Your comment on Trump’s DEI statement was on the mark. Excellent.
I did bad things and made mistakes by following the training i was given , i can admit that , when i was young i learned very early that life was very difficult
Scott, pitched another gem 💎 great show today
Politicians should wear uniforms like NASCAR.
Did they miss the day before? An American Airlines flight originating in Connecticut en route to Reagan Airport was forced to abort its landing due to a helicopter just one day before an American Airlines flight collided with a Blackhawk helicopter.
According to FlightAware, American Airlines flight 4514 from Windsor Locks, Connecticut was forced to loop around after a helicopter crossed its flight path near Reagan Airport on Tuesday evening.
Massie should be on everyone's list as a person they need to go to dinner with. He is simply brilliant and a great teacher.
Adams persuasion tip of the day - do not argue when you have no argument.
Have you ever tried using any self-awareness at all before posting? 😅
DEI has been a Major Part of Our "System"
I'm a pilot. It is very hard to see other aircraft at night over a developed area. The airspace issue is the real issue.
And as DJT said, the chopper was obviously too high.
Can you not read your altimeter?
I guess you can't read it with the night vision goggles on, if the altimeter is too far to the left or too far to the right.
@@woodym2 -- It's not clear whether they were using those goggles. A night flying chopper as low altitudes usually has a "landing light" which lights up the terrain (or water) he is flying over. The night vision stuff is for night when for combat security reasons, the chopper doesn't show any lights and neither does anyone else. It would be silly to use "night vision" equipment when everything is lit up. Of course military pilots do practice night vision flight but not within the limits of Washington, DC.
If the chopper was flying twice as high as it was supposed to be the maximum then they just weren't paying attention to the altitude. It's not even the instruments: just look down where your light hits the water. Big difference between 200' and 400'.
@GilmerJohn thanks! I was musing off a report that claimed the image the goggles give lacked some of the peripheral vision. I appreciate the info
How about not having any helicopters flying near the airport unless it's Trump's copter. Take a cab or bus.
Our "main bank" around here is Truist. It has branches in several/many states. Our local gun club used to use its checking account services but when they looked into other services to include a letter of credit they go a run around. It's wasn't "de-banking" but it was a half step away. The club switched to a regional bank and all the problems went away.
The reason they (& we) became customers of Truist in the first place was the BB&T bought another regional bank we were using. Then they changed the name. The lesson is to strongly consider switching banks when your local or regional bank get brought up.
A simple way to understand money printing is that it's just counterfeiting by a different name. If you print fake money and buy things, you're taking them from the pool without giving anything of value in return. It's just theft.
counterfeiting shouldn't be punished, I'm just helping the Fed execute its monetary policy
I get it now. Scott's podcast is to display his super intelligence.
1:03 Skip the BUM BUM BUM
1:47 Skip the Sip
lol
But it's the height of human civilization . . .
Scott, yes, you are wrong because the military kinda does their own thing often. You don't think the military breaks rules? It's long proven history shows that, and people even admit it. That may not apply in this case, but yes, they do break "rules" and lie, even though that violates their code of honor.
A senior officer breaking a rule set by an outside organisation because it threatens the mission and/or servicemen’s lives is one thing. Subordinates breaking rules set by their superior officers is quite another.
So much for not swearing this year.
Vaccines are very profitable for doctors as well as pharmaceutical companies. Doctors now administer about 72 vaccines to children in contrast to decades ago when children got four vaccines and doctors get paid for each visit .
What about the radar?
The CRJ was on VFR at the time. The tower asked the BH if it had visual on “the” CRJ…there were two and the tower didn’t specify location. Lots of good experts on FoxNews yesterday and last night, unlike social media, esp X, where all of last week’s fire experts are now aviation experts.
You do a great Bernie impersonation!
I watched a video replay of the screen being viewed by the air traffic controller that reported the communications between the Tower and the 2 aircraft as well as their transponder locations and direction of motion. It showed the last contact with the helicopter was seconds before the crash where it was at 200 Feet Altitude. How could the helicopter be “hundreds of feet” above the approved altitude?
The American Airlines jet was 350 Feet at its last communication, seconds before the crash. It had been given clearance to land, was descending, and had the right of way over the helicopter. The jet’s pilots were likely concentrating on landing and did not see the helicopter. City lights may have also made it difficult for the helicopter pilots to notice the AA jet.
