Episode notes
Conflicting Claims Over U.S.-Iran Negotiations
- President Trump announced talks with Iran and claimed 15 points of agreement, then delayed strikes to see how negotiations proceed.
- Iran denies any dialogue, markets briefly calmed then oil climbed above $100 a barrel while the IEA called the crisis worse than 1973 and 1979 combined.
Runway Collision Details From LaGuardia Audio
- Audio from LaGuardia's runway collision revealed a fire truck received permission to cross, then an air traffic controller repeatedly told it to stop and later said, I messed up.
- Two pilots died, dozens injured, and the runway will likely close for days as investigators examine recordings and staffing issues.
ICE Deployed To Airports But Delays Persist
- The Trump administration deployed ICE agents to airports to help understaffed TSA, but passengers still faced extreme delays like five-hour security waits in Houston.
- ICE is funded separately so agents can work during the DHS funding dispute, and arrests at airports occurred though DHS says some were unrelated to the TSA-support plan.
