Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Cavuto 20240704

Neil well, georgia very much on the minds of joe biden and donald trump. Theyll be campaigning in the peach state today. The closest state in the 2020 contest. The guy behind that recount, Georgia Republican Secretary Of State Brad Raffensperger what hes hearing about the race. More on that in a second. Now, of course, no labels Joe Lieberman whos not naming names, but he sure is cooking up some big third party plans. All that and mike pompeo, the former Secretary Of State opted out of joining this years president ial race. Now the guy he served just might be eyeing him for an even bigger role. And a really big jobs report. The president teeing up really big spending. Some folks are worried about inflation roaring back like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is convinced this economys just is pick taking off even if a few jets is their own issues taking off and sometimes swerving off. Time to fast ifen your seat belts, cavuto live is off and running starting now. Neil welcome, everybody. Happy weekend. Im neil cavuto. Lets get right to georgia, the peach state, where the attention is on the two per spect prospective nominees of the party making their presence known in what could be a raucous day there. Mark never Meredith Meredith has more. Reporter good morning, neil. Some pretty rough weather, but we are going to see biden and trump on the Campaign Trail trying to win over voters. Trump won georgia back in 2016, lost it in 2020 by a narrow margin, and this november it is going to be a tossup. Trump is going to be campaigning up in rome, georgia, about 45 minutes to an hour outside of atlanta, but the Biggen Contest will be on tuesday where its possible if not likely hell reach enough delegates to clinch the republican nomination. This past week nikki haley, his last remaining gop rival, she dropped out of the race. On friday trumps team posted these photos of him meeting with hungary s Prime Minister at a maralago. The leader whos been in power since 2010 has a close relationship with russia and is considered an autocrat of his country. Also during thursdays state of the Union Address President Biden repeatedly attacked trump, his predecessor. Trump firing back on social media posting pictures Mocking Biden and also writing, quote this was an angry, polarizing and hatefilled speech. E barely mentioned immigration or the worst border in the history of the world. He will never if face immigration nor does he want to fix immigration. This Weekend Trump is getting the full support of the Republican National committee. It chose new leaders on friday out in houston, and the new gop chairman says he is determined to boost trump this fall. The rnc is going to be the vanguard of a movement that will work tirelessly every single day to elect our nominee, donald j. Trump, as the 47th president of the United States. [applause] flip the senate, expand our majority in the house of representatives. Reporter one of the Big Questions Going Forward will be how much money, if any, the rnc would be spending to defend trump in his multiple criminal cases hes facing including one here in georgia which has been stalled as there is a look into whether or not the prosecutor acted appropriately. I would bet trump brings that up when he campaigns today, and well see President Biden a little bit later on this afternoon as well. Neil . Neil all right. You have a Front Row Seat there. Thank you very much, Mark Meredith in atlanta, georgia. Want to go to washington right now. Lucas tomlinson. The president is feeling the wind at his back from a State Of The Union speech thats getting good reviews, got better ratings. Well see how far that goes. Reporter the white house touting the new jobs report. The u. S. Economy grew by some 275,000 new jobs, beating estimates a although unemployment if crept up from 3. 7 to 3. 9. You had some guests on your show yesterday, neil, who differed about what this economy needs. Lets start with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. On average wages have gone up faster than prices. Doesnt mean every single american is seeing that at home. Let me just put something in perspective. In the fourth quarter, gdp grew by about 330 billion. It cost Us 830 Billion in debt to pay for it. That is unsustainable. Reporter now lets take a look at that new jobs report from the labor department, neil. About a third came from health care and social assistance. 52,000 were government jobs. Leisure and hospitality saw a nice bump, but manufacturing saw a drop of some4,000 jobs. President biden touted the Strong Economy in the state of the Union Address as you mentioned thursday night, neil. The speech was not without its share of outbursts. Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene demanding biden say the name of that young woman killed by an illegal immigrant in her home state. Its not about him, its not about me. Id be a winner not really [inaudible] [inaudible conversations] lincoln, lincoln riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. Reporter now, President Biden might have had football on the mind. Lincoln riley, of course, is the head coach of the usc trojan ises. President biden was later asked about using that word, illegal, to describe the killer before leaving for philadelphia. Reporter do you regret using the word illegal to describe immigrants last night, sir . Well, i probably i dont technically, hes not supposed to be here. Reporter now, President Biden later heads to atlanta, of course, as we just heard from Mark Meredith, a key swing state in the 2024 election. In 