The Tower asked the helicopter pilot if he saw the American Airlines jet. The helicopter answered the tower that it had visual contact on the jet. This was the first problem. If the tower asked the helicopter pilot if he saw the AA jet at 11 o’clock, the helicopter pilot would’ve been aware he was looking at the wrong plane and may have had time to correct the problem. There was time for additional communication from the Tower to tell the helicopter pilot how they wanted them to avoid the plane by passing behind the AA jet. The crash occurred very shortly afterwards.
There was only One air traffic controller handling communications with both the AA jet and the helicopter, when normally there should’ve been Two. The shortage of air traffic controllers could’ve contributed to the accident by a delay in communication, since the One controller had to speak with each aircraft separately on different frequencies. But the failure to specify the direction from where the AA jet was closing on the helicopter could’ve caused the collision. In a congested airspace such as Reagan International, this information is critical.
DEI could be a possibility as to why the Tower was short Air Traffic Controllers on this night. Other factors, such as the helicopter pilots possibly wearing night vision goggles may have prevented them from noticing the AA jet.
Thanks for this, which all came out yesterday via various experts on FoxNews, but the geniuses here and on X don’t need actual facts, etc.
Tulsi said "While he revealed important facts about the NSA which is unconstitutional. He violated rules about protecting classified secrets." "He broke the law" she said several times. Which is the right answer. In other words she isn't willing to pardon him.
There is nuance in the truth: He broke the law, AND he was a whistleblower who went out of his way to keep people safe in how he revealed his findings. He was accurate about what he revealed, and Congress addressed it, thus validating his findings.
Can Scott reprogram his "smart" democrat friend?
No
I think he keeps trying...he might have finally gotten him with the 'FINE PEOPLE' HOAX.
fergal is already too far gone. 😋
@ Wasn’t that the refrain in a Bobby Bare song? LOL
Adam Schiff has his office phone turned off
~11:25 reminds me of sending “Stop replying to all” emails by replying to all.
I’ve been going after the “being safe” thing for ten years. Read Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The only book I’ve ever sent hard copies of to all my grown children.
Stop apologizing. It’s DEI even if the male heli instructor messed w the female pilot in training because he’s fed up with DEI.
hard to spot the jet - That's why it was the responsibility of the Traffic Controller call out commands to the chopper to get down - period !!!!
ATC should have reminded the chopper of the altitude it should be kept below. When you are in touch with ATC both sides should know the altitude (as well as velocity and position).
Sanders is like that kid who really wants to get accepted into the cooler gangs but just ends up being the butt of every practical joke and doing everyone's homework. What exactly is the point of him? Can't he just go away?
So you're saying he's a good person who gets bullied by people that think they're cool? What makes something "cool" is subjective. Looking back a lot of the cool people weren't that cool in hindsight.
Not quite. He's the gamma male that was really obnoxious and annoyed people, and was never invited to the parties, so he would call the police on the parties.
You're just describing someone that gets taken advantage of. 😂
@@DingleBerryschnapps You actually started your reply with "so you're saying..." Come on. Now I gotta get the Cathy Newman.JPG out! Lol. However you are correct that the "cool gang" in my analogy are not really that cool at all, given that I'm talking about the democrats/the swamp.
Sales and marketing aren't lying. It's putting the best prospective on what you can make and sell.
Caveat emptor.
For example. That heart treatment that Scott was talking about. It’ll spend 10 years in the clinic and the drug cos will spend over $1billion in shareholder cash to develop it, only to have it shot down by an fda advisory committee in year 5. It’s completely bogus how long and hard it is for healthcare innovations to get to market. And people are dying in the process.
Wait a minute Scott. What happened to “embrace and amplify”?
Any aircraft in the DC airspace has to be a stringent rule follower. Way to many restricted areas and a lot of them are national security zones where deadly force is the default.
And you never, ever, fly above your ceiling without express permission of the airspace controller, that goes double around an airfield.
too many F bombs at the end.
“complete idiot” does the job.
A lot of countries had birthright citizenship. France removed its on January 1, 1994.
It should be made clear, they vote Tulsi in or they will regret it.
Do you think she lost because of racism and misogyny? Yes
Did you think racism and misogyny was going to affect the outcome? Yes
Were you trying to win? Yes
Can you see where this is going?
