white house -- the south lawn as he's heading out of here. what he knows about this. he said he is deferring to the secretary of transportation. that is pete buttigieg. he spoken to him today no word yet from white house staff on how or whether this is going to impact their movement potentially even t the presidens movement today. this came across our buyers for their prison is going to be a calming the first lady to walter reed hospital today. she is having what they are calling a minor outpatient surgery. they are going to head out there this morning. "the president has been briefed which i just told you by the secretary of transportation on the faa system outage. there is no evidence of a cyber attack at this point for the president directed transportation to conduct a full investigation into the causes. the faa will provide regular updates." the secretary of transportation himself also tweeted a short while ago. he said he has spoken to the faa

multiple times. he says i have been in touch with this va this morning about an outage affecting a key system for providing safety information to pilots. faa is working to resolve this issue swiftly and safety so that air traffic can resume normal operations and will continue to provide updates." we are learning now from one of our key correspondence as well as others, more about this down system. it is called notice to air missions heard it's an important part of all preflight planning. the fact that it has been taken off line means that pilots may struggle to have an accurate sight picture of the trajectory of their flights take. it is very important. the faa says this about it. they say they are working to restore its notice to system. performing final validation checks and reloading the system alpert operations across the national airspace system are affected. we will provide frequent updates as we make progress.

guys, we're digging now to find out whether this might affect the president and first lady's transportation and whether it might impact other white house staff that are flying all around the country today. >> steve: thank you very much. regarding this notams system, excels pilots before they take off where hazards. forest fires and something like that that you got to be worried about. this is the first time in history this notams system has ever failed. it is also the first time since 9/11 that all american airlines have been grounded. according to abc news, apparently, you know, and there's been some speculation about a hacker or something like that. they are reporting that it was a software issue that developed last night and then lead to a cascading series of i.t. failures. that is what has gotten us to where we are right now. >> ainsley: joining is now by phone is a pilot. he is the vice president of the

southwest airlines pilot association. good morning to you, michael. what was your thoughts when you hear the news, all flights grounded until at least 9:00? >> i finally got word of this happening yesterday afternoon. and overnight, it became a much bigger one. i am not surprised the rounding of aircraft this morning. safety is number one in aviation. out of the abundance of caution, not surprised they grounded all flights. something required to read before every flight gives us information about the arrival. if those gains in the area, certain approach system, lighting system out of service. things like that. pretty important for us to know when we get close sometimes it does affect performance numbers. i'm not surprised they cancel that. >> brian: what's going on behind the scenes? they are all waiting for you to

themselves, who is going to be instructing you our best to go? if they decide to scrub a fly but they want to use a pilot to give somebody a place to send you another direction, who is coordinating all the audibles that are being called right now? >> southwest, our network operations control center is controlling all that. so they are discussing -- they look at pilot times. the big issue we have right now is when will pilots timeout? we are good anywhere from 10-14 hours depending on how many legacy flights there are in a day and how many -- what time we started this morning. depending on that will determine how long we can go for the day. that ten hours includes all the flying time. if you have a 5-hour flight to l.a., and we can only hold out for a 4.5 hours or so before we timeout.

starting on the east coast early in the morning. they will be controlling that at the center. >> steve: michael, the meter doesn't start running because there are pilots who have been at the airport for four hours already. the clock on a ten hours doesn't start until the pilot gets in the cockpit and takes off. >> it starts 30 minutes prior to departure is our report time period required to report to the airport. technically are on duty. that is the issue. by they have the limit. as soon as we show up and report for duty is when our clock starts. >> steve: one other question. you are at southwest. famously, you guys have had during the holidays had some major scheduling or computer problems. is this going to impact you adversely in a different way than other airlines? >> to be determined. i hope not.

the knock is on top of this. unfortunately, with all aircraft stopped, we won't have the same problem -- we shouldn't have the same problem having clues displays did not where they are at. we should be okay preemptively taking care of these things. >> steve: a lot of people have flights honestly today but also tomorrow. as is usually trickle into the next day? >> likely, when we that cancellation, it will start. how many seats are broken on those planes going to different places. you can only rebook so many people in a day. how many empty seats there are. i'm certain -- >> brian: are you guys still sort pilots? are you short flight attendants? is the workforce an issue still? >> workforce -- southwest is done a lot of hiring.

