. >> thank you, senator. so in terms of the threat from isis, which you're absolutely right, remains a significant counterterrorism concern for us, most of the attacks that you're talking about globally taken on by isis have actually occurred by parts of isis that are outside of afghanistan. in afghanistan, there still remains an isis concern. it is one where ironically, the taliban has actually also concerned about it, because the isis group that is in afghanistan is in fact going after the taliban, and so this is a place where actually, the taliban has taken action against that group in ways that are consistent with our also concerns and interest. so that is one piece. >> we'll leave this program here for live coverage of the hearing on artificial intelligence. you can continue watching if you go to our website cspan.org. we continue now with a senate hearing on digital replicas and artificial intelligence. >> i open that hearing with the debut of a new ai generated song aiai, a riff on frank sinatra's new

senator sanders: thanks very much. senator cassidy? >> i yield to senator braun. >> thank you before i got here, 37 years spent running an enterprise that would encompass that scrappy navigation of how hard it is when you are signing the front side of a paycheck to get a little business to ever get beyond that. as we grew into a regional and then national company, things change as you evolve and we have had discussions before. i am a proponent of high wages and good benefits. i have been out there to where we want to be able to negotiate and bargain but there is such a big difference in terms of that dynamic and then wrapping it with mandates. that would never enable most of what comprises our economy which would be small businesses, mainstream ones to be in a position to where they would have to live with some type of homogenous approach to maybe even what we are talking about and i think even for most business owners, if they can, they are going to weave that into what they are able to offer their employees. and we have had the conve

so a high ranking republican senator who after in middle of the senate trial, told a small group of republicans in the caucus room, you know, i think i have to vote for conviction. so clearly guilty of these things. and the other senators in the conversation said, no, no, no, you can't do that. think about what could happen to your wife? think about what could happen. your kids and this senator decided they were right. and his rationale was there are too many trump supporters with guns in my state for me to, vote for conviction. so i don't think he actually these conversations with him were where i learned about just deeply embedded in the psychology of elected officials and especially republicans is this fear of political violence from their own constituents. i i don't know, you know, how long a democracy like ours, a pluralistic society, can sustain itself when elected officials are making decisions based on fear, physical violence from their constituents. but i think it's one of the defining questions this era. absolutely. yeah. well. we have time for one more question, but i just want to ma

the you joe joe biden in the senate. you know i knew biden in the senate. i certainly observed as vice president. did you expect the joe biden that went big to go big? no. and part of this book tries to explain why he went big. and i think there are three reasons. and the analogy with roosevelt is very interesting in this regard. so the first reason was that that he inherited a crisis the same way that roosevelt inherited a crisis. you may recall that campaigned on a balanced budget. he attacked herbert hoover from the right. hoover was spending much money and it wasn't until roosevelt took office and realized desperate the national situation was that roosevelt started governing on the need for massive public outlay and some deficit spending. and i think biden, who'd been a, you know, a fairly conventional moderately liberal democrat all of his career obama's vice president, takes office at a moment when the covid crisis and the covid recession are requiring very substantial outlay. and so he pivots. he uses the moment he rises to the occasion. but there ar
