and, you know, really want to thank the workers of veritas who helped put this together. you know, especially danielle washington. >> whew! [applause] >> there was a true spirit of joy in this. that you could see it in people's faces and the wae they showed up to support this. it was genuine and, if i was the boss, i'd give them all a big pat on the back. and here to do that is the new owner of this building. [applause] >> thank you, brian. really appreciate this. i'm so honored and humbled to be here today representing the veritas team and all of our partners as well, too. it's really touching to meet bill, the original owner of this building i thought it was a great opportunity to rekindle and look at what he was able to do with that photo of draping the rainbow flag across this building. we had no idea that this building was where the rainbow flag was part of its home as well, too. if you look up, you'll see that that flag is raised up high and proud for everyone to see. you'll see this flag right here as well, too. and we feel so proud and privileged to be stewards of

thank you veritas. thank you to mayor breed. to the q foundation. and thank you to everyone who made this possible. >> there is a small group of us who are survivors who have been through it all, from the depths of the aids epidemic, homelessness, all kinds of struggles. and i was thinking about it a couple of week ago. i said, you know, how many people have really risen from that experience and gone on to do wonderful things and to make meaningful contributions to society. really i was looking at who are my peers in that experience. and one of them is up next for us who is a long-time friend and ally of ours from the office of congresswoman nancy pelosi, please welcome gary mccoy. [applause] >> thank you, brian. this is very exciting for me personally to be out here today. i also have friends that lived here that were -- their housing was alsos subsidized and h.i.v. positive and really meant the life to them. on behalf of the congresswoman and speaker of the house nancy pelosi, have a letter i'd like the read from her. friends, we proudly gather to

contemplating proposing an answer for those who need relief, and i am looking forward to discuss with veritas and i appreciate their willingness to discuss this and hopefully we will find a solution. on a different topic, i want to repeat what we said at our last transportation authority commission meeting. as we all mourned another pedestrian fatality due to running a red light and excess ti sive speeding, as we say speed kills. it's one of the top five serious cyclists and pedestrian injuries and fatalities. and while we've added additional resources to the traffic addition of the p.d., we need to use every resource to expand our ability to highlight that speeders will be caught and they will be ticketed and there will be consequences. that's how we're going to save lives. the city of san francisco and organizations like walk sf have alo long asked us for automated speed enforcement, and i think it's long overdue. we've been blocked by everyone from law enforcement to my friends at the teamsters, and that proposal has not seen success in sacramento. at our last meeting, i called on the san

> if you don't want to mention the project veritas example. we know conservatives have been banned or suppressed for no reason at all. you have very mainstream conservatives like candace owens, and jesse kelly. i'm a free market person. i don't necessarily think the government should break up these companies. i don't believe they are yet monopolies, but this is something certainly to be talked about. and these companies like facebook and twitter should probably be treated like publishers i stead of platforms if they are going to be censoring content. liz: what a day for the market. the dow closing at a record high of 27,000. gerri: the dow through the 27,000 level, closing at 27,088. the s & p didn't have enough energy to go through 3,000. only the nasdaq was lower. why was the dow so high? managed care, united health adding a lot to the dow today after trump said he'll kill a proposal that would have overhauled rebates collected by middle men in the healthcare industry. the middle men between the insurers and the drug companies. and meanwhile

are you familiar with the report that was released yesterday from veritas that included a whistleblower from within google that included videos from a senator executive at google that included documents purportedly internal powerpoint documents from google? >> yes, i heard about that report in industry news. >> have you seen the report? >> no, i have not. >> so you didn't review the report to prepare for this hearing? >> it's been a busy day, and i have a day job which is digital well-being at google, so i'm trying to make sure i keep the trains on the tracks. >> i'm sorry this hearing is impinging on your day job. >> it's a great opportunity. i really appreciate it. >> one of the things in that report, and i recommend that people with political bias at google watch the entire report and judge for yourself. there's a video from a woman, a secret video that was recorded. jen jenai is the head of responsible innovation for google. are you familiar with ms. jenai? >> i work in user experience, and i believe that ai group is somebody we worked with on the ai principles. but it's a big compa

people like james o'keeffe, the right-wing founder of project veritas, his group is known to release recorded videos of subjects to paint them as politically biased. a right-wing operative who recently pushed a smear claiming senator and 2020 contender senator kamala harris is, quote, not really an american black. controversial cartoonist ben garrison was supposed to be there. he tweeted out his invitation. his cartoons have been rebuked by the anti-defamation league and the southern poverty law center. after his invite got attention, it was revoked raising questions about why he was invited in the first place. interestingly worth noting that none of today's attendees have actually been blocked or banned online. those who have like alex jones not invited which info wars has been raging about. so, while it appears this summit is less about censorship and more like a rally for online loyalists, sources tell "the new york times" they believe it's really an effort by the president to work the referees ahead of 2020 to intimidate media companies from enforcing many of the rules they put i

in this project veritas video that i watched last night, they allege there are internal google documents, which they put on the it said this is what "for example, imagine that a google image query for ceo shows predominantly men. even if it were a factually accurate representation of the world, it would be algorithmic unfairness. in some cases, it may be appropriate to take no action if the system accurately affects current reality, while in other cases it may be desirable to consider how we might help society reach a more and equitable state via product intervention." what does that mean, mr. slater? you, congresswoman, for the question. i'm not familiar with the specific slide, but when we are designing our products, we are designing for everyone. we have a robust set of guidelines to make sure we are providing relevant, trustworthy information. raters with a set of around the world and around the country to make sure the guidelines are followed. they are transparent and available for you to read on the web. personallyt, well i don't think that answered the question at all, but let me
