come back here to try to make a difference. i want to congratulate you on the difference you have made. now one of the questions i would ask you is why you re willing to leave a place with so much responsibility and background and capability to be willing to be the secretary of health and human services. thank you, senator. when i think about the mission of the department of health and human services, which is to improve the health, safety, and wellbeing of the american people, it s what i ve literally spent my life trying to do. and so to have the opportunity to participate if confirmed, to be to serve as the secretary of health and human services and to try to guide that organization in a direction that would further fulfill that mission, i can t think of anything more exciting for fulfilling. i think you have the background for doing that too, with the wide range of experience you had between the different practices and hospitals and then coming here and going through ....
how important this process is, to getting confirmation, as we saw what happened in 1986. more importantly, i think he took head on a lot of the critics and criticism of decisions that he s made and votes he s cast. and i thought in particular, with cory booker becoming historic, you saw the first sho for the 2020 democratic nomination for president. let s just put that on the table. certainly, that s part of the drama and theater of what he chose to do. but i also found it somewhat ironic that just in january of 2016, in legislation that he co-sponsored with mr. sessions, that celebrated those who walked from walked the selma mile, if you will, that he referred to him as it was a great honor to work with him and that he appreciated his commitment to civil rights. and yet now sees him as he referred to him as a danger with danger to our country, as he s been quoted to say. the politics is not lost here. i think everyone in this town understands that. and to have this stag ....
