now we have scott brenner. do we have scott brenner here a former senior faa official.will try to get our other guest back in just a minute. scott, to you now. on what we are hearing tonight reported from the dallas morning news that there were warnings from pilots, anonymously pilots were going into the data base and reporting problems and insufficiencies. >> right. so, yeah. i mean, that system that you talk, about that's a great system and that's the reason why the u.s. has one of the safest aviation systems out there. however, they are right, boeing should have put more information in the manual about the system that triggers the nose down and some of the things that we are seeing today. >> sandra: why wouldn't boeing being saying that today? >> let me point out though, as soon as you start training on the 737 the aircraft that we are talking about, you get a couple of scenarios, one of the main scenarios is the one they call trim run away where you basically lose control of the back of the aircraft. and they are trained on that and that is like one of their primary

scott brenner, thank you.cism over a proposal that would eliminate funding for the special olympics. plus stacey abrams talking about being number two, not number one. >> i'm having coffee and tea with everyone running for president, who ever is willing to talk to me. sun care is self care. i used to not love wearing an spf just because i felt like it was so oily and greasy and that it was going to clog my pores. but what i love about olay regenerist whip with spf 25 is that it's lightweight, it's barely there. and then i can put makeup on over it if i want or if i'm not working, you know, just roll. it's perfect for me. i'm busy philipps, and i'm fearless to face anything. by using the powerful va home loan benefitcash we've earned with our service. the newday va cash out loan can help you get over 50,000 dollars to pay off the credit card debt, put cash in the bank, and reduce your payments by over 500 dollars a month. and since newday's been granted automatic authority by the va, they can say yes when banks

scott brenner, former associate administrator at the f.a.a.the agency doesn't have resources to certify aircraft without manufacturer. >> boeing is approving the work. >> boeing outguns the f.a.a. they have far more expertise and the f.a.a. has become pretty much a toothless tiger. >> trevor: towrnts that because the f.a.a. lacks funding, they can't afford to hire people skilled enough to certify the planes, so they just have to trust the plane manufacturers will regulate themselves, which is a pretty sweet deal for the plane manufacturers. i wish i could have done it in my life. i wish i could have graded my own homework at school. i would have sat there, like, none of this is right. a minus. yeah, don't want to be greedy. a minus, that sounds right. that's not how oversight works. right? you've got to have someone else looking over you. imagine if god let us decide whether or not to smite ourselves. yeah, we would never do it. we would probably be just like, well, i did cover gary's wife, but in my defense, gary's wife got that ass. god will

and joining me now from malta is richard brenner he's with mission lifeline that's a european in providing civil rescue operations for refugees in the mediterranean its ship was grounded by authorities about nine months ago it's good to have you on the program richard tell me do we know just based on what you've learned in your experience what is going to happen to these migrants these refugees who are on board that tanker. hello what i've seen is quite a similar situation like we had in the head last year when we came into the harbor there were a lot of cars from the detentions and bringing taking to. board that it is quite a big that's happening there are a lot of policemen standing on the morning station and. five presents the broken hand counts as well. it's quite the normal situation that happened here they were approached into a detention center. what brought identification as well and this is what you saw here at the moment today richard what are you hearing about what actually happened on board this tanker and we've got reports telling us that people panicked when they heard that t

assistant administrator scott brenner says the f.a.a.oes not ceve the resources to certify aircraft without the help of the manufacturer. but on some level the f.a.a. is .aking boeing's word for a lot of this. t they are taking boeing's word, but boeing is also presenting data to prove their word. >> reporter: this certification process has been used for decades and f.a.a. points to an unparalleled period of aviation safety since 2009. aso at issue is the amount of time pilots spent initially 37aining on the 737 max. after test driving the max in 0ate 2017, brazilian regulators asked for additional training while the f.a.a. and boeing settled on just 56 minutes of ng sne training. g.e f.a.a. expects to be able to certify boeing's software update ne the 737 max by next monday. it's unclear if that will be enough to lift the order grounding the airplanes. jeff? s. glor: kris van cleave with some big questions for boeing tonight. kris, thank you. n are getting new information on a deadly shooting on a tram in the netherlands-- a possible ib

so we have reverend brown, reverend townssend, reverend birch, reverend brenner, franc francisco-decosta, shirley robinson, evelyn and jerry nickson. if you heard your name, please make your name to the podium and you'll have two minutes. >> i'm a little bit under the weather. the issue is important. and as the stewart and some of the people in the audience, this is international women's day and all my life, i am 73 years old and i have fought for women's rights. but this board should be ashamed that a black woman with 25 years of experience, a principal, without cause is being terminated and the way this issue is discussed, she's not fired, just terminated. we should be ashamed of ourselves. you don't need to read anything. each one of us has a conscience. i am very well known in the city and i represent the first people, mark maloney. i've been the director of environmental justice for 45 years and i served three generals. some of them were cowards, they would gang up on a black woman who is just mourning from the death of her mother. and we went to the naacp and we went to some of the

