Hi welcome everyone. I'm at Victory Advocate Editor and publisher Chris Cobbler. We're pleased to have with us today. Congressman Michael Cloud. He's come in today to help he said. Join and talk about the news of the day the news of the week the news of the month. Yeah come in for team for weeks to come and I guess before I get started into the question. I just wanna say you know each other a long time 10 years. and while I don't know while a while a while and I just always enjoyed our conversations, it's funny to me how. Well two years ago, we're sitting on Starbucks Patio talking about your campaign during the special election and now here we are. it's amazing how fast things have changed and The traffic we important position you have now to honor that you have to to try to answer all the questions and feel help everybody there is unusual unusual time. Yeah, my life. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, of course, I'm here to serve and and I mean who would have thought. The challenging times will be in right now. I mean this kind of thing is just really unprecedented and I've charted territory. Yeah uncharted territory, but thankfully by enlarge the nation is coming together. I think to do what we can to address this issue and there is hope out there. I think that's maybe one of the things people need to see this in the context of it and no doubt it's a serious thing that we are taking seriously. people need to take it seriously but but The same time you're like we we will get through this as a nation. there is hope at the end. There's a brighter future beyond this and and you can stay together get through this and and we'll we'll see a good recovery. on the other side. We got some important message and I had 12 board meeting. Encourage people to write editorials and to also encourage people to come together and recover together cuz cuz it is serious, but we do need to keep our heads about us and see the leadership have people leaders step forward. Alright, but let's let's jump to what Congress does. Yeah. In fact, that that's where a lot of these questions are gonna revolve around and I pulled out this to remind myself everything was happening. eight days headlines. Alright from from when Monday, we'll start that was March eleventh. The March. The March tenth paper is Monday, March ninth when the market crashed and we just started kind of I think of the nation waking up to what was happening and then speeding forward a little bit. Still back to the last Saturday when you voted no on the hundred billion dollar, I got my money straight. You know was hundred billion dollar aid package. all these big numbers. Well, yeah and then the shoot this. we don't really know how much right. Alright. So yeah I built it passes in it. yesterday, 98 immediately signed by the President and what all if you publish a guest column explain your position. Let's talk about that. a little bit included provisions for free testing. paid sick Leave food for school children who knows what else I guess. And Congress said they need to move quickly so the question is what second thoughts do you have if any about going against President Trump and Republican leadership leadership and work well for me, you know I'm at four or against anyone, you know, I took an oath to uphold the constitution and I realized we're in extraordinary times. It's almost like a war in the focus that we need to get through this but I can tell you the process going through this bill. I think it sheds a little light on it. We had two days of closed door negotiations and as a member of Congress was trying to get information about what was going on inside those negotiations was you know more information was coming out of the close door bottom of the basement each month earrings and was coming out of these negotiations. so we were trying to get draft hearings draft you know. Draft language on the build is anybody know over negotiating over and then to find out that there's an agreement between the Secretary of Treasury and Speaker of the House. I mean that's great and fine, but that's not where the constitution places where these negotiations are supposed to be happening. You know where it's supposed to be among the representative body representing the people for the very reason that one of the big issues with the bill. there were things that I liked in it and you know I had just earlier voted for a point three billion to help provide test kits and those kind of things and I am. I'm happy that this second bill makes us insure that those test kits will be free to the public but but the idea that specifically much of the brunt of the recovery was placed on small businesses and specifically excluded businesses, 500 of them above and we've seen in time throughout history prices after crisis After crisis the rich, the powerful the connected ended up end up doing well. Somehow, in these prices where those who are struggling to to make ends meet or make payroll happen, end up taking the front of the bourbon and so it's important to me to make sure that. Small business voice was heard and not just because of small businesses because of Enterprise Fitness. Since you know there was there was a message we saw what was said you know I I have 40 people at this bill passes I'll be out of business in 60 days. That's 40 families that suddenly have no provision and and so we have to find a way to come out of this recovery because I'll tell you this they were still in the past. We've had the you know we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it. In this case, they were still. The bill as we were voting on it and so they're in the cloak room actually still trapping and make a mental. and to that point. the bill is a hundred 10 pages long. we had about 2030 minutes to read it and just Monday they passed the corrections to it. That was almost 90 pages long, so it took 90 pages of corrections to fix A