And that shouldn't exist. That's absurd. There's another Steve Cohen, the magician, and apparently he had something to do with the Tax Code when they took care of the other Steve Cohen.

Thank you, and I appreciate your leading this hour. Just last week, the President stood just behind where you're standing and addressed this Congress--bipartisan, bicameral, Senators and House Members--and laid out a plan to fix this…

We've got lots of warehouses. They're full of goods ready to go on Federal Express planes and service the rest of this Nation. It all starts in Memphis, Tennessee, and goes out from there.
