Ways that silicon valley can help this country and create jobs and do all kinds of things and how technology can help us all and i think by being acquiescent and not speaking up, we ll see. if there is more meetings like this going forward. there s supposed to be one quarterly. we ll see if they speak out, if there s issues around immigration, for example, or, you know, or encryption, boy, that s going to be some fight if that continues to go forward. there s a lot of things that silicon valley really should be doing to stand up as leaders of one of most critical industries that we have in this country and globally and that s just so that s what i i think i m reflecting a lot of people on silicon valley. the point is speaking truth to power and holding our leaders and our business leaders and our government leaders accountable, so i thank you for coming on, i thank you for that article. keep it up. thanks very much. when we come right back, president barack obama vowing to work ....
