Thank you, Madam President. A lot of things were said about Zoom and getting rid of. | will only speak for myself but I'm
sure that many of my colleagues feel the same way. It wasn't an easy decision. It wasn't something | think that we made
lightly. I think it was something that we thought about, we debated within our heads, and so on.

You could do things like - everybody's worried about delay. | could swear right now, right? What's going to stop me?
You'll escort me out but I'm still going to get the word out. So you're not, you know, by saying that Zoom doesn't have a
delay - you're not - | could say anything right now. Obviously, I'm more respectful than that but I'm just saying that's not
gonna happen. | think you're cutting a lot of people off of Zoom and | don't think its right.
