i think lamar alexander embodies that. as president of the university of tennessee, as governor as the secretary of education, as a senator, in every one of those jobs it's always been about doing his best. in a chamber filled with people who think they have a monopoly on wisdom, lamar has never stopped learning. he's always been curious. up to this day, i'll bet today, he probably got up and asked somebody on his staff or one of his colleagues to tell him about something that he wants to learn more about so he can be more effective and make a greater difference, so he can do his best. the senate is going to be diminished by lamar's adsense. it's hard to believe that we could be anymore diminished then we are. but we are going to be diminished by lamar leaving. susan and i were lucky enough to be invited to his home, spend a weekend there, and i'm going to say something now that i never said to lamar alexander, but he gave us the great privilege of standing in the family cemetery in eastern tennessee, in his beloved smoky

he called him a choir boy and did his best to keep lamar alexander from winning, but lamar alexander won. and after that 1978 election, ray blanton is on his way out. but he's in his lame duck period, right? so he knows he's not going to be governor for long but he's there for a little while until the inauguration, until lamar alexander comes in. and in that lame duck period, stuff starts to go really haywire. blanton gets hauled in before a federal grand jury to testify in an fbi investigation into whether or not his administration was offering pardons for state prisoners -- get out of jail free cards -- in exchange for cash bribes. blanton himself, the governor himself, got hauled in to testify in front of the grand jury in that investigation. three of blanton's staffers, including his chief counsel, got hit with felony charges in that investigation for selling pardons in exchange for cash. and this all happens after the election, after blanton knows he's leaving office, right? when he's in this lame duck period before the new governor is going to get sworn in. on january 4th, duri

they were tears for lamar alexander. and the tears came from the place we didn't know tears existed, the eyes of mitch mcconnell. lamar alexander gave his farewell address to the united states senate after 18 years of service, which actually isn't a very long term of service for a senator. it is traditional that senators give a final speech in the final days of their service. when i worked in the united states senate, i went to the senate floor for many of those speeches. some were more eloquent than others. but almost all of them were moving. and i got choked up more than once listening to a senate farewell speech. not today. because mitch mcconnell has destroyed the united states senate as we know it. and lamar alexander did everything he possibly could to help mitch mcconnell destroy the united states senate. lamar alexander was a cabinet member and a governor of tennessee before winning a seat in the senate. you could write a biography of lamar alexander and leave out his senate years and you would be leaving out not

[laughter] i rise today to give my farewell speech on the floor of the u.s. senate. it's been an honor of a lifetime to serve the great people of wyoming in this position for f e last 24 years. i've really enjoyed being a senator. not for the title, not for the recognition and, certainly, not for the publicity. i love solving problems for folks in wyoming and america. i like working on legislation. it might shock those who know me, but i never intended to get

i believe that's what lamar alexander very eloquently spoke about on this very floor in his farewell just days ago. it is our country and the unity of nation that despite our differences will help preserve and will preserve our liberty. washington offered his advice in his farewell as an old and affectionate friend, a friend who recognized our obligation to create a better starting point for every new generation. but how do we heed this advice in a world of viral social media

lamar alexander was a fully reliable tool of mitch mcconnell in the united states senate. lamar alexander had no guiding principles stronger than doing what mitch mcconnell wanted him to do. and nothing could be more important to mitch mcconnell, more endearing to mitch mcconnell, than that kind of blind loyalty to mitch mcconnell and his mission. mitch mcconnell's mission was described today on msnbc on nicolle wallace's show by steve schmidt in one of those extemporaneous short speeches of his that just stop you in your tracks and force you to not just listen but to say the words again in your head and think. and every time you think about the most forceful things that steve schmidt says, the most sharp-edged things that he says about the people who he used to work for in the republican party, you know that it's true. and steve schmidt saying it about republicans makes it all the more importantly true. steve schmidt ran john mccain's campaign for president. steve schmidt has always wanted a republican to be president of the united states until donald trump became the rep

he said let's do t we brought in senator lamar alexander, that was a pretty smart move and then senator heidi heidkamp. and it made the marketplace fairness act necessary, and we were an unexpected group of senators, two republicans, two democrats, literally from all over the united states. we disagreed on some things, sure, but we agreed that main street business needed a break and deserved fair treatment. we kept working on it with microenzi's leadership and in 2013, it passed the senate overwhelmingly 69 votes. unfortunately, the house of representatives once again broke our heart and didn't act on it. we kept introducing the bill and main street was struggling against the unfair advantage that only retailers had. visitors to the office might have noticed something that was in my office i brought to the floor today. and wondered what this was all about. this was a gift from mike enzi after we were successful in the united states senate. it's a small wooden three-note train whistle and it would be a violation of the senate rules to blow the whistle, but it was a gift from mike for our

justst as our tribute9 to lamar alexander was a tribute to the better angels of nature as they're shown in the lives of senators, so too with mike enzi. i join my colleagues in thanking mike for his service to wyoming and to america. one of theon most frequent questions many to of us are asked is a why can't you folks t along in washington. why can't you do thing things together. i say to them, there are times when we do, and many times they're very important. when we do come together, it's because ofr people like mike who worked under his so-called 80/20 rule. we know that well, don't we? he would tell you he believed both sides -- if negotiators willing to give up the other 20%, we can actually get some things done around here. and wouldn't that be refreshing. one of those items was the marketplace fairness act. mike helped lead the fight for local bricks and mortar retailers to give them a chance to compete on equal if level playing field -- equal and level playing field with online sellers, mail companies and internet companies. and to allow the statements and localities to collect

republican lamar alexander is retiring after serving three terms in the senate. he's also been the secretary of education and two-term governor of tennessee. in addition, he twice ran for the republican presidential nomination, coming pretty close to 1996. unlike many of his colleagues, alexander is not repeating president trump's false claims the 2020 election was rigged against him. so i caught up with him this week and asked about mr. trump's post election behavior. let me start with a simple question, any doubt who won the presidential election? >> well, shouldn't be after monday. i mean, the states have counted, certified their votes, courts resolved the disputes. it looked very much like the electries will vote for joe biden and when they do, i hope he puts the country first, the president, that he takes pride in his considerable accomplishments, congratulates the president-elect and helps him get off to a good start, especially in the middle of this pandemic. we need to not lose one day in the middle of getting the vaccine out to everybody who needs it. >>
