Eric Schmitt

I will just respond. I ask for 30 extra seconds. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?

Fifteen seconds. I would just say this: If that were true, maybe you have a good reason to vote against it. That is not true. According to Commerce and Approps, there is $110 million that won't be affected by any of that. So this is just…

I rise--maybe there are some discussions happening about amendments actually happening. I would hope in a Chamber that has historically been known as the world's most deliberative body that we can actually do that. I find it hard to…

I move to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 4366, with my amendment No. 1626. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Missouri [Mr. Schmitt] moves to…

I rise to talk about the very ill- advised plan that we have before us right now that puts Ukraine first and America last. Now, for the--I am going to say 25 people in the country that may have tuned in to the last time I was on this floor…

I rise to bring attention to the process which this body is considering, not just this massive spending bill but the way in which we have handled all the very limited business that has come before this Chamber this entire year. Before I do…

I rise today to lay out in somewhat abbreviated terms how exactly Joe Biden is responsible for the border crisis and what Americans would like to see. He alone, right now, can solve this issue. I think there has been a lot of discussion…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Missouri. 75th Anniversary of the Kansas City National Security Campus

I rise today in recognition of the Kansas City National Security Campus and the important role it plays in strategic deterrence on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. I stand here today at the desk of President Harry S. Truman. In 1946…

I rise to bring attention to the abject failures of the Biden administration 3 years on. Let's briefly recap the last 3 years from Joe Biden: executed a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that led to the death of 13 brave members of…

I ask unanimous consent that William Wallace, an intern in my office, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the Congress. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

By the way, I want to point out that intern, William Wallace, should not be confused with the William Wallace in ``Braveheart.'' Centuries apart, but same fighting spirit, so we are happy to have him. ____________________

I rise today to speak on an issue. I spoke about this on the floor, but the issue, once again, came to a head last week with another continuing resolution, another effort to sort of just kick this can down the road, and our inability, as a…

I rise to bring this body's attention to 13 extraordinary Missourians who truly embody the best that our great State has to offer. They represent the inaugural class of my office's new Champions of Missouri Program, which seeks to identify…

Thank you, Mr. President, and thank you, Senator. Secretary Mayorkas has utterly failed to secure the border, and we are less safe because of it. Every State is now a border State, and crime and deadly drugs are flowing into our…

I rise today to honor Mrs. Sue Ellen Ball of Houston, MO, for her retirement from the Senate after 20 years of dedicated service. Sue Ellen is best known for her tireless advocacy for the veterans in Missouri needing assistance to access…

I stand in solidarity with my colleagues on separating these issues. I think the American people think that is what we do here. I think the American people think we actually have an appropriations process where we have individual bills…

the Biden administration is constantly trying to sell Americans that the economy is improving. They offer miniscule morsels of improvement. The big picture shows an economy that is struggling mightily, and Americans are struggling along…

I rise today to bring attention to a problem that is plaguing our great country. Americans and the rest of the world woke up on October 7 to horrific scenes in Israel, and the ensuing news reports of Hamas's terrorist attack brought to…

I rise to speak of the world's most deliberative body. Maybe we were. Maybe we have been. Maybe we can be again. But right now we are not. This Chamber has spent exactly 0.0 minutes in the first 9\1/2\ months we have been here on…

I rise to honor a St. Louis great who, although he has thrown his last pitch for the St. Louis Cardinals, has left a lasting impression on Cardinal Nation. In 2003, the St. Louis Cardinals acquired Adam Wainwright, Ray King, and Jason…

I am here today to talk about my time back in the State in August. It was a great recess in the ``Show-Me'' State. To paraphrase one of our most famous Missourians, Mark Twain, when Congress is in session, no American is safe. So Americans…

I rise in support of this amendment, and I am proud to work with my colleague from Missouri and others in a bipartisan way to provide some relief to the people who have been affected by this. Here in Missouri, I can tell you--a couple…

Father's Day is coming up. Father's Day is this Sunday. As a dad--and, actually, my two daughters are coming into the Galleries right now--it is a time for reflection and for gratitude, quite frankly. I delivered my maiden speech earlier…

it is an honor to be here with all of you to give this maiden speech, and I want to thank the senior Senator from Missouri. We may be the youngest combo. He is younger than I, but he is the senior Senator. He reminds me of that quite often…
