And we start this friday morning with a fox news alert. Former President Donald Trump has apparently thrown his support behind ohio congressman jim jordan for the race for speaker of the house. Trumps endorsement on truth social last night comes ahead of a wednesday vote next wednesday as republicans seek a candidate who they believe is the best fit to replace former House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy. Lawrence trump posted overnight congressman jim jordan has been a star long before making his very successful journey to washington, d. C. Represent representing ohios fourth congressional district. He will be greater speaker of the house. And he has my complete and total endorsement. Brian trump isnt fully ruling out stepping in. Telling us quote, i almost said u. S. I have been asked to speak as a unifier because i have so many friends in congress if they dont get the vote they have asked me if i would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer term because i am running for president , they asked me if i would take it for a short period of time for the party until come to calculation. Im not doing it because i want to, i would do it necessary should they not come up for the decision i would only do it for the party. Jordan and Steve Scalise have officially announced bids for the speaker role. So this is a week of a lot of different developments when it comes to what is going on in the Republican Party. And this is the latest won. The former president weighing in and he is saying he is all in on jim jordan. Steve he is you have two leading contenders, jim jordan and Steve Scalise. They have both been working the phones like crazy over the last 48 hours. Each has more than a dozen endorsements. They have a big task. They have got to try to unite a fractured republican conference. Which for the most part, a couple of days ago was at total civil war, lawrence. Lawrence i think this whole debate is interesting. Obviously jim jordan original founder of the Freedom Caucus is going to be able to get those 20 on his side and really unify from that perspective. But, brian, i was of the mindset scalise you are not going to get anything different than mccarthy. I talked to some members yesterday said thats not true. It comes from an energy state. He is scalise because he was the whip, was known to call people and have conversations with people. So, dont be so sure that youre going to get the same mccarthy in Steve Scalise. Brian i dont think they were even talking. Evidently in 2018 when scalise made it clear he was also interested in being Speaker Mccarthy looked at that as an affront and he bypassed him down the chain. But i would say this Steve Scalise one of the nightest people you will meet, likes people. Number two he is tight with the president. Im not sure if that was the most Easy Decision President Trump has had to make. Remember, when he was shot, President Trump was coming over all the time and going to visit him there, tight with the family. So here is jim jordan last night. Steve scalise is a friend of mine. Kevin, steve and i we all came in the same conditioning. Steve is an American Hero but again, i think im better equipped to unite the conference, bring the conservatives along that im close to with the moderates. I have had great conversation. Jeff van drew. Jeff van drew is supporting me. Jeff van drew was a democrat five years ago. Switched parties now a great member of our conference. Is he supporting me. Thats what we have to do so we can get to the real goal which is those things we told the American People we were going to do for them. Steve its interesting. Scalise and jordan are both considered further to the right than Kevin Mccarthy who one of them could replace. For jordan, who, you know lawrence you mentioned the house Freedom Caucus, he is hard right. And what he has got to do is he has got to convince mainstream republicans in the congress that he can govern and not simply tear things down. And so thats why yesterday he met with the Main Street Caucus a group of business minded republicans. And scalise, his challenge is to stay one step ahead of jordan and make better inroads with the right wing, the hard right. In Steve Scalises phone pitch yesterday, the number one thing that attracted members was he said he reminded them, you know, im the number one fundraiser behind Kevin Mccarthy. Carley thats so true. Steve if you want money for reelection. Carley he is the guy who can do it. I was listening to a bunch of Different Congress men and women yesterday. Everyone speaks so highly of Steve Scalise. They did say he unfortunately is going through a battle with cancer right now. Marjorie Taylor Greene said listen, is he a personal friend. You cannot speak more highly of him professionally and personally but maybe for him he needs to take time to get better first. Thats where she stands on this. But i think it speaks volumes of his work ethic saying that i am up for the job, yeah, absolutely, so we just heard from jim jordan how he feels. He says that he is a big tent candidate. He can get Jeff Van Drew on his side who used to be a democrat and is he a member of the Freedom Caucus. We are also going to hear from Steve Scalise coming up later in the show steve you have that interview with him. Steve looking forward to it. Brian got to say im going through blood Cancer Treatment for the next few months. Im walking with a contain from the gunshots i took while playing baseball. Carr car what a guy. Brian im the guy do it. He doesnt seem to be a person who ever has a bad day. He always has a smile on his face. I see a scenario maybe because i have been watching television where its a total circus next week that its so close that donald trump will probably be asked to come in and maybe grant gavel for a week or two. Steve they would have to change the rules. Carley donald trump said he could go to capitol hill on tuesday to try and unite the party. So you could see those images as well. Brian he and Hakeem Jeffries probably have a lot of catching up to do and nancy pelosi might be in the