Making engines you don't need

I'm Malcolm Walter WRKO Neill is our three of veterans for a begins now at six --

What gum balls drugs and interesting. Ornaments have been spotted on the White House Christmas tree in the blue room featured on this year's tree. -- conclude the Communist leader Mao storm door Fred -- is borrow money.

And if you look at the way Barack Obama was image he was is that it's a -- they'll have a shot of him with the seal the president if he goes back to. It almost looks like -- Halo -- is -- brother Robin. With the presidential seal nearby is because he's right.

Six one's -- shows 666. Years sixty year congressman parker Griffith of Alabama has announced he's switching parties and becoming a Republican and can no longer aligned myself. For the party that continues to -- pursue legislation that is bad for our country. First our economy. And drives us further and further into debt thanks and the number of people not -- here. Just all trying to get along broad just from a new -- world headquarters building militarily store. That was Harry Reid is here he says I said -- a lot of people rod Rodriguez. Why can't we all get along now the interesting part of that conversation is what are the other people say back. Supervalu area drug got you know how did you make last call you are restarted. Judiciously.

This guy given the position of power -- isn't it amazing I have no it's amazing I mean Nancy Pelosi you may not like her. But you know she's a shark she would kill any thing in her path a but -- really just don't I'm Carol pick up the -- now now it's somehow we've -- the ruthlessness. I mean as you can see a life. And he's not a good -- You can tell when he's lying he sounds even more smarmy than usual reminds me the story in this is I think really true of almost everybody who -- particular. Political rule body. There's a Massachusetts legislature do you the United States congress the United States senate. For the first several months after elected you kind of pinch yourself and say oh my god how -- I had and again why am -- doing here we're gonna I don't Jeff I you lofty realize how like you out a few months after that. His stomach and ransom ought to how -- help today yeah yeah yeah concluded dumbest people -- ever seen in my life. It's it it that's bad that's how you feel about your fellow legislators well now I headed I had a different tricks are. But many -- of her but many others echoed that conclusion let's -- a wedge. Can we talk about people hate the country yeah anybody who supports the construction. Of military equipment does not need it the military itself has said please. Do not. Produce this forum I love this topic by anybody who are forces those pieces of legislation that Portugal through chuck. No ignoring the Pentagon where your essentially doing is killing American soldiers you're saying. The thing they need will not to meet built. Because we're gonna divert these funds to build the thing that's not needed. And that is squandering the assets could be making American troops more effective in making them safer. Who is doing that today our award of the day goes to Senator John Kerry and former congressman John Tierney who are working hard in Washington. To make shore. That money goes to the GE plan and went to build an engine that nobody wants you won't be surprised to hear that I disagree with him. On which sparked on the names that I named the wrong on virtually everything that you said doctor there's nothing that's distributable -- quick to jump on John Cheney and John Kerry and anybody else who failed to stand up from -- law that says -- that. You record days ahead but you see where you're wrong on this WS John Kerry. Has so much influence now that he could get us how much money is involved here. Your call the dollar I don't we'll get into an -- there's so much it he's got so much power in Washington that he could get us or whatever the price tag is for any -- Right so -- there why isn't he going sank. We don't need this engine and it would be foolhardy to build an engine we don't need 600 million dollars 600 million dollars coming to the state of Massachusetts in and move -- hundreds of jobs may be thousands of jobs. It's actually spread across several states -- well that is truly an eighty facility or we may get nothing here Massachusetts as it turns out but. Presumably they'll be hundreds of jobs and as a result of this money and that's a good thing. It's not a good thing to get a good result. By making a bad result yeah yeah -- the first guy and I join you know there's another I I am pod of I.

Don't mind taking the lead but oftentimes I don't mind singing hey you know a duet the F. I'd like I join you when you give your full throated raw. To the notion of competition competition brings out the best in entities in -- the Indian individuals competition will generally lead to better quality better outcomes at less cost. This whole program is designed to make sure that somebody does not have -- locked. On the production of the -- of the jet engine involved. Is that it is wise from a military's point of view it is wise know the military doesn't want to have a backup and use -- you sit here and think that somehow or other the Pentagon doesn't have his own version. In its own brand of politics separate or removed from your scrutiny in my scrutiny separated removed from our ability to influence it in anyway we have some influenced as -- behind this microphone every day and then when we vote. To say you know what I like John -- and vote -- you don't like -- you're not gonna -- from -- John Kerry.

