here we don't do deceptions at aei. but again, it really comes down to everybody understanding that they may just feel like an insignificant person or cog in the wheel, but that data trail could be exploited by somebody wishing us ill and then if i may just make one more point following up on what paul just said, so speed is of the essence, i think, that much is clear, both when it comes to disinformation operations and cyber operations, and it seems to me that one of our biggest vulnerabilities is we need a lot of time to conclusively establish what's behind the cyber attack or cyber intrusion, i should say, or disinformation campaign, and then a lot of time goes by, and then by the time we have established beyond reasonable doubts that such and such government was behind, then it's almost too late to do anything. and so i wish we could establish protocols that would allow us to act faster, even without reaching the level of certainty beyond reasonable doubt: and i think -- i wonder if we have to part with the self-imp

my name is john ferrari, i'm a nonresident, senior fellow here at aei. i work on defense acquisition and innovation topics following a long career in the united states army. it's my pleasure to be joined by dr. paul stockton, former assistants secretary of homeland defense, department of defense and a senior fellow of the john hopkins university's applied physics laboratory. we're also privileged to be joined by my colleague, aei senior fellow, elizabeth braw. dr. stockton's service as an is assistant secretary for president obama put her on the path to meet emergency challenges, cyber security and strategic planning. as an assistant secretary he was responsible for assuring the defense department to perform its critical mission. even if adversaries launched cyber attacks to disrupt the flow of electricity on military bases and operations depend. to build resilience against such threat, he developed unprecedented partnership with electric utilities, regulators and the department of energy. paul also led the department through superstorm sandy and other n

i'll leave paul to address the deception of -- not of aei but of ai.e don't do deception at aei, but again, it really comes down to everybody understanding that they may just feel like ab insignificant person or cog in the wheel, but their data trail could be exploited by somebody wishing us ill and then if i may make one more point off what powell just said. speed is of the essence. both disinformation and cyber operations and seems one o our biggest vulnerabilities is that we need a lot of time to conclusively establish to what's behind the cyber attack or cyber intrusion or disinformation campaign. and then a lot of time goes by. and by the time we have established beyond a reasonable doubt that such and such government was behind it, then it is almost too late to do anything. and so i risch we could establish protocols that would allow us to act faster, even without reaching the level of certainty beyond a reasonable doubt. i wonder if we have to just part with that self-imposed requirement. >> thank you. and we're approaching the end of our type.

at aei we value ideas and opinions. we want more speech, or opinions, more debate, more dialogue and thank you for being a socialist and for joining us and being willing to join us at an institution where our focus is on re-enterprise and market, as elevating the world. it's kind of amusing but i think this is exactly what i think tanks higher ed and basically what we should be doing with public discourse and the think this is a virtue. that being said i'm not 100% today a little under the weather so we do brief introduction and throw it to a really thoughtful and interesting guests. so this book makes the argument that today's left has by large abandoned the working class to fight the culture war about issues of identity. instead of building an agenda around the needs of actual working-class americans of all races who can be more conservative but left today is pushing highly niche issues rooted in ivy league universities, catholic culture and at the zionism open borders. is utterly alien to most working-class americans

we don't do deception at aei.gain, it really comes down to everybody understanding that they may just feel like an insignificant person or cog in the wheel, but their data trail could be exploited by somebody wishing us ill. then if i may just make one more point, so, speed is of the essence. that much is clear when it comes to disinformation operations and cyber operations. it seems to me that one of our biggest vulnerabilities is that we need a lot of time to conclusively establish what is behind the cyberattack or cyber intrusion, or disinformation campaign, and then a lot of time goes by. by the time we have established beyond a reasonable doubt that such and such government was behind and it's almost too late to do anything. i wish we could establish protocols that would allow us to act even without reaching the level of certainty beyond reasonable doubt. i wonder if we have to part with that self-imposed requirement? mr. ferrari: thank you. we are approaching the end of our time. paul, you can answer the ai

