in the water before making this analysis? you heard from inmarsat, they can t say it s perfect. well, that s a central question that i can t answer. why the decision was made today to make this public announcement indicates to me that someone has a lot of confidence in the method. i would be very interesting in understanding how inmarsat came to their conclusion in being open and as we can get the scientific community peer reviewed. the plane went up to 45,000, down to 23, up to 30,000 and then down to 12,000. you can t do that on autopilot. someone is going to be either under force or willingly has to do that. what are you hearing on the altitude shifts? well, the thing that the americans thought is we are kind of skeptical at this. we re relying on malaysian
of motivation, i would think, it looked like he was living a pretty cushy lifestyle, i m not completely sold on it yet, i m still leaning toward possibly everybody became incapacitated, the plane just flew straight out into the ocean. how do you explain the altitude shifts that have been reported, 35,000 feet, 40,000 feet, 22,000 feet. and perhaps even a maldives sighting of a low flying plane with malaysian markings? i m not sure of the validity of those altitude changes at this point. i m not sold on that at this point. we do know the 777 is designed that the engines report technical information and send it back, it could have been picked up on satellite that is a possibility, it s something the

it is frightening to think we re 12 and a half, 13 years after 9/11 and you have people with stolen passports boarding international flights? i agree. and we re now told by our security agencies that more than two thirds of the countries on this planet are at risk for that kind of conduct. it is amazing to me that after the screw-ups and intelligence and otherwise leading to september 11th, we still don t have that information. say there was a military pilot or person that knew how to fly under the radar like that, landed somewhere. i know it sounds crazy, what if, they re planning on using it against us or someone else. we can only make comments based on what we re being told. we re being told what? not guilty, really. we re being told that the altitude shifts were dramatic and it could have flown for hours and hours.
plane reached any of them. with more from our great, great american panel, also ralph reed is with us and jedediah bila and congratulations on your new book. amen, we need it. thank you, sean. we re going to talk about this in a second. but ten days, planes don t go missing. transponders don t get shut off. the altitude shifts that we re reading about, none of this happens. why is this happening here and we have no answers here ten days later? i m scared. here i am just a civilian. we don t have information ten days later. but i don t believe it all. our government doesn t know anything? i m not conspiratorial, i