we currently have enough pilots to do scheduling on the box. we would like to fly more. they're hiring as many as we c can. restrict it -- our growth is restricted by staff. >> steve: michael, was or if you are talking to us on the phone on television, i'm sure you have been talking to some of your colleagues in the airline industry this morning. what are your friends saying who are professionals in the business about what is happening right now? >> is frustrating. airplanes have redundant systems. at least two of everything. i'm not sure how the system works and it never fails doesn't mean it wouldn't fail. hopefully faa has noticed that they need guidance systems as well. >> steve: this is a good point because the federal government famously has now spent trillions of dollars upgrading infrastructure. all we hear about is how the

government is upgrading the infrastructure. then this one computer system that nobody is ever heard of the notams system, it goes down. we don't know exactly why. probably a software thing. it does not appear that there is any backup. if there is a backup, the back of screwed up. >> steve: yeah. to be clear, i don't really know exactly how they operate that system. if they do have backups. clearly, it is not working if they had one. we have to figure that out. >> ainsley: do you have to have notams the system in order to fly the plane? we talk to someone earlier who said it is pages and pages of information and sometimes you don't have time are pilots don't really pay attention to that information. do you have to have the notams in order to apply? >> it is required to have on board before we take off. you can get it verbally. of course, you know, thousands of flights a day. there's no way everybody can get him verbally and make those phone calls to airports to talk of the towers to find out what's going on with the airport today.

it changes. our a lot of them prioritize the most important ones. where we are going and which approaches they are doing. we can drill down pretty quick on which ones are important or not. we do need to have them. >> steve: michael, and control room, can we put up the flight aware thing that shows the number of airplanes that are currently in the air and need to land? it does show you. can we go to the graphic of the 48 connected states? there we go right there. as we look at the plane is still in the air, michael, there are a lot of planes still up there. most of them are probably fedex flights or ups cargo flights. you share the air space with lot of cargo movers. >> yes, we do. any airplane in the air, you know, because it is not many of them, they can get the current notice no problem verbally. i don't want you to be concerned about that.

>> st>> brian: can you get confirmation on that? >> i do not have any confirmation on that right now. i will probably finding out the information. >> ainsley: how does this affect our country financially? think about all the people missing business meetings or packages trying to get here and there. >> yeah, it's going to be huge -- depending on how long this lasts. it's gonna be a huge impact to everybody especially the airlines. southwest nearly a billion dollar hit last weekend. is it going to help our bottom line or in the airline bottom-line when it's already a pretty tight margin to begin with. >> steve: as a pilot, michael, i'm sure is that people are coming on your airplane over the last week or ten days after the problems at southwest, i'm sure a lot of them have poked their heads in the cockpit and said, are we going to be taking off on time with you guys and stuff

like that? 's to go there's deftly not opportunity that sure for our airline. we have made it clear to everybody trying to tell all our passengers that there is not a southwest problem. this is a faa problem. hopefully they understand it. >> ainsley: how do they normally respond to that? i'm sure the flight attendants come up and talk to you all and say we have someone who is really upset or whenever the story might be. how do people usually react, planes went they have to be somewhere and they are stuck? >> everybody gets frustrated a little bit. but when it is out of our control, generally pretty nice and understand that it is out of our hands. we are doing everything we can to get them to their desti destination. >> steve: we know you guys have been under scrutiny. this is something that is not your fault. the ugly communication is good. at the last thing we heard is everything should go back in 45 minutes. if that is being relayed, then

people are making adjustments checking their app and finding out what is canceled and the weather is not. for the most part, no you're not coordinating this. if people have flights earlier than 9:00 a.m., are they more likely to get first priority or the first likely to be canceled? >> well, that is a great question. the answer is it depends which is not -- it really depends on how long the flight was, what time the pilot started up, how the timing looks. it is variable. >> brian: if i was can ask you something to allow you guys have more freedom, wouldn't it be great to give you more flexibility when it comes to the flight attendants? if you don't have the exact amount, sometimes, if the passengers agree, we're down one, we want to fly but you don't have enough, you can't. do you ever wish for that type of flexibility? >> the flight attendants play an integral part of our safety