hall moving had her office. Lawrence i think there may be chaos. I think this is good for the party. They need to duke it out and i hope they do it Behind Closed Doors. Brian i dont think so. Lawrence come with a consensus candidate from. Your point, steve from, my understanding the rule is if you are a member of the house, you cannot be under Felony Indictment. The former president is not a member of the house. Steve he would be if he were speaker they would have to change the rule. Its got to be a Felony Indictment and he has a whole bunch of them. So the tuesday thing it there is going to be Candidate Forum on tuesday and then the voting starts on wednesday. Brian only got 91 indictments. Steve faces 712 years. So, anyway, the one interesting thing is if there is one thing that is going you know, if you are a member of the republican conference, and you wonder which of these two guys should i support . He could come down to the simple topic of ukraine. Because, last week, jim jordan sided with 117 republicans and voted against sending more aid to ukraine. So he is an anti ukraine guy. Whereas Steve Scalise sided with 101 republicans supporting ukraine. Its a pretty cut and dry issue. One guy is for it and one guy is against it. Brian jim jordan tied it to the border. And so did Lindsey Graham who is more proukraine than anybody else. He said the border is falling apart. I get it. Whatever it takes to get this president to understand that you have allowed our sovereignty to be compromised, do it. Because a president wants ukraine aid, obviously he might be repurposing state department aid, so, to do that, make them put money and attention to the border. And i think thats that was the nuances and the gray area of jim jordan yesterday. Carley also, no matter what happens that motion to vacate that matt gait used to get Kevin Mccarthy out house rules. It only takes one person. Yesterday somebody was interviewing m matt gaetz i thik it was Brooke Singman he would be own to exchanging his position. Steve he was okay with it which is crazy. You were down in dallas yesterday you had had a Whirlwind Trip you saw your mom and the mayor. Lawrence you saw the mayor of dallas who is making whirlwinds himself he was a democrat, a progressive, a star within the Democratic Party. He decides that because of what is happening in the country is he going to switch over to the Republican Party. He is the only mayor in the top 10 cities that is now a republican. Well, apparently the chair of the Democratic Party got word of this. And he wasnt happy. Play it. We have seen a rash, a recent rash of party switching. [applause] and im sure you all saw the news of the dallas mayor. Oh my god. Constituents to serve as a democrat and the democratic policies that he completely Out Of The Blue swiped to the other side. It got my blood boiling. What was the first thing that the mayor of dallas did after he switched parties . He met with Vivek Ramaswamy, tim scott, and he flew to d. C. To meet with Kevin Mccarthy. Bless his heart. [laughter] and its shameless. Its feckless, and it has serious consequences. Steve next time he speaks we need a Microphone Closer to him, just saying. Lawrence i think its shameful that you have the Democratic Party that has a huge party with black men. And you have the only mayor of a major city that is a black man that has switched parties. Nothing goes through his head to say what happened . What do we need to do . If this mayor is flipping, will there be others . Will there be others in our brian Behind Closed Doors he is saying john james, senator tim scott. Byron donalds . Lawrence i dont think so, brian. I have seen no move from the Democratic Party hey, lets wise up. Lets do something a little bit different. Its sad because that could be the decider of this next election. Brian do you see this happening to americans erupting in chicago illegal immigration. Lawrence its happening everywhere. Look, you are not putting us first. One thing that got me on that point, brian, the one lady said we are already at the bottom of the barrel. We already have scraps right now. You already have people on the streets crime is hitting us already and send illegals there and give them more than we get in the democrats have a real problem. Steve and they do. One of the things he has stood for is he was never for defunding the police. He cut the property taxes, which, of course, cutting taxes where does that happen . A town run by democratic mayor. And what is very telling is he switched parties even though he won reelection with, i think, 99 of the vote. Ste lawrence he didnt need this. When we were talking to him, this is what he said about the reason why he switched parties. Lets watch. The reality is there is a really big gap at this point in time between ohio am, what is important to me, what im about and where the Democratic Party is and whats important to them and what theyre about. And thats really come too head since i have become the mayor. If you look how i governed its been republican conservative principles, prolaw enforcement, propublic safety principles. Im just saying that is the kind of republican i want to be and we need more of them. Carley lawrence, did you get a sense of how voters in dallas felt about that . I mean, they voted for a democrat candidate, now he is a republican, kind of shake things up. Lawrence im sure the mayor wouldnt mind me saying it. He is from the hood of dallas. Oak live and west dallas. The people for some reason, he has this connection with them as we are doing the interview, people were blowing their horn hey, mayor, how are you doing democrats. Carley they dont care about the party . Lawrence there are some people the people that are the elites and involved with politics. He goes i grew up here. I have been governing as a republican mayor for the last four years and they didnt even know. Lawrence right. His three goals. I love this guy. We spend a lot of time down in dallas because our kids are there with grandson. He has goals and make dallas the safest big city in america. They are pretty much right there. He wants to establish the best park system in texas and the lowest taxes in north texas. Which is tough. Lawrence i dont see any democrat talking about that. And i think for the American People, they dont care about the r and d. They want their life better and the mayor talked about it. Carley Ronald Reagan said i didnt leave the Democratic Party the are Democratic Party left me im sure thats how he feels, too. Brian in new york this week aoc and company are looking to raise taxes on the horrible millionaires and theyre the worst people. People who make over 250,000. Higher barack for people make over 323,000. New york everywheres losing people. 25 to 42 who make that on a record rate, they are raising taxes. Lawrence businesses keep leaving.

