peter: is this a book about china?teven: china is an important question that permeates throughout the book. one of the questions i wanted to examine when writing this book was essentially, to what extent is china leading the push when it comes to countries adopting some of these types of techniques, mass surveillance, censorship, so forth, that are akin to the chinese model we are seeing? in looking at this question, looking at it on the ground in specific countries, as well as globally, one of my key takeaways is that while china's model has had a negative influence when it comes to the adoption of these techniques, china by and large is not the primary driver when it comes to individual leaders making decisions about whether to use specific digital technologies for repressive ends or not. peter: in the beginning of the book, mr. feldstein, you write that you spend time in the philippines, ethiopia, hong kong, and thailand. why those four countries? steven: a few different reasons. each of them represents a slightly d

peter: elizabeth nolan brown is on your screen. she is an editor with reason magazine and she has a recent cover story for that publication, the bipartisan antitrust crusade against big tech. ms. brown, if you could, first of all, tell us about the philosophy of reason magazine. elizabeth: reason magazine is an especially libertarian magazine focused on politics and culture. we're not a member of the libertarian policy, -- party, though. skeptical of increased government power in all sorts of rooms, both economic and -- realms, both economic and social and civil liberty realms. peter: overall, how are each of the parties attacking big tech in the antitrust sense? elizabeth: it's interesting because both of the parties, republicans and democrats, have been attacking people from all sorts of angles, and antitrust is just sort of one of them. but they have coalesced on using more antitrust enforcement in order to go after tech companies. but they both have very different reasons for doing so, even though they sort of coalesce on the s

peter: sam sabin?: yeah, and maybe on that note, there has been a lot of talk, especially in congress, about getting the u.s. cyber command involved, and maybe employing some of these things you were just talking about in response to some of the recent ransomware attack slinked to cyber criminal groups that are based in russia, or effectively based in russia or around that area. i'm curious if you think there is a role for cyber command here, or if any sort of offensive strategy would be best handled by other agencies that are involved in this? sujit: well, what i say, sam, is that any response to this global cyber threat requires an all-tools approach. and this is something the government's been consistent about for many years across many administrations. it takes a combination of diplomatic efforts, law enforcement efforts through fbi and department of justice, economic efforts, the treasury department levying sanctions, and, as well, when appropriate, the defense department acting through offensive

peter: how did you get into that? sujit: i started my career as a prosecutor in the district of maryland. i increasingly started working on technology and privacy issues as part of my prosecution job. as time went on, i started gravitating more toward fourth amendment issues, electronic evidence issues, national security issues, and i work for rod rosenstein, u.s. attorney in maryland for many years. he became deputy attorney general, he asked me to join him at main justice headquarters to work on the cyber portfolio. peter: now that you have left doj, what are you doing? sujit: i am a partner at a law firm, and international law firm. i am based in the washington dc office but have clients and matters i work on around the globe. peter: what kind of matters are you working on? sujit: i have translated expertise i developed in the government to the private sector. we have clients that deal with technology issues, internal investigations, corporate investigations involving the government, corruption issues, cryptocurren

peters: okay.t's very concerning. were there not procedures for the head of the intelligence on the us capitol police to get the intelligence report, to review it, especially when there were significant other indications of potential violence, and make sure that you, as the leader, had that knowledge on which to develop additional plans, if additional plans were needed? steven sund: i'm sure that's something that they're looking at in their current after action. yes, there is a process for it, but again, as i mentioned before, that was raw intelligence that was coming in. again, taken in consideration with everything else, none of the other intelligence was showing that we're looking at this type of a broad insurrectionist type of a event with thousands of armed, coordinated individuals. sen. peters: i know you're saying that folks are looking at that now, but my question was, did you have a procedure for important intelligence to be brought directly to your attention and did that system break down

good evening, peter. >> peter: good evening, bret.e that officials around here keep repeating over and over that they get to get more people vaccinated at the same time they're saying vaccinating people are catching and transmitting this delta variant so officials around here are in a pickle. >> jay, you are beginning to convince the american people there is a thing called climate crisis. about time. [laughter] >> peter: climate change was on the president's plate today as his administration confronts another crisis the contagious delta variant. >> why is the president asking vaccinated people to mask up if there have been 0.0035% of the 161 million fully vaccinated americans who have had break through cases? >> let me give you the facts about the delta variant. it spreads more than twice as easily from one person to another. and it's spreading rapidly. >> peter: now masks are being encouraged by a trump era southern the same one who initially told them not to wear during the pandemic's earliest days. >> we know there are a lot of peo

yamiche: peter, i want to come to you. the press secretary was calling out facebook, the president said, the quote is, they're killing people, whensked about facebook and their responsibility for various misinformation. facebook did push out and say actually we're saving lives. that said, talk about the president -- the strategy here and the challenge here when it comes to vaccine misinformation and what can the president really do? >> the problem -- peter: the problem is the person vaccine skeptics are looking to for validation and guidance is not president biden. he's not the person who has the sway with the people who are so reluctant. the people who are influential with that group either haven't chosen to speak out visibly or have but haven't made much of an impact. i think obviously president trump. not all these vaccine resisters are president trump voters but a lot are. even though he has every political reason in the world and legacy reason in the worrell to take ownership of the vaccine since it was developed on h

peter: no, it does not.s very interesting, we have taken inputs from economists and meetings i'd day after day. this is a supply-side shock. that is the part that is similar to the 1970's. it has been global as well, which is another very important factor. supply shortages are everywhere so the numbers are always going to be sequentially more -- than people expected. they fed it. they fed the economy to keep demand up. the actual problem is the supply-side shock. inflation is a radical expectations theory. you take demand away, you lower incomes, it takes care of itself and then you go through process of going back to sort of stagnation, but certainly disinflation once again. that is what the fed is saying and probably why the reaction in the markets was not as significant yesterday because the fed is still jaw-boning the idea that this is transitory, as is the bank of england. mark: i agree with you that this does not resolve the situation if this is transitory or not. any rational person would expect high

peter: i would tend to disagree with what you said.hink they want to see inflation reaching 2% well ahead of the projection horizon. they want to see it. so it is also more closer to the fed. by not ending this review, there was a gap between the united states, the federal reserve which has known its strategy a long time, and the ecb, which remains ambiguous about the outcome. i think now there is a clear difference between the u.s. and the ecb. i agree with you that it is not a strong as the guidance in the u.s., but the economic cycle has been quite different between the u.s. and the euro area. i think broadly speaking, and relative terms, it is dovish ecb relative to the fed. alix: do you think the ecb can ever raise rates, ever?
