I think what we need to do is, again, retain our current competitive tax rate and ensure that we do not step backwards.

What we need to avoid, Senator, is we need to avoid imposing tariffs that would end up causing retaliatory tariffs on our goods leaving the United States.

What can we do in the tax code that you see at this point to attract some of those suppliers to be able to come to the United States?

We need competitive economic policies here at home to grow domestic manufacturing, and we need trade agreements that are enforceable that enable us to reach other markets.

we are a year into the COVID epidemic--a year. If you think about it, this week a year ago, in Oklahoma City there was a basketball game going on between the Utah Jazz and the Oklahoma City Thunder. They were 2 minutes away from tip-off…

I have several questions to be able to go through with other folks here, but I am tracking through the Biden team that they have announced that they want the power sector to be 100 percent renewable by 2035.

Sometimes 2035 seems like a long way away unless you are doing capital projects and permitting and such and it is actually not that far away nor realistic.

in the middle of a pandemic, we shouldn't be dealing with abortion funding. So, I would say, pursuant to section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act, I move to waive. Vote on Motion to Waive The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on…

millions of Americans see a sonogram, and they see a child. They count 10 fingers. They count 10 toes. They watch that little girl in the womb suck her thumb. They see a child. Science notes that the DNA of that child in the womb is…

I have a parliamentary inquiry before I begin. Parliamentary inquiry: On page 225, line 23, it appears that the 7(b) disaster loan program allocates $460 million, but only $70 million is for the actual disaster loans. The other $390…

I call up my amendment No. 1031 and ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment by number. The legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Oklahoma [Mr. Lankford], for himself and…

Senator Scott, Senator Ernst, and I are not trying to ask for something that the American people aren't already asking for as well and, quite frankly, the Senate and this White House haven't already said that they wanted to be able to do…

So at least 20 more years?

We have to be able to resolve it. It is an embarrassment for us, as a Nation, on the world stage.

How many years do you think we will still have the internal combustion engine?

Senator Hassan and I have worked on trying to get to a solution on government shutdowns.

Energy independence, is that a national security issue or national preference issue, whether it is critical minerals, whatever it may be.

That is my concern, is that there seems to be a sense in some in DC, ...

last week we paused as a Congress to recognize half a million people who have died in the United States due to COVID. Unfortunately, that number is still climbing. Half a million. That is a lot of families that are affected. Those are a…

in 1932, 11 years after the Tulsa Race Massacre, Maxine Horner was born in Tulsa, OK. She was Maxine Cissel at the time. She grew up in segregated Greenwood, a district recovering from the devastating effects of the massacre, just a little…

There are folks in Oklahoma right now who are working on the wheat, and cotton, and beef, and pork, and chicken, and manufactured goods that are all headed out of the country, who are very dependent on what you do and how well you do your…

it is the end of February. Almost exactly a year ago, America was getting its first cases of COVID-19, and they were being reported in the media. We were learning about it but didn't know much at that point. We knew it spread across China…

You cannot require someone to say something they disagree with.

Yes, this conscience issue is really important. For a health-care provider who believes that a child is a child, whether they are in the womb or whether they are outside the womb, that is a child that God created and it has value and worth.

Like President Biden, I believe we must do all we can to lower the costs of prescription drugs and make them more accessible for Americans who depend on these medications.