2016 georgia had two republican senators. Today it has none, neil if. Neil thats amazing. You know, when he said tech create heir not supposed to be here, referring to the illegal dustup and all that, he might have just heard hit on it. You can argue the semantics, but hes saying one thing and the liberal base of his party saying another. Looks as if he has a runin with his own party. Reporter thats right. An illegal alien is not supposed to come into the United States with, and some of the progressives from the squad, ill hand omar said president should not have used that word, illegal, others pushing back saying the president was describing accurately this man who killed that young woman in georgia, laken riley. Neil got it. Lucas tomlinson at a rainy white house. We have a gop fundraiser joining us, doug schoen, you know him as well, democratic pollster. Doug, cold i get your sense about this rift within the Democratic Party . Were told its not nearly as big as you think, but when you start arguing over semantics, it is a hint of maybe some problems to come. What do you make of that . It is, and it is an issue because, or neil, bluntly, the president should have been more forthright and more aggressive in his willingness to use Executive Orders against illegal immigration, tightening up the asylum are process and even building a wall and fencing. And bottom line he was very careful we saw in those remarks just now how careful he was of with his nomenclature. The squad may not have numbers, but they have share of voice, and they have less chance in the liberal media, and resonance, and thats what joe biden was taking pains to avoid offending after a speech that, if nothing else, convinced people that he has the strength at this point to fight a campaign. Neil you know, im wondering, guys, and were seeing the frustration of setting up the exact same race we had four years ago, and a lot of people are saying theres got to be an alternative. Along comes no labels to indicate they dont necessarily have the candidate in mind yet, although were hearing a couple of names are being bandied about. Well get to that in a second. But, noel, the one thing i picked up from Joe Lieberman is their intent, that is, no labels, its full steam ahead. This is from Joe Lieberman. Are you looking, for example, at nikki haley . Well, nikki haleys really i mean, i think if she had expressed interest in the no labels nomination, there would have been a lot of support in our group with, but shes chosen otherwise. Neil The Up Feint Arizona independent arizona senator, former democrat, who opted out of running for that office. Have you talked to her about maybe a Bigger Office . Shes not interested. I look forward to coming on the show when i can tell you the names. Were not going to be a long ways from that. Were ready to go. The delegates authorize today, and thatll happen in, my guess, the next couple of weeks. Neil whether theres any movement there, jeff duncan, the former Lieutenant Governor of georgias name, has been mentioned. A lot of people dont know him on a national basis, but what do you think . You know, i think that they have good intentions. I think that they went off an early poll that said that 43 of americans are undecided. They, you know, if given the chance to vote for trump or biden, hay dont like either one of them. So i think they went out and that was their whole mission statement. They raised money on that. One of the things i think that theyre probably going to come to a roadblock is how can you raise money with a zero candidate name, i mean, you know, candidates have certain blands, and how can you seriously raise over brands with, and how can you raise a certain amount of money when you actually have no name. The other thing is now that its tightening up and getting closer, nobody, you know, theres a democrat, nobody thats republican wants to shake up their party like that because we dont know which side actually pulls from. Is it going to pull from people are very uncomfortable voting for biden because they think hes insent or the trump voter that doesnt like trump . Neb wants to tick off their original nobody wants to tick off their original party because they dont know which side its going to the pull. So the ramifications for doing a no labels ticket, as you can see, all these people from nikki haley, chris christie, all these people are, like, no. Joe manchin. Nobodys doing it because nobody if wants to be the spoiler alert saying that theyre to blame for it. Neil well, you know, to her point, doug, a lot of those names from joe manchin to chris christie, nikki haley seemed to have dismissed that. Larry hogan, the former maryland governor, decided to run for senate, so that takes him out. Then you go down the list, and its not quite as a impressive. I dont mean that to disparage anyone else, but theyre not as well known. So you have to deal with that besides raising money, besides getting on ballots. And theres one other issue, neil. With robert f. If kennedy jr. A Candidate Polling anywhere from 715 of the vote, some of the vote that would be expected to go to a credible no labels candidate if, in fact, they come up with one, i think is naturally going to robert f. Kennedy neil he wont even be on all State Ballots as things stand now, right . Yes. At this point he aspirationally wanted to be, he could make a deal with the libertarian thes. But even if hes on some State Ballots, neil, it makes the bar a higher one for no labels. Jeff duncan, a good man, certainly, i dont believe can attract National Support and midwest of all National Finance most of all, National Finance should he go