Cavuto leave starts now. Hi, everyone good morning im trish regan in for neil cavuto on this saturday. Its post9 11 you would think this would be impossible. An Airline Employee stealing and crashing a Passenger Plane near seattle, washington Our Dan Springer he is there with the very late its for us right now. Hi, dan. Reporter yeah, hi, trish. A joyride gone terribly wrong. Thats how a local sheriff described it he could also call it one of the most bizarre suicides youll ever see a 29 year old employee of horizon air
took a commercial plane that was at the Maintenance Area so it was not in service to be flown but it was out of service and going to have some maintenance done. He took that plane and he got off the tarmac and up into the air and flew around the puget sound for 90 minutes before crashing it on a small island. A lot of people were out with their cell phones as they saw this bizarre action of a plane flying low to the ground doing loops. The 76 plane is made by bombardier. The military quickly sent up two f15 fighter jets and brought them in from portland to follow that plane and shoot it down if necessary. The man who stole the plane worked for horizon eras a Ground Service agent so those are the guys that do the deicing in the winter and direct them into the gate. He joked with air Traffic Control about his flying skills even though he was not a pilot. He called himself a broken man and sounded suicidal. I dont want to hurt no one. I just want you to wisper sweet
nothings into my ear. Ive got a lot of people that care about me, and its going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. Reporter air Traffic Control tried to get the man to stay away from Population Centers and he was doing that flying south away from seattle towards tacoma , flying over water. The fighter jets did not shoot the plane down as it flew south. An hour and a half after the plane took off it crashed on a small island. Pierce county Officials Say this was not, not an act of terrorism there is no indication that he did this to threaten anybody. Theres no indication of any kind of Terrorist Link or anything like that. Reporter the crash happened on Ketron Island between tacoma and olympia. There are a handful of homes there about 20 people live there but the plane went down in a wooded area starting a small wildfire but nobody on the ground was hurt the mans name has not been released the fbi will take the lead in this
investigation again theyre not looking at terrorism. The ntsb which usually takes the lead in commercial airline crashes because theyre looking at all kinds of things of maybe Maintenance Problems or mechanical problems theyre not taking the lead they may not send a crew because it doesnt look like theres anything more to this than a man whose suicidal and not able to fly a plane. Trish . Trish dan springer thank you very much joining Me Former Uss commander and private pilot, kirk liphold. Good to have you here, sir. How does this happen . Given what weve been through, given 9 11, how could this occur well when you have Ground Maintenance Personnel like that, a lot of them achieve qualifications where they get to be able to move aircraft around, where they actually will go up with pilots when they do post maintenance check flights, so there was probably a degree of familiarity in how the aircraft operated how to start it how to shut it down. He could have been qualified in all those thins and when you
trust them. When it comes to Nuclear Weapons theres only one policy and that is everything that is done must be done in a technically verifiable manner where all the cards are on the table. Were dealing with north korea. What iran is upset about is the fact that we had a bad deal in the joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action negotiated under the Obama Administration. We chose to step away from that deal, reimpose the sanctions again because its our belief they had a pathway to a bomb in 10 to 15 years having read that agreement we do. Now were looking at north korea and i think what they realize is when it comes to Nuclear Weapons its an entirely different category than anything else. Consequently, we have to have verifiable steps. We will work with north korea. We want to work with them but North Korea Peninsula must be denuclearized but north korea has to take the first steps. What youve seen so far has been pretty much confidencebuilding measures but nothing thats actually taken the steps to
verify aboutly dismantle their program which must happen. Trish uhhuh. Whats chinas role in all this . You look at some of these actors talking about russia, iran, china, north korea theres a whole set of them out there. How is china helping to potentially dismantle our progress with north korea . What are they trying to do . Well what you see, trish is that china is the 800pound gorilla in the room casting a shadow over everything. Their only military allie on the world is north korea. They fought beside them and died for them in the korean war. Everything that went on with this Nuclear Program that north korea now possesses was aided and a betted by china. They allowed it to happen. They wanted it to happen. They see it as a Negotiating Tool and now when you look at the larger context of Whats Going On with President Trump on our National Security you have to remember part of the tariffs part of what is going on in the
south china sea part of china trying to exert regional influence, north korea is just one more tool theyre using. The fact that its Nuclear WeaponsChina Doesnt Want to be part of the negotiations with this. Fine well deal directly with north korea but be very aware that china is in there and china needs to be made painfully aware if necessary that we will hold them accountable for anything north korea does. Trish important that you mentioned those tariffs. Exercising those tariffs but at the end of the day north korea is the one with kim jongun that has to have a verifiable program to denuclearize on our timeline. Trish commander thank you so much. Like Secretary Of State pompeo. Trish yes, thank you, sir Fresh Off His primary win President Trump calling john james a future star of the Republican Party. You arent going to see him anywhere else this weekend except right here so dont go anywhere and did this primary actually show a green wave from a Strong Economy . Trish well the midterms are now three months away can you believe that and if this weeks heated primaries are any indication well the economy is what people care about front and center is the economy fox business Tracy Carrasco has the latest for us. Good morning, trish five for five is what President Trump tweeted as he took a victory lap on wednesday morning, following his endorsements in tuesdays elections. The trumpbacked candidates came out on top while those supported by Democratic Congressional candidate and out spoke epidemic Socialistic Alexandria Cortez did not do as well. Those endorsed by the president include bill shuty, who will face for governor in michigan, john james who trump called the future star of the Republican Party and michigans gop primary for u. S. Senate race and
