topping her bask of deplorables. >> some of those maga element streamist take their matching records from donald trump who has no credibility left by any measure. you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult member. but something needs to happen. >> how do you do that because you said you have to defeat them by defeating their leader. their leader is donald trump. >> at this point sadly he will still be the nominee and we have to defeat him. >> joe: 15 seconds to you, joe. >> so sad seeing hillary clinton entering what will be seventh year of public therapy tour. airing of grievances signifying nothing, todd. it's sad to see. >> she is no frank costanza. you are joe concha. have a great weekend. justin fields had a great weekend last night and so did moore. "fox & friends" now. >> steve: good morning, everybody. it's friday, october 6th, 2023.

and we start this friday morning with a fox news alert. former president donald trump has apparently thrown his support behind ohio congressman jim jordan for the race for speaker of the house. trump's endorsement on truth social last night comes ahead of a wednesday vote next wednesday as republicans seek a candidate who they believe is the best fit to replace former house speaker kevin mccarthy. >> lawrence: trump posted overnight congressman jim jordan has been a star long before making his very successful journey to washington, d.c. represent representing ohio's fourth congressional district. he will be greater speaker of the house. and he has my complete and total endorsement. >> brian: trump isn't fully ruling out stepping in. telling us quote, i almost said u.s. i have been asked to speak as a unifier because i have so many friends in congress if they don't get the vote they have asked me if i would consider taking the speakership until they get somebody longer term because i am running for

president, they asked me if i would take it for a short period of time for the party until come to calculation. i'm not doing it because i want to, i would do it necessary should they not come up for the decision i would only do it for the party. >> jordan and steve scalise have officially announced bids for the speaker role. so this is a week of a lot of different developments when it comes to what is going on in the republican party. and this is the latest won. the former president weighing in and he is saying he is all in on jim jordan. >> steve: he is you have two leading contenders, jim jordan and steve scalise. they have both been working the phones like crazy over the last 48 hours. each has more than a dozen endorsements. they have a big task. they have got to try to unite a fractured republican conference. which for the most part, a couple of days ago was at total civil war, lawrence. >> lawrence: i think this whole debate is interesting. obviously jim jordan original

founder of the freedom caucus is going to be able to get those 20 on his side and really unify from that perspective. but, brian, i was of the mindset scalise you are not going to get anything different than mccarthy. i talked to some members yesterday said that's not true. it comes from an energy state. he is scalise because he was the whip, was known to call people and have conversations with people. so, don't be so sure that you're going to get the same mccarthy in steve scalise. >> brian: i don't think they were even talking. evidently in 2018 when scalise made it clear he was also interested in being speaker mccarthy looked at that as an affront and he bypassed him down the chain. but i would say this steve scalise one of the nightest people you will meet, likes people. number two he is tight with the president. i'm not sure if that was the most easy decision president trump has had to make. remember, when he was shot, president trump was coming over all the time and going to visit him there, tight with the family. so here is jim jordan last

night. >> steve scalise is a friend of mine. kevin, steve and i we all came in the same conditioning. steve is an american hero but again, i think i'm better equipped to unite the conference, bring the conservatives along that i'm close to with the moderates. i have had great conversation. jeff van drew. jeff van drew is supporting me. jeff van drew was a democrat five years ago. switched parties now a great member of our conference. is he supporting me. that's what we have to do so we can get to the real goal which is those things we told the american people we were going to do for them. >> steve: it's interesting. scalise and jordan are both considered further to the right than kevin mccarthy who one of them could replace. for jordan, who, you know lawrence you mentioned the house freedom caucus, he is hard right. and what he has got to do is he has got to convince mainstream republicans in the congress that he can govern and not simply tear things down. and so that's why yesterday he met with the main street caucus a group of business minded republicans.

