Chapter 1: Why has the FAA closed airspace in El Paso?

0.031 - 28.303 Gio

News nuggets things out there that I found very interesting, one of which is this closed airspace in El Paso, Texas. So the FAA has closed down all flights going in and out of El Paso, Texas, and any flights getting near El Paso to a 10-mile radius for 10 days. So if you are an airplane that's going from one place to another and you're getting near El Paso, you can't.

0

28.805 - 38.408 Gio

If you're a plane that's trying to take off from El Paso, you can't. If you're a plane that's going to land in El Paso, you can't. And it's for 10 days, and they have not given a reason why.

0

38.388 - 60.582 Boomer

From February 10th through the 20th, the FAA has done this. Nobody knows why, which leads to speculation, leads to conspiracy theories, leads to all sorts of different things on social media, as we always see. And it would be very helpful if they would just say why. Now, there's a lot of things going on, I would think, that...

Chapter 2: What theories are emerging around the airspace closure?

60.562 - 84.186 Boomer

One could be drug cartel related, right? That could be one issue. I would think that there are other security issues that may be happening that we're not aware of. But you would think that they would give you a reason why. But when they put something out like this, and as vague as it is, now it creates like a certain... level of panic.

0

84.327 - 95.978 Gio

Well, especially in this day and age with everybody and conspiracies and social media and this and that. And it's craziness, obviously. But you're right when you don't. So there's got to be a good reason why they're not telling people.

0

Chapter 3: Could drug cartels be involved in the airspace situation?

96.178 - 123.778 Boomer

They came out and they basically said special security reasons. Yeah. But no specifics, just special security reasons. So I'm trying to think of, you know, because of geographically where it is, what goes on in that area. To me, it sounds like special security reasons are trying to keep something from flying into that area or trying to keep something from somehow getting into the airport.

0

123.944 - 127.047 Boomer

All I can think of makes me think of drug cartels.

0

127.468 - 145.907 Gio

Yeah, so you think if we put this in sports talk terms here, the number one overall pick in the what the hell's going on in El Paso draft would be cartel-related? It's got to be either that or border-related. Like if we're doing Family Feud and we ask 100 people, show me cartel-related.

0

146.327 - 147.569 Boomer

Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

0

Chapter 4: What role does social media play in spreading theories?

147.589 - 156.245 Boomer

So that's probably one. You want to keep it with your family or you want to pass? All right, so give me number two.

0

157.748 - 162.135 Gio

Number two on the draft of what the hell is happening in El Paso, Texas.

0

163.397 - 175.096 Boomer

I will say... Remember, special security reasons. Is the president anywhere near El Paso over the next 10 days?

0

175.116 - 182.446 Gio

For 10 days, though? I'm going to say the number two reason on the board is aliens. Okay, that's number two. Al, do you have somebody?

0

Chapter 5: Are there security reasons behind the airspace closure?

182.606 - 192.281 Al

I hope it's aliens. Like they said, listen, we'll be there. Meet us in El Paso. We're going to be, you know, get all your planes out of the way. We got a big ship coming.

0

192.541 - 196.787 Boomer

Okay, so you're thinking that it's aliens. Any other thing that you can think of?

0

196.968 - 203.163 Al

No, it just seems like. drug cartel type of things. That's what the Twitterverse is thinking.

0

Chapter 6: What are the implications of potential terrorist activity?

203.183 - 228.309 Gio

Yeah, I mean, that's number one on the board, 100%. But also, I mean, aliens, you got to throw in there. Another one that you could throw in there, but I don't think is a possibility, but people will speculate, is some sort of spreadable disease type of thing. But then again, it's like they would have to tell the people around El Paso that are on the ground that this is happening.

0

228.349 - 232.663 Gio

So that's why, and nobody's been alerted to that. So that's why I don't think it's that.

0

232.944 - 240.148 Boomer

Why wouldn't the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, come out and just say, look, this is what it is, as opposed to letting all of us sit here like...

0

240.635 - 251.305 Gio

The obvious answer to that is they believe that the speculation is better than the panic that this might cause. I mean, that would be the only reason, right?

0

Chapter 7: How do historical events shape current speculations?

251.325 - 268.161 Gio

Like, we could either tell you that this is going on, or it could be from a war standpoint where it's like, all right, you know, we're closing the airspace down here because... We're doing war games? Like, I shouldn't say war, but, like, it could be some sort of, you know, the cartel-related thing. All right, all right, but what... So...

0

269.17 - 280.448 Gio

And maybe they found that there's a lot of drugs that are going through El Paso or through the airspace in El Paso from Mexico, and they're trying to stop that. I don't know.

0

281.189 - 299.361 Boomer

That's what I was thinking. I mean, airspace? Airspace. Does obviously... And they said that if you fly into that airspace, there's a 10-mile radius around the airport, which also covers part of Santa Teresa, New Mexico, but does not include Mexican airspace.

0

Chapter 8: What conclusions can we draw from the ongoing situation?

300.502 - 307.689 Gio

Okay. Well, I don't think you can. I mean, can you – I guess the FAA – can the FAA close Mexican airspace? I don't believe they can.

0

308.07 - 317.432 Boomer

It's right there on the border. Could there be a report of, like, some other – ground operation in and around the airport.

0

319.414 - 328.322 Gio

Yeah, I don't know. But whatever it is, they made the decision to have the speculation run rampant as opposed to tell us and everybody go, oh my God.

0

328.442 - 353.892 Boomer

You know how in Vegas, I think it was within the last 10 days, they found a house that had all these chemicals and everything in it? Yeah, yeah. Could that have anything to do with this? Could there be any sort of internal... I don't know, sell of a group of people that are trying to do something or some sort of terrorist attack.

0

354.553 - 375.132 Gio

I mean, do you think that if it were cartel related, that someone from the administration would come out and say, hey, we got info. We're not messing around. We're shutting the airspace down here because we're shutting these criminals down. Do you think that there would there be a benefit to doing that as opposed to not telling people what's going on?

376.057 - 389.323 Boomer

It's like what happened in Vegas. They got a tip. They broke into a residential house. They found all this biomedical stuff.

390.282 - 420.289 Boomer

crap in there for no reason and i i don't i don't know if this has anything to do with that if there's any relation to that or some sort of terrorist thing that they found and they have to root it out before they can let the planes go back up in the air i don't that's what i'm thinking let's go to mark in berlin connecticut what's going on mark hey morning guys hey uh there's something going on at fort bliss army base in el paso i there that would be one of my reasons i'm telling you that'd be number one with a bullet

421.552 - 423.875 Boomer

Like what could be going on there?

424.255 - 436.291 Unknown

That's been a missile-based training ground. There could be shenanigans with our UFO alien friends like Al was going with. There's been shenanigans since 1947.
