00:00Could you guarantee to Americans that travel is going to go back to normal once the government...
00:05That travel is?
00:05That travel, all the air travel...
00:06Because they're better than normal. You know why?
00:08When the government reopens...
00:09Yeah, sure. It'll be much better than normal because we're buying the most sophisticated avionics and, you know, technology for our control towers.
00:19And we didn't have that. We had a guy named Buttigieg.
00:22Buttigieg is the best way.
00:24I just say two edges, like off the edge of a cliff, which is where they were taking us, by the way.
00:31Buttigieg was the Secretary of Transportation, and he spent billions of dollars trying to patch together our air control, our air traffic control system,
00:42which was a conglomeration of all different systems in all different cities.
00:46They had hundreds of companies working on it, and they were spending billions of dollars.
00:52And when they turned it on, it didn't work. It didn't even work a little bit.
00:55That's why you had a helicopter crashing into an airplane, that if we had a great system, bells and whistles would have started going off.
01:03So we are now in the process. We're in final bids of getting the finest system anywhere in the world.
01:09I've analyzed it. Sean Duffy has been working really hard on it, doing a fantastic job, by the way.
01:14And over the next two or three weeks, we'll be handing out the finest air traffic control system anywhere in the world.
01:21All the towers will be equipped.
01:24They were going copper wire into glass wire, into other types of wire.
01:28And if you do anything, you know copper wire doesn't work with glass.
01:32You know glass doesn't work with other substances.
01:35And they spent billions of dollars, and when they turned it on, nothing happened, okay?
01:40We're getting the most sophisticated, all brand new, all brand new.
01:45Every control tower will have the same exact system.
01:47It'll be the most sophisticated system by far in the world.
01:50And what we've done is we've looked around other countries,
01:53and we've taken the absolute best systems in every different form, because there are different.
01:58And you have lots of different companies like IBM and Raytheon and a lot of great companies.
02:04They're all bidding, and we're going to pick the best one, and it'll get built relatively quickly,
02:11and we are going to have the greatest air traffic control system anywhere in the world.
