saw through recent takedowns facebook announced, some of this activity is not just aimed at influencing people's attitudes online, but compelling action off-line. there was an organized effort to organize rallies, but it wasn't americans trying to organize those rallies it was russians, sitting over in russia, and searching themselves into our politics and not disclosing that's who they were. that's very similar to activity we saw in 2016. host: jamie, what is the motivation behind wanting to do this by foreign entities? attemptsis is foreign to interfere in american politics, and they go back to our founding, essentially. [crowd cheering] hello,esident obama: california. [crowd cheering] hey. hello, california.

they're still trying to influence people through social media.ere is what sheryl sandberg said earlier today about cracking down on that. >> the threat we face is not new. america has always confronted attacks from determined, well-funded opponents who want to undermine our democracy. what is new is the tactics they are using. to stay ahead we all need to work together. everyone here today know this is an arms race. >> so the hearing taking place here in the house with mr. dorsey from twitter is about the, whether or not twitter is censoring political speech. there is the issue with the man from info wars. but there is also the bigger issue which is, will there be regulation. on the senate side, trish, as i wrap up, it sure looks like regulating social media is coming this way, when the republican chairman of the senate intelligence committee says, look, it might be time to regulate. let's have an honest discussion about that. back to you. trish: thank you very much, adam. we are not for a lot of regulation. we have a problem here. we have a prob

so we're going to keep on making music, regardless if it influences people or it don't.t a quantification on it. it's not something you can measure. you're looking at a situation that resembles a war zone. that's what it is. week after week, something is happening. and it is having an untold negative impact, psychological impact, emotional impact on us. so what is the solution to ending the violence? sharon, a mother on the brandon estate, thinks the answer can come from within the community. we all have a part to play. if you haven't lost a child, that doesn't mean you have to wait to lose a child. and rhyhiem was right on my doorstep, and could have been my son. hello, sweetheart. sharon is rallying local parents to set up an action group. this is basically trying to get the mothers and anyone who really cares together. my number's at the bottom. all right, and we'll arrange a meeting of some sort. let's start talking, let's sit down as parents. this is what i said to people, but they're not listening. i don't have the answers to everything. ijust know that i want some

elections by influencing people of on facebook and twitter. two, they are considering regulations to deal with the censorship of political voices on these platforms. that's why they hauled in sheryl sandberg as well as mr. dorsey. google did not show up. google declined the invitation. jack dorsey was talking about the issue of trying to keep the platform. i know people hate his phrase, but i'm going to it's, a safe place for an exchange ideas and to keep russians out. >> we are proud of how that free and open exchange has been weaponnized and used to distract and divide people and pour nation. we found ourselves unprepared and ill equipped for the immensity of the problems we acknowledged. reporter: facebook talking about the immensity of what they have done since the 2016 election to kick off fake accounts. they say they have to make it easier for people who use facebook to know who they are dealing with. this is what sheryl sandberg had to say. >> the threat we face is not new. america has always confronted attacks from determined opponents

but rather a book on self-improvement as a famous book by dale carnegie had a win friends and influence people. and in that book he brilliantly traveled all over the united states and ask the most successful people the secrets to their success. in that book when he is talking to a great ms. magician of his time. he ask what is the secret to your performance the greatest performer of your generation. he said simple, gratitude. every night before i go out on stage i recite this little meditation. i'm grateful because these people came to see me they make it possible for me to live in a very agreeable way. i'm going to give them the best i can. they said i love my audience. getting a lot of help early on. in this job. because gratitude and practice it really are the secret to good performance. it occurred to me that as i step on stage and i gave that same little gratitude should and love. it's really essex sincere expression. i want to take just a couple of minutes and tell you why i have so much gratitude towards you. here tonight among this group are my true intellectual heroes and some of my c

but a book on self-improvement, it's a famous book by dale carnegie, how to win friends and influence people. in that book, dale carnegie brilliantly traveled all over the united states and asks the most successful people the secrets to their success. now in abou book, when he is talking to a great magician of the time in the 1920s, he asks, what is the secret to your performance. you are the greatest performer of your generation and howard, the magician said simple, gratitude. he said every night before i go out on stage i recite this little meditation, i am grateful because these people came to see me, they make it possible for me too make my living in a very agreeable way, i'm going to give them the very best i possibly can and then right before he stepped on the stage he says i love my audience. i love my audience. that gave me a lot of help early on in this job because gratitude and practice really are the secret to good performance. i was thinking about that earlier today and it occurred to me that as i step on stage tonight and i gave that same little meditation of gratitude and love,