forward. Neil yeah, its a tough road. It is. Neil noel, donald trump, of course, his search for a Vice President ial running mate and, of course, its a wide list, but it was an issue that the included mike pompeo. I had mike pompeo on to talk about that. You might be surprised at his answer, or may not. Take a look. Its flattering that my name comes up. I had a chance to serve for four years and didnt completely blow it, so some people say, hey, it might be possible hed get another swing. You know, i dont often comment on jobs ive not been offered but, neil, youve known me that if i get a chance to serve and think that i can make a difference, im almost certainly going to say yes to that opportunity to try and deliver on behalf of the american people. Neil what do you they of think of of that, noel . I think he gave you an honest answer. I think if trump asked him to serve as vp and run with him, i think he just told you that 100 hes in. And actually, i think a lot of people given the opportunity to be the vp considering that, you know, trumps not going to run again and and basically the job would be theirs to run for 2028, so is i think that hes in for the job if hes asked. Neil all right. Well watch closely. Guys, thank you for coming in on a saturday, nasty weather outside. Much appreciated. Thank you. Neil in the meantime here in new york a lot of people had to sort of scratch their eyes and what is the National Guard doing at my Train Station . Well, trying to deal with crime.

Neil already, heres how bad crime has gotten in new york, particularly in new york city transportation centers, Train Stations and the like. The National Guards coming to the rescue to help out there to make sure people do what theyre supposed to do there and simply go to and from where they have to go and nothing else. Alexis mcalso a also has more from the big apple mcadams. Reporter hey, neil, frombwan the platform or people getting pushed onto the subway tracks, theres been a surge of Violent Crime in the big apple, so new yorks governor had to do something about it, now adding the National Guard and the state police. Take a look, we want the show you what people are going to see on their morning and evening commutes in new york city. Youre going to see the National Guard along with state police and more law enforcement. 750 National Guardsmen and 250 new York State Troopers are being deployeded into the subway system. Thats in addition to the 1,000 nyp if d officers that were added in the Transit System in february. Along with the extra manpower, nypd officers will also conduct random bag checks, were told, which we have seen a little bit of happening so far. Subway riders we spoke with say safety is a top concern. Youve always got to watch your tobacco no matter what you do. No matter what you do. Reporter this new plan follows a spike in violent subway crime. These crimes on the screen are all happening recently at Subway Stations across the city. From january to february, there were 3 murders in the subway system, okay . And in january subway crime was up 46 compared to last year according to nypd data. We have had a series of high profile crimes that have shaken the security of new yorkers. People are feeling unsafe and wont with come, then i have to do something about it. Reporter nypd chief of Patrol John Shell says Transit Crime has dropped since adding officers in february. He blamed the crimes on Repeat Offenders and and wrote i have a solution, lets try this. When we arrest recidivists, we arraign, indict, prosecute and incarcerate. Lets Fix Bail Reform by eliminating Discovery Restraints so the k. A. S can d. A. S can incarcerate recidivists. Some new yorkers are not convinced this is really all about safety and security. Republican councilman joe borelli tells me this is all a big political stunt by the governor of new york and said if she really cared about fixing things, she would Fix Bail Reform. Well keep an eye on that. Neil alexis, thank you very much. One of those trying to Fix Bail Reform, the suffolk if county, new york, executive. Bail reform laws as they are, executive, allowed four suspects back on the street after they were arrested related to some body parts found in several locations across long island, and that just blew a lot of peoples minds. How did Something Like that happen . If it happened. Its happening now. It did happen now, and its incredible. You can carve someone up, you can take a corpse, carve it up and spread the limbs all over like they did in Suffolk County and still walk out of a court. No bail, not being held. The laws of the state have gone too far. Fentanyl, which is a deadly drug, you have to sell 8 ounces to be held for bail. That can kill 100,000 people. Weve got to hold criminals responsible. Weve got to make sure that justice prevails and innocent people are protected and the guilty are prosecuted. That is not whats happening in this state. We need changes in our bail laws, and we need changes in our Criminal Justice system. Neil you know, in the case of these guys who were are released after being arrested on this body parts stuff, the argument was it was nothing that unequivocally tied them the that. So they couldnt do anything but let hem go. What dow wrote make of that . . Do you make of that. Thats absolutely true because of the Discovery Laws in New York State which force you to turn over information very, very quickly. So if you dont if you havent finished your investigation, you cant charge them with murder because you havent finished, you havent done the forensics, you havent done the things that are necessary. All you can charge them with was