Trump Begins Blame Game for Deadly Plane Crash in DC 1/30/25

The Mark Thompson Show

We are following the deadly collision of a plane and a helicopter last night in D.C. We will examine the message Trump sent shortly after the crash and why it’s importat. Aviation expert Patrick Weil joins. Did Elon Musk act without approval from President Trump when he sent all federal workers a “deferred resignation” buyout letter? It seems he went around key Trump officials, took over the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and presented an offer very much like he did at Twitter, worded similarly. Federal workers union officials are warning employees not to take the deal yet as it is likely illegal. First, the funding for such a deal has not been approved by Congress. Second, there are laws governing the amount of money that federal workers can be offered. We welcome former Federal Prosecutor Daid Katz. We’l ask him if the fed buyout offer is legal and why a judge put a stop to Trump’s federal Funding cuts. We also lighten up the mood with comedian JL Cauvin. He recently released a Trump stand up special.
