The longer that I have been involved in these whistleblower issues, the more I am convinced that there are kind of two areas.

I think the IG is not just there to look at fraud after the fact and find it once it has already happened.

Do you believe that defined benefit pensions are good for workers?

I think there are ways to manipulate numbers to get a metric goal reached that may not be valid.

I am over my time on this round. I have three additional questions.

Ten thousand Americans are turning 65 every day, and that is going to be the case for years and years to come.

Well, multiemployer pension plans today are responsible for paying premiums. But the plans are financed by contributions from workers' wages.

I sent a letter to the agency urging them to consider universal second factor, a form of MA that is really resistant to all phishing.

So when it comes to South Korea, the Trump administration over-hyped and under-delivered. That's the administration's entire record on trade in microcosm.

We have kicked the can down the road for a long time on some of these issues with China.

Now, if the administration comes up with a coherent strategy that would result in more high-paying jobs here at home and greater access for American-made cars in markets overseas, I sure want to know about.

Virtually every Senator whom I talk to says they do not want NAFTA abolished, but they want it updated.

In the absence of real strategy and tangible wins on trade, perhaps it's time for the Congress to think about reclaiming that authority.

What the administration is delivering now is more chaos.

The steel tariffs seem to be increasing company profits, but not increasing wages for the workers.

Under the Constitution, it's the Congress that's in charge of trade and tariffs.

the worst it has ever been in the country's history.

It is trade policy dictated by early morning tweets and bluster, and it may end up costing jobs and doing more harm than good.

The approach I am in favor of is one that is based on concrete well-planned strategies that are actually going to create high-skill, high-wage auto manufacturing jobs and deliver for our workers.

It means uncertainty, which is what the whole theme of this activity is.

But in my view, the administration is delivering--and it's pretty much right out of their playbook--a lot more chaos.

the President believes he has the authority to impose auto tariffs because the Congress gave it to him.

In the absence of a real strategy and tangible wins on trade, perhaps it is time for the Congress to think about reclaiming this authority.

What we have seen is a textbook case of how trade policy has been enveloped in chaos.

I have tried to advise this administration that they do not have the authority to do this, that Article 1 says Congress has that kind of authority.
