Hi, this is Congressman ███████████. I'm calling to invite you to join my telephone town hall taking place in just a few moments. We'll discuss my work in Congress, the issues most important to your family, and you'll have a chance to ask me your questions directly. Please stay in the line and you'll be automatically connected. If you're unable to stay on the line but would like to join, just dial ████████████. Please contact me at ████████████. If you have any questions. Please hold while we connect you to your Access Live event. This Access Live event is currently in progress. Please note this call may be monitored, recorded or rebroadcast. If you would like to ask a question during today's event, press Star three on your telephone keypad at any time. That through my committee, the Administration Committee that I serve on as chairman that is ready for action on the floor. I think it's really essential. I think it brings people back together, forces members of Congress to get the job done, get funding reopened for the Department of Homeland Security, in particular, making sure folks like our TSA agents that are forced to show up for work at airports across the country are receiving paychecks. And so two important pieces of legislation that I'm working on here on the front lines. One, stop insider trading members of Congress shouldn't be trading stock, and two, preventing members of Congress from getting paid during a shutdown. Both of which I think we got a real opportunity to move all the way across the line, have signed into law. Again, it's Congressman ███████████. You joined our live telephone town hall. If you have any questions, hit Star three on your phone. And let's begin with a question. I think we have █████ on the phone. █████, are you with us? Where's home? And what's your question? I'm home and I'm from ██████████████████. What's your. Yeah, no, no, no. But it's a great. It's a great community in ██████████████. What's your question, █████? It's a two part. Number one, thank you for serving, and thank you for both of your pushes. Number one, that congressman shouldn't be paid. I have roughly half a million miles. I've been through TSA countless times, and they have a thankless job, and them doing it and not getting paid is ridiculous. I read this morning, and I don't know if the figures are accurate that like, ███ TSA agents have quit. If you can't afford to feed your family or pay your mortgage or whatever. They have no choice. Number one, it's going to take three to six months to replace all these people. At least that's what I understand, and I absolutely support you in this. And I personally believe after ██ years and work in corporate world, you know, they ought to put the president and two of the, I guess, ranking members, one from each party, in a room, and you don't come out of the room until it's settled. █████? Yeah. █████, let me. Let me jump in, because I think you're. You're spot on. I think it's ridiculous. I'm frustrated. I came from the private sector, so when I first ran, I worked for a manufacturing company in southeast █████████. And you saw exactly how you took on big tasks where sometimes you disagreed with people, and that's just fine. But then you did exactly what you're saying. You put them in the room and you said, you got to solve the problem, and you're not coming out until the problem solved.
