jim sensenbrenner forgot to ask any of those questions.arently he still living in 2002 where tech mobile's are heroes and rigid free-market orthodoxy seems to be working. in the last election cycle, google was jim sensenbrenner's second largest donor. ask yourself, why would a left-wing company in california donate to a supposedly conservative republican and wisconsin? maybe you just saw why. before today's hearing, a transparently pro-tech memo leaked online. the memo downplays google's obvious market dominance, that's not a small thing in an antitrust debate. and then to suggest markets will magically solve political bias intact. it's simple, stop complaining. an opinion host at "the hill," he swallowed this topic for quite some time and we are happy to have them on tonight. it why don't you just start your own google? >> i don't have access to hundreds of billions of dollars in capital and the market dominance that google hasn't even if i did it's very likely that google would not allow me to ever get as big as they are. so it just goes

john lewis got with jim sensenbrenner, a republican from wisconsin, and a group of us and we worked onll and we had done what the supreme court asked us to do. and it passed the house as hr-4 and this morning, or this afternoon, i move and it got unanimous consent to rename that law the john r. lewis voting rights act of 2020, and now, this afternoon, the senate will re-introduce it with a new name. hopefully they will pass it. and send it to the president, and then to me. that will be the way to honor john r. lewis. words of great. they're sometimes meaningful, but the most meaningful thing that you could do is to put substance to those words. you know, we learned in scripture, it's not their words but their deeds that really matter. so if you love john, want to honor john, let's do something and pass this law. this law. >> congressman, you know, most folks are familiar with what happened on edmund pettus bridge in 1965, but there are not as many people that are familiar with what happened to john lewis in rock hill, south carolina. and you've talked in the past one of a few regrets y

he won't fact check it at one point during the hearing, congressman jim sensenbrenner questioned zuckerbergow donald trump jr.'s twitter account was suspended, and it was a little awkward. watch this >> it was reported that donald trump jr. got taken down for a a period of time because he put something up, the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine why did that happen? >> congressman, well, first to be clear, what i think you might be referring to happened on twitter so it's hard for me to speak to that >> jimmy: the congressman was um, what's the difference? then the congressman was twitter, right, right. so that question is for you, jeff bezos but it was a big day on capitol hill with all the most important leaders in tech appearing to testify here's what they had to say before things got started. first, apple ceo tim cook said "i'm prepared to speak to lawmakers. then facebook ceo mark zuckerberg said "i look forward to testifying. then amazon's jeff bezos said "this will shed light on what we do. then clippy, the microsoft paper clip said "it looks like you're holding a hearing for tech vips. w

congressman jim sensenbrenner of wisconsin: >> conservatives are consumers too. and the way the net t together in the eyes of congress to speak their minshould be able >> nawaz: zuckerberg pushed back: ve frankly, i think that w distinguished ourselves as one of the companies that defends free expression the most. we do have community standards around things that you can and cannot say. >> nawaz: on the other side of the aisle, congressman jamie raskin, a maryland democrat, asked what platforms are doing to combat te speech and election meddling: >> is there nothing that can be done about the use of facebook to engender social division in america? >> since 2016, there have been a lot of ste that we've taken to protect the integrity of elections. we've hired more than 30,000 people to work on safety and security. we've built up a.i. s to be able to find harmful contentl ing being able to find more than 50 different networks of coordinated inauthentic behavior. basically nation states trying to interfere in elec >> nawaz: still, there was bipartisan concern the fr

senator tom harkin, congressman tony cuelo, our current majority leader, steny hoyer, congressman jim sensenbrenner, and countless others who rallied behind this cause, including from the private sector people like justin dart. this was an extraordinary grassroots effort from around the country. the a.d.a. guaranteed that the one if four americans living with a disability have the right to learn, work and live in their communities free from description. as someone who has -- discrimination. as someone who has lived with a disability from the age of 16, i've witnessed the transformation we've made into a more accessible and inclusive society. in fact, without the a.d.a., i quite possibly wouldn't have the privilege of representing rhode island's second congressional district in the united states congress. however, our work is not yet finished. we must strengthen the promise of the a.d.a. to ensure that all people with disabilities can pursue the life that they choose . accessible transportation, comprehensive home and community-based services, inclusive workplaces, and universally designed technolog

bonamici for the loss of her mother, representative barr for the loss of his wife, and our friend jim sensenbrenner for the loss of his wife. we are living in tough times for everyone but i know that these are particularly difficult times for those mentioned and we just want to wish them strength and peace. we are with them during this difficult time. today we are discussing how covid-19 is exacerbating inequalities in labor, education, and health, and the steps congress must take. a mountain of evidence has made it clear that to effectively respond to this pandemic we must address existing racial inequities in education, the workforce, and education. bias andion, racial chronic underfunding of schools serving students of color produce consistent achievement gaps. we know that our k-12 public schools have a racial funding gap. that is the difference between funding and school districts serving students of color compared to school districts serving predominantly white students. positionedg gap has students of color to fall even further behind their peers. black and latino students are less likely to

so big donors to congressman james sensenbrenner and jim jordan and jerrold nadler. watch those members in particular to see if they treat these companies any differently than the members of congress who didn't take any tech company money. we'll see whether that money has an impact when it counts for these companies. and meanwhile, guys, another thing to watch for today which is this on going negotiation that we're seeing over covid relief we have a new cnbc states of play poll. this is likely voters in swing states and how they see each of these relief proposals that's going through capitol hill this week and what you seesoever whel ming support here take a look for additional $1,200 in direct payments, 80% of our people surveyed support that that is a huge monster number. 77% support funding for covid testing and tracing. 76% for expanded broadband access 68% aid for state and local governments. and 62% support that idea of extending the $600 per week in bonus unemployment so as congress wrestles with that this week, they're really going to have to wrestle also wit
