"But here's another quote from the NTSB. 25 seconds, truck one requested to cross runway four at taxiway Delta. At 20 seconds, the tower cleared truck one and company to cross runway four at taxiway Delta."

The claim references a specific NTSB report with precise timing details (25 seconds and 20 seconds), but none of the provided sources contain the NTSB's official report or confirm those exact timestamps. While sources mention a truck was cleared to cross a runway and a 'stop stop stop' command was issued, they do not verify the specific 25-second and 20-second timeline. Without access to the actual NTSB report or official transcripts, the precise timing claim cannot be verified from the given materials. · high confidence

"The really sad part is now they have identified the two pilots. The one was just 30 years old, Antoine Forrest. He was from Quebec and he was actually the captain. He was at the controls of the flight. And then the co-pilot was Mackenzie Gunther of Toronto"

The provided search results do not contain any information about pilots named Antoine Forrest or Mackenzie Gunther. The results discuss unrelated topics including a forum post about a different pilot, job listings, an industrial project in Quebec, a fact-check about a different Toronto crash, and a Vietnamese pilot profile. There is no evidence in these sources to confirm or deny the identities of the pilots mentioned in the claim. · high confidence

"also a very young man, apparently had graduated, you know, a pilot school. Just shortly before this flight, he had maybe a few years under his belt."

The claim states Gunther 'graduated from pilot school shortly before the flight and had maybe a few years of experience.' Sources confirm Gunther graduated from Seneca Polytechnic's aviation program in 2023, which was about three years before the 2026 crash, so 'shortly before' is inaccurate. However, the 'maybe a few years of experience' part is plausible given the graduation date, but no source specifies his exact professional experience timeline. · high confidence

"The Better Business Bureau's Houston area office gives 33 locations an F rating."

Multiple credible news sources confirm that the Better Business Bureau's Houston office gave 33 Buc-ee's locations an 'F' rating. The rating was based on 88 outstanding customer complaints and the company's failure to respond to them. The claim accurately reflects what has been reported by established news organizations. · high confidence

"The grades are based on several factors. In this case, the low scores were based on customers having a difficult time contacting the company. There are no phone numbers listed on the company's website."

The claim is directly supported by multiple sources. The Better Business Bureau gave Buc-ee's an 'F' rating due to 88 unresolved customer complaints and the company's failure to respond to them. Sources specifically note that difficulty contacting the company was a complaint category and that Buc-ee's website does not list phone numbers for customer service. · high confidence

"Where traveling appears to have improved today at the jungles that are airports across the country, especially the busy ones like Atlanta Hartsfield or New York's LaGuardia or JFK."

The claim that travel has improved at airports is directly contradicted by multiple sources. CNN reports increased TSA wait times due to a partial government shutdown, Yahoo notes Atlanta airport is imploring travelers to arrive four hours early due to congestion, and MSN reports record spring break travel causing high passenger volumes. None of the sources indicate any improvement in airport conditions. · high confidence

"It's gone from lines snaking around the luggage areas as far as where you get your luggage is concerned, the carousels and out the door and into the parking lot to looking like a normal airport."

Multiple recent sources from March 2026 directly contradict the claim that lines at Atlanta's airport have returned to normal. Reports describe long lines, hours-long waits, and security lines snaking through baggage claim areas and spilling outside, specifically due to TSA staffing shortages during a partial government shutdown. The claim's assertion of normal conditions is directly opposed by current reporting. · high confidence

"ICE officers also giving out water to people that are waiting on lines and other airports."

The White House posted a video showing ICE officers handing out water to travelers at airports, and multiple news sources confirm ICE agents have been deployed to airports to assist with long wait times during a government shutdown. The claim is directly supported by video evidence and reporting. · high confidence

"Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader in the House... literally said yesterday on CNN that ICE agents were going to be a menace in airports and could possibly start killing people."

The provided search result does not contain any direct quote or transcript from Hakeem Jeffries on CNN. It only shows a Sky News Australia video discussing ICE agents being deployed to airports, but does not verify Jeffries' specific statement about agents being a 'menace' or 'possibly start killing people.' Without access to the actual CNN interview or a reliable transcript, the claim cannot be verified using the given source. · medium confidence

"And so far, more than 400 TSA workers have quit since the start of this partial shutdown, according to DHS."