carving up a body. And if that, apparently, is not baileligible. And the judge had to let them out. What does that say about the laws in New York State . The legislature went too far, and its time to pull that back and start thinking about the ultimate aim of justice; protect the innocent, prosecute the guilty. Neil but were not doing that. And im just wondering, its very different than it used to be because weve loosened this up considerably. A lot of people advocated that jails were crowded, but its open season, right . Its actually open season. Theres a long list of things that if i read off to you that are not required, youre not required to keep people or post bail, or youd be amazed. People are amazed, saying you mean they carved up this bowed and threw the parts in different parks in Suffolk County and we cant charge them, we cant hold them, we cant require or a bail . No, we cant under the state laws. The state went too far. The legislature went too far. In listening to those that run in the with the Criminal Justice system. Neil all right. It is amazing. Executive, thank you very much. We enjoyed seeing you. Keep us posted on how youre moving in this fight to at least toughen that part of our criminal system up. When we come back, well, he mentioned her name. Might have screwed up her first name, but he did mention her name. What the Secretary Of State of georgia, brad reffens berger, thinks of that. Lincoln, lincoln riley, an innocent young woman who was killed by an illegal. Scout is protected by Simparica Trio and hes in it to win it Simparica Trio is the first chew with triple protection.

Neil all right, in georgia it was a big deal when the president finally did mention laken rileys name, the student killed by an illegal immigrant in the state of georgia. That states Secretary Of State, Brad Raffensperger, kind enough to join us. Always good to have you. Well, he did mention her name. He screwed up the first name, but he did mention her name. Did that change anyones mind in your state concerned about the reports that she was killed allegedly by an illegal immigrant, or what was the fallout . Morning, neil. Actually, i dont think keeping it real, i dont think President Trump was president , excuse me, President Biden is doing that well right now in georgia. Were looking at open borders, were looking at inflation. Those two issues already had people pretty agitated in georgia. But that Brute Ifal Murder at uga of laken riley just really took it to a whole different level. People are furious here in georgia. So i dont know what kind of welcome hes going to get. I know hes not going to cherokee county, and thats really where he needs to go today, apologize to the family, say hes going to do a better job and actually secure the border. My job, obviously, is to make sure we have fair and honest elections. Voters top concern, actually, right now is Voter Integrity as it relates to noncitizen voting. And that thats why ive asked the General Assembly to pass a constitutional amendment that only american citizens vote. Ive been pushing this and promoting this since 2018. Its time we actually do this. With this open border policy, thats voters number one concern. So thats what im looking at, making sure we have a safe and secure election in 2024. Neil let me ask you about that [inaudible] that murder was horrible. Neil im sorry, sir. It was a shock in your state e when donald trump lost, there was a recount, safe republican state. You lost two senates who became democrats, considered unthinkable a little more than a few years prior. Donald trump was never happy with the count going on, the recount further showed it was the closest contest in the nation. I believe less than 12,000 votes separating the two men. You say this go around it looks better for donald trump if hes the nominee. It does just because of what bidens failed border policies. And look at our high inflation. We are where we are, and thats the politics side. Were making sure that we have secured the election. We now have photo id for all forms of voting, and were expecting a big turnout. We want to make sure that people have confidence in the results, and i want to make sure that we also in the General Assembly while were in session that we ban foreign funding of my elections. Obviously, theres a federal prohibition, but theres actually a loophole that you can actually have is foreign funding on state elections. So we need to ban that. We also want to make shower if youre a lobbyist for a foreign entity be it china, russia, iran, north korea or any other foreign entity, that You Register9 with the state so that theres full transparency. Well be ready. We expect it to be a wild time again like it was in 2020. We want to show fair, honest and accurate elections, and the results will be the results. I do my job [inaudible] neil meanwhile, the i got it. Sir. The trial thats looking into what role the president might have played in the recount that was going on in georgia seems to have veered into a circus with the Fani Willis Situation and the, you know, the love relationship with this other prosecutor. Fact of the matter is a lot of people think that she should be thrown off the case or maybe the case itself thrown out. Your thoughts. With my thoughts is thats really looking backwards, and thats their focus on that. What i will say im very impressed with the judge. Hes already been very clear that he is, you know, making shower that he follows the law, does whats right. Making sure that he follows the law. After hes thoughtfully considered everything, my focus is really making sure were ready and prepared for 2024 