CHRIS SUNUNU: Nobody is pining for the days of Pete Buttigieg. I don't care what political party you're from. If you're in the world of airlines and transportation, nobody wants that Administration back. It was nothing but punitive, massive regulations. Take 10% of airlines out of the sky . . .

The War on Transportation is/was very very real. You don't want 15 minute archologies? TOUGH Titties, we'll make air travel disgusting.

You like your cars? Tough SHIT! Pay triple the price for a car that despises you and is designed to fall apart in 80,000 miles.

That all… https://t.co/VDDn8om67p

It is amazing that after searching 3 search engines--DuckDuckGo, Google, and Yandex--that it was only Grok who could identify the speaker, give the specific date, and other details.  So a "search engine" no longer exists; just use Grok.

On October 17, 2025—the first day of a new U.S. government shutdown triggered by partisan gridlock over spending cuts and policy riders—CNBC's Squawk Box featured a timely discussion on how the impasse is disrupting air travel. The guest was Chris Sununu, former New Hampshire governor and current CEO of Airlines for America (A4A), the industry's leading trade group representing major U.S. carriers like Delta, United, and American Airlines. Sununu's appearance highlighted proactive measures airlines are taking to mitigate chaos, but he didn't hold back on broader frustrations with federal dysfunction, including pointed critiques of the outgoing Biden-Harris administration led by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
