About this episode

Joe Pags discusses Trump's speech, airline controversies, and election interference with guest Gary Berntsen.

Pags continues breaking down President Trump's primetime address, arguing that even his biggest critics should pay attention to what was actually said. He and the crew have some fun reacting to reports that United Airlines would allow passengers to change flights if they didn't want to land at the newly renamed Donald J. Trump Airport, before separating fact from fiction and digging into the full story. Pags also discusses the FAA's push for billions of dollars to modernize America's aging air traffic control system, then offers a sarcastic take on a cruise that was denied entry into ports in Turkey and Egypt. He also looks at Maine Senate candidate Ashley Webb and why, according to Pags, she may not be who voters think she is. Finally, former CIA special operations officer Gary Berntsen returns to continue the conversation about alleged election interference, the evidence he says he uncovered, and why he believes it deserves further investigation.
