It's it's going to be a long one but we have to make sure that we get the answer. So there were there were seeking in this are those divers back in the water this morning stars and back in the water for hours. Now I cannot I can't stress enough the heroism of these folks they are in frigid conditions. They are down there in in in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them. They are trying to navigate mangled metal and they're also going to place a day. It is now presumed that people have lost their lives. So the work of these First Responders the work of these divers. I I I I I I cannot stress enough how remarkable these are these individuals are. Disability sport huge economic impact from States impact on the country and that's why I think when we seen how the entire country has rallied around Maryland and rallied around Baltimore. It's because of the understand of the Port of Baltimore is not just in packing Marilyn. If you look at this, we are this this port is responsible for over 51 million tonnes of touring cargo is the largest in the country dad for everybody who is buying cars for everybody who was buying farm equipment. Where do the largest port in country that does that so this is not just in passing Maryland. This is impacting that farmer in Kentucky is impacting that auto dealer in Michigan. And so it is imperative that we get this bridge rebuilt. It's imperative that we get to Ford of Baltimore back up and going and is not just about how we supporting Maryland. It's about how we support the American Icon. We had something similar in Pennsylvania last year in Philadelphia with the 95 bridge. If you heard from Governor Shapiro, and who else have you heard from around the country offering any sort of help or support and encouragement? Overwhelmed by the amount of Outreach do we receive from Governors from around the country? Vote Democrat and Republican from the amount about recently received from from philanthropist from people who are sick or just asking how can they help and so Maryland.

We've got to bring his family. I promise he's family. I would I would instruct every single acid that we have to focus on that search and rescue air Land and Sea assets to books on search and rescue now that Natalie transition to the recovery phase my promise to them is this I will devote every single resource to making sure that you received closer investigation still it still it still young. There's a lot that we still have to have to figure out. But I think that we know is where ever the investigation leads that we will follow and we will make sure those rubbish would had a building around it is affected by the closure of a record any thoughts about about that. It's important to make sure that these workers are protected and of these workers are supported the same the same thing is about as for me to make sure that these families are supported in this time. We are to be working with members of the general assembly. We're going to working with members of our federal delegation, but we have to ensure that we can both get our economy going and knowing that for these workers and we were talking about a Ford Dodge was responsible for over a hundred and forty thousand jobs in directly are impacted by the Port of Baltimore. And so we have to both make sure that our workers are supported and get a mistake on the movie again.