Let's get your point is we should I do any assurances that jet engine that the Pentagon doesn't want. That was a great speech what the Thomas indeed. Finneran is a -- us -- money for -- ha ha ha ha -- last disingenuous -- opt opt. By the way. The Pentagon up until a couple of years ago was all -- the parallel programmers are far and things have changed things of -- don't need it any OK and you know what Winfrey is did -- Senator -- congressman TNT within their right to say to the Pentagon you know what. We disagree. With you. And you and I talk on a lie your way -- having America bristle with Bob lament of so nobody takes us less than serious like. Bristle Obama bristle with arm -- that will not values -- not so loggers will take us seriously does there won't be used. The Pentagon says it all day -- the Pentagon the infallible. Pentagon's. Yeah a mother of god the Pentagon that. Utilize -- you're right that's why he volume treatise on the -- fallibility of the Pentagon and you think it just by coincidence. The are members of congress who say this program has to stay in effect had just. Co SLI haven't you want to be the beneficiaries of the money. Will ideally it's a pork per I would I would never denied it is going to be an aspect of local politics -- local talk if you other congressmen are represented -- needed to sit idly by while some military based and employs 5000 people -- company that employs 2000 people shut down -- gonna sit there it's -- you know what. I talked with some obscure a student staff general originally I would and he told me don't worry about those jobs congressman here's what I would be a priority killed a congressman who is a different and I know that. -- John Kerry army or coaches are and our congressmen. We're talking about the great John Kerry -- if I of the great John Kerry aides say I call up Brock on a cellphone because I have had on the -- one show and I would say the over Iraq yeah can you do me a favor got we've got this program the Pentagon doesn't want to rather than he won another one of the democratic chorus. Smith squander money for -- reasons rather than for good policy. I thought maybe we could try to make your administration all little bit about what you promised hope and change. And what she used the money for something we need instead of wasting it for an -- the Pentagon doesn't want so why don't we redeploy. The G plan and lend it to -- Very good news motorists for Windmills. That will generate. Free electricity from give enjoy a -- god. And then you have got in your side in the next election brackets they want and that's pretty compelling stuff I like lot of rain have I've been told I'm supposed to support green things. I'm totally when elections the more we say -- word -- I. I carry your body so I think they'll. By the way -- position -- complete solidarity with Barack Obama it's Obama wants to eliminate this you know our local -- the Pentagon -- like he's -- Kenya as well and -- obviously the Pentagon says we're gonna use that don't -- we don't wanna know we don't that is -- Asia middle initial tests for stocks for -- don't sidestepped the judge -- in alignment that solidarity with Barack Obama. How a local guy dad thanks we'll be right once -- wanna -- how hot accidents happened he was right -- John a school charter school he's got his once once and done -- that you might my trip to use. Hot hot hot hot hot what do you -- this idea 600 million dollars coming to land to build a mansion the Pentagon doesn't want. -- You know you compete -- the rest your -- and the -- they know what he's got a body you're gonna tell me that the G engine video of duty five is a -- it's a fatty -- is unpopular is you have because they did pentagon doesn't he didn't did us a target may have good morning Iran with Todd the genius and -- the disingenuous.

ha ha ha ha ha ha. To listen I was -- very good want to know why you may be what's going on Doug.

You know I've been sort of a zero sum game because of low only so many engines that are going to be made. And whoever's got the contract now I think it's crap where -- they're gonna take and give away from them and put him up to GE. So does not going to be getting that job creation will differ at all.

No there will be probably because will be wasting a lot of money so it might actually wasted on unnecessary people which by the way is the number one plank of the Democratic Party higher unnecessary -- a couple of moments ago you agreed that the competition. Was a good thing you -- product you're gonna have gotten -- and they don't. I don't want the -- processor -- nobody's gonna ask yourself then how the Pentagon came to that decision. They go to a temple in which they don't talk to anybody who don't speak to everybody John had not influenced compared to John Kerry yes you can the only 010 I -- congressman from California who represented Pratt and -- apparently. Went to another temple and said I cannot possibly -- the Pentagon to come to the -- results. And our congressman stated that to the Pentagon gets what these guys and gals have been GE to a fabulous job -- his engine just great -- different time lines -- this point had they no longer want the engine so instituting a program work. In fifty years. Gene might be producing another engine that nobody wants.

