What disastrous appearances did MAGA Republicans make on TV?
The MAGA Republican leaders had a series of disastrous appearances on Sunday news. Let me just break down for you what took place. And it's just shocking the audacity of this corruption and incompetence, for example. Here you have Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on air traffic control systems. He says the lights are blinking. This is like an emergency moment, folks. We may be in serious trouble. This is the Transportation Secretary saying, I don't know, fix it. Do your job, maybe.
Here, play this clip. The Congress and the country haven't paid attention to it, right? They expect it to work. And so now I think the lights are blinking, the sirens are turning, and they're saying, listen, we have to fix this because what you see in Newark is going to happen in other places across the country. It has to be fixed.
Why is the US air traffic control system in crisis?
And so what we're having is some telecom issues, but we're also having some glitches in our software. As the information comes in, it's overloading some of our lines and the system goes down. So I'll just tell you specifically in Newark, We believe we're gonna have it up and running in short order. We're gonna be able to fix that glitch. And we feel a little more comfortable about our primary line that gets the data in on radar. And our redundant line is up and working as well.
I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't be getting our transportation secretaries from the real world road rules challenge. Maybe we should have people working to actually fix things instead of people like Sean Duffy, who are posting like bachelor photos of himself saying hashtag Latino wife, saying that his wife made him carne asado tacos. I mean, what the hell are we talking about here? He That's what he actually posted. Here is Sean Duffy again talking about how concerned he is about all of the airspace. Play this clip.
You talked about the fact that this might not be confined to Newark. Are there other airports that you are concerned about right now?
I'm concerned about the whole airspace. The equipment that we use, much of it we can't buy parts for new. We have to go on eBay and buy parts if one part goes down. You're dealing with really old equipment. We're dealing with copper wires, not fiber, not high-speed fiber. And so this is concerning. Is it safe? Yes, we have redundancies, multiple redundancies in place to keep you safe when you fly. But we should also recognize we're seeing stress on an old network, and it's time to fix it.
Bottom line, is it safe to fly in the United States right now?
Listen, we are the safest airspace, for sure. And traveling by air is way safer than any other mode of transportation, which is why I take it, my family takes it. But again, that doesn't mean you don't look over the horizon and say, hey, if there is a major outage, could that be a risk to life? Of course it could be, which is why we fix it.
By the way, you know who spent his time actually working and doing things and making things better and not whining and complaining and panicking on TV? I don't know. Maybe the last transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, who now all the MAGA Republicans and before want to attack all the time. I don't know. Maybe that was a better style of leadership than whatever the hell this is. And speaking of whatever the hell this is, MAGA Republican Congress member Michael McCaul addresses Donald Trump and Trump's top advisor, Stephen Miller, threatening to suspend habeas corpus. In other words, shred the Constitution so they can throw anybody they want in. in concentration camps without the federal courts by claiming fake invasions.
What are the concerns regarding habeas corpus suspension?
This is Congressmember McCaul, who seems to think it's a good idea.
Here, play this clip. This past week as well, White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller said. Habeas corpus can be suspended at the time of an invasion, saying the administration's looking at ways to potentially do away with due process for undocumented immigrants. You're an attorney. You're someone who deals with homeland security issues and immigration being there from the Lone Star State.