hundred and 10 page bill. I did say that was their intention all along to pass the bill pass an expo so quite well. The third bill is gonna be down the line and we're still dealing. That has do with recovery, but still who's intention was it was a Congress intention or was it the speakers intention or was it the Secretary of Treasury and so this is supposed to go through and delivered body just to it for the very exact purpose to make sure that the people are represented. so we're the ones on the you know we're traveling. I just got the phone with Judge Dallas. We're talking to the You know we've been travelling the district to find out all the needs going on we're in the other day. Toughness the judge order the other and you know all over. We're we're listening to the needs and doing our best to make sure that we listen, let's talk about the next bill that is coming. That's even bigger. much much bigger in the Senate is getting ready to pass a massive one trillion Dollar Economic Recovery Act. It's really hasn't been seen in my understanding anything like this since the Great Depression early in terms of the scope and size of it and it could get to the House. It's always a shifting. But I think as early as Tuesday, maybe I'm not sure you may know better than that, but so what but no one that's coming your way. What is your position on the key provision in it and how do you see yourself quoting it well. We're still looking at all that I know a number of you know a number of us are back in the district and then a number of our Washington staff at least are just since working and so we're on a number of group text with different. Than it is and going to the provisions of the bill and bring it down. we definitely need to find a way to get liquidity to the market. so there's a number of ideas that are still being such as like a five - hundred - dollar monthly. that's What did you go through sorry to interrupt you but different provisions of it. What do you think are the key provisions? the quality and the ah well you know number of people do have savings weather in you know in the four one K whether they have in a savings over some olives and taken them out lock down so we are we have fun available to something you know make a long to myself right now I can help your business to this time which work So what we can do from a regulatory standpoint to continue to lift the burden and to keep to keep assets flowing The important thing for me is to is, for example, with you know I know one of the big ideas is you know, let's let's get a thousand dollars to every family from which may work, but to me if we have to look at the whole package because a thousand dollars to every family doesn't help if the supply chain aspect is broken, I mean that's not gonna put toilet paper on the shelves. It's just you know, so we have to make sure that the businesses are up and working. We gotta make sure that the whole supply chain is. Functional in in a standpoint to where we begin to kinda crawl out of this and rebuild, but the idea of of giving money to every family does that sound and principle right to you and that's sound like something we should do well. There's there's a lot of things that are. We're here to say we're past the point of what's ideal. Alright. Yeah. so my House society is supposed to function or free market economy. What's all that you know going back to the idea that we're we're in a sense on a war footing at the moment and so what kind of extraordinary ideas we have to look at you know there's some data that shows that that hasn't really helped the economy in the past. but but there's other data that maybe it's okay. So you know, we're weighing all that and looking at that. that would be part of the part of again. The overall picture is coming down so what we vote. Another provision is I'm an airline industry bail out there a lot of people parts of this, but I didn't think about that as there was a Bank bailout in 2008, Yeah, I I I would prefer loans long-term loans I think that would be that would be better in a long term. you know again, it's a small businesses aren't getting the bail out. So I understand the need for me to give our transfers from importation infrastructure, but if we constantly bail out the big diversion powerful connected without getting the same rights to to those who are working their payroll every week or you're looking for a paycheck. So you know I understand showing up and there's been talk about you know when it comes to businesses and small businesses, large businesses to the per payment loans and those kind of things but a pause in the lending industry, you know. In that sense, whether it be airline industries or whether it be someone in an apartment who who's out of work for two weeks, he can't make the rent payment about to be foreclosed on, but then also the property owner not Not being out as well and then being able to pay off their mortgage later enough and not be not lose their property that they're running health. you know, so those are the kind of things that I think that we could be looking at. yeah the the individual loans. Did you guys just speak up a little bit? Yeah? Okay. We're talking a little louder. I'm sorry about that. I'll be microphone. Yeah. usually it's alright. but maybe we're being too too soft. I guess about individuals. I mean everybody. I made a mistake and looking at my forearm kids other day and it's doesn't look good and but I put my reaction just an individual person. I don't wanna take more money out to loan to myself. I'm not I'm not a position. I don't need to do that I mean, but but I could tell American. notoriously great savors anyway, so you know how do they just individual? What do you? what can you do to help individuals recover from this well and that's our day That idea came from a business owner. so you know, he said. You know I have some funds in there. I can help show the business to