We will be brazil with a very, very wealthy ten 20 percent, and a very, very poor 80 or 90 . Its heartbreaking. Its not only the freest country thats ever existed but what always set america apart and california particular lyrics was our enormous prosperous middle class. Enormous. I always think thats why my theory of why the ugly american image developed in europe, because most of the europeans the people you meet from foreign countries, will fly across an ocean to come to america. We only meet their elites. Not americans. Everybody used to travel to europe. Not now. Were all worried about paying rent. Holding on to your job. Paying for all of those special english translators at the schools, paying to support your opt are hospital from going bankrupt. This is just so crushing to the middle class. But its good for mark zuckerberg. Its good for the rich. Good for the rich farmers with all that cheap labor because they refuse to mechanize. Here we are in california, which is as you mexico the bottom of the hill. What exactly are californians supposed to do . We just for the first time we are now a plurality hispanic state and were now minority white state which mean is suppose that pretty soon my kids can apply for affirmative action for the first time. Youre right. I dont think its going to work that way. Thats unfortunate. Worked for this long and then was gone. Aside from using our lives to serve as warning for others, what right right. What can californians do. Thats a good question. Wow. Huh. Ing this not an encouraging pause. Im thinking. Yeah i think its youre just a warning for others. I dont see anything else that can be done. Well i mean, i suppose i mean obviously alert the rest of us while its still time, and the rest of the states. But also i wonder my prescription for the country triple layer fence as difficult to get into the United States as it used to be to get out of east germany. Im so sick of hearing fences dont work. [applause] like shoe laces they just dont work. What . Of course they work. Well they can come untied. I know, the human spirit. My longterm plan which would be fantastic for israel, is to move them to the northern portion of mexico. I have chapter why cant we have israels policy on immigration. That is a country that knows how to defend its borders. That would be good for them, good for us, fantastic for us. Theyd have us, their biggest best bud in right next them them. We have to get rid of the anger baby policy and repeal [applause] i want it retroactive. In the news all now is this el chapo, the biggest drug cartel leader. He is married to an anchor baby, who a couple of years ago flew back to california to give birth to her own two anchor babies. At your expense. As soon as she had given birth to her anchor babies she flew right back to join el chapo, who is who replaced i think Osama Bin Laden on interpol and the fbis most wanted list, and hmm, how did he escape from prison . Well because in mexico, they cartels own the prisons. Forget california. That is your future, america. So as i describe in my book, the anchor baby policy was a footnote in a Justice Brennan opinion in 1982. This d. O. T. Does not go back to the reconstruction amendment. The some them amendment was about one thing utterly insulting to americans. Why was the 14th amendment passed . So laraza could usher across mexican women who are half pregnant and they can drop a baby and say you didnt catch me im an american citizen. People dont put trap doors in a constitution. A secret trap door. This will surprise them. To get an amendment passed you need a mass feeling about a big thing. We had just fought a civil war to force again the democrats to stop enslaving blacks. That the 14th amendment is absolutely exclusively about black americans. Thats what its about. And its not about gay marriage either. Theyre at least gay americans. Here were talking about people who have never set footen u. S. Soil before, playing a game of red rover with our border principal for the most precious possession in the universe, citizenship in this country. That is not how you get american citizenship. [applause] but Justice Brennan this only camin 1982. 