it is a distinct pleasure to be back at aei. as jim mentioned, in 2016i was here to lay out the innovation of embracing the agenda as i adopted as chairman of the cftc, and that agenda resulted in the cftc overseeing the world's first fully regulated marketplace for bitcoin futures, a market that remains the benchmark for liquid, transparent, and institutional trading and price discovery for crypto derivatives. today i would like to continue my advocacy for a regulatory embrace of american innovation. as explained in my new book, i believe the financial system and money itself is changing right before our eyes. i think we are in a fight for the future of money -- what it looks like, how it operates, who controls it, and what social values it carries. but before i tell you more about the fight for the future, let me set the scene with three observations coming out of my time in public service. the first of those is to note the obvious, that america's physical infrastructure, its bridges, its channels, its airports, mass transit s

so it's expand the house aei. one question.when i talk about this with people, one of the points that i emphasize is that a lot of people think that gerrymandering is in and of itself very bad. i think if you make that argument, it's very bad. but the more members of congress that you have, the harder it is, it seems to me, to make the truly ridiculous districts, just because you are diluting -- you are shrinking the sizes of the slices of the pie. so it's just harder to make a crazy district. is that actually a benefit that would come from this? because i have heard people push back on me on that. is that maybe a way to sell it? kevin? you want to jump in on that? process is often driven by >> realizing that the redistricting process is often driven by algorithm software, etc, etc, these are the sorts of tools people have to work with these days, i think it is fully possible that somebody could come up with an absolutely ridiculous map. even if you had 50 representatives from the great state of ohio or something like that. but

i'm going to -- i was checking out the expand the house aei hashtag. and lorilei, i won't give the last name, i don't know why, it just feels like a better course of action. how might the concept of an expanded house intersect with the recommendations of the modern -- what is it, the select committee on the modernization of congress which will focus on implementation in 2022? devolving functions, not necessarily decentralizing, is tantalizing in a digital evolution, especially with covid rules. thanks. why don't we go to lee? i'm not sure i understand the question, but i feel like there's a real question in there. >> yeah, i'm not sure i entirely -- there's a lot in there. somewhere there's a pony in there. no, just teasing. but sing the praises of the house committee on modernization, which has been doing, you know, yeoman's work on trying to think about how the house can function better. and you know, i don't know. i would guess if you have 150 new members that are setting up offices for the first time and are looking for guidance, so it's probably m

we at aei are interested in the digital business ecosystems as a business model or phenomenon.what we find is their very unique. typically a business, digital business ecosystem is built around a platform whether it's search or e-commerce for advertising,you name it . to support those platforms and the users that engage with them you need a lot of cloud infrastructure so you need machine learning . technologies, cloud computing, artificial intelligence plays an important role. dataanalytics . we find out when those pieces are in place ecosystems can expand ad infinitum. they can add app's whether it's syntax or energy tech or education tech, you name it. these ecosystems have really significant capacities for growth and expansion. what we've seen with the top size is they've known road monumentally over the past years. 700 transactions, 200 reportable under the hsa requirements. only one challenge, google google ita by the department of justice. we are worried about the activity we see from an antitrust 10 point. new players who are quietly engaging in massive levels of acquisi

there are prominent think tanks like aei, who reported that russia is using this for concessions thatme costs to them but obviously our top intelligence committee members from both sides of the aisle were on sunday shows yesterday saying they fear an invasion is imminent. remember we have elections coming up in ukraine. so what russia wants to do, whether it is ukraine, whether it is georgia that they invaded in 2008, the country is on the periphery. they do not want to them to join nato. putin is obsessed with nato. he doesn't want them on the border. doesn't want missile defense systems near russia. he is a smart negotiator and smart holding a gun to our head in the process. stuart: and our president looks weak at this point. that is a problem in of itself. last word to you, morgan. >> yeah. this is the same group of people that did not provide lethal aid to ukraine with russia encradled crimea. this is the same group of people that threatened action after russia invades. i don't think this can happen. it is certainly not a good thing for democracy. the it is not a good thing for eu