The voice record of the flight is already released, and the positions of all the aircraft concerned. It was heli pilot error. DEI sucks but this crash was pilot error.
Among U.S. senators, some of the largest recipients of contributions from the pharmaceutical and health products industry include Senator Mitt Romney, who has received over $3.3 million, and Senator Bob Casey, with over $1.7 million in contributions. Other notable senators include Bernie Sanders, who received $1.5 million during his 2020 presidential campaign, and Elizabeth Warren, who has taken more than $5 million from the health industry over her career
Scott, China isn't sending 'fentanyl', they're sending the precursors to manufacture fentanyl to Vancouver and Mexico. So it's a little more complex than you make it out to be.
He has pointed that out in the past several times
Pointless distinction.
Your politics reflect your morals. Your morals are reflected in your politics. The 'your' is the general your and applies to all of us. This incident was at R National(it is an airport used by the politicians from tiny population states and by politician and big wig helicopter flights). If the piloting of the copter does turn out to be the trans person, that speaks volumes.
I used to fly out of National several times a month. It was quite convenient for more of the folks in the area. It took decades for Dulles to catch on. The FAA paid for a 4 lane highway to get folks to even consider using it.
Despite their intent to expand the air traffic control hiring pool via DEI, the FAA has recently admitted they are "woefully understaffed and that current air traffic controllers are severely overworked." One report found that only 3 of the 313 air traffic facilities around the nation met the FAA target last year. this has forced the agency to admit safety could be jeopardized. To mitigate such danger, the agency has at times halted departures or otherwise slowed down air traffic.
How would you know what job your campaign contributors had unless you were running background checks on them? Are you running background checks on your contributors senator?
Anyone with any military experience knows that accidents happen frequently. They happen at Camp Pendleton, Ft. Bragg, etc., but those stories disappear in one day, nationally, even if fatalities. Many make nothing more than a passing entry in a local paper.
What you mean is that chopper (to include Osprey) accidents happen often. Even when 20 folks are killed, the story only lasts a day or so.
Both pilots were wearing night vision goggles.
Trump aware then most on aviation. As owner of aircrafts himself and following regulations. He has authority to speak. And he has more data regarding accident it self then most.
Afraid, he is maybe more knowledgeable than a lay person but he is far from an aviation expert. I wish he would defer to experts. Aviation Experts would be very cautious about jumping to conclusions. Love Trump, but he has his limitations.
The helicopter called traffic in sight and requested he be allowed to maintain visual separation. He did not maintain visual separation and exceeded his route’s max altitude.
There but for the grace of god, go I….
I do think all the TH-cam channels with female soldiers from different countries doing tik tok dances are bad. Mind you, I enjoy watching these videos, but they shouldn’t be shaking their booties in uniform. Do that crap on your own time and not in the barracks in uniform. Serious security risks here IMHO.
Well, most soldiers put on a uniform when they get up and take it off before they go to bed. That's especially true if it's a fatigue type uniform (today's version is "Battle Dress Uniform" - BDU) but it's the same. If it's a class A uniform which is expensive to maintain, they might switch to civilian stuff when they get home. But when they party on base, they are wearing a uniform. Get used to it.
@@GilmerJohnI don’t see how their commanding officers tolerate it. Lots of information can be scraped from these videos. Too much info can be gleaned from their seductive tik toks, even for amateur observers.
Can't believe this behavior is not a violation of military code. As an American civilian, I think this behavior should not be allowed in American military uniform. "Get over it"? I don't like your attitude, mister! Show some respect. Show some class...
@@Mumtaz-ks8csit likely is especially when they film from the inside of cockpits and submarines.
@@Mumtaz-ks8cs -- To a good approximation, what GIs do on their off hours is their business. There are things they aren't to do as specified in the UCMJ and they must obey restriction put in place by their command authority. But, for example, the military has enjoyed music, singing, and dance for a long time (as least as long as the US has existed.) You seem to be under the impression that the command authority should go out the way to prescribe what GIs can or cannot sing or how they should or should not dance.
If you don't like it, write your congressman and get him to modify the UCMJ.
Pump rumps being shaken in uniform from barracks isn’t even the worst of it: Rumor is there have been tik toks from military personnel showing extremely sensitive information and locations, like the inside of cockpits and submarines, etc. it’s mind boggling to me to that this is being ignored.
