senator ted cruz said a critical tracking system was turned off in the chopper at the time of the crashadcast. it tracks an aircraft's speed and altitude. it's being looked into whether having that safety system off would have made it more difficult for air traffic controller to track the aircraft. >>> the deadly plane crash in philadelphia, deral investigators are hoping the plane's black boxes will contain answers. these devices offer families the chance for clarity and over the years they've given authorities insights into how to make flying safer. how exactly do these critical tools work and what's the history behind them? here's black box's simply explained. in times of aviation crisis, authorities prioritize saving lives and recovering the black box. >> can you in simple terms explain what a black box is? >> i should note they're not black. they're orange. that helps identify them in the wreckage. they're called black boxes because the original design was designed not to let light in. there are two black boxes. one is the digital flight data recorder. the second is the cockpit voi

prosecutor, would you ever think that you were walking into something potentially partizan, when ted cruz, of all people, described january 6th as domestic terrorism until he undid his characterization of january 6th as, quote, domestic terrorism on an appearance with tucker carlson. take me inside the cash. is cash patel for or against the firing of one sixth of the fbi workforce? >> boy, that's a great question. at his confirmation hearings on thursday, which went. >> from their perspective. >> swimmingly. >> he was asked. >> a very interesting question by cory booker, which is, will. you abide by internal. >> processes. >> including reports from the inspector general and internal. reviews of the conduct of employees before firing people? now, it appears that that booker had some. sense of. >> what was. >> going on in. >> the building at the. >> time, but. >> he clearly. >> laid down. >> a. >> marker and patel said yes, that he would. >> abide by all. >> of. >> those all of those benchmarks. here's the problem. kash patel. >> is. >> not inside the building right now. todd blanche, the d

. >> senator ted cruz saying today a key safety system was turned off in the u.s.y helicopter that collided last week with an american airlines regional jet. senator cruz said military aircraft are permitted to disengage the automatic dependent surveillance broadcast, but there was no compelling national security reason to do so. during the training mission, 67 people died in that crash. a federal judge approved an agreement today to temporarily restrict some of elon musk's department of government efficiency staff from accessing sensitive treasury department information. a group of union members and retirees sued the treasury, accusing it of violating federal privacy laws by allowing doge to access its payment and collection system. the judge's order today keeps the block in place depending on the outcome of february 24th, and that's when the hearing is. longtime chicago bears owner virginia mccaskey has died. she inherited the nfl team after her father's death in 1983, and served as its principal owner for more than 40 years. virginia mccaskey was 102 years old.

trump himself has waded into these waters, going so far as to accuse ted cruz's father of somehow being an baselessly being involved. i mean, it's part of a broader. no one trusts the government kind of thing. >> absolutely. and to me, this feels more like this is a way to keep that shiny object tinkling bright. for those of trump supporters who are into this, right. that there are reasons not to trust the government. it's also a way to deflect from what i think will be real questions about the potential for corruption, like 32 investigations throughout 11 agencies. new york times has a great piece on it today, just involving elon musk. i mean, we've got 11 other billionaires in the cabinet. and i think it's again, it's a it's an effort to, you know, say, look over here. well, maybe other things are going on over here. >> and then it's a consistency question. transparent on some things and not not not others. which is which is legitimate. and zolan i mean, there are a lot of questions i will say in that list. declassifying details on covid origins, i think, could be. a good thing. quite

when the president says he wants canada as the 51st state or ted cruz spends the whole morning on a hearingthat i had to attend as a member of the commerce committee on acquiring greenland. let us remember, for everyone watching your show here, that at the same time grocery prices are going up, inflation is going up. they pledged from day one. the president said he was. that was his focus. he wants to bring prices down. instead, they have this expansionist international agenda, while at the same time planting people in the fbi and at the justice department to protect his own interests. it was and is all about donald trump. >> i am a hopeless, optimistic and sort of naively think that persuasion is possible. and, you know, matt gaetz did go down in flames. hegseth passed by one vote. gabbard i don't know what's going to happen with rfk jr, though. it looks like he's on the path. patel still seems like an open question to me, given the fact that a senator has accused him of perjuring himself and he has this enormous possible personal financial conflict of interest, and he's obviously not qual

was it senator john kennedy or ted cruz? >> kennedy. do you know this? no. >> i just held. >> it up with conviction. >> i believe. yes. >> okay. we're tied up. >> you ought to own a handgun just in case. >> that sounded like a. >> sometimes you can use the handgun while you're in love. really? from what i've heard. >> i know i know nothing. >> about that. which republican senator has voted against the most trump nominees this year? is it mitch mcconnell or lisa murkowski? >> geez, i got a i got to say, mcconnell. >> this was just a wild guess. >> is it really? yes. >> oh, no. >> all right. i'm in the lead. >> brenberg in the lead going into the final question. >> seal the deal here. this is it. >> money for nothing? no. america voted for common sense. but democrats aren't listening. who is once again calling for reparations? ayanna pressley or maxine waters? no relation. >> oh, gosh. oh, i'm. >> going here. >> you know what? oh, he looked at her thing. >> and he went the. >> same one. >> you're distracting. >> my record on this show. >> you can't afford.

senator ted cruz filed a bill two weeks ago to defund the cfpb. how is this going to be sold to the american people? because over the first week or so of doge, you know, announcing how much money usaid spent on an iranian children's program is one thing, despite how much that is really of the budget. but shutting down something that was created after the great recession to protect people from the abuses and recklessness that lost so many people, so much money, theoretically, that's a different sale. how do they do it? is that a concern at all? >> well, they do it when the republican members of congress don't say anything or do anything to exert. oversight, you one set of people cannot wipe out, in a sense, by firing people and stopping the funding of an agency created by congress. there's a fair and legal way to do things. so this is the agency. you know, the brainchild of this was senator elizabeth warren when she was an academic. and this this is the watchdog for the financial industry at the during the biden era, one of the big things they were
