If I may, we keep talking about being at war. I have made 50-something trips to Afghanistan and Iraq. We are at war with a virus, not with radical Islam, and we need to destroy this virus before it destroys our economy and kills thousands…

If I may, I think the Senator is speaking for most Montanans. I know he is speaking for South Carolinians. Let's go back to the 14,000 people in Montana who are on unemployment. I don't know what kind of spike that is. I have been to…

I ask unanimous consent to enter into a colloquy with my good friend Senator Daines from Montana. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

may I just add to what Mr. Cotton from Arkansas just said. It is dangerous. I think it is disgraceful. It is irresponsible, and it is not going to work. We are not going to do this. I think people on our side are willing to go big. For…

I wrap up by saying that Senator Paul is consistent. Every time he wants to pay for something, he comes to the foreign assistance account. I understand the argument: Why are we spending over there when we have problems here? That sounds…

I move to table the Paul amendment, and I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The question is on agreeing to the motion. The clerk will call the roll. The…

I ask unanimous consent that all debate time be considered expired. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Motion to Table

later in the day, I will be making a motion to table the Paul amendment that would require offsetting the $7.76 billion for the coronavirus against the foreign operations account. Senator Paul is at it again. He is consistent. I respect…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Braun). Without objection, it is so ordered. Coronavirus

I would like to again compliment you and Senator Shelby. You always deliver. You always seem to be able to do things that other people can't do at a time when we need you to deliver for the body and the country. Mr. President, I would like…

before Senator Sasse leaves, I say to the Senator, I just can't thank you enough for the passion and the persuasion you bring to these issues. You speak from the heart. You speak with reason. You make a lot of sense, and over time, you…

I'd like to see the Director of National Intelligence job 'go away'.

today I would like to rise in opposition to Senator Kaine's War Powers Resolution, S.J. Res. 68. I have had a longstanding opposition to the War Powers Act. I think it is an unconstitutional intrusion on the ability of any Commander in…

I got real concerns about overzealous prosecution, more than anything else.

Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man. He's a crime fighter. He's loyal to the President. He's a good lawyer.

let me just begin with a note of optimism. You are going to get to pick the next President, not a bunch of politicians driven by sour grapes. I don't say that lightly. I didn't vote for President Trump. I voted for somebody I wouldn't know…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk on behalf of myself and Senators Alexander, Cruz, Portman, Toomey, Sullivan, and Murkowski to the counsel for the President. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senator Graham…

I send a question to the desk on behalf of myself, Senators Cruz and Cornyn, for both parties. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. The question from Senators Graham, Cornyn, and Cruz is for both parties: When DOJ Inspector General Horowitz…

I send a question to the desk from myself and Senator Cruz. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Senator Graham and Senator Cruz pose this question for the House managers: In Mr. Schiff's hypothetical, if President Obama had evidence that Mitt Romney's son…

Here is where I am add on witnesses. I am ready to make my decision based on the record established in the House. The House chose not to pursue witnesses that were available to them. I don't want to start a precedent of just doing…

Lindsey Graham says that's exactly what the president should do, the president's team should do when they take the case on Saturday.

the ask for the investigation into the Bidens was appropriate.

I think that's what they meant by high crimes. Doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people you've committed a high crime.

I think they're overreacting, quite frankly. Go debate all you want to. I'm going to debate you. Trust me, I'm going to -- I'm going to let people know that at this moment in time, to play this game with the War Powers Act, which I think…

I find this whole idea that somehow the national security team did not have a good basis to hit this guy ridiculous.