and scalise, his challenge is to stay one step ahead of jordan and make better inroads with the right wing, the hard right. in steve scalise's phone pitch yesterday, the number one thing that attracted members was he said he reminded them, you know, i'm the number one fundraiser behind kevin mccarthy. >> carley: that's so true. >> steve: if you want money for re-election. >> carley: he is the guy who can do it. i was listening to a bunch of different congress men and women yesterday. everyone speaks so highly of steve scalise. they did say he unfortunately is going through a battle with cancer right now. marjorie taylor greene said listen, is he a personal friend. you cannot speak more highly of him professionally and personally but maybe for him he needs to take time to get better first. that's where she stands on this. but i think it speaks volumes of his work ethic saying that i am up for the job, yeah, absolutely, so we just heard from jim jordan how he feels. he says that he is a big tent

candidate. he can get jeff van drew on his side who used to be a democrat and is he a member of the freedom caucus. we are also going to hear from steve scalise coming up later in the show steve you have that interview with him. >> steve: looking forward to it. >> brian: got to say i'm going through blood cancer treatment for the next few months. i'm walking with a contain from the gunshots i took while playing baseball. carr car what a guy. >> brian: i'm the guy do it. he doesn't seem to be a person who ever has a bad day. he always has a smile on his face. i see a scenario maybe because i have been watching television where it's a total circus next week that it's so close that donald trump will probably be asked to come in and maybe grant gavel for a week or two. >> steve: they would have to change the rules. >> carley: donald trump said he could go to capitol hill on tuesday to try and unite the party. so you could see those images as well. >> brian: he and hakeem jeffries probably have a lot of catching up to do and nancy pelosi might be in the hall moving had her

office. >> lawrence: i think there may be chaos. i think this is good for the party. they need to duke it out and i hope they do it behind closed doors. >> brian: i don't think so. >> lawrence: come with a consensus candidate from. your point, steve from, my understanding the rule is if you are a member of the house, you cannot be under felony indictment. the former president is not a member of the house. >> steve: he would be if he were speaker they would have to change the rule. it's got to be a felony indictment and he has a whole bunch of them. so the tuesday thing it there is going to be candidate forum on tuesday and then the voting starts on wednesday. >> brian: only got 91 indictments. >> steve: faces 712 years. so, anyway, the one interesting thing is if there is one thing that is going -- you know, if you are a member of the republican conference, and you wonder which of these two guys should i support? he could come down to the simple topic of ukraine. because, last week, jim jordan sided with 117 republicans and voted against sending more aid

to ukraine. so he is an anti ukraine guy. whereas steve scalise sided with 101 republicans supporting ukraine. it's a pretty cut and dry issue. one guy is for it and one guy is against it. >> brian: jim jordan tied it to the border. and so did lindsey graham who is more pro-ukraine than anybody else. he said the border is falling apart. i get it. whatever it takes to get this president to understand that you have allowed our sovereignty to be compromised, do it. because a president wants ukraine aid, obviously he might be re-purposing state department aid, so, to do that, make them put money and attention to the border. and i think that's -- that was the nuances and the gray area of jim jordan yesterday. >> carley: also, no matter what happens that motion to vacate that matt gait used to get kevin mccarthy out house rules. it only takes one person. yesterday somebody was interviewing m matt gaetz i thik

it was brooke singman he would be own to exchanging his position. >> steve: he was okay with it which is crazy. you were down in dallas yesterday you had had a whirlwind trip you saw your mom and the mayor. >> lawrence: you saw the mayor of dallas who is making whirlwinds himself he was a democrat, a progressive, a star within the democratic party. he decides that because of what is happening in the country is he going to switch over to the republican party. he is the only mayor in the top 10 cities that is now a republican. well, apparently the chair of the democratic party got word of this. and he wasn't happy. play it. >> we have seen a rash, a recent rash of party switching. [applause] and i'm sure you all saw the news of the dallas mayor. >> oh my god. >> constituents to serve as a

democrat and the democratic policies that he completely out of the blue swiped to the other side. it got my blood boiling. what was the first thing that the mayor of dallas did after he switched parties? he met with vivek ramaswamy, tim scott, and he flew to d.c. to meet with kevin mccarthy. bless his heart. [laughter] and it's shameless. it's feckless, and it has serious consequences. >> steve: next time he speaks we need a microphone closer to him, just saying. >> lawrence: i think it's shameful that you have the democratic party that has a huge party with black men. and you have the only mayor of a major city that is a black man that has switched parties. nothing goes through his head to say what happened? what do we need to do? if this mayor is flipping, will there be others? will there be others in our --