They connect get a word and -- you. It's the oldest many of these planes and they don't need Israeli engineer exactly it you know it stands to reason that when you start up -- production line from zero. There are a lot of overhead cost that didn't exist before that they can't possibly make it for the same price. This -- Italy and Russia is a huge increase in the number of 52 jet engines are going to be made in the -- and -- coming back.

Talking to me if -- you're smart -- Use your brain power doing something productive don't try to talk -- democratic camp --

Another thing that's really -- mind. My little very here I got left mistaken 23 million dollars so the defense budget. While we're at war and and -- that Ted Kennedy's senate refer. What -- it is some social.

For all the destruction of American policy and constitute yet.

Some policy thing -- absolutely nothing to do with defense and there are people over the -- Or expose is still lives are in danger and -- money to take care of this guy in the -- the only could write a check for that 23 million of them.

You're right it's -- disgusting thing that also should be opposed it's yet another one of the democrats' plans to squander money as a way to get America back on track. 617266. Succeeds sixtieth. Mark is an -- hill. I wish someone living here -- she said I'm from Haverhill. I saw huge issue I didn't drive my health is never -- didn't say I asked on the banks of the -- she still -- nice little town -- when your college I met her like thirty years later they'll -- you silly I never realized that what you're alert to say the name of the town. -- good morning.

Yes it works for general market twenty years ago were little engine went and Jerry. -- you -- another company -- it doesn't work the -- concrete emotional warmth legal responsibility. For the other companies. Denied him. Forty's -- more short circuit and so wound. Do truly not a parallel program. There and they usually are well this isn't -- police and community terrorism -- second. Tooling up cost control what's really awful.

I was confused by this afternoon you're saying that they're not identical. Engines at the end of the.

Well. Lola Moore all world broke clear no worries that he controls here's just a person -- do you trucking company I. Well region trying to -- the State Street and our knowledge bowl. What an optional -- socialist. So -- And more into text engine.

They make a proprietary by reinventing the wheel and that costs money.

Yeah I don't want both new responsiveness -- with a birdie at the end result this Nolan. I -- we've -- and parts here -- digitally morphed into such an engine.

So the end result is an efficiency extra costs. Can what do you say about that time to step how hot hot hot hot hot. I gonna give you -- yeah -- a three step up and out but I'm not about to say suggest that G cannot compete appropriately. With the United Technologies -- the folks down there who have the Pratt Whitney. There -- two at least as the globe reported to separate engines yet it's -- and it's a competition. Between and yes now the Pentagon came to its decision where its recommendation. About four years ago apparently any each year since that decision. Senator Kerry and others John -- involved. Have said wait a minute we disagree with this we think it's important because over the long run we think the competition will drive down costs and can handle -- while disputing that the nature of their argument is that generally missile -- okay is a case where the Pentagon says it doesn't -- the end philosophically and conceptually they absolutely right now it comes to at some point somebody is gonna have to make a decision you just say -- the Pentagon made the decision -- arms and -- why would you automatically -- effect at that -- when you don't automatically -- anyone -- if you highlight the -- yeah I guess what -- we all have the market.

I don't know I kind of got a much more skeptical John care all no no when he does if he really thinks those jobs are some port what is he just write a check himself decision and I'm not his wife has the richest man in the US senate 617266686. He would -- 680 WRKO.

Course come look at the headline on The Today Show. Information. On Michael Jackson. And his drug abuse. How come you haven't been sharing this with us we could've been talking about it all morning thank -- to producer's job thank god in this. Between dragon Michael Jackson's drug use new details on abuse charges include.

That's my boy card she is following it finally learn and Michael Jackson the flow -- care is our streak of freedom and -- for Michael Jackson you would never have learned to -- a tough tough tough. Tough tough tough tough. There's always -- respectful. I let's get back to this story about the IGE plant in York criticism of congressman tinian Senator Kerry. Wondered just treat two very quick paragraphs as comes from the globe -- Plans for a back up engine designed by G -- initiated more than a second go by congress with the hope that the military. Would hold competitions between the two versions. They cited as a model the great engine war of the 1980s. When both companies develop engines the F sixteen. India was held regular competition for production contracts the government estimated that over the life -- the F sixteen program having -- Competing engine save taxpayers. Billions and billions by forcing the companies to offer better prices and improve the engine's performance now listen this. The -- plan to right now to date senator Todd finder just manufactures the engine for the navy's FA eighteen EF super hornet fighter jet. That's scheduled to be replaced by the F 35 and that's the one that's it's controversial the guy from GE says look. This is the only jet fighter engine that is on the horizon. The entire supply chain in GE aviation we'll play a huge role in the delivery of the new. Engines there are already providing the engines for the navy super hornet fighter jet. They've already been engaged in a competition earlier in the eighties that save their attacks -- billions. In the Jeep plant employs duty 400 people you know -- congressman -- And Senator Kerry did nothing on this if they just accepted. 82006. Decision out of the Pentagon. You would be screaming at that time I'll tell you I was -- that they -- different to the plight of Massachusetts. Work is titled how much better -- and you say. 2006 the Pentagon might have been manipulated by. Somebody. Like kill John Kerry could've been the commander in chief complement to print George Bush saying in other Pratt Whitney plant in Texas means a lot more to me than a Jeep plant temelin. How would that affect the judgement senator find.

