nation s airports? bobby, you see firsthand how people are reacting to this, none too pleased when a flight is canceled or they have to go elsewhere, sometimes no other options for them. what do you tell them? neil, thanks for having me back. you know, that s really an interesting question because, you know, just like pete buttigieg just said, the airlines took the money to keep the employees employed so that when travel rebounded, the airlines would be ready for it. but what the airlines also did was incentivize people to retire and retire early to help weed out hair payroll and then their payroll and then keep some more of that money. now we re in the situation where folks are stuck at the airport and, unfortunately, there s really no other options except wait for the airline to find you another flight to get onto if you are delayed or canceled or to rye to rebook yourself. neil: a lot of people say it s the easier said than done, you did have good ideas when last we chatted, but
didn t have far enough in the investigation, reach far enough and some individual members even though, as a group they ve been exonerated could be targeted for further punishment. what do you think? this is a colossal reach from the get-go, i ve worked on the border and worked with the people side by side every day and following orders. they were placed into the situation because of the administration having an open border policy. they weren t trained in crowd control on horseback and they were told to go there. they were exonerated and from the beginning they ve been convicted by the court of public opinion and leadership and homeland security. they had to do something to justify the fact that they were found innocent of the charges of strapping, whipping people. they weren t and now they ve concocted a 500-page report to trash these people and at this point, i m not sure any border
from gas prices, oil prices and macro-level, we ve seen those prices start to come down as you look at commodities that have been training. some of the supply chain shortages have been driven by shutdowns in china. we are seeing supply chains open back up. and you referenced earlier on we ve seen these big retailers who have now got gluts coming into their stores because they ve got too much inventory which will bring a little bit of downward pressure on pricing. need to start seeing food prices, we need to see wheat getting released out of europe given the ukraine situation. so i think we ve got 75 points coming, but i think around labor day i think these supply chain macro issues are going to determine what happens next. neil: all right, don t wander too much, because i want to pick your brains in the next hour. in the meantime, i want to draw your attention to the nation s capital right now.
so when the president of the united states goes anywhere, a thorough advance has been done ahead of time. i don t see that in this situation. it doesn t appear that the japanese did much of a security advance in this particular instance. the american secret service has learned the hard way going back to john f. kennedy. we no longer drive presidents through downtown areas in an open him mow. neil: right, right, good point. after the reagan assassination attempt where john hinkley was standing squarely in the middle of the white house press pool, we no longer allow people in the area that have not been checked, evented and screened. and so the japanese, unfortunately, have learned the hard lesson in this situation and, hopefully, they will revamp their training and procedures. neil: dan emmett, thank you so much. there s still so much we don t know. obviously, beefed-up security not only for the president, congressmen, senators, governors and the like, even former
didn t the police prepare to hold the high ground? you never give the opportunity to a bad guy to get you on the high ground, and they didn t do that. they didn t get ready. and i think a lot of what we re seeing now is a result of defund the police, indict the cops. cops are doing nothing. they re standing back wringing their hands, trying to protect their own interests instead of being aggressive police officers, aggressive police managers. we just saw a situation in uvalde where a policeman had shooter in the sights of his rifle and asked for permission to shoot him. why d he do that? we all know what the law is. but they re afraid to do anything. we ve made our cops imto tent d impoe tent. it s easier to do nothing. i m not trying to change the topic, i m just saying there s more to the subject than red flag. it s what we re doing to our cops. we don t recruit the best cops anymore because we can t get them, number one. and number two, when we get them in a legal position, we indic
