00:00sitting there and they serve steak and lobster. And you all know, y'all recruits, you know how

00:06hungry young recruits get. And I thought to myself, well, on the one hand, I could be hungry

00:11and maybe save my life. On the other hand, I could roll the die with this lobster.

00:19And the very worst thing that's probably going to happen to me is a corpsman's going to take

00:22care of me. I'll get to sleep in tomorrow. And so what did my dumb ass do? I ate the lobster

00:28and I was fine. And I haven't been allergic to shellfish ever since. So one of the great things

00:34the Marine Corps can do is it can apparently cure a shellfish allergy.

00:41There are so many things I'm proud of about this corps. One of the things I'm proud of

00:45is that the life, that the attitude and the life of service continues from the people who become

00:52generals in our Marine Corps to sergeant majors in our Marine Corps, to the people who get out

00:56and lead in the civilian world. My dear friend, Dave Warrington is here, the White House counsel.

01:02I'm going to embarrass Dave a little bit because though he's one of the most important people

01:06in our White House team, a brilliant lawyer, a very proud Marine, I didn't know until tonight

01:11that young David, his son, is a captain of Marines and he's here with us tonight. So let's give it up

01:16for a family of service. There he is.

01:28Going to embarrass my friend a little bit. And of course, you all know that, you know, when you get

01:32around soldiers and sailors and airmen, we like to poke fun at each other. And I was talking to an

01:40Army Colonel in the White House not too long ago. And I said, Colonel, you know what they call a soldier

01:49with an IQ of 80? And he said, what, sir? And I said, they call him a Colonel. And he chuckled.

01:58And then he said, you know what they call a Marine with an IQ of 60? I said, what's that, Colonel?

02:03He said, the Vice President of the United States. And guess what, Colonel? I've got the last laugh

02:14because your ass is going to Siberia on diplomatic duty. So I hope you had your fun in the West Wing.

02:20But unfortunately, I get the final say. That's one of the good things about this job. But let me just say,

02:26first of all, from our Department of War Secretary, Pete Hegseth, a great soldier,

02:32but a person I know who loves the Marines deeply. And of course, from the President of the United

02:36States. They are proud. They are proud of you. They know that the United States Marine Corps is

02:43the greatest weapon the political leadership of this country has. And when you hear this phrase,

02:49peace through strength, we are fighting for peace every single day in the White House, every single

02:55day in the Oval Office. We achieve peace because you, the Marine Corps, are our strength. And we won't

03:02forget it. And we never have. Thank you, Marines.

03:13And I know we're going to do a little toast with a comment on here, but I just want to say something

03:17else. Because there are two things that your political leadership cares a great deal about.

03:21I have to put on my Vice President hat and tell you about it. Because one of the mistakes that I

03:27think we made over the past 40 years, over my entire life, and let's be honest, it was Democrats

03:32and Republicans, this is not even a partisan point, is that we were too willing to send our Marines and

03:38our soldiers and everybody else off to war without giving you clear guidance about what you needed to

03:43do and clear guidelines for when you would come home. And that is one thing the President of the United

03:49States and everybody in the White House. We promise we will never do. When we send you off to fight our

03:56nation's battles, we will do it with full confidence. We will give you the knowledge and the tools you

04:02need to win. And we will make it clear that your job is to kick the enemy's ass and come back home

04:08safely. That is our sacred promise from the President of the United States on down. That's what we owe every single

04:14one of you is a clear mission and a clear promise that when you do that mission, you're going to come

04:19home safely. That's the first point that I want to make. And I want to make a second point. Because we

04:24live in an era of technology. You saw it in that incredible video. I forget who even said it, but he

04:29said, you know, in World War II, we had planes, we had boats, we had tanks, and we had Marines. And here we are

04:35in 2025, 80 years later, and we still got tanks, we got boats, we got airplanes, and we got United States

04:44Marines. But let's be honest, we all know the battlefield has changed in an incredible and

04:49profound way. We've got technology that would have been inconceivable, even when I was a little kid,

04:57is now driving the face of the modern battlefield. We got cybersecurity, we got satellites in space,

05:02we got artificial intelligence, we've got all this incredible technology. And of course, the United

05:07States is the most significant leader of technology in the world. But I happen to believe that the most

05:14important warfighting technology is not a new airplane. The most important warfighting

05:18technology is not artificial intelligence or anything on a computer. The most important warfighting

05:25technology is a well-trained and well-armed United States Marine, and we won't forget it.

05:31So let me say, Marines, at the age of 250, not a single one of you looks older than 249. You look

05:48pretty good out there. This is a good-looking crowd. But I just want to say that everything the Marine

05:53Corps has done for me, the Marine Corps gave me great training, it gave me a sense of purpose,

05:59it gave me lifelong friends that across the political spectrum, just in the table of people

06:04that were dear friends of mine during the United States, my own Marine Corps service.

06:08We've got radical leftists and radical right-wingers, and we're all dear friends because we all bleed

06:14the same Marine Corps green. The Marine Corps has done a lot for me. The Marine Corps has done more

06:20for me than I can possibly repay. But the thing that I promise, so long as I have the honor of being

06:27your vice president, is that I will continue to honor the United States Marine Corps. I will

06:33continue to remember that you are the most profound warfighting technology that exists on the planet

06:39Earth. And I will fight every single day on this 250th birthday of the United States Marines to make

06:46sure that the next 250 years is just as damn proud as the first 250. Happy birthday, Marines. It's an honor

06:53to be with you.

