Please note this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast. If you would like to ask a question during Today's event, press Star 3 on your telephone keypad at any time. She is the only Republican, Georgia Republican that I know who has had the courage to step out of line and to say to speak truth to power insofar as this government shutdown is concerned. We also have a question from ██████, also on the web. Should the president and leaders be paid during the shutdown? Well, I think that we should not be in a shutdown, and it's a shame that we are, and workers are not being paid. The president is a millionaire, as are most members in the Republican conference, both House and Senate. They are millionaires and multimillionaires, and they are not concerned about getting paid during the shutdown. But you do have members such as myself, and we worry about we worry just like all federal employees who are not getting paid worry about not being able to pay bills. And I guess your next question would be, well, why? Why don't I cut my own neck and refuse to accept my salary? Well, you know, I mean, it's more than me involved. It's my family, and I got two homes, two cars, one in ████ one in ███████, and I'm in favor of opening the government, and I'm at work, and so I think I need to get paid, and I'm certainly working to ensure that others get paid as well. And I appreciate that question, ██████ Next question is █████ from Dunwoody. Why don't they talk about how Republicans are lying about the $███ trillion in new spending? Well, there's a lot, █████, that Republicans are lying about, including.