Multiple credible news sources report that more than 400 TSA employees have quit since the partial government shutdown began, with The Hill and Yahoo News specifically attributing this information to the Department of Homeland Security. The sources consistently confirm the number and timing mentioned in the claim. · high confidence

"CNN, the craptastic news network. You know, just yesterday they were reporting that President Trump was lying about holding talks with Iran... Well, they have a new report today... We're now learning from a senior Iranian source that there has been an outreach between the US and Iran. The source tells CNN that this was initiated by Washington"

The claim contains a kernel of truth but omits crucial context. CNN did report on March 4, 2026, that Iranian intelligence sent word to the US about potential talks, with US officials stating there were no active negotiations. However, on March 23, 2026, Iran denied any dialogue with Washington, and CNN reported that US officials insisted they had not been in talks with Iran since nuclear negotiations. The claim incorrectly suggests a recent reversal in CNN's reporting when the timeline shows consistent reporting of no active negotiations despite Iranian outreach. · high confidence

"President Trump is expressing optimism that the Iran War will end soon."

Multiple credible news sources report that President Trump expressed optimism about ending the war with Iran. WXII 12 states he 'is striking an optimistic tone' and claimed the conflict 'could end this week,' while The Hill and BBC coverage confirm he voiced optimism about negotiations and ending the war. These reports directly support the claim without significant contradictory information. · high confidence

"Trump said Iran gave a significant gift to the U.S. during these talks."

The claim that Iran gave a significant gift to the U.S. during talks comes directly from President Trump's own statements, as reported by multiple news outlets. However, none of the provided sources contain independent verification of such a gift existing, nor do they specify what the gift actually was beyond Trump's vague description. Without corroborating evidence from Iranian officials or other parties, the claim remains unverified. · medium confidence

"the present arrived today."

The claim 'The present arrived today' is a specific statement about an event, but the provided search results only discuss grammatical usage and hypothetical examples of similar phrasing. None of the sources report on any actual present arriving today or verify this specific occurrence. Without evidence confirming or contradicting the event itself, the claim cannot be verified. · high confidence

"It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money."

The claim is a direct quote from former President Donald Trump, as reported by multiple news sources. However, none of the provided sources contain independent verification of what the 'present' actually was, its monetary value, or whether it truly existed. The sources only report Trump's statement without providing factual confirmation from other sources. · high confidence

"Trump said it was related to oil and gas,"

Multiple credible news sources directly report that President Trump stated Iran gave the U.S. a "very big present" or "significant prize" related to oil and gas. The claim is a direct quotation of Trump's own words as reported by AFP, Fox News, and other outlets. No contradictory information is presented in the provided sources. · high confidence

"but he wouldn't reveal what it was."

The claim 'He wouldn't reveal what it was' lacks specific context about who 'he' is and what 'it' refers to. The provided search results contain unrelated fragments about various people not revealing plans or showing things, but none provide sufficient information to verify this specific, decontextualized claim. Without knowing the subject and topic, the claim cannot be meaningfully evaluated. · high confidence

"He added that Iran has agreed not to pursue a nuclear weapon"

The claim originates from statements by former President Donald Trump, but the provided sources do not contain independent verification from Iranian officials or official documentation of such an agreement. All sources reference Trump's assertion without confirming whether Iran has actually made this commitment. Without corroborating evidence from Iranian sources or official agreements, the claim cannot be verified. · medium confidence

"and that the U.S. is dealing with the right people in the Islamic Republic."

The claim is a statement about current U.S. diplomatic engagement, but the provided sources only report a past statement by former President Trump from 2020. No sources confirm whether the current U.S. administration is 'dealing with the right people' in Iran today. The State Department source describes Iran as a 'dangerous regime' but does not address current diplomatic contacts. · medium confidence

"tonight looks partly to mostly cloudy, below 38."

The claim that 'Tonight looks partly to mostly cloudy, below 38' contains a kernel of truth but omits important context. While some sources indicate partly cloudy conditions and temperatures below 38°F in certain locations (e.g., source [3] mentions lows in the upper 20s to mid-30s), other sources contradict this by reporting higher temperatures (e.g., source [4] shows a low around 51°F) or different weather conditions like showers and thunderstorms (sources [1] and [2]). The claim is not universally accurate across the provided forecasts. · medium confidence

"Tomorrow, mostly sunny skies, the high 53."