get us through but but I don't even have a way to access that right. Yeah and I see it for business my question for individual. I'm not talking about me as. Person to run this business, which has a whole another set of questions that but just as an individual individuals who have some retirement savings, but I wanna keep it out of the out of they access more cash other than perhaps to this extraordinary check from the government right right well. That's why I'm open to looking at it as part of the package, but we've got to make sure all the all the pieces are are there as well and so you know there's a lot of ideas on the table right now and it it's. Very much top line right now, there's not a lot of detail into it. as a matter of fact, the bill that passed a lot of a lot of what was in. it was okay. We'll let the Secretary of Treasury figure this out. And it kinda pass the buck a little bit and it's written into the the Texas. After 911, President Trump, my memory serves arrange for $300 checks to Americans who created the whole Department of Homeland Security when there was a massage preference present for them and so that was those are extraordinary pressures right. What do you foresee coming out of this like that? This is like our own version of 911, our own version of 2008 crash. I've heard it compared to World War two. What can you talk to us a little about what sort of big ideas might come out of this or big changes might come out of this. So much of this is I think too soon to tell on a lot of it, you know, I think there's a good chance. We'll we'll get payments every family hopefully we'll be able to short small businesses are showing up our industry. But you know I I'm interesting to see long-term how this plays out one of the conversations I've. You talk about how our our culture is kind of not good at savings. Well, part of that is the fact that our economic structure our tax policy and everything kind of. It goes against Satan, it is we have a very constructive economy and you're kinda some ways punished for savings and so I I've been trying to have the conversation that we need to create a better tax structure that allows people in encourages people to to say and you know that doesn't help us do this but might help us to the next one. so so those kind of conversations I think coming out of this will be easier to have to help us more resilient resilient. you know I I. Doubt that this is gonna be the last sort of virus that we see down the line so there will be a lot of lessons to learn. one thing that is is encouraging to see is at all levels from the County level that will stay Is everybody working together all hands on deck to to deal with this and and and the dynamics of this morning we're dealing with a resident who stuck in Mexico because they went shopping with supplies and forgot their firearm was which in Texas is okay. We crossed the border has been finding supplies that was an arrest in jail and another President who's stuck in the country that we're trying to get back and and if you know, then we get a call. we we in Corpus Christi. We have a Mobile test site that went on today. so that's great news Get some prayers for those who would need to be tested but but that also that's good news, but then also creates a supply problem. Some of the some of the. Medical so they will test it in Corpus Christie any any ideas that might come to Victoria or more testing. We're working on it. I've sent a letter to to the governor yesterday along some other reps along the southern part. Of Texas, just making sure that I'm specifically with the situation at the border and then our rural communities that they don't get overlooked in the district. and and you know one thing we we just have to realize is people are working hard, but there is a lag between when the policy decisions made in the implementation happens in logistics can be set up Getting a Mobile testing facility isn't just getting the tent and the swab kits. You also have to protect the people doing doing the work. So, for example, I'm talking through this how this works and incorporate the facility coming up there. You have somebody come out they get tested, but then you have your PPE that you have to get rid of for the next client. So there's there's a number of challenges that everybody's working to solve that except what when did when did going back into this? Of all in the last week or so, when did you really decide? I think how serious this actually is, I think a lot of us don't. That's a really good question. You know we we barely got out of impeachment and then Congress started to go kind of toward what I'd say is regular order, which isn't really regular order. but back to kind of okay. we're going to Committee hearings that were kind of kind of almost a side. Okay, Let's get back to work and we had that for about a week and then we had a week in the district so store in the district and then we went back and it was in front of ours. Cuz I suck definitely turn pocket in terms of how local and federal officials work together. it felt a lot like here from the ground that the local officials weren't really sure what to make of it. I mean and understandably so honestly that they didn't have the experts from the CDC or anybody really telling them a lot and and I can tell you from watching our local officials press conference, which I give all credit for doing. From Sunday to Monday, just this week, the tone trained changed dramatically and on Monday it went from you know. Rapidly from stay away from 250 people and I was like 50 people. 