Resoundingly, yes. I am just laughing that every time DOGE puts up their supposed savings, they then try to take them down because, as soon as they are fact-checked, so many of them are not done. And I don't want to say all of them. I…

I appreciate your allowing me to yield to you to answer a question while retaining the floor. I am going to continue with a little bit more here before we change topics for the night. I want to point out how grateful I am for my friend…

My mom would be so upset with me, my Aunt Marilyn, Butch, my Aunt Shirley, all the people that are your constituents and not mine, they would be upset with me if I didn't yield to you for a question while retaining the floor.

Exactly. And my dad, who is in heaven with a lot of the other good folks from American history, I don't know what he would think of his son, but I know he would be proud of you. All right. Let's talk about the economy.

I will. So you and I both know that in 72 days now--it is the next day--that of the 72 days that Trump has been in office, he has caused havoc on the American economy, especially given the economy he inherited. Inflation is up. Prices are…

For Jack Reed, I would do just about anything. So I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

And, again, you and I and the Presiding Officer, there are a lot of people here I know that operate from just a place of just like decency. There are problems with government. We need to fix them. We need to make government more efficient…

Yes, I am. That country that has shed more blood than any of our allies, side-by-side, fighting with America is Canada--is Canada.

The mere fact that you can quote Alexis de Tocqueville-- you have got me. You have me.

I so appreciate the Senator, and I want to tell folks that when I wrote my book, I thought I knew this man here. I did a lot about environmental justice in my book. I did a lot about these toxic chemicals out there that are threatening our…

And I never got ripped by him. After my meeting, I mentioned earlier in his office, he started inviting me with him. My first codel was with him. He told me all the time: Booker, there are two types of Senators here. I don't mean to cast…

Well, first of all, I will say to you that I meet wealthy people, like a group called the Patriotic Millionaires, who advocate for progressive tax policy and are the first to say and speak out against this tax scam. Again, to me, what does…

Thank you. But the tariffs haven't worked out for Republican Presidents who tried them during the Depression. The evidence is here. Learn from our history.

It was something about this man where the dignity that he had that we all treasured, in a moment like that, he began to elevate. I had my partner Senator here say to me when I got here: You are not a full Senator until you get ripped by…

That is my easiest colleague's question I have gotten within these 13 hours. Yes, they should. I was talking in the healthcare section about, while there are these big issues that we should be concerned about-- $880 billion for…

Therefore, if you are going to ask me a question, I yield for a question while retaining the floor.

We know Wisconsin is getting a lot of love here. I told my colleague I kept seeing folks from two towns--one in your State and one in the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but this person, alas, is from Jersey. I wrote to ask you to do…

Yes. Absolutely, yes. I love that you gave that litany, Senator. I benefited from your leadership on the Intel Committee. You are one of the people that--when things go down on planet Earth, you are one of the small handful of people with…