aspect of the airline. the number of flight attendants are dictated by how many passengers are on board. every 50 passengers, we need at least one flight attendant. they are not there just as serve drinks and safety briefs. they are really therefore if something bad happens. and we have to do some sort of emergency landing. they will be there to help you guys out of the airplane and the fastest possible manner. i would not be in favor of leaving without the required number of flight attendants. >> steve: they are going to help you off the plane if something goes haywire. i guess, michael, the good news is if you operate a bar at one of the big airports today, you're probably can have a pretty good very busy day. >> it's a busy day in the airport for sure. >> brian: go to the airport with your own bloody mary makes. >> ainsley: you can't get through security with liquid. thank you for all you do. you're getting people home for christmas and weddings and medical treatments.

god bless you. thanks for what you do. i know you are away from your family a lot. >> steve: don't blame southwest. thanks, michael. the white house says there is no evidence of a cyber attack at this point. apparently, it was according to abc news a software problem. >> ainsley: at this fox news alert we've been talking about all morning. this faa is guarding all takeoffs because there was a computer outage. we are live from chicago's o'hare airport and we will be right back. i try to put my arm around any vet that i can, absolutely. at newdayusa that's what we're doing. we put our arm around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase, we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique.

>> ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. this faa grounding all takeoffs until 9:00 a.m. eastern time

after a major system-wide outage. >> steve: more than 3500 flights impacted so far. that number is gonna grow throughout the day. >> brian: live at o'hare international airport. how are the attitudes they are the ground? >> surprisingly, i haven't seen a lot of people throwing fits or anything, steve, ainsley, and brian. this is the united terminal by the way. it looks normal on this side. the nonsecured side of the terminal. people are checking and running flights. they are checking their bags and then they are going through the tsa security checkpoints like they normally would. that being said, we know on the other side of the security checkpoints, it is anything but normal as all flights here at o'hare and across the country departures that is have been paused. we just got an update from the faa in just the last few minutes during the commercial break. it is therefore an update of the morning. they say they are making progress in restoring their

notice to air mission system following an overnight outage. departures are resuming. atlanta airport due to air traffic congestion in those areas. we expect departures to resume at other airports at 9:00 eastern. about 40 minutes from now. we also know president biden has been briefed on the system outage this morning. i just spoke to reporters moments ago. here is what he had to say. >> i just misspoke. i don't know what that causes. i was on the phone in los angeles. i will find out. aircraft can land safety but not take off right now. i don't know what the cause is. they expected to take a look and a couple of hours. >> you heard that president theirs say we don't know what the cause of the system outage is. with the white house is saying that there is no evidence of a

cyber attack which is important. but the problem is they don't know what is causing this problem that has grounded all flights across the country. that is a failure of the technology that they use it sounds like. this is on top of issues within the faa and airline systems over the past several weeks. we know what happened with southwest over the holidays that led to several thousand flights being canceled. then just last week in florida, there was an issue with other faa systems that led to flights being delayed and canceled unable to land at florida airport. today, we know that this started overnight. as of around 5:30 eastern this morning, there were about 400 delays into, out of, and within the united states. now according to flight aware, the number is ten times that around 3500 delays in the united states right now, guys. it could be at least 30 minutes until they get planes back up

and running for departures again. and then of course all of the people who have been deleted here this morning and across the country if there flights have been canceled, they might have to get rebooked on other fli flights. the message is only beginning i think it is safe to say. >> steve: you're right about that. thank you very much. the good news there is that the systems, this notams system that talks about hazards is coming up. have apparently rebooted it. it is never broken in the history of the system. what is interesting in grady's report as they have resumed flights at newark and also atlanta. he said because of traffic congestion there's a reason for that. it's one of the biggest hubs in the east for united. they've got all these planes and they can go to the gates because they are congested. the same thing for atlanta. the biggest hub for delta air lines. before they can get more people in, they've got to get people out there that is why they are going to be taken off.