198 2. Justice brennan slipped it in a footnote of a 1982 opinion. Utterly outrageous. Fraudulent. Justice judge richard poser who you can attest, very smart most cited federal judge not a friend of social conservatives. This isnt me speaking. A few years i quote him in the book he concurred in an immigration opinion for these sole purpose of adding a concurrence, this said, congress would you end this anchor baby policy in its not in the constitution. Pass a law tomorrow and end it. Its not only got to be ended but this would save california i want it retroactive. [applause] this what if we had a mentally delusional Supreme Court justice not that hard to imagine who says, you know all of america all of the world is a citizen of america. Are we going to honor that . Because that is what happened with he anchor baby policy. Make sure kennedy takes his drugs this morning. Yes. What if we had a. That was so, anchor baby policy the wall, oh, yeah, the moratorium. We need a complete immigration moratorium so this isnt just about latin america. It isnt just about mexico. I dont want european immigrants coming. I dont want anybody coming no marriage no refugees just shut down for ten years and youll see my original idea was lets go back to pre1970 rules and try it again. Peopler better than us rather than people who are worse than us. But that wont work because we have all these nonprofits, we have hundreds of aclu migrant Rights Groups and George Soros Open Society institute and laraza founds by the Ford Foundation incidentally, not by hispanics. Like lulac was i have a full page of some of them, and those are all the ones who become the immigration judges, the ones who work at the inf. Until theyre all out of business and vacationing in cuba and fighting with the tupak in peru until they are gone, america cant be safe so we need to just shut down immigration altogether for a decade, dust off the books assimilate the ones already here and then start it up again totally cheap. I can do it all before breakfast. Just send me the photos. Identity be right 99 of the time. Better than what were getting now, 100 of the time. Ann coulter 11time New York Times best selling author.

Most folks remember him as a great Foreign Policy president and he was. But beyond that, George Herbert walker bush, passed more Domestic Legislation and more significant Domestic Legislation than any president since Lyndon Johnson or franklin roosevelt. Its amazing that a lot of people almost dont realize the breadth and depth of his domestic achievements and thats one of the reasons i felt it would be good to put all of that in one place in the quiet man. If there are three or four things id like you to take away after reading the book, one of them would be the fact that he came into office after Ronald Reagan had rebuilt america strength. Remember the phrase was peace through strength, and Ronald Reagan made the exceptional investment to rebuild our military capacity. And although a lot of folks really are in a bit of denial on it the fact is that the soviet union took one look at the economic capacity of the United States to build up its military capacity and gorbachev coming into office understood there was absolutely no way they could compete, and that what we wanted to do was to begin to interact with the u. S. And our western allies. Reagan built it up. And bush understood the opportunity that the world had after nearly a half century post world war with two super powers with tremendous nuclear capabilities. Bush understood the opportunity was there. And in his own style gab to build the western coalition that was necessary to take advantage of it, and a relationship of trust and cooperation that was necessary between the United States and the soviet union. The european allies were not as eager as george bush to move quickly. But bush, with a series of meetings, first with thatcher and met at the rapid was able to convince them that the nato allies should make a very significant step in terms of announcing a reduction of u. S. Troops and armor in europe. And a a greater reduction dithe soviet union of Occupation Forces in Eastern Europe and it worked. Gorbachev welcomed the opportunity to reduce his fiscal obligations to occupation, and that began the loosening that allowed elections to take place in poland and czechoslovakia and the freeing of Eastern Europe. It was george bushs amazing personal talent perspective both or ally with both our allies and our foes that credited created the trust that is necessary for big powers, great powers significant powers, to make the kind of policy commitments that produce good results. And the matter of two and a half years, george bush was able to lead a coalition interaction a Peaceful Coalition interaction that produced the dissolution of the number two super power in World Without a single shot being fired. I personally think his greates mistake was making it look so easy and i hope as you read the book youll understand exactly what i mean when i say that.