I would say LSI's step that's I would -- like shut down the Pentagon and find a new agency -- around the military does are we obviously can't trust them the -- if the if the what is an F sixteen what is that -- their canceled their that they built. Currently the F duty five is the new yeah I was so when they built currently at the oh it's the final eighteen. They're aliens are in another it's the FA eighteen EF. Eighteenth the -- at the eighteenth PF gets a pin striped on the side aren't that hey it says you got some get an increase. Put on a Mets. Are you why don't they just Jamaica want to make it. What are you kidding me don't. Technology that's why. Do you think the Russians and the Chinese are going back -- which -- got to -- crap are you trying to say you'll develop pentagon doesn't want the play in the making currently anymore so the canceling. That the technology has improved you want the best you want the fastest most of noble may be liable engine may be the reason. All these years into the -- the F 35 that the Pentagon doesn't want to start having a second company make the engine for competition now is because the technology on this aircraft is fading from relevance heavy consider that on mister smarty pants. Which technology the new technology and thirty I'd say that don't want anymore. Then did so so the competition would be to op but so both companies gonna reach for this guy they're but the as the coast -- I had great book by Tom -- About the space race -- no argument idea it was great. You'll read about the engines and how they test the performance and went to max it out and can Alter the design that's what America result about America should never lose these competitions and internally. We should be we're gonna encourage these -- I saw America is all right senator Larry and political -- I won't even order the Pentagon says we don't want that this did this weapon anymore. Where this plane anymore than what we do the American way is to ignore them and produce it anyway because of the political leverage. Of the people who would lose jobs in their district if the change were to be -- that's where this is like go to the Ford Motor Co. in the year 2009 -- We think it would be a brilliant idea if you had competition for the production of the engine for the Edsel and they -- stop building Agile financial fifteen years go to it was a miserable.

Failing a couple atomic Tuesday there's all right I get out carbon gesture drivers yeah this is hot hot hot up -- Well my god so Todd is -- US senate announced senator sidestep is just going to completely except. And full face. Some judgment -- reached by the Obama and -- urgent I had always urging some congressman from Georgia who's got a -- Pratt Whitney -- district that god might sit on the -- services committees of the guys who hasn't changed from Democrats -- albatross not trust them six -- 72666860. Brock can manage our role here on atomic -- what's going on.

He gave me out on this because it gives them. It's nothing that can frustrating me for a long time it and ate it seemed as though our government needs on the state and even more so now on a national level. I've got to look forward to it the only thing they're worried about is self preservation of the real pure luck as well join the politicians. And and I think that you know this. This does it isn't prettiest it's the city has already. Over the years they've made it more and more complicated for the average person to just live their lives which makes it more and more difficult for us stout. Any kind of time despair and are really react. Truly a bit damaged that they're going to the American way have a lot.

Tried -- good point -- first point though is essential for everybody know understand that. Net it's become a bow whatever works for the individual involved rather than they're being an underlying principle what's best for the nation so we know politicians always a.

Found themselves but we also know they used to have some principles the principles have been thrown away now. It's whatever color red scam contrary unnecessary your medical value as an example of there's something new there is some tools like this Jerry Maureen that's gone on would -- this couple year.

