president's day are are true. so with that in mind, i want your views. i want to put up again what i just showed the people watching the news. this is the news day. it's all over the country. it's been put together by grassroots organizers. it's very now. it doesn't feel like the 2017 version or the campaign of last year. it's addressing a lot of concerns about the current agenda, including we're seeing signs and protesters saying, james, this is not even what people voted for, even if they are anti-trump voters. they're calling out a lot of things that they say exceed the president's authority or are dangerous or are gutting of the federal government. what's happening here? what do you see? >> what i see is something organic coming up from around the country. i don't think that there was a lot of organization.
3:13 pm
if you remember, in 2017, you had like a million women on the mall. this is happening all. >> around the country. >> so the question is, how should democratic politicians respond to this? and what i think they should do is what we call in rural america play possum. just let it go. don't get in the way of it. or as we like to say, don't just stand there, do nothing. let it. let this germinate. we don't need to be. we don't need to get in front of it. this. this freight train is moving. let's just get out of the way. and then we're going to have time. in the immortal words of dalton in roadhouse, be nice until it's time not to be nice. and that time is coming shortly. >> that makes sense. let's listen to some more of the folks, as you say, who are out there doing this organically. here's some of what we heard.
3:14 pm
>> i'm worried. >> about the. >> power that elon. >> musk has been. >> given without. >> any kind of election. >> i think. >> the person who currently occupies the white house has no business being there and is. making a chaotic mess of our country. >> elon musk was not elected. he was around in the final weeks of the campaign, but they certainly did not admit, or maybe they didn't know that he would be a super almost co-president. is that becoming a potential vulnerability for the trump white house? >> yeah, i think. >> the slogan for 2026 is going to be a government of, by and for billionaires. is that really what you voted for? but these people are saying that these two women are way more articulate and way more influential than you. and i are saying it because we would be expected to say this. but when this is coming up, get out of the way. let it, let it go. this is a whole
3:15 pm
thing. and it was and it kind of happened. everybody was like downbeat, depressed. it just happened quickly. and i think i'm almost positive it's going to continue to happen. and i think that the nucleus story nuclear safety. airline safety i don't know about. and i think most people like me, they have a visceral fear of being on an airplane and having an incompetent faa. they have a visceral fear of all of the nuclear weapons that we have stored, not being properly supervised. and just just wait till the food safety. you know that that happens and botulism breaks out and god knows whatnot is coming as a result of this. i'm certainly not hoping for that, but i wouldn't be surprised if anything happened with these clowns. >> no, you you know anyone who cares about society? each other. the country hopes against it. in a way, you hope that that these
3:16 pm
incompetent efforts to gut the government as if it has no role to play. you hope that they don't lead to the worst. and yet, anyone who's been around and i've been around, as you know, i worked in government briefly. i worked in law. i've, as a journalist covered this stuff. so i've been around a little. and if i've been around a little, james, you've been around more than a little. okay, so you watch these stories play out and you watch them with a type of knowing concern, reaching up to informed fear. because if you fire all the people who know how to do nuclear safety, and you trash all the people who work at the health agencies, and you go over the faa and you demoralize d-list de-platform and sometimes fire people amidst everything we just reported, then yes, you are raising the probabilities, as we've known from watching this for decades, of the government folks not being there to protect
3:17 pm
you, to say nothing of financial and complex areas like the markets where we it wasn't that long ago a lot of people were hurt by that financial crash, which was partly a problem where there wasn't regulation and knowing informed, empowered policing under eight years of bush sec and everything else of systemic risk to the market. and so, yes, we're not wishing for any of it, but but how does that fit into the politics of this? when you look at these protests and the people, many of the people out there seem to know this and be concerned. >> well. i think people it's getting people's attention. i think nuclear gets people's attention. i think airplane crashes gets people's attention. look at your hometown. one of my favorite places in the world, new york city. we've had four deputy mayors resign. we've had four people, many of them dedicated conservatives, resigned from the southern district of new york. i'm sorry. the governor of new york is a dolt. why? she doesn't get that guy out of there pronto. i have no idea. i'm sorry, but all of
3:18 pm
the evidence. >> you're. >> saying, the fact. >> you're saying the governor, you're saying. >> governor. >> hochul about. >> yeah. >> mayor adams. >> that that she's leaving that guy who has the power to remove well, from all appearances is a major criminal. the people in his office, the people, the federal prosecutors, not these are not political people. this woman was a clerk for justice roberts or something like that, right? this is all collapsing right in front of you. and it's collapsing in the most significant city in the world. i mean, it's coming. it's coming to you right now. we're not projecting. oh, it's going to happen. you just wait and see. we're right. it's all falling apart right in front of us, right in front of us. and then what really gets to me? you have these people who try to position themselves. i'll give you a good example, my dear friend. and is a good friend of mine, bill maher. oh, well, maybe they got something. do you really think
