biden: mr. president, dr. biden, ladies and gentlemen -- p.m. kishisda: mr. president, dr. biden, ladies in general, thank you for hosting such a warm dinner and your warm welcome and hospitality. before i came here, my staff told me that no one had complained that my speech was too short. [laughter] this is probably good advice so i will keep my speech short. first and foremost, to be honored, my breath is taken and i am speechless in front of such a huge number of prominent american and japanese guests. my wife, yuko, also left breathless, just told me that it was hard to tell who the guest of honor is. so, i was relieved when i was shown the seat right next to the president. [laughter] last year, president biden and dr. biden visited my hometown of hiroshima to attend the g7 summit meeting. it is a little-known fact that the largest number of japanese immigrants to the united states came from hiroshima. many hiroshimans headed to the united states to seek a new world, a better future, and greater heights. mr. president, i know that the late senator was a good friend of y

thank you, mr. president. i yield back. a senator: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from wisconsin. mr. johnson: mr. president, earlier today we heard a very convincing case laid out by the house managers of why the senate should fulfill its constitutional duty and proceed to a trial on the impeachment of secretary mayorkas. if we were to hold that trial, we should do so, this chart that i've been developing since i became chairman of homeland security in 2015 would basically be the irrefutable dna evidence of the crime. what i've tried to lay out in this chart is the cause and effect of an ongoing set of illegal immigration crises faced by the last three administrations. so what i'd like to do briefly here on the senate floor is go through that history dating back to 2012 and show the impact of certain actions, certain court decisions, certainly the lack of faith to execute the law in this administration has now resulted in invasion in our country. let's go back to 2012. that's where this chart begins. even before that i had develo

the presiding officer: is there objection? mrs. murray: mr. president, i object. the presiding officer: objection is heard. mr. lee: if the objection is that my proposal is somehow not germane, then i'll offer another amendment. i want to bring up lee amendment 1857 for consideration. it would ensure that the repayment of the loan congress seems so determined to give ukraine is exclusively used to pay down the u.s. national debt. this bill demands the american people dig deeper into their pockets, funding the salaries and pensions of ukrainian officials and humanitarian efforts under the guise of a loan. the unsettling truth is that this loan can and almost certainly will be waived, possibly leaving americans without any reimbursement. i think that's part of the plan, in fact. it makes it easier to swallow, makes it look like something less than what it is. my amendment addresses this concern by prohibiting any cancelation of the debt owed by ukraine and ensuring its repayments go directly to the u.s. national debt by presenting this amount, i came to offer the am

mr. schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: mr. president, i'd like to begin today by saying a few things about the protests at columbia university. smashing windows with hammers and taking over university buildings is not free speech. it is lawlessness. and those who did it should promptly face the consequences that are not merely a slap on the wrist. free speech, discussion, and even strong disagreement are fundamental american values and campuses should be places where those values are cherished. campuses cannot be places of learning and argument and discussion when protests veer into criminality, and those who commit such acts are doing nothing to convince others that their cause is just. it is also unacceptable when jewish students are targeted for being jewish, when protests exhibit verbal abuse, systemic intimidation, or glorification of the murderous and hateful hamas or the violence of october 7. as i said in my speech here on the floor last november and many times since, that is anti-semitism. it is loathful. it is unacce
