Riffing on the government shutdown causing air traffic controller paycheck issues, Tim proposes recruiting volunteer (including pardoned J6) air traffic controllers and mocks TSA workers for caring about money.
- Tim proposes replacing furloughed air traffic controllers with pardoned January 6 rioters and demonstrates his idea of air traffic control.
- Volunteer air traffic controllers: retired people bored enough to drive Uber could learn the job in an hour.
- Tim role-plays as a LaGuardia tower operator taking a Spirit Airlines landing request, reducing the job to telling pilots not to mess up.
- Maybe pilots need too much help and air traffic control is simpler than people think — just put the plane on the runway and leave.
- TSA and other workers aren't showing up to their jobs because everything is about money to them.
