prime minister khan, thank you very much for joining us.ssment of the situation in afghanistan right now with u.s. troops almost completely out after 20 years. >> well, judy, i think the u.s. has really messed it up in afghanistan, you see first of all, they try to look for a military solution in afghanistan when there never was one. and people like me who kept saying that there's no military solution. you know, the history of afghanistan, we will call people like we will call anti-american. i was called taliban khan for anyone who objected to this way of i don't know what the objective was in afghanistan, whether it was to have some nation building or democracy or liberate the women, whatever the cause was, the way they went about it was never going to be the solution. so when they finally decided that there is no military solution, unfortunately, they the bargaining power of the americans or the nato forces had gone. when there were 150,000 nato troops in afghanistan that was the time to go for a political solution. but once they had redu

the shares a long time to fall between the lawsuit and resolution today it's facebook asking lena khanrecuse herself do you think we're entering a period where regulatory risk actually does matter to shares >> yeah. on that note, it's interesting so far all these companies have everything on that front right? we saw with the global tax deal. you would think that, maybe pay more taxes would matter. hasn't mattered so far and regulatory, i think it's wait and see and i think that anything with teeth is actually coming that may change quickly, of course but at this point investors are -- what you say, in terms of anything that could go negative on the valuation equation. my concern general is when a trigger hits, whatever that trigger may be, and you see these divergences in markets and when you have extremely stretched charts, as we saw a number of times in recent years, downside can come very quickly when it's least expected currently we're not even in the phase where anyone can see 2% lasting more than 60 minutes. so i think that's ultimately where these vix charts or volatility compre

i was called taliban khan. way of i don't know what the objective was in afghanistan, whether it was to have some nation building or democracy or liberate the women, whatever the cause was, the way they went about it was never going to be the solution. so when they finally decided that there is no military solution, unfortunately, they the the bargaining power of the americans or the nato forces had gone. when there were 150000 nato troops in afghanistan that was the time to go for a political solution. but once they had reduced the troops to barely 10,000 and then went to give an exit date, the taliban thought they had won. and so therefore, it was very difficult for now to get them to compromise. it's very difficult to force them into a political solution because they think that, you know, they won. judy: well whatever has happened , in the past, as we said, the taliban now is on the rise in in afghanistan. is that a good outcome for afghanistan?

there are some well intentioned leaders in pakistan, prime minister khan may be one of those, who want with afghanistan, and perhaps their chief of army staff, who always says that he likes to see good relations between afghanistan and pakistan. but where we see problem is that the rank and file do not seem to be obeying those orders, or at least are respecting those orders. so that's where we become doubtful of what it is that the taliban or what it is that the pakistani establishment actually want to do or if there is any control over it. now, it couldn't be a rogue entity that wishes to do whatever it wants to do, and then the officials go and deny it, but it happens. so what we want to see is have a serious negotiation and serious discussion with pakistan to end these hostilities that exist between our two countries. the prime minister, imran khan, said if any country is trying its best out of all the countries in the world, it's pakistan. what do you say to him? well, we will believe in when we see it. we have had good words from some of these pakistani leaders and perhaps they me

ali khan, you get a prize. the fact is, the real source of this problem here seems to be that large parts of the country are inside of a massive disinformation bubble, right. you have sitting lawmakers, republicans, just a fact, not all of them, just some of them, and right wing media distributing false information, and a lot of them are vaccinated, like members of congress like marjorie taylor green did it this weekend. as a doctor, how do you pierce that bubble? >> from a science standpoint, we have over 3 billion people who have been vaccinated at this point globally. we know the vaccines are safe. we know the vaccines are effective. we're down to 200, 250 deaths a day in the united states. and here in the united states, it is free and it is available everywhere. so, please, get vaccinated. protect yourself, protect your family, protect your community. >> dr. fauci said this to jake tapper yesterday when he was asked about where he falls on the debate over whether states, municipalities, private businesses s

side, there's clear some strategy here if the ftc is taking some of its cases to court i think lina khan would probably win those or at least for the time being while there are three democrats on the commission there might not be soon enough but, still, it creates those kinds of roadblocks and potential for appeal what happens on the doj side might be different he might preemptively recuse himself. but generally, what it does is create an issue for appeal but if the enforcers aren't going to see it themselves, it's the kind of thing that has to be fought out in court later and certainly could create a road block. >> taking a step back, we've seen three very high profile appointments now critical of big tech what do you anticipate happening? do you think there is a risk of the tech giants being broken up? do you think we'll see restrictions put on them what is the long-term outcome here >> so the biden administration has adopted a pair of attack dogs and the courts have not been particularly friendly to these ideas of anti-trust reform so i think unless congress can get something together