10 people. let me know it's like boom Boom boom and the tone of that press conference changed immediately. I was like this is serious, but yeah, and I just wanna ask about that in terms of just a framework for how that works and it's so much of it in our government is predicated on a lot going to local, but in times like this when this is a. Pandemic is there more from a federal level It should be done to communicate information to local officials. Yeah there. there's a number of challenges there of course we're gonna get at the end of this and we're all gonna look back and there's gonna be a lot of lessons to be learned and then we'll get better at the next time. there's a lot of things that we're doing right of course, there's gonna be things we learn. I'll say one of the things that that you know early on in the stage that I would sit in the briefings with the scientist and the doctors and the heads of all the the Alphabet soup of agencies. I deal with this and you know we each week that passed. We know a lot more than we did even from the science of of the the virus and effective than what the symptoms are, and you know all those kind of things you'd sit and everything one week and and there was kind of the scientists are still trying to figure it out as well and and so you're trying to make public policy. that brings a sense of clarity so that there's not a panic but you don't want to give a you wanna be at. What you're saying as well, but it's based on science is still developing and so that's been a big part of it. when I called through you know every County judge in our district, one of the main questions I was asking was you know how are you on supplies? how are we doing in protecting our sensitive populations in the area? You know, restricted access for nursing, but one of the big ones do you feel like you're kidding me information. you need to make the decisions that you need to make and in your area and what can we do better? To do that we we have a website. you know our our normal House. Our normal website cloud dot House dot Gov is there, but there's a link to a micro site that we've developed just for this that we're continuing updating with information that's available. so we're trying to build out. There's so much information coming right now. So we're just dissecting get into okay. What's what's what's for small businesses? What's for you as a person as an individual? What do you need to know? what do you need to know is? So each day that website is being flushed out, so that's the place that people can go to to kinda get information. We're doing our best to tell her, but if there's other questions that need to be asked especially small businesses, you know and and individuals, health care workers. you know we we need the feedback cuz you know the whole reason we exist is to bring that voice to Washington in these discussions and debates that are going on right now, but but it. In terms of local officials just kidding the information they need to make informed decisions to say that the science was still developing them and it was last week. I guess it was the timing care when doctor bouncy, yeah, he was you were trying to get information from him. you. you were questioning him about the science. Yeah and and he took some criticism for that too, but tell me about that. What where is your mind where you're frustrated with the information you were at in that point. What you're trying to get well, You know a lot of times. Those Committee hearings people ask leading questions and it's stage for TV and YouTube, and you know I've made a decision early on you know you know if I'm asking questions or you know, I'm chilling want to know the answer to that the number of free things with him. Yeah and and and one breaking move here. you know. 50 percent of people don't show any symptoms or 80 percent very mild symptoms. So you know, of course we have you know our sensitive populations. We need to be very cuz because there is 10 to 12. Letters 1012 15 percent rate along you know people in certain populations certainly issues and so, but then you hear another hearing that this is you know something that we need so I was genuinely trying to think you know. I'm getting conflicting information as I sit in these hearings right you know and and I know I'm a little frustrated with it. When I talk to people that come. We're frustrated. We need to bring some clarity to where where this is alright, he would ask him the one percent versus. Flu people through those comparisons around a lot and doctor about my clock on his name. I'm sorry but. He's a leading expert on this, so you imagine you're in Congress feeling frustrated about it. I think how local officials feel about kinda understand what what to do and that connection that I guess I am trying to ask about and explore how do we how do we get the science out better and faster and quicker and less of the politics? about it? How do we accomplish that? That's a big question. That's a very good question and ultimately it's gonna come down to each individual involved. I think by enlarge we've seen a lot of people come together in urban cities. I think just was in the news today that you know, she said. The President finally a really good job when it comes to this, which you know she hasn't been his biggest fan. so it's good to see that people are coming together. There are new challenges being addressed every day and just. Getting getting a hand on the effects that this is having it's it's a very very much an outsized impact from a health perspective and mobilizing it and making sure we've seen you know you seen that. the The whole point is that there's a there's a capacity in you know whatever it is. There's a finite capacity of our our health industry right and so we're trying to keep the curve under that and so. It seems that we're making headway on that. the thing is you know we're wearing a two -week quarantine. The hope and believe is is that that will really help there's some evidence when you go back to like, for example, Spanish blue how communities that practice social distancing fair are better than than those that did it right and so, but we won't really know the effects of that probably till about a week or two. after that, you know the data