elections. Already, you know, going back to noncitizen voting, were actually having people suing us right now. The New Georgia Project was founded by stacey abrams. Theyve gotten together with other leftwing organizations, and theyre suing us to stop us from doing citizenship verification. We think thats really important, that we stop them, and ill take that all the way to the supreme court. We want to make shower that the only people that vote make sure that the only people that vote in georgia are american citizens. Thats whats going on with us right now. Neil there might be an outside candidate crashing this twoparty repeat from last time, and that is jeff duncan, your former Lieutenant Governor. His name has come up as a no labels candidate. What do you think of that . Well, whoever that a person is thats running for president , i want them all to know that were going to stage a secure and fair elections, and the winner will be something that we will be able to say with high confidence only american citizens voted and what the results are neil and you think the state is up to that. You are, obviously, up to supporting the republican nominee . We are focused on the president ial primary. I know its probably baked in already whos going to win on both those sides, but thats a great trial run, and that starts march 12th, this coming tuesday. So then well be following up with the primaries we have in, you know, may. And so well have an awful neil are you personally supporting don trump as the republican nominee . And as the Secretary Of State, ive been very clear i dont endorse candidates because im the chief election official. My job is for everyone to have confidence we have a safe, secure, honest election. And im going to do my job like i always have. And thats what people want, that your election official will do their job. Neil reelected by a large margin because people are impressed how youre doing that job is. Secretary, thank you very much. Thank you, neil. Neil all right.

He will sooner Bash Corporations and rich people, but when it comes to corporations, the Whole Shrinkflation thing and thats making inflation worse with. Madeleine riveras been looking into this and what to make of it. Reporter hey, good morning, neil. President biden is touting the economy pointing to low unemployment numbers, job gains and cooling inflation even as polls show a lot of voters arent giving him credit for those economic markers. So president says he wants to do more the wild the build the middle class, and hes unveiling a number of social spending initiatives that he wants to take on if he wins a second term. Listen. We enacted tax credits, almost 800 per person per year to reduce Health Care Costs for millions of working families. I want to provide an annual tax credit that will give americans 400 a month for the next two years as Mortgage Rates cut down. Reporter the president says he wants corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair fair share, and hes blaming tax cuts as the reason why the countrys debt is so high. But republicans arent buying that. They think back to the American Rescue plan, that 1. 9 trillion 1. 9 trillion Stimulus Bill that democrats passed in 2021 to recover from the pandemic. Several Economic Experts agree that legislation contributed the Pain Inflation that has dropped since its peak in the summer of 20202 but still remains higher than the Federal Reserves 2 target. He talks about this tax credit to purchase a home . The reason why mortgage Interest Rates are the highest theyve been in more than two decades is because of bidens economic policies. Reporter from the last fox news poll, only 37 of voters approve of the president s handling of the economy. Part of the reason why the president and some members of his administration are fanning out across the country in the coming days to sell what they see as their accomplishments. Neil. Neil thank you for that, madeleine rivera. Have a nice weekend. I did have a chance to catch up with jared bernstein, chair of the president s council of economic advisers on this whole inflation thing, got his thoughts on whos to blame. Take a listen. The fed is absolutely contributing to these outcomes. Were not going to get into Monetary Policy neil well, they eased that demand by raising the rates. Not enough to kill it off, but enough to adjust it to the point where the trend is more the friend right now. But thats their doing. I dont think its particularly contentious at all to say that much of the disinflation weve seen has come from improvements on the supply side and that, yes, our administrations fingerprints are on that. Neil all right. I could see what hes saying about the Supply Side Thing and opening up supply, bottlenecks and all that, but the fact of the matter is if youre wondering why inflation is at least off its highs, or you might want to credit the Federal Reserve hiking Interest Rates. Not a pretty way to do it, but thats the part thats gotten this slightly more under control. Gary kaltbaum, one of the smartest market guys i know. Also speaks english [laughter] i wouldnt say this is a right or left thing, this is an economics 101 thing. You know, you spend too much and inflation goes up, and the only way to correct that, by and large, is to raise rates. Thats whats been happening. Maybe it starts reversing soon. But for the time being, thats why inflation has gotten a little better. What do you think . Inflation is better, the Inflation Rate is down, but i think everybody has to remember its what we pay for things. And if something went up 10 last year and 3 this year, the rates down, but youre still paying 13 higher