s. digital currency is established? no, the digital us dollar is the exact reason why you need the current these in the 1st place. i mean, the us dollar is the exact antithesis to bit coin, and that will end up being the largest bitcoin on ramp eventually because of basically powers and less money printing that makes bitcoin all the more valuable and necessary. so i kind of think that this is more of a malicious rep, misrepresentation than anything because they're threatening to create the one coin to rule them all lower the rings. but i'll basically saying that this is going to be the end to shake out the market, saying that we're working on something that's going to going to make all of your crypto currencies, all of your investments, completely worthless. so you better get out right now while you have a chance. so, i mean, that's complete ridiculousness because there's only crypto currencies out there with so many different protocols and different use cases. so to say that one cbc coming out of the u. s. is going to

we see an interesting opportunity as it relates to digital media. obviously there's a transition going on. how do you actually make money with all the different constituents within the ecosystem, and can we build a business model around that? >> we have talked to a lot of folks about mobile technology. is there a large growth there, in your view? >> if you look at the press, we have made a pretty bold statement in saying that we are going to substantially accelerate our mobile business. the real question therefore consumers, we will grow our business by selling more devices and services, but the real question is, how do you accelerate that growth? there are some fundamental changes that may need to take place. as of right now, strictly my opinion here, the stranglehold within the carrier networks makes it very difficult for certain types of services, innovative services, new business models, to actually arise. we are hoping with the entry of the android platform and other people that are more internet aureate open to the -- enter into the mobile spa

they also have digital versions one day. and europe might get there 1st, some years on countries like spain are already planning plot pilot projects for the digital urine. the indian government argues that its digital currency will improve payments and access to money. also increasing transparency. deli also hopes that a digital currency will take even more steam out of decentralized crypto currencies, which it has tried to discourage charo car to k joins me from delhi for more charo this in the 1st retail pilot of the ruby. why now? well stephen, to be sure, the r b, i and the federal government have been working on this for a long time. in fact, we're back in 2017 was the 1st time when the federal government, us the r b i to study grip to currencies and is to currencies. and that was the 1st time when the arby issued a warning against crypto currencies and started working towards this digital currency thing. now the eye is believed to be a part of at least 26 central banks that are, that are studying the calls that have be

to digitize. if the national archive does not accept paper, it will go to the basement of the federal agency and rot. i think the availability of archival material digitally increases access enormously which is wonderful, but i think people have to realize there is still paper and people still have to know how to use paper. there still has to be some support for travel money so people can use paper. the important thing about digitization of archival material, as well as teaching, is we now have opportunity to have students use the kinds of materials that they never had access to before. you don't have to be teaching in a major city now for your students to have access to the kinds of primary sources that they would not have in some small town in michigan. susan: can you give our viewers a sense of what is happening to access to government records. has there been a trend to open up more or is it getting more secretive? james: there was a tremendous trend to open up more that began nine years ago. o

in this digital age. most of the world has gone digital now. we know what benefits it came with us when cellular telephones went digital. suddenly now there are all sorts of things that phones couldn't do when they were analog, and it just wouldn't make sense for broadcasting to be an analog island in a digital world, so we will come out of this with digital broadcasting in the country, we'll be one of the first countries to have achieved the transition, and this will be an area in which we can lead the world in doing the kinds of things possible with digital television that weren't possible with analog. >> host: i know you're a communications lawyer who came on for this job specifically in march 2009, and you're the digital tv coordinator at the fcc, but do you know what's going to happen with the spectrum right away? on june 13th is the auctioned-off spectrum going to be used immediately? >> guest: much of the spectrum has been auctioned and bought by wireless companies, and many of them are prepare tod

we think that in the digital -- digital tv should not be sacrificed on the altar of the digital deviced to tom stafford last week, and he said the most extreme case was off the table, mandatory li taking it back are pushing hdl. is there some middle ground can fine with the fcc? >> we are open to discussing this and are looking at it and utilizing the spectrum efficiently. nobody uses it more efficiently than broadcasting, but i do not know until i see their proposal. i have a moving target. i do not know what i am trying to kick the ball over or what i am trying to avoid. we are not saying a blanket no, we are saying let us see the proposal and we will try to calculate. the problem is that these are not straight lines with the spectrum. it is a blanket quilt of how it is utilized from community to community. when you say let's take it back or turn it in, i don't know how that translates, or whether or not we could share the space. the technology broadcasters use is not compatible with the digital technology that 121 devices used. until i see their proposal, i do not know if it is tech

