I appreciate you coming to my district in August to hear from my constituents, especially small businesses and financial institutions.

we would urge the Administration to use that Presidential drawdown authority.

Energy has geopolitical consequences and when the Administration asks Congress for assistance but is working at cross purposes with energy policy it makes it harder for us to support the Administration's request.

My point is this: Why is the Biden Administration greenlighting billions of dollars that fund Moscow's war in Ukraine, even as you ask Congress to provide supplemental budget funding for Ukraine?

As of now, we are in complete compliance, we believe in the Executive Order with regard to private prisons.

We need to reduce those barriers.

When you ask us for money to support the----Ukraine assistance, we need to shut down the financing to Moscow.

We are still working with the districts to make sure that we inspections, that we are still taking full responsibility for the treatment of our detainees.

All right. A lot of votes up here--win or lose--don't change things. I do predict that this vote is transforming things. People have asked whether or not there is dissension on the Republican side. I think there is a great deal of…

All right. So one of the proposals I have had--I think it is a modest proposal and you would think it would be a no-brainer and should have been adopted unanimously, and that is to have an inspector general oversee the money. We have been…

open the champagne, pop the cork, the Senate Democrat leader and the Republican leader are on their way to Kyiv. They have got $60 billion they are bringing. I don't know if it will be cash in pallets, but they are taking your money to…

what we have here is a ``Ukraine First'' bill. This bill was never really about securing our border but about securing another country's border. What we have here is a failure of the elites of Washington on both sides of the aisle--the…

often the titles of bills before the legislature don't really represent what the bill stands for. The title of this bill should say ``Ukraine First, America Last'' because that is what this is really about. Now, bills in the legislature…

Good. Lots of time. I am just getting started. Madam President, as we look at these things and try to make these decisions, it really is about having a government that sets priorities, and I can't emphasize enough how different it is from…

This filibuster now enters its fifth day. For many people across America, they may not understand the Byzantine rules of the Senate, but they allow for sufficient debate on important questions. Often the rules of the Senate are…

We have tried price controls in general here. We did in the 1970's under a Republican President, under Nixon. It was a disaster.

We should be celebrating that instead of castigating people and telling them how to run their business.

You don't get this under socialism because there is no profit under socialism.
