I just had the craziest experience at the airport.

We are about to board a flight to Atlanta when the pilot from the incoming plane walks out of the jetway. Guy is probably late 50s, salt and pepper hair, military look. The kind of pilot you instantly feel good about seeing on your flight.

Pilot walks over to the counter, gets on the PA system, and starts addressing everyone. “Folks, I’ve been doing this a long time. Flying one of these jets is easy. The hard part is looking at 130 people and telling them their flight is going to be delayed.”

Audible groans throughout the boarding gate. Most people here are flying to Atlanta as a layover before another flight. 130 people just had their day become a complete mess.

The pilot goes on. “I get it, trust me. But here’s the deal: During our landing, we had a small mechanical issue. I’m not your pilot for the next leg, but I don’t feel confident the jet’s safe to fly until we have a mechanical team look it over, and I don’t feel comfortable asking the next pilots to fly you guys until we get confirmation.”

He points at the agents next to him behind the counter: “Now, none of this is the agents’ fault. Please be kind to them. I’m the one who made this decision, not them, so any inconvenience you experience is my fault. Just please know that I don’t do this lightly, and I’m only doing it because I believe it’s in the best interests of everyone’s safety.”

Now this is where the story gets crazy. The pilot puts the microphone down, grabs his suitcase, and all the people in the gate…

Start clapping.

I’m not joking, everyone starts clapping for the guy. 130 people who just had their travel plans ruined give an ovation to the guy who made the decision and delivered the message.

All because he addressed them with decency and transparency, took ownership of the decision, made it clear that it was necessary, and explained why it was in everyone’s best interest.

It’s honestly one of the best examples of strong communication—of strong leadership, for that matter—that I’ve seen in a long time.

@Delta, whoever your Atlanta to Wichita pilot was this morning, he’s one of the good ones. Please tell him the delayed passengers of flight 1637 appreciate what he did.

Greg Gutfeld just delivered the single most succinct and cutting indictment of the leftwing media's complicity in Saturday's WHCD attack:

"This guy did hear voices. They were Ted Lieu's, they were Brandon Johnson's, they were CNN's, they were The View, they were MS NOW."

"I think this is a helpful assassination attempt because it is the first one that shows you can be radicalized by liberal smugness."

"He wasn't a crank. He was not deranged. Don't buy into that narrative ... He was just following orders."

Greg nails it.

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd.

The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering.

The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978.

48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

@KatiePavlich Katie, we do produce cane sugar in the USA. Maybe not enough, but we do produce it.

There is a new sheriff in town... The emphasis on accountability, that the Trump administration is promoting, is starting to show results.

@RepJamesComer - "During the Biden administration, we would uncover all this financial crimes, and the next process is we turn it over to the Department of Justice or... the Cabinet Secretary, and they would just slam the door in our face."

@jimmyfailla Glad to see you are still on. I guess I got the air time mixed up. I also spelled Lara's name wrong.
