Like, hey, I can get fired from a job in Cincinnati and then apply for a job in Patterson, New Jersey.

And Patterson, New Jersey has no way of knowing that. That I was fired for police misconduct or was encouraged to leave. And so there are common sense things we can do to make policing better. Most of the major police organizations know that and support that. Donald Trump's own executive order that put limitations on no-knock warrants and chokeholds and the like, this is a false argument.

There's nobody in the Senate that was calling for defunding the police. Everybody, every Democrat in the Senate has a record for increasing funding towards local policing.

communicating authentically that connected with people's heads as well as their hearts and making people understand that we are fighting for them. As I've watched for my 12 years in the Senate, when we get into these scrums and are talking about like tax extenders, it's like, boring policy stuff.

I'm new in the Senate. Harry Reid puts on the board, this column, the tax extenders and we're fighting for and the tax extenders that they were fighting for. And this is a negotiation Harry Reid was talking about.

And she goes, oh, Corey, that's allowing corporations to get a bigger tax cut for, you know, when they offshore this and this. And she started, she's a really smart person and been in the Senate.
