Carper staff... By the way, I want to know who it is on Carper staff. Just like, you know what? We're going to cut this in half. Okay, based on what data? I've been studying this. Maria Cantwell was fighting for this. This is an agreement. On what data? I want to know what data. This goes to safety of my constituents. And you guys jump in at the last minute, and I'm so goddamn sick of it. And we're told that Carper really wants this. Okay. I respect Tom Carper. I'll call Tom Carper. When I called you, you didn't know anything about it.

[00:00:36]

So it wasn't you.

[00:00:39]

It was your staff. And I don't like this at all. And I would never do this to you. And your staff's handing you stuff for talking points. I get it, right? It's bullshit. And I'm really mad about it. And I'm sick of my state being the target for radical Democrats who feel they can let Regislate on anything just because it's Alaska. And by the way, it always hurts the native people. Oh, we care about Indigenous people, people of color. No, you don't. Why? What data? Whose idea was this? Guess what I had to cave to this morning on the FAA bill? The Carper staff, it wasn't you, Mr. Chairman, the Carper staff compromise. It wasn't a compromise. It was shoved down my throat. It's bullshit. And I want a commitment. Any more legislating on Alaska. If you're going to legislate on Alaska, if I legislated on Delaware, I would go to you. Here's why I'm doing this. I don't get that courtesy, and I'm tired I have it. And I'm really mad because guess what? If there are more plane crashes in my state, I'm going to come to your staff and say, You're killing people in my state.

[00:01:54]

God damn it. And there's no data. I'd like to hear your staff right now say, What was the data in the basis of saying the four-year carve-out in the FAA bill, EPW demanded that it be two years? What's the data on that? I want to know. I want to know right now which staffer was negotiating this. Who was it?
