Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stopped by Hannity Thursday night to discuss the current state of America’s air traffic control systems and how improvements were largely ignored under former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Now, the Duffy and Trump 2.0 plan is making plans for new telecom and fiber-optic cables; new radios; new radar and ground sensors; new flight management systems and more.
“What did Pete Buttigieg tell you about this job?” Hannity asked Duffy.
Duffy’s answer was shocking.
“The prior secretary indicated ot me that this was a department that ran itself,” Duffy said, revealing that most of the office didn’t even come into work under Buttigieg.
“This is more than a full-time job. You have to work 12 – 16 hours a day to do this job. And if you don’t come, things don’t happen. And for Pete Buttigieg, when you don’t show up and get multiple warnings from watchdog groups that say, ‘Hey listen, the air traffic control system is failing, you have to take action,’ they did absolutely nothing.”
“The Biden Administration spent $1.2 trillion on infrastructure in America — none of it went towards fixing the air traffic control system … so now we’ve been left with a problem,” Duffy said. “But in the Trump Administration, we don’t pass problems off to the next administration — we fix them and make them better.”
“We are going to rebuild every aspect of the air traffic control system.”
