Hydrogen is one of the simplest and most commonly occurring elements on earth.

We have talked about possibilities, but this panel knows extremely well how this conversation about hydrogen being the next thing has been the conversation for about 25 years.

The challenge becomes if someone has nefarious plans to be able to build something in, to be able to put something that then could be exploited.

Thank you very much. To the witnesses, thanks for being here and for the dialog.

I appreciate that, because again, we are trying to be able to determine long-term how long this has been around.

It is my understanding that this particular vulnerability, the Log4j, it has been around since 2013.

last weekend, I spent time down at the southwest border, an area the Presiding Officer is very familiar with. This time, I was in the Rio Grande Valley. The Rio Grande Valley area has the highest area of illegal crossings across our entire…

I guess I am one of those extreme Republicans that believe that a child who sucks their thumb, wiggles their toes and fingers, feels pain, has a beating heart, has a functioning nervous system, has DNA that is different than the mom or the…

to the Chair, we will as a nation process through this in the days ahead. This body has very strict laws that cover my State and many other States for a lot of other things. In my State, if you go to build a building in the southeast part…

in the last 6 years, Democrats have filibustered 589 bills and nominations--589. That was their right as the minority at the time. That right has been protected. It was their right to demand that their voice be heard, but it seems like…

I thank my friend, through the Chair, the Senator from Virginia, for the engagement. We will continue to be able to engage and be able to talk through this. Part of our challenge on dealing with this dialogue today is none of our side has…

If confirmed, I will work to ensure that we maintain our close relationship with Jamaican authorities and civil society groups aimed at reducing the level of violence and countering drug trafficking.

If confirmed, I will work hard to see that this collaboration between our countries continues to increase as we seek to reduce the flow of drugs that transit Jamaica and enter the United States.

we are in the same spot in the Senate we have been at five times before in the past 12 months. My Senate colleagues are bringing up a bill on voting to federalize our elections. This time is different. This time their demands have changed…

there are so many problems going on right now in the country. As I interact with people in Oklahoma, they are frustrated with where things are going with the economy. The rising inflation is literally inflation we have not seen for 40…

I think the most important thing that the United States needs, and other countries need to do with Taiwan, is to be signing economic agreements with them.

There's a real risk of that in the days ahead, and there are ways that we can continue to be able to stand with the people of Taiwan.

we have a problem in our Air National Guard right now. This body knows full well where I have been on vaccine mandates coming down from the President. I have adamantly opposed the vaccine mandates on private-sector employees, which I find…

I look forward to working with Senator Reed on this. He has been a good partner dealing with this. He is passionate about protecting our military and keeping our forces ready. I very much appreciate his partnership in that, and I look…

in reserving the right to object, here is my problem. Yesterday--and I mean yesterday--the Secretary of Defense released out a memorandum. The memorandum was about pay for National Guard members and the vaccine. We have National Guard…

There was a hard issue that came up last year that myself and several others were surprised at the way D.C. handled the issue of religious liberty.

tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments on a case out of Mississippi commonly known now as the Dobbs case. That case is all about a Mississippi law, where Mississippi passed a law…

In December of 1952 and again in December of 1953, the Supreme Court was packed. There were lines out into the hallway, with people waiting to get in to hear oral arguments. In December, the Court would hear arguments on the legality of…

I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The junior Senator from Oklahoma.

in reserving the right to object, this is an astounding thing. This is a conversation that has happened today about amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act. Now, I haven't been here very long, but, typically, an NDAA takes…