>> brian: behind closed doors he is saying john james, senator tim scott. byron donalds? >> lawrence: i don't think so, brian. i have seen no move from the democratic party hey, let's wise up. let's do something a little bit different. it's sad because that could be the decider of this next election. >> brian: do you see this happening to americans erupting in chicago illegal immigration. >> lawrence: it's happening everywhere. look, you are not putting us first. one thing that got me on that point, brian, the one lady said we are already at the bottom of the barrel. we already have scraps right now. you already have people on the streets crime is hitting us already and send illegals there and give them more than we get in the democrats have a real problem. >> steve: and they do. one of the things he has stood for is he was never for defunding the police. he cut the property taxes, which, of course, cutting taxes where does that happen? a town run by democratic mayor. and what is very telling is he

switched parties even though he won re-election with, i think, 99% of the vote. >> ste >> lawrence: he didn't need this. when we were talking to him, this is what he said about the reason why he switched parties. let's watch. >> the reality is there is a really big gap at this point in time between ohio am, what is important to me, what i'm about and where the democratic party is and what's important to them and what they're about. and that's really come too head since i have become the mayor. if you look how i governed it's been republican conservative principles, pro-law enforcement, pro-public safety principles. i'm just saying that is the kind of republican i want to be and we need more of them. >> carley: lawrence, did you get a sense of how voters in dallas felt about that? i mean, they voted for a democrat candidate, now he is a republican, kind of shake things up. >> lawrence: i'm sure the mayor wouldn't mind me saying it. he is from the hood of dallas.

oak live and west dallas. the people for some reason, he has this connection with them as we are doing the interview, people were blowing their horn hey, mayor, how are you doing democrats. >> carley: they don't care about the party? >> lawrence: there are some people the people that are the elites and involved with politics. he goes i grew up here. i have been governing as a republican mayor for the last four years and they didn't even know. >> lawrence: right. his three goals. i love this guy. we spend a lot of time down in dallas because our kids are there with grandson. he has goals and make dallas the safest big city in america. they are pretty much right there. he wants to establish the best park system in texas and the lowest taxes in north texas. which is tough. >> lawrence: i don't see any democrat talking about that. and i think for the american people, they don't care about the r and d. they want their life better and the mayor talked about it. >> carley: ronald reagan said i didn't leave the democratic party the are democratic party

left me i'm sure that's how he feels, too. >> brian: in new york this week aoc and company are looking to raise taxes on the horrible millionaires and they're the worst people. people who make over $250,000. higher barack for people make over $323,000. new york everywheres losing people. 25 to 42 who make that on a record rate, they are raising taxes. >> lawrence: businesses keep leaving. tax on thousandaires. we saw a little bit of that interview you have more, right? >> lawrence: dallas mayor johnson hasn't done an interview until now. you will see the full thing coming up at 6:30 a.m. eastern time. excited for y'all to see. >> carley: dallas yesterday and here today just like that. >> brian: major cuts coming to the army. special ops forces expected to trim their arsenal. how it effects our national security. >> steve: sky high scramble america's airlines finding fake

jet parts in some of their airplanes flying right now. talking about the scramble to find it. >> carley: higher inflation rates, sticking inflation. september jobs report out this morning what it means for your bill. you'll hear about that, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ if you're one of them don't back down ♪ light it up when the sun goes down ♪