Brian new overnight a 10yearold boy killed and 26 others hurt at russian strike in Apartment Building in northeast ukraine. This is horrendous. This attack comes one day after 52 were killed in the same region when a Russian Missile hit a cafe and grocery store. The u. S. Is denouncing the attack and the Human Rights Commission is deploying a team to investigate. Elsewhere. Actually, lets keep it in the theater.

Three touchdowns on the night. Pass is called in by moore. Gets free. Washington gamables and lose the gamble that time. 56 yards touchdown. Mike says so much in so few words. Bears win 4020. Bears first victory of the season. Carley a truly flawless sports report. 10 out of 10. Brian trying to live up to your level. Carley also this, a new report of major cuts and Army Special Forces troops that comes at the biden administration, shifts its focus from The Middle East to asia. The army is reportedly planning to cut 3,000 Special Operations Troops or 10 from its ranks. Our next guest is a retired green beret lt. Colonel scott mann joins us now. Scott, good morning to you. How do you feel about this fourth reduction and what will the impact be . Hey, carley, thanks for having me on. I mean, im concerned about it. I think a lot of the Special Operations active duty leadership are worried about that. Particularly because just the heavy load that the special Operations Forces carry for the military. But, in particular in this case, we are talking about green berets. These are combat advisers. These are the ones like brian was just talking about, you know, aid to the ukrainians and training. A lot of that has come and continues to come from army green berets. And its essential in working with our partners around the world. Carley there are shrugging this off. Cut special operators in a supporting rule so logistics, communications not trigger pullers. What do you say to that . Phil, i think thats being pretty dismissive of the Army Special Operations enablers who pulled a whole lot of triggers in the 20year war right alongside their green beret brothers and sisters. Number two, carley, its indicative of the Leadership Gap to just slough that off. The military has lost trust since the afghanistan withdrawal. There has been external loss in trust down to 50 . Frankly are telling their kids, their nephews and nieces dont join up because of what went down in afganistan. You see the Chief Of Staff or the secretary of the army saying well, you know what . Thats a Warrior Cast System and we are moving away from that i think there is a deeper Leadership Problem going on here that the army and the senior Military Leaders need to address or its not going to go away a few thousand cuts. Carley statement from the Army Secretary on Special Forces cuts. She says because our end strength has decreased we have four structure spaces, if you will, that are unmanned right now. We need to shrink the size of that overstructure because essentially if we dont, its hollow structure. Part of what were doing is driven by recruiting challenges. We have had for the last few years. So, essentially what she is saying is that these are duplicate positions and that this is just, you know, bureaucracy run amok and that they are just trying to streamline things. What do you think about that . It sounds like a lot of corporate speak to me, frankly. You have 6500 green berets in the overall inventory of in a military of 1,000. Green berets deployed at 65 countries around the world to include a 20 year war. Anybody who thinks we are going to fight china russia isis or china unila unilateral deluded. Cut into a 6500 person force it, makes no sense. The last thing i will say carley on that is there is a growing capability of alqaeda, regardless of what some of the reports are saying. Carley absolutely. They are regenerating in afghanistan. And there is a very good chance that we could see a resurgence of them and you cant mass produce special ops after an emergency occurs that is a Special Operations troop. Carley good point. Scott, one of the reasons the pentagon is doing this because they are shifting focus from Counterterrorism Operations to china. I think that would raise some alarms for a lot of people that they are rejiggering things and their focus isnt going to be on those Counterintelligence Missions anymore. Do you think that that is the right thing to do now to take focus away from counterterrorism and shift it to asia . I think a lot of the older veterans have seen this happen. I think there is a desire to focus on china and russia. And while i dont necessarily disagree with that, you have to look at will and capacity of the enemy. Alqaeda and Isis Have Enduring Desire to strike the homeland. They have proven that they can and they will. And they now have a new unfettered safe haven in afghanistan. And they are going to make that happen. We need to remember that the enemy has a vote when it comes to national security. And i dont think we are looking at that right now. Carley thats true. We will see if lloyd austin approves this and if he does congress can overturn it. There are a lot of Congress Men And Women who have deep support and admiration for the Special Operations community. Its certainly something to watch. Scott mann, thank you so much for waking up early with us this morning. We appreciate it . Thanks.

