Why don't you invoke the Defense Production Act?

Well, his attacks don't phase me, Anderson. I'm trying to get something done.

They need to get the relief bill done.

Yesterday, we asked for the president to use something left over from the Korean War of the 1950s called the Defense Production Act, which allows us to use the military to both create things and build things, like hospital beds and…

We need to make sure that everybody who has this illness gets treatment for free, basically.

We need to make sure that the money for the people, for the unemployed, for the hospitals, comes from the federal government. We're the only place that can do that.

If there are going to be some of these corporate bailouts, we need to make sure workers and labor come first. That people are not laid off. That people's salaries are not cut.

We want to say anyone who loses his or her job because of this crisis will get paid fully by the federal government.

As we heard earlier, Chuck Schumer stood on the steps of the Supreme Court on March 4, 2020, and threatened Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, prompting a rare public response from the Chief Justice who called the remarks 'inappropriate and…

I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.

Mr. Chief Justice, I send an amendment to the desk to subpoena Mulvaney, Bolton, Duffey, Blair, and the White House, OMB, DOD, and State Department documents, and I ask that it be read. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The clerk will report…

Mr. Chief Justice, I have a parliamentary inquiry. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The Democratic leader will state the inquiry.

No witnesses, no documents. In an impeachment trial is a perfidy, it's a grand tragedy.

Mr. Leader, let me just add my thanks and gratitude from all of us. It is rare, particularly these days, when 100 Senators from both sides of the aisle, of every political persuasion, get up and give someone a standing ovation, but you…

Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice. I send an amendment to the desk to provide for a vote of the Senate on any motion to subpoena witnesses or documents after the question period, and I waive its reading. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Is there any…

Mr. Chief Justice. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The Democratic leader is recognized. Amendment No. 1289

Mr. Chief Justice. The CHIEF JUSTICE. The Democratic leader is recognized. Amendment No. 1288

When you think about it, it's the first time they've probably heard the whole narrative of what's happened.
