Good morning and welcome to Bongino Report Early Edition. Today we have a very special guest, the Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, and my dad. Dad, thanks for being here.
It's good to be here, Evita. Thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. First time. My debut on the Early Edition, so thanks for having me.
A debut on the Early Edition. I'm so honored to have a cabinet member here. It was a tough guest to get, so thank you.
I was getting spammed, and I said, finally, yes.
Yes, he'll come on my show. I appreciate it. And we're going to cover some serious topics today, some fun ones, but first we're going to start with some serious ones because there's a lot of mass hysteria right now. You're the Secretary of Transportation, and people are all over the internet, right and left, saying that planes are falling out of the sky.
And this narrative has been really, I think, ignited by your first day online. in office. You were sworn in by J.D. Vance. I was with you in D.C. That evening, you had this tragic, historic plane crash where an American Airlines flight collides with this military helicopter. What was going through your head that night?
Well, to your point, right, I was just in the job. Everyone else had gone home from D.C. You actually were there in the hotel with me. And it's interesting, in today's social media, You would think I might know what's happening first, but I find out first on Twitter. Moments after the plane went down on Twitter, we were getting reports. And so it was what it probably took me 15, 20 minutes.
I was, I brushed my teeth. I was going to bed, put my clothes back on and went down to the FAA where my whole team came in along with the FAA team. And listen, we were tracking the audio, watching what was happening with the recovery. and getting a lot of information flowing as to what the situation was and what had actually happened.
But to your point, it's my first 10 hours in the job and this happens. But again, if you've had life experiences and you know how to handle pressure and you know how to handle a crisis, you can step in and you can handle anything. And again, this was, I mean, this was horrific. 67 people lost their lives in this crash. And it shouldn't have happened.
