00:00Just a moment on Senator Booker.
00:02Yesterday, my good friend, Senator Cory Booker,
00:05delivered the longest address in the history of the Senate to lay the case of Republican cruelty for all the American people to see.
00:14And as important as the length of Senator Booker's speech was,
00:19and it was phenomenal, the stamina, the preparation, the focus he showed by speaking for 25 hours was amazing enough.
00:27But just as amazing was what he said.
00:30He shined a light on the terrible dangers the Trump administration poses to the country we love.
00:37I thank him for his brilliance, for his moral clarity, for his inextinguishable passion.
00:45It was a speech for the ages. It will be long remembered not only here in the Senate, but throughout America.
00:52It was a tour de force like we rarely see here.
00:56Senator Booker, I thank you. Our Senate thanks you. But most of all, the American people thank you.
