I want to applaud you and the Ranking Member for having this. And I would encourage us to do this every 90 days.

There's a technology failure at VA that really is creating real problems when the taxpayer dollars are there.

Well, it isn't happening right now. And I wonder--again, I hear that, but will that health information exchange--will I be able to, when I see a patient out in--like, in Spokane, Washington, that's going to go--you're beginning to get that…

The other reason that I think all of us have some angst--we're going to have a hearing later today on the disability exams by contract physicians that the VA can't account for.

what you have to have to make this implement and work correctly is that when a provider is sitting there at a computer screen--and I've been there--and you hit the blind canyon, you don't know where to go, you're stuck, you can't call…

Well, I've been warning VA groups when I go to see them that this is going to happen.

I think of the many concerns that I have about Trump, and his tax breaks for billionaires and he's trying to throw people off health insurance, this movement toward an authoritarian type society and support of authoritarians all over the…

I think if, in fact, it turns out what I believe to be true is that Khashoggi was killed by the Saudis, it requires some sanctions and it requires a fundamental rethinking of U.S./Saudi relations.

No, I don't think so. I mean, that's what he said yesterday. God knows what he will say tomorrow.

I thank the distinguished Senator from Hawaii for her comments. She has had a strong voice of reason and conscience throughout this whole debate. This is not a normal confirmation vote. I have now served in the Senate for 19 Supreme Court…