The principal is competition will bring out the best. He'd come everybody you know all you're doing it now -- my music has stated you're gonna have -- politics you're using -- a few people should not go unchallenged you're using an argument that makes sense in order to trick people. Because it doesn't apply in this case. -- doesn't apply apply because there isn't -- that -- time and -- does -- know at Johnson pentagon 1006 the F 35 it doesn't want the second engine and can you guarantee me in every lesson that they would -- politics not unduly influences inappropriate influences to the Pentagon -- I have a couple of years -- know what I can guarantee you would like -- supposed to accept that at full faith and the -- guys value doesn't accept -- he should hold hearings and get to the bottom of the problem -- to go try to -- ports to come in a Massachusetts and simply circumvent the Pentagon. And go outside the normal political process is illegitimate. It's manipulative it's sport outside the political process this is the essence of the political -- what -- villages US into the Pentagon he listened to Pratt -- he's -- and -- jury is he's taken that want to -- pop -- Massachusetts what you don't change the world if you're not willing to stand up and change some in your own backyard. Mike in new and good morning all easily said 30 yeah but if he did not stand up and make despite you'd say. Carries in different he checked out he's -- in Switzerland. Hang around with the beautiful people he forgot the people back in what I was saying he remembers the people in India say hello Lisa Friday's operations he's in subterranean don't value.

And I would say how are you have no idea I come up -- new things all the time you can't match I thought I might. Good morning that you are great debt you back -- racial reason -- like what's going on this I know why it started doing okay soon everything just a bit dark side.

They're number one thing in the last decade -- baby -- years ago we discovered DNA. Well that's there and so -- DNA is so we're. Exposure to -- political. Problem I -- political. You scratch my back out great job.

I think it's actually if you could get NCAA will itself affected him on a structural level. Yeah absolutely it's my choice is Mike do you wanna tell them the a 3400 people G that in a -- have a job. Get a -- yeah. I'm I don't really. They're held out of high school although I'm like well it didn't help -- make when Mel South Dakota. Today motors for the new green card is -- how -- something we need a.

blogs. Can make well what the Second Amendment that would normally probably. You can you can -- you may you might look forward -- two million you know you.

It is not a thought I want you chipset DL is not night while. Yeah you -- all I like the fact that makes given -- some kind of absolution here it's pretty good its rapid if felt sorry he forgives you all I love this all everybody's gonna call agree with you across this is a fraud the so wasted taxpayer money the minute they are in offices -- senator or congressman. They'd be singing a different -- may -- right they might succumb to the same pressure the -- succumb to -- Russia got no he's not pressured out of course you actually take into account the much lodge a series of factors I slogans and slogans -- cliche writing -- slogans is a little slower than sidestepping and water birds and codified very sidesteps and Logan -- island hot hot. Hot hot you would like -- let's go to Iran -- Iraq what's going on.

And -- I'm not -- I want to let you know that he thirty about it the next generation of fighter not what they're not. But it did it didn't want.

it's been around for a long time. No it's coming along its its in design and they're trying to get it to replace. Aging obsolescence technology right it is the second engine thing for years on enough now.

got -- military always -- god. Clark come from desperate sort.

Parts is -- we say hi how are different see evidence about building. Carol all engines which may or may or may not be a good idea. We have a caller who said earlier that when they do the parallel construction projects it. It ends up being a waste because they tried out design each other so. That could cut both ways what I'm all for -- if the Pentagon says they need it if the Pentagon says they don't need than John Kerry should be gone back and M and conversation with -- beginning to the bottom of may be times right.

What BH always he hasn't what makes you think he hasn't had that conversation and Pentagon's against -- and he called the White House to get this thing through the Pentagon stuck to its position and and and -- and Kerry is ours as well just doesn't make jobs now allows the use -- of course it tells us -- we already know about his fallibility. That's been well confirmed Anthony Middleton high.

You have -- ditty I'd miss you what's going on. What should extension -- paid to act straight eat eat pop investor and sociology. You would support all and I can't pick them. Yeah -- yeah yeah. Dutch witnessed -- robotic built a smoke screen would carry it just that I am a bit typically -- I missed.

I miss the -- west in its Jeff Immelt I apologize what's the link between Kerry and --

Remember what talk about it they are up Bob knows you. He'd he'd look at -- back to ignore illegal back. And they have this I'm -- area. Bring the crowd big jobs I think it he'd already -- expect Jack that we still. How can oriental outlook -- but it been -- that this president beta I'll be. Option that's on it everything we can I get -- that no quick way it's like it's it's some sort of corruption. And it's right across the boy I can't believe that OPEC sports tortured -- I'm like don't.

May be. It's it's possible it carries got to deal or he gets one of these F 35 with the UN and a half I want to stimulate he gives a little more torque. And 06 -- a little faster a little less carbon footprint the F 335. Is plans for backup engine designed by GE were initiated more than a decade ago by congress with the hopes that the military would hold competitions. Between the two versions when IBM pretty.
