The world is literally on fire.

This budget in 2025 will be 3.2 percent.

this budget is not only inadequate, it puts us on a pathway to reduce our capabilities.

Our ability to deter bad actors has completely gone away.

I've never seen this many threats at once.

When you're $34 trillion in debt, you need to be thinking about the American people, just not allies. So, I think the loan is the way to get the aid to Ukraine.

Biden has screwed the world up every way you can: broken borders, the world's on fire.

If you want to get the world back in order, you'd better vote for Trump.

You cannot allow Hamas to stay in power. You can't allow them to have six brigades to do October the 7th again.

President Trump believes it's non negotiable when it comes to Hamas. They have to be destroyed militarily. They can't be in charge.

I can't imagine any member of Congress would object to trying to get our allies to pay us back when we're $34 trillion in debt if they can.

I think the goal is to make sure American data that TikTok collects doesn't fall in the hands of the Communist Chinese Party.

If there's ever an election in the history of America that deserves debate between the two candidates, it's this election.

This is America First in action. It's not isolationism, but it is considering the needs of the American people.

If you think Joe Biden's policies lack a deterrence and he's weak in the eyes of our enemies, you're right.

I believe we have 15 minutes, and just for the order of battle here, I would like to recognize Senators Grassley, Cornyn, and Hawley to make some brief remarks. I will make some brief remarks, and we will make a unanimous consent for the…

Before I turn it over to Senator Durbin and the Senator speaks, Senator Durbin has been terrific. The committee worked together to get these bills passed unanimously. Thank you for your leadership.

to my colleagues, thank you for coming down. I really appreciate it. Senator Durbin, you have been a great partner on this journey. We have some victims groups, and we are going to keep doing this until we get the result we think America…

we will be back. We will work with Senator Booker. We have tried in committee. Senator Wyden will keep talking, but I think 21 of us are pretty determined that there be some consumer protection laws in this space on the books this year. I…

We have one more. And I will just respond that I will take you up on your offer. You are a good friend and a good man. The bottom line is, there are 21 of us on the committee from every corner of the political spectrum, and we are not…

Very quickly, and I will move to CSAM, Senator Durbin's bill. There is nothing in this bill about encryption. We say that this is not an encryption bill. The bill, as written, explicitly prohibits courts from treating encryption as an…

I just want to say that Senator Klobuchar has been tenacious in trying to find common ground and in bringing people together but also in getting a result. Senator Hawley will be next. Then I will wrap it up and make the request. The…

I just want to say amen and now pass it to Senator Klobuchar. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Minnesota.

I see the chairman of the committee, Senator Durbin. Go anytime you like or, Senator Cornyn, if you want to go next, then we have Klobuchar and Hawley and myself. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Texas.

I want to act now on the border. I want to turn the aid package into a loan. That makes perfect sense to me.