back to facebook, you are probably interested in working with people to use their platform to influence people and monetize that and potentially worried about the effects of regulating them, nontraditional ads is a big category. >> two areas are on top, very much struggling with where to draw the lines with what is appropriate. with the transparency tools, what is happening in the election, we are stepping to other foreign ads that might be legitimate. foreign media, can't necessarily advertise to the us unless using a us entity. and canada or mexico, often times we are in the tension where people have global conversations about issues to keep their elections within their borders and increasingly impossible to do, where do you draw those lines and is it enough to say it is around transparency and authenticity, as long as where putin is running an ad, should that be okay? we have not begun to have those conversations but in thinking about regulation i hope regulators, let's just make sure ads have disclaimers and be done with it because that is pushing on the surface of how to think about this.

meddling or the fraction of a fraction of a percent of money that was dedicated by russians to influencing people on social media, but because he had the simple ideas of enforcing our borders and ripping you have nafta. let's hope he gets some of that down. some of that done. so i cannot recommend "the resistance is futile" any more, and without further delay, the one and only ann coulter. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. i didn't promise a short speech, but since i don't get the balcony up there, i'm not going to give you an eva peron style speech. [laughter] first, i should say if you want to know what is going to happen through your life and through the world, probably the best book for that is the bible. but the second best book is "resistance is futile." [laughter] so everything that's happening, been happening today, don't worry, it's covers. -- it's covered. it's been a lot of talk about unindicted co-conspirators today, and and i do think we have that. chuck schumer and nancy pelosi for the death of mollie tibbetts, i think, are fully unindicted co-conspirators. as for michael cohen an

they want their influence to turn everything to the left. we the people of the united states are sick and tired of this idea of socialism, and we are not going to take it anymore. host: unless money are the russians spending on this campaign? jamie, we will go to you. guest: we do not know the full extent. he internet research agency was spendin on a certain phrases, but we do not know if that was the full extent. it is low-cost, so looking at the dollar amount is not necessarily the way you judge .mpact they discovered a tool that is incredibly low-cost that has an outside impact. that is one thing. the other thing, what laura was talking about earlier, the financial activity, we are only beginning, outside researchers, to start to dig into the, and we have no understanding of the full oe extent. it has been a tool he have effectively used often, again, for relatively small amounts of money. other authoritarians, like china, are honing into this tool as well, investing into certain sectors in the u.s. that is something we need to watch. so we do not have

but a book on self improvement and its famous book by dale carnegie and how to win friends and influence people. in the book dale carnegie brilliantly traveled all over the united states and asked the most accessible people the dinner and irving kristol award. were here tonight with secrets of their success. in the book when he's talking to a great magician of the time in the 1920s, our thirst and he said what is the secret to your performance. you're the greatest performer of your generation and howard thurston with the magician said simple. gratitude. he said every night before i go out on stage i recite this meditation. i am grateful because these people came to see me. they make it possible for me to make my living in a agreeable way and i'm going to give them the very best i possibly can and then right before he stepped out he says i love my audience. i love y audience. that gave me a lot of help early on in this job because gratitude and practice are the secret to good performance but i thought about that earlier today and it occurred to me that as i step on stage night and give that same

foreign agent registration act, right now you have -- it's too easy for people to be foreign influencers without having to register as such. then naming and shaming as we've seen in kind of some of these occasions that hopefully it will make people think twice about engaging in kind of questionable activities. in the back of their mind they think, not sure who this is, what this is really about, whether or not maybe ask a few extra questions where they could ask, why is this person really reaching out to me or setting up these trips with me to moscow and beijing or whatnot. what's really happening here? so it's some of these name and shame kind of, you know, press is doing is important in highlighting some of these cases. on the china front, on the russia front, but also rules and regulations to make it harder for foreign agents to operate without having to declare as such. >> what do you think about reintroducing the rules of reciprocity? because a lot of what has gone on wasn't allowed in the '60s and '70s. we had very -- when you were doing diplomacy, economic exchanges, you had rules