than you used to. And, neil, it really is across the board. If you look at insurance, like home insurance, health insurance, auto insurance, its skyrocketed. And i think theyve really got to stop the blame game. You know, you had harry truman that had on his desk the buck stops here, and it just seems these people its the buck stops everywhere else. And if i remember when oil prices skyrocketed, they said it was the putin price hike, and then they came down, and all of a sudden they took credit. And then it went up again, it was the putin price hike, it came down again, they took credit. Its got to stop. This should partner with business and stop blaming business. Business just wants to maintain their profit margins, do good things. I dont think theyre gouging as a whole. But, hey, youve got to blame somebody. Its election year. Neil well, i bill a career on it. [laughter] i take credit, we have a great show. I blame everyone around me here if its a bad show. I get that part of it. Politics in an election year. Of gary, i want you to respond to this when i caught up with the Transportation Secretary, he thinks the solution and the continued improvement will be based on the administration doing more of what it did. I want you to respond to this. I think a lot of energy out there is going into talking down the economy. The president s job is to point out whats going right. And just as importantly, what were seeking to do for the future to continue lowering costs and growing the economy. The numbers, obviously, are remarkable. Alltime record high in terms of job creation under one president. Lowest up i employment unemployment, certainly the longest its been below 4 since before i was born. Were proud of the progress weve made on the president s watch and pushing hard to make even more. Neil all right. What i was interested in his remarks always all the billions more in Infrastructure Spending to come to further goose that. About 5 billion more. But leaving that aside, more of what maybe got us in this hole in the first place if were not careful. What do you think . Neil, with the spending, i keep hearing the word massive, but massive left the building many moons ago. A lot of people not talking about this. Theyve increased the size of government, Government Spending over 50 since 2019. The spending this year is going to be more than the covid years. And ive got news for you, inflation, the definition, too much money chasing too few things, that is the definition. And i worry Going Forward. The other part of the equation, and ive it would you this before, while we talk inflation, i worry about the bond market based on all the debt thats coming up Going Forward. Economics 101 states the more debt, the more lenders are going to want yields for that debt to take on the risk. So worry Going Forward, and i or worry that one day maybe the bond market wakes up and were at a 7 and mortgages are at 9 and then look out below. So i worry theyre taunting markets, taunting the economy with this profligate spending, and ive got to tell you, neil, they dont care. They go on the state of the Union Address and say theyre cutting deficits and cutting debt, and if you just look at the chart, its vertical at this point in time, and its a shame. Neil yeah. Actually, debt has increased exponentially as it has under every president. Well see what happens, gary. Always good seeing you, my friend. Thank you very much. Thank you, neil. Neil all right. This antisemitic antisemitism is now rocking another institution, m if it. Were on that after this america i e t. Were on that after this. Connected . Uld be for me, cosentyx works on both. Cosentyx helps real people find clear skin. And in psoriatic arthritis, can mean less joint pain, and help stop further joint damage. Serious allergic reactions, severe Skin Reactions that look like eczema, and increased risk of infections some fatal have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen. See me neil you know, they might as well call it the iiivy is league because two jewish students are suing america it over allegations of mit over alleges of antisemitism molly line has more. Reporter theyre looking for information about how mit has responded to reports of antisemitism on campus including, quote, numerous deeply troubling incidents including a propalestinian lob lobby blockade that physically prevented students from getting to class in early november. When the Work Force Committee chairwoman virginia foxx, republican of north carolina, signed that letter to mit, she was joined by a jewish grad student. Antisemitism, in specific that hatred of jews and hatred of those who support israel, is a huge problem, and there are violent terrorist supporters on our campuses making it really an unsafe academic environment, social environment for all people on these campuses. Reporter this letter is the first sent by the committee to mit leaders including the president , sally corn blut, since that now infamous hearing in december when she a appearedded alongside the president s of harvard and upenn, all failing to arctic rate that calling for the genocide of jews would be against the rules. Claudine gay and liz magill ultimately stepping down. Also two jewish students have filed a Federal Civil Rights lawsuit against mics t this week with arguing the school approves of antisemitim activities on campus. Mit has responded with this saying that the institute does not comment if on pending litigation. As for the fox letter, mit confirms they are examining it and, quote, mit is committed to providing a response to the committees questions. Neil . Neil molly, thank you for that.

