Congressman John Larson represents Hartford, Connecticut, and he's an old guy, and I say that with

affection. He's in his mid-de-late 70s. He's held this seat in Congress from Connecticut for more than 25

years. And he may look familiar to you. He may not. He's not one of the more famous longtime members

of Congress. That said, if you have seen news about him recently

in the past few weeks, it was for a not good reason. There was worrying news about him just about

a month ago now. He was speaking on the House floor, and he froze up. He stopped speaking

suddenly and awkwardly, and then he seemed to really have a hard time starting up his speech again.

He just froze. It was clearly some kind of medical incident. It was definitely scary to see.

He did not pass out or anything. He went to the capital physician. They ran some tests on him.

His office says the conclusion was that they think basically he just had an adverse reaction to a new medication he had just started.

The good news is by later that day, he was back at his office, he was having regular meetings and was apparently okay.

But again, that health scare, that little point of alarm about Congressman John Larson,

that was only just about a month ago.

That said, here tonight, I'm happy to report that Congressman John Larson is definitely back

and at full strength.

He has been eating his proverbial weedies. He appears to be very hydrated,

very energized, and may I suggest you get out of his way? Watch this.

Men and woman on this committee are good people. They're honest and caring people.

And that's why I do not understand why you would relegate this committee to no longer being of significance.

And resort to saying you will do whatever Elon Musk and Donald Trump tell you to do.

Where's the independence of the committee? Where's the legislature? We're an equal branch of government.

And you start off with a blather, and yet look at the empty seats here, where's Elon Musk?
