There were other factors that i think were the stimulus for the investigation and the revelation about george papadopoulos, which was not a name on my radar scope when i left, may -- i think also was another factor. i dont think there was one thing that individually prompted the -- >> and thats a claim thats gotten a life of its own, its repeated by the president, repeated by his supporters as fact when in fact the man who led the intelligence agencies says its not a fact. >> you may not be able...

Dnc. they slipped here under the radar scope and did a great job of ground game. and youve got to -- of all the other convergence of forces, as you said, alex marlow, just out-hustling and out-working people is a big one. >> charlie, that sounded like a backhanded slap there at the rnc, as well. >> well, it is interesting that he would take that tack, because yesterday was a complete humiliation and rejection of not only steve bannon, but that whole bannonite, breitbart wing of the party. and, y...

Agencies to take? >> well, one incident that comes to mind by the boston marathon attack. and of course the first reports as weve seen here very graphically always some confusion and inconsistency. one key thing, i think, though, will happen is whether this person was on anyones radar scope, either the fbi and/or nypd. and then, of course, the question is, well, how intrusive should law enforcement and/or intelligence be? whenever we have these incidents, the critique normally is we should have ...

Before the public gets the full story, so i would caution to whole judgment until we get more than one story. one personal example -- 27 years ago i was a navigator for a small training vessel. we ran into a very, very heavy rainstop. so heavy it washed out our radar scope. we couldnt see more than 50 yards youve ha storm a huge container ship werent voighted a collision by less than five seconds. you think this stuff is impossible to happen, but mechanical malfunctions, radar failures, and ther...

80 record highs tied or smashed yesterday. some all-time winter high temperatures actually reported but we can say good-bye to these warm temperatures because the seasons are about to change. a little bit of a lesson from me to you if youre watching, dont plant your vegetables too early. this could catch you offguard because we get these cold arctic blasts. look at the temperature separation. were talking over 30 degrees today. unbelievable. obviously something happening. the collision of air ma...

Off with hillary clinton. >> look, theres a whole world out there that is below the fold, below the radar scope that we dont know about which is the intelligence community. they have rivalries between them. they have ideological pred likss, if there were raw data here, it would be difficult for us to interpret it. two groups looking at the same data can read the same thing and interpret it 180 degrees differently from each other. thats what happened here. when donald trump says the russians did ...

What is happening above, of course, with the sea and the wind. >> we also know tom, that radar data has suggested that the plane made a steep climb before it crashed. what does that tell you about what might have happened? >> yeah. i have to say, you know, this is one of those unconfirmed e roanous reports that we do not have confirmed. its not confirmed by my own reporting. my own reporting has the plane was last on the radar scope at 36,300 feet. theres other unnamed sources that are being quo...

Radar scope that showed the aircraft was, in fact climbing anyway. and that might suggest that the pilot decided that it was unsafe to stay at the altitude he had, even if it meant a declaration of an emergency, in order for safety. but on the other hand, as you start to climb, the aircraft window of speeds that it can safely fly begins to shrink. as that happens, youre getting into an area where, if you suddenly have gusts of wind that are stronger or weaker than expected, you could get outside...

Down line to see what type of situation will develop for him. and quite frequently if that radar scope is red or purple they will be waiting. >> we talked about how this particular pilot did ask to change his altitude to go up because of this storm and the weather he was approaching. so john wants to know can pilots override traffic control amidst imminent danger? >> absolutely. the pilots can always declare an emergency. thats the first thing you do. and then whatever you do with the airplane i...

Aviate, in other words, fly the airplane, navigate and communicate in that order. and thats true. if theyre fighting a controllability problem or problem with their instruments like the air france situation, they may not -- the air france guys, and they were both guys, flew that aircraft for i think it was three minutes till they hit the water. so they dont always communicate their problem. and you know, natalie, the reason is they know that the controllers for the most part, they cant do anythi...
