President Flying · Chuck Douglas

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This. This story bugs me simply because it should have been reported.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The Hill covered it ten hours ago. New York Times
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: covered it. I had not seen anything on Fox, CNN,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: whatever they're calling MSNBC these days. I haven't seen any
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of that. And it was not a tragedy, thank goodness. However,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the way that things are hyped today, this is a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: story that if a different person occupied sixteen hundred Pennsylvania,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: this would have been all over the place. President Trump
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: never in harm's way, according to the report here from
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the Hill, when his Marine one helicopter came within a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: mile of a passenger jet on Tuesday. Okay, Now, when
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you're moving five hundred miles an hour, a mile is
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: not very far. I'm just saying Marine one flights piloted
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: by some of the best dayvors in the world. At
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: no point was the President in harms way, said the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Whites House spokesperson. I don't even know how you say that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Cush Cush, Cush, Cush deer not even heard that name.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You see, military helicopter carrying Trump came less than a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: mile from the jet after the air traffic controllers that
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Reagan had to hault commercial flights or failed to hold
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: commercial flights before Marine one departed the White House, So well, yeah,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: when the president's taking off, everything else has to get
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: out of the way, or when he's landing, whether that's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Air Force one leaving an airport, or were Marine one
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: taking off of the White House and the people at
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Reagan failed to stop. The commercial air traffic ancident reportedly
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: occurred shortly after two thirty a arms sorry, two to
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: thirty PM, as Trump was flying to the base to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: depart Washington, d C for Los Angeles. Spokesperson for the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: FAA told The Hill that there was a momentary loss
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of sensation between the aircraft. Federal regulations require aircraft to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: maintain a safe distance from each other one point five
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: miles horizontally five hundred feet vertically. Air traffic controller was
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in contact with both the commercial pilot and Marine one
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: during the loss of separation. White House has said the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: President was never in danger. But again, if how long
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: it goes it has it been a year yet since
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: we saw the jet and the helicopter collide, Because yeah,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: this is one of those things where you would expect
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: all kinds of news coverage, even if they wanted to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: maintain the president wasn't in danger, nobody was hurt, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so forth. Just because that's the way media operates. They
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: need you to tune in at eleven, they need you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to click this link. That's what they do. And I
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was dumbfounded because I hadn't heard a thing about it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Mark actually brought it to my attention today because he
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: got a pop up or an email or something from
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the New York Times. And I'm think, if the New
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: York Times is covering it, where's the scroll on the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Fox News screen telling us about this? Just it seems
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: is very, uh, annoyingly out of the ordinary that that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that wasn't the case. Sales tax holiday is this weekend,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't know who's responsible for this silliness. I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: not sure if the legislature decides on the rules or
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: taxation decides on the rules, I don't know. But whoever
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it is, whoever is doing it, whoever's making up the rules,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I would like you here, I have a message for you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Straighten up. What are you thinking?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: What last year the sales tax holiday was what eleven days?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Twelve days? And pretty much any damn thing you bought
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you didn't pay sales tax on it. I'm pretty sure
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you could even go buy a new gut if you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to and you wouldn't pay sales tax on it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty extreme. That was pretty nuts.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We didn't need to, you know, twelve days or so
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of pretty much anything you buy, not sales taxing and
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: calling it a back to school event. If you don't
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: want to make it back to school event, that's fine.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: If you just want to give Ohioans a break for
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks on sales tack, that's fine, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: just be clear what it is this year this It
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: starts tomorrow and it's done Sunday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. That's it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It only applies to school stuff, school supplies or school clothes,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: clothing up to seventy five dollars. I believe it is
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: per item, but nothing else, which okay. If it's going
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to be a school event not a sales tech event,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that's fine, that's fine. But to limit it to just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: those three days, what about people who you know, they
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: live from paycheck to paycheck and paycheck ain't till next
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: weekend or it was last weekend, but they can't save
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a dollar man, because they're trying to feed the kids
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and keep the lights on. If you're going to make
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the list short, that's fine, but don't make it just
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a couple of days for goodness sake. Now when you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: had twelve days to go buy a new gun and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get sales tax off last year. That's just it's so
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: radical one side to the other. Let's find something in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the middle that works. Or maybe that's just me A
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: two one ninety eight six the number Rochelle, how are you?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Hey?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Check I'm doom all. I'll try to be cracked, but
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I just want to tell you, thank you, thank you,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: thank you so much for remembering that terrible accident that
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: happened between the helicopter and the jets. I mean it
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: maybe was I don't know, year, year and a half ago.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: It is a long time ago, but thank you for
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: remembering that, because I haven't forgotten about it. I don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: think we ever found out the exact result of that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: And then, you know, one other things real quick. A
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: few years ago, the CEO of United said he wants
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: more women and diversity in the pilots, and he set
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: a goal for fifty percent. But the thing that gets
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: me mad is maybe maybe the women they're not being
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: denied opportunities. Maybe they don't want to be at airline pilots.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I want things
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: touch on merit and training, not if it's a girl.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know, the idea that anybody should get or lose
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: anything based on their gender, or their skin color, or
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: their religion or whatever should be highly objectionable to everybody
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because it affects all of us. And I don't care
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: what you look like or who you are. Eventually, when
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you've got quote as you must hire this many of
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this kind of person or this many somebody who's completely
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: qualified and desperately needs a job won't get it because
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we need to We need to have more women in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that position. So sorry, dude, go feed your kids another
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: way that never works. And we and we shouldn't be.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Who was I talking to last night? I forget who
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I had this conversation with last night. Oh no, it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: was the guy at Van Skoy get my hair done.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we were talking about that. The fact that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: back and back in my days, I always harken back
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to the eighties because they were so glorious. Because we
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: we come through the you know, love and p seventies.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And we had turned into basically happy, optimistic people in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the eighties. And and you didn't need to tell us
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we needed to appreciate diversity. We didn't need a law
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for that. We were buying Boy George records for God's sake.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: We were diverse. We didn't hate the one percent. We
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: aspired to be the one percent. You remember, I.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Want money, lots and lots of money. We all wanted
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: to fly to the moon man. We saw things were
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: so wonderful. Then suddenly, fifteen years later, we have.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: A government that's tell you you're all wrong. You need
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to accept this. We you can get in trouble if
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you don't accept it our way in that before anybody
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was telling us how to act, we were acting pretty dagone.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Well, yes, sir, thank you, charl I.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Appreciate your Rochelle. Thanks for the call. A two one
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ninety eight six A two one WTV And yeah, it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: was Oh. He was was brought up because we were
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: talking about old bands. He's you know, his first time
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I've dealt with Gauge was doing the hair today and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he was asking me favorite bands and favorite artists and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: so forth. Uh and Judas Priest came into the conversation
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and he was talking about having an argument because one
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of his friends goes, you know, you know, the guy
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: that stinks for Jews priests is gay? Right?
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: So what what what that had known since like nineteen
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: ninety six.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean Judas Priest rocks man at least
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they did. I don't know what they sound like these days,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but they were a great rock band. I loved him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Why would anybody care about that? Well, this was somebody
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: who was, you know, younger, and came about after the nineties,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and you got to remember, if you were born in
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: two thousand, you're already twenty six years old. They show
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: how backwards we went by asking that question. Guy lead
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: singer film is gay? Right? Nobody cared. I was a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: big fan of Queen. To found out about Freddy murch
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: He's kidding, you know. And the people who were surprised
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: when Freddie Mercury died and I didn't even know this guy,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I mean not tragically, but yes, tragically. He tried to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: tell you the name of the band was Queen. I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: come on that. He didn't hide any Freddie Murcury was
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: a flamboyant person, but Nobody cared why because the guy
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: sang like like he he was pulled out of the people,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: making ooze to do nothing but what he did, and
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: that is what we liked. Nobody cared about all the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: rest of that crap, and we were better off then.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But now the government says, you've got to have so
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: many people of this race and this this religion and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: this sexual preference, and just get out of the way
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and let people be people. If government let people be people,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think more people would let people be people and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: we'd all be people. Love people. So I should it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be you remember that song? No You're too young for
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that too? A two one WUTV and is my number?
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Deb on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com phone line.

• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was laughing the whole way there. But hey man, your
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: last caller Rochelle that that said. Though we never found
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: out who was at fault with the helicopter and the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and the airlines, it was the helicopter. I don't know
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: who doesn't follow news, but I mean I listened to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: everything I heard about it when it was like an
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: hour after it had happened, because I listened to different
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: radio stations. W I think it was w O s U.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I was listening to that this morning, Welcome, Welcome to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I can't.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I cannot, no, man, It's like, look, everybody's I made
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: fun of radio stations where where, well not so much anymore,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: but where like all the DJs have this. They all said,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: even the win medn't sound like the guys where It's like.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I was trying to make my point, I know, but I'm.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Just making fun of the fact that NPR people all
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: sound like that.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No, they don't. You don't listen to enough of it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: And there's they got some really good programs that you'd
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: be surprised by, Chuck, I'm really sure if you gave
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: them one day on, if you ever get a day
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: off with everything you got going on and just listen
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to it, you would be very surprised.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Well, if they'll listen to me for a day, I'll
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: listen to it for a day.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, I listened to you quite often, to the chagrin
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of some of my friends. But hey, I love you guys.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: And it was on the.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: News this helicopter plane acts Laurel. You know, thank God,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: nothing happened. Everything was okay, but it's been on the
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: news for days, so.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I remember, I see remember them coming to a conclusion
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: that somebody was at fault, but I didn't remember all
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the detail, so I didn't want.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: To argue it was the helicopter because they were using
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: night vision that the folks on the and it was
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: a training mission weren't really equipped to be able to use,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: so they were kind of not familiar with it. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: where the airplane. It is a major airline route, so
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the helicopter was found at fault, and the FAA decided
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: no helicopters can come around this area. You have to
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: give like a really like some five mile radius now
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: before you can fly in this area if there are
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: airplanes taken on or off the helicopter. The military was
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: at fault.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: And that all right. Well, I'm glad you remember it,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: because I could not remember the details. This is one
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: of the problems I have with paying attention to so
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: many things. There's only so much room, and stuff drops
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: off once it's Once it's done's not a topic good
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: conversation anymore. I start pushing the details out and I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: don't so I appreciate you, dad, Thank you very much.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Real already seriously serious. We have in this, please, we
• 13:14

• 13:23
  Speaker 1: figured out who Lord Huron is Andy banned from Los Angeles. Yeah,
• 13:28

  Speaker 1: I just don't know why it's such a big deal

  Speaker 3: So there's a life outside of eighties music.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: No, there's not. No, there's I see. I hate it
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: when you spread propaganda like that.
