mr. cassidy was among the gop senators who voted to convict mr. trump for incitement of insurrection. "i don't think it's appropriate. we are a nation of laws. those folks were convicted." he said on meet the press. thoughts on the impact of that statement by the senator? guest: cassidy is sort of a rare republican senator who has spoken out against president trump. while most of the republicans in both the house and senate have aligned themselves we endorsed the former president in his quest to return to the white house. and so, we are seeing that play out in the race to succeed senate minority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky. we have john cornyn, senator john thune, of south dakota, as well as senator barrasso of wyoming aiming for the number two spot, all endorsing president trump. it seems that if you want to remain a player in the party, if you want to hold a leadership position, as speaker mike johnson does in the house, you have to rally behind the current nominee, former president donald trump. host: a twitter user who watches this prog

thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator cassidy? although we have a little exercise, we got a lot of questions so i will ask you to be tight with your questions. i totally agree with you. i was in a hospital for the uninsured. folks ron johnson decent pay. i agree with that entirely. there is a little bit of confusion in what you are saying and i want to put out that confusion. when to work more money, if you just cut them down to 32 hours a week, they are still making the same money so for them to grow their income, they would have to either work overtime and/or take a second job. and yes, there's companies that work 24/7 but the people don't work 24/7. they work 40 hours a week or 41.3 hours per week. so i think we have to be kind of clear on that and lastly, of course, productivity is not more hours to make the same money. productivity is more work per hour and it's oftentimes aided by machines in which case there's less wear and tear on the body, not to say that there's not wear-and-tear on the ■@body. we think of construction

cassidy, memos of the committee. it is indeed a distinct honor to come back before this committee again. i had great experiences here working with fritz mondale, ted kennedy, and angus king and i used to go out for an adult beverage with this committee. so thank you again for having me back. i am appearing here on behalf of the hr policy association. we represent approximately 10% of the private sector workers in this country who are corporate members. i like to start the discussion about mandating 32 hours, over eight hours, oese are concepts e consequences. this proposal only works if you reduce eight hours of work week and have the workers have the same level of productivity that they had at 40rs. it just doesn't work in many industries. it doesn't work ecom't work ope. what we have is what i call a productivity gap where we have work that is not yet getting done for the 32 hour workweek situation. how do you feel that productivity gap? as you cassidy, the inflationary impact of this type of proposal is considerab
