Summary

Late Wednesday night, an American Airlines plane carrying over 60 people collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. With no survivors, President Trump gave his condolences to the affected families. While exactly why this happened is still under investigation, the President said the mismanagement of the FAA and their DEI priorities could be to blame. FOX’s John Saucier speaks with aviation expert and President of Boyd Group International, Michael Boyd, to discuss early analysis of why this crash occurred, the need for a better FAA, and his belief that Trump is right for scrutinizing DEI priorities.