And im going to introduce our author by directly advocating for you to log into the bachelor. Com and check out his weekly post. Im not going to do a like or thumbs up or retweet. Carefully read and consider this thoughtful analysis of the industry of social data exchange. Why i revel in the momentary connection to this outstanding back that connection benefits my own social media identity, far more importantly he has convinced me the discourse we need to have is obsessive sharers has reached a critical point. Stripping bear, the share that all is volunteerty and fuelly approved by it years this breaks down the many way social Media Companies and digital zealots assumed our responsibility of determining not just our consumption needs but our social and emotional needs. The near religious faith we have in these companies ingenuity and technology seems terrify identifyingfully inescapable and other times a ridiculous farce and maybe a ridiculous fad. Jacob silverman for the celebrate chasing crowd jeopardy champion. And is here today to discuss his fantastic debut book, terms of Service Social Media and the price of constant connection. And joining us is carlos assad to. An associate editor at the washington post, formerred for for northern policy magazine and is here to help us engage this conversation. Thank you very much. Welcome to both of you. Thank you. [applause] you mentioned jacob is a threetime jeopardy champion. Its impress simple. Im thrilled to talk to jacob about the book because im an avid user of social media. I communicate with it. I promote stuff i write with it. And then i come across jay ons argument which terrifies me to my very soul. The first thing i wanted to ask about is the title of the book. Terms of service. Makes me feel guilty. You sign on to some service and get this huge document, the terms of service if you read it click here, and of course, no one reads it. I dont know anyone who read it. Gist click here so i can continue. What are we giving up . What are we surrendering when we click and agree to the terms of service . Usually the main thing youre giving up is any right to privacy any right to have control of the data that might be collected during your time on the web site. So these are often very broadly worded agreements that are designed to protect the company more than anything against any future litigation or any future claims they have somehow violated your privacy or mishandelled your data in a way they didnt account for. Its kind of like when you go into a parking lot and you see a sign in the parking lot theyre not responsible for any lost valuables. Its pretty much a similar attitude. Not that i want to go linebyline but the next thing that struck me is the first line of your introduction, when you say that communication has become synonymous with surveillance youve dont say that communication involves surveillance. You create on identity there you say its become the same thing. Communication equals surveillance. How did that happen . If you had to point to one or two key innovations that led to us that identity, what would they be . A couple of key feet temperatures. One is the fact that 15 years ago, some Big Tech Companies decided that they would create something called a cookie, which you could put on a users computer and you could store a little bit of information about them so you could learn where theyre visiting from, if they visited your web site before, maybe some of their preferences for what they like to look at on your web site, login information, and that seemed like a very small beginning but that really was the first step to kind of turning Online Advertising, which was the elm tuesday for the cookey, and online communication into something that war surveilled. So the cookie is the First Technology or example of how we started introducing a surveillance element to online communication. And it really just grew from there with this notion that given how these systems are set up and designed, were always producing a lot of information about ourselves when we visit sites and interact with apps and things like that, and theres this sort of assumption on the part of industry that all that data is potentially useful and can be turned into profiles and mined for insight about User Behavior and not necessarily anything malicious behind it. Theres this motion that the data is out there see we might as well collect it and process and it make decision based on it. But the problem with that is that theres almost no end to what kind of data you can collect on individuals and as more tracking technologies started being bro abused, as Online Advertising became more sophisticated and became basically the principle way of funding Digital Media it insured that various forms of surveillance would increase. So if you mark the cookie down others one important innovation. The other one is free as the cost of doing anything online. Because everything we do online is free or mostly free, we have to pay in other ways, and the ways in which we pay are submitting to the Data Collection and the surveillance that is supposed to service up more relevant ads and help kind of improve the other systems that these companies are running. You have written about the optin versus the optout culture of social media and of these different platforms. Can you explain that . Right. Well i think theres a strong sense at the Big Tech Companies especially facebook, keeps carry this belief and google and many others, which is theres almost no reason why someone wouldnt want these products and in a sense, they are very remarkable in some cases. Some people assume im a luddite but i use those tools. And this great confidence in what theyre bringing to the world, the supposed revolution in communication there are very few possibilities to opt out to say, no, and there are different ways in which this manifests itself. Facebook collects information on people all over the internet, whether youre a facebook member or not and this is why im talking about where you cant really opt out of that. If youre familiar with the little plugins or social widgets that appear on web site over all the internet. A like button or share button, those are usually a way for the company that control
