Senator for Wyoming · Republican · United States

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

“Mr. President, reserving the right to object, the message at the heart of these PSAs is a simple one: American values are worth defending against the failed ideologies of communism and socialism.”

Senate29 September 2026Source ↗

“When a Democratic President tells Americans what to do, it is a public service. When this President tells Americans that liberty is worth defending, it is suddenly a problem. A reminder that freedom beats communism and socialism is patriotic, and no Member of this body should be offended by it.”

  1. “When a Democratic President tells Americans what to do, it is a public service. When this President tells Americans that liberty is worth defending, it is suddenly a problem. A reminder that freedom beats communism and socialism is patriotic, and no Member of this body should be offended by it. If Senators want to debate how the government communicates with the public, let's do it the right way: through regular order, in committee, with hearings, and with one standard applied to every administration-- not by unanimous consent aimed at a single President's message. For these reasons, I object.”

  2. “Mr. President, reserving the right to object, the message at the heart of these PSAs is a simple one: American values are worth defending against the failed ideologies of communism and socialism. If that is what has the Senator from New Hampshire concerned, I would suggest the concern says more about her side of the aisle than it does about the PSA. Presidents of both parties have used public service announcements to speak directly to the American people for decades. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt did it in World War I and World War II. Bill Clinton launched a national anti-drug campaign. George W. Bush bought Super Bowl air time. Barack Obama promoted ObamaCare. Joe Biden ran PSAs on vaccinations. I don't recall a single Democrat rushing to the floor to object to any of them. The only difference I can find is the message.”

  39. “Today, this fight belongs to the whole body. President Trump gave more than anyone in this town expected--twice. It is time for this body to take yes for an answer, take the win. Stand with American innovation. Stand with American consumers. Stand with American leadership. Do not let this day be the day we handed our future to someone else because we were too afraid to finish what we started. Let's vote yes. Let's not only join the 21st-century economy, let's not only join the digital age, let's lead it. Let's define it. Let's make it work for America and the world. Let's vote yes. Let's get this done.”

  40. “Madam President, 635 pages, a full year of daily negotiations--daily, even on weekends--126 Democrat wins written into law, the strongest ethics restrictions any President has ever accepted, in writing, right here, this is what good faith looks like. This is what compromise looks like. And in a few minutes, my colleagues will decide whether or not it meant anything at all. I have given this fight everything I have from the moment I was sworn in as a U.S. Senator--and especially over the last year. For so long, this fight has been mine and that of my incredible partner and dear friend Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's and Chairman Scott's and Chairman Boozman's, Senator Tillis', Senator Moreno's, and many of my colleagues who have walked alongside me in this fight for this industry to bring us to this moment.”

  41. “The successful Wyoming blueprint is the foundation of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of today. This is not a partisan bill--not even close. Democrats secured 126 separate concessions in this text, and they wrote more than half of the 630 pages in front of you. This bill started at 300 pages. It stands at 635 because I sat across the table from my colleagues for an entire year and took every objection seriously and built those changes into the bill ourselves. That is not capitulation. That is what legislating in good faith looks like--something this body, far too often, forgets how to do. Nowhere--absolutely nowhere--have we given more than on ethics in this bill.”

  42. “In 2017, the Wyoming Legislature embarked on a mission to create a first-of-its-kind regulatory framework for digital assets that protects consumers and promotes responsible innovation. The Wyoming Legislature was the first legislative body in the United States to draw the line between a security and a commodity. It was the first to safely integrate digital assets into our Nation's banking system in a safe and sound way through special purpose depository institutions. And Wyoming was the first jurisdiction in the Nation to create a new legal entity for decentralized, unincorporated, nonprofit associations. A Wyoming special purpose depository institution was also the first depository institution in the history of our banking system to earn a master account from the Federal Reserve.”

  43. “Mr. President, in a few minutes, the Senate will vote on one of the most important, consequential, bipartisan financial services bill in a generation--the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. Before we do, my colleagues need to understand exactly what is at stake. I have spent every single day of the past year fighting to get the Clarity Act ready for prime time because Wyoming did not send me to Washington to watch America fall behind. My State sent me here to make sure we lead. Today, this body decides whether we keep that promise or sideline American leadership. Wyoming wrote the blueprint for regulating digital assets in the United States and, in many ways, the world.”
