what it did do in section four itn gave the to the department f justice the power to track and monitor other crimes. those are speech acts the department of justice said could include speech and i think it is a mistake to give the government the poweriv to define speech and track and monitormo and collect it.ct with the patriot act we look at 20 years ago where we gave the government all kinds of power to monitor speech to track it and in some instances to criminalize it. we are still living with it. those powers are supposed to be limited. senator i have to say as someone that's been covering your positions on these issues it does seem like in that area you do want to give the government more power when it talks about having the companies prove to the ftc whether that politically neutral to get section 230 immunity so it seems like some of these are a bit inconsistent. i want to move on. i don't think the government should be regulating. i think we need more free speech, not less. i think the problem in the tech companies is they censor on the basis ofer the political viewpoints and t

one of the cause, and process was that is kind of speech which i thought was right when they took itn down the statute and e said that it's a given that we have to struggle with calhoun's towering legacy but we don't have to do it in the shadow of the statute. in some ways i think that's what the book is. it is my effort as a historian to say okay, let's take all of this down and the names off of the buildings but we still have a struggle in history and thele legacy. paul: i'm just going to get this one out of the way now because there must be some knowing to the both of us, i'm know what he is out there doing tonight .er wants to know there's some serious questions and it might be serious for lena but did you ever find out what calhoun thought about.

these family office is located in a downtown building in boston for itn has theuo innocuous sounding name north haven associates. on the appointed weekday afternoon i signed it with the security guard, show my drivers license when asked for, highly unusual in the early 1980s. i take the elevator to the 21st floor and ring the silver doorbell beside the office door. a receptionist leads me downin a hallway of modern filing cabot to d's office. the stands up from a danish modern teak desk to welcome with it on the cheek but her hair is pulled back she's wearing glasses for the first time since i have met her. which she places on her desktop. d is probably about 70 years old. she says i have another jokee for you. she's constantly telling me jokes. she says with her now familiar grin, why don't white anglo saxon protestants engage inpl multiple partner sex's orgies? i am stunned i cannot believe i'm hearing this from her. why ice butter? too many thank you note she says. she slaps her cheek in mock astonishment. the salty humor or disarming my cartoonlike image of boston brown. even tho

. >> well, itn won't if i have anything to do withng it on the floor of the united states senate. it's been a long time since we took a vote to confirm the u.s. attorney asil opposed to voice voting. if the biden administration nominates anyone, there will be a robust and vigorous debate on the floor about thatt nominee. even iff they don't, even if thy nominate cypress without that record, i worry very much they will change policies that the u.s. attorneys had over the last four years in taking those cases from local police departments or from local sheriff departments when they know that their local prosecutor wouldn't.pr philadelphia is a great example. eric krazner would rather operate an open air drug market than prosecute crime. bills mcswain was pretty aggressive in cooperating with police departments andso sherifs departments for picking up the slack. there's no substitute for local prosecutors, but that was one way to mitigate the harm for these prosecutors all across the country. mr. mcswain on for a manhattan event a couple of weeks ago. he walked us through some of tho

itn remains to be seen how we cn achieve kind of the full flowering of the innovation that we still needos in the private sector while imposing an expectation in the standards that go with that to ensure that the critical services can and will be delivered even under duress.. i'm a big fan of market forces as a primary to essentially drive the kmerks but we have to examine that. if confirmed, i would be happy to work with this committee and consider the problem. you, me just ask mr. inglis, how you would assess the current organizational structure around cybersecurity governance within theer federal government, thatd there's lots f agencies, dozens that are involved in cybersecurity. congress created cisa to drive coordination. is the current structure working in your view? if not, what do we need to do differently? >> thank you for the question. i think it is the question of the moment. i think that's in part why the national cyber director has been created. we wantta unity of effort and purpose. without detailed knowledge, having not been on the job, and if confirmed it will be my first

of course, as another former itn executive stuart pervis has pointed out that there was a report by timscussions with favoured candidates. do you recognise that? i do recognise that and i think sometimes you do see a particular member of the talent community who you want to bring to the bbc so, as director of sport, i brought gabby logan to the bbc and we didn't at that point even have an appointments process. we decided she was a really key star talent we wanted to work in the bbc. so i think it's better to at least try to be transparent about what you're doing that in this case it's pretty clear to me that they did want bashir for thejob. i have been in positions in the past where you do have a strong preference for a particular candidate. the problem here was, first of all, the process was deeply flawed, and secondly, they appointed someone who should never have been appointed. a lot of bbcjournalists themselves are really angry about this, roger, angry about what this investigation has revealed. how damaging you think it was not been to trust in the bbc? it is very damaging indeed a