they have digital footprints, they have your digital footprints, and they also have your physical footprint, as they know a lot more about you. at basal natalie, they can use that information to provide or at the start to create an identity theft type of exercise. they can maybe go to a bank pretending to be take loans in your name, take credits in your name when they access your email through fishing attacks. they can then use your identity within the organization to reach out to other systems within the organization that might store either personal information of customers or maybe some secret intellectual property that only your organization hass. for example, that designed for the next car. if you're a car manufacturer or the design for the next i phone, if you're apple or some other organization that's creating innovative products, those exist assistance. and hackers and attackers are always trying to gain the upper hand and competitive advantage by reaching those systems and maybe selling it or providing it to competitors. so there has been a lot of progress from the hacker side, a lo

what's the downside of digital learning? >> guest: well, one that i have just recently written about it's as education becomes unbundled and as students assemble learning from many different sources within the school day and outside the school day, it's going to become much more important to provide really strong guidance and southern for our high school kids. so the guidance isn't as good as it should be today, and i think as we expand digital learning opportunities, we need to make sure that there's a sustained adult relationship at school that's helping them make really good digital choices that really prepares them for college and careers. >> host: tom vander ark, are there more opportunities for cheating with online learning? >> guest: not any more than there are in today's classroom. there's lots of cheating that happens in the good old-fashioned way, passing papers around. but i think the online providers are pretty smart about this and thinking hard about how they verify student identity. the people doing online test

what is the downside of digital learning? have just recently written about is, it is as education becomes unbundled and learning from many different sources, it is going to become much more important to provide really strong guidance of support for our high school kids. isn't as good as it should be today. as we expand we need to make sure there is a sustained adult relationship at school that is helping them make good digital choices that prepares them for college and careers. >> are the more opportunities cheating?ing -- for >> not any more than there are in today's classroom. there is lots of cheating that happens in the good old-fashioned way. online providers are pretty smart about this. how are thinking hard about they verify student identity. people doing online testing pay close attention to this. i don't think it is an increased risk. >> our textbooks obsolete? >> definitely. districts should buy textbooks. it is silly. district lastas week and helped them decide not to make a $10 million adoption. instead, increase

after all, it's updating digital lungess, right? just moving data, we can send pictures or videos to any one on the planet almost instantly and for free. we live in the h of the internet, but the bank seemed to be stuck in the past century. so what if the slow inexpensive middleman with a multiple ledges could be replaced by a giant database, synchronized over the internet? that's the big idea behind bitcoin. and it's run by a decentralized global network of powerful computers and regular laptops. this immutability is the 1st rule of big coin. it means no one can ever change was once recorded in the block chain, or spend the same coin twice. that's also called censorship resistance and it's critical to bitcoin being used as real money award winning journalist laura, she tells me a story about women bloggers in a fantasy on being paid in bitcoin and that one of the women that hadn't abusive husband and saved up her big coins and eventually was able to divorce him because she was able to control her money when she earned the big coins

licenses are digital. and so it should be really an easy thing to say anything that's paper let's move it to digital. let's allow companies that have obligations to not file anything in paper and move to digital. it should not be a time consuming difficult process. >> commissioner mcdowell, let me have your thoughts on this. obviously i can tell you're not in favor of it based on this "the washington post" article. i'm still perplexed as to why -- why this is such a priority. >> good question. first two key points to emphasis as proposed by the fcc the word immediately implies a realtime online posting and also propriortary information something i didn't get a chance to talk about in my opening remarks. broadcasters came to us in 2007 when the fcc first moved to have most of the public inspection file posted online. the chairman is right in most cases that is much more cost effective and easier for everybody and is it easier accessible to members of the public can look to see what kind of programming of lo

but if you're in fact so big and intent on digit -- digitalizing i can't say that word -- digitalizing the political ads, then why -- wouldn't you digitize all media buys? >> it's not in the statute it's not in your rules. it's not something that's been raised. it's not something that we're looking at. the question is that the commission is considering. again we have a record before us. there have been a number of legitimate issues raised and the staff is looking at all of those. but the general question is once there are disclosure obligations, should they move from paper to digital as across the board we're moving from paper to digital? >> i understand what you're saying, it still doesn't -- doesn't compute to me. do you have -- have you all done a cost benefit analysis on this -- on determining how much this would cost? >> the record and response to our notice contains a good deal of information on cost and benefits. we'll certainly look at the cost and benefits before doing anything. that would be part of the analysis. i think an important part of the analysis. >> okay. commissione

