00:00Mr. President, welcome.

00:05Thank you very much.

00:16Last week, long before the crash, I signed an executive order restoring our highest standards

00:22for air traffic controllers and other important jobs throughout the country.

00:25So it was very interesting.

00:27About a week ago, almost upon entering office, I signed something last week that was an executive

00:38order very powerful on restoring the highest standards of air traffic controllers and others,

00:43by the way.

00:45And my administration will set the highest possible bar for aviation safety.

00:49We have to have our smartest people.

00:51It doesn't matter what they look like, how they speak, who they are.

00:55What matters is intellect, talent.

00:57The word talent.

00:58They have to be talented, naturally talented geniuses.

01:02You can't have regular people doing that job.

01:05They won't be able to do it.

01:08But we'll restore faith in American air travel.

01:10I'll have more to say about that.

01:12I do want to point out that various articles that appeared prior to my entering office

01:20and here's one.

01:22The FAA's diversity push includes focus on hiring people with severe intellectual and

01:28psychiatric disabilities.

01:32That is amazing.

01:34And then it says FAA says people with severe disabilities are most underrepresented segment

01:40of the workforce and they want them in and they want them.

01:43They can be air traffic controllers.

01:45I don't think so.

01:47This was in January 14th.

01:50So that was a week before I entered office.

01:53They put a big push to put diversity into the FAA's program.

02:05I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity

02:10had something to do with this crash.

02:12Because I have common sense, okay?

02:15Unfortunately, a lot of people don't.

02:18We want brilliant people doing this.

02:20This is a major chess game at the highest level.

02:30We do not know what led to this crash, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas

02:36and I think we'll probably state those opinions now.

02:39Because over the years I've watched as things like this happen and they say, well, we're

02:43always investigating and then the investigation three years later they announce it.

02:47We think we have some pretty good ideas.

02:51But we'll find out how this disaster occurred and we'll ensure that nothing like this ever

02:56happens again.

02:57The FAA and the NTSB and the U.S. military will be carrying out a systematic and comprehensive

03:04investigation.

03:05Our new Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, his second day on the job when that

03:13happened, it's a rough one.

03:17We'll be working tirelessly.

03:18He's a great gentleman.

03:19The whole group, these are great people.

03:22And they are working tirelessly to figure out exactly what happened.

03:27We will state certain opinions, however.

03:29I'm also immediately appointing an acting commissioner to the FAA, Christopher Rochelot,

03:36a 22-year veteran of the agency, highly respected.

03:41Christopher, thank you very much.

03:43Appreciate it.

03:44We must have only the highest standards for those who work in our aviation system.

03:48I changed the Obama standards from very mediocre at best to extraordinary.

03:55You remember that.

03:57Only the highest aptitude, they have to be the highest intellect, and psychologically

04:04superior people were allowed to qualify for air traffic controllers.

04:10That was not so prior to getting there.

04:14When I arrived in 2016, I made that change very early on because I always felt this was

04:19a job that, and other jobs too, but this was a job that had to be superior intelligence.

04:25And we didn't really have that, and we had it.

04:30And then when I left office, and Biden took over, he changed them back to lower than ever

04:38before.

04:39I put safety first, Obama, Biden, and the Democrats put policy first.

04:44And they put politics at a level that nobody's ever seen, because this was the lowest level.

04:53Their policy was horrible, and their politics was even worse.

05:00The FAA, which is overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg, a real winner, that guy's a real

05:13winner.

05:14Do you know how badly everything's run since he's run this Department of Transportation?

05:18He's a disaster.

05:20He was a disaster as a mayor.

05:22He ran his city into the ground, and he's a disaster now.

05:26He's just got a good line of bullshit.

05:29The Department of Transportation, his government agency charged with regulating civil aviation.

05:35Well, he runs it, 45,000 people, and he's run it right into the ground with his diversity.

05:42So I had to say that it's terrible.

05:46Then it's a group within the FAA, another story, determined that the workforce was too

05:52white, that they had concerted efforts to get the administration to change that and

06:00to change it immediately.

06:02This was in the Obama administration just prior to my getting there.

06:07And we took care of African Americans, Hispanic Americans.

06:11We took care of everybody at levels that nobody's ever seen before.

06:14It's one of the reasons I won.

06:17But they actually came out with a directive, too white.

06:20And we want the people that are competent.
