everything i can to advance this as a private citizen, and the only next step that i can do is to run for congress and fight it through congress. because that s where it s going to change. it s going to have to change with congressional action, and so that s the large piece of why i was prompted to do this. i just it is incredible to imagine that a family grieving in this way would also then have to have this fight and i can t imagine the anger you felt on top of your grief and co-mingled with that. so, this is one of those things, there s been some bipartisan talk in congress about reforming section 230 that offers these protections. it does not seem like there s a plan, a solid plan forward yet but brookings institution said repeal of section 230 would take a blunder bust for a problem that calls for a laser knife, not just facebook, twitter and youtube that benefit from 230, there are other companies, smaller companies and outfits. if you make it to congress,
that? yeah. like a blunder bust, which should say, you know, everything you load into it. the strategy, it didn t matter much what specific allegations were, only that there were a lot of them. it was never really about the truth. it was about creating a cloud of susp suspicion which undermined american belief in the voting system. yeah. and you really saw that. i didn t matter what they said, and it edd a dilemma. do you have to fact-check everything? or in the act of fact-checking, are you playing into their hands by giving voice to the absolutely absurd claims that were being made there? matthew, there were heros here, and you talk about this. the people who stood up to these efforts, it wasn t just democrats. no, that s right. most of the heros in our book were republicans, actually. even trump supporters. that gave me some hope as i came

assad s air force cannot take off. that s an example of a limited action that ultimately can produce big benefits. so you think in order to tip the balance. you can t just simply send them a pea shooter against a blunder bust at the end of the day. time is not on our side, and our vital national security interests will not be pursued. you would like more? i think the president is headed in that direction. this is the first step. obviously, he s convinced the red line he himself subscribed has clearly passed, and there are vital security interests of the united states here that need to be pursued. not having a state that is totally in disarray in which terrorist enities can operate. you have already al qaeda. you have iranian revolutionary guard. you have hezbollah. you have chemical weapon caches. you have jordan next door, which has been a good ally,
and then you have to consider other options with your allies as to whether or not, for example, you might consider ripping up air fields so that assad s air force cannot take off. that s an example of a limited action that ultimately can produce big benefits. so you think in order to tip the balance. you can t just simply send them a pea shooter against a blunder bust at the end of the day. time is not on our side, and our vital national security interests will not be pursued. you would like more? i think the president is headed in that direction. this is the first step. obviously, he s convinced the red line he himself subscribed has clearly passed, and there are vital security interests of the united states here that need to be pursued. not having a state that is totally in disarray in which terrorist entities can operate. you have already al qaeda. you have iranian revolutionary guard. you have hezbollah.
