is didn t surprise me because doing this season a man jacob applebaum a key pillars of wikileak, a celebrated online privacy advocate won of the developers of the privacy software that enabled wikileaks to move information securely. he was a darling of the left. a die hard bernie sanders supporter. and like julian assange, he was targeted when, you know, this country and others went after wikileaks and became up comfortable having wikileaks out there. and what jacob said to me when i was talking to him, when i was interviewing him, one of the things that really stood out he said, you know, everybody thinks there is this line between big tech and big government. he said from what i have seen that line doesn t actually exist at all. one of the examples that he gave me was being in a conference online privacy conference, and a google executive stood up to make a speech. and what he said in that speech and i don t want to mess it up.

what to do with the subway system, but for most of america s small towns, if we don t have national leadership, this simply won t get done. when katy and i were growing up here, taking a train to the beach would have been science fiction. but now that s exactly what we re doing thanks to this improved light rail which has been totally funded with local money. which goes to show when there s a strong commitment by the powers that be and by the people, the swamp can be drained if even just a little. not only is this your first ride on the l.a. metro, it s teddies. it is teddy s. you re experiencing it together. when we grew up here, this didn t exist. i grew out of los angeles because i was sick of sitting in traffic. i wanted a city where i could get around easily. and the city is trying to figure out a way to beat the traffic. we ve been trying to figure out a way where congress and the