The claim specifies 'tomorrow' but does not include a date or location, making it impossible to match with the provided sources. The search results contain various weather forecasts for different days and locations, including one with 'high of 53' but for a 'Sunny Saturday' without a date. Without knowing which 'tomorrow' the claim refers to, the evidence is insufficient to verify. · low confidence

"And Thursday, partly sunny and warmer, the high 68."

The claim that Thursday will be partly sunny and warmer with a high of 68 is directly supported by multiple sources. Source [1] explicitly states 'Sunny Thursday; high of 68,' while source [2] confirms 'Partly sunny and slightly warmer' for Thursday. Source [4] also mentions 'High of 68 and partly sunny' for Thursday, providing consistent corroboration across multiple weather forecasts. · high confidence

"From March 20th through April 18th, receive up to a $500 Visa gift card with select mausoleum and cremation niche purchases."

The claim mentions a specific promotion tied to mausoleum and cremation niche purchases from March 20th through April 18th, but none of the provided search results reference funeral services, mausoleums, cremation niches, or that specific date range. All results discuss unrelated $500 Visa gift card promotions for apartment rentals, contests, or payroll-related situations. Without any source addressing the funeral industry context or the stated promotion details, the claim cannot be verified. · high confidence

"Zero interest payment plans available."

Multiple credible sources confirm that zero interest payment plans are available through various providers. TD Retail Card Services offers 0% APR financing plans with equal monthly payments, while companies like Affirm, Afterpay, and Klarna provide interest-free installment options. These plans are widely available for retail purchases, though some may have fees or specific terms. · high confidence

"The 200 year old company behind the Merriam Webster dictionaries is suing Open AI."

Multiple credible news sources confirm that Merriam-Webster, along with its parent company Encyclopedia Britannica, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI. The lawsuit alleges OpenAI used approximately 100,000 copyrighted articles and dictionary entries to train ChatGPT without permission. The claim accurately reflects the legal action reported by these sources. · high confidence

"Encyclopedia Britannica says the artificial intelligence firm is infringing on its copyrighted material by using the dictionary's online articles to train its technology."

Multiple credible news sources confirm that Encyclopaedia Britannica has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging the company used Britannica's copyrighted online articles and dictionary entries to train its AI systems like ChatGPT without permission. The lawsuit specifically claims OpenAI copied nearly 100,000 articles and that AI-generated responses sometimes reproduce Britannica content verbatim. This directly matches the radio host's claim about Britannica alleging copyright infringement through use of its material for AI training. · high confidence

"Britannica says this has cannibalized its web traffic and led to lost revenue."

Multiple sources confirm that Britannica has sued OpenAI, alleging that AI-generated summaries of its content have cannibalized its web traffic and led to lost revenue. The Reuters article and other reports directly state that Britannica's complaint includes these specific claims. The sources consistently report Britannica's position without contradicting it. · high confidence

"After a nearly two week long trial in Santa Monica, California, jurors have found Bill Cosby, age 88, liable for the sexual battery and assault of Donna Motsinger."

Multiple credible news sources confirm that after a nearly two-week trial in Santa Monica, California, jurors found Bill Cosby liable for the sexual battery and assault of Donna Motsinger. The sources consistently report the trial location, duration, defendant, and outcome. While some sources report different damage award amounts, the core factual claim about the jury's liability finding is uniformly supported. · high confidence

"They awarded her 17.5 million dollars in past damages and 1.75 million for future damages, including mental suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, inconvenience, grief, anxiety, humiliation, and emotional distress."

The claim accurately states the $1.75 million award for future damages, but incorrectly states a $17.5 million award for past damages. The search results only mention a $1.75 million total award to Akira Montague in the case against TikTok influencer Brenay Kennard. No source supports a separate $17.5 million past damages award in this specific case. · high confidence

"Then in a second phase of the trial, Monday afternoon, they awarded an additional 40 million dollars in punitive damages."

The claim is directly supported by the AP News article, which states that in a second phase of the trial Monday afternoon, they awarded an additional $40 million in punitive damages. The Facebook post also contains the exact same wording, though it is a less authoritative source. The other search results discuss different cases and are not relevant to this specific claim. · high confidence

"Cosby's attorney says they fully intend to appeal the verdict."