sports report. 10 out of 10. >> brian: trying to live up to your level. >> carley: also this, a new report of major cuts and army special forces troops that comes at the biden administration, shifts its focus from the middle east to asia. the army is reportedly planning to cut 3,000 special operations troops or 10% from its ranks. our next guest is a retired green beret lt. colonel scott mann joins us now. scott, good morning to you. how do you feel about this fourth reduction and what will the impact be? >> hey, carley, thanks for having me on. i mean, i'm concerned about it. i think a lot of the special operations active duty leadership are worried about that. particularly because just the heavy load that the special operations forces carry for the military. but, in particular in this case, we are talking about green berets. these are combat advisers. these are the ones like brian was just talking about, you know, aid to the ukrainians and training. a lot of that has come and continues to come from army green berets. and it's essential in working with our partners around the

world. >> carley: there are shrugging this off. cut special operators in a supporting rule so logistics, communications not trigger pullers. what do you say to that? >> phil, i think that's being pretty dismissive of the army special operations enablers who pulled a whole lot of triggers in the 20-year war right alongside their green beret brothers and sisters. number two, carley, it's indicative of the leadership gap to just slough that off. the military has lost trust since the afghanistan withdrawal. there has been external loss in trust down to 50%. frankly are telling their kids, their nephews and nieces don't join up because of what went down in afganistan. you see the chief of staff or the secretary of the army saying well, you know what? that's a warrior cast system and we are moving away from that i think there is a deeper leadership problem going on here that the army and the senior military leaders need to address or it's not going to go away a

few thousand cuts. >> carley: statement from the army secretary on special forces cuts. she says because our end strength has decreased we have four structure spaces, if you will, that are unmanned right now. we need to shrink the size of that overstructure because essentially if we don't, it's hollow structure. part of what we're doing is driven by recruiting challenges. we have had for the last few years. so, essentially what she is saying is that these are duplicate positions and that this is just, you know, bureaucracy run amok and that they are just trying to streamline things. what do you think about that? >> it sounds like a lot of corporate speak to me, frankly. you have 6500 green berets in the overall inventory of in a military of 1,000. green berets deployed at 65 countries around the world to include a 20 year war. anybody who thinks we are going to fight china russia isis or china unila unilateral deluded.

cut into a 6500 person force it, makes no sense. the last thing i will say carley on that is there is a growing capability of al-qaeda, regardless of what some of the reports are saying. >> carley: absolutely. >> they are regenerating in afghanistan. and there is a very good chance that we could see a resurgence of them and you can't mass produce special ops after an emergency occurs that is a special operations troop. >> carley: good point. scott, one of the reasons the pentagon is doing this because they are shifting focus from counter-terrorism operations to china. i think that would raise some alarms for a lot of people that they are rejiggering things and their focus isn't going to be on those counterintelligence missions anymore. do you think that that is the right thing to do now to take focus away from counter-terrorism and shift it to asia? >> i think a lot of the older veterans have seen this happen. i think there is a desire to

focus on china and russia. and while i don't necessarily disagree with that, you have to look at will and capacity of the enemy. al-qaeda and isis have enduring desire to strike the homeland. they have proven that they can and they will. and they now have a new unfettered safe haven in afghanistan. and they are going to make that happen. we need to remember that the enemy has a vote when it comes to national security. and i don't think we are looking at that right now. >> carley: that's true. we will see if lloyd austin approves this and if he does congress can overturn it. there are a lot of congress men and women who have deep support and admiration for the special operations community. it's certainly something to watch. scott mann, thank you so much for waking up early with us this morning. we appreciate it? >> thanks. >> carley: coming up, lawrence's exclusive interview with the dallas mayor speaking out for the very first time since ditching the democrats and joining the g.o.p. don't go anywhere. that's next. >> after the whole defund the police nonsense started, activists showed up at my house, trying to intentionally scare my family, scare my children that really was sort of the eye

