Cory Booker

in the 1980s, 90s, when I was coming out of college. And what has Trump done in 100 days?

Is he's declared a cultural revolution of his own, attacking universities, attacking folks that are on the frontiers of science and research, putting them on their defensive, cutting them billions of dollars, making them in a situation where they are stopping research or stopping an inflow of the world's best researchers.

Cannot say in the world of Trump, like he's losing his ability to surprise me when people ask me about his talking about a third term or deporting American citizens to a gulag in El Salvador. I mean, these outrageous things he's said, I've come to expect them and believe him when he says these things. So I don't know if there's surprise. There's been a lot of profound disappointment there.

I know my Republican colleagues in the Senate and some in the House. I know their core values. I listen to them as everything from the signal gate and the problems with Hegseth all the way to just cutting. bipartisan-approved investments in things like science, in some of the bipartisan bills that we pass that deal with gun violence, bipartisan investments in health innovations.

I know privately from conversations how much they object to these things. And I guess right now where my heartbreak lies is that so far you've seen scant few people willing to step up and risk because there is a reality of people who did stand up, did speak out, who are no longer in Congress.

One of the reasons why politicians don't act is because the demand from the people is not enough yet. And so as much as we want to point a finger people who are elected to positions, which is justified. I also want to ask a lot of other powerful people in this country who are remaining silent.

We've seen what many corporate leaders are doing right now, which is instead of speaking up and speaking truth, they're kowtowing for their own private deals. In a tariff regime, do you go and say, hey, please exclude electronics? Or do you go and say, this is fundamentally wrong? You are hurting the economy.

And I may face some backlash for this, but when they look back at this moment in history, I'm going to be one of those leaders in our country, whatever the sector is, from the faith community to the business community to the nonprofit community to the foundation community. When are more Americans going to speak up?