and there's the foreign agent registration act, right now it's too easy for people to be foreign influencers without having to register at such and then naming and shaming as we've seen in some of these cases that , hopefully will make people think twice about engaging in these kind of questionable activities that may be in the back of their mind, they say they're not sure who this is or what this about. they are not asking a few extra questions or ask why this person is reaching out to me or setting up these trips to moscow or to beijing or whatnot, what's really happening here so some of these name and shame what the press is doing is important and highlighting some of these cases. both on the russian front but also exchanging some of our rules and regulations to make it harder for foreign agents to operate without having that. >> so what do you think about reintroducing the rules of reciprocity because a lot of what has gone on wasn't allowed in the 60s and 70s. we had very, when you were doing diplomacy or economic exchanges you had rules of reciprocity so for example, if a us firm could

about the way that the russians were trying to interact with people, the way they were trying to influence peopleesting. when you think about the mind set of cooperators, i've had clients who want to cooperate. they usually don't start out wanting to cooperate. there's a strong sense of denial of being angry, at being asked this many questions. what's important with patent's situation is we're seeing it at the tail end. we're expecting cooperation. we're going to learn more. it's important to know that long before he reaches the plea deal, there's extensive cooperation. there's debriefings and proffers by his lawyer. so at this point everything that he may have that's relevant is already known to the government. so they're already following up leads on that to see where it may take them and how valuable it may be. >> george pop lop douse, we know what he told investigators. according to court documents filed last night. here's what papadopoulos says happened after he pitched setting up a meeting between then candidate trump and vladimir putin. he says well, some in the room rebuffed george's offe

people you mentioned are all very considerable assets. it might be said, maybe i'm wrong but that history, harriet beecher stowe perhaps had more of an influence on people then baldwin at the time. and sometimes it's mediocre works of art that have the greater political impact. there are lots of great books but probably the one thing that changed most minds was the soap opera holocaust and i think the reason for that is that people can identify with characters in a soap opera whereas 6 million people murdered isan abstraction. if you watch a soap opera you start identifying with different characters but it had little to do with the quality of the art . you think that sometimes these popular expressions, that they are more effective than things that are of greater literary or cinematic? >> most of the simple or simplistic things go down and i think that one of the resistance of true artists to , part of the divided this in terms of being socially useful is that gifted artists are often defend a detachment,detachment may be necessary to make art . and so it's also that strong art, especially strong narrative art traffics in complexity which mean

have to see what this is what does this mean and actions what is he trying to will he try to influence the people here again is he going to tell them what well don't vote for the c.d.u. again is he going to say things like that or is he going to step back and really let people be a part of the society how much influence does he have this is the second part of this controversy isn't it the influence he has obviously as the leader of his own country but also long turks here before is he has a certain influence here he has like we were talking earlier the society here is divided so people that are in favor of people who see him as his as their leader of course they listen to what he's saying so it is important for these people that are supporting are to want to get this message as well so it's actually quite interesting remind us it of just looking at this needing a lot of the symbolism we're seeing the various different items on the agenda and meetings that aired on we'll have a state banquet tonight also meeting with business leaders and tomorrow he's traveling to cologne to celebrate the opening

they're still trying to influence people's minds on social media. recent information came out about how they had tens of thousands of, you know, bots and proxies talking about the affordable care act. they were trying to undermine our effort to get health care to people. why? because they know that that will continue to cause a lot of political disruption in our country. so i think i am a small part of the puzzle. i do believe that we're finding out more about how they viewed me and what they wanted to do to get me out of the way. but to get me out of the way to do what, rachel? yes, try to elect the president which apparently they succeeded at, but it was more than that. i think they play a long game. i don't know whether trump is a witting or unwitting tool of putin. i don't know that. but it's clear he is playing checkers and putin's playing three dimensional chess. putin has a very clear vision of what we wants to accomplish, and high on his bucket list is undermining democracies. and he uses money. he uses blackmail. he uses all kinds of induce

