schumer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. schumer: first a few words on just a good recent development. we just heard that sweden will be allowed to join nato, that mr.ered erdon released his hold. this will strengthen the western alliance significantly and and it shows mr. putin that the u.s. is strong and growing stronger against his aggression in ukraine. any thought that the west is giving up, any thought that the west is divided is shown to be false by today's development of sweden joining nato and of turkey relenting. this is good news against the forces of autocracy and it's very good news for a strong western alliance. i want to salute president biden who has worked so much in the foreign policy sphere as well as the domestic but speaking about the foreign policy sphere, he has done so much to advance united states interests. he has a real grasp of it, a real handle on it and is very effective and this is a victory for america, for the west, for freedom, and f

troy: i want to add one thing, which is schumer has this problem. it may very well be a bigger problem, but nobody talks about it. you are reading these articles every week about mccarthy is on death's door. it is not going to happen. mccarthy has been doing a good job of holding his caucus together, and nobody talks about these severe structural problems that schumer faces. i think more attention should be paid to it. ms. nellenbach: good point. both parties have divisions. it is a very interesting time for politics. it makes it hard for organizations like ours to figure out where the fault lines are, because the parties are shifting. i want to talk a little bit about that because the republican party that i grew up with, and was more in -- i will just say it was more of the corporate republican party. the business party. we are now sort of trending more towards the populist end, which had been the democratic side of things. those are two very different views of the world. i'm just curious if you had any thoughts on how we are going to reconcile th

the leading democrat in congress, the senate majority leader chuck schumer has called on the us foodigate the high caffeine content of prime and how it's being promoted online. our na business correspondent michelle fleury is watching this story from new york. what more can you tell us about prime and what this investigation means? there are two youtube stars, who used to be causing a fuss. the fda has been called to investigate the drink that has become really a sensation with young kids and they are calling for this investigation because it contains high levels of caffeine, one bottle contains 200 mg of caffeine, that's like consuming half a dozen cans of coca—cola or nearly two cans of red bull. that's where lawmaker chuck schumer comes in because he is concerned about the potential health risks to kids from consuming that much caffeine. there are already schools in the us and australia that have banned the string from their premises. the company that is behind prime have labelled the drink is not recommended for kids under 18, they point out that they sell an alternative, prime p

senator schumer says it is all about transparency and removing the mystery that surrounds these objects. just recently, there has been an increase in conspiracy theories and speculation, ever since the pentagon released videos from the navy which showed what they called unidentified aerial phenomena. the department of defense has reported receiving hundreds of reports of ufos, but at least half appear to be drones or balloons officials have stressed that they have no evidence of any alien activity this new effort by senator schumer, which has bipartisan support, would set up a review board that would help push for disclosure while also protecting sensitive information. it would be modeled of a the review board that has released documents about the kennedy assassination. the release of any information could be held back for national security concerns, but a timeline would be established to make the material public senator schumer plans to introduce this as an amendment to the annual defense policy bill and there's also support for this in the house where lawmakers there just included a n

host: chuck schumer on capitol hill on wednesday. i want to pick up on the erosion of the middle class due to artificial intelligence. do you see that happening? guest: what is powerful about ai, i've mentioned how we already use these tools. i think senator schumer is correct to point out the trans-formative effect of the potential, including to the workforce. in many ways, i think the early concerns about automation in factories and manufacturing did directly impact blue-collar workers. these language models are aimed more at content critters so it is more white-collar workers who will have the opportunity to transform their jobs with this technology. i say that with an optimistic bend because i think these tools are powerful in enabling individuals to create sophisticated, complex image and video and text content. that means that many of us can express ourselves in ways maybe we have not been able to before in art. and there is the chance to streamline the most boring parts of our work and become more productive. there was a study

i saw chuck schumer there too. was with told me that chuck schumer went over to her and said tell manchin to get it out of his head. he's not going to run. get it out of your head. and she said well, why, maybe he does want to run. no, it's not happening. and you look at that comment and i was really struck, why is chuck schumer telling joe manchin to stand down but it's the same sentiment when you talk to people like rfk junior. he's being told stop it. get out of the way. there will be no debating. so the democrat leadership has their guy and that's it. >> yeah. and i think they're making a big mistake, like not having debates. that means the first time biden will actually have to be in a debate is with a republican. so they're softening him up now but they're not preparing him for the big fight. i think it's a big mistake. they're obviously trying to rig the process so that biden sails through without any problems. maria: that's right. >> but i'd say it's also not joe biden's fault that the heavyweight candidate

