With the looming threat of massive job losses from AI, we have to find new ways to protect Americans from long periods of unemployment and connect them to good-paying, stable jobs.

They are the party of data centers. They are the party of fealty to the AI industry and this fakery that they are putting on the floor right now isn’t going to fool anybody. So they’re desperate.

If you wanted to get a stock ban done, you would put a stock ban on the floor.

These ads need to immediately come off the air, taxpayers need to be paid back for this theft, and everyone responsible needs to be held accountable for this corrupt and illegal propaganda.

That will be the primary impact of this artificial cap on compensation, this massive antitrust exemption for colleges, I think it may well, in the end, be the unwinding of college sports.

The way to save college sports was to admit that these kids provide an incredibly valuable service, as the Supreme Court has judged as well, and they deserve to be fairly compensated.

Students are not dumb. They're not going to sit in college sports with a cap on their earnings.

In the end, this bill, if it passes and becomes law, is actually going to be a long-term threat to college athletics.

We could have done what happens in most industries, which is just say to the NCAA and to the colleges, tough luck.

The bill does really nothing to stop the runaway overall costs of college athletics.

The crisis, it appears to me, is pretty simple: young athletes who perform a service that would be worth billions in the free market are finally getting what they lawfully deserve.

The facts don't back up that characterization of college sports…I know that there's more people than ever showing up to these games and watching the games.

I mean, that's an extraordinary story: an $8 million donation; two days later, a meeting of those donors with the president; an immediate phone call to the FDA to change the rules; four days later, the rules are changed; and four days…

Will you commit to restarting the advisory boards that have been disbanded under this president?

So long as these advisory boards, which are authorized by Congress, are attacked, eliminated, and restricted from meeting, you are not going to rebound the public's support for independent FDA decision making.

That is not a coincidence, right? That is the definition of political interference in FDA decision making.

I don’t think they’ll be moving until potentially after the election.

I think the clouds are being hung this weekend. It’s going to take a little while to get them motorized, and they’ve got to get them balanced.

“We don’t have to accept the transition from in-person connection to online isolation. Massive social media platforms knowingly addict us to screens and harm our kids to boost their profits. These big tech companies have gotten a free pass…

This resolution is a chance for this body to end the war. And so we are pleading once again, maybe the 10th time that we've had a resolution like this, for our colleagues to join us.

The people, whether they're Republicans, independents, or Democrats, are telling us loudly and unequivocally, end this war.

Support for this war is at 18% in this country. We are supposed to be a democratic body that listens to the will of the people.

We shouldn't wait for their permission. We need to do this in the next 12 months. And so, while I would like them at the table, the last thing we should do is give them veto power.

I worry about the China red herring blocking us from common sense domestic regulation. China would love nothing more than for the United States to do nothing to protect people spiritually and the economy generally from what AI could do…

I don't think there's any path forward without us being in a conversation with the Chinese and the rest of the world on basic AI safety guidelines, the most important of which is maintaining human control over these systems.
