Jim Inhofe

Thank you very much. Thank you. I appreciate that. It has been a tough time here. I would say that he has made my day

First, let me make a comment about the remarks from my friend from Nebraska. It happens that I was in Hong Kong when that happened, and I saw the people, knowing what was going to happen to them after all the promises that were made…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 10:46 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, July 2, 2020, at 10 a.m…

I want to thank all my colleagues and my partners, my partner Senator Reed, for working so hard today to come to an agreement. It has been a tough day. We think we have created a package that is acceptable to everyone and we will be…

I would respond by saying that I don't take issue with that, but I will say that we all remember what happened a year ago when this bill was up. One of our Members objected to all amendments coming up, and, as a result, no one got an…

If the Senator would yield for one more comment so I may address that, Senator Reed and I are both in agreement. We have been wanting amendments. We have been asking on a daily basis--now for about 2 months--for Members to bring their…

I have a request for one committee to meet during today's session of the Senate. It has the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following committee…

Again, I want to thank my personal staff, office staff, and floor staff. We need to pivot to our next task at hand: funding the Department of Defense. This puts financial resources behind all of the policies we just approved today. Our…

You know, we don't hear that very often. I just heard the term from the Senator from Nebraska ``under budget and ahead of schedule.'' You did something right. Good for you.

First of all, despite what some people might think, I have the highest regard for the Senator from Rhode Island. It is very interesting in that the climate is changing, and the climate has always changed. All evidence out there--all…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:14 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, June 27, 2019, at 9:30 a.m…

If we can amend that--after a period of 10 minutes, the two leaders and the ranking member be allowed to speak for such time as they shall consume. That would work.

For the information of all Senators, the Senate will vote on the confirmation of the Baranwal nomination at 1:45 p.m. tomorrow. ____________________

I have heard from other sources about Shannon Kent, to whom he is referring, and she is in fact an American hero. Everything he said about her is very true; however, everything he said about our President is not very true. Here we are…

As chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, it is our privilege to pay tribute to Daniel Glickstein as he prepares to leave his position as a detailee for the Senate Committee on Armed Services and return to his position as an…

The past hour and a half or so, I've offered compelling evidence that catastrophic global warming is a hoax.

The Federal formula program has worked. That is one of the few things in government that seems to be working.

$733 billion ought to be, as my colleague just said, a floor, not a ceiling as you all go forward in your deliberations.

The $733 billion that they're talking about right now is one that is somewhat in danger.

America's military superiority... has eroded, to a dangerous degree.

America is very near the point of strategic insolvency.

The Commission assesses unequivocally, that the NDS is not adequately resourced.

The Commission advises that we have a need for extraordinary urgency in addressing the crisis of national defense.

Sending our men and women into harm's way without the training, the equipment, and the resources they need to succeed is morally irresponsible.

America's fiscal problems must not be solved on the backs of our troops.
