“Operating on the ground and by air, this profession demands endurance, quick thinking, and extraordinary precision to get the job done. More often than not, success in getting the job done is measured by what never happens: a neighborhood that doesn't burn, a family that doesn't lose everything, a highway that remains open, a town that gets another chance. Those victories rarely make the evening news, but they matter just the same. With catastrophic wildfires burning in our Nation today, It's worth taking a moment to honor the brave men and women leading our Nation's wildland fire response. They are neighbors, parents, sons, daughters, veterans, and friends. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary work under extraordinary circumstances, and they deserve our recognition and thanks. ____________________”

“Mr. President, as our nation reaches the height of another fire season, it is my honor to pay tribute to our wildland and aerial firefighters. As we gather in the Senate today, wildland fire crews are working long days in difficult conditions across the country to protect resources, property, and their fellow Americans. As first responders, they don't get to choose when and where they are needed. One phone call can send them hundreds of miles from home for days or even weeks.”

“I carry that perspective into public service every day, and it is why the Montana Heritage Center was a project our family was proud to support. More than a decade in the making, the new Montana Heritage Center is an investment in preserving Montana's story and ensuring future generations understand the people, values, and events that shaped Montana. This world-class center reminds us that good policy is strengthened by historical perspective and an appreciation for the enduring principles that guide our Nation and Montana. The opening of the Montana Heritage Center would not have been possible without Molly and her staff, and they deserve every recognition for their efforts. ____________________”

“Mr. President, as we celebrate the 250th year of our country, it is my honor to recognize Molly Kruckenberg and the talented staff at the Montana Historical Society for their dedicated work to showcase Montana history at the state-of-the-art Montana Heritage Center in Helena, MT. History is more than a subject taught in school; it is a practical guide for leadership and decision making. The successes and failures of the generations that came before us offer valuable lessons to those willing to understand them.”

“So I encourage our colleagues on both sides of the aisle--whatever is politically convenient, whatever plays well on Twitter or Facebook--to think about the people who are deployed right now, standing on that wall with a loaded weapon, who have volunteered to defend our country and our way of life, because they are there defending us in a just war--because we did not start the war with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. They started it with us 47 years ago, and their attacks have gone unanswered for half a century. It is time to fix this problem and make sure another generation of Americans does not have to fight this murderous, savage adversary.”

“I can promise you, being someone overseas wearing the uniform, when you are fighting for your country, you don't care what party is in office, but you are fighting to defend your country. When you turn on the news and see your elected officials stabbing you in the back, telling you that you are failing, that you have failed every goal of the war is what I just heard--the last time I checked, we have wiped these bastards out. An occasional missile strike and boats in the strait--that is not military strength. Those are the flailings of a failing empire. Those are the flailings of a nation in collapse because they deserve it.”

“And not a single President has ever stood up to them. Love Donald Trump or hate him, love his policies, hate ICE, love ICE--whatever. There has never been a single President who has stood up to Iran and hit back. For 47 years, our troops and our families have been absorbing attack after attack after attack, all over the world. And their radical ideology does not stop at the Persian Gulf. It doesn't stop at Tel-Aviv. They want to do this everywhere. It is a global radical ideology, and we have been fighting it for half a century. We didn't start this war. We did not. But we will finish it. And forever wars are not popular with anybody these days. Both sides love to attack our forever wars.”

“That is what they do--from the 1983 barracks bombing where 280 marines were vaporized in the morning; from the USS Cole to the Achille Lauro; to every terrorist attack from the Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas. These are not humanitarian freedom organizations; they are death-dealing cults, and they want all of us to die brutal deaths. William Buckley was abducted in 1985, an American military officer. He was skinned alive on camera by the Iranians. American prisoners of war who were captured--they were never called prisoners of war because they were captured by lunatic terrorists, so they were not subject to the Geneva Convention. They were captured and murdered--power drills through their brains. This is in Iran. These are families that have dealt with this, and they have never gotten a single dime. These families have never gotten restitution.”

“They honor those people who do disgusting things that we would put in jail for the rest of their lives in this country, and they do it for fun. And they pay them money to do it, and they are heroes for that nation. They have done it to friends of mine. They have done it to families who have been in this Chamber. The fact that we sit here and listen to elected officials of this country defend these lunatics who want us all dead--they want all of you dead. They want all of us dead. They don't want us to disappear with the snap of a finger; they want us to be raped, burned alive, and cut into pieces. Watch the video from October 7. That is what they want to happen, from Maine to San Diego, from Seattle to Miami. They want this country turned into a burning husk of its former self. And you don't have to theorize that.”

