Sen. Mike Lee

Instead, take pot shots from the cheap seats and say, we don't want to do it.

But the American people feel differently, and we ought to do this.

The American people are with us on this, Glenn.

It doesn't come this way very often.

These ships don't pass this way very often.

Where we've got the House, we've got the Senate, we've got the White House, and we've got 85% of the American people on our side, only congressional Democrats and a few miscellaneous others are against this.

So let's take advantage of it.

And don't let these people hide in silence and secrecy and not even identify themselves, much less articulate their reasons for not wanting to do it.

This is absurd.

Yeah, because we're addicted to comfort.

We're addicted to convenience.

We meaning the Senate as an institution.

We've gotten so accustomed to predictability.

And ease and comfort and being able to plan ahead and saying, well, I want to be on this city on this day.

I want to give a speech here on that day.

Sometimes you have to do things in this job that are difficult.

Sometimes you have to take a lot of votes.

Sometimes you have to give a lot of speeches.

Sometimes you have to devote a lot of time at inconvenient times in order to do things before you run out of time.

We're about to run out of time.