Neil all right, they say things like bad things happen in threes, so maybe these latest incidents regarding airlines or, or you know, a tire fell off one, a door fell off another another, kind of and then, of course, this one plane that was skidding off a unway. These runway. These are isolated incidents, but they get attention because theres video. A former faa safety team representative, kyle, i always feel calm after talking to you because you isolate these to say flyings still very safe is. I get that, youre right. But these type of instances popping up as they do and more frequently make me wonder. Yeah. A lot of the stuff thats always a happened in the past, blown tires on airplanes, yes, its very rare that it will actually fall on an employee if parking lot at an airport, but everything now is under the microscope. The bottom line is your chance of getting killed in a plane crash is about 1 in 11 million. Your chance of getting killed in a car crash in your lifetime is about 1 in 93. So the numbers speak neil i hear all that, and statistically youre right. But the fact of the matter is i wonder about the upkeep and the maintenance on these planes especially when the ntsb comes after boeing to say youre not being forthright, youre not getting back to us, youre not being proactive about this. Then i start to wonder, do we have an inherent paint nance and Safety Problem maintenance and Safety Problem . So the airlines do a phenomenal job at safety, the large airlines. The issue were seeing with boeing is with these suppliers, these Third Party Suppliers that are not under direct control. So is boeing a little bit too big . I mean, thats what i think. Is it just this huge conglomerate neil theyre the only guys weve got in this country. Theres air bus abroad with, but should we be concerned . We should be concerned. And on the flip side, airbus is doing it right. We dont see this happening with airbus. Thats the interesting part about it. So is boeing really too big, and do they really need to the take back these Third Party Suppliers and put them under the boeing umbrella like it used to be 30 or 40 years ago . Thats the question neil but these suppliers, its like when you have contractors working on your house, right . If i talk to subcontractors who are brought in and i dont know whos who, but i know the contractor that i hired. And now im surprised to learn, oh, this is a subcontractors fault. Thats whats worrisome. Yeah. And theres just so many parts on an airplane. Its not like a car where you bring it to your mechanic, you hear a sound. The airplanes are so complex, theres so many parts. And in some instances when with the door blowing out initially, they were really, im sure, really who did that modification. Was it boeing or was it the third party supplier. Neil we got lucky with that door thing, right . Had that alaska air flight been much higher altitude, it could have been yeah. If that was up at cruising altitude, this would have been a scene from what you would see in an airplane movie. The airplane would have blown apart, and we probably would have mass fatalities in that instance. Neil do you think people i know what youre saying back to the numbers and all of that, kyle, but a lot of people have gotten a little too cocky about it then . If well, the odds of a plane crash, they just dont happen anymore, i can relax. We just remember the 10th Anniversary of this Malaysian Air flight that went missing, still missing after a decade. And thats as far back as a lot of people go and think, well, maybe were over this. Do they get too resigned, too selfconfident . Yeah, i mean, everybody should be confident. And the case with boeing is, you know, after their merger with Mcdonald Douglas are decades ago, some have said that theres a little bit too much of an emphasis on, you know, on the bottom line numbers and not on safety. And, you know, the faa and everybody involved really has to look at that under a microscope which theyre starting to do now to make sure that the priorities are straight. And i think in all fatherness to the boeing, the new fairness to the new boeing ceo, i think hes actually being very proactive in his reacting to these incidents that we have seen of recent. Neil real quickly, do you pick and choose if you hear the mane youre going on is a max plane, do you not take it . You know, neil, as i told you earlier before the segment, airplanes so safe, even as a pilot its really unfathomnd how Safe Air Calf is. And the bottom line to your viewers watching today, they should have no hesitation or worry about getting on an airplane, especially with spring break coming up. Neil all right. Im just angry hat guy in front of me puts the seat back down. [laughter] really . Kyle, thank you very much. So good seeing you in person.
