0:00.0	Welcome to the damage report.
0:18.0	I'm Yasmin Oliq Khan.
0:20.0	I'm in for John Ida Rola today. He is out.
0:23.1	And it is Friday. It's a beautiful day here in Houston. So I can't wait to get outside after
0:27.7	this show is over. But I am joined with Jordan Ewell. Jordan, how are you doing today?
0:34.1	I'm doing well, yes. Happy to be here to fill in for Brett.
0:44.3	Yes. A lot of people say I'm a more handsome, a funnier, and more hairy Brett Ehrlich. They do say that, yes. Yeah, they're always saying that.
0:47.3	Typical. So here, what a treat for our viewers this Friday, just the better version of Brett today. Is Brett watching? Okay. Well, anyway, we do have some garbage people for you today, as promised for every Friday on the damage report. We do have a lot of other stories to get to, though, before we get to those garbage people. So let's get right into it. There is corruption in the air.

1:46.0	Everybody is able to hold themselves accountable in this Trump government.
1:50.0	So Elon Musk is no exception, it would seem.
1:53.0	This week, though, Elon Musk began pointing fingers at Verizon for putting air traffic travelers at very serious risk. I'm traveling tomorrow, so this is not very reassuring.
2:03.6	He tweeted on X, the Verizon system is not working, and so is putting air travelers at serious risk.
2:11.6	We'll see.
2:12.6	But this seems to be an emergent behavior that we're seeing in government.
2:16.6	This is a common tactic that has been happening a lot lately.
2:20.3	They either manufacture a problem or they exacerbate an existing problem, say, look, the government, it's not doing its job.
2:28.2	It's no good at this.
