Ent authorities controlled the city and kept the peace and as residents searched for safety, the cartel took soldiers hostage and that is the government released the kingpin, having achieved nothing except for the death of a people. Today, he defended the decision to retreat. The capture of one delinquent cannot be worth more. I think it was a big mistake.

Newly revealed messages from boeing pot show the company has known for several months now that there were concerns being raised by pilots about the 737 max 8 safety. It is leading to questions on whether they misled the federal aviation administration. The messages in question were sent by boeing pilot in 2016, more than two years before two Fatal Airline crashes involving that 737 max 8. Crthose twhes killed 346 people. The system is at the heart of an Ongoing Investigation and when the system was still being certified,ot a boeing p messaged a second pilot, saying the system was difficult to control and some of the messageu he wrote, at flying, but even this is egregious and real fundamental issues they are aware of. Boeing has insisted there was no problems during the certification. But, the head isskg why the company had not told the government about these messages months ago. At the timicof this certion process, what role were these pilots supposed to be playing . Convinced the faa that the system is safe under a variety of situations and during this, they uncovered moreem pro than the system was aware. The system was designed to address p aentially new plane with bigger engines and would tend to push its nose to the ground. Boeing has said the system would operate in the background and the pilot did not need to know about it and what these messages show is that internally, there re more concerns. Do we have any idea how thiso ersation went from here . We dont know. The justice department, at,in ector general, there are a lot of reviews looking at this very question. We know a lot of concerns raised about how the faa delegates much of the responsibility for certifying new planes and as a result, congress saying we need to take a look atwh thie process. Should boeing be responsible for certifying the plane that the faa is responsible for . [no audio] boeing turned theseum dts and theres some concern about other reasons why the faas role investigated, was that ang legitimate reason . The faa said we need those documents, we are trying to review and ensure when this plan goes back in the service, we needo see everything, so the question is are there more documents, other shoes to drop . The real heart is about what they do about the mcas system. Absolutely. This issue is abt a system misfire because it got conflicting data from sensors outside the airplane and they had additional safeguards like ne one the faa is demanding could have prevcrted those two hes. T the faa says it will t the grounding until they determined that they are safe to fly. Do these earlier concerns complicate the proce . It is certainly more bad news. Southwest airlines has delay their flights at least until february and other airlines until january and i talked to the chairman of the house committee. These do suggest that they need to make sure boeing is being completely upfront and every deadline so far has been missed. The plane was supposed to be back in the air a long time ago. We a still waiting for a firstication flight it is certainly not good news and also, the public has to be confident andhat is the bigger issue, will people go backnce the faa gives the ok . Meanwhile, a boeing etecutive will bifying on capitol hill. What are some of the key estions you think need to be answered . . First, he lost his title of ochairmy one week ago day. He will be asked a lot of questions. How come no one at boeing has been fired. The key question, did boeing make mistakes . Areventable tragedy, what exactly did boeing know . Todid regu know enough and the whole system of how planes are certified need to be changed . These are some of theed messages uncov do you expect there to be more . Another 10 pages ofmails involving the same pilot, that sheds a lile mor light. I think between th the eye fbi and aig, or will come out in terms of what boeing new internally knew internally. Ing here. For o formero Governor John Kasich served in Public Office or over three decades, but in his new book, he calls on the American People to pay less attention to the president and the dramas in washington. Instea he urges individual americans to vocus on the ility each one has to move their community and the country forward. Welcome back. I want to ask you about the book, but first the news of the day. View that President Trump should be impeachedof by the hous representatives. Why . I thought there should have impeachment inquiry impeachment inquiry from the very beginning. I think they should have a full vote will stop it gives a credibility and i think that is important. What was hanging me up about the call that the president ade to ukraine is was there a quid pro quo . There is so much going on between them. When mobile heab said it is lutely true that we withheld aid until they agreed to go back and do an investigation, withholding aid fr a country like ukraine, has troops on the land, there is no excuse for that. Mulvaney said then and he said again today, there is political influence in american cyforeignpo, get over it. S fact, the Trump Campaign is selling tshith get over it. It is one thing to pull a aid over Public Policy but another thing for nation fighting literally for survival based on politics. We dont want any president to do that andd it is a really day for me. I dont want to have to do this, but when i look atve it and i responsibility to respond to questions, i felt this was the right thing to do. I have for good about what i said, but im saddened at the time. As you know, he said i am unconventional i do things in a different way. Why is he allowed to do things in a way that we have never seen . Theres an appropriate way that a preside should conduct themselves in office. Everyone is held accountable and if the president said im not goinnyto giveoney to ukraine because i think theres too much corruption, that would be ok, but to say i willwi hold this aid until you do what i want you to do politically and no matter how hard they try, they cannot take those words back. so yore saying if you were in the house today, you would vote for impeachment, which is equivalent to an iictment. What about convicting him . I would like to see what the articles of impeachment are and at the same time, i think it is important for the democrats to try to bring republicans along. Trepublicans haask themselves, is it right r any president to dangle for gnade dangle foreign aid to investigate your political rival or some political manipulation, i think the answer is no. We have to have guardrails in which president s and leaders operate. Are you ready to say he should be removed . Wt the impeachment to move forward and i think that indicates theres enough there to be able to do that, but that is the job of the senate. There are so few republicans, in fact virtually none, who would agree with you now. Why so few . It is tribal. Wereoing to protect our guy. I wish this would go away. They areot even saying the phone call was wrong and they wont say they wont have an impeachment inquiry, but when the vast majority of americans are saying it is necessary, we need to get to the bottom of it. Tomorrow is the other day and other y. Im not going to beat up aone else io having the opinion i have. This is not the area of government i like to focus on scandal and impeachment, but we all have our responsibilitiesve even when we o get out of our comfort zone. Your book is about not focusing on washington. You say the American People have the ability and the obligation to themselves to make the country better. Ta we all have c gifts. You have them, the people watching have them. We are expected to be healers in the world, not providers. Other peoples shoes and takehe care of we live. A does not mean that sometimes they dont result in global things like the 16yearold who cread a movement or the young people in parkland, florida who pushed guno controlhe through florida legislature, but theres also stories about other people. Esone girl ln illinois and when Hurricane Florence was mi, she said they are not going to like me. She and her brother went around the neighborhood and when they collected supplies, they filled supplies. What do you say to the people who voted for donald trump in 2016 . There are 60 million something. Many said they did not like what was going on in washington and thought he would bring the change. They have to lookn the mirror and ask themselves did he bring the change that he promised . Are there more steel mills, cars ling created and how i f about the rhetoric . Whole business of bullying, to some degree i have people who said bullying people has become more acceptable. I dont like this. I dont like to have to say these thinid about our prt, but when i looked at the scale of policies and behavior that divides us,g someths to be done about it. I am for impeachment for what i think is the quid pro quo and putting other nations at risk. John kasich, former governor of ohio, the book it is up to us. It is for the young, middleaged and our seniors. Thank you. Thank you. Stay with us.
