here's ceo gary kelly talking about that yesterday >> there are only a handful of incidents like thisve happened so once again, we don't know the cause of this incident and it's premature to even link it to other engine failures that have occurred. so it's just premature to say what course of action we might take >> again, southwest has decided it will accelerate its engine inspection program the victim in this case -- by the way, this is the first on-board fatality accident for southwest airlines the victim, 4 3-year-old jennifer riordan was pulled towards the window once the cabin was depressurized. southwest believes the inspection program should be done within the next 30 days as they bring these planes in and are checked as quickly as possible the engine is made by gm -- or ge, along with its french counterpart saffrin. the cfm 56 is one of the workhorses of not only the southwest fleet, but you see a lot of them in the airline business more than 13,400 are in service. they'll inspect these over the next 30 days on a much more rapid pace >> who else uses that engine is it across

[inaudible conversation] i just saw rachel in there

i think the broader context here is from kelly to mcmaster to gary cohn, the first people in this administration in the first year felt like their role was to direct the president away from his instincts, to tell him no, to tell him this is not the right thing to do, to try to almost like stop the president from his instincts and his decisions. trump seems to be saying, i don't want that anymore. i'm not surprised that kelly is being ignored. cohn was ignored. mcmaster was ignored. we talk about these advisers a lot, but at this point, i'm not sure kelly stays or goes. it doesn't really matter, i would argue. donald trump, more than last year for sure, more than last february, more than last april, is firmly in charge. we're talking about syria, talking about tariffs. he's doing things his staff was trying to stop him from doing. that's the big important story here. >> with regard to the story itself though, the president has denied the voracity over it. he's calling it made-up garbage. his new white house chief economic adviser, larry kudlow, also pushed back on this. let's take a listen to wha
