john, let me start with you. you heard what the chief of the u.s. border patrol had to say. basically, my agents were having rocks thrown at them. that s whiep we y we deployed t gas. there s a headline from 2013 that talks about a similar situation in november about agents firing tear gas from the san diego union tribune which has some parallels to what we have seen. this is not entirely new. talk to us about your response to the response you have seen in the last 24 hours. first of all, no one likes to see those images of parents, mother and children running from tear gas. it s the duty of the border patrol to protect the border itself. this is really a crisis of the administrati administration s own making. we have an orderly way of handling those people. i believe we pushed the people up to the border by changing the rules mid stream. it s an act of desperation. once they get there the border patrol has to take action.
might not want to defund it or take the steps to do it, but the president is willing to do it. on issue after issue after issue, the final thing rolling back regulations, that s the biggest impact onhe economy and that s why we are growing. laura: the tax bill in there. good, very good. but i think that regulations are bigger but i do not think the obama regulations had a bigger dampening on the economy. i m the 54% of america not happy on the side of the table for you guys are at 46% that is happy. i m the 54% that is not happy. laura: tell us why. why you gave them a f. you are giving me a hard time during the break and i said, i m sorry, that s what it is. listen, this president has been an abject failure and he will you measure people entered this presidency able to afford t gas, they cannot now. also, the social security, medicare has been put in rest by the president. he has been a complete and total washout as a failure as of the mets get policy president.
we ve been talking act the two fuel slicks they are testing conducting on that field to find out whether it came from plane or whether it s jet gas and also new developments about the plane that possibly may have turned around. now, there is radar tracking the world malaysian air force chief said that there was a possibility that the plane had turned around. he gave no further indication. certainly there was nothing from the plane itself, the pilots or the automatic sensors from on the plane which feed regularly back to the airline to suggest that the plane was turning around or the pilots had made that decision. so after another 24 hours, frustratingly short on real facts here at the moment. but i can say is the actual search itself is expanding because of that potential turnaround by the plane. there s now some 40 vessels involved from several countries now, 22 claims the u.s. is involved. it s sending the longoria range orion p-3 aircraft. they can be in the air 12 hours
thruster on that side. not a lot of people realize, the pilot tosses it in reverse, right? essentially, right. exactly. he puts the throttle full throttle forward, but in the back of the jet, you can only see this if you re behind the wing. the engine turns itself backwards and there are reverse thrusters that make the jet gas, the jet engine, push here, hit this and then push backwards like a jet boat. that s how a jet boat can back up because you put the cap on the back of the jet and the jet pushes the water forward. this pushes air forward using the engine as the brake. the pilot did not want to do that. hey f hey, if i have a problem with my engine, i don t want to use it as a brake. he used the wheel brakes and the brakes overheated. therefore he got the light on the wheel brakes. we re told there was a fire. according to the faa, they have confirmed there was a fire in the main landing gear.
