Sean Duffy: “If we had talked about Thanksgiving and what was going to…”

“But for the most part, we work pretty closely together and have seen eye to eye with each other, which is, which is a good thing. Yes. So I would say they've been good partners of ours. I'll just tell you this. If we had talked about Thanksgiving and what was going to happen if we got to Thanksgiving, as I was looking at the data with the faa, my Concern was not Thanksgiving. My concern was this Thursday and this Friday. I think that this was the critical juncture where we were going to see if you thought this weekend was bad with delays and cancellations, truly this Thursday and Friday, I think you would have seen mass, you know, double, triple the number of cancellations and delays in the airspace. So I'm grateful that the Senate and hopefully the House come to their senses and fund the government. Are you urging House Republicans to pass this bill? I am.” (07:06–07:39)
