So every Democrat who votes no is saying, we will not pay the air traffic controllers. What does that mean? There are roughly 45,000 commercial flights a day in the United States.

I'm a lawyer, not a mathematician, so I'm going to make the math simple. 100 passengers, 5,000 flights a day. (11:59–12:10)
