  1. “Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate resume legislative session and be in a period of morning business for debate only, with Senators permitted to speak therein for up to 10 minutes each.”

  2. “Well, folks, that action was with the same logic that the ICC was using when they indicted Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. It seems hypocritical that he can stand up here and say ``I stand with Israel, yet they should have new elections'' and somehow have the moral authority to defend Israel against the ICC. In blocking this bill, Democrats were voting to not protect our soldiers; they were voting to not stand up for our allies, not stand up for our sovereignty. They were not supporting specifically Israel. The appeasement-first policy of the Biden administration is alive and well in the Democrats in the U.S. Senate today. Americans, take note. I yield the floor.”

  3. “Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.”

  4. “But this is exactly the same kind of pushing of propaganda which has led, I presume, India to ban TikTok, as well, because the Chinese Communist Party is doing the same thing to them. So a couple of points on this, and, again, I don't think anything will be different 270 days from now because the Chinese Communist Party will not allow TikTok to be sold because their algorithm would be exposed. With that, I would just end by saying that China must be deterred. I yield the floor.”

  5. “Are we willing to say to the Chinese Communist Party enough, no further, not now? We are changing. We are getting away from the bad practices of the past that the Chinese Communist Party is taking advantage of. Let's send a clear signal to Beijing that America's national security is going to take priority. Let's stand strong. Let's remember, we passed this law for a reason, and it is to keep Americans safe, and, therefore, I object.”

  6. “Let's make sure other families don't have to live through the tragedy that Laken Riley's family had to live through. I yield the floor.”

  7. “We can do a better job of providing services and keeping our expenses down just like the private sector does by leveraging tools like Lean Six Sigma, just like the private sector does.”
