I was listening to a talk show one day when a 13-year-old girl called in. She was confused. At that tender age, to put it mildly, she talked about how she had been walked all over by her peers and subjected to the exploitation of an older…

I appreciate this opportunity to certainly stand in support of our Second Amendment. This is an issue that has obviously been around for some time. With the recent very violent events that have stricken various communities around our…

today I would like to propose a thought experiment. Imagine if President Trump has been propelled into the White House with 300 electoral votes, having won mainly by the force of his personality, by calling BS on this town, and by his…

I thank the chairman for his efforts on better tax policy. The U.S. Congress owes the American people better tax policy than we currently have. We currently have so many temporary provisions that so many Americans are wondering and trying…

military forces should only be committed after the military and political objectives have been clearly defined.

Thank you, sir, and the Senator from New Mexico. Thank you for letting me get in. I know we don't have a lot of genuine open debates around here, so I want to be honest. This is a little bit awkward to delicately step onto the floor. I was…

I thank the Senator. I think we all know we need to do genuine health care reform sometime soon in the future because the reality is, the No. 1 driver of uninsurance in America is not preexisting medical conditions, although we all should…

I rise to speak about San Bernardino, about the decades-long fight that our free society faces, and about our dangerous unwillingness to tell the truth about the nature of this battle--about who our enemy is. We are at war. The American…
