And I'm so happy hearing back from people that we spoke of and read their words on the Senate floor to hear now back from many of those folks and others about how meaningful it was. Then instead of a bunch of what they think of as just legislative processes going on, that the voices of Americans, that somebody found a way to break through with them.

We need to do more things that show people that we're centering their struggle and that we're going to fight for them and that we actually have ideas now, once people feel like we are fighting for them, that are so much better than the bankrupt ideas of this president who just wants to, again, give outrageously great tax cuts to the wealthiest people who've already done so well in this last quarter century by taking away fundamental programs from the very people we're talking about.

I just want to say, again, as a guy who is a bit of a policy nerd and who fought to get things into the agenda of the Senate and the president, like me, Bennett and Brown on the Senate side, some great House leaders as well. But we lobbied before he swore his oath of office to include an expansion of the child tax credit. Talk about a populist idea.

It is the largest middle class tax cut in my lifetime. Between 80 and 90 percent of New Jerseyans got thousands of dollars more than It cut child poverty almost in half and had profound impact. We were one vote from making it short. That's a real delivered policy. When you talk about crime, my mind's going to explode.

In fact, I think I'm the only person in the United States Senate that lives in a community, number one, that's at or below the poverty line, that has shootings in my neighborhood, had somebody shot at the top of my block. And, you know, if you polled my city after George Floyd and said, do you want more police, less police or the same amount of police?

You would have probably gotten 80 percent of Newarkers to say we want more police. Now, we don't want them violating our rights, but we clearly need more safety and security. And the Biden administration, most people don't know this. Put more money. Our listeners know it. Yeah. Put more. Donald Trump is defunding police right now.

You talk about what's going on in the ATF, the very people that are supposed to be enforcing our gun laws. Donald Trump is the defunder. Joe Biden put more money, and again, I say Joe Biden, credit to the Senate Democrats, House Democrats. We put more money into programs like the COPS program, burn JAG money over and over and over again.
