It was fourth of july weekend of 2017 and i was six months into my activism of trying to warn america about the threat from internet platforms like facebook. And i realized i needed to find a way to go to washington, d. C. And didnt know anyone. And a friend said you need to meet barry so as it happened, he was in new england for the fourth of july weekend and so was i, so we met at a hotel in boston and at this point, im terrified because i had been watching all the things that happened in 2016 and im beginning to get the sense that facebook and other internet platforms are so big that theres nothing we can do and hes got the hair, the tie, the suit, he sits back and proceeds to explain we will control these guys by bringing back antitrust law.

And President Trump refuses to concede to president elect joe biden. What do david boies and ted olsen say now . Firing line with Margaret Hoover. Corporate funding provided by welcome to firing line. David boies and ted olsen, its a pleasure to have you here. Its great to be here. It is indeed.

The story of how africanamericans come to congress in the 19th century is not one a lot of people are familiar with. We actually have 22 africanamericans serve between 1870 and 1901. 20 in the house. 2 in the senate. Largely a house story. And it has to do with the role of congress during the civil war, and in the decade after. During the civil war there were a group of radicals in congress, radicals, because they believed in the equality of africanamericans, and wanted to create a society in the south after the war that was a multiracial society. These were radicals in the house, like thaddeus stephens, who was chairman of the ways and Means Committee and a very powerful leader. Also people like henry winter davis. Washburn.
