“I spent much of this week doing sports radio, sports tv, doing interviews with Sports Illustrated, espn, Stephen A. Smith, and talking about college sports.

Maria Cantwell is a Democrat from Washington state. I'm the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. Maria is the ranking member, the senior Democrat on the Senate Commerce Committee.” (09:48–09:56)
