And so when the first lady said she was coming, I reached out and invited both of them and invited Brett Guthrie, who is the committee chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which is the committee that has jurisdiction over this. It's the equivalent of the Senate Commerce Committee that I'm the chairman of. And Brett's a friend as well. He and I have had dinner.

Yeah, and it makes the chances. I think it's a certainty now the House will take it up. As I said, the Speaker and the Majority Leader both committed to doing that and doing so quickly. And the President and First Lady engaging just raises it on the priority list. So that's really good. Elliston was there, another teenage girl, Francesca Mani, who's from New Jersey. She's the same age, 15.

She had the same month this happened to Elliston in Texas, the identical thing happened to Francesca in New Jersey. They had the exact same experience. And both Elliston and Francesca, I've had testify at a field hearing I did on the Take It Down Act that I held in Dallas, and they both testified there. And these are two young ladies – who were really, really effective.

Francesca was featured in 60 Minutes. She's really powerful. Ellison and I did Good Morning America together, and she told her story there. And I got to tell you, she's so articulate that the Good Morning America hosts were laughing and saying that Ellison was coming for their jobs. And I think that's right. Here, listen to Ellison telling a little bit of her story in her own voice.

It is really powerful, and I'll tell you, we had multiple victims testify, and sometimes the consequences of this are even worse. And so I want you to give a listen to the testimony of Brandon Guffey at the roundtable describing what happened with his son.