but what about other kinds, being internal factors and external factors that are influencing people. what kind of external factors were there? wondering specifically about international situations that may have played a role in truman's decision-making. >> the soviets made no sick or that they intended to exploit the military as an embarrassment to this country that considered itself democratic republic. the germans during the war had dropped leaflets, they knew who the black soldiers were. it were by all accounts an effective but mocking the soldiers for defending a country that did not give them their full rights. others has actually saying come over and fight with us. it was also an effective. but it was a growing concern as the world settled into the cold war. those concerns were brought to president truman not just by the military advisers but by his state department advisers. his conclusion was in his words, the top dog in a world that is have colored are to get its own house in order. international considerations did play into the decision to desegregate the military. >> what

their weaknesses you have a guy like elon, super creative super persuasive he obviously can influence people's doing. i worry that he is so persuasive no one can say no to him he's in an echo chamber and everyone is agreeing with what he is saying and no one is giving him resistance. the book we wrote, "the dichotomy of leadership," is about balance. you can't be extreme as a leader you can't. >> so the board of tesla brings you in they say help us out here. we are afraid to stand up to him. he's a genius, we know that. what do you say to the board >> i would say let's get some -- i don't want to say reins. you don't want to rein in the creative part. >> that's part of why the company is successful. >> at the same time some of that stuff, it's too much so we got to rein in some of the stuff too much, get him focused, bring him inside the box so the company is more squared away >> john, are you buying tesla? >> you know i did last night i did it on the dip. >> i don't know if you did, you said you were going to there's a different between i'm thinking about it versus i did it >> true. if i'm

and influence people in the opposite direction. >> certainly. i think that's always the risk.ink because this is a midterm election, usually have the highest propensity, the most dedicated, partisan voters come out there. you got both side sort of entrenched. in a lot of these races, a lot of these campaigns, they are talking to their own side. they are saying "can we get our people out there? we need more of our people out there to defeat their people." and you really aren't talking to that middle- of-the-road swing voter, because of the midterm election. because you have lower voting rates across the country. >> melissa: we mentioned joe biden as well. is has roll out there that he thinks he's going to run in 2020? you want to stay out of the chair? what if a question mark >> [laughs] i think his role is different. of course he's thinking about running for president. i think he has already come out and said he regrets not speaking out earlier, charlottesville was the time in the moment where he couldn't hold his talent and longer. look, a lot of candidates like and vice pres

well connected russians worked aggressively to recruit or influence people inside the trump campaign. scott shane is a national security reporter for "the new york times". he co-wrote this comprehensive look back on the evolution of the relationship between president trump and putin and my dear friend malcolm nance is the author of both "the plot to hack america" and "the plot to destroy democracy." scott, stunning piece, bravo to you. what work. walk me through this massive caug caug cadre of information. walk me through your report. >> the thing that struck me and my colleague as we started to reconstruct this story, which has come out, you know, over many months in dribs and drabs is the simultaneous things going upon. first, the russian attack. the hack, the leaking, the fake accounts on social media. then these sort of mysterious outreaches to various trump associates. that seemed to get into high gear just as candidate donald trump was emerging from the pack and becoming, you know, the likely nominee in the spring of 2016. so when you go back and look at the time line, you see l

. >> his daughter, ivanka, doesn't have the influence people wish she had.k his wife melania does, and certainly jared kushner does not. so there is no one in donald trump's orbit who can actually exert any gravity on him. >> reporter: tonight, former trump lawyer, john dowd, denies referring to the president as a liar and dowd says that he never said that the president was likely to end up in an orange jumpsuit. president trump himself is denying that gary cohn ever stole papers from his desk, and says that woodward has produced, quote, just another bad book. trump's press secretary, sarah sanders, says the woodward book is, quote, nothing more than fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees told to make the president look bad. wolf? >> brian, how have the president's aides been at managing his tweets? >> wolf, according to woodward's accounts and previous cnn reporting, not very good at all. woodward says that trump's national security leaders warned him that twitter could, quote, get us into a war. they tried to form a twitter committee to v

