good evening everyone, thanks for tuning in, i m alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn tonight. we have a lot to talk about. we are one night away from what will be the unofficial kickoff of joe biden s likely reelection run, also known as his state of the union address. what case will he make to the nation to elect him to a second term? a lot of political types think it s not just what he says, it s how he appears. president biden would be 82 if he wins reelection. he s already the oldest american president ever. is that why so many people are still on the fence? plus, lebron james is on his way to breaking the nba s all-time scoring record. remember when he was advised to just shut up and dribble? he did not take that advice. now he s 36 points shy of lakers legend gerard s record. we will talk about it. is it stressful at all? the chase? no, because it was never goal, it was never journey. the stress so far for me is competing every single day. also, nerve-racking moment
here we go. but david, i know you talked about how there s no faa administrator. yes. does that really affect what s happening on the ground? does that that s a suit in washington, d.c.. that is that really trickle down to what happens on the runway? yeah, you know you think about these broad scope of things that might affect things. in this case, it actually does. because you look at this air surface detection system and it s only and 35 airports. why is it not in more? and you look at the fact that the systems went down, the air traffic control systems, the no time system went down. i really did that directly to the fact that there is more interim faa directors than there have been faa directors in the last 5 to 10 years. so it s something to look at. here s the reason that these systems take a long time to develop. they take 6 to 10 years to go through the life cycle, the development life cycle.
