Cory Booker

So will you explain to me? Because I am going to have to vote on your confirmation, which I will not do unless I know you are going to be a champion for communities of color and communities of poverty.

Because if it is my children living in places with cancer alleys, higher instances of respiratory diseases--right now I live in Newark, New Jersey.

So, if confirmed, will you commit, in a nation where we literally swear an oath, you and I, that we will be a country of liberty and justice for all, will you commit to making environmental justice a top priority to alleviate the injustice…

Do you believe, yes or no, that the NRC should subject these technologies to the existing regulatory framework design?

I worry, though, the NRC has a lot of experience in licensing water cooled reactors, but limited experience with advanced non-water cooled designs.

Yet, President Trump wants to hamper our ability to defeat ISIS by significantly cutting State Department and USAID funding.

The Muslim ban that he has been trying to push, I believe, has sent wrong signals and is making Americans less safe.

The way he talks about Islam through his campaign, and even right now the rhetoric he is using is making Americans less safe.

It is outrageous to me that you have an administration out of one side of their mouths want to talk about being tough against ISIS and against terrorism.

Thank you for your response to the questions for the record I submitted on May 18, 2017.

That would cause a nightmare like we couldn't believe.

We are teetering on the edge of a traffic Armageddon in the northeast region.

It is really a crisis throughout the area.

It is a shame that she is doing international foreign policy work but I am hoping it is somebody that you might talk to about how to really be successful.

We cannot compete globally, frankly, or we cannot even create the kind of jobs we need if we are leaving large portions of our populations on the sidelines when it comes to being entrepreneurs.

I just think that our--us, as a society, need to be focused a lot more on sort of bringing more--helping to encourage more businesses to come to fruition.

I am concerned a lot about the fact that small businesses are often disadvantaged when it comes to the government procurement process.

The Obama Administration made some pretty good strides in extending more loans to entrepreneurs of color and women businesses.

Senator Rubio and Senator Menendez have been leaders on this issue, and I thank you for the partnerships we have been able to forge as it relates to China and other activities around the globe.

The promotion of our traditional values supports rather than undermines U.S. national security efforts.

Protesters against the Castro regime do not fly the Chinese or Russian or Iranian flags during May Day parades.

The street protesters in Venezuela who seek outside support to end repression and restore democracy do not write their banners in Chinese or Russian or Persian.

In fact, it could be said to be a lot of, sort of, unintended consequences, let's say, of those proposals that I saw during that time.

How do these consolidation alliances impact portions of our freight network? Is this something that you think we should be greatly concerned about?

Just again, Honorable Cordero, you're almost done, so I'm going to grill you a little bit if you don't mind, especially because I'm very jealous of your hair, sir.