well-connected russians worked aggressively to recruit or influence people inside the trump campaign.spected russian agents, including oligarchs, diplomats, former military officers and shadowy intermediaries had dozens of contacts during the campaign with mr. trump's associates. here's the gut punch. a former cia station chief in moscow tells the times the russians aren't reckless and i don't see them going through with this effort without thinking they had a willing partner in the dance. joining us now, former u.s. ambassador to russia, michael mcfall. i read this this morning and thought of you. eager for your thoughts and reaction. >> well, it was a fantastic piece. i applaud mark and scott shane for doing it. you know, for me, to be honest, i read it and there was nothing new for me. i've been following this story for a long time. but what they did is they separated the trees from the forest and reminded us of the forest. i think sometimes in the day-to-day, the drip, drip, drip that we have on the russia investigation. the overfocus on the word collusion. whoever did that needs

which -- and buy influence, which doesn't look traditional like a video or banner ad, but border some of the ways in which campaigns are using techniques? putting things up higher on peoples' radar screens or using others to influence their friends? things that maybe do not have corollaries. what are some of the things you would say are trends that ad-like an part of campaigns but do not look like traditional ads? >> i would say it is important to step back and understand that social media platforms in particular are where people are getting this disinformation and where they are communicating with their friends, sharing photos with family, really living a lot of their lives on these pot forms day today. a today.se platforms the same sort of strategies and tactics that have been deployed for everign advocacy are going to translate online, as well as off. so organizing communities, organizing friends and neighbors to get out to vote and register, etc. that behavior will also exist online in a way that is not advertising. when we talk about digital organizing, it is about building a facebook group, or having a text,f emails, or a group and you are able to communicate with m

facebook, one, you're probably interested in working with people who want to use your platform to influence people and monetize that. on the other hand you're potentially worried about the effects and regulating them and stuff. nontraditional ads, that is a big category. but what kinds of things would you say about that? >> there are two areas that really rise to top of mind for me that we're very much struggling with where to draw the lines and what's appropriate. the first is talking about u.s. versus global and stuff like that. with our ads, with these transparency tools, we're stopping foreign interference from happening in the elections. but we're also stopping other foreign ads that might be legitimate. that means that foreign media can't necessarily advertise in the u.s. unless they're using a u.s. entity. do we allow the israeli government to advertise in the u.s? what about canada or so, if often turn to it is motivated by these other characteristics. so it is a brave new world. and thinking about government regulation, it is extremely challenging to think about, how to define the univers

so, people find things online, people find things--and the influences aren't limited to you have japan and europe. you know, people find music from the uk. and the art and the music is reflective of that. so, it's really unique. robert: i see people, though, they are kind of drawn to like, you know, a lot of diversity, especially musical influences, everything. but how does it translate when you have that many influences, how does it translate in the us? mark: well, i mean, i think it's very unique. you'll find that the music that--and that's why i was drawn to it, you know? it doesn't sound like your typical kind of radio pop songs, you know? and it's genuine, and it's honest, and every bit as cutting edge as anything you'll find. and i think, you know, definitely worthy of people, you know, giving a listen to. robert: i understand the theme, october theme is pinay. mark: yes. yes, so it's all entrepinized. entrepinaye got ruby bera, and retailers like sugar cane. an so, people like mestiza, who does awesome like adobo tacos and things like that. so, all of it--the big theme is entrep

you talk about the double v being internal and external factors that are influencing people. what kind of external factors were there? i am wondering about international situations that may have played a role in truman's decision. >> the soviets made no secret of the fact that they intended to exploit america's segregated military as an embarrassment to this country that considered itself a democratic republic. the germans during the war dropped leaflets on segregation. they had dropped leaflets that were by all accounts ineffective, but in turn mocking the soviets for depending a country that did not give them their full rights. and other times saying come over and fight with us. this by all accounts was ineffective. but it was a growing concern as the world settled into the cold war. and those concerns were brought to president truman, not just by military advisors, but by his state department. and his conclusion was, in his work, "the top dog in a world that is have colored should get its own house in order." international considerations did play into the decision to deseg

to get the nomination but he knew that because of the stevenson people and roosevelt people but they had the influenceof power and the votes jean mccarthy did make a brilliant speech but the kennedy people had the votes and they could get it and johnson could get vice president but also because sam rayburn and company said he will do it. that was that. >> going up on pennsylvania avenue during the kennedy johnson years. we got so much notoriety during the great society and not to take too much time but with that balance and. >> almost everything in the works it was proposed in one form or another and as long as it took and to go out there to press people to go on and on and within the great society was part of her program. and with that democratic landslide was crucial to get the great society of legislation through. that was because of the democratic majority and johnson was pretty persuasive. he was a master legislator with his own fbi. he would call them in to say mrs. so-and-so would be interested to know we were on that cruise with last night. do you want to reconsider your vote? >>. >> being pre

