this is twitter. but when karine jean-pierre told reporters we re keeping a close eye on twitter and not one person in that briefing room pushed back and said, hey, this is a private company you re talking about, what do you make of that? first of all, just to defend that statement by elon, melodramatic though it might have been, i do think the internet is the most significant innovation in our lifetimes technologically. and if a question of whether it is going to be the used as a tool of propaganda and information control, whether it s going to empower the citizenry to speak freely may be one of the most important debates of our time. i actually would defend that proposition. and i think the key thing that you re zeroing in on, howie, is often overlooked. often times the censorship happening over the internet is not because private companies are deciding on their own to do it, but because they re being pressured to by explicit threats from the congress and the white house that, if t
lincoln and all who fought in our nation s tragic war, saved their union, their courage saved freedom. and if we listen closely, they are speaking to us down through generations. we must not idly squander what so many have fought and died for. and, willie, if somebody listening to that speech and listening to those words thinks that liz cheney is being melodramatic, well, they aren t having the conversations i m having with friends. yeah. and family members. and people who used to be in liz cheney s party and mine or actually people who are still in liz cheney s party that used to be in my party. we spoke yesterday, we had two really disturbing phone calls. if people want to understand the
darth vader. sounded like him but he was back, i suppose. think about it, not only did desantis suspend the attorney general, these patriotic seminars he is forcing teachers to take. one example that was reported, they have to report that washington and jefferson opposed slavery, without mentioning they owned slaves. that s something that s happening there. in arizona, in these examples you gave here, what we know is that the problem is not simply donald trump. it goes all the way down. we see this idea, the fealty to party opposed to country actually is a threat is dmoek democracy, as much as the politicians trying to exploit the hatred. it cuts deeper. we have to get beyond the melodramatic folks who are supposedly the evil actors and
being melodramatic, you had a president who tried to encourage a mob to kill his vice president, this was a moment where you had americans stand up and put the future, patriotic americans, put the future of the country over their political party. and that, as robert frost once wrote, has made all the difference. yeah, and remember, jeffrey rosen was the pick after bill barr. in other words, donald trump thought that he was installing one of his guys with jeffrey rosen and richard donohue would help him along as he pursued these conspiracy theories and an election that had been stolen by him, none of which were true as both donohue and rosen played out in great detail yesterday, and we ll someplace some of that, as they shot down every theory that donald trump had about this. but you re right, those were guys donald trump thought he could count on to help pull off
but i thought it was really well done, again, it s a kind of comparatively small movie. but what did you think? i loved her i loved her, i loved the landscape, i.i weirdly enjoyed it, given that there s that element of threat right from the beginning in the sense that here is a woman just with her children in the middle of nowhere, and just that.that gun to protect her from anyone who might do them ill, and that.that is.that s tough to watch. but she s a fascinating character, and obviously, we don t want to give anything else away, but overall, i really enjoyed it. i did think a couple of the supporting characters, a little bit of some hokey acting in a couple of places not the two main ones that we ve just seen on screen, but some of the others. it s not perfect. no, but it s engaging, it really holds your attention. and also, i think that when you re.when you re making a little movie like that, and it s something that needs to grab the audience s attention and to punch through,
