Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they aren't. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Organ legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short weeks left for lawmakers to act, take action to protect kids like me at flavors.

Mr. President, the criticism that I've seen, and I'm sure you've seen regarding Elon Musk and your big beautiful bill, what's your reaction to that? Do you think it in any way hurts passage in the Senate, which of course, what is your seeking?

Well, look, you know, I've always liked Elon and it's always very surprised. You saw the words he had for me, the words and he hasn't said anything about me that's bad. I'd rather have him criticize me than the bill because the bill is incredible. It's the biggest cut in the history of our country. We've never cut, it's about 1.6 trillion in cuts. It's the biggest tax cut, tax, you would say people, people's taxes will go way down, but it's the biggest tax cut in history. We are doing things in that bill that are unbelievable. And would you look at what we're doing for small businesses, for people, for middle income people, all of the things that we're doing, nobody's ever seen anything like it. And you know, Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate and you know, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles and you know, they're having a hard time, the electric vehicles and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy. And you know, I, I, Elon knew this from the beginning. He knew it for a long time ago. That's been in there. That's been, I would say, J.D. that hasn't changed. That's been right from the beginning. Mr. I think, Mr. Secretary, that hasn't changed at all right from the beginning. But I know that it disturbed him. He wanted and rightfully, you know, he recommended somebody from that he, I guess knew very well. I'm sure he respected him. But to run NASA and I didn't think it was appropriate and he happened to be a Democrat, like totally Democrat. And I say, you know, look, we won, we get certain privileges and one of the privileges. We don't have to appoint a Democrat. NASA is very important. We have great people. General Kane is going to be picking somebody with our. We'll be, we'll be checking them out, seeing. But he wanted that person, a certain person, and we said no. And you know, I can understand why he's upset. Remember, he was here for a long time. You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval desk and even with the black guy. I said, you want a little makeup, we'll get you a little makeup. But he said, no, I don't think so. Which is interesting and very nice. He wants to be who he is. So you could make that statement too, I guess. Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we're well anymore. I was surprised because you were here. Everybody in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful. Sandov. He said wonderful things about me. You couldn't have nicer said the fascinate. He's worn the hat. Trump was right about everything. And I am right about the great big beautiful bill. We call it a great big beautiful bill because that's what it is. And again, biggest tax cuts in history, biggest economic development moves anywhere. We've never done anything like it. Business is spurred and I don't know if you've seen the numbers, but the numbers came out. Even the cbo, which is run by Democrats, said that we're going to be doing, you know, I'd like you to discuss it. The 2.8 billion, a trillion. That CBO. This is some. A group of people that are Democrats, they're very hostile to us. They just came out with phenomenal numbers. What it does. You want to mention that?