is there are legitimate concerns about the power of internet topanies and their ability influence information people do not see, but the doj statement kind of hijacked their concerns for kind of nakedly political pandering. emily: what could the doj actually do here? >> again, there are legitimate potential legal issues for these companies, particularly around issues like antitrust. we do here antitrust concerns about companies like facebook and amazon on both the left and right side of the political spectrum, and that has been this interesting convergence of two sides that do not normally agree. if you are a tech company, that should be the focus of concern, but any topic of interest for the doj, even if it does not ultimately lead to a legal crackdown, it causes political headaches for these tech companies, and they are already onhting political wars multiple fronts at multiple agencies at multiple state levels. those will some of start to bite. emily: what is your read on the hearings yesterday? the thought is that what is happening now could lead to potential legislation, but certainly not for a

consumer behavior, whether they physically come to your store or not, facebook knows they influence whether people went out and voted or not, which would seem to imply that a strong advertiser could influence someone to stay home and not vote i wasn't aware that zuckerberg thought that way wasn't that interesting to you >> it was. i want to make clear, i thought it was a great profile, thought there were great nuggets in there. to the point you raise, absolutely this is a point i made before. it is impossible for facebook to influence purchasing behavior and not voting behavior on some level, right so there are definitely a lot of good insights in there i am grateful zuckerberg made time for these things. i just think in general like the next set of questions we have to ask is what results are you getting and fixing with the platforms. >> walter, your thoughts on how the companies and certainly the rest of us are pressing the companies move the ball forward on these questions we heard prepared statements from mark zuckerberg and jack do dorsey, from cheryl sandberg what do we need to get from them

they will find a way to influence those people. >> steve: another idea is lobbying protecting the constitutionh get us inside access. equal access lobbying so everybody gets the same chance. >> this is why we need to blow up washington. 80% of the country wealth is concentrated in d.c. it's possible because they do behind the closed door deals. there taken away from the american people. the democrats pretend to be the poor man's candidate. we got your back. it's problematic. >> steve: i have to leave it there. one of the biggest issues is our school system. is it preparing our children for maximum opportunity. the answer is no. the answer is no. a big idea for putting it right this is an insurance commercial. but let's be honest, nobody likes dealing with insurance. which is why esurance hired me, dennis quaid, as their spokesperson because apparently, i'm highly likable. see, they know it's confusing. i literally have no idea what i'm getting, dennis quaid. that's why they're making it simple, man in cafe. and more affordable. thank you, dennis quaid. you're welcome. that's a prop apple. i'd

and he goes on to say that a president might be influenced by favortism to people from his own state or favortism to people in his family or family connections. or favortism because he had a friendship. or a respect for popularity triumphing over professional skills. so, for all these reasons, the senate process exists to review the record of the individual. and a determent as hamilton put it. is that individual of fit character or unfit character? now, we all here in the senate took an oath of office to uphold the constitution. and certainly that means defending and exercising our responsibility under the advice and consent clause of the constitution. we cannot interfere in the ability of the president to nominate. that is the president's responsibility. we can give our suggestions, but in the end, whatever the president says in regard to an office. whatever person the president identifies, that is the nominee and we cannot interfere in that. but so, too, then can the president not interfere in the exercise of the senate in reviewing the record of the individual. certainly the presi

colleagues, friends, young people, you all know you have a couple people who listen to you over a bunch of things. you can have a bigger influence over the people in your lives. more so than i can. more so than one rally can. for the people who are registered, you are here, focused, do not take for granted that getting a few more people registered and getting them to the polls will make a difference. because it will. it absolutely will. i say this in election after election. because so few people vote. elections increasing by precinct can be decided by 10 votes. 20 votes. i mean, really. 50 votes. presidential elections in districts are decided by 50 people who decided not to. it is that small of a margin. people feel like him him us be millions and millions of votes. no. no. when so few people get involved in the democratic process, the people who are involved have way more control over it. don't ever underestimate the power of pulling -- pooling more people into it we want you to go out there and find other people.