>> brian: let's talk about what's going on with these documents in mexico. >> ainsley: news breaks all over the country that top-secret information was found classified information, pieces of paper. ten of them actually were found in his office. he had this office when i left the vice presidency years ago. he was hired by the university of pennsylvania. he became a professor. they built him this office. they make this office for him in d.c. they are cleaning out the office and found the documents in the box he says either a locked cabinet or closet. as soon as they did, the president said they did what they should have done and they turn them over to the national archives. he is saying, he is surprised that they were there. listen. >> president biden: they realized there were several classified documents in that box. they did what they should have done. they immediately called the archives and immediately called the archives. to turn over to the archives.

i was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office. but i don't know what is in the documents. my lawyers have not suggested i ask what documents they wear. i have turned over the boxes. they have turned over the boxes to the archives. we are cooperating fully, cooperating fully with the review in which i hope will be finished soon. >> brian: hold your ears for a second i will tell you what's in these documents according to reports, they contain at least ten highly classified documents that have topics like iran, the u.k., and ukraine in terms of their content. now you can take your hands off eight years and now your lawyer can tell you. jonathan turley on last night said he can think of a legal reason why joe biden would be recommended not to find out what documents he took. here are democrats reactions trying to deflect.

>> d.o.t. is reviewing classified documents that are found -- >> they said they found them there. >> do you think that poses a national security threat? >> no. >> why not? >> i don't think so. >> they were not accessible. that is why appropriate process was followed. this is not mar-a-lago. this is not a president refusing a subpoena. i don't think it compares at a all. >> here's the thing good a lot of republicans are talking about the hypocrisy of donald trump holding top-secret stuff was a threat to national security, wasn't this the same thing? >> ainsley: do you think nancy would've put down the cookie? a little slack. >> steve: why does this go from here? the guy who the justice department put in charge of investigating the joe biden thing that happened before the midterms but we are just running out. john laos, he has in his report to the home office of the

attorney general. no more briefings are planned. now the attorney general is going to have to decide whether or not to open a criminal investigation against joe biden. appoint a special counselor or consider -- the a.j. is in a pickle. it's hard to charge donald trump for what happened at mar-a-lago if he doesn't also charge joe biden for what happened at -- >> brian: the attorney general should have disclosed on november 2nd that they found these documents. why did you hold out until cbs brings the story that this has been done and he has taken them? joe biden -- he is not supposed to be playing politics. isn't he supposed to be above it? >> ainsley: he didn't want anyone to find out, brian. >> brian: that is really the attorney general already looks bad. if you think he is having a tough time, he really doesn't. on november 2nd coming at the documents print on november 18th, he assigns a special prosecutor to donald trump her to look at everything and realize hypocrisy

was just around the corner and willing to take the slings and arrows. fox news alert, departures are resuming after this faa outage this morning. takeoffs are on hold until 9:00 i am. that is a stain. another live report in a moment. , it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk.

>> brian: fox news alert. >> steve: moments ago, newark and hartsfield-jackson atlanta airports. big knobs for united and delta are resuming departures due to air traffic congestion in those areas. >> brian: all other flights nationwide will remain grounded until 9:00 a.m. >> ainsley: live at the philadelphia international airport where more than 50 flights are delayed right now. thanks. >> yeah, and counting of my guys. it is interesting. we have been serving this story all morning long. if you take a look of the boards behind me, they tell a falsehood. down at the bottom, they say tuesday january 10 through those boards have not been switched for half a day at least. i can show you this. that is a more updated one. there is no good news to be had almost anywhere on a delay and cancellations across the board. more than 50 just now. that is as counting. it's going to be much higher.

this flight system of ours is a chain reaction. it is interesting because i'm speaking with folks this mor morning. leah and alonzo were flying frontier airlines. they are telling me they were actually out onto the tarmac in the lineup for taking off when they were brought back to the terminal. is this true? >> yes. >> tell me what happened. >> we got on the plane and put their luggage and went to the usual process and pulled away from the gate and went out onto the tarmac. they made an announcement that there was something going on with the faa, some kind of glitch. they brought us back to the gate and we are sitting around waiting. >> that aligns with everything we have been reporting. all of this as a result of a faa computer glitch to their notams system which we are hearing has never happened before. it is cold comfort of folks who are stuck right now. may not be the only computer glitch. you are telling me that the flight that you and alonzo were on on the tarmac getting ready

