orwell is different. he comes home and his life left a plate of dinner for him on the double but he is very absent-minded and kind of self-denying, and by mistake he feeds his dinner to the cat and eats the cat's dinner. and didn't notice until he is finished. >> host: we'll take few questions. i'll ask tom one more question at least bit -- but if you want to line up to ask questions, that's fine. i'll actually -- while we're doing that, lay a big one on you. that is he run out of gas. you have a plea toward the end of the book about people rig obviously finding out the facts -- rigorously finding out the facts and challenges assumptions and allowing colleagues and bosses and everybody else to challenge their assumptions and really work through that. and then make a decision based on principles. i'm thinking, just reading this week and can feel churchill's fatigue, and i'm reading this challenge and thinking, man, that's a lot of work. so how do we do this in the modern day and how do we hold ourselves to

orwell got everything right except perhaps, government, i don't think that's big brother.bination of amazon, google and facebook. now i can tell you this isn't about misgivings and concerns that already exist about business disruption or bezos grudge against president trump. it's against unlimited access and power. one of the quotes is if you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself. think about it, these companies know you better than you know yourself and they also understand how to manipulate that knowledge. this is about electronic appliances that can listen and spy on and you know everything you do and say in private. news speak is happening, the new language of acronyms, hashtags and emojis, as an investor i've grappled with the notion for a long time, this whole thing because the stocks will probably go a whole lot higher. by the same token, i'm not going to buy an alexa for my home. this isn't about being a luddite, this is about the freedom we take for granted. unlike the nsa and government agencies, we're inviting the companies to spy on us. the

orwell was rarely photographed. i hope he read a great book in 1984, -- is particularly good because it talks about. [inaudible] at the end of his life he is lying in a farmhouse dying. and we can get this thing on youtube. the interview and then orwell, what we have of orwell at the end of this, the last breath he took we have him saying, you have to be warned people you have to warn them. and he understands what is being done we have to understand the power, the people have the power and in the face of the public. it is very very moving. he is trying to get a message to us. that language matters. and therefore we must struggle to attain the veracity and credibility of the people who bring what they are attempting to do and where you attempt to destroy truth -- that is the end of his life. and we look at that on youtube i think you will be moved by how can i put it? the compassion and prophetic insight. >> sir harold evans, one more. go ahead! >> your favorite writers are. >> donald trump speeches. >> always inspir

george orwell, last year, coincidental with the election, george orwell at 70th anniversary, the language with variations, true of all political parties, designed to make life down truthful and murder respectful and give experiences -- let me give you some pure wit. the management statement, we promise to dedicate ourselves to improving the efficacy of measurable learning outcomes and we intend to learn something was why didn't you buddy say so? a magazine set upon by one of the founders of facebook. as journalist we have mixed views about facebook, it is taking money away, what is going on with the politics? this is what they thought. a crowd you can see. this is what they want to do with human services. we expect this start, cross functional collaboration and align ourselves to integrated -- what? with words in it. and i want to say something that will shock you. they have -- when i wrote this, donald trump in that -- this is donald trump at a charity and an emphasis and a certainty which i for one overlook as being effective as it was and this is what he says. we have to stop illegal i

in your book, "churchill & orwell", what does it tell us about leadership in the world today?it has a lot to say today because we're in kind of a tumultuous unsettled political time like the 1930s. what we saw with churchill and orwell is they were people of principle who they were willing to stand up and put facts above opinion and even willing to criticize their own side. the retired congressman from south carolina you were just talking about is striking to me, because that's exactly what i'm looking for these days, people who are willing to stand up and say no, my side is wrong on this. let's stand with principles. let's make facts more important than opinion. >> and could you imagine what they would think if they were watching events in america today? >> i think they'd be very upset. and i think that general mattis, the secretary of defense captured accurately the other day when he quoted winston churchill saying you can always count on the americans to do the right thing after they have done everything else. i kind of find myself oddly optimistic right now because we're s

could never have dreamed, did not dream , my friend thomas massey was pointing out today, orwell thought it would take people to spy on other people. he never dreamed that the government would be able to clecked warehouses full of information on little disks that could be used, pulled out later in i -- any time they wanted to go after an individual. but it sure looks like it's happening but if our own justice and intelligence officials cannot police themselves and produce the very people that have leaked information, that have unmasked information, i will join with many of my friends on the democratic side of the aisle to vote against them ever having those types of owers again. from what we keep finding out, i'm sure somebody has been going through my background with a fine tooth comb looking for anything so they can take me out . good luck. probably most americans are committing a number of federal crimes a day we don't even know about. so apparently it can be done if heritage is right, as i think they are. but the fact is, it ought to scare every american that there is much -- is this

it always reminds me of the george orwell scenario, where the police keep being asked to do more andying on doing it. if you have had a 50% cut in policing, 20,000 less officers since 2010, it isa 20,000 less officers since 2010, it is a no—brainer, it will have an impact of what the police can do, in terms of resources. even if funding for counterterrorism specifically is ring fenced? i don't think they are two entirely different things. when i was two entirely different things. when iwasa two entirely different things. when i was a police officer, i got information to talking to people. i would speak to people, find out what was happening and then come back and do intelligence reports on that and there is no substitute for that. people sitting in an office going on computers and trying to work out what is happening on the ground. you need those people on the ground but it is not just need those people on the ground but it is notjust the police officers being cut. we have also had cuts in the c50 being cut. we have also had cuts in the cso numbers, community support officers and pol