>> steve: very popular mayor eric johnson shocked party leaders when he announced he is not going to be a democrat anymore. is he going to switch to a republican. >> carley: the switch makes dallas the largest city with a republican mayor. >> lawrence: and a "fox & friends" exclusive i have a chance to talk with the newly republican mayor on his decision. take a look. sixth mayor of the great state of dallas my friend, mayor johnson. >> lawrence: mayor, you just made this big decision. you switched parties. i guess the question is why? >> the reality is there is a really big gap at this point in time between who i am, what's important to me, what i'm about and where the democratic party is and what's important to them and what they are about. and that's really come to a head

since i have become the mayor. very soon after the whole defund the police nonsense started, activists showed up at my house, trying to intentionally scare my family, scare my children, scare me into changing my very, very clear position that we were not going to do that in dallas. and that really was sort of the eye opener in terms of this party is really serious about protecting the criminal element over the law abiding folks. and that they weren't really going to change. >> lawrence: i remember going around the country covering all these different protests and i remember they tried to shut the bridge down in dallas you stood with the cops when a lot were anti-cop at the moment. you stood firm, why? >> because i am a person of the people. i'm one of the people. i grew up in those communities. i know what the people over there want. they told me what they wanted. they want to live in a safe neighborhood and they don't want the police to leave.

they want more police. they want those police to be trained well. they want them to be practitioners of community policing. but they want them there. they didn't want the police department defunded. if i felt like you could actually be a true law and order fiscally responsible democrat i would have drop that i tried that you can't. i'm living proof you end up on an island isolated if you do that. >> lawrence: you're not just the mayor of a top ten major city that is now republican, but you are a black man. so, i guess the elephant in the room is how is community responding to their guy being a republican? >> they will start to ask themselves why are we still democrats? we trust him. he has never let us down. i believe this is actually going

to be black folk in the community i represent so long we need to give the republican party a look, especially today. >> lawrence: what is your message to the voter that's out here that's teetering they don't know if they republican party. >> get past the soundbites and personalities and be honest with yourself about what is important to you. >> lawrence: about to be a big race in 2024. >> a lot of candidates in the race. donald trump seems to be the one that's leading the pack right now. do you plan on weighing in on -- at any point? >> well, i don't plan on endorsing. i have been very clear about that. that's because that's been my policy. i decline endorsing joe biden when he was running for president the first time. i will be listening to the candidates. any of them can come to dallas to visit as senator scott did. i will sit down with them. >> lawrence: every republican nationally they want you to be on the road for the party. do you plan on doing higher office? is there is a senate run?

run for governor? what is it. >> that's probably the most common question i get. what are you running for next? i have one word answer for you, lawrence. i'm not running for anything. i want to be the mayor of dallas end of my term. i said i want to get off the sidelines. here is how i want to get off the sidelines we need morphos call conservatives and law and order people who have conservative principles. basically republican principles running for office at the local level, particularly for mayor. we need more republican mayors. we can't afford to let the cities look like they look right now from san francisco to chicago to philadelphia to d.c., the news is filled every day with all this out-of-control lawless behavior. it's because, again, it's a culture of lawlessness. it's lax da on the democratic side. lawless mayors. if you look how i have governed republican pro-law enforcement,

pro-public safety principles. i'm just saying that is the kind of republican i want to be and we need more of them. >> lawrence: so there you have it, brian. there is no real effort from the right to run conservative mayors. i think you just have the guy who has laid out a blueprint to get that done. >> brian: i mean, things have to get terrible before people examine and try to put in major change? and those cities, i would add in new york after that. have to look into it. and, for example, eric adams here in new york. he used to be a republican. and he is fed up. is he on the edge. would he be the next one? and, should john james, byron donalds, should this mayor get together with tim scott and say let's just start a movement and let's maybe start doing appearances? you hop on "the view." you hop on charlamagne tha god instead of it happening organically. >> carley: that move has started. that question how do voters feel people are thinking wait a

second, i'm not a democrat anymore, either. do you see a major party switch happening where republicans are now -- there is a lot of union workers. minorities that are trending red. and the college educated and rich folks are trending more blue. and that's a switch. >> ultimately, the proof is in the pudding. dallas is -- you get off the plane in dallas, you feel safe. everything is clean. everything works. it's beautiful. >> and it's cheap. >> steve: cheaper. >> ainsley: supported police and you didn't see democratic mayors do this. >> brian: do you think this is it for higher office? >> lawrence: i don't know. i take him at his word because he is not the type of republican that is going to give this elaborate speech. is he very simple. maybe not now but in the future, i can see the party calling him on. >> steve: exactly because he is term limited. he just has the one term. >> carley: meeting with scott

