Well, I just wonder what you think of the president's comment then, Senator.

What does he mean by softer touch?

Senator, I'd like to ask you about an important hearing that you held today with regard to autonomous driving and a piece of legislation that you're pursuing to do away with the patchwork of rules on the state level and actually come up with a national framework.

We heard from Mauricio Pena, an executive at Waymo, the Alphabet-owned autonomous driving company.

Here's what we heard.

Were you compelled by the presentations today from Waymo and from Tesla, Senator?

Would you get into a self-driving car tonight?

Senator, I just have to ask you quickly, I'm getting the hook here, but can you tell us about the Rotor Act following the collision outside of DCA?

We understand that you've received a promise to get a vote on the House floor.

Before we say goodnight, is that going to happen?

Let us know when you get a timeline on that, Senator.

Thank you for joining us.

Ted Cruz, the Republican from Texas, live on Bloomberg.

Joining us now for more is Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee.

Senator, it's always a pleasure to have you on Bloomberg TV and radio.

This is obviously one of those days where we need to compare notes with you here.

And I will note the fact that you delivered an important address earlier today at the National Press Club.

It wasn't about Jay Powell.

It was about the future of the Democrat Party.

And I know affordability and the economy were key components there.
