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.
