A LBC radio presenter has branded a journalist a 'Numbskull' for supporting the claim of Donald Trump that diversity supporters were the fault of the crash of Washington plane.
Iain Dale struck to the American author Kurt Schlicher to support the suggestion of the American president after the deadly crash on Wednesday – before kicking him off the show.
Mr. Trump had said yesterday in a press conference on the horror incident that diversity efforts at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had led to sliding standards – although he acknowledged that the cause of the crash was unknown.
After an American Airlines -plane with 64 people on board collided with an army helicopter, the president blamed air traffic controllers, helicopter pilots and democratic policy at federal agencies, without giving his claims.
Mr. Trump claimed reporters in the White House that the FAA was 'actively recruiting employees who hire serious intellectual disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical disorders under an initiative for diversity and inclusion'.
Then presenter Dale spoke at LBC last night with Schliterer, a senior columnist at Townhall.com and author of the book 'Well Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America'.
He started asking Schedlerer about Mr Trump's comments and said: “At first glance, some extraordinary comments from President Trump. What do you take from this? '
Schliterer replied: 'I love it, I am unconditionally happy that we finally have someone who calls it as he sees it. The idea that diversity is not behind this?
'You know, I can jump in my car that I had to swallow to remove the ashes, a few miles away to the north of Los Angeles, which is usually burned by the gross incompetence of the diversity recovery that mine Beautiful state running from California. We are going to dig in this – I am, you know, as someone led … '
Dale then intervened and pointed out that “many of those firefighters you have just helped will be from different backgrounds.”
But Schlerker was unmoved and replied: 'Yes, their leaders are with different backgrounds and they were roughly incompetent.
'If you choose people because you check blocks whether color or sex is or because of God's, serious psychological disability, you will get losers. Diversity, dei, all that waste that we have unambiguously voted to get rid of and throw in the garbage can, is a disaster.
'It is an excuse to throw away merit and hire, you know it is essentially patronage and we are done with it. We're not going to do it anymore. He is absolutely right to say that. '
Dale then asked him what evidence existed that the pilot of the helicopter or the plane came from a diverse background in the control tower.

When Schlerder admitted: “There is no at the moment,” Dale replied: “Exactly, so why, how can you sit there and support these shameful comments?”
But Schlerker said: 'First of all, they are not shameful, we finally get someone who breaks the silence of the location and tells the truth. Our settings are broken, every institution. '
Dale then said: 'It is all due to minorities, right? Is it all due to minorities? Is that really what we will have in the next four years – blaming any failure in America of minorities with different backgrounds and people with disabilities? '
Schliterer replied: “Well, look, I love competent people with different backgrounds …”
But Dale said: “Well, you make a very good impression that you don't like them.”
Schlighter then continued and added: 'If you send me, oh I don't know any other Margaret Thatcher, I will be happy.

'But the fact is that the democratic administrations in places such as California and the past four years have hired people, not because they are the best, but because their grandfather came from the right continent and that we are ready, we are ready.
“You can't harm us, you can't be ashamed that we are going to tell the truth, we have to be the best.”
Dale said that even as a Schlerker 'that absolute Tosh' believed, he thought it was suitable for Mr Trump 'to enjoy this unparalleled speculation, while he should certainly do what he should do, the flight researchers encourage the truth ? '
But Schlerker said: 'First of all the need that the flight researchers must be encouraged to get the truth … Look, I have investigated many things in the army, many things as a lawyer, I didn't need the permission of someone to the truth To find, and I certainly obtained information and dragged from people who are reluctant to share it.
'As far as the timing is concerned, I would like to see the memo when the timing is right. The only thing I know is that every time a psychotic left -wing murderer goes on a shooting, within 40 seconds I am told that I have to disarm myself, because I can defend myself against criminals and tyrants, along with tens of millions of other Americans, is the cause of another crime.

“So I have to know what the rule is. In the meantime I will go with this – Tell the truth … '
But a furious Dale spoke with a producer in the air and asked them to end the call and say: 'Okay, okay, Chris, you can remove this Numbskull from our program. I never want to talk to him again.
“He is the kind of person that looks ridiculous on the world stage.”
The collision in the air between an army helicopter and the plane killed all 67 people on board the two planes.
