bob anders, the senior fellow in the group. gray hair, he looked like a diplomat. and we have never heard him talk since it happened. since somebody said, bob, tell us a little bit about going to the airport, what you're the directer, what did you do? what did tony do. what did they tell you to do. do you remember what he said? no. [laughter] >> bob anders said -- it was fun. and mind you, his life is on the line here. truly. he said it was kind of fun. this hollywood thing was kind of fun. and tony knew they would choose the hollywood cover, they didn't want to be nutritionist, they didn't want to be oil technicians, and they didn't want to be schoolteachers in a country where the schools and the american schools have been shut down for six months. but hollywood, who doesn't want to pretended and who's not able to pretended to be hollywood? bob anders said, we had been confined for three months, and my hair was really long. this is 1979. they got a blow-dryer and blew it back, and he said you should are -- i looked great.

bob anders said we have been confined for three months. and my hair was really long.his was 1979 to so they have to blow dry and they bloat his hair back and he said, he said i looked great. there was a shirt that was two sizes too small and i unbuttoned to the this is bob, not me biggies like 80 something a. he said i have all this here at my chest that really looked good. i pulled my jogging, a lot of cologne. a trench coat over my shoulders the esa tony sent my walk was little effeminate. bob anders wanted a house guest who said it was fun. it was fun and skipping from tehran. and that part i think the genius of this story, tony picked it because he knew they could all get into it on some level. they could pretend to be the eccentric hollywood type. and he thought he could save their lives, and they could save their lives. >> it's an amazing story. you're probably not going to read another story like this about the u.s. government work. the cia likes this story. they preferred to the matt damon crazy a thousand stories that are all the rage. the cia may show this m

>> anders, i think that's all yours. >> i think so. i fully agree. think your is wasting a lot of resources --, europe is wasting a lot of resources and attention by attacking big american tech companies for dominating the european market. europe should do much more itself in a positive and constructive way. because the risk is if europe is focusing on attacking big american tech companies without having any alternative itself, and europe doesn't, then we are weakening the whole, what i will call the whole democratic alliance, tech alliance, to counter the autocracies. so i think that's the overall strategic mistake. so i fully agree. we should cooperate instead of confronting each other. on the data privacy issue, i would say my advice to american tech companies would be to be at the forefront when it comes to the data protection. you should realize that for historical reasons the protection of personal data is an essential issue in europe. in germany, for obvious reasons, in eastern europe for similar obvious reasons. people are very much concerned

in the case of anders behring breivik illustrates this possibility.according to his online manifesto, he spent nine years methodically planning his attacks. in detail he explained how he procured firearms and stored caches of weapons. but all the while he evaded suspicion from authorities. for the first part of his attack, he placed a bomb that exploded at the offices of the prime minister. the second part of his attack was a shooting spree at a summer camp where labor party leaders said the children are in all total 77 were killed in the attack. presumably the attacks were intense to send a message that he disapproved of norway's liberal immigration policies. and the new media figure very prominently in his campaign have too. shortly before he began his attacks, he uploaded an electronic book on the internet called 2083, a european declaration of independence. and in addition he upload a video on youtube that was titled the knight templar 2082. and the video contained numerous references to the islamic threat to europe interspersed with these iconic

i must thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, especially the chairs ander ranking members and their staff, the past few days have been filled with drama. the past few hours were no exception. i know a few of my republican friends still harbor reservation about voting for this legislation. but when there is a crisis of this s magnitude, the private sector cannott. solve it, individuals even with bravery are not powerful enough to beat it back. government is the only force large enough to stop the bleeding and begin the healing. this is a time when the american people need their government. this is what we were elected for, we swear to the constitutional, it means ween mt protect the general welfare of the people. so let us marshall this government into action, there's millions of americans watching us right now at home on their televisions, separated from friends and family, fearful for their children and their likelihoods, unsure of when the time will come when our lives will return to normal. let us tell them tonight that help is on the way, they are not truly alone, this cou

associate attorney general because of her long-standing apparently deeply held philosophy on the use ander proper application of government power.an when the federal government engages in actions that threaten the privacy rights of innocent americans, ms. brandt has advocated nonaction. i believe that the united states must protect the privacy of her citizens. that fact is only one among many that cause me to disagree with her. but the failure to nominate and appoint an independent special prosecutor will lead me to oppose all of the nomination that are set forth by this administration, including anyone nominated for the fbi and, i think, it should now be clear that if it was not before, thatn it is necessary for a special prosecutor.n parallels have been drawn by members of both sides of the aisle to the watergate scandal.d to this day, we do not know whether president nixon ordered the watergate break-in or simply was a beneficiary of the crime. just as we don't know now whether donald trump colluded with russians interference in the 2016 election or simply benefited from russia's crimin

but with small-town newspapers ander media outlets fading away, more and more of the american people rely on facebook, google and other internet platforms to get their information. and they have, i believe become deaf active public form. so i agree that we do need to address a section 230 the act of the president has pointed out. the president has also has a point about the commission to renamed military bases it's part of the defense authorization act. unfortunately the amendment those adopted in the armed services committee undermines the role m of congress once the commission makes its report to do as congress believes should be done. but the truth is, as we have learned from our friends across the pond in the uk, no parliament and indeed note congress combined future congress that is true. so if these are things president believes we should address and members of the congress and the new administration believe we should address, we will address them. we haven't opportunity to do that. but we should not try to do that on this bill and risk the loss of this important peace of legis
