Senator Dave McCormick was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream this weekend to discuss topics including artificial intelligence.

The Senator also defended President Trump’s policy of attacking drug boats to keep the US safe from narco trafficking.

“Is there going to be bipartisan action on comprehensive legislation at the national level with respect to regulating AI?” Bream asked.

“I think we have to start with what’s happening is the biggest thing that will happen in our lifetimes. It’s like the industrial revolution on steroids,” McCormick said.

“The consequences of leadership have huge benefits for America, whether it’s solving diseases, or huge advances in nuclear fusion or advanced manufacturing,” Senator McCormick continued.

“It also is deeply connected to our military, so the leader in AI in the world will also have leadership in military capability, and so that’s why this battle with our major adversary China is so critical,” McCormick explained.

“This is the critical contest of our time, so we need to have a regulatory framework that allows innovation,” McCormick continued.

Bream turned the conversation to foreign policy and asked Senator McCormick about Venezuela.

“Is this about something more than the drug trafficking?” Bream asked about President Trump’s Truth Social comments about closed airspace above Venezuela.

The Senator explained the importance of protecting America by destroying the drug cartels and securing the border.

“We have a war that is coming through fentanyl, through opioids, through cocaine,” McCormick said.

“When President Trump was running, he and I both campaigned on the same thing, which was secure the border, designate the cartels as narco terrorists, and use our military in a strategic, focused way, to destroy this cartel infrastructure,” McCormick continued.

“This use of military in a very targeted way, there is lots of precedent,” Senator McCormick said.

“We saw 500 missions of drones. The use of military force under Obama. So, this question of whether the military can be used in this way I think has been established,” McCormick explained.