leader schumer has taken some important steps forward and we look forward to seeing where the senate lands on this issue. speaker mccarthy and myself have convened several bipartisan briefings on the issue of artificial intelligence to try to establish a collective baseline of knowledge and information that would provide for an opportunity for the house to move in an informed and enlightened way, to both allow artificial intelligence to thrierve as a technology in areas where it can improve the conditions of humankind and reason to believe in certain areas such as health care innovation and breakthroughs that that could be the case while at the same time making sure there are guardrails in place to mitigate the downside of artificial intelligence potentially being used by bad actors throughout the world. reporter: in the oversight committee, you have been critical of republicans for bringing up conspiracy theories and investigations that lack any evidence or any justification in your words. but yesterday, the two witnesses were experienced civil servants and they don't have any polit

senator chuck schumer announced proposing a bennett day. age of 96. >> whether you met tony or you listened to tony or whether you are young, old or in betw ev knew tony been bennett, and you know he cared about you and he cared about the words of the song. >> schumer said he reached out to former house speaker, nancy pelosi, who plans to put a similar resolution on the floor of the house to honor him on his birthday. he was born in new york, but he will forever be linked to california. our journalist was there as his long-time drummer paid his respect and shared stories about the legendary singer. head to nbcbayarea.com/digitaloriginals. >>> and then cpr can save lives, including his own. hamlin was there alongside some of the staff members that saved his life back in january. today was part of damar's chasing, and i will never forget that moment looked like he was lost and then he ran back. >> good to see that he's possibly playing football again. >> yeah. >> just around the corner. 49ers first practice is on wednesday. right now we're ta

the leading democrat in congress, the senate majority leader chuck schumer has called on the us foodoted online. our na business correspondent michelle fleury is watching this story from new york. what more can you tell us about prime and what this investigation means? this is a drink made by youtube stars paul logan and ksi, both used to causing a stir, but this time the fuss is over their neon coloured drink, prime energy. the us food agency fta has been called to investigate the drink which is popular with young kids and over this is over its high levels of caffeine. to put it in context, one bottle contains 200 mg of caffeine, like consuming half a dozen cans of coke or two cans of red bull. that's where lawmaker chuck schumer comes in, he is concerned about the potential health risks from kids consuming that much caffeine. several schools in the uk and australia have already banned the drink. the company behind prime have labelled it not for children under 18, they point out that they sell an alternative called prime —— hydration. that contains a zero caffeine but chuck schumer

i'm grateful to senator schumer, leader schumer for doing this, but that's not the way it should happen. and at the rate we are going, even if you decided to give floor time to every single one, there's not enough for time to get through all of these nominees, never mind doing the other business of the nation. and we are in very close contact with our colleagues in the dod working through this, and certainly there's been a lot of focus on the nominees and that too is absolutely detrimental to our national security. placing mention israel in egypt, jordan and lebanon wouldn't have this? has the white house nominated the replacement? >> it's really important to put this into perspective. it never should have been necessary in the first place, the only reason it became necessary is because russia invaded ukraine and decided to blockade the ports and prevent ukraine from sending rain around the world -- grain around the world, as a has done for years. as a result of that, turkey, the united nations, secretary-general negotiated this arrangement to allow the grain and other food products to

senator schumer had previously called for comprehensive legislation to address ai.said the purpose is to learn how we are using and investing in ai to protect our national security and learn what our adversaries are doing in ai. 2 pga tour officials went before a senate panel to defend the u.s. golf tour's decision to merge with the liv golf tour. it raised concerns in washington about lawmakers wary of the human rights concerns. senater richard blumenthal who cochaired the hearing had this to say. >> today's hearing is about more than a game of golf. it is about how a brutal, repressive regime can indeed take over a cherished american institution. to cleanse its public image. a regime that has reportedly killed journalists, jailed and tortured dissidents, fostered the war in yemen, and supported other terrorist activities, including the 9/11 attack on our nation. it is also about hypocrisy. how vast sums of money can reduce individuals to betray their own values and supporters, or perhaps reveal a lack of values from the beginning. it is about other sports and inst
