   The people that I presented them to, including a number of (U.S) Congress representatives and senators, were very happy with them and when I visited Capitol Hill last January, they had them displayed in their offices, that will continue and people are very proud of that connection.

2. Sheldon Whitehouse:

   As you sit here, you enjoy the protection of the Capitol Police officers who are here and who defended our Capitol against the assault on Jan. 6, by the crowd that your organization helped recruit, do you have anything to say to them, particularly to those who were injured in the line of duty on that day?

4. Joel Goldstein:

   You can't be in the room at Obama White House if you have to be down at Capitol Hill to break a tie vote. You can't be traveling around the world to meet with leaders on the international stage, or you can't be traveling domestically, it can work havoc with the vice president's calendar.
