Evening and welcome to all of you and welcome to senator burr and senator warner. Both of you have had very long careers in Public Service and i know that you have when the house in 1994 and senator warner, 1989 work with judge wilder and before becoming governor yourself of virginia. Someone inspired your career in Public Service. Would you see to young people today who would like to pursue a career in Public Service. [laughter] id like to thank and i actually am a little bit older than richard but a nono. He has. Not anymore. Alisa got here. Like to say that i was old enough to get touched by the idealism of the 60s. But not old enough to get jaded by in a grownup in the midwest indiana and illinois and connecticut but it was with synchrony for 35 years. And my family was a personal to graduate from college. And somehow my parents with political and Boy Scouts Church community pta but not political and somehow i always had the bug. Took some time when went off did missus ended politics right out of college and law school but i say one of the things for all the frustrations we do absolutely get stuff done which become hardware for weve god, the ability to affect people news lives and extraordinary positive way. Many people in this room knew my father and mother those who grew up in the community. Instilled in me is the time to complain and when thats over with, you need to sign up or shut up. I remember the day i told my wife as when run for congress. Im still reminded of it. [laughter] 25 years later. The reality is weve all got to pick and that we like to make an impact. And more iser in an important place and incredibly challenging. I say that we talked about it, 20 years from now somebody will look at how we conducted the intelligence committee. How we interacted with 70 intelligence agencies. I will look at the present and hopefully they will follow that. It just happens we do it at the time with his completely different approach on the house side. But the obvious thing is you cant do it if we dont trust each other. We dont agree on everything and we dont agree, we get together and we hammer them out. If in fact it is a tight, german soup is the winds. [laughter] but to my knowledge we have never exercised that. Reality is that i say the institution and certainly the committee and Responsibility Committee are better off because of how we do it. Cemented trust, how do you get the trust between the two of you. A few glasses of wine. [laughter] i got to the senate and id never been a legislator. Im a business guy. He measured by what you get done. An opportunity to be governor for four years and really loved the job. After the senate and had to. Throttle back. Sprawled back a little bit. He really has brought getting get things done right away. Richard, a good friend of richards, former senator from georgia, we became good friends and we didnt agree on everything. But i say at the end of the day, the secret sauce that is missing from is it too much of our politics, is the trust. Trust means that something you gotta be wheeling to do what you say is right even if your team does not agree with it. And until you can show your willingness to senate prasanna hubley and, frankly your team doesnt agree with, you dont fully earn that trust. Richard and i have tried earn that with each other we give each other plenty of grief along this way and we traveled and we traveled in some of these times around the world. But it starts with a personal relationship in recognition in the friendship and trusting relationship is more important than shortterm partisan points. What its like to be subpoenaed by the president s son. [laughter] but he did turn to me and see you going to do wet. And the fact is doing things like that, its not something you expect to do we take this job. But it is part of the process that he and i committed to at the beginning which is were going to follow the facts. If he cant talk to everybody that might be connected. Who kind of been the home of the world can you determine which is right. They will talk later on about the social media and about the world we are in now but im asked, what am i scared about. Im scared about what i dont know. What i dont understand in what you see in the National Media has brought indicative of the relationships we have in washington. And more and i have a Good Relationship and i say you would believe that 98 other people dont. The truth is that that was the case, we would get nothing done. This is senate rules and allows one person decide anything at anytime. We do know which guys of the designated jerks on both teams though. [laughter] that would be on amy kind of personal humidity, i was asked earlier by students having to get things done. Have you identified the people that you have a common interest with. I disagree with them 60 percent of the things but the other part youll find agreement on so undoing education. Im doing my piecing. But he plans to be i was doing deals with ted kennedy. Why because we believed in the same things on those issues. But also were looking for somebody that clippers the other ones back. And i say in the case of the intelligence committee, but an extremely good job of communicating with each other and covering our backs with our members even on the committee. When we are taking a tough position. Team appropriate credit, there wouldve been, so much easier in todays world for richard used to see, im going to go with the flow. As opposed to where we started we said, were going to brent the facts. And will follow them wherever they like. In one of the things that i am very proud of is the folks that we had in the investigation, though seductive didnt realize which one where democrats which were republicans in terms of staffing and been a host of other areas in a document of the First Century and technology stuff. [laughter] i know, a technology has recognized that in many ways, there is no community of technology in the senate. He can speak to this better than i know what kind of carved out that area. And a whole host of