to take back to the terminal, the plane literally sitting on the tarmac right now. what is frontier airlines computers say about it? >> that it was departed. that it took off and that it is on time. >> frontier airlines says that the plane that was on the tarmac that was supposed to be carrying you to know florida is on its way to florida. we know that it is not because you would be on it. >> that is correct. >> where does this leave you all? hoping to leave on the same plane in a little while? >> hopefully so we can get to our destination and every everything -- >> although things going on. this buddha glitch and everything else. tomorrow, thankfully. >> tomorrow. you have my prayers and my thoughts. i hope that all works out for you. honestly, i'm riding with you vicariously. florida sounds real good right now. i wish you all safe travels and all the best. it's a lot of things and you've got to follow twitter a lot. it was only an hour ago that the faa came out asking for these

delays that we are seeing it across the board. came out a good half hour after united went out and said that they are going to delay their flights. what is being put out is interesting from this speed in light of the fact that they are working on this computer glitch last night between 10:00 and 11:00 when it transpired. they have had all night. you get the feeling that they were trying to get it done before all of this happen. and now all of this is happ happening. >> steve: a glitch as they said. hank flynn live in philly. thank you very much. joining us once again, it is interesting when it first tab in, we suggested perhaps it is a slimy thing. a hack or something like out for the white house has come out and said it was not cyber. we just ran a cell right with the president. he says we don't know what it is. >> i think the lines of communication are a little muddled right now between all of the different agencies. let's just stick with this faa.

pete buttigieg tweeted if he is on at that is comforting. i think the biggest story right now is what is going to happen today at the nation's airports. this is going to throttle the nation's airports for the day. when you have one delay, it is a cascading effect. we talk about that earlier. >> ainsley: look at this couple. thankfully they decided to fly down a day before the cruise leaves. hopefully they will get down there today. in these situations i bet you see rentacar soaring. people like them rent a car and just try to drive to florida. >> rental cars sold out during the holiday disaster with all the weather that happened across the country. it is likely -- that may happen again today. you mentioned -- i'm glad you brought that up. we are talking about the inbound aircraft that have to come in. airports can only get to handle some of the aircraft on the ground. there's only so much tarmac space or space at the gates. they've got to get those planes in and out. >> steve: somebody is in their way.

>> folks, just back your patience today. try not to yell and scream at gate agents and crewmembers. it's not their fault. >> free drinks from the beverage cart. >> the fact that they knew about something last night i couldn't fix it by this morning shows that is pretty serious. thank you so much. back to a fox news alert. departures resuming in atlanta and newark after those faa outage this morning. takeoffs on hold until 9:00 a.m. for the rest of the country. 22 minutes. hold on tight. congressman andy biggs reacts live next.

system outage. the biden administration says there is no evidence of a cyber attack at this time. the president is calling for a full investigation. in spring and g.o.p. congressman andy biggs. it is the number one story. pete buttigieg communicated that he doesn't know anything at pretty surprised as secretary of transportation doesn't know anything? >> i am not surprised. it is unpleasant that i have to say that. i'm not surprised because that is consistent with values and on kind of question or issue that we have had in our transportation sector since he became secretary. what is chilling about this today, brian, is the fact that this is happening and going on. we have known about it overnight. he has no idea what happened or how they are going to fix it and how long it is going to last. that is an enormous impact on our economy and revenues today. >> we got word of it on the show at about six: 15, 6:20.

we started today. if it was 6:00, you could have given people some advice it seems. they will be an after action report. speaking of that, stunned to find out and so is the president somewhat surprised that there were top-secret documents in his closet that they claim was locked since 2017. they include topics for ukraine. what else is new? the u.k., and iran. the highest level of secrecy. what is your reaction to this? >> i am as outraged as my colleagues are. you look at it and you say, when did they know about this? we are finding out they knew about this in november. we are not binding about until january. did they know about it prior to the election? and is the president -- does he feel that he was as a responsible as he claimed president trump was? this gets to the whole notion of what is going on with joe biden and of the biden white house.