will go up against incumbent democrat and well hear from him later on the show and josh holly , who goes on to challenge democratic senator in missouri and two races still too close to call, well lets take a look at those, troy balderson, leading Democrat Danny Oconnor in a muchwatched Special Election in ohio just over 1,500 votes only. 8 Percentage Points but more than 3,400 provisional ballots have yet to be counted there and ohio law calls for an automatic recount if the two candidates are separated by less than half a percentage point. Lets switch over the drama does continue in kansas as incumbent governor hires an outside lawyer for the Vote Counting Process with trumpbacked Secretary Of State leading the race by less than a tenth of a percentage point, Kovak Formerly recused himself friday from his duties as Secretary Of State until the end of the primary process. Meanwhile primaries in hawaii take place today. Cortez has been on the big island campaigning for a fellow democratic socialistic and Hawaii Congressional candidate and on tuesday voters will head back to the polls in minnesota, wisconsin, connecticut and vermont. Trish . Trish tracy thank you so much so the big question is the green wave, thanks to the good economy , going to actually beat out that Big Government wave . Pushed by democratic socialists going on right now joining me for the panel we have democratic strategist rochelle richie, Media Business analyst, dan gelt rude, former new york congresswoman. Starting with you, the economy matters to people. People tend to vehicle with their pocket books does it matter enough come midterm . We have all the metrics obviously in terms of job growth in terms of record unemployment among communities of color, folks who havent been participating in the job market
for many years under the Previous Administration now are coming back in, thank goodness. Consumer confidence is up so people understand and they give the president high marks on his management of the economy, so those things should matter and the fact the democratic socialistic and democratic socialisticbacked candidates did poorly in democratic primar ies also indicates that people understand that we need a vigorous free market economy. Trish rochelle is the socialistic platform hurting the Democratic Party right now . Well look ill say i definitely do not like the socialistic platform were see ing right now coming out of the Democratic Party but republicans love to boast about the Unemployment Rate which is great, but what theyre not sharing with the American People is the fact that underemployment is still pretty high. 33 of people with College Degrees are under employed and i know the two mentioned the Unemployment Rate for African Americans so whats not being mentioned is the fact that 83 of African Americans are still
unemployed compared to whites and unemployment for African Americans have actually increased over the last three months and in may it was 5. 9 and june 6. 5 and july 6. 6 and i think as particularly for African American voters, the rhetoric that we tend to see from President Trump and the fact that he is more willing to attack nfl players and not say anything trish okay so you see that as a i know where youre going with this because unfortunately we see over and over again the left wants to paint him as racist. No that is not it. Trish thats exactly because over and over again you see Economic Data that is good. And just as you mentioned Economic Data that is good; however, is not, its a misrepresentation of the facts. Black people in this country are still relatively higher unemployed than whites. Trish i am proud to have fought for and secured the lowest African American and hispanic Unemployment Rates ministry and i will never stop fighting for all americans dan going to you for a moment because one of my frustrations right now with the political environment were in is that people are not looking at policy theyre not looking at facts they are trying to make this very emotional so they paint whoever they can into whatever box they can including this president and thats an attempt to rally the base and get them emotionally connected to midterms. Is that going to work or are people going to say lick im better off today than i was a year ago, two years ago . Well youre exactly right about these elections are going to be about emotion. Unfortunately and i think what we have to realize, people are much more motivated to go out and vote against something than to go out and vote for something , so we have this great economy, people are satisfied,
so is that going to make them lazy when it comes to going to the polls . And i think thats what this election, the Midterm Elections is going to be about. Remember this, this is not a national election. This is a series of local elections so youll have local issues that play pretty significantly into what happens in all these seats in congress. Isnt this in part perhaps why were seeing border issue really get inflamed right now because as dan said people want to have something theyre connected to emotionally so whether this president is a racist therefore you need to vote him out of office and the republicans out of office or whether its were going to open up our borders and people are going to flood in theres sort of a fear factor on both sides. Right there is a great deal of passion on both sides we always hear about this blue wave and the democrats want to get out and im sure a lot that didnt vote in 2016 get out and vote because of what happened in 2016 but on the republican side
were seeing highest voter enthusiasm before almost every Midterm Election dating back to 1994 with one exception in june 2010 so theres also a lot of passion and a lot of wanting to get up and go on the republican side as well so if it is aunt emotion and passion not so easy to say blue wave look at the emotions we dont hear as much about the emotions on the republican side and the passion that is backed up by data. Trish i want to get to this other issue and thats Conservative Comentator Ben Shapiro in o out there challeng ing alexandria cortez he offered her 10,000 to her campaign, charity whatever she wanted so do you know what she did . She called his attempt to debate her cat calling. I mean it didnt even make sense wait, wait, cat calling . I asked about this. [laughter] that would be great. Trish so i asked about this yesterday. Here is his response. Take a look. The fact that she feels the necessity to go to this
particular car, to play that im a female this is like Cat Calling Fact she goes there and says do you know what im not interested in a debate the reason she didnt say that is because she didnt want to look like shes afraid. Trish shes afraid. I get that but what bugs me the most is the victim it station here thats going on. I mean, to say that hes cat calling when hes just asking to have an intellectual conversation, whats that about, rochelle . I dont agree its not cat calling, like we live in new york city thats not cat calling trish no. [laughter] trish what is it . Look at me im a victim . The only thing shings a victim of is her own foolishness and i give her enough credit to know that versus ben shapiro in o she would lose pretty severely not cat calling. No shes clearly afraid to debate him. She has had difficulty in Television Interviews when shes pressed on okay how would you pay for this or okay how does this work she flounders a
little bit. Trish well leave it there is President Trump nearing a sit down with special Counsel Robert Mueller . Former White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer was questioned by his legal team and he joins us at 11 a. M. But up next two conservatives shouted down by far left protesters now one ismo speaking Up Charlie Kik is next.
