## Transcript

I wanna talk to the audience at home for a second. If you're eyes are glazing over like mine, this is what it's like to be on the floor of the United States Senate. I mean, endless debates about how many angels on the head of a pin from people who've never had to make a consequential decision in an executive position. The fact is, for seven years I had to make these decisions after 9 / 11. Make it decision about how to proceed forward with the investigation or how to pull back. Whether you use certain actionable intelligence or whether not to. And yet they continue to debate about this Bill and then the sub committee and what, nobody in America cares about that.

What they care about is, are we gonna have a President who actually knows what their doing to make these decisions. This is the difference between actually having been a federal prosecutor Actually doing something, and just spending your life as one of a hundredth debating it. Let's talk about how we do this not about which bill do each one of these guys likes more. [ SOUND ] The American people don't care about that. Thank you. [ APPLAUSE ]
