Political Quotes

“I do want to thank Senator Cruz for the work and the time that he put in trying to find a resolution to this issue. I do appreciate that. But what we know is this: This body has proven that they cannot legislate on emerging technology. It is frustrating. We have not passed online privacy. We have not passed the NO FAKES Act, the COPIED Act. There are all of these pieces of legislation dealing with AI that we haven't passed. But do you know who has passed it? It is our States. They are the ones that are protecting children in the virtual space. They are the ones that are out here protecting our entertainers' name, image, likeness--of broadcasters, podcasters, authors. And it is appropriate that we approach this issue with the seriousness that it deserves. We have not reached a resolution on this. So, therefore, I ask my colleagues to join me in striking section 40012. Vote yes. Let's pass this bill.”
