50 years after the passage of title IX, females are being annually shortchanged by a billion dollars in athletic scholarships.

Do you agree that in those instances they should also be required to provide the same level of support to all athletes in their program regardless of their race, their gender, the sport they play?

We would very much like to see in Federal legislation policies that make clear that institutions... are doing so in a way that is completely equitable across genders.

Any Federal action we take to deliver for the people who have always been what matters most in college sports--and that is the athletes--that means guaranteeing them the maximum freedom possible to be compensated for the use of their name…

if deals started to take the shape of resembling pay-for-play, which has been discussed today, it just highlights what we have known for years, and that is that there is a market for paying college athletes.

I wouldn't be where I am today without that scholarship.

I am a proponent of giving athletes the power to organize and collectively bargain for fair and better treatment.

I think it is fair to say that for a long time the main argument against allowing college athletes to be compensated for the use of their NIL was that it would effectively end college athletics as we know it.

the national standard should be as pro-athlete as possible?

It is clear that years of reluctance to embrace the inevitable shift on NIL means athletes are now operating in a patchwork of State laws governing their rights.

I appreciate your looking at it as a fighter. But I would also add one more year of propping up a corrupt government and an army that would not fight on its own would not give us a better outcome, and anyone who thinks differently is…

That it was actually an amazing undertaking. It was done under chaotic circumstances because the government had collapsed, because the party had melted away the Afghan army and that even in the midst of all of that, our military was able…

Right. Well, literally for months now, Democrats in the Senate, Democrats in the House have been operating with one goal in mind and one understanding, and that is there is going to be a lot that needs to be done in the reconciliation…

Look, you remember what happened in the early 2000s. And that is we had Federal Reserve that was unwilling to rein the giant financial institutions. So a bit at a time they deregulate here, they turn a blind eye there. And those financial…

The elephant in the room is whether you are going to be renominated for a second term as Fed chair. Renominating you means gambling that the next five years with a Republican chair who has regularly voted to deregulate Wall Street won`t…

I believe President Biden had it exactly right, withdrawing was long overdue. The withdrawal was conducted in accordance with the advice of his military advisers who planned and executed every step of this withdrawal.