The claim is directly supported by source [1], which quotes Cosby's attorney Jennifer Bonjean stating 'they are disappointed and fully intend to appeal the verdict' after a jury found Cosby sexually assaulted a woman. This matches the wording in the claim exactly. The other sources discuss different legal proceedings but do not contradict this specific statement. · high confidence

"President Trump faced with what appears to be a government shutdown that Democrats have openly embraced since it began almost two weeks ago, decided to send ICE agents into major airports across the country to alleviate insanely long lines and chaos as American travelers suffer."

The claim contains a kernel of truth—President Trump did announce plans to send ICE agents to airports during a DHS funding impasse. However, the characterization that Democrats 'openly embraced' the shutdown and that ICE agents were sent specifically 'to alleviate insanely long lines' is not supported by the provided sources. The sources frame this as a threat or political maneuver tied to budget negotiations, not as a humanitarian response to traveler suffering. · high confidence

"ICE is an option to be deployed during this crisis because they're currently being paid from the federal government and will continue to under existing federal legislation passed last year via Trump's big beautiful bill and they're going to get paid through 2029."

The claim contains a kernel of truth about ICE receiving federal funding, but misrepresents key details. Sources indicate ICE receives funding through annual appropriations and specific legislation, not a single 'big beautiful bill' passed last year that guarantees funding through 2029. The search results reference multiple funding bills (2025 law, FY2026 DHS funding) but no source confirms funding is secured through 2029 via legislation passed last year. · medium confidence

"And by insanely long lines, we're talking four, five, six hours at airports like Atlanta's Hartsfield or even LaGuardia here in New York."

The claim about 4-6 hour TSA lines at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is directly supported by multiple sources reporting 5-hour lines and recommendations to arrive 4-5 hours early. For LaGuardia Airport in New York, The New York Times confirms lines of at least three hours, which aligns with the claim's characterization of 'insanely long lines' though slightly below the 4-6 hour range mentioned. Both airports are experiencing severe delays due to TSA staffing shortages. · high confidence

"A majority of domestic flights are less than three hours on average."

The claim cannot be verified with the provided sources. While one source mentions that short-haul flights under 500 miles often last 1-1.5 hours and medium-haul flights 2-3 hours, it does not provide data on what proportion of all domestic flights fall into these categories. The other sources discuss flight time padding, on-time statistics, and airline scheduling, but none offer comprehensive data about the distribution of flight durations across all domestic routes. · low confidence

"Deploy ICE to airports"

Multiple credible sources confirm that President Trump announced a plan to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports. The BBC reports he threatened to send ICE into airports amid a funding dispute, while CNN and YouTube sources indicate ICE agents were being deployed to assist TSA during a government shutdown. The claim is directly supported by these reports. · high confidence

"It is working."

The claim 'It is working' is a generic statement without specific context about what 'it' refers to. The provided search results discuss grammatical usage, song titles, and phrase definitions, but do not contain factual information about any specific system, policy, or object that could be verified as 'working.' Without knowing what the claim refers to, it cannot be fact-checked against evidence. · high confidence

"We are seeing shorter lines already."

The claim 'We are seeing shorter lines already' contains a kernel of truth but omits crucial context. While some airports like Fort Lauderdale, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Baltimore reported shorter lines at certain times, other airports like Austin and Columbus experienced long lines during the same period. The situation varied significantly by location and time of day, making the broad claim misleading without specifying these conditions. · medium confidence

"We see travelers going up to ICE agents, going up to federal officers and saying thank you for being here."

The claim that travelers are thanking ICE agents at airports is not reported in any of the provided sources. The search results describe the deployment of ICE agents to airports during a government shutdown and discuss reactions to that deployment, but none mention specific interactions where travelers expressed gratitude. Without direct evidence from credible sources, the claim cannot be verified. · low confidence

"not one church, not one hospital, not one school, except for one school where literally the illegal that ICE was chasing ran into a school"

The claim that ICE has not entered churches, hospitals, or schools except for one incident is contradicted by multiple sources. According to news reports, the Trump administration authorized ICE to conduct enforcement actions in schools, churches, and hospitals by rescinding previous protective policies. These sources indicate that ICE now has the authority to enter such locations, which directly contradicts the claim that such entries have not occurred. · high confidence

"Chris Murphy of Connecticut, who wants to be House Speaker, or I'm sorry, he's a senator, so he wants actually to be the majority leader in the Senate."