right now, it is encouraging you know where we're at right Is more people are being tested test gets are going out so that's that's good news so we're gonna see cases go up pretty dramatically at this point to me. it's important though you know when we're comparing to other countries like Italy, for example, that that we're looking at the mortality rate as well cuz right now our mortality rate as a percentage of cases, you know and this is I feel like we always have to say this is what we know right now because this could be different tomorrow. but right now, there's a glimmer of hope there that. we're on the right path, so early data is shows that we're doing the right things and each day that passes we'll we'll know a whole lot. How long do you see this playing out? Yeah, you know I I don't wanna make guesses on that kind of thing cuz that's what it would really be. You know there's talks about whether or not temperatures in the in the summer will help and there's evidence again. although place of that, you know, I think the thing for us to do is is to be as prepared as possible. you know again. We'll know a lot more in 10 days and a lot of these decisions will be better better made that when when you plan to go back to. Commerce Have a timeline? It's it's all it's all up in the air right now I am. I'm thinking we'll be back next week a lot of it has to do with how these discussions are alright proceed and again we're working to be a part of that to make sure that the needs of our district or one of the big issues too that you know just to show you an example, example of how this affects everything is H twoB visas are being limited in Mexico because they're having to be careful in the process, which which deals with our farm population, will affect our food supply. Another one of the. red cross people donating obviously down further impacts to wear This will begin to affect other medical sectors as well, so you know, let's talk about the economy a little more there because it's clear businesses in your district are gonna suffer. That's for sure and we talked some about what way I think can be done Let's talk a little bit more about that I guess and how. How can we keep like whether it's Ramsey's that can't be closed for more than a few days or any restaurant without casually probably really casual problem? What do we immediately do for to keep the local business economy going? Well again, that's what we're that's what we're looking at. We're trying to find ways to provide liquidity for them. whether you know I mean a cash payment may help families. But how does that help businesses very, we can a lot of them have. Loans out that 50 back or operationally you know there could be talks. I mean that's one of the reasons I really took issue with with the bill that passed was the back of exempted businesses father plus, but putting the weight on businesses 500 smaller, I just found that really unacceptable for those very, very reasons. I'm glad that air Handler is kicked off. Maybe that will help us here. It's a little bit better and that's the one downside in here sometimes so. Another issue of course, right now is oil and you know in our area and so on top of everything that's going on with workforce and supply chain and everything like that and Russia decides that this is the time they want to take back and and of course we're working to address that as well. Right. Yeah. Albert announce layoffs. I think was just yesterday. you know it feels really hurting right now. Jobless claims are up. At least on Thursday, figures figures out today so and I guess people are speculating about how how high the job will straighten will go but Any any thoughts on that it's a hard whenever I know, yeah, obviously the sooner we can get a handle on this the better for the families in the economy and that's that's one thing you know. I've been trying to weigh all this and when I talk to others. Keep this in person expected it keeps us in larger perspective. what we have a health emergency where you know in a sense, but there's also you know there's there's a lot of ways for families and lives to be destroyed. You know the things gonna sit right and so you know we have to look at this in a in a large picture, which I think we're trying to do, but it's challenging times definitely challenge. That is a big question. I talked to local officials have been in common. I think when we look back on this, he said. We'll think about it for the number of live lost so that's serious and significant. we'll think about it for the number of about the number of businesses that went bankrupt right and that's right a sobering way. Do you get this dual palm? Yeah threat. We're dealing with right and you know every every life is precious obviously but But at the same time, you know, we have the the health and the breath of our country and families ability to prosper and grow and to pass on the blessings of Liberty and every generation I mean that's that's where. Right so we've got a lesson to learn from this, you hope or how do we deal with cuz this won't be the last pandemic. I don't think and so how do we deal with that in a way that keeps the company that country and companies for that matter of moving forward right? I think well, how do you have? We got the immediate question that the longer term at the same time you're you're having a move in two worlds really right. Obviously, the long term questions are gonna have to come in a few weeks. Yeah. you know, hopefully we'll be open. I think to some of those conversations that have been difficult to have in a status quo environment. I guess when people are just kinda willing to kick the can down the road. You know obviously this is tragic. I'm. Optimistic cautiously optimistic and say that in the long term, there will be a lot we learn from this as as a society, certainly in Commerce in the importance of willingness to act on some long-term