2 years ago this month, things started shutting down due to COVID. We shut down the American economy; basically, 22 million people, all of a sudden, were unemployed. I think we learned a lot in the last 2 years, and if we have another…

there are 192 nations on the face of this globe. Not one of those 192 nations, including Ukraine, is a threat to Russia. Regardless, the Russian military is continuing to wage a full-scale war on the nation and the people of Ukraine. I am…

I come to the floor to ask a unanimous consent request, and I am going to state the reasons for that before I ask for the request. And I appreciate my friend from New Jersey coming over to help me at this particular time. So, today, the…

I would like to have just a short rebuttal. I thank my friend for his kind remarks about me as I know that he and I have worked together on a lot of pieces of legislation. I want to express my disappointment that my bill to extend fentanyl…

two things, and the first one is very short but something that is sorrowful that we have to talk about, Senator Feinstein losing her husband. Senator Feinstein is a friend of mine. You get very well acquainted with people when you work…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Free Speech

I have come to this floor before for the same subject, but I now come to express my concerns once again about the rise in crime in America. Now I want to express what that rise in crime means for everybody if we don't stop it. If we don't…

I come to the floor to give you an example of some of the hypocrisy that goes on in this town. On February 11, last week, Special Counsel Durham made another filing with respect to the case against Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann…

I am here today to take a moment and remember the tragedy that occurred 4 years ago at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. And I want to discuss some legislation that I have introduced that results from that. But remember…

I want to take a moment to recognize the life and memory of Dr. Donald Gurnett. Dr. Gurnett recently passed away following a lifetime of scientific curiosity and achievements. Dr. Gurnett studied, taught, and researched at the University…

last week, a member of the Biden administration was confused--very confused--why FOX News is talking all the time about crime. That person is the Press Secretary to President Biden, Ms. Psaki. She said Americans care more about what is…

Last February, Secretary Becerra went before our committee.

Unfortunately, this has not happened.

on another subject, I have come to this floor several times in recent months--maybe over the course of a couple of years--on my concerns about free speech on campus. There has been a lot said in opposition to reports of crackdown on speech…

today I pay tribute to a very dear friend who was welcomed home to the Lord last month in Davenport, IA, surrounded by his loving family. Mike Duffy was a pillar in his community, church, and profession. A born leader, Mike never met a…

this week, news reports made public a May 2019 subpoena from the Justice Department. That subpoena requested financial records relating to Hunter Biden as part of the Department's criminal investigation into his activities. Notably, that…

everybody knows that violent crime is rising in America. Killings of police are at a 20-year high, the world's worst record since 9/11. Homicides, carjacking, and retail crime are all very high. Criminals are pushing people in front of the…

to hear the other side talk--by ``the other side,'' I mean the Democrats--they would never dream of questioning our democratic process. So I want to take you back in history just a little ways to just before the 2020 election. Let's not…

Democrats have shamelessly alleged that a massive Federal takeover of elections is needed because of questions some Republicans raised after the 2020 election, so I come to the floor today to show that this whole argument predates the 2020…