and vivek ramaswamy ambition. that's a good thing. >> steve: thanks for going. >> brian: that was great. >> steve: move over, kids, migrants are taking over a football field in the which i city of chicago. residents have a message for the mayor there. listen. >> we have already eat crap. why have we always got to be at the bottom of the barrel. >> no. turn the buses around. >> you are selling us out for people who can't vote. >> steve: we're going to hear from some much those residents coming up on this telecast. >> brian: first, caucus chaos republicans on one committee call it quits after their democratic colleagues voted to oust mccarthy. was there a deal in the works that got nixed at the last moment? congressman brian fitzpatrick with that exclusive story, next. ♪

solvers caucus framework. we don't believe in government shutdowns. we issued a framework endorse the bill and ultimately there was a house bill to avert a shutdown that was put on the floor. speaker mccarthy pulled a rabbit out of his hat. he saved our country from the shutdown. the senate stood down and took up the house bill and we were under the assumption logical assumption that that kind of behavior would be rewarded, particularly from our colleagues across the aisle and then fast-forward three days later this all happened so quick, the motion to vacate gets put on the floor. and we went to our colleagues and said can you at least buy us some time? 48 hours? we can't rewrite a 300 page rules package to make the housework more in a bipartisan manner in 8 hours. it's impossible. so our request was can you vote to table it just this one time because the -- my colleague who brought this motion was not going to stop the first time. he was prepared to go multiple times every single week. >> brian: matt gaetz? >> we said to our colleagues can you vote present on the motion

to table? not even to table it, not even to not vacate, but just to vote present on the motion to table. >> brian: people know that aren't in congress. you mean democrats. >> i do, i do. >> brian: okay. go ahead. >> that's all we were asking for was time, brian. that's why so many republicans in our group that are very, very upset and add me to that list. we're going to get together next week. this is a member-driven group and we are going to decide as a group, as a family to figure out how to proceed. >> brian: you might end the problem solver's conference they collapsed under pressure from hakeem jeffries? >> i don't think the group is going toned, brian. i'm going to leave that to the members. needs to be forum where democrats and republicans talk particularly in close margins in divided chambers. you need some forum. but i would say that, you know, the members are going to decide what that is going to look like going forward. >> brian: so, congressman, just to be clear, there was a deal

working behind the scenes that would equal out the number of people on the rules committee, make it even. leave the chairperson republican. ranking member democrat. but that would give -- that would be enough. republicans could give up a seat on that rules committee in order to table it for 48 hours to try to get a deal together to save kevin mccarthy. am i correct? >> it was the rules package in total, brian, so basically it was rank and file member empowerment, encouraging written in a way to encourage more bipartisan bills to come to the floor. we couldn't get past the rules vote. >> brian: that's what the rules committee does. >> the rules package is what you vote on on the first day of congress. it sets the stage for how the floor is going to pray. the rules committee functions under the rules package. so that's what we were going to revisit. you cannot rewrite that particularly in a transformative way in eight hours. we just couldn't do it. all we were asking for was time. and that time was not afforded to us sadly.

>> brian: hakeem jeffries played the face the nation clip the whole caucus said we are leaving kevin mccarthy out. so now, yesterday, president trump endorsed jim jordan. where were you and what does that mean? >> well, i met with jim last night. i will say, brian, i get along with literally all my colleagues. there is no hard feelings, even though amongst any of us even though a lot of us have very different views. i met with jim yesterday. we have always had a solid relationship. is he a friend. going to be talking to leader scalise today and kevin hern is thinking about throwing his hat in the ring. what we do, brian, is we meet with these members as groups. so, the republican main street group, problem solvers, we are going to do forums and allow them to present. mainly the motion to vacate, brian. we want to make sure that that is mix fixed. we cannot perpetuate this problem we saw last week. >> brian: it's bad for the country. lastly, there are so many quality candidates.

