What Bill Hagerty said, and what was done

“Madam President, if the motion for the Senate to adjourn with pro forma sessions scheduled until September 14 would have been a recorded rollcall vote, I would have voted no.”

“Yes, there is, Mr. President. Reserving the right to object, the President made clear that he would not seek any compensation from the anti-weaponization fund, and, for my own part, I have made it clear that I won't seek any compensation from the anti-weaponization fund.”

“Mr. President, I find it quite interesting that my Democratic colleagues are now seeking to somehow block some of the funds of the Department of Justice when they would never do this before.”

“Mr. President, we have gone 110 days with Border Patrol and ICE being defunded by the Democrats. The question I ask is, What do they want? Do they want to see more deaths?”

“Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and congratulate my friend and an outstanding community leader in Memphis, TN, Cato Johnson, on the occasion of his retirement. Cato currently serves as chief of staff at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, where he has dedicated over 40 years of extraordinary service.”

“Mr. President, the SAVE America Act answers one simple question: Should noncitizens be able to cast a vote in American elections? The answer is clearly, incontrovertibly, no. Indeed, the right to cast a vote in American elections is something that belongs to American citizens alone.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to speak about the unaffordability of healthcare, a crisis created and perpetuated by my Democrat colleagues across the aisle. Fifteen years ago, without a single Republican vote, congressional Democrats authored and signed into law the so-called Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare.”

“Madam President, I stand before you today to urge the adoption of the Hagerty-Peters amendment for the bipartisan BIOSECURE Act. The BIOSECURE Act is rooted in basic common sense.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support the confirmation of my close friend and, for the past 4 years, my chief of staff, Mr.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to confirm the confirmation of my teammate and friend Luke Pettit, President Trump's nominee to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Institutions.”

“To Senate staffers gathered here today, I hope you will see Luke's confirmation as an inspiration and an acknowledgment of the vital role that all of you play in shaping policy and serving this country.”

“Mr. President, I am here today to urge my colleagues to support the confirmation of Whitney Hermandorfer. Whitney Hermandorfer is President Trump's nominee to be a judge on the Sixth Circuit.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and honor the remarkable life of an extraordinary American, a Marine Corps veteran, titan of industry, and friend to me and many others here in the U.S.”

“Mr. President, President Trump's actions to address Iran's nuclear weapons program last weekend didn't start a war; they ended a war. So I rise today to support President Trump's wisdom and leadership in decisively countering Iran's nuclear threat and, therefore, to oppose this ill-conceived joint resolution.”

“Mr. President, if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order, following the remarks of my colleagues.”

“Mr. President, I thank the Senator from New Jersey for yielding, and reiterate that section 9, Anti-Money Laundering Innovation, was added to the GENIUS Act to enable the Federal Government to address illicit activities involving stablecoins by directing the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to establish guidance and notice and comment rulemaking relating to the factors set forth in sections 9(d)(1)-9(d)(4).”

“Mr. President, today, on a bipartisan basis, the Senate will pass its first major digital asset legislation ever--the GENIUS Act. With this bill, the United States is one step closer to becoming the global leader in crypto.”

“Mr. President, I rise today in support of my legislation, the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act--otherwise known as the GENIUS Act. I would like to thank Senator Gillibrand for her kind comments and her hard work in this and Senator Scott, who so ably chaired our committee.”

“Mr. President, I want to compliment my colleague from Wyoming for the wonderful introduction that she gave. That means that I don't need to give the many, many pages of speech that I had planned.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to urge my colleagues to support the confirmation of my constituent and friend Pete Hegseth. Last week, during his 4\1/2\ hour confirmation hearing, America saw exactly why President Trump nominated Pete Hegseth to be our next Secretary of Defense.”
