I hope that immigration reform is part of that general package.

Some people have some doubts about the potential financial successes of these companies.

Now maybe you can tell me, or somebody else can tell me, how much we should spend to save the planet.

The American people deserve a foreign policy that serves American interests and American values, not legislation that places the priorities of a foreign government above American sovereignty.

Only 16% of Americans support arming Israel without restrictions. So what is Congress doing? Burying a provision in the defense bill that would give Israel more military integration than any NATO ally.

Well, I certainly hope they understand what happened and make sure that never happens again. And this is not only a human tragedy, it reflects on us before the entire world. It's unacceptable.

There are no saints in the United States Senate.

Progressives are on the march.

I think when you look at politics in general, there are no saints in the United States Senate.

Together, we will defeat oligarchy and create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

Given the fact that it is the people … whose work is the foundation, whose labor is the foundation of AI, they should have some say in the future of AI.

The federal government would have the power, through its voting shares and an equal representation on each company’s board, to block decisions that hurt our citizens and to push for policies that help them.

If Democrats want to win the Senate, as I’m sure they do, I think they’re going to rally around the Democratic nominee in Maine, who just won a landslide victory in the primary.

Will the future of humanity be determined by a handful of billionaires who have promoted and developed AI, with virtually no democratic input, who stand to become even richer and more powerful than they are today?

So, what are the billionaires worried about? Why are they spending so much money trying to defeat this guy?

I think it might be a good idea if we focused on the important issues facing the working families of Maine

The issue right now is not Graham Platner's marriage. The issue right now is how we address the crises facing working families in this country.

In other words, Mr. Chairman, we are using precious committee time dealing with an issue that impacts at most less than 100th of one percent of teenagers throughout America, and zero kids under the age of 12.

Today we are … spending hours on a hearing that impacts an infinitesimal number of people.

Are you talking about morality and corruption? With President Trump?

This would guarantee that the trillions created by AI are used to improve the lives of all of us — and block oligarch decisions that harm the American people.

Of course. Why would I not?

All I can tell you is that the wealthiest people in this country have now reserved close to $100 million in TV ads in a small state like Maine.

I will soon be introducing a bill to give the public a 50% ownership stake in the largest AI companies in America.

The answer is that he's going to stand up to the oligarchies.
