Well, my name is Stephanie, like he said, and my mom is actually the owner, Erica Frost. And we have been in business for almost 20 years in the beautiful city of Sebulin. And we have been serving the most wonderful customers that we have here that have been coming in and out of our doors. We have been serving the most delicious and most outstanding foods that we have here. And we have been hit these past four years with an economy that has been taking us down. So inflation, largely inflation, a large inflation, where has been, has put us in a balance either we raise our prices and lose clientele, or if we don't lose, we don't raise our prices. We won't make any profit. So my question to you is, how can you help these small town businesses become great and successful? So during my four years, I'll bet you did the best business, right? Yes. Everybody says it. They all say it. In fact, now I put in the speeches at the beginning, were you better off four years ago? Everyone goes crazy. So he said, I saved his business. Good. Thank you very much. So we have to understand that inflation was, in my opinion, the worst maybe ever in our country. For 38 years, I say ever. And a lot of it was groceries and food and things like that. You know, you hear the word groceries, you say, really? But I get more complaints about groceries, everything from hot dogs to bacon and eggs and everything. So what we're doing is, and what they've done is they screwed up our energy. We had energy that was at record lows. It was abundant. The oil companies were making money, but you were having, you were driving cars. I just mentioned $1.84 a gallon. And that's way up. That's double. Everything is double. Everything is double, triple, quadruple. Interest rates were 2 percent. Now there are 10 percent and you can't get the money. We're going to drill, baby, drill. And that's going to bring everything down, OK? That's going to bring everything down because it's such a big component of the fabric of our life economically. Oil and gas, we're going to drill. We're going to bring a pledge that I'm making now. And we've done this a little bit over the last month or so. We are going to bring energy down by 50 percent, 50 percent, 50 percent within 12 months from January 20th. That is going to bring everything else down because it's not just, you know, the damage has been done. They say, well, we're trying to bring it down right now. These people don't have a clue. The damage is done. We have to get the prices down. And that's going to bring other things down with it. We're also going to get the interest rates down because interest is far too high right now. So we're going to get interest. But we're going to get the oil. We have more than anybody. I call it liquid gold. We have more liquid gold than any other nation in the world, including Saudi Arabia, including Russia. No matter where you go, we have more. We're going to use it. You know where we're getting a lot from? Venezuela. Why are we doing that? And it's not good stuff either. We call it the Venezuelan tar. So we're going to get your energy cost down. That's going to bring everything. And you're going to make so much money. I really hope so. I hope with your help, you'll bring El Mariachi back up, how it used to be before four years ago. Good job. Thank you very much. Thank you. Good job, Stephanie. Good job.
