mr. murphy: right. mr.chatz: that is one of the thing i've noticed about this president is just the unapologetic i've got leverage and i'm going to use it aspect of it, and nobody bats an eyelash. if you behaved like that, you'd get lit on fire appropriately. so i think one ever the things i've noticed over the last couple weeks is there's people -- look, democrats need to understand, this guy is unusually talented. we used to think oh, what a buffoon or whatever. maybe, but he's a develop talented politician in a very unconventional way. but he is also not infallible. he is capable of making incompetent decisions. he's capable of being beaten legislatively in the court of public opinion. right now he's in the saddle because he has all these e.o.'s, all these executive orders. but eventually events overtake, and a president usually is responding to events rather than creating conditions on the ground. so part of the thing that i want everybody to kind of understand as they feel their frustration, as they ki

mr. guthrie: i'll yield 1 1/2 minutes to my good dr. murphy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. murphy: i have heard the arguments from the members of the other side and feel like we're in businesses areo world. bizarro world. the people have told us they don't want this. we are trying to get things off the streets. what does it mean in the halt fentanyl act? i'm from pepsi company. say people don't like coke and we have to get rid of coke but then you have to get rid of vanilla coke and lemon coke and all the other cokes so we get rid of the derivative, the basic element of fentanyl. that's all that we're doing. we're not trying to protect our criminals. we're not going to hurt our physicians. we're not going to hurt any particular segment of society. we're trying to bring back what the americans wanted during the election and that was law and order. very, very simple. i've known nine young men who have died from fentanyl overdoses, nine. there's not a single person in this chamber that doesn't know somebody who has died

mr. murphy, no. mr. gallego, no. mr. bennet, no. the clerk: mr. young, aye. let me begin by thanking my girls elle and ported or now returning to scene of congressional confirmation hearings as veterans. their love and support and enthusiasm for me serving again is a major reason why i feel that going back to it is the right endeavor at the right moment. beyond my enthusiasm for being at president trump's side, it is a profound honor to be nominate a second time by president trump to serve as the director of the office of management and budget. the president has promised american people a federal government that works for all americans, not the interest of bureaucrats and entrenched establishment making it start into filling that vital promise during my previous time at omb both deputy director and director was among most rewarding career experiences of my career. throughout that time i've been driven by commitment to taxpayers and their families. growing up as the son of an electrician and school teacher i saw first hand sacrifices my parents made to balance

mr. big. if you knew scott, then you would know that he wanted everything to be the biggest and the best. dennis murphy: and he kept up on his fitness regimen. the former bodybuilder didn't want to slide into flab. he kept after lisa to stay in shape with him, and her best friend from the mall, a woman named leah frazier, became lisa's workout buddy. leah frazier: lisa was always conscious about what she was eating, how she was exercising. she would do aerobics. she would do the stair stepper. dennis murphy: scott installed a few pieces of gym equipment in the basement of the house. a treadmill, a tanning bed, and a weight machine. it was there that something catastrophic had happened on the morning of july second, 2009. and now scott was in his truck racing for help, calling 911. as scott sped through summer cornfields, his wife, lisa, was in the back of the cab in very bad shape as he told the dispatcher. scott would say later he'd gone downstairs just before noon and found his wife straddled face-up on the exercise bench with the barbell weight crushing her throat. paramedics intercepted scott's tru

mr. president, and senator murphy was. and i remember taking a walk in the morning from the capitol right here down past the ellipse where the president later that day spoke to the washington monument and then down to lincoln memorial. and i didn't have a sense of dread or anticipation of what ultimately happened that day. there were lots of people here who were supporters of president trump. i was looking at them as american citizens. i was nervous a little bit about the signs that were so aggressive, hang mike pence, seeing the gallows put up outside the capitol, seeing the signs about killing nancy pelosi. but i had an assumption that i think all of us had is that it would be peaceful and orderly and i never ever anticipated that there would be a direct attack by a mob on the capitol. and i don't think any of us were. on the other hand, my walk had ended before the then-president trump in his last days of office, he had 14 more days, had his rally at the ellipse and encouraged people, invited them to come here and go wi

mr. president, i yield 120 minutes of my postcloture debate time on the vought nomination to senator murphy. the presiding officer: the senator has that right. the presiding officer: the senator from rhode island. mr. whitehouse: well, we're in interesting times, mr. president. and we're beginning to see the corporate and billionaire takeover of the united states government. and in that corporate and billionaire takeover of the united states government, the nominee russ vought to run omb has a key role. and that key role to do the work for the billionaires and the big corporations is what makes him unfit and dangerous and what compels us to come to the floor tonight to warn the american people of what this guy will do and who he is. let's start with a little history. this is the guy who violated the impoundment control act by withholding 214 million appropriated dollars from the soldiers fighting and dying in the trenches of ukraine against putin's thug army. it was that stunt that led to the impeachment of president trump. this is the guy who caused lives to be lost in those ukrainian tren