Is he going to switch to a republican. Carley the switch makes dallas the largest city with a republican mayor. Lawrence and a fox friends exclusive i have a chance to talk with the newly republican mayor on his decision. Take a look. Sixth mayor of the great state of dallas my friend, mayor johnson. Lawrence mayor, you just made this big decision. You switched parties. I guess the question is why . The reality is there is a really big gap at this point in time between who i am, whats important to me, what im about and where the Democratic Party is and whats important to them and what they are about. And thats really come to a head since i have become the mayor. Very soon after the whole defund the police nonsense started, activists showed up at my house, trying to intentionally scare my family, scare my children, scare me into changing my very, very clear position that we were not going to do that in dallas. And that really was sort of the eye opener in terms of this party is really serious about protecting the criminal element over the law abiding folks. And that they werent really going to change. Lawrence i remember going around the country covering all these different protests and i remember they tried to shut the bridge down in dallas you stood with the cops when a lot were anticop at the moment. You stood firm, why . Because i am a person of the people. Im one of the people. I grew up in those communities. I know what the people over there want. They told me what they wanted. They want to live in a safe neighborhood and they dont want the police to leave. They want more police. They want those police to be trained well. They want them to be practitioners of community policing. But they want them there. They didnt want the Police Department defunded. If i felt like you could actually be a true Law And Order fiscally responsible democrat i would have drop that i tried that you cant. Im living proof you end up on an island isolated if you do that. Lawrence youre not just the mayor of a top ten major city that is now republican, but you are a black man. So, i guess the Elephant In The Room is how is community responding to their guy being a republican . They will start to ask themselves why are we still democrats . We trust him. He has never let us down. I believe this is actually going to be black folk in the community i represent so long we need to give the Republican Party a look, especially today. Lawrence what is your message to the voter thats out here thats teetering they dont know if they Republican Party. Get past the soundbites and personalities and be honest with yourself about what is important to you. Lawrence about to be a big race in 2024. A lot of candidates in the race. Donald trump seems to be the one thats leading the pack right now. Do you plan on weighing in on at any point . Well, i dont plan on endorsing. I have been very clear about that. Thats because thats been my policy. I decline endorsing joe biden when he was running for president the first time. I will be listening to the candidates. Any of them can come to dallas to visit as senator scott did. I will sit down with them. Lawrence every republican nationally they want you to be on the road for the party. Do you plan on doing Higher Office . Is there is a senate run . Run for governor . What is it. Thats probably the most common question i get. What are you running for next . I have one word answer for you, lawrence. Im not running for anything. I want to be the mayor of dallas end of my term. I said i want to get off the sidelines. Here is how i want to get off the sidelines we need morphos call conservatives and Law And Order people who have conservative principles. Basically republican principles running for office at the local level, particularly for mayor. We need more republican mayors. We cant afford to let the cities look like they look right now from San Francisco to chicago to philadelphia to d. C. , the news is filled every day with all this outofcontrol lawless behavior. Its because, again, its a culture of lawlessness. Its lax da on the democratic side. Lawless mayors. If you look how i have governed republican prolaw enforcement, propublic safety principles. Im just saying that is the kind of republican i want to be and we need more of them. Lawrence so there you have it, brian. There is no real effort from the right to run conservative mayors. I think you just have the guy who has laid out a blueprint to get that done. Brian i mean, things have to get terrible before people examine and try to put in major change . And those cities, i would add in new york after that. Have to look into it. And, for example, eric adams here in new york. He used to be a republican. And he is fed up. Is he on the edge. Would he be the next one . And, should john james, byron donalds, should this mayor get together with tim scott and say lets just start a movement and lets maybe start doing appearances . You hop on the view. You hop on Charlamagne Tha God instead of it happening organically. Carley that move has started. That question how do voters feel people are thinking wait a second, im not a democrat anymore, either. Do you see a major party switch happening where republicans are now there is a lot of union workers. Minorities that are trending red. And the College Educated and rich folks are trending more blue. And thats a switch. Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding. Dallas is you get off the plane in dallas, you feel safe. Everything is clean. Everything works. Its beautiful. And its cheap. Steve cheaper. Ainsley supported police and you didnt see democratic mayors do this. Brian do you think this is it for Higher Office . Lawrence i dont know. I take him at his word because he is not the type of republican that is going to give this elaborate speech. Is he very simple. Maybe not now but in the future, i can see the party calling him on. Steve exactly because he is term limited. He just has the one term. Carley meeting with scott and Vivek Ramaswamy ambition. Thats a good thing. Steve thanks for going. Brian that was great. Steve move over, kids, migrants are taking over a Football Field in the which i city of chicago. Residents have a message for the mayor there. Listen. We have already eat crap. Why have we always got to be at the bottom of the barrel. No. Turn the buses around. You are selling us out for people who cant vote. Steve were going to hear from some much those residents coming up on this telecast.

But, was there a deal on the table to save Kevin Mccarthy . Youre about to hear one that was on the table for the first time. Lets bring in the cochair of the Problem Solvers congress, Brian Fitzpatrick. Congressman, as things were ticking down, the vote was about to happen, what was happening behind the scenes with the Problem Solvers . Hey, good morning, brian. Well, this all happened so quick. A deal was pulled together on friday, which, in many ways was consistent with the Problem Solvers Caucus framework. We dont believe in government shutdowns. We issued a framework endorse the bill and ultimately there was a house bill to avert a shutdown that was put on the floor. Speaker mccarthy pulled a rabbit out of his hat. He saved our country from the shutdown. The senate stood down and took up the house bill and we were under the assumption logical assumption that that kind of behavior would be rewarded, particularly from our colleagues across the aisle and then fastforward three days later this all happened so quick, the motion to vacate gets put on the floor. And we went to our colleagues and said can you at least buy us some time . 48 hours . We cant rewrite a 300 page rules package to make the housework more in a bipartisan manner in 8 hours. Its impossible. So our request was can you vote to table it just this one time because the my colleague who brought this motion was not going to stop the first time. He was prepared to go multiple times every single week. Brian matt gaetz . We said to our colleagues can you vote present on the motion to table . Not even to table it, not even to not vacate, but just to vote present on the motion to table. Brian people know that arent in congress. You mean democrats. I do, i do. Brian okay. Go ahead. Thats all we were asking for was time, brian. Thats why so many republicans in our group that are very, very upset and add me to that list. Were going to get together next week. This is a memberdriven group and we are going to decide as a group, as a family to figure out how to proceed. Brian you might end the Problem Solvers conference they collapsed under pressure from Hakeem Jeffries . I dont think the group is going toned, brian. Im going to leave that to the members. Needs to be forum where democrats and republicans talk particularly in close margins in divided chambers. You need some forum. But i would say that, you know, the members are going to decide what that is going to look like Going Forward. Brian so, congressman, just to be clear, there was a deal working behind the scenes that would equal out the number of people on the rules committee, make it even. Leave the chairperson republican. Ranking member democrat. But that would give that would be enough. Republicans could give up a seat on that rules committee in order to table it for 48 hours to try to get a deal together to save Kevin Mccarthy. Am i correct . It was the rules package in total, brian, so basically it was rank and file member empowerment, encouraging written in a way to encourage more bipartisan bills to come to the floor. We couldnt get past the rules vote. Brian thats what the rules committee does. The rules package is what you vote on on the first day of congress. It sets the stage for how the floor is going to pray. The rules Committee Functions under the rules package. So thats what we were going to revisit. You cannot rewrite that particularly in a transformative way in eight hours. We just couldnt do it. All we were asking for was time. And that time was not afforded to us sadly. Brian Hakeem Jeffries played the face the nation clip the whole caucus said we are leaving Kevin Mccarthy out. So now, yesterday, President Trump endorsed jim jordan. Where were you and what does that mean . Well, i met with jim last night. I will say, brian, i get along with literally all my colleagues. There is no hard feelings, even though amongst