i don't know that we will see and all digital war. i don't think that digital war kennicott which everything you need to acknowledge in a war. i think it is something more use as an adjunct to -- adjunct to conventional warfare to get assistance you normally can't get that, to get information you normally can't do that. someone was describing to me in world war ii despite all of the carpet bombing that occurred you still needed troops on the ground. i think that's the same thing with digital warfare that you can disable computers you can attack computers, attack systems that are connected to computers bundled link in the in the war person are you you a student boots on the ground and still made to see territory. i'm not sure we will ever see a wholly digital warfare. >> host: have there been any efforts among the countries in the world to develop standards or at least rules when it comes to cyber warfare? >> guest: we are just seeing that now, that's what was interesting about stuxnet is this wasn't fully developed prior to the launch

it can be put together in a digital manner. we have so much information. -- a time where a kid doesn't go to google. they go to the smithsonian and understand this is the real deal. that is what is so important about the smithsonian. me -- it will be achievable because look at what is happening today with young people in particular. where do they get their information? oft i love about the fact what we are doing is connecting them on their smart to the fact that is something that is real that exists here on the mall. that is important for young people, and the conversations you can have again people in a manner which maybe they don't have otherwise. >> this whole idea of being able to connect with the digitized audience. objects to get the information embedded in them. we have scanned over one million sheets this year. we are using computer learning to identify the family of plants on the sheets. imagine someone in south america snaps a picture of a tree. now they can access all botanical knowledge. where most of our food comes

in today's world, evidence of crime is increasingly digital evidence. as we work to secure our data and our communications from hackers, we must recognize that our citizens face a far broader array of threats. hackers are a danger, but so are violent criminals, terrorists, drug traffickers, human traffickers, fraudsters and sexual predators. while we should not hesitate to deploy encryption to protect ourselves from cyber criminals, this should not be done in a way that eviscerates society's ability to defend itself against other types of criminal threats. in other words, making our virtual world more secure should not come at the expense of making us more vulnerable in the real world. all our personal rights, all the rights we cherish, whether to life, to liberty, to property, speech or privacy, ultimately depends upon our ability to maintain a safe society. whether you agree with john lock about everything, he was certainly right about that. the founding document of our republic, the constitution states at the outset, that one of the principal reasons

actually one thing we should be talking about is not the digital divide but digital divides in plural. there is international digital divide, rural divide. northern and southern and so on and then there's disadvantaged population that also in those device needs to be crossed in any way but they are growing around the world. >> you also rank the most affordable internet. yirndyinld, thenindia, and mauritius and disposable income is much less in india. >> metadata in income packets. one thing we should not forget around the world there are now as many mobile subscriptions as there are people but not equally distributed. approximately half the people have a mobile phone equal parkts withpackets over sms and data plans. >> jake and i were just talking about, a lot of us have data phones it doesn't necessarily lead to the same prosperity that you can gain by a are broadband connection and a computer. >> absolutely i agree. but you have to start somewhere. again there are about a half a bill of thebillion that lives outside of any reach whatsoever. there is a lot of piece to happen and some

digital economy. how concerned are you just in terms of that kind of patchwork and the things that are broad and overarching. >> it is not just about technology. every company uses technology foundation only. i think china in this case could be the role maker if we are engaged with others and have strong digital roles. we have to think broadly and make sure we are bringing digital in. we have some agreements. we have to realize this is an important part of what we are going to do going forward. i want us to catch up but also be future look into. >> we will let you exit the virtual stage now. >> technology is helping advance an incredible world. innovation is pushing us forward. we worry about our privacy online. trust in the tools that our doctors will use. trust in the technology a better, more equitable healthy -- trust the software, trust the hardware. trusted platforms, trusted services. together we can build more trust in future. join us. >> now i would like to start the fires that portion of thi

you can't teach cooking out a kitchen, so we need to bring digital media into the classroom so people can practice in the environments they're in all the time outside of school. >> and i would say that having listened to the word "media literacy" as far as back when i was carrying 3-inch quarter cassettes years ago and it was a great job. it really was. to teach media and digital literacy out of context is a fool's error and we have the boring curriculums in the world and teaching it out of the context. >> we have to stop blocking. >> yeah. i don't know. >> somebody -- okay. >> teachable moment. >> i hear everybody talk about -- >> thank you. >> yeah. so i have learned the phrase "teachable moment" since becoming a resource officer and i try to incorp rat that with a discipline situation and i try to use the teachable moment with the parents as well so you can move forward all together instead of just making everybody upset. >> i have some comments actually responding to what you asked about, the zero tolerance and different proposallity. one of my colleague and looked at this across

