00:00So at 3.36 p.m., we experienced instability for our radar and our communications and our centers
00:08and our TRACONs across the country. So if you don't know this, at airports we have towers,
00:14the next rung out is a TRACON, after that we have en route centers. The TRACONs and the centers,
00:19we started to have inconsistency in the data from the radars and our communication with airplanes.
00:26So what happened? I've heard a lot of the rumors like Mark Wayne has. But what we have is an
00:33incredibly old air traffic control system. I think every single one of your networks have covered
00:39the president and myself talking about this for the last two years. The president for the last year
00:45has been asking Congress to fully fund a full build of a brand new air traffic control system.
00:52So we have TDM telecom. So this is analog telecom. Our switches, our routers, actually got overloaded
01:01with data and they went down. And I shouldn't say they went down. They started to give us inconsistency
01:07in the data from those routers. And because of that, we shut the system down. Now, I have already
01:15replaced some of those switches with President Trump. And our new IP switches did not go down.
01:20It's the old hardware that went down. And I think the question for the American people
01:25is, do you want your Congress to fund this? President Trump has asked for the money.
01:32He's asked the Congress on a bipartisan approach to say, give us the resources to build a state-of-the
01:39-art
01:40air traffic control system. Let's not do a patchwork, a fix to a system that's critical for every single
01:47family. It's not red. It's not blue. It's not Democrat. It's not Republican. It's American.
01:52Give us the money to fix it.
