Mr. President, I don't think I need to tell anybody here that our work is at its best when it is focused on what people care about. Let me tell you what people care about. They don't care as much about buying solar panels and electric cars as they do about not having to live in a community where violent crime is rampant and you have some crazy prosecutor who refuses to put people in jail, who refuses to prosecute entire categories of crime. People are worried about that, and rightfully so. And it is happening. We have these beautiful cities that were once world-class cities that have become unlivable all over this country because we have these lunatic prosecutors that have decided that there are entire categories of crime they will not prosecute. That is the kind of stuff we should be working on here tonight, all night long. If you want to spend all night working on something, work on that. Don't waste time on stuff that doesn't matter to real people working every single day who are not going to be driving an electric car next year or the year after that, but they might get mugged, but they might be a victim of a violent crime.…
