murphy: i had an interesting conversation with a business owner in connecticut. she wanted to talk to me about her real concerns about twitter banning the president. she did not condone what happened at the capital but did not like that his free speech was being curtailed. we had a conversation in which i explained to her the way in which you unravel the first amendment is by passing legislation that tells private companies what speech they have to put up online and what speech they do not have to put up online. twitter is a private company. it is absolutely up to them as to what content they put up on their website and what they don't. if people do not like that, then they should not use twitter. they should go use a competing platform. in some ways that is what happens. twitter decided to take down the president for incitement of violence. that lead to other social media platforms gaining business. that is how the free market works. the first amendment protects my right to say what i want but it also protects companies' abilities to decide what speech they endo

the chief justice is oliver ellsworth of connecticut. he is ill and adams is rushing to replace him before the jeffersonians take over the presidency and the congress. he initially asks john jay to take the job as chief justice. he was an important early federalist. but john jay looked at the supreme court and said no, i do , not want to go back there. the institution does not have energy or influence. the early justices even have to go on horseback, hearing cases throughout the united states. in many ways, it was a very unpleasant mission so he did not want to take it up again. so adams turned to his own political ally, moderate federalist john marshall, his secretary of state. we get a great quote from adams. he says " my gift to john marshall to the people of the united states was the proudest act of my life." without a doubt, john marshall was the perfect man at the perfect moment for this institution. we have the peaceful transfer of

>> well, first of all, the good news for connecticut, we will not need broad-based tax increases. we won't need them now or for the foreseeable future we have a rainy-day fund well over $3 billion. but are you right. i mean, one thing we have learned in covid, we got to see what's going on across the borders and we see sports betting, you see igaming and you see marijuana. marijuana is legal up in massachusetts. legal in new jersey. soon to be legal in new york so i don't want to surrender that market, a, to out of state and even worse, i don't want to surrender it to the underground market, which is so dangerous. so that's something i will ask the legislature to look at seriously in this upcoming session. >> all right governor lamont, thank you for
