There must be consequences when the Democrats break the rules.

Could you please stop your pattern of interrupting me repeatedly?

I would be happy to confirm these nominees in the following few minutes if the Senator from Illinois would simply express regret for what happened in the hearing that day.

I rise today to acknowledge and honor the 433rd Fighter Weapons Squadron, which began providing advanced instructor training to experienced F-15 pilots on January 3, 1978, as part of the USAF Fighter Weapons School. The 433rd Fighter…

I believe the Federal Government should be incentivizing private landowners and making voluntary conservation efforts.

I found that farmers and ranchers are some of the best stewards of our land.

I appreciate the remarks from the Senator of Illinois. I will invite him to make his unanimous consent request again. I do not intend to object further. And a voice vote is fine. ____________________

I reserve the right to object. The Senate is a special institution. It is a unique institution. James Madison said the Senate was the only truly innovative part of our Constitution. It remains the case today that our Senate is the only…

I would like to address the Chair with a question to the Senator from Illinois. I appreciate those comments. I would observe that since that day, we have not had a similar circumstance in which any Republican wishing to speak was cut off…

Partnerships between the Federal Government and the agricultural community are imperative to address species management and recovery.

I did not make any personal insult. I simply observed that, for 4 years under the Trump administration, we repeatedly took action on a bipartisan basis to try to stop Nord Stream 2. One of the reasons we didn't have a vote on amendments…

8 months--for 8 months any Senate Democrat could have stepped forward and demanded the President impose Nord Stream 2 sanctions. For 4 years--for 4 years--we stood together and cast votes--with 85 votes, 90 votes, or 95 votes--in defense…

Jerome Powell was a better choice for Federal Reserve Chair than Lael Brainard, but that alone is not a good enough reason to confirm Chairman Powell for a second term. Chairman Powell has presided over a series of failures at the Fed…

I encourage adoption of this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.

As I listened to the testimony about the bill today, I thought about all of the women that I was around growing up who were part of that war effort at home during World War II and the jobs that they did that were critical to the war…

I have no further speakers on my side, and I reserve the balance of my time.
