He played sports in high school. The new judge will do a good job like the old judge. The new judge has a nice family. They are good people. I want him to be the new judge. You should vote for him too.”

“I think you did not listen to my speech. I did not say what you think. I said that we want to work with Canada to stop wildfires. That will be good for both countries. I want more work on wildfires. You can say bad things about the President. But you should not mischaracterize my speech.”

“I want Canada to do more to stop wildfires. The smoke comes to the United States. It is bad for people's health. Canada and the United States are friends. We help each other. But Canada needs to do more to stop the fires. I introduced a resolution. It says Canada should take responsibility. It says our countries should work together to stop the fires. I ask that the Senate pass this resolution.”

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027--Motion to Proceed

“I want to honor my friend. He spent his life in government. He helped the military. He was in the Air Force and the Reserves. He helped guardsmen and reservists get more money for school. I called him 'Grambo'. He was like Rambo for the military. He was the Senate version of Rambo. He helped pass tax changes. He helped fund border security and law enforcement. He helped President Trump. He helped put conservative judges on the Supreme Court and in lower courts. He spoke from the heart. He was proud of his family. His sister Darline will replace him. My wife and I are praying for him and his family.”
