The American people want sovereignty protected here in America before we spend our funds and resources protecting the sovereignty of another nation.

In whatever role I hold going – going forward, it's going to be advancing the positions that President Trump has articulated that the American people overwhelmingly supported.

But we need to stop this.

I think President Trump will find a way to deal with this. I'm not going to get ahead of him.

I will just say this. I was privileged to have a tremendous career in business, but one of the greatest honors in my life was to represent the United States, the greatest country in the world, in President Trump's administration overseas.

What it means is that we need to take a very deliberate focus on America first.

President Trump will find a way to deal with this. I'm not going to get ahead of him.

I think the message should be that our allies can and should step up to the extent possible to strengthen their own capabilities.

I'm certain that he's going to find a way to navigate this that's in the interest of the American people and will stop the carnage.

The reason is that Russia has been fully funded because of the policies that allow them to sell energy.

The American people want to focus on fixing our problems here.

Oh, I think this is a presidency that has a mandate like we haven't seen, as you mentioned, in 36 years.

President Trump was able to deliver peace through strength.

We need to focus on our own issues first.

It's going to be advancing the positions that President Trump has articulated that the American people overwhelmingly supported.

I think the environment has totally changed. They've announced they'd like to see peace.

I will do that in whatever role necessary, but we are going to see America strong again.

The American public has spoken loud and clear. And I think if you go back to your interview with Bob, there are a number of places where Washington has been out of touch with the American people.

I think it's become complicated because America has not been standing in a position of strength.

President Trump is certainly going to uphold U.S. law, but he is also going to make certain that our allies are properly cared for and that our adversaries are dealt with accordingly.

I object. Reserving the right to object, this summer, several of us made clear that, given the unprecedented lawfare by the Biden-Harris administration against President Trump, we will not consent to fast-tracking any judicial nominees…

reserving the right to object, these are Biden-Harris Department of Justice nominees. What is the Biden- Harris Department of Justice focused on right now? Multiple prosecutions of former President Donald J. Trump. Never before in history…

Reserving the right to object, Madam President, I want to thank my colleagues from Missouri, from Alabama, and my colleague from Ohio who has led this effort. For the reasons I stated earlier, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection…

If the Senator from Illinois would allow, I would just like to respond to two points regarding the politicization of the Justice Department. One of them is the fact that Mr. Colangelo from the Department of Justice was moved to the State…

I asked him repeatedly, and repeatedly he declined to make that guarantee.