laws are not keeping pace with the rapidly evolving digital landscape. over the past several years netflix and amazon have completely disrupted the video world. the iphone has just celebrated its tenth anniversary since redefining personal computing and technology. most of the government policies dealing with video, wireless platform are written for world where none of these things even existed. it's a testament to the ingenuity of the american business person and entrepreneur that they've been able to adapt and succeed with laws that are out of date. i don't doubt that they can and will continue to work around the growing shortcomings of our nation's laws, american companies and consumers deserve better from our government. first, we need need to modernize our communication laws to facilitate the growth of the internet itself. second, we need to update government policies to better reflect the innovations made possible by the internet and other digital technologies. chairman of the senate committee most focused on helping businesses find opportunities f

you talk about digital tools. can you speak to any digital tools that you see coming on the horizon that are really critical to enabling the realization of this hybrid workplace in the future? >> it's really interesting because there are so many tools that people are creating. people will send me hey this is what we are doing and this is going to be great and i don't think it's going to change. rather than the plethora of things that will come on line that we need to integrate into our world what we need to do is to really think about the city versus the newness or richness of media and incorporate those into our workplaces and they think the ones that you have chosen whether it's some form of internal social -- we can help people use those batters -- better learn how to maximize it there rather than bringing in new tools and i will say one more thing. and the last 13 months or so many companies that reported a lot of cybersecurity issues or breaches. that's because we have implemented all of these new tools which

during the pandemic, they struggled to find customers because of their lower digital literacy. as we recover from this crisis, governments need to help as their needs become more competitive and reap the full benefits of digitalization. italy's g20 presidency endorses the global partnership for financial inclusion to promote the use of digital tools and protect smes. women entrepreneurs row among the hardest hit by the economic downturn. they faced more limited access to loans than men and shouldered the larger share of domestic work at the time of widespread schools closures. italy has put female empowerment at the core of its g20. there can be no rapid, fair and sustainable recovery if we forget about half of the world. together, we have stepped up the g20 commitment to counter gender inequality in the workforce, promote female leadership and remove old barriers to women's full participation in society and economies. we have promoted women's and girls study of stem subjects and more equal distribution of domestic -- between women and men. a just society berlin -- begins at ho

the find what digital currency is. is that it coin, what exactly is digital currency? -- is that bitcoin? what exactly is digital currency? guest: a digital currency backed by the simple -- by the central bank. that is the same as a dollar or nickel or quarter. the things you have in your pocket. the 20's, 100s, exact same. if they get a system in place, you will be able to use it to buy things at the grocery store, to shop online, to do all the things that you do. that is very different from bitcoin, cryptocurrencies that people conflate with digital currencies. digital currencies, it's an umbrella term. sandals are shoes, but all shoes aren't sandals. is very important to point out that most people don't use crypto for currency as in buying and selling. they use it more as an asset. those are digital currencies because they do have exchange value. people do pay for things with digital currency. mostly with the dark web. one dollar on a piece of paper. that would be a piece of paper note. i want that. i will pay a dollar for that. even the value might start to increas

but once it gets to the irs, we want to be able to scan it and digitalize -- scan and digitalize these forms, adding efficiency. while being able to scan in textile firms is a major milestone, it is still one of a broader effort to modernize the agency as well as bring the irs fully into the digital age. digitalization has far-reaching implications for how the irs can improve service. improving service is not just about online capabilities. transforming the irs also means continuing to improve service on the phones and in person. and we have also been stepping up our efforts on enforcement. for example, we are expanding our work to ensure millionaires play by the same rules as everyone else. in this area, we are starting to see results. as the secretary mentioned, holding millionaire tax delinquents accountable and collecting hefty amounts of owed taxes. tax evaders should not be driving maseratis and brantley while other people are playing by the rules. the bottom line is the irs and after the inflation reduction act is very different than irs before. this is good for taxpayers and go

