was eva robinson taylor? it could have been robinson. he said it could have been tailored. he wasn't sure. which name was hers her maiden name and it's because his mother died when he was five years old. so we didn't know much about her. he didn't know what her name was which to me was remarkable because as a 13 year old girl, my dad was as close as you could get to god. i grew up in a household. i grew up in a household. that was like father knows best. my father knew everything and so i just couldn't again i couldn't process how my daddy didn't know the name of his own mother. i couldn't process how we could have been descended from thomas jefferson. none of this made sense to me. but as a child i was a burning journalist. i was very curious so i kept pushing and kept asking. dad said his mother died when he was five years old. he couldn't remember her face. he couldn't remember her voice. and that made the story more compelling for me. because i wanted to bring my dad some peace. i wanted to help him find his family. i wanted him because i could i know he was in pain. i

robinson.e concluded our openings. we now move to member questions. each member will have five minutes to ask questions of our witnesses. i will start by recognizing myself for five minutes. last week the washington post reported facebook new the structure of its algorithms was allowing hateful content targeting predominantly black, muslim, lgbtq, and jewish communities. facebook knew it could take steps with the algorithm to lessen the reach of such horrible content while still leaving the content up on their website but they declined to do so. this appears to be a clear case where facebook knew its own actions would cause hateful content to spread and took those actions anyway. i would also note that when mr. zuckerberg testified earlier this year before us he bragged about the steps his company took to reduce the spread of hateful content. shamefully he left this known information out of his testimony. setting law aside, do you think facebook has a moral duty to reduce this type of content o

now back to our host phoebe robinson. >> while. that speech was powerful. hair was looking fire. i agree. writing, you have to include integrity. we need to move in a good positive way. now i would like to introduce the national book foundation board chair david steinberger. come on over. >> good evening. thank you. we are so thrilled to have you here with us tonight as our oure virtual book awards. celebrating the best in literature. the powerful writing, talented authors and of course the many readers touched by books. all of those joining us tonight welcome to the 72nd annual national book awards. i need to start by thanking the team at the national book foundation. your perseverance and dedication over the past year has been nothing short of extraordinary. the board of directors arm some of the most committed and enthusiastic people i've ever had the opportunity to work with. thank you all. i am honored to serve this institution alongside each of you. tonight we are coming to you from the offices of england random house surrounded by books as we should

robinson. i co-chair the aspen institute's commission on information disorder which just released our comprehensive set of recommendations for effectively tackling misinformation and disinformation. i want to thank this committee and its leaders for your work introducing the justice against malicious algorithm act. the safe tech act. the civil rights modernization act. and the protecting americans from dangerous algorithms act. each is essential for reducing the tech industry's harmful effects on our lives. congress is rightly called to major action when an industry's business model is at odds with the public interest. when it generates its greatest profits only by causing the greatest harms. big tech corporations like facebook, amazon, and google, maintain near total control over all three areas of online life. online commerce, online content, and online social connection. to keep control, they lie about the effects of their products just like big tobacco lies about the deaths their products c

still with us, eugene robinson and mike murphy.eugene, the up at for the washington post defending his action quote, virginia's parents have had enough with the government dictation of how they should raise their soldiers of the guy who is dictating to schools how that they should be doing with thousands of irony. eugene, your reaction is open in your paper? >> yeah that is exactly right that he ran this campaign about local schools on his first day he sees this control of the schools from localities. he bans the teaching of critical race theory which is not being taught in virginia schools. so that is irrelevant. except we also bans the teaching of divisive -- you can't teach american history and race without raising divisive concepts. that is pretty divisive. and then of course he invalidates mask mandates that have been imposed by a local school boards that are supported by parents in the school districts. and, now, there is a big question as to whether -- he has been taken to court by a number of school districts. i suspect he

marnus labuchagne was dropped on nought, robinson went off with a bad back and travis head — back fromchangne 44, out in the most bizarre way — worth a look on the bbc sport website — and cameron green was the other top scorer on 7a. for england's bowlers, two wickets each for robinson and broad, but not the best day for woakes and wood, who were expensive forjust one wicket each. snooker, and the world number two judd trump is a step closer to his second masters title. he eased into the semi finals at alexandra palace after thrashing fellow englishman kyren wilson 6—1 in their quarterfinal. trump will now face either mark selby or barry hawkins in the finalfour. but the informed trump will be a tough game for either of them and he is clearly enjoying his performance. come on, baby! yeah! it is incredible for some it is live play the game. just look at it, it is absolutely unbelievable, and the reception inside yesterday and today... i cannot wait to play out here again. that's all the sport for now. we'll have more for you on the bbc news channel later on. but now, it is time for the

secretary robinson. a question with respect to 80. understand you had a chapter recently and it's a desperate situation. as i understand it right now gangs control half of port-au-prince hijacking fuel and kidnapping people for ransom. senator portman mentioned the missionaries that were objected, 15 are still being held. what is your proposal of what the united states can and should be doing right now with respect to the situation and 80. >> thank you for that question is very important as you noted i was there two weeks ago. i had a chance in an opportunity to meet with the prime minister. the acting minister of justice and the new director general of the police. we have also sent advisors down to assess the situation and made long-term actions that we can take in terms of advising that will directly go after gang leaders for prosecution. either in haiti or the united states. as you know much work obligated than that. there are political parties, their political and economic elites that support the gangs, we know this. we are trying

still with us eugene robinson and bill kristol.leader has talked about perhaps amending the 1887 electoral vote count act, the electoral count act which many people didn't know existed but it's the thing that governs what happens on january 6th. you tweeted today maybe he will, maybe he won't, but that's not really where our attention should be focused. >> i'm strongly for reforming it, and personally if i'd been in charge of democrat strategy i would have introduced that bill as well as the other two bills. it's the easiest to complain to people. we had this chaos. having said that, that bill has not been introduced yet. there are two other bills which are good bills. they should be debated on the floor and suggest amendments, and it may well be they'll get some votes to take out the parts they like the most. they've refused to even let them be debated. and that's the situation we now face with the john lewis act. >> eugene robinson, we're interested in hearing what the president and vice president have to say tomorrow about janua
