the state and local level but it's indicative -- you know, we fundamentally believe, as do many of you all today in public-private partnerships and it's exhibited with this osac members in the department of state. we would not be in these buildings without our partnership at the local level. this mutually beneficial partnership ensures the timely exchange of information and mitigates security risks abroad. much like all of you, at amazon, we view security as paramount. it is not just a priority but core to everything we do. we recognize no single organization can have a complete picture of the global security landscape. that's why partnerships like osac are critical. by bringing together expertise from public and private sectors, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the threats and how to mitigate them, and events like the osac annual briefing provide the opportunity to learn, share best practices and collectively improve security capabilities, and i'm competent we can enhance our ability to protect our organizations and contribute to global security. it's now my honor to introduce this morning's keynote speaker, the 71st united states secretary of state, antony blinken.

that agency, once it's gone, once federal, once president trump gets rid of that department, states willvate. states will be able to teach students about patriotism and love for country. states will be able to solve their problems instead of having it forced down to them by dc. when dc bureaucrats don't have a clue on how to educate our young people. >> well, i assume you're speaking about in part, the office of civil rights in the us department of education that enforces title nine and requirements and of course, there has been a lot of litigation with the extent and the scope of that particular title but given and just hearing how you feel, the department should be eliminated. do you have you had a conversation with the president elect, donald trump about your role in a potential department that could be eliminated, but your role as potentially a secretary look, that's a question for the transition team and president trump is going to pick the person he thinks is best. >> and i know that he's going to pick someone who will eliminate that department and bring back the america first agen

it's got to be the department of state as part of what i would say in office of campaign and the efforts we are doing to protect so i spent several years on the committee that oversees the department and there's a lot to criticize just because problems in the state does it mean you turnout, you fix it. we needed now more than ever, except, don't throw out. >> every time we talk about free speech in the united states of china, russia and iran where but i sat. i know for a fact when we sanction from russia during the united states, specific voices in the end of the free speech in the united states and understand it will resonate with people here and that is what rising free speech here, making sure we do not have global engagement. one of the best strategies is to put russia on the defense or the voice of america the resources defending ourselves and instead of attacking democracy. >> if you have questions, let me know. i want to ask about the range of what we are seeing. what we can do to push back, what can we do as a country? >> probably fund and the global engagement center. we do need

in july of 2020, we released a report under the auspices of new york state department of health that blamed nursing home employees rather than your directive. your spokesperson describe this report as peer-reviewed. i am not sure if he understands the peer review process. an effective response required a willingness to adapt to evolving data. to new information. it will be required for the next pandemic as well. it's important to review the data from actual data to recognize the dangerous consequences of your directive. a directive that is considered by many medical professionals to be malpractice. you wrote in your book that it wasn't your "place to filter or edit the truth". but it's clear it seems to become one place. you said who cares, but we do care about this truth. because it is obvious that you don't. like the out of facility deaths. the truth matters. that's why we are here today. to try to account for your actions without naming and blaming others as you have repeatedly done. since we need to help america be prepared for the next pandemic. and to protect american life. and