3:19 pm
that these people are after waste, fraud and abuse? no. they're incompetent. they're totally incompetent in anybody that has anything to do with that is going to live to regret it. i see these professional centrists on tv. well, we got to acknowledge, know that everybody that touches this is going to live to regret it. everybody that defends this is going to live to regret it. >> and you're saying because you're saying the stakes matter. reality is on the line. we're talking about, as you said, nuclear safety faa and you're mentioning bill maher as someone who what you're saying you think that he is being too solicitous of the of the trump argument? go ahead. >> well, i think what bill is trying to do is like and i agree with him, i think he was very courageous on identity politics. i've been on his show a number of times. i really consider him a friend. but he's like, well, you know, you got to admit, musk and them that they're trying to, you know, curb waste, fraud and abuse. there's $500 billion of
3:20 pm
waste. all right. so you you sound reasonable. that's not what this is about. you think the waste, fraud and abuse is in managing nuclear stockpiles? you think the waste, fraud and abuse is lining up people to land at lga or or msi or or d no, that's not that's what they're going after. that's why you're going to regret this. you think the mayor of new york and somebody said, well, he might switch to being a republican. well, greg, can i hold your coat? for god's sakes, get the hell out. we don't want you. we don't want you. and, you know, sometimes you got to say that. and look at the people, the people in romania, blagojevich. i mean, every major criminal you can think of is, is there there's no secret. there's no on the other hand, there's no middle ground here that not at all that nothing. but again, i, i repeat, just don't just stand there, do
3:21 pm
nothing. just let it keep going. it's going in a very, very. good direction. >> yeah. you're talking about and that's, you're talking about what the, what the democratic leaders should do because there is such a thing as, as bottom up grassroots movements. and when it does happen, you want to respect that. i get your point there. i got your point on on mr. maher. you guys have been around each other. i know, i know, you've been on his program. so it's interesting to hear you say that because again, the fig leaf i mean, elon musk doesn't need people's personal taxpayer information, which he may not, by the way, have legal rights to, to root out waste, fraud and abuse. there's way too many things they're doing that don't even fit under that defense, which is why i think it's important for us to take it all. in fact, check it before i let you out of here, james, on this big, big president's day, i want to talk. last question. i want to talk cookie monster with you. okay? >> okay. >> you you remember him? >> okay? yeah. >> can't forget him. yeah. the new yorker has. the new yorker
3:22 pm
has this cartoon talking about making it clear to people where we have this is brand new from the new yorker. quote. let me assure you, as an unpaid special factory employee, mr. monster, that's mr. cookie monster stands to personally gain nothing from this work. the new yorker finds the musk defenses as laughable as sending the cookie monster into the factory. i just wanted your take on that. >> well, it's kind of worse than that. it puts some little 23 year old snot noses going through the treasury department. you know, getting people's tax information and everything while we have planes crashing nuclear weapons. we have putin running wild. i mean, it's not just if it wasn't so tragic, it would be laughable. but what really gets to me is intelligent people who know better, giving this some credence and saying, well, maybe
3:23 pm
they have a point. i mean, that's insane. and we can't act like this is normal. i remember right after the election on another one of my on this network, one of my favorite shows, morning joe, you had people on that said, oh no, it's not going to be too bad. we're just overreacting to this. no one is overreacting. we're living in real time, in a catastrophe. and what we have to do is figure the smartest and quickest way out of that. and i think the smartest and quickest way out of it is just let it let it go. and way sooner than you think it's going to come in just one more event. you know, i'm a big believer in elections. think about the virginia governor's race in november. think about the turnout among federal employees. what percent of the voters in northern virginia are federal employees or families of federal employees? do you think they're going to vote? i think they're going to vote. i think i know which way they're going to vote and they're going to vote
3:24 pm
heavily. so i have i'm in despair. but boy, would you showed me today pump me up more than anything in the world. and we just got to let the let, let this go and get the hell out of the way because it's coming. >> wow. >> well, i'm glad we called you on president's day, james carville. thank you, sir. good to see you. >> well, thank you, ari. thank you. and, you know, you got to say it. we got to say it loud because it's dangerous times. thank you, i appreciate it. yes, sir. >> always great to hear from james carville. we have more coming up. the supreme court is being called in appeals to deal with what's happening with these clashes over what trump and musk can do on firings. what are the limits? and we're also following, of course, that plane crash overturning in toronto, keeping an eye on any of the latest information out of that latest information out of that pretty scary incident. over half a million people with afib have left blood thinners behind. with watchman. a safe, one-time implant that reduces stroke risk and bleeding worry.

