I am surprised there are only 3,000. After all, all they have to do is press a button, and say, ``Send out another 3 million direct mail pieces to all of these people that are involved in this extreme environmental movement in this country.'' And I would be surprised if it was only 3,000. But those people aren't the Governors of the Western States. They aren't the Senators that represent Western States. And they are not the people within the BLM and others who are professionals in this field. This is coming at us now as edict on high. This is supremacy of the Federal Government. I have to tell you. I have dedicated my life against that. I think the Senator should remember that. We have been out here before saying you can't make laws from the executive branch. It must come through Congress.

I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander.

And yes, I’m still in the Democratic Party, even though folks like me maybe aren’t winning our primaries.

We need to win this Senate seat, because Elissa Slotkin deserves a partner like Abdul in the U.S. Senate.
