0:00.0	Welcome, everybody, to the Jim Acosta show. It's Monday, February 17th. It is President's Day.
0:06.1	You can see on the bottom of the screen right there. Michael Cohen is joining me. He's going to be talking with me in just a few moments.
0:12.8	Get you caught up on everything that's happening. I do want to tell you a little bit about some breaking news out of Toronto.
0:18.6	Before we get to some of the other day's news. The Toronto Star
0:21.9	reporting that a plane has crashed at the Toronto Pearson International Airport appears to have