things and to prepare for the future. hopefully have acted sooner based on science. Could we have headed off this economic calamity? I don't know the answer that question. Yeah. I don't know that we ever will know that to be honest. you know we acted pretty early compared to past. Similar if we can use that term somewhere epidemics so obviously 2020 is gonna be there'll be less than foreign will help prepare us better for the next one but by and large, I think people are responding and you know again. We'll know more in 10 days. so I I know so many people are probably going stir crazy. Alright used to being out in the balance and You know the thing that I would say too, but just when it comes to the practical pragmatic going to HEB, Alright, you know right now the food supply the toilet paper supply. We have it in country for the whole of Brighthouse the through put of getting in here, so there's really not a need for panic. Alright shopping at at the moment. I realized it work warranty. you know cooking at home a little more. so there's gonna be a natural uptick a little bit but at the same. There's not any there's a need to act with wisdom to be cautious certainly to do we can to follow the decisions that are being made you know over the next couple of weeks to see make ensure that that puts us on a good thing you support all the decisions have been made so far in terms of guidelines to restrict movement and all those sort of things. Yeah. I'm sure if we had a list of a hundred dollars some difference but by March. Had the right approach turns out restricting travel is probably one of the smartest things that we did early on. And you know the hope is that we'll know a lot more than two weeks and hopefully too easily. Certainly, I think it's important to tell everybody that not panic to just follow the guidelines to to not panic shops. All those things are really important to tell what would you say to other people who still are saying still define the guidelines and they're considerable who are still doing that? What would you say to them right? You know we we change my schedule this week not so much to protect me but to protect others, you know, I'm the one who's. Took a thousand hands over the last couple of weeks and I'm the one who's traveling for my job, requires it and those kind of things and so you know, for example, Monday I was supposed to meet with the veteran who's wife has stage four cancer and you know I just call him. I said. You know I love to meet with you, but can we put this off for a few weeks? because I don't wanna put you in danger. Where we're being careful with how we interact with people and I you know, I encourage other people as well just to do the same His wisdom, it's not it's not just about. It's a time for us to to think to work together to protect the people right now. we have people working remotely all always that we can we we canceled our regular enemy with brother Gary Moses, which is sort of heartbreaking to do what they wanna do a story on how her brother Gary is coping with that too. so they're they're just. it's a really awkward time for people and especially in Victoria, Texas, which I think is one of the friendliest city. America I mean one of the most giving one of those volunteer involvement to tell everybody in Victoria, Texas, not give everybody back on the cheek or even shake hands. I mean that is not how we operate. Texas friendly. Yeah. So yeah, but it's important to be able to be smart and do exercise wisdom but not panic and to remember that they're there will be an into this. Yes. Yeah. This isn't this isn't a new normal. This is this is temporary and There's the more we can sit to the guidelines. Hopefully they'll show that curve and shortness go home well you've given a lot of time care any questions that people have added that you've seen or not the only one that has come in earlier was about kind of our homeless population. You know a lot of folks are are really concerned if if a solution like giving them hotel vouchers so that you know they can prevent the spread of that's. An option of these other thoughts that the federal government is thinking about support. Alright the city That's a good question. Thank you for reminding me of that city put out sanitation station just yesterday, but what what else can be done cuz the homeless population or just a less fortunate? Yeah. Well, that's a good idea and all my list of calls to make was was to deal with that specific issue today here in the community. That's why we're working on very long multifaceted and so I can take it. We're working on board again any ideas like that. One other big picture questions that's on my list and we talked a couple of times about you know some of the like more time, but it will pass too. I know as so but the President declared himself a wartime President and and and assume some very massive powers. As a result, more time. presidents have four powers primarily designed to get speed up production of masks and other health equipment that we need to deal with it. So I think that makes sense. but what. What concerns if any of you have about a President or any anyone having that kind of power? Yeah, that's one you know, certainly as as the article one branch of government, you're always concerned about keeping the proper balance of authority and just historically overtime, You know the executive branch. The judicial system we have eroded and the Again by and large, we wanna make sure we keep a check on that but this is extraordinary times and and it calls for extraordinary measures. Now we wanna make sure that and that's one of the issues we had with the first draft of of the bill. The last time was it was a number of the solution that weren't tailored to the emergency declaration. They're tailored to rewriting all of government and we're like no. We're taking extraordinary measures to deal with this situation and as soon as.