any of us even though a lot of us have very different views. I met with jim yesterday. We have always had a solid relationship. Is he a friend. Going to be talking to Leader Scalise today and kevin hern is thinking about throwing his hat in the ring. What we do, brian, is we meet with these members as groups. So, the republican main street group, Problem Solvers, we are going to do forums and allow them to present. Mainly the motion to vacate, brian. We want to make sure that that is mix fixed. We cannot perpetuate this problem we saw last week. Brian its bad for the country. Lastly, there are so many quality candidates. You dont see 218 happening easily which makes you think that there might be a place for Kevin Mccarthy to slide back in . Well, all options are on the table right now. If any of the candidates cant get there look how hard it was for kevin to get there kevin has been the leader of this party, undisputed leader of this party since the day i got here. And he did a tremendous job holding the conference together. Was tremendous in all facets of the job. So, its unclear, particularly after so many feelings from last week whether anybody can get to 218. We will see if that happens. If it doesnt, dont be surprised if you see calls for kevin to reemerge. Brian why not . More unexpected. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, just trying to make congress work. Thanks so much. You bet, thanks, brian. Brian we reached out to the minority Leaders Office for a statement on the deal that would have saved Kevin Mccarthy but did not receive a response.

It is a sky high scramble the Airlines Delta southwest and american are looking over their planes engines for fault with parts after an airline parts broker, a middleman, allegedly forged safety certificates. Apparently critical components ranranging from small bolts to engine cure bine blades now need to be replaced. Aviation consultant mike boyd joins us right now. Mike, good morning to you. Good morning to you. Steve so, this is terrifying. I just saw a daily mail headline that said is this the most dangerous scam in Aviation History . Apparently this middleman sold parts from the u. K. To American Airlines that the parts are not actually certified. They sent a piece of paper that said they are certified but that was not true. So, how dangerous are those parts in airplanes . Probably less so than you might think. Probably most of them are functional but you cant track back whether they have been overhauled properly. Thats the big issue here. The big issue isnt the very few airplanes. Number one, united, american, every airline out there in Full Metal Jacket mode looking at all their records. Remember, everything is tracked on an airplane. Right now we are probably safer than we were only because they are looking at everything. The real issue is how did these parts get through and how did this front person, whatever aog, whatever they are in the u. K. , how did they get into the system . Thats the real issue and how do you have falsified parts and falsified documents to get in. Thats an issue for the faa to get into and i havent heard much. Steve i see the number of engines affected by Uncertified Parts is 126. Mike, the airlines with these bad parts, somebody called them and said hey, you got to take that plane out of service and fix it, right . The stuff that we know, the machines with the bad stuff are not flying today, right . No, they are not flying. They are being, you know, properly repaired. But, keep in mind, if you have 127 engines or Something Like that. You know, there are probably 25,000 of these cfm 56 engines flying in the sky right now. Its a small number. The big news here is you Better Believe they are looking at every part not just for these engines but everything out there to make sure this doesnt get through again. In that sense we are safer. The question is for the faa how did these parts get in there. How did these things get frankly, you know, what do you call doctored to get into the system . Thats the real issue. Steve that was my next and final question and that is, you know, the faa, part of the department of transportation, secretary buttigieg, you would think, would issue something. I havent seen anything yet. But, it becomes a question of oversight. You know, why isnt the faa taking a better lead on this . Well, number one, the faa has been leaderless and, you know, its been a political organization. Chuck schumer suggesting people to run the faa for crying out loud. And buttigieg, lets be real blunt he doesnt know what he is doing. To from that perspective we have a real issue in more than just parts. In that Case Buttigieg should be in front of this and in front of it and should be here today instead of me. Hes not. Thats going to be another issue here. For the flying public, believe me, we are probably just as safe probably safer now. Between airlines, american, delta, united, southwest, they are looking at every part on their airplanes. No not just these engine parts, they are tightening them up and have a much tighter system Going Forward because they cant trust what is coming in. Steve it is a scary story. Im glad somebody