khan for obvious reasons. in the world that i certainly used to report a lot on merger and acquisitions, when you talk to senior bankers or senior lawyers, there is no doubt it's a concern for them. >> absolutely. >> they don't say, it's not going to amount to anything. they actually say this is really potentially serious in terms of the ftc's ability to quash potential deal making prior to it even happening. if you want to do it, you can go ahead and potentially have to go to court if they're going to be aggressive on something, and you might still win, but it's going to take you years. so do you just say we're not going to do that they can have the power. >> they have the power of stalling. >> at a certain level. >> i think that one of the things that i was speaking with someone who has an asset for sale and said, listen, there's a gun to my head because lina is going to -- everyone's on a first name basis, it's like ridiculous lina khan is going to block this deal, but i said there's no -- >> it's also 3, 2

faisal khan, heckled and taunted, he joins us now.much. >> it's a pleasure. >> how did it get to the point where you would be assaulted and attacked in this ugly way? >> you know, i have to say that this is perhaps the latest symptom of the malaise that began in our country about 18 months ago when the pandemic first arrived on our shores. what was supposed to be a public health issue and emergency was heavily politicized at the federal, state and national level and we're seeing the latest symptoms of that erupt at a local level. more than 270 of my counterparts across the country have either resigned or been forced out of their jobs. and that is a tremendous loss to the public health workforce. i will say this, the st. louis area is an amazingly beautiful place. we have a great community, a loving, kind, gentle, kind-hearted community that takes care of each other. and so, you know, there are parts of the community that are experiencing an acute sense of frustration and fear over the uncertainty posed by the pandemic. and people inst

in tech news, amazon is seeking to force the new chair of the federal trade commission, lina khan, to recuse herself from anti-trust investigations into the company due to her past writings about the company. as a student at yale law school, khan wrote a widely read paper detailing how anti-trust laws had failed to prevent amazon from growing into a monopoly. chinese president xi jinping spoke before 70,000 people in tiananmen square today to mark 100 years since the founding of the chinese communist party. during his speech, xi pledged to reunify taiwan with china and warned against "bullying" by other countries. >> the chinese people have never bullied, oppressed, or subjugated the people of other countries. we have not done that in the past. we are not doing it now. we will not do it in the future. at the same time, the chinese people will never allow any foreign force to a bully, oppressed, or subjugate us. anyone who dares to try to do that, will have their heads at her in front of the great wall of steel. amy: in related news, the financial times report the u.s. and japan have b

on the ftc chair to recuse herself the tech giant filed a 25 page request pointing to chair lina khan'sons against amazon dating back to her days at yale law school theftc declined to comment saying petitions and letters to the commission aren't public as of now, the ftc has an open investigation into amazon's businesses practices and recently secured the right to review the company's proposed acquisition of hollywood studio mgm. joining us today, the author of the book "goliath:the 100 year war. matt stoler, good to see you. >> thank you for having me >> correct many if i'm wrong, it doesn't sound like amazon's letter has you convinced >> the chair, lina khan, is a pro free market advocate for business, she just opposes monopolists and sees the law in a particular way you'll find the biggest enemy of the competition and open markets is a monopolist and that's what you're seeing here. >> is there precedence for a move like this, for an actual rec recusal? >> not the way amazon is asking. amazon mischaracterized the precedence here. no one has ever said that if you're an enforcer and hav

a court to intervene just the same way as amazon is doing and i believe apple is doing, with lina khaning on some amazon cases, including its purchase of mgm studios, but the biden administration, from what i understand, feels pretty confident he's going to even withstand that. they feel very confident he's going to get through the senate despite the fact he could raise issues on his conflict of interest and he's a hard and progressive and one of the reasons why is because a lot of gop conservatives can't stand tech either, so the perfect storm is brewing. you wouldn't see it in the stock price of google or most of the tech shares, liz. investors are not really counting the regulatory risk and the breakup risk in these companies, and the risk that government does allow them to get bigger, but there's no doubt that the biden administration is putting together an anti-trust team between tim woo, between lina khan, between jonathan kanter, that has got a bullseye on the back of the big tech companies, and from what i understand, it begins with this waiver that they seek, so jonathan kante
