00:00Thank you, Mr. President.

00:04Mr. President, I'd ask that my subsequent remarks

00:08be treated as separate in the

00:12record from what I just said. Without objection.

00:16Thank you, Mr. President. I just want to thank my colleague from Iowa very much,

00:20Mr. Chairman, for your acknowledging the horrific

00:24terrorist act in Boulder yesterday.

00:28And I will be out here later with my colleague, Senator

00:32Hickenlooper, to talk about it at greater length. But people

00:36were there week after week after week to mark

00:40the horrendous hostage taking that's occurred

00:44in Gaza and

00:48that Hamas has refused to address. Hostages

00:52Hamas, only Hamas can release. This war could

00:56end tomorrow if Hamas

00:58released the hostages.

01:00People all over this country and all over

01:02the world

01:04have marched in solidarity

01:06for our hostages.

01:08And yesterday, the people in Boulder,

01:10Colorado were savagely

01:12attacked by a terrorist while

01:14they were expressing their First Amendment

01:16rights. That should never

01:18happen in this country.

01:20And again, I thank

01:22the chairman,

01:24my colleague, and my friend from Iowa

01:26for

01:28coming to the floor to discuss that today.

01:30Thank you, Mr. President. I yield the floor

01:32and I suggest the absence of a quorum.

01:34So

01:35I

01:36believe

01:37I

01:38have a