3:28 pm
3:29 pm
past what we call the line and found himself, according to judges, breaking the constitution or the law. now, not all of that is criminal. i've told you before, a lot of times when presidents overstep, it's not that they committed some crime, but rather they are basically daring the courts to stop them. and if you do it too much, you look weak, feckless. you draw attention to your lack of power. and we've seen trump try some of that in the first term. people remember with the travel ban and it was suddenly stopped. but we're seeing more of that this term. and i've told you we're going to see the strategy sooner or later because it's all happening. well, now we can see the strategy is purposeful. break all these rules, ask the supreme court for help and see what else he can get away with. so trump has ousted all kinds of government workers, some of them without following the rules that are required, for example, of inspectors general, the watchdogs, others just sort of cajoling people to leave, like what musk was saying with that email we reported on. but here's what's new. trump, in
3:30 pm
consultation with his lawyers, is taking one of these so far troubled losing fights to the supreme court because a federal judge dealt trump a blow, a loss, and basically said that one of those fired watch dogs wasn't actually fired or had to be at least reinstated temporarily. this is not the biggest issue in the whole federal government. but we've told you there are recourses in the courts, and that official had sued the administration, basically saying that while there were ways to remove them, it was done in violation of the rules and the law providing a reason. and notice, trump's folks just don't like it. they say that they lost in the lower court, and that limits trump's ability to manage people. so they also say, quote, the president has unrestricted removal authority over principal officers. and that is true when it comes to big, important staff in the executive branch. the president usually has that
3:31 pm
authority. so they are asking the supreme court to come in. and that is from a place, remember, of losing or legal weakness if you follow the law or exercising your authority without controversy, you don't need the supreme court to come bail you out. and it also gives us a lens and understanding of what else is happening, because it's not by happenstance, and it's not just a pr strategy to flood the zone. they are pushing the line in all these different areas. when they lose, they're asking the supreme court for help, and they're hoping that over time, the supreme court will not just side with them, but will perhaps change the law, give the president even more authority than he currently has. it's a strategy, but it's also a strategy that, in its essence, acknowledges the courts are in charge, not the president, over the final say and that they need help because they're not winning on their own. meanwhile, we're seeing many states use their powers to sue trump ally elon musk over all of his efforts.
