Thank you, Senator Blackburn. Another great mind that we benefit from in the Senate is our friend and colleague, the junior Senator from Florida. Before he became the Senator from Florida, Senator Scott was previously Governor Scott, a Governor of one of the most heavily populated States in America. And prior to that, he was famous in the business world, personally employing hundreds of thousands of people. So the Department of Homeland Security is an enormous organization. Nobody understands how best to run an enormous organization and to do so with exceptional skill better than Senator Scott, and nobody understands better than him how the buck stops with the person running that organization. We would love to hear from him now.