When Scott was young children got four vaccines but since drug companies got immunity from liability children get 72 vaccines.
Anyone surprised that Scott is just now figuring out Bernie. 🤦
Maxine Waters always says that she doesn't answer yes or no questions.
The one where Scott learns, No, you do not have a Smart Democrat Friend. At least one of those criteria must be in your sweet, simple, shiny, tiny (probably) human 🧠.
My take is not DEI nor accident, but intentional works that we shall see more of, that all look like accidents all of a sudden. It's diabolical and I hope I'm wrong and just thinking such evil exist when it was just an accident.
But I ain't one to gossip... .
Those Blaming Elon ponder this :
A diary kept by President John F Kennedy as a young man travelling in Europe, revealing his fascination with Adolf Hitler, is up for auction.
Kennedy, then 28, predicted "Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived".
"He had in him the stuff of which legends are made," he continued.
Kennedy wrote the entry in the summer of 1945 after touring the German dictator's Bavarian mountain retreat.
It is thought by historians to be the only diary ever kept by the 35th US president
Don’t you mean 1935? By the summer of 1945, Hitler was dead and his Bavarian mountain retreat had been cleaned out by the US 101 Airborne Division.
It is fair to say even now that Hitler was indeed “significant” and “a legend.” Just not in a good way.
@donaldgraham6414 1945 it is. Iam sure. He wrote this after Hitler was dead.
Money = action, embarrassment = nothing
Yep.
You have to hit the back pocket.
Drugs add very little to lifespans
Most of the increase in lifespan over the last 100 years is from public health measures that greatly reduced mortality in early childhood . Reduction in the number of smokers has also increased lifespan.
As has the treatment of cardiac conditions.
CNN is blaming Trump
Next!
Shocker
Any new interpretation of the 14th shouldn't be retroactive.
Unless it has been intentionally misunderstood and gamed, and none of those anchor-babies ever had a claim.
Mr Aviation now.
He likely knows more about flying than, say, 80% of the public.
Donating but avoiding using company letterhead is still donating. We all know who works for pharma, it's a public list, just as public as his donation list.
Just a thought: not everyone has the money and the means to participate in the stock market. It could be a little discouraging or depressing to hear someone continually talk about their gains.
One doesn’t need a boatload of money to get started in the stock market fyi. You can buy fractional shares for pennies these days
Hi Scott. Do you thin your smart jewish friends are above conspirering against us, when they keep to themselves all the time?
Who is “keeping to themselves?” Ben Shapiro? Bernie Sanders? Benjamin Netanyahu? Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner?
Don’t you realise that you are talking about a very talkative and opinionated group of people, who are famous for disagreeing with each other?
Scott with an economics degree does not know tgat comunism does not work. 😂😂😂🎉😂😂😅😅
I never took econ 101 but it seems to me that Scott is conflating debt and deficit.
My seventh grade grammar teacher would correct you Scott… their tiny shiny human brain, not brains. Other than that, you’re the best.
But it's multiple brains -- plural -- ?
If you wanted to say brains, you would have to say their collective brains.
@@thomasrastocky3871What Scott says is perfectly grammatically correct.
@ Not the case. They are individual brains. Moreover, if it were collective it would be singular and then your grammar teacher would then complain about the s you added.
‘Nobody’ can understand… singular…brain
No Scott, emancipation was for the slaves themselves.
"Birth"right citizenship, applies to the kids.
👍🏻😎
But not to be a deliberate crash by the helicopter pilot, why did it go straight into the plane ala 9/11.
The main reason I do not believe anything Adams says is because he takes advertising. The other reasons are because he is a liar and a bullshitter.
That doesn't even make sense. 😆🙄
So do you watch his videos because of his devastating good looks, or are you just a masochist?
@@nobutur I watch his videos to call out his bullshit, I regard it as a civic duty.
Scott the genius completely missing the boat on cutting the deficit 😂
Scott is wrong about political donations. When you make a political donation, you are required to disclose your employer.
You are the wrong about how smart you think you are
You don't know a thing intel
@ he is the dumbest out of his already extremely dumb family
Hey idiots,,, he's actually correct... you have to disclose your employer and even if you want to be anonymous they will still ask you is there any way of disclosing the 5 w's,, where, what, who, when, and why?... so you little mice that's saying he is incorrect,,, NO YOU LITTLE BOTTOM FEEDERS ARE INCORRECT
not true. I never have, nor have ever been asked.