“Mr. President, yesterday, we saw the President of the United States and many others at Dover Air Force Base presiding over a ceremony that is very sacred to those of us who served, and that is a dignified return of remains from the war zone. And that process happens beginning in the war zone, through Dover, to the hometown of our fallen heroes. I have participated in many of those ceremonies myself, to include carrying friends of mine off the plane. One of those is on this bracelet. He was cut in half by an Iranian BFD. This regime that we are fighting does not care about our partisan politics. They don't care who you voted for, who you pray to, or where you live. They want to kill all of us. They don't just say it; they actually do it. And they have been doing it for 47 years. This is a war of choice; the Democrats are correct.”

“This body knows that, and we will protect it. But we also owe those veterans a strong, efficient government. That is what we are going to deliver to them. That is what we are going to do today. Therefore, I object.”

“He is showing strength on the world stage instead of weakness, which has brought untold tragedy not just on our military but also on our allies around the world. Growing the government with no end in sight, growing Agencies with no metric for success is not pro-veteran. That is not pro-American. It is just more government. And the truth is, whether it is the VA or any other Federal Agency, we are proud to have veterans working in this government across the board. They have preferred hiring rights, as they should, and we are going to protect their important jobs and, most importantly, protect their care when they get out. But the VA has to be a healthy, functioning organization for that to occur, as do other Agencies. Veteran employment is a core value that we have in our Federal workforce. President Trump knows that.”

“And now, to recover our Nation from fiscal tragedy--from a $37 trillion debt and growing--we have to make hard choices, and those choices have to come down to what is working. And what veterans need most of all is a healthy government. They fought to protect this country. They have put their lives on the line and sometimes gave away limbs and family members so that this country could be strong. We owe it to them to make sure we make good decisions and that this country continues to be strong. And that means we have to get this government back in order, and that means returning our Agencies back to prepandemic size. And most veterans will support those tough decisions full-throatedly. The truth is, President Trump is very pro-veteran. His policies, right now, are putting our servicemembers first.”

“The truth is, the VA--the VA, as an organization--is meant to serve our veterans. The purpose of the VA is to take care of veterans, not to grow its own bureaucracy. In the last 5 years since 2019, the VA employment has gone from 379,000 to 486,000 employees, over 5 years--a 28 percent increase--while the VA's budget grew by 77.7 percent during the same period. During that time, the amount of veterans in our country decreased by 9.2 percent. So as our veteran population decreased, our employment overhead at the VA increased tremendously, and that reflected the similar growth across the rest of our Federal Government. So what was going on for 5 years, especially during the COVID years, was artificial job creation by the government on a mass scale.”

“But truth also matters, and the truth is there was no outrage from our Democrat colleagues when the Biden administration summarily fired tens of thousands of veterans--Active-Duty servicemembers and reservists--from Federal contracting jobs and from Active-Duty military service without any due process, during the COVID pandemic, when they decided that these people, who had very legitimate reservations about their personal health, did not have a place in our government or military, and they were blowing out the side of the service. No due process, not even a thank-you letter--they were kicked out of the service--highly trained patriots who fought for this country, who were willing to fight for this country again. That is betrayal. They were betrayed, and nothing was ever said from our Democratic colleagues about that.”

“Reserving the right to object, my colleague Senator Duckworth is a brave veteran of our Nation's War on Terror, and Senator Blumenthal as well served, as did many of us. And I don't think there is any disagreement that we want the absolute best for our veterans-- combat or otherwise--and we will always do everything we can in this body to make sure that our veterans not only have the care they need when they get home, but they can pursue great careers for the next phase of life.”
Senate9 April 2025Source ↗
“Mr. President, where was the Democrat outrage when 8,000 Active-Duty Reserve troops were unceremoniously and with no due process fired out of the military without benefits? Where was the outrage when thousands of first responders and police officers, firefighters, nurses, and doctors lost their employment because they had COVID vaccine hesitancy? There was no outrage, there was no call of betrayal under President Biden when all that happened. The truth is, this bill is pro-veteran. It adds $6 billion to our veteran spending. It adds the largest pay increase for our warfighters in a generation. This is a pro-veteran bill. Let's stop using veterans as political pawns and keep the government funded. Vote on Amendment No. 1274”
