| These airlines, somebody has got to do something. | |
| And I think at some point, the President of the United States can use this issue. | |
| You know, they're talking about uh, you know, midterms, all of that, and next, you know, they're really going to come after Trump. | |
| There are issues that they'll use to drive him out of office. | |
| If you become the guy that turns around this airline situation, if you lead the charge, that's instant re-election. | |
| People are getting abused all over the place on every plane. | |
| You're being treated like farm animals when you get on a plane, and this goes on nowhere else in the world. | |
| If you flew on any airline in the world, if you were in Asia on Cathay Pacific, if you were on uh Luftanza, anyway, they treat you like a king or a queen. | |
| If you took uh an airline from the most awful Middle Eastern dictator country, you'll be treated so well on those airlines. | |
| If you ever been in uh Emirate Air, you'd think you're on the most luxurious cruise you've ever been on. | |
| It's only why is it only in this country we allow this to go on? | |
| First of all, uh there used to be a time where you'd uh take a seat and maybe there maybe there are a lot of people on the plane, maybe it's not so full. | |
| Now they no plane can take off unless it is absolutely packed, and they've made the seats smaller and smaller and tighter and tighter. | |
| They got it down to 31 inches between seats, leg room. | |
| You could buy the one of those little fiats that's got more than 31 inches of leg room. | |
| And American Airlines just announced they're redesigning the plane. | |
| They figured out a way to get it down to 29 inches. | |
| And I don't know if you've noticed this. | |
| The seatback behind you is getting thinner and thinner and thinner, and what they call the pitch, like how far back it goes. | |
| Uh remember they used to say put your seat in the upright position. | |
| Now you'd pray for that upright position. | |
| Now the regular position, the pitch is even higher, so they can put the seats behind you even closer. | |
| This is absolutely ridiculous. | |
| This is not allowed in any other profession. | |
| And then uh Ethan is telling me he's got it you got a ticket, you're all paid for, you get you're sitting on the plane, you have to get up. | |
| We overbooked the flight, you can't sit here. | |
| What? | |
| And look at this uh Delta Airlines video that's gone viral. | |
| This guy's not leaving. | |
| He's got his kids, and they said, Well, you're gonna go to jail because we can never have you arrested and you're going to jail. | |
| He goes, But I have my my kids here. | |
| You'll be in jail and your kids will be there alone. | |
| And who there's no other name any other business where you could do this to anybody. | |
| Anybody. | |
| Imagine if you're in a nice restaurant, uh, you have to get up. | |
| We need the table. | |
| We're overbooked. | |
| Well, but I just started eating. | |
| If you don't get up, I'm calling the police in here and you're going to jail. | |
| It's only because these airlines, it's it's the only situation you walk into where you're super regulated by government regulations. | |
| There's all kinds of laws, regulations that don't apply anywhere else, but it's got to change. | |
| Uh and President Donald Trump is the guy to do it. | |
| He you can imagine if he speaks out about it the way he communicates, he'll really get it across. | |
| He would call in uh the heads of every airline, it's probably twenty-five people. | |
| You get them in a room, and you just say, This cannot go on. | |
| You're gonna have to figure something out. | |
| You can't treat people like this anymore. |
