and continue to work on other things. but i think that it s still a problem can i say something i m sorry to interrupt yeah you bring up joshua holt. joshua holt had been held hostage. when president trump did the whole thing about mia love showed me no love, bye-bye, he mentioned how you worked together on a hostage right. it was almost as though i helped her with an american hostage, therefore she should have done x, y, or z, shown more appreciation which i thought was bizarre just because it s his job and your job to help save americans. well, i know what my job is. and i have to tell you that i have no regrets. i have no regrets because joshua s home. i think every american out there should know that not just their president but their representative also will not forget them. will not leave them abandoned. and that is that is my job. i wasn t looking for a thank you from the holt family. i was doing what i felt i would
and so that s where i want to get to. i want to get to the point where we actually talk about real things, let s be open, frank, and honest about how we feel and about the policies and how they work for people and you who they don t work. one of the things you were talking about because i heard your speech earlier, you were talking about how there doesn t seem to be a home in the republican party right now for minority voters, republicans are not taking minority voters into their hearts and homes. this is not obviously a new criticism of the republican party. it s obviously one that yeah that you and tim scott and will herd and others don t subscribe to. but do you think it s gotten worse under president trump? i think i think we can do better. it s certainly it doesn t help to have the president attack somebody who is, you know, a member of the same party, especially, you know, we worked really well together and bringing joshua holt home. i was proud of that. that was