issues. And at the residence has earlier. Its not liberal conservative red blue it is future cast. This is the guide two is wheeling to try to grapple the future and past issues. In a really important way. Give a rosy pitcher of washington but we have [laughter] 2015, study the millennials 74 percent expressed distrust. In the government and theres a more recent gallup poll in American News approval of congress from remained at 20 percent and is from 2019 mick news approval remains at 20 percent for the second consecutive month for congress. And this having declined after two years. So is washington, you said washington has brought broken but the statistics suggest otherwise. What can we do to restore faith in our government. Within the past 20 years, the majority millennials, hunting in america, get their news is alert on the phone. But a dealer to get today and at 8 00 oclock tonight see was different. Likelihood it is. Now maybe we had to be talking about journalism classes. About the standards of journalism where historically they came out and you have two sources one of them had a behavior a resource today is anonymous and does matter with her is right lift. His anonymous source. Imagine if we had operated the world where everybody was anonymous to us. Weve been over 200 people the russian investigation. There may be 13 the you know who we interviewed because they came out publicly. But there was some acknowledgment of the subpoena. There were hundred and 80 plus people theyll never read about. Hopefully. They came in and that we interviewed because we do things behind closed doors were not ashamed of that. We say america safer because we do a business behind closed doors in our members to talk about it. But dont tell you is the vice chairman. Our base challenge is where members dont talk to the press. When we do our business which is oversight over 17 agencies, so the market i can look at you and absolutely assure you that everything we do lives within goleta of the law or the order of the present. And if in fact we reach the confidence that we have with 17 intelligence agencies, there were not going to get the information from them that we need to do correct oversight. He would like to be in the press every day. [laughter] the fact is that is not where are committee operates. And certainly not will begin dress of the people that we actually to the recital. First of all i would see, some of those statistics in terms of congressman. We market. 5 percent is 9 percent. [laughter] your counting relatives and friends. I say these inherent contradictions. With his 9 percent actually percent. Yet we still see the election rates on individual members that top 75 percent in the last couple of cycles. So it is easy to take congress. Number two, i do say that an institutional process that we have at this. Is that we have driven is it too much power in both the house or senate. To the respective lead lucia. The majority leader minority leader speaker and we do dont legislate most of the year and you wait until these kind of a carry balls of mass that happens at the end of the year when its budget wise or piecewise that is not a rational way to deal with this. For the largest institution of the world the u. S. Government. Number three, i say that we is it too often and i say it was much of this when there were lots of separate bases of power rather than powerpoint through majority leader or minority leader does matter machine that he or she raise the her name and estimate for small first and foremost loyal to your team more than loyal to country. As a huge flop. But i its been longer that than in politics. The base difference in his this is you get measured by what you can done. And the people i work with in politics, they can tell you what theyve been against most of their life. But rarely with therefore and less until we start hire people who are wheeling to get the yes and even if that yes may not be etiologically perfect, then were going to continue to have those in my fear is because i dont say we can continue. And i say within a unique relationship in the realm of the intelligence oversight, we have a little more freedom the kind of elisa and the things get done, that always this early if you are the press. But you say that there is his problem in a world that is moving as quickly as our world is moving as you mentioned, the way we sickness the 65 percent of americans is somewhere on the news from facebook and google. There is no editorial regulated at all. If i dont show again that we can continue get the yes on certain items, millennials and for the generations of people will tune out in my fear and i see this is somebody with dislike, i know you want to shut the tv for the news comes on and i feel the same way in and inside the tv. [laughter] if you tune out, and see, all you are doing is trying the keys over to what i call the windmill. Amy political party, the policies will not give a. I say there are a host of issues, Technology May be able to be reformulated. Maybe certain areas that background misses economic incentives that purposively healthcare and education infrastructure where the ready skunk at their established positions may be going bigger is absolutely easier. To get common agreement. Then on certain areas the audit just like ricky is the poison board so that even if its not the world news biggest issue, congress the government can see we have actually picks up and going to move on something else. I say there are a host of areas which would get in tonight to do that. Smart on the mission now mania. I know you both feel strongly about responsible youth of social media and currently it is being really big brawl in our political discourse. Are you concerned about this brawl that social media is playing. Would probably differ a little bit on our approach. This is the valuable platform to the American People to communicate. From a committee standpoint, wed like to see is the collaboration of government. We would like to see a willingness to participate in those issues that deal