I think the ayatollah will eventually acquire a nuclear weapon unless somebody stops him.
Donald Trump continues to show hourly that he is ill prepared to be commander in-chief.
To anybody who suggests that John and his fellow POWs are somehow lacking in the title of being called American hero, you shouldn't be our commander-in-chief because you don't know our military.
They are going to put in it their war machine. This is a death sentence for the state of Israel if this does not change.
What I think he is doing is being a demagogue. I think he is uninformed about the situation regarding the illegal immigrant population. I think he has hijacked the debate. I think he is a wrecking ball for the future of the Republican…
On rollcall No. 426, had I been present, I would have voted ``no''. Personal Explanation
Today I rise to honor the late Bernyce Clausel, who passed away at the age of 98 last week. She was a civil rights leader in Tallahassee who participated in the bus boycotts of 1956. She was a devout Christian who, with her husband…
as I speak, Secretary Kerry is on his way to Geneva to try to conclude nuclear negotiations with the Iranian regime. To Secretary Kerry: I urge you to suspend negotiations until we clear up two matters. No. 1, the Supreme Leader Ayatollah…
I have two very brief comments. One involves our national security and the world at large and the other involves our Nation as a whole. First, as to the Supreme Court ruling. I am surprised. I am disappointed. But the ruling is now in…
I want to recognize Senator Scott. We all know Senator Scott is a man of quiet faith. He does it when no one is looking, by the way. I remember being in the cloakroom watching a basketball game, which is consistent with me, and the Senator…
I ask unanimous consent that the votes following the first vote in the series be 10 minutes in length. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
In the worst of tragedies, we have seen the best of South Carolina. Today, I am urging that the Confederate battle flag be removed from state house grounds to an appropriate location.
At the end of the day, it is time for the people in South Carolina to revisit that decision, it would be fine with me, but this is part of who we are. The flag represents, to some people, a Civil War, and that was the symbol of one side…
At the end of the day, it's time for the people in South Carolina to revisit that decision, would be fine with me.
Absolutely. Mr. McCAIN. Is it my understanding from the Senator's statement that Secretary Kerry is now saying that was not an accurate quote of his----
I wish to inform the body that I had a very good conversation with Secretary Kerry just a few minutes ago. Many of you may have been following the news. There was a statement attributed to Secretary Kerry that the possible military…
I ask unanimous consent to speak for 10 minutes as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Nuclear Agreement with Iran
Yes. Mr. McCAIN. That it was not urgent that the previous activities concerning the development of nuclear weapons would be absolutely required?
Yes. He indicated that the statement that was attributed to him was taken out of context, and he reaffirmed to me on the phone that possible military dimensions are an essential part of the deal, as he indicated on April 8, 2015. I think…
No, I did not. We talked specifically about his statements. But I understand the concern of the Senator from Arizona about the idea of doing an agreement with the Iranians that would give them money to fund what I think has been a very…
I strongly oppose this effort. If you care about our military commanders, listen to them. Every one of them opposes this. If my colleagues believe that the military legal community knows what they are talking about, listen to them. Every…
very briefly. Senators Ayotte and Kirk's amendment is coming up. There will be a motion to table. What we are trying to do is basically show support for the Ex-Im Bank, which is due to expire in June. We are trying to find a vehicle, a…
