You've heard me maybe say this before. We have a crappy system. It's old, right? We're going to rebuild it. It's going to be brand new, but We have the safest, most efficient airspace in the world. Not because of that equipment, because the men and women who sit in those towers, tray cons and centers and keep our system safe, keep it efficient. And those are the very people Democrats have refused to pay. I find it unacceptable. And Democrats should do their job, fund the government, open it up, and let's get back to work. (23:52–24:05)
