and that's what the faa is trying get to the bottom of now. to be clear, pete, is this an automated system? is there any way that someone could be trolling? and obviously in very poor taste, could somebody intentionally be doing this? it seems unlikely. it could be. maybe just sort of. these are old fashioned radio frequencies. so it could be something bouncing off of something and getting a little bit of interference here and there. this was occurring in a pretty particular spot on the approach, as planes were coming in from the north to the south. international airport, that's called the river visual. you may have been on it before coming in to dca. you see the national mall very clearly. that's the approach that these planes were on. it was a relatively clear weather day, so probably not somebody trying to do something nefarious, maybe just some radio interference here. but of course the faa want to get to the bottom of it, especially because people are so, so vigilant. now after the crash that occurred a little over a month ago. pete munte

the faa says some pilots had to abort their landing, something known as a go around. being at low altitude, like coming in for a landing, can cause problems with this system, and pilots know that it's not perfect down low, but it is uncommon for so many planes to receive false warnings in such a short period of time. jake. >> all right. pete muntean, thanks so much. in our politics lead, former new york governor andrew cuomo is officially trying for a political comeback, launching a bid to become the next mayor of new york city. cuomo, as you'll recall, resigned from the governorship in 2021 amid multiple sexual harassment allegations, which he denied. there were also many questions surrounding his administration's directive to transfer recovering covid 19 patients back to nursing homes. he has repeatedly attempted to defend his administration's actions. now he's framing himself as the leader who can pull new york city back from crisis. his campaign message. more police, fewer, fewer migrants for a city that, in his words, feels out of control. but can cuomo convince

he gave himself an faa contract, and we're hearing from agencies that there's talk about him giving himself. contracts to, quote unquote, modernize these agencies. to me, this looks like a heist. it looks like he is looting the federal government. they're laying off workers, they're dismantling agencies. and far from saving money, they're planning to reallocate that money to give himself private contracts. >> i want to play part of your statement. it was at the end of that subcommittee meeting on wednesday to federal workers and those affected by doj's cuts. here we go. >> we are in the courts. we are in congress. we are in our communities. and we will hold this administration accountable. and we will not abandon our allies or our humanity. so with that, i say to all of you, be strong. we will fight back. >> i now. >> recognize myself for closing remarks. >> i now. >> recognize myself for. >> closing remarks, and threats against the. >> president of the united. >> states. >> will. >> not. >> be. >> tolerated. >> by anyone. is that what that was for? your comments and intended threat? >> wel

not to mention everything that's going on at the faa. all of that and more.sometimes feel like it shifts with the wind. but there are through lines, and some can be found in the warnings about what was to come during the lead up to the election. as anyone who even flipped through project 2025 understood donald trump's plan, we are literally living through those warnings as we speak. and all of the chaos is going to be on full display yet again tomorrow night when the president makes his address to congress. charles coleman is a civil rights attorney and former counsel at the equal opportunity. the equal employment opportunity commission. say that five times. and ali shaheed is a veteran democratic strategist. and they both join me now. did you all know it has only been 42 days? >> not until you. >> just said. yeah. i mean, what do you think the through lines, the chaos. we're kind of talking about it in the break, but i, we've been talking a lot about what donald trump is doing and the people that are affected by what is happening. and it just feels like amer

has the gao recommendation ever included firing faa aircraft safety inspectors who prepare air traffic control facilities? >> no. >> angry. have they ever made any recommendation of firing inspection workers who were tracking the bird flu outbreak or other outbreaks in poultry or cattle? >> i do not believe so, no. >> thank you. have they recommended firing national nuclear administration workers who oversee our nation's nuclear stockpile? >> no. >> what about firing the only locksmith at yosemite national park? have you ever recommended that? >> i'm not sure we have ever run into the locksmith at the park. >> the answer to that is you have not. so i thank you for that because none of these have ever actually aligned with any of the recommendations that have come out of your office yet they are clearly huge priorities for elon musk and his doge team. it is a crusade against the government, against actually helping people across this country and the hypocrisy that we are seeing today, and there are committees that i think it is quite disturbing to house democrats. republican colleagues

was preparing to land in chicago's midway airport when it nearly collided with a private jet that the faa says entered the runway without authorization. southwest plane was forced to quickly pull up, circle around and land again. the incident is under investigation. >>> monica lewinsky, welcome. >> monica lewinsky spoke out about the scandal that changed her life nearly 30 years ago when she and then president bill clinton engaged in an affair. >> i think the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was, you know, nobody's business and to resign. >>> california governor gavin newsom announced he's calling for the state parole board to launch a risk assessment into erik and lyle mendez. the brothers have been behind bars for 35 years for the murder of their parents. we call unreasonable risk to t public safety. >> for years, the brothers have argued they acted in self-defense, alleging years of abuse by their father. >>> the murder conviction will remain in place after baltimore prosecutors withdrew a motion to vacate his conviction. >> we're very confid

doge existing, they are trying to get rid of the department of education, usaid, they are laying off faa workers. going after the fbi. and they are talking about getting rid of fema. i will say that i was shocked that there was only one person who seems like he was an overt trumper as you laid out your opening remarks. i anticipated that one of you would say yes, what elon is doing is that exactly what we would say. instead i will applaud you because you are focused. you talked about what the american people are looking for us to do. on the side of the isle we have consistently promoted the idea of making investments in technology so we can do things such as say look at the department of defense. it takes up approximately 50% of our discretionary income. our discretionary spending. approximately 50% goes to the department of defense. it has not been able to pass an audit in the last six audits. we're not talking about pennies. i understand we want everything to be perfect. let me talk about the big numbers. the big numbers are on that side. when we look at our entire workforce, our feder

concerns with those flights nearly caused the faa to ground all flights. it also put $81 billion worth of private investment by the wireless industry at risk, significantly delayed lead appointment of 5g in the united states. in early 2000 congress had to spend about $1 billion replacing the radar system on the b-2 stealth bomber because of uncoordinated changes to spectrum allocations. this is exactly what i am talking about when we say we need to work together. we cannot continue to have this play out in a way where we are not thinking about our military capabilities. in ukraine we are seeing how central spectrum is every day. the russians are jamming ukraine drones, communications, satellites. this shows that our military is to be nobler and more flexible if we are going to succeed in our operations that kind of congestion environment -- and that kind of spectrum environment. today our warfare does depend on spectrum enable communications. as one brigadier general said, " spectrum is no longer just an enabler of the warfare, it is the warfare." today's

the story i mentioned at the very top of the show about the reporting, how the faa is going to cancel a contract with verizon in exchange for elon musk's starlink. that is, again, the washington post. actually, speaking of elon musk, let's read from your new piece that you wrote for the atlantic. you wrote this quote over the first month of trump's new term. patterns have nonetheless emerged as a small crew of musk's young technologists work their way through the federal workforce. this new unit has trained its initial attention on the key punchers who make the government work, executing musk's belief that by controlling the computers, one could control the entire federal bureaucracy. instead of taking command of the existing workforce, trump's new team has pressured them to disperse, firing those who were probationary, offering buyouts to others and subjecting many others to 15 minute interviews in what many felt were juvenile tests of their worth. the full impact of the blitz will not be known for months, when the courts and congress decide whether to push back, if at all, but the s
