hein sen. lee: thank you. professor alford, we saw actions taken by three tech giants, apple, google and amazon over a 48 hour period to take down what was then a new and somewhat promising social media platforms called parler. i don't know to what degree they were coordinating that or colluding in doing that. what i do know is all three of them took action at almost exactly the same time with near surgical precision in order to take down a much smaller company, one that, as best i can tell, did not compete with any of them. this is concerning to me. since then parler has been able to get up and operating again but badly wounded in the process and the astronomical growth they had seen until that point halted. when you hold that kind of growth it loses momentum. i am not sure where they are now growth wise but this is concerning. it raises questions in my mind. help me understand how do we distinguish between legitimate standard-setting and the quality fixing you mentioned in your testimony? prof. alford: you r

hello, senator heine, how are you?terms of the marshall islands right now and climate change, do you think adaptation is possible? the government is working on the adaptation plan and looking at building up islands is a possibility. i mean, it's going to take a lot of money that we don't have, but that might be the only options we have at this at this point. are you in the marshall islands having conversations about migration, about climate refugees, about actually moving people right now? as 2a islands with communities, and so if we were to build up islands, which island can we build up? because we cannot afford to build up all the islands? and if we were to relocate people, where do we know which islands you relocate people to? especially we have a culture where certain lands belong to certain families. so these are really hard questions. i personally would like to see my granddaughter continue to live in the marshall islands and have the same opportunities to learn our cultural protocols, that she can learn a unique

gigantic objects, test the limits of human imagination, research into them as by jim, an astrophysicist hein, hot again. so for instance, was recognized with a nobel prize in physics in 2020 but there are still many mysteries surrounding black holes. we meet an astrophysicist who wants to explore black holes using the james web space, telescope, dominica, violette, select will be among the 1st to conduct research using the new james web space telescope. her team is one of 13 that have been chosen to begin work as soon as it's up and running them an hour. thanks, matt, asking me to vegas when i start to really delve into astronomy and realized that what we see with our naked eye when we look up at the starry sky is only minute part of what is actually there. it does something to you and done with, i'm guns and i still get goosebumps when i think about it. ag, mrs. gens out and metabolic nevada. the astrophysicist is interested in super massive black holes embedded at the center of large galaxies. as they devour the material around them, they blast out powerful radiation winds. she says, these

i think that hein is telling very different story than the actual store. so record output is really good, but consumption is continuing to go up. so if you know the output, it's not going to keep pace with the consumption. then frankly, the price of oil is going to continue to go higher. so because of the demand, more importantly, rachel is the fact that there is a lot less than investment going into the ground. so even if we don't get to record prices in the near term or in the medium term, the lack of investment and there is certainly a very loud cry for this around the world that oil majors are not putting money into the ground in order to go ahead and develop oil fields, they're redirecting resources towards renewable energy. and so therefore, at some point, as you know, if you don't put money into the ground that oil stops flowing at some point. so therefore, you know, more of the medium term and into the longer term we're going to see much higher prices unless there is development capital put in, put into the industry. and i was actually going to hit

the senate, there are a lot of issues, a trump supporter, even he said when i was interviewing him, hein sounded like bernie sanders in describing thisib systemke, he thinks it's morally wrong to put so much bet on young people without them knowing what they are getting into so it was interesting to talklk about a republican who sounded like the democratic side of things so there is this sense in some of the parties that the system has problems, i don't know if they are going to agree on how to fix it but yes, the politics have shifted. >> let's talk about policy recommendations you do have in the book and i want to ask you about a couple you don't want to recommendd. >> i wanted to highlight the trade-offs of any potential fix and i think ultimately what i tried to say is schools have more skin in the game, i know it's such a clichÉ but if they share some of the risk, history shows they are probably going to be less likely to award student loans so students have the ability to repay them or at least award the amount of money if they have no ability to repay them so some type of system t

the sanctions legislation passed hein december of 2019.on december of 2019 over 90% of the pipeline waspleted. and what happened, putin stopped building the pipeline the day president trump signed that into law. the sanctions worked exactly as designed and for over a year, nothing happened. january 204th, 2021 is when putin began building the pipeline again. so we've succeeded with a bipartisan victory stopping the pipeline until they came into office and gave away the leverage and surrender. he didn't wake up and decided he wanted to invade ukraine. in 2014 he invaded ukraine and crimea but he didn't go all the way to one of the major reasons why is because of the ukrainian energy infrastructure that he couldn't risk damaging or destroying the ability to get the russian gas to europe. north stream two was launched shortly after that initial invasion. because if putin can get the means he can send the tanks and without fear. but this summer when joe biden gave away a massive bipartisan foreign policy victory, our allies, ukrainian and a pole and put out a formal statement on july 201st

hein: mr. migicovsky: e.u. -- 230 two narrow the platform. if the platform is acting in a bad scenario 10, they would not receive liability protection in those instances. how do you think or what do you think about the impact that this legislation would have if it were enacted in a law? ms. frederick: that you strip immunity when it is being abused. so if the abuses continue. then you get rid of the freedom for several liabilities when it is a be -- when it is being abused by the tech companies. rep. latta: when you go -- when you are talking 52, 53, 51 when it was conservatives to liberal viewpoints. if this is presented to the big tech companies out there, what is the response to hear from them on that? ms. frederick: so, i think people try to cover their rear ends in a lot of ways, but i think americans are waking up. rep. latta: how do they cover themselves? ms. frederick: i am sorry? rep. latta: how are they covering themselves? ms. frederick: by saying we do not do this and employing an army of lobbyists that say that we do not do this,
