not just her. you don t want to cross facebook. i don t think she ll have a problem crossing them. yes, she will. don t kid yourself. they all will. they all will have trouble and that is where we stand. i want to ask you before we go joe, i think mika was trying to say something there. i just don t think kamala harris will have a hard time crossing facebook and these companies when she is across the table from them. i think she s trying to work with them which is why she wasn t masikryong. i m curious, did you re piece go out, did you not here that before? i knew she was trying to say something. alex? alex? is rick s ear piece working? i think it s fine. okay, thank god. so i can go to my next question to you. before we go, rick, i have to ask you and i m worried about you re piece because i want you to hear this next question because you wrote two would have the best books i think about the conservative movement in before
something? are you interrupting me again? was there anything else that you wanted to say? because you said kamala harris could stand up and i heard that. i just look at andrea right now. i would feel horrible if rick because rick thought i interrupted you. i think kamala harris, though, i do think she can be a force to be reckoned with. she s waiting for her moment. but i hear you. i think you re right. thank you. you re always right, though. can the trump administration figure out have you ever not been right, sweetie? oh, god, don t do that. that s a no. we just crossed a line here. you really did. we vice president done that since we ve been engaged no! it s like everybody s seen grandparents kissing and we understand that, we re old people, nobody wants to see it. nobody wants to know, joe. anything. what, that s we re engaged? stop, don t talk about it. you have a ring on. do you think noah gave you that

but they managed to fight it off? why did they manage to fight off these kind of techniques and not senator john kerry my co-author, his name is henry ferrell, he s a wonderful professor at georgetown, wrote a great essay about this in foreign policy magazine called american democracy is an easy target. so this is stuff we can think about, this is stuff we can fix. and, in fact, rick, how do you fix it when the senate foreign relations committee recently cataloged how the administration by denying the russian interference in the election is refusing to make the fixes necessary before the 2018 midterms. that s right. that s right. and that s a perfect example of how we re talking about an algorithm of democracy that is broken, not just computer algorithms. the craziest story if it doesn t get oxygen doesn t go anywhere. a good blogger, a friend of mine
when fake news becomes fake video, democracy assumes its citizens share the same reality. we re about to find out whether democracy can be preserved when this assumption no longer holds. rick joins us. rick, i remember a year ago, ari emmanuel sent me a video of barack obama talking and you had clip one where barack obama was saying what barack obama was saying. then in clip two it was manipulated to have barack obama say something completely different and actually say words that barack obama would never say. and you could not tell what was the real thing and what was forgery. you re talking about this and they ve already you ve had i guess a hollywood star being a victim of this with her face superimposed in a pornographic scene. how far away are we from this becoming something that we see on twitter everyday?