3:32 pm
and they're asking a dc judge to block some of his efforts that she might have jurisdiction over. the judge was the same one who oversaw some of the attempt to hold trump on trial as a criminal defendant for the january 6th coup, and so far, she found that states actually lacked the evidence to go forward. although there was a troubling secrecy in musk's actions. now, one of the people suing one of these state attorneys general for speaking out. >> the constitution says if you're going to wield that kind of power as a federal official, you've got to be properly vetted and go through a confirmation process with the united states senate. he's done none of that. he's got access to financial data, personal information. it's dangerous. >> so if you dive into the details, if you listen closely, and if you put aside some of the
3:33 pm
rhetoric, like vice president vance saying maybe they won't follow the courts, those are just words. we can report on them. we can fact check them. but that's over here. when you look at what's actually happening in court, the trump administration is going to the supreme court for the same reason that every other president has that, however radical the agenda may be, they know and acknowledge that the supreme court has the final say on that score. they're not yet lawless. and on a lot of these other cases, they are deliberately overstepping to see who steps up and, and says something or takes them to court or stops them. and so that in the legal path is in concert with what else we reported on today. out in the country, a lot of people stepping up with their civic action to try to stop what they see as a radical agenda. there's action, but there's also reaction. i wanted to give you that update, which connects with that update, which connects with a lot of what we've been at harbor freight, we design and test our own tools

3:45 pm
us by phone. what do you see, captain, here? >> very unusual circumstance. >> very rarely do you see an airliner upside down. >> winds were very gusty. the right wing is not attached to the airplane. that's one of the things that the investigators. >> are going. >> to. look at. so as you would expect at this point, there's more. >> questions than answers. >> yeah. and let me see if we can get the footage we had earlier. it's hard to tell here from a distance. if you're just coming across this image for the first time. but i think we'll get up the early footage. yeah, this is brief, but what's going on here? also in the safety measures they're trying to they made a determination obviously to just get the people out this way right. >> absolutely. this actually says that the evacuation. went very well. they have the doors open. they've got people getting out. i've seen video that was taken from the inside the aircraft. the flight attendants are moving people quickly. people are getting out through the door assisting other
3:46 pm
passengers. so the evacuation portion went pretty well. it says the airplane is a strong airplane that was certified to very high evacuation standards. and those standards and that meticulous or that that strength in the airplane paid off today for all the occupants in that airplane. >> very interesting. because again, what the. i can fool you. it looks scary. might actually be, as you remind us, the best safety measure under the circumstances. ali velshi, tell us about your views on the same point and your reporting today. >> well, first of all, it's amazing to see an upside down plane in which, you know, we're waiting for an update from canadian officials any minute now. and i'm hoping that the news stays the same. as of now, we know that about 18 people have been injured, a couple of them critically, including one one infant. but that's amazing to see an upside down plane with that many people walking off of it, which should remind everybody. by the way, keep your seatbelt on until the plane has
3:47 pm
stopped. kudos to the flight crew as well. but here's what happens at the crj 900. it's currently owned by. they're made by mitsubishi now, but it used to be made by bombardier, a canadian company. that's a canadian built plane. it is built very, very well, but when it lands, it lands at about 150 miles an hour. so we're trying to figure out what happened there. there were high winds at the airport and there were gusts. canada has had two back to back storms, so there's more than sort of 2 or 3ft of snow piled up around the city. but when you're at an airport, you got to keep on plowing those those runways. you run out of space to put the snow. so you end up, you see, you can see there, you end up with snow banking on the side. so we're not clear about what happened when the plane landed. did it skid, did it skid over and did a wing touch snow on the side? did it did it flip upside down? but the bottom line is they got a whole lot of people out of that plane fairly safely. and the airport is operational again. it was down for a few hours and they're back up because it's a major, major airport. that's
3:48 pm
toronto's main airport. a few people were medivaced by helicopter to the major trauma centers. toronto is a big hospital center, so they got a few people out by helicopter, a few people out by ambulance. and it does seem like some of the more minor injuries may actually have to do with how cold it actually is, because people got out and were out there in the cold. but you did also see fire trucks in that initial image you showed pouring water over it. the fuel is held in the wings. we're not quite sure what happened to the wings on this airplane, but when a plane does land and doesn't blow up or doesn't end up in flames, the primary thing is to make sure it does not catch fire so that people who have survived can get out. that also seemed to work, so the emergency procedures worked. the question is, did the weather? did the snow pile up? was blowing snow or wind gusts responsible for any of what happened? the commentary that we've been hearing from air traffic control, from people who monitor air traffic control, say that the wind gusting was a major factor in the airport's activities all day. very tricky.
3:49 pm
when you get very close to the ground, it doesn't matter what the wind forecast is. wind behaves differently depending on where you are and what your aircraft is, and how heavy it is and how fast it's going. so we want to find out what happened. the good news is the pilots are alive. we're going to get information. it was daytime. there's video of it. so we're going to see and learn what happened and the news. i you know, i tell everybody because it's the third commercial airliner accident we've had in three weeks. the these they're different and they're all they're all going to be investigated. and the same kind of accident doesn't typically happen twice. so they're going to find out what happened in toronto. and people are already, you know, getting ready to get on the next flight. but it is getting a little spooky every time you turn on and you find out an airplane crashed. it makes people wonder. airplane flying in america continues to be one of the safest modes of transportation. but apparently, ari, what we're learning is there's always more for us to learn about how to avoid accidents. >> really striking. and a great breakdown and reminder of some