you don't see 218 happening easily which makes you think that there might be a place for kevin mccarthy to slide back in? >> well, all options are on the table right now. if any of the candidates can't get there look how hard it was for kevin to get there kevin has been the leader of this party, undisputed leader of this party since the day i got here. and he did a tremendous job holding the conference together. was tremendous in all facets of the job. so, it's unclear, particularly after so many feelings from last week whether anybody can get to 218. we will see if that happens. if it doesn't, don't be surprised if you see calls for kevin to reemerge. >> brian: why not? more unexpected. congressman brian fitzpatrick, just trying to make congress work. thanks so much. >> you bet, thanks, brian. >> brian: we reached out to the minority leader's office for a statement on the deal that would have saved kevin mccarthy but did not receive a response.

hey peyton, thanks for hosting slider sunday. you got it! but aren't we missing something? hmmm... look who saved slider sunday again! wow... eli! eli! eli! here we go... (♪) a perfect king's hawaiian slider. tastes good too! classic eli... love that guy! seriously? king's hawaiian slider sunday... the only way to sunday! there are giants among us. they are the men and women building our navy's next generation submarines. they are giants in what they do because they work in a place where they can grow. where they can learn the skills to build careers as powerful as the beasts they forge.

we build giants. because it takes one to build one. >> steve: welcome back. it is a sky high scramble the airlines delta southwest and american are looking over their plane's engines for fault with parts after an airline parts broker, a middleman, allegedly forged safety certificates. apparently critical components ranranging from small bolts to engine cure bine blades now need to be replaced. aviation consultant mike boyd joins us right now. mike, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> steve: so, this is terrifying. i just saw a daily mail headline that said is this the most dangerous scam in aviation history? apparently this middleman sold parts from the u.k. to american airlines that the parts are not

actually certified. they sent a piece of paper that said they are certified but that was not true. so, how dangerous are those parts in airplanes? >> probably less so than you might think. probably most of them are functional but you can't track back whether they have been overhauled properly. that's the big issue here. the big issue isn't the very few airplanes. number one, united, american, every airline out there in full metal jacket mode looking at all their records. remember, everything is tracked on an airplane. right now we are probably safer than we were only because they are looking at everything. the real issue is how did these parts get through and how did this front person, whatever aog, whatever they are in the u.k., how did they get into the system? that's the real issue and how do you have falsified parts and falsified documents to get in. that's an issue for the faa to get into and i haven't heard much. >> steve: i see the number of engines affected by uncertified parts is 126. mike, the airlines with these

bad parts, somebody called them and said hey, you got to take that plane out of service and fix it, right? the stuff that we know, the machines with the bad stuff are not flying today, right? >> no, they are not flying. they are being, you know, properly repaired. but, keep in mind, if you have 127 engines or something like that. you know, there are probably 25,000 of these cfm 56 engines flying in the sky right now. it's a small number. the big news here is you better believe they are looking at every part not just for these engines but everything out there to make sure this doesn't get through again. in that sense we are safer. the question is for the faa how did these parts get in there. how did these things get frankly, you know, what do you call doctored to get into the system? that's the real issue. >> steve: that was my next and final question and that is, you know, the faa, part of the department of transportation,

secretary buttigieg, you would think, would issue something. i haven't seen anything yet. but, it becomes a question of oversight. you know, why isn't the faa taking a better lead on this? >> well, number one, the faa has been leaderless and, you know, it's been a political organization. chuck schumer suggesting people to run the faa for crying out loud. and buttigieg, let's be real blunt he doesn't know what he is doing. to from that perspective we have a real issue in more than just parts. in that case buttigieg should be in front of this and in front of it and should be here today instead of me. he's not. that's going to be another issue here. for the flying public, believe me, we are probably just as safe -- probably safer now. between airlines, american, delta, united, southwest, they are looking at every part on their airplanes. no not just these engine parts, they are tightening them up and have a much tighter system going forward because they can't trust what is coming in. >> steve: it is a scary story. i'm glad somebody
