Senator for Alabama · Republican · United States
“While there are still a lot of questions surrounding what happened that day in Butler, we do know that this young man seemed to be at least somewhat involved in the gender-confused cult. In 2023, a gender-confused shooter walked into a Christian school in Nashville, TN, killing three 9-year-olds and three adults in a Christian school.”

“For years, our healthcare system has taken advantage of their mental illness, getting people to pay tens of thousands of dollars for expensive medications and irreversible surgeries, all while lying about the negative side effects sex change surgeries and medications have on their patients' physical and mental health forever--not just sho…”

“He had gender- confused people serving in the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of War, and the Department of Energy. His actual Assistant Secretary of Health--Secretary of Health--was a gender-confused individual. And are those really the type of people we are supposed to trust in everyday life?”

“So I will call these people what they are--gender-confused. Unfortunately, this gender-confused mental illness is on the rise in our society today, and it is very, very concerning.”

“These mentally ill, woke liberals think that if you were born a man, you can go under the knife and be magically transformed into a woman; and if you were born a woman, you can somehow be turned into a man.”

“Mr. President, I come to the floor today to talk about the rise in violence coming from people whom the left refers to as ``transgender.'' I have come to the floor many times in the last 6 years to talk about the issue of men competing in women's sports.”

“By reducing the numbers of employees, these savings can be redirected to actually providing veterans healthcare and benefits, while still protecting the VA's mission-critical jobs, like doctors, nurses, and claims processors, to do the job it was meant to do. And phasing out nonmission-critical jobs like DEI officers and interior designers, for just a few, is necessary to get this job done. Now, I don't want to oversimplify this. I know these problems at the VA exist. They always have existed. Since 2015, the VA care has been on the Government Accountability Office's list of high risk. That means it has been audited: Are they doing their job? Not very good reviews. We have to do better for our veterans. I come from a military family and have spent many hours in the VA. Some are good; some are not so good. Let's stand up for our veterans.”

“Reserving the right to object, on November 5, President Trump was given a mandate: Get this country straightened out. This included waste, fraud, and abuse in our Federal Government, over all Agencies. The VA is a perfect example. Under President Biden, the VA increased its staff 80,000 employees in 4 years. Let me repeat that: Under President Biden, the VA increased its staff 80,000 people. You would think that this would mean that we would increase the efficiency of our VA 80,000 percent. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Despite the Biden administration ballooning the size of the Department, the VA has nothing to show for it. In fact, wait times and backlogs have gone up. It hasn't worked. So these cuts are not warranted. They are completely necessary.”

“By the way, just the threat of President Trump's tariffs has already led India, Vietnam, and Israel to proactively drop significantly and lower tariffs against the United States before it has really even started. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or a Democrat; we should all be united in wanting economic policies that put American farmers, producers, businesses, and manufacturers first. So, Mr. President, for that reason, I object.”

“The party needs to continue, but all the other countries that have been built off the American taxpayers, such as the Middle East, such as Europe, such as China, they need to start bringing gifts to the party because the American taxpayer can't afford it any longer. We are $37 trillion in debt, and the only way to pay that down is to force other people to help us. The American taxpayer can't afford it. As a result, American jobs have been sent overseas because of all the domestic problems that we are having for labor, for things that stand out for our manufacturers. We have to get manufacturing back in this country. The days are over. President Trump is 100 percent committed, folks--100 percent. He is going to do whatever it takes to usher in a golden age for the American economy.”

“Vietnam is dumping billions--I repeat, billions--of pounds of catfish, and India is dumping billions of pounds of shrimp every year into U.S. markets, flooding the markets and reducing the price for our quality domestic products. It is devastating. We need to put a reciprocal tariff on these countries to protect our American producers. I get calls every day. Whether it is cabinets, whether it is produce, whether it is fish, it makes no difference. Our people are going broke. I recognize that tariff actions may cause reciprocal tariffs from other countries. We need to take that in stride. In this country, we had a party for 249 years. The United States has put that party on.”

“Reserving the right to object. The media, for some reason, is in full meltdown mode after President Trump declared today ``Liberation Day.'' Only my Democratic colleagues and the media, the globalist media, would find a reason to be mad about that. I am sadly convinced that my colleagues and the woke media would rather President Trump fail than achieve a goal to help the United States of America and the taxpayers. President Trump's views on tariffs, they aren't complicated. He believes, as I do, that America has been ripped off by unfair trade deals for decades and simply wants a level playing field. We have to change directions. What we are doing is not working. U.S. catfish and shrimp producers have faced some of the worst blows, for example.”

“Madam President, we learn a lot about a person by seeing where they choose to spend their time. For Medical Corpsman Travis Parker, he has chosen to give the last 50 years giving back to Alabama's veterans. After being drafted into the Army, Travis chose to become a medic. He was passionate about combining his medical training with helping soldiers harmed overseas. After completing his training at Fort Sam Houston, Travis was assigned to finish his tour at Fort Rucker.”

“Mr. President, challenges are a part of life that show us what we are really made of. Corporal Wayne Everett of Fultondale reminds us that while we can't control what challenges life throws our way, we can control how we respond. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1965, leaving his small town of East Lake for the jungles of Vietnam. After discharging from the military, Wayne took his young family back home to the Birmingham area to work with his father as a painter for the next decade.”

“The American people are on the same page on this, and their verdict is in: They want men out of women's sports and women's locker rooms. Let's do the right thing. This doesn't have to be a Republican or Democrat issue. This is about standing up for girls and women, which I know my Democrat colleagues also care about. This is long overdue. I hope we can put politics aside, and in about an hour, in 45 minutes, do the right thing and protect women and girls in sports. I yield the floor.”

“American taxpayers should not be forced to foot the bill for any schools that are allowing this to happen. The days of woke, swamp politicians running our government are over. Common sense has been restored to the White House, and Congress needs to get back to work and let President Trump work on this bill. This isn't about politics; this is about right and wrong. The American people have delivered a verdict. They want men out of women's sports and women's locker rooms. President Trump is 100 percent with us on this. The time to act is now. It is time to restore title IX protections and save women's sports. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”

“Madam President, America's military is the greatest in the world because of men and women who take pride in their role to keep us safe. No one demonstrates this better than Second Class Officer Stephen Woodfin of Harvest, AL. After being drafted into the Navy in 1968, Stephen found himself far from his smalltown Alabama farm at basic training in Nashville and San Diego.”

“For that reason, I think Tulsi is exactly the change agent we need leading our intelligence community. Like Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi switched her party affiliation because she saw the status quo as a threat to the American people and our constitutional rights. As Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi will check her politics at the door, just like she has done the last 20 years serving in our military. She will come to DNI without any bias. She will fix our broken intelligence community--and, folks, it is broken. I look forward to confirming Tulsi to DNI. I urge all my colleagues to join me in voting for Tulsi. She will play a major role in President Trump's team and restoring faith in our intelligence community. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”

“Foreign Adversary Risk Management Act Now, I would like to turn to national security threats in our Nation's agriculture sector and food supply chains. I am on the Ag Committee. Over the past few years, the United States has experienced a rapid increase in foreign investment in the agricultural sector, particularly from China. We have to open our eyes; bad things are happening around us. Growing foreign investment in agriculture and other essential industries, like healthcare and energy, is a direct threat to our country's national security.”

“They gave us a mandate to deliver them from the past 4 years of hell that this administration has caused. But now, it is a new day in America. The nightmare is almost over. And in a few more days, the Sun will rise in America. Greatness awaits us if we answer the call of the American people. I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum.”
