rosen: thank you. i want to move on to something everyone is talking about, the broadband bead funding. ntia unlocked $416 million that will connect all nevadans to affordable, reliable high-speed internet. we are in the top 10 most largest states, a deep frontier state, one of the most mountainous states in the lower 48 and we have significant challenges. even before the omb guidance was issued earlier this week halting federal funding, some of the administration have advocated for drastically altering the program, clawing back funds already allocated to the states. because of our geography and geology we are years into the process in nevada. we are on the edge of build out. before you answer the question may i say that laws are not simply suggestions. can you commit that nevada won't have to restart what has been a years long process and will receive the full amount congress has allocated to it under the bead program given our plan has already been approved? mr. lutnick: i can commit to you that if i

senator rosen. sen. rosen: thank you. when you came to the senate, your office was across from mine and i appreciate your service to the nation, you know how this place works and your willingness to serve again. i have also had a great relationship with past administrators under both administrations because small business matters and i look forward to having the same ones with you. we talked about the challenges and resources and being able to get to the people who need it and help them do their dream or idea, really important. chair ernst and i, we talked a little bit about childcare because it's so important in the rising cost of childcare, severe shortage of affordable options. they are really financially squeezing not just nevada families but all over the country, urban and rural, and lack of access to childcare. it's a problem for small business and parents alike and it creates barriers for people who want to start and grow their business and it makes difficult for small businesses sometimes to retain employees becau

rosen: thank you. mr. president, every member of this body is sworn to protect our national security and safety and the well-being of the american people. there is no more important responsibility for congress to fulfill than this. senators take an oath to defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and when the american people go to sleep at night, they rest assured that our homeland will be kept safe. as senators, we play a key role in making sure that the men and women in charge of our nation's security, well, that they're up to the task, that they are hale experienced, that they're -- that they're experienced, that they're qualified, that they're prepared. these are jobs with enormous responsibility. there is zero, zero room for failure here. unqualified or inexperienced candidates make mistakes in these jobs, often the result is that innocent people get hurt, and in some cases die. that is why the senate's confirmation process is just so important, because t

we've spoken to a number of companies rosen a us, us listed technology group, has spoken to us.e trying to disrupt the auto insurance sector. they've shared some insurance as well as ai data with us. what it basically shows is that the company processed about 600,000 insurance claims in the third quarter of last year. now, according to our calculations, if they were using openai's latest or one ai model, that would cost them about $36,000 to process all of these insurance claims. now, if they switch to deep 6r1 ai model, that would be about $17,000. that's a 50% drop in running costs for rosen if they simply swap one ai model with another. >> wow. that's tremendous savings. and i'm sure that example is you can see examples like that across industries. is it just about cost when it comes to switching to deep 6r1 from some of the incumbents. or are there other advantages. >> well, companies like these have stringent requirements when it comes to, you know, processing insurance claims. they are, after all, handling personal data. right. another firm we spoke to was ooda, ai, and th

rosen: mr. lutnick thank you for being here. it was a pleasure to meet your family. i appreciate our conversation ahead of the hearing and i look forward to your responses on how to carry out the department mission to carry out american innovation. with the administration's unconstitutional move to freeze federal funding including critical investments in american innovation like the tech hubs program, part of that in nevada brought -- building out our broadband infrastructure, really important i am skeptical on the ability of this administration to deliver on that mission and i am concerned that the policies outlined by this administration will raise prices on everyday goods and have the potential to make housing and energy more expensive. with that, i will turn to a few critically important things in the nevada economy we touched on. everybody knows about southern nevada and las vegas, the key economic driver of every single state in the nation. the backbone of nevada's economy , several years ago when i was chair of the subcommittee on tourism, trade, and export pr

rosen: thank you. mr. president, earlier today i stood before this chamber to voice my concerns about russell vought, president trump's nominee to lead the office of management and budget. vought is an extremist and allowing him to hold this position, a position that oversees the entire federal budget would be nothing short of disaster. as one of the authors of project 2025, mr. vought has made his extreme policy agenda very clear. and one of the key pieces of the project 2025 agenda is illegally dismantling usaid. as we all know, the united states agency for international development, or usaid, has long been a cornerstone of america's foreign policy and national security. this agency has long enjoyed bipartisan support and works tirelessly to promote peace, security, and development around the world all for less than 1% of our budget. by preventing conflicts that could threaten the u.s., responding to the spread of deadly families, strengthening democracies and improving economies so we have new trade par

rosen: mr. president, nevadans sent me to the senate to stand up and fight for hardworking families throughout our state. and that's whacked why i'm here today, to sound the alarm about russell vought's nomination to lead the trump administration's office of management and budget. they oversee virtually every agency in the entire federal budget. mr. vought would be a disaster if he's put in this role again. russell vought is an extremist, will betray working families, will betray your family and there's simply no other way to put it. after all, he was the main architect behind the project project agenda. you might have heard of it. but for those who don't know, project 2025 is russell vought's far-right playbook for seizing full control of the federal government. i want to repeat that. he wrote the playbook to seize full control over the federal government, our government, your government. it's filled with extreme ideas that would hurt families like yours, ideas like putting essential government