07:00All right, that was Vice President J.D. Vance as he was speaking at the 250th there celebration of the

07:11Marine Corps. Wanted to bring you those comments in case you missed them late last night. As we head

07:16to break, I do want to pop this up on your screen. This is a live look, courtesy EarthCam. It has nothing

07:21to do with anything we're discussing, but pretty cool camera. That is over in Gaylord, Michigan,

07:26and you can see a lot of birds and what looks like snowfall. Again, that is over via EarthCam

07:33coming in from Gaylord, Michigan. We're going to head to a quick two-minute break, but we will be

07:38right back with more live coverage on the other side. Stay with us.

07:42Again, that is a topic that could come up later on today, as we know that President Trump will attend

07:52the Commanders game there as they take on the Lions. Now, Week 10 Sunday, Fox 1 here. It's a Sunday

07:59Fox NFL doubleheader. It starts with breakout rookie Jackson Dart and the Giants taking on Caleb Williams

08:06and the Bears. And then it's America's Game of the Week as the 49ers take on the Rams. Check your local

08:12listings there for the games in your area, only on Fox and streaming. As you can see there on Fox 1, you can

08:19sign up today by scanning that QR code on the middle left-hand side of your screen. We have a lot of QR codes for you

08:26today on Live Now from Fox. For now, let's head to a quick two-minute commercial break, the final one

08:32of the hour. On the other side, much more live coverage coming up in just a few. We'll be right

08:37back on Live Now from Fox.

08:43One flight's one flight, and if it holds 50 people or holds 500 people, it's still one flight.

08:48When you talk about which actual flights are reduced here, is there kind of an airport or a type of

08:56flight that is more maybe at risk of being cut in those reductions?

09:01Yeah, well, the FAA put out a command basically to the airlines to tell them to reduce the flights,

09:06and they told them to reduce flights at specific airports. Now, all airports are kind of interconnected,

09:11so the 5,000 or so commercial airports we have in the country, just those 40 are going to affect

09:16all of the other ones in total. But what I think the airlines, it's important to keep in mind that

09:21they are businesses. So they're going to make the cuts where it makes business sense so they can meet

09:28the capacity target, but then also maximize their revenue, minimize their cost losses, things like that.

09:33So I would expect flights that are kind of profit losers, low-volume flights, low-passenger flights

09:41to probably be cut first. Because again, if they have a flight that's got six people on it and they cut that

09:45flight, that's one of them they can drop and then keep the one that has 50 people on it and make more

09:50money that way. So that's going to be the kind of thing. I think they're going to probably look at

09:54cutting redundant flights where they've got two aircraft that are going to the same place, maybe

09:59an hour apart, trying to figure out how to combine those into a single flight. Because again, it's going

10:02to be from the airline's perspective. I mean, obviously, safety is always going to be the big thing.

10:07It's why we're making these reductions to begin with. But from the airline's perspective, it's going to be

10:10managing costs, managing losses, managing their revenue. And that's going to probably be the big driver

10:16for them. As we go and look at shutdowns past here, have we seen a situation like this where we're

10:23talking 4% flight reductions, 10%, and then potentially, according to Duffy, 20%? Have we ever seen anything

10:31like that? Well, we have seen the extreme end of that. If 9-11, when they canceled everything, it was 100%.

10:38But in the days following that, where they allowed a few more flights, a few more flights,

10:43a few more flights, as that kind of got going. But we actually do flight reductions and flight

10:47kind of quotas, if you will, constantly all year round, especially when there's bad weather.

10:53We see if there's predicted, say, some really bad weather going into Northeast,

10:57the number of flights allowed into the Northeast and into those airports will be reduced. It's just

11:01it's not usually something that's public facing. Usually, it's something that the FAA will say,

11:06hey, we got to reduce capacity because of weather. And then the airlines will handle it. And the

11:10airlines will just deal with the passengers. And everybody just kind of thinks the airlines

11:13just decided to do that. But it's a big coordinated effort between everybody involved in the national

11:18airspace system. Are you unsatisfied with your current prompts and output? I'll let you in on

11:23a little. You'd expect with government systems under strain, because keep in mind that the TSA is also in

11:29that same kind of boat that the air traffic controllers are in, as are all the maintenance people that work in

11:33the airfields. So I'd expect people to see longer lines, I'd expect people to see fewer security checkpoints

11:39open, I'd expect people to see longer, you know, longer, maybe a little more hassle prone kind of things where

11:45they're trying to get their flights resolved with the airlines. A thing I kind of recommend for people, though,

11:50is just kind of keep in mind that, you know, keep in mind your own personal risk tolerance. We already know

11:55that there are going to be flights canceled, there are going to be flights delayed.

12:00So maybe if people

12:01are super, super strict with their

12:03time, say they're traveling over Thanksgiving, and they

12:05absolutely have to be back to work Monday

12:08morning, maybe they ought to fly

12:10back Friday or Saturday and not wait till try to catch

12:12a flight on Sunday.

12:14You know, manage your personal risk. And I think

12:16what we're going to see a lot for the past year experience

12:18is that difference between the people

12:20that manage their risk and it kind of

12:22either planned ahead or allowed for

12:24the additional time and stuff versus the people

12:25that didn't. And that's going to be amplified

12:28over the holiday season because, you know, say

12:30the month of October wasn't too bad because

12:32a lot of October is the usual daily

12:34professionals that travel a lot. You know, I travel

12:36a lot, you know, maybe you travel a lot.

12:38But then coming to holiday season, we get

12:40some of those folks that Thanksgiving

12:42is the only time they get on an airplane the entire

12:44year.
