This MSNBC transcript documents Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech on the Senate floor. The video captures the immediate aftermath, including reactions to his 25-hour and four-minute address, which surpassed a previous record held by a segregationist. Booker’s purpose was to disrupt the Senate’s normal business and highlight what he considered a national crisis, referencing the advice of civil rights icon John Lewis to get into “good trouble.” He aimed to bring attention to critical issues, encourage citizen engagement, and inspire action against policies he strongly opposed, sharing that his motivation stemmed from the demands and concerns of his constituents.