we need to empower all americans with digital opportunities. just thethat these are fx these rules have had on the internet today. think about how they will affect the internet we need 10, 20 years from now. the digital world bears no .esemblance to an electric line the use of those pipes would be roughly constant over time. say there has been innovation in these areas. by contrast, online traffic is exploding and we consume exponentially more traffic and data over time. with the dawn of the internet, with the development of high bit applications like virtual , we are imposing ever more demands on the network and over time, that means our networks will need to scale. we need to take a brief recess. >> i need everyone to leave. we will call everybody back in. thank you. >> sorry for the interruption. we can now reconvene. >> where was i? consider that these are just the effects that these rules have had on the internet of today. think about how they will affect the internet we need 10, 20 years from now. andne traffic is exploding with the dawn

we are coming to you through digital technology. more than 200 websites attract more than 100 million unique visitors. last year our museums or galleries had 27 visits and another 4.5 billion people -- four point 5 million people visited our traveling exhibitions. our collections totaled 138 million objects including 100 million scientific specimens 300,000 works of art, 200 library volumes, more than 2000 live animals, and much more. some of those treasures you see on the table in front of you. we protect and present some of the nation's greatest treasures. the portrait of george washington to the skeleton of the t racks. we take stewardship of these treasures very seriously. we have made many improvements and completed an in-depth study of collections that will inform our long-term capital plan. our scientists are making important discoveries, especially regarding biodiversity issues for global earth observatory network. it's worldwide partnership is monitoring the health of 6 million trees in 24 countries. we seek to replicate th

professor, first of all what is digital democracy? [laughter] >> the book is really about the claims a lot of people have had a lot of the internet is changing politics. everything from how campaigns are run to how we get our news to how we process and interact with the politicians and what is the myth of the digital democracy. >> when we talk about the internet from very early on in the early 90's and what of the claims are not of the internet change in the world but also how the internet has changed politics and in particular are very robust very durable claims we have about how the internet is supposed to empower ordinary citizens. so the hope was that the internet would allow the campaigns to be run differently and to be less elite and focused and driven but allows citizens to in some cases even create their own news and the hope was ordinary people would have a greater voice in the political system. some parts of that has come true with many others, not to read >> what are some success stories? >> i argued in the book that certai

revolution, digital transformation. on the other hand, that transformation has allowed other industries to rise up and they have different interests. amazon, apple, microsoft, google are important companies, big companies, friends and enemies to publishers because we have business relationships with all of them but on the other hand they extract a toll for getting our content material to the reading public and therefore i think there are differences of the opinion that occasionally arise as you might have heard. one of them, i am going to talk about two areas where we have current issues of great significance. one is fair use in the academic environment. some of you know three of our member publishers, when georgia state moved from printed course packs as materials for higher education courses to e reserves they made another change, stopped paying a penny for anything put up on the reserves no longer how long it was an it is since 2006 not a penny has been paid and because the georgia state was in the view of publishers

or is it digital gold? a totally new asset class, a bit against the banker's and insurance against inflation, protection from corrupt politicians and a weapon against the state. maybe the end of money as we know it. for some entropy nurse, it represents a shortcut to fund their dreams, a platform for federal finance, which is why and come and fight it. some say public block chains are just slow and useless databases, while big business is busy building private block chains to boost efficiency. or maybe this decentralized technology is a new protocol layer for the internet. upon which we can build a better web to dethrone the tech giant, reclaim free speech, protect online identities and facilitate free trade in a border less digital economy. and yes, maybe even save the planet. less and never ending list of crypt hopin ideas there's a bit too much to ask of a 9 page document. yes, you are the internet and the web started out as white papers too. but it took a decade off before the infrastructure was built,

a digital fort knox to safeguard that digital gold. we believe this is a valuable asset we should store for the american public and preserve that value for the long term. again, i'm not going to advise any individual on what they should do because when an individual makes a decision, they have to take into account their personal financial needs and the reality is that crypto including bitcoin is very volatile and so i would not -- just speaking frankly -- if you're a retiree on a fixed income and you need that money, i would not invest in any volatile asset. the decision we believe is right for the federal balance sheet is to hold on to the bitcoin that we have because we think it is in the interests of the american people and if we had this policy a decade ago, we would be $17 billion richer. we missed out. the mistake was not doing this 10 years ago. reporter: national security threat, 60% of the mining of bitcoin is by our enemies. any of these empty buildings that doge is talking about, can they be retrofitted into mining to protec