this is another perfect example of perhaps two high frontier justice where you send in dozens of agents to raid mar-a-lago and go for the first lady's cupboards and her dresser. you've got joe biden that he is stashing stuff that is -- that is a problem. that is a huge problem. >> brian: how about the fbi. okay, is that all the documents you have? i didn't take the former presidents word for it. i'm not saying they should raid his place. should the fbi in their to make sure those are all the documents? is that my lawyers have suggested that i don't ask what the documents were. what kind of lawyer would say don't ask any questions about what documents you took? >> first of all, the fbi should be looking at this for sure do see what all happened there. and more than that, i think you are right. but who is surprised by that?

president biden doesn't seem to know much about anything that is going on. i'm sure his lawyers thought he should get an ice-cream cone or something. let's find out. >> the decision that kevin mccarthy when i and confirm yesterday that adam schiff, eric swalwell, and congresswoman omar will not have a place on committee. they will not be allowed to serve on committees. what is your reaction? >> i think they definitely should be taken off the specific committees that they were on. i am not sure that they shouldn't have any committee assignment at all. i think in particular with the leaks that were coming out of the intel committee and their past and some of their activities merited some kind of discipline. >> s>> brian: it's game on. the inviting is over and now it is back to work. congressman andy biggs. let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean.

>> i will introduce you to my friends. we have so much rain across the west and more of it on the way today and thursday into the weekend where we are dealing with not only heavy rain but we could see very gusty winds and even tornadoes the other day and then they have a mountain snow across the sierra nevada. this will be a story not only today but for the rest of the work week into next week. we do not see any relief in sight for our friends in california. then we have a severe threat from parts of the southeast up towards the midsouth and then perhaps a coastal storm as we get into the thursday and friday. we will keep you up-to-date with all of that with foxweather.com. what's your name? >> beth. >> bill. landau. >> carla -- >> atlanta. >> do you love brian kilmeade? >> yes it >> they expect coffee and doughnuts after that. >> i don't know why you do that,

>> steve: 8 minutes from now, flies from coast to coast thinking to be able to start taking up again after a massive fbi software outage -- >> ainsley: faa, not fbi. >> steve: fbi. this is not their problem. this is the one problem that is not their problem. >> brian: the president ordering an investigation of what exactly happened. >> ainsley: lucas tomlinson is in washington. >> steve: what's with the fbi,

lucas? >> we are reports that the ground stop which grounded all u.s. aircraft across the country is now been lifted. about 7 minutes early. the white house says the president has been briefed. all these lights are set to resume immediately. anna tweed from karine jean-pierre, she says there's no evidence of a cyber attack this morning. the department -- the faa will provide regular updates. the cause of the grounding of the aircraft was the notams. because of our viewers pilots are former pilots out there notice as the notice to airmen in the name was changed a few years ago to be more inclusive according to the faa. notams is a critical part of predefined unanchored notifying comments about issues that will potentially impact their flight. warning about any potential military exercises, a rocket launch, missile launch, weather hazards, and flock of birds. any last-minute warnings.

aboard a u.s. warship knows the mariners similar advisory system. channel 16. the faa doesn't know what causes notams' and outage grid is the first known failure of the system in u.s. history. many pilots out there griping about how old it is. >> steve: we spent trillions of dollars on upgrades for infrastructure. you would think that something so critical to our nation's economy, they would've updated that. instead they got a computer from the eisenhower years. >> southwest airlines ground and all those clients with all technology. you see the computer readouts from notams looks very old. it is an old system. it might be worth looking at about an upgrade. >> steve: secretary of transportation not exactly ahead of the curve on this. i would think they get this ready and everybody is delayed massively. >> ainsley: no movement at any

of these airports. >> steve: quick question. usually with a big system like that, there is a backup. you are often at the pentagon. they have backup systems for everything. is this one of those things where they have the one system? >> the backup system would be the phone or talking to the control tower. the flight controller telling you notams is out. birds off the runway is broken. here's another one. radio. exactly. communicate, communicate. >> ainsley: what's happening on the ground and how they can affect their flight. maybe they can -- to many flights at once to be on the phone with all the pilots. that's why the pilots can read the notams system. >> steve: thank you very much. >> ainsley: we have more "fox & friends" just moments away. was not good. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her

that permanent solution. [ marcia ] clearchoice dental implants gave me the ability to take on the world. i feel so much better, and i think that that is the key.