Reagan was short staffed Not enough ATCs. DEI ?
Scott is wrong about birthright citizenship. There is a difference between original intent and original meaning. Original intent is irrelevant because it is not the intent that gets ratified. The words themselves are what got ratified. So only the meaning of those words matter. And the actual words of the 14th Amendment are clear that all persons born in the United States are citizens. Those persons are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, because all the laws apply to them.
Well, the meaning of words back then is important. That''s what usually is meant by "original intent."
Can they be drafted? Then not subject to the jurisdiction.
@@GilmerJohn correct. Also, contemporaneous writings that expound on the topic add clarification. For example, the Federalist Papers.
Trump saying "that's not a very smart question" does not make the reporter look bad, it plays into what the reporter was doing. The reporter's job is to goad trump into saying things that make him look bad _to the reporter's audience._ Him basically saying "you're dumb" just makes him look like he doesn't have a good answer, which he doesn't, because he very rarely gives good answers. The audience will be talking about it around the water cooler, saying "ha, did you see that idiot Trump get owned by that reporter?" The reporter won that one.
Uh huh. For people like you, that is. :)
Well, DJT is playing to his supporters and not his detractors. The reporter was playing to an audience. BUT the reporter was taking up time and precluded the asking and answering of a question that would have been worth reporting on. Trump's approach drives that point home. He handles such reporter a lot better than, say, RR did. (Remember Sam Donaldson?)
@@GilmerJohn Fair point, people like the commenter above think Trump owned the reporter, CNN-watchers think the reporter owned him. The problem is that the media are the ones who can run clips 24/7.
@@eduardosuarez2414 Who cares what Leftards think. We won you lost! Trumpy can do and say what he likes Hahhahhaaaaaaa
Read the biography of the Blackhawk pilot and try to keep a straight face when you say DEI wasn't the issue.
Wrong person, lots of BS on X
@@notidentified4031so it wasn’t a trans with TDS and less than 500 flying hours? Wtfks what is true in x. I hate x for this reason.
@@jsilverman1948Correct, supposedly. That person has posted on FB since…supposedly. There are so many crackpots on X.
Sorry Scott, closing the embassy doesn't hurt their pocketbooks...... you have to hurt the pocketbooks.
Anything that causes Red Chinese stuff to be delayed at customs (to include paying tariffs) is a good thing.
Musk is a gaffe machine w/ low impulse control. I predict this will come back to haunt the Trump admin.
I like that about him. He seems more human than many humans. 😆

Adams thinks the US is the only country in the world to offer unrestricted birthright citizenship. There are 32 other countries doing so. One more topic that Adams is not qualified to pontificate on.
List them then. 😁
1. Canada.
It was dumb for Trump to come out this early and blame DEI. It made him look like an idiot.
He knows more than we do and he IS right. DEI has destroyed the competence of our military and industry. Would you feel safe using a DEI/trans doctor for instance? Or getting on a plane with a DEI pilot? Not me!
Lol... everything Trump does is for a very good reason! I would think you would realize that by now?
To you maybe.
It was ill-advised for him to do it so early, yes. But his goal is probably what Scott said - bring it up as often as possible until it becomes a mainstream discussion. Scott often completely misreads how Trump comes off. "That's not a smart question" is also a bad way of handling that. The answer should have been something like "If it turned out that DEI had something to do with the crash, then I would think that the other families would want to know that, demand that something be done about it, and take some comfort in knowing that we're going to smash DEI." Trump isn't capable of giving an answer like that.
DJT is picking up a technique from several democRAT administration: Let no tragedy go un-exploited.
He wasn't "hundreds of feet" higher, he was at 300 feet, 100 feet higher than allowed. For context, 100 feet can be gained or lost in about 4 seconds
Maybe. But when flying near an active runway approach it behooves the pilots to pay attention to the altitude. Trump is right: the chopper was at the wrong altitude. Perhaps had ATC reminded them, they would have gone lower.
@GilmerJohn yes Noone is doubting the chopper was in the wrong 100%. But turning it into a DEI debate is ridiculous. It was a horrible accident, and Noone wasted any time using it to leverage attacks. Republian and Democrats should be ashamed of themselves.
What makes scott think AI wont be able to lie to fulfill certain jobs?
