Are All Men Created Equal, Or Are Some More Equal Than Others?
Jan 19, 2018
Mr. President, today hundreds of thousands of Americans from all walks of life will participate in the 45th annual March for Life.
Why do these citizens march, year after year?

No, these Americans march on behalf of those who cannot.
FISA 702 Reauthorization
Jan 17, 2018
Mr. President,
Our Founding Fathers knew what it was like to live in a dangerous world.

And yet, the Founders insisted on a Constitution that protected Americans’ civil liberties.
Speech in Memory of President Thomas S. Monson
Jan 4, 2018
Mr. President, I rise today to honor the life of a remarkable man: Thomas S. Monson, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
On Tuesday night, at age 90, President Monson was called home by his Heavenly Father.
I expect his reunion with his wife Frances was a joyous occasion, and I am confident that reunion provides comfort to his three children and eight grandchildren.
Net Neutrality Regulation
Dec 14, 2017
Mr. President,
Earlier today the FCC voted to reverse a major impediment to a free and open Internet: The Title Two Internet regulations that were imposed under President Obama in 2015.
These regulations are commonly called “Net Neutrality,” so for the sake of convenience that is what I’ll call them.

Mr. President, as we speak our brothers and sisters in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Texas are recovering from a string of devastating hurricanes.
Over one hundred people have lost their lives because of these storms. Many more are struggling to get by day to day.