former faa squirrel scott brenner was among those early on that the faa should not have grounded then it did. >> hi, neil. neil: what do you think with the software fix, boeing is trying to say whatever issues might have been involved here are not an issue now. do you agree with that? >> you know, i think the fix was, obviously will be helpful for pilots but you know, i always come back to the fact that with more automation, aviation becomes safer and if you look at the record over the last 10 years where we had close to 100 million flights, we had one fatality, that is a pretty strong record to stand on. so when we have congress, when we have inspector generals, when we have the fbi getting involved in a system that worked pretty well, it worries me that we'll create something that is going to change how things work. neil: do you think this process has to be reexamined, scott? many are saying boeing was really spearheading this, pushing this. what do you think? >> i don't think it ever hurts to kind of reexamine how we do things. yes it has worked well. but you always have that pers

. >>> let's bring in scott brenner at the faa for some added perspective. how unusual is this?he d.o.t. and the doj having a grand jury issue subpoenas, looking into the development of the plane with the faa have you seen this >> it does happen, usually after a crash or major incident to get folks from outside the agency looking at the practices of the faa and working with manufacturers. it is a unique system where we do have a lot of self-certification done by manufacturers. we see that in the auto industry we see that in the rail. we see that with aviation. and a lot of times folks say, aren't we getting -- aren't the regulators getting too close with the manufacturers but when it comes to aviation, it's clearly a system that's worked where over the past ten years commercial aviation flown approximately 100348 flights and 1 fatality the faa's doing something right and we have some questions to have answered. >> when you were at the faa did boeing have undue pressure in what you and your colleagues were doing >> no. i don't think so i think where the faa gets into trouble is w

of thehe director washington office of the brenner center, and he has served in senior roles in the obama administration. he focused on issues at the intersection of national security of civil liberties. spencer will get us started by sharing the brennan center's recent research on emergency powers. so, spencer? [applause] spencer: thank you so much, caroline, for that introduction. on behalf of the brennan center for justice at new york university's school of law, thank you for including me on this timely discussion on presidential emergency powers. of you know, while the got many people talking about this topic over the winter, this piece followed two years of intensive research on the topic by the center. in december, we published the results of that research, which you can find on our website, along with recommendations. a daylong, we hosted symposium along with the institute on various aspects of emergency power. the goal was to help start a conversation about whether the legal framework for emergency powers in the u.s. strikes a balance between given the president authorities on one

. >> reporter: former faa assistant administrator scott brenner says grounding them without a reason sets a dangerous precedent. >> the faa saying we have a system in place so let's not start changing it because we have some public pressure going against us. >> reporter: cbs news travel editor peter greenberg says it's a difficult balance. >> the faa has always had a conduct. when they were establish bid an act of congress they were supposed to make an enforced safety policy and promote the bills of aviation. they can't do both. >> reporter: in a call yesterday with president trump, boeing's ceo told the president he was confident in the 737 max's safety. we are aware of at least five complaints through an anonymous database administered by nasa where pilots can report issues. two of them talk about a situation where the plane's autopilot on the max pushed the nose of the plane down. now, that is a different system than mcas which is the system being looked at for malfunction in the lion air crash. it's also unclear if what happened on those two flights % was pilot error or an issue

welcome my guest for today, head of international fixed income, national alliance securities andy brenner know, if you look up at treasury yield, they are down what, about 65 basis points from their high yield close around 3.25 here we sit. that's about what, 20% off the highs. i like at the dow, 25,6 so 25 handle the high is 2600 that's roughly 4 has, so we're 4% from the highs on the dow and 20% off from the high yields on the sos. how do we reconcile those two? >> rick, you're got a lot of cross-currents going a lot has to do with central banks. some has to do with the theory of the mmt some has to do with the japanification of europe there's -- in central banks. it doesn't look like we'll ever be done with them. probably will be ten years between the time the european central bank raise rates to when they raise them again so you've got a lot of conflicting signals right now. meanwhile 10 crier treasuries still hover around 2.60 and 2.62. >> remember, a year ago when many investors were definitely complaining, pulling out their eyelashes, oh, my god, rates are going to kill stocks trul

let's get the read on all of this from scott brenner. scott you are in the camp that there was no reason to ground all. why? >> because i don't think we have the data to prove that. i mean, the faa has a long history of saying before we make any major decisions we need a ton of data to support that and we have two crashes, and the more that we learn about them, the more dissimilar they are, the first one it appears to be a maintenance issue, where they had a bad sensor and they didn't replace it correctly. the second one, we're not really sure what happened. we're not even sure who was actually flying that aircraft. you had the one pilot who had the 8,000 hours, and then you had another pilot who had around 250 hours, so we're not really sure who was flying that aircraft and the ethiopians have been less than transparent during this whole process. neil: you know, one of the arguments for shutting down the fleet for the time being was out of abundance of caution and you've heard that. what do you make of that argument that if there was do
