the white flag from his blue check account after years of trying and largely failing to reform the more toxic traits of the platform. dorsey announced that he d be stepping down. and chief technology officer parag agrawal would be stepping up. and let s just say agrawal knows how to make an entrance. in a bold move he immediately banned twitter users from publishing videos or images of private citizens without their consent. as you can imagine, many on the right weren t happy and dug up these remarks agrawal made over a year ago when he said, twitter s role is not to be bound by the first amendment. our role is to serve a healthy public conversation. and let s be clear, public companies like twitter are not bound by the first amendment. the government is bound by the first amendment. not private companies. but after less than a week some are already saying agrawal is ready to silence free speech in this country. joining me now is an expert on all things silicon valley, katie natopoli
air travel that s not happening already in communities. so i thinkha we ve got it about right. ? all right. so give me your thoughts on the messaging around this. and here s what i mean by playing devil s advocate. i travel overseas quite frequently, for work, for pleasure, and certainly been doing it morepl frequently. when i come into the united states, i have to get a vaccine not a vaccine card. a pcr test before i fly into the u.s. somebody who s watching that right now and just saw dr. collins explain that it s too onerous domestically, what would you say to them about why you needed to travel if you re coming into the united states but you wouldn t need it to connect from new york somewhere else into the united states? ayman, you re right. it makesre no sense. it s m completely inconsistent here that somehow a traveler overseas is at greater risk of transmitting ais conceing variant and a traveler within the continentaltr united states. it doesn t make sense. and i disagree,
now, at the time there were concerns about ppe shortages. and there not being enough ppe for firstg responders. but that s not what they said at first. in e-mails from 2020 fauci said masks were not likely to be effective and surgeon general jerome adams at the time said mats kz could increase the risk of catching covid. the guidance has been updated. it s evolved as we ve come to understand that masks are an effective tool to limit the spread of the virus. but it would have been better to be up front about the need to makeou sure that first responde had enough masks first. now, listen, i m not trying to beat a dead horse here about masking or rag on dr. fauci any more than he normally gets from critics and certainly those on the right. but that lack of candor early on created a little bit of doubt and confusion. and doubt and confusion leaves room for the bad faith actors, many of them in the republican party, on the right,f
the foreign-policy including trade, tears, the economy and time. it will take time to work all of this out. if russia s meddling in our election they will not be welcome here. at the same time i have complete confidence in secretary pompeo, so i think they need to come to congress, let congress in america know what is going on, why are we embracing russia and am i meant to come here. i do have faith in the president that he s got a plan here national security as the primary basis. i want to get to the future some of that. first and foremost there s a lot of farmers in kansas and a lot of farmers who weren t happy right now. what are you telling your constituents? to trade and tariffs issue is my top concern right now. the price of pork is meant down 20%. so they are very, very concerned. i tell my producers the
getting inside? total shock that this was coming. they had no idea this was happening. while there certainly were agents inside the fbi, especially some of them who worked on the hillary clinton investigation, who weren t happy with aspects of how james comey led that investigation, weren t happy, for example, some of them thought she should have prosecuted, some thought his news conference went too far, you might find agents of the fbi who in essence agree with many of the points rod rosenstein made in that letter, but they didn t think the fbi director should be fired, especially fired in the middle of an investigation of whether the trump campaign had anything to do with the russian influence on the election. so discontent with how the e-mail thing was handled is one thing. thinking he should be fired is quite another. and there s great shock. there was great affection and respect for james comey. this is somebody who whenever he went out and spoke publicly always talked about how
