00:00Thank you. Thank you.
00:17Nice to meet you. Hey, how's it going, man? Very good.
00:21I really like it.
00:24Some of it is, I haven't actually steeped.
00:28Hey, that includes.
00:30I very much look forward to going back to work as soon as possible.
00:35I've had a lot of federal workers come to the stand.
00:39My colleagues from IRS and Treasury, who are awesome,
00:42they came in a big group.
00:44And then there are also people from a different IRS building
00:47who also came through to express support.
00:49Everyone has been wonderful to me.
00:51The business has been cash flow positive,
00:53but I really, like more importantly,
00:57I just really wanted to mention the outpouring of community support.
01:01I feel like the community here really has my back.
01:03I love seeing the people each day.
01:05And I'm looking forward to seeing my colleagues as well
01:08as soon as the shutdown ends.
01:10I intend to continue to operate this on Fridays and weekends.
01:13I saw him on social media.
01:15And I really, this situation, the government shutdown,
01:18was not a good thing for anybody.
01:20So to see somebody making the best of the situation
01:23and doing something, I read that this is something
01:25he had always wanted to do.
01:26So we just wanted to come down and be supportive of that.
01:29I feel great, happy to be back in office and see the people
01:39in the streets and see the city life again.
01:42I'm happy to see all my coworkers again.
01:43I brought in some pastries for everybody
01:46so we can enjoy our first day back.
01:49A lot of people in this building work very hard every day
01:52for the American people.
01:54Happy to be back.
01:56Happy to be back.
01:57Happy to be back.
01:58Happy to be back.
01:59Happy to be back.
02:00Happy to be back.
02:01Happy to be back.
02:23It was a really strong vote.
02:24I was so glad that we got the votes to open the government
02:27back up again.
02:28It's just a shame it took this long.
02:30For whatever reason, Democrats wanted to keep it shut down
02:33for 43 days.
02:35I mean, it was just ridiculous.
02:36But, you know, we came together as Republicans, did it.
02:39Most Democrats still voted no,
02:41even with all the pain and suffering that they caused.
02:44So I think the American people got to see
02:46who doesn't care about people.
02:48Just making sure that my flights leave,
02:51it's a part, and lands on time.
02:53I don't get routed somewhere else that I don't want to go.
02:56I just want to get home safely.
02:58We've been lucky.
02:59We've flown from Miami to D.C. three times
03:03in the past three and a half weeks,
03:05and we had no cancellation in Miami.
03:08Got up here.
03:09Today it's a 45-minute delay,
03:11but that's nothing compared to what a lot of people have been through.
03:14But we've had no problems.
03:17It feels very good about that.
03:20But we were lucky that we hadn't been affected.
03:23So, so far, so good.