with National Security or Election Security and i see if it hadnt been for what we uncovered over two years, we mightve had a big problem in 2018. Within it. Because we have a loophole of cooperation and collaboration between social Media Companies not all. With a major. With the federal government and was able to put together an architecture that made it through the 18 election that went out incident. So it was a policy change in the part of the administration a little brush people off the plate. Twenty is going to be much more challenging say. Were fairly confident right now that we can continue expand this collaborative agreement. I say and more has a different cause as it relates to regulating platforms weve got understand that when we saw social media used to create society chaos in the United States, there is no legislative remedy for this. Because there on a First Amendment issue and rushed out and said were going to regulate this. In mightve mayday big splash but the two of us realized that we could do that and it will get overturned in Supreme Court. The have First Amendment protection. So it is better in this case this may be the model the future hope government and the private sector academia collaborates together for the good of the country and that is the thing we are going out with. I great and i disagree. I say that weve got, i see this as my background is in Technology Venture catalyst. Our next sale, getting the Wireless Industry and 80s. I say we became totally infatuated with vanities platforms and we became way over the top optimists in a Traditional Republican Party that says a business entrepreneurship democrats, mr. Obama, fell in love with the fact that google and facebook said theyre going to be good companies. I say they didnt even realize the power. And we were completely gone off guard. As the government. Help that dark underbelly of social media could really just hate each other, and each other and at each others throats manipulated by outside source sources in ways that i say everybody fully understood, and so respectively hardly disagree with you. Not a hundred percent sure that these platforms and their First Amendment rights, the reason why these companies have no responsibility and have the same responsible is for example that the Media Company has late 90s we set up rules for social media, we basically said that lets consider these companies with as telecom companies, it may be that made sense then. But when 65 percent of the newest is comes from facebook and media, section 230 exemption may be needs to be rethought and we have already said you cant do child pornography or trafficking or are making. In other countries, in uk and australia are starting to look at content. Maybe we ought to have a debate about that. Discussion says this would be content if you actually had to own your content that you posted on facebook, and put your real identity next to that, that might increase companies theyve seen so much outside intervention, that the only weekend on the internet, social media is if you validate who you are. That might work in america, but i say there are things where i am not where some of my folks on the democratic side, and was simply turn the keys over to large chinese Platform Companies. But i do say it that it take that off of the table but i do say that a no for example what data is collected. For what it is worth. I say we ought to know if we get tired of facebook. We are to be able to easily move oliver data from facebook including our cat videos to new site. Data portability plans to be able to talk to people remain on facebook. There are no comps of petitioning from transparency portability and certain rules of the road, i say again, there will be broad bipartisan consensus in the legislation i got there, i say that there are bipartisan. I say the Platform Companies are starting to realize that there are kind of playing local with an inefficient congress, is going to come back and bite them because when america doesnt lead in the standards, weve now given that leadership states like california nevada and others and we see the europeans move on privacy in countries like the uk and australia move on content and all that we have done is that what was the ceiling, will be a new floor when we do this. And i say again this is an area where i say there is a lot of Common Ground but i agree with richard in the sense that we shouldnt have rushed into russian to quickly. The only thing i was going to add to it is we have no jurisdiction of the intelligence committee. [laughter] with talk privately about the fact that if we have no committee of technology, we are the only ones that on daily basis, look at the intelligence and tells us what everybody else is doing and the committees that have jurisdiction over telephone policy or get involved in the defense issues, they dont have what we have. It is very challenging and i would tell you that the architecture of government has brought conducive to the 21st century. And you might look at academia and the challenges is that is conducive to 21st century or we are generating now is the output of what we need for the Economic Opportunities that are there. Governments never going to be on its current structure, the institution that is ahead technologically because we just dont allow technology to be played in real time. Twentyseven, getting me credit, this was an area weather it is the architecture of our satellites overhead or an area where we are up to our eyeballs in the next generation telecom. Its called five g. The equivalent of moving to four g to five g all the things we call the internet of things relied on the systems. Doug in deep. We are because we get a chance to see this brawl on the Cutting Edge Research is done in the entire world. And we have earned some credibility with her colleagues that if we come up with some ideas, and so stay tuned, some of these areas are going to pose economic and security challenges beyond anything imagined in the last 50 or 60 years i say will have some thoughtfu
