Thank you, Mr. President. We yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kansas. Haskell Indian Nations University

Just a final comment, just so the folks can see our ties, because I really want to commend you on your outstanding choice of the green and yellow NDSU--North Dakota State University--tie. I have the weak version of the tie, Mr. President…

So we weren't there, but we would have loved to have been there. Bison Nation really supports this team, and you can't do it without that kind of fan base, although I have to tell you that the Montana State Bobcats were there in force…

To say it was a great visit would be an understatement. I mean, it was unbelievable. The President took time to talk to all of the football players, and he had them come to the Oval Office, and I think he had a great time. It was a great…

I am going to do what I do so well and so often and agree with John Hoeven. How is that?

One of the high schools in Fargo is called Fargo South. Maybe that is how it got started. But we love Frisco. We love Frisco, TX. Having won 10 championships there may have something to do with it, but it is a marvelous place. Here they…

I rise today, along with my colleague from North Dakota, Senator Kevin Cramer, to honor the 2024 NCAA FCS national champions, the North Dakota State University Bison--and, yes, it is pronounced ``buy-zuhn.'' Anyone from Bison Nation, which…

He really is. He knows about our Bison team and, of course, about everybody else's team too. He knows his sports. It was a hard-fought game. I have to say it was a hard-fought game. We played a truly worthy opponent, the Montana State…

I am going to make some comments in regard to the energy policy for the United States. But, first, I would like to make a couple of comments, starting with commenting in regard to my good friend and colleague from West Virginia Senator…

I come to the floor today to talk about the National Defense Authorization Act. The act that is called the NDAA covers a wide range of topics, but, overall, it helps us chart a course to defend our country during these very dangerous…

it is a great honor for me to be able to speak tonight about my good friend and fellow North Dakotan Governor Doug Burgum. On November 15, President Trump announced his choice of Governor Doug Burgum to serve as Secretary of the Department…

I spent 10 years of my life in courtrooms, and there is one thing I learned pretty quick when you are doing a closing argument: everything before you has been said and has been said better than you could ever say. First of all, if I said…

Well, I don't think there's much question that the tolerance for certain things has changed, but I would say in many respects grace abounds all the more and I think that's not such a bad thing.

Of course, it's concerning, but I look forward to visiting with Pete about it, and seeing -- I'm interested in who Pete Hegseth is today and who he is going forward.

I’m interested in who Pete Hegseth is today and who he is going forward.

2 weeks ago, President Trump was reelected, and the Senate Republicans reclaimed the Senate majority. As we prepare for the 119th Congress, I join my colleagues today to discuss Republican solutions to the challenges our Nation faces…

I know enough people that were hell no in the in the conference and you know, the path would have been very, very difficult.

Oh, I do, but more importantly, I want the Judiciary Committee to be able to see it prior to the hearings.