The claim contains a kernel of truth but omits important context. Chris Murphy is indeed a U.S. Senator from Connecticut, which is confirmed by multiple sources. However, while one source reports he will 'join Senate leadership' in the next Congress, none of the provided sources state he specifically 'wants to be the majority leader'—a much more specific and higher-ranking position than general leadership roles. · medium confidence

"The people we care about most are those who are undocumented, a.k.a. illegal."

Multiple news sources report that Senator Chris Murphy said undocumented immigrants are 'the people we care about most' in a resurfaced clip. The sources indicate this statement is fueling conservative outrage, confirming the claim was made. The reporting is consistent across several outlets, though the original context of the statement is not fully detailed in these search results. · high confidence

"The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship. It was entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funding, right? Well, I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years."

The provided search results contain no information about Democratic strategies linking a path to citizenship to Ukraine funding over any timeframe. The results discuss unrelated topics such as Indian politics, social media posts, election results, South African corruption, and Trump administration appointments. There is insufficient evidence in these sources to evaluate the specific claim about immigration-Ukraine funding linkage spanning 20 years. · high confidence

"the way it works in the Golden State is that the top two people in the primary move on. It's not based on party. It's just based on percentage of vote."

The claim is directly supported by official California election information. The Secretary of State's website states that for voter-nominated offices, all candidates appear on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters advance to the general election, regardless of party preference. Multiple sources confirm this is the established system for most California state and federal offices. · high confidence

"my former colleague, Steve Hilton, is now on top of the polls"

Multiple credible news sources report that Steve Hilton is leading in recent polls for the California governor's race. The Emerson poll cited by State Affairs and the POLITICO poll both show Hilton ahead, with SFGate and YouTube coverage confirming this polling result. The claim accurately reflects current polling data without significant caveats. · high confidence

"and Sheriff Chad Blanco, Republican, is number two."

The provided search results do not contain any polling data or information about Sheriff Chad Blanco's position in the California governor's race. The results mention a California sheriff as a Republican candidate for governor but focus on ballot seizure claims rather than polling numbers. Without specific polling information from credible sources, the claim cannot be verified. · low confidence

"Eric Swalwell, he have Fang Fang fame... Katie Porter, who was a profoundly horrible human being... But again, a couple points back of Republican Hilton and Republican Blanco."

The claim contains elements of truth but misrepresents the overall picture. While some polls show Democrats Katie Porter and Eric Swalwell trailing Republican candidates in certain matchups, other polls show Swalwell leading in the primary or show a five-way tie that includes both Democrats and Republicans. The claim's suggestion of a consistent 'tied a couple points behind' pattern oversimplifies the varied polling results. · medium confidence

"And then way back in fifth place is Tom Steyer"

The provided search results do not contain polling data or rankings that would confirm Tom Steyer's position as 'fifth place' in the California governor's race. While sources indicate Steyer is running and mention a 'top tier' of candidates, no specific numerical ranking is provided. The Facebook post references polls but doesn't show Steyer's position relative to other candidates, and the YouTube description is incomplete. Without verifiable polling data showing candidate rankings, the claim cannot be confirmed. · medium confidence

"Tom Steyer, who has more money than all of them combined."

The claim that Tom Steyer has 'more money than all the other candidates combined' cannot be verified from the provided sources. While multiple sources confirm Steyer is vastly outspending his rivals and has raised significantly more money than individual competitors, none provide a comprehensive total of all other candidates' combined finances for comparison. The search results lack the necessary aggregated financial data to evaluate this specific comparative claim. · low confidence

"What grade would you give Governor Gavin Newsom for the last two terms? I don't know. A through F. I don't know. It's a letter... You won't give us a grade. You won't grade him. No, I haven't."

Multiple credible sources confirm that Tom Steyer declined to give Governor Gavin Newsom a grade when asked. The Washington Examiner, KCRA3's Facebook post, and the New York Post all report that Steyer stated he hadn't followed Newsom's governorship closely enough to provide a grade. Social media posts from journalists also corroborate this response. · high confidence
