mr. murphy: mr. president, because america national security is gravely compromised by the inability of a president to have his national security team in place at a time of crisis, i would ask that it be in order to make the same request with respect to executive calendar number 328, an witkowsky. mr. cruz: mr. president, reserving the right to object, just a few moments ago the senator from connecticut said something bad is going to happen. he's right. something bad is going to happen, and there's a reason for it. the biden foreign policy in just seven months has been the most disastrous foreign policy we have seen of any administration since jimmy carter. to every enemy of america, they have projected weakness. on russia, joe biden has given vladimir putin what he wanted most, a multibillion dollar pipeline to let him extort europe. on china, the biden administration has been projecting weakness over and over and over again, including kowtowing to china and reversing the state department policy on

mr. murphy this following quote from mitch mcconnell in the wall street journal caught our eye joe the firstthese two sentences is on the indecipherable side, it reads quote, there is nothing to back you up like the promise of a presidential signatory, if you're in the same party as the president here is the money bite, and so i think the president deserves a lot of credit for getting the democrats open to reaching a bipartisan agreement on this bill, as a mcconnell whisperer, mike does that mean anything for the future, or is it simply a quote for the wall street journal? >> no, i think he means it mcconnell could've torpedoed this thing, i think the translation is, biden stop the liberal wing of the democratic wing of the party to get to a place where republicans could vote for it. i will give all of them a ton of credit for this, we needed to show our allies and nato around the world that we can pass a grown-up bill on something we really need to be economically competitive with which is in construction, i think we're going to part two and i'm worried about the house where there are a lot

mr. murphy, this following quote from mitch mcconnell of the "wall street journal" caught our eye.es is on the indecipherable side. it reads, quote, there is nothing to back you up like the promise of a presidential signatory. a word people use every day. if you're in the same party as the president. here's the money bite. so i think the president deserves a lot of credit for getting the democrats open to reaching a bipartisan agreement on this bill. as a mcconnell whisperer, does that mean anything for the future? or is it simply a quote for the "wall street journal"? >> i think he means it. mcconnell could have torpedoed this thing. i think he went for it. i think the translation is biden stopped the liberal wing of the democratic party from screwing with this thing to let us get to a place where a bunch of republican cosmetic vote for it. i'll give president biden and leader schumer and leader mcconnell a tunnel of credit for this. we needed to show our allies and nato and around the world that we can pass a grown-up bill on something we need to be economically competitive with

mr. murphy. emergency management administrator for the town of southampton. gentlemen, thanks for joining us. steve, we're going to start with you. you've issued a state of emergency. how are you all preparing and do you think people are heeding your warnings? peoeach of these storms are different. i was here for super storms tandy and usually you have a lot of advance warned warning for a storm like this coming up the coast. but a few days ago, we were thinking that we could be facing the first direct hurricane and long island in decades. but we issued the emergency order yesterday, and we work to evacuate people off of fire island until late last night. we were able to get thousands of people off the island to shelters or other locations. so, the priority has been safety. making sure that people are secure. and now we are just preparing for what is ahead today. >> ryan, the hurricane center projected path puts henri's iconic near south hampton. are you ready on a good, beautiful day, it takes forever to travel through that area. have you put evacuation orde

mr. murphy: thank you, mr. president. i come to the floor today first to talk about the build back better budget. this is an opportunity for this country to get it right. for far too long millionaires and billionaires, corporations in this country have accrued more and more wealth, have paid less and less taxes. well average americans have seen the cost of living rise their lives get more difficult and washington do virtually nothing about it. we're going to make a huge down payment in fixing that imbalance. the build back better budget which we will begin considering tomorrow it's going to lower costs for americans. we're talking about the cost of medicare making sure that seniors get a benefit for things like vision and dental, lower the cost for families like child care costs. the presiding officer and i are amongst the few parents of relatively young school-age children. we know the cost of child care today can bankrupt families that don't have the incomes that we do. it's going to cut taxes for american families, but

mr. murphy: thank you very much. i'm going to continue to propound these unanimous consent requests in the same form as the chairman of the committee, but before i do, just a few brief remarks. i know the hour is late. first of all, it is wonderful to hear this revisionist history about the trump administration's disposition towards russia. everybody knows what was going on. this was an administration that was practically sycophantish towards the russian regime, refused over and over again to stand up in any meaningful way. that's why the pipeline got so far along. it was the 11th hour when the trump administration at the very last minute decided to move forward on sanctions. and so we're not here to paint the merits of the decision making, but suffice it to say russia did very well expanding influence around the region during the four years that donald trump was in office. second, the effect of holding up all of these nominees is to kneecap american national security. never ever before has a president had so few nom

mr. chairman. let me begin by saying thank you to all of you and participating in this. i think senator murphyhas started a conversation that many of us wanted to have here today with regard to, number one, the responsibility of the united states congress, the role and responsibility of the executive branch, and how the aumf's that are currently in effect impact that relationship. i think there is a pretty broad agreement that the 1991 is outdated. i think it appears that the 2002, the challenges here -- a number members believe it is outdated. it is believed that it has been relied on by two different administrations, in conjunction with article two capabilities. and just looking back, it would appear that the attack on general soleimani by the trump administration, it would appear that both the obama administration and the trump administration had used the 2002 aumf to justify military action against iranian backed militias and proxies, the iranian government, and the islamic state, unless i'm mistaken, i believe there referred to both the article two, and the 2002 aumf in their justificatio