we just think that in the digital the tv shouldn't be sacrificed on the altar of the digital divide. >> host: well, have you made that case to the fcc? because i talked to their top staffer in terms of these scenarios last week, and he said the most extreme case was off the table, basically handtorially taking it back or pushing hd out, so is there some middle ground you can find with the fcc? >> guest: we are open to discussing this and to looking at it and to utilizing the spectrum efficiently, and nobody uses it for efficiently than broadcasting, but i don't know until i see their proposal i've got a moving target. i don't know what i'm trying to kick the ball over or trying, what end zone i'm trying to avoid. we're not saying no blanketly, we're just saying, let us see the proposal, and we'll try to calculate it. the problem, however, is that these are not straight lines in spectrum. it's sort of a blanket quilt of how it's utilized from community to community, and so when you say let's take it back or turn the it in, i don't know fully how that translates or whether or not we co

the us digital coin a us, you know, central back digital point c, b, d. c is just more of the saying fee on currency. it doesn't change anything as it affects anything. so when jerome palo sitting there looking into his computer, so it's such a nerdy way, right. and he's like, oh yeah, this will absolutely fix all the problems. we don't need stable coins, we don't need bitcoin, we don't each other. once we have the, the us back digital know we need them because we don't trust the us back to anything right now because it's worthless, it's devalued it's abuse and it's corrupt and the point, the promise, the idea behind bitcoin in the beginning, behind all crypto currencies, was a promise to break 3 from a b r system that merely declares its value to the force of the us military to the force of law enforcement and the i r s. that's all the force that we have. and by the way, one other thing, he says there will be no interest in these other coins. once the us has their own digital currency, that's a lie. the only way there will be a lack of interest is when y

digital security as we move to digital technology we receivea host of different types of work . some feature films to important books, to works that have not even been released to the public yet so security of our system is a critical aspect of the development so that's one of the thingswe are focusing on as we develop with the library . >> you worked in office for some time, haven't you -mark. >> yes. >> and what's the difference in the either security concerns for yoursense of security now compared to five years ago or whatever number you want to give me ? >> i would say the main difference is the focus we've been placing on security , acknowledging and recognizing how critical it is to the management of our it system and really making sure that at every level ready is considered as we begin developing the new system area and so i think the focus in prioritization of security is one of the main differences from when we were using a class i would point out before we go, senator , while you said you worked there for some time about this job really for the department is the desig

money, in the case we're talking about a digital dollar or central bank digital currency. i've actually had the pleasure talk about our digital dollar project with both cheer pals and governor brader and they both get it. governor brader in particular, gable, a really very thoughtful speech. not too long ago, where she said that the emergence of such a digital currency is so fun to mental, she can almost not rep or head around the united states being a participant in this area. and you're right. the fact that matter is the united states is not what i would call in the 1st hello ton of writers. in this, in this movement toward the digital currency, where, somewhere in the middle of the pack, and it's the world's most important reserve currency. i long been an advocate for the united states to a basis, exploration of central bank digital currency. and i believe that the right way to advance it is in partnership with the private sector. at the end of the day, money is as much a social construct as it is a government construct. and we've got to make sure that social values of

of course the co-founder of facebook and bought "the new republic" last year with the aim to print digital media for the age. thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me. >> you just interviewed the president along with your editor. how did he strike you? how would you describe his attitude, his approach to a second term? a sense of confidence as he seeks to build legacy but also achieve some real accomplishment. >> well, there are a couple things. i mean, in the interview in the oval office itself he was very careful and very thoughtful in each one of the responses and really wanted to choose the words right. the words he chose particularly when it came to the second term and his relationship with republicans were at least to me seemed like a very different obama than four years ago. he seemed much more -- i won't say combative but certainly much ready to go to congress and say what he believed in, push for his agenda and use the power of the presidency to try to build some consensus. the question is how, right? i mean, it's a different approach. but the technique that he's going to use wh

one of the reasons that run was so devastating was because we live in a digital world. there was panic on social media, they were -- there were calls to get out while you can. and people were able to make withdraws almost instantaneously, $42 billion was attempted to be withdrawn from that bank. we've never seen anything like that. how does any bank withstand a run like that? >> i think this is in some ways a reality that we cannot fully stop when it comes to the fact -- the fast-moving communications and actions. we already have 70 ways at men -- people can -- we already have so many ways that people can transferoney. that will only accelerate one of the things that the cfpb will accelerate -- introduce next year. it has real implications for how we ensure that banks and other inns fusions are liquid -- and other instutions are liquid and have skin in the game. i do think, with the right oversight, they would able to withstand those demands. of course, i don't think that there is a way to put the genie back in theottle when it comes to 24/7 communition. it is a realy w
