fire, as you may know, as many call for stronger regulations and antitrust warnings joining us, ben smithitor and chief at buzzfeed, who recently published an article, "there's blood in the water in silicon valley," which i think widely thought to have changed the conversation as to how politics are buffeting big tech. why now, why write this piece now? >> i think these tech companies have really for a decade been seen as these dynamic, positive forces in american life and there's just this combination of things happening critically a perception they face at google in particular were involved in skrcrewing up e 2016 election. that got a lot of people mad, and the broadening extent of all of their market power, in particular amazon, this sense they are a really outsized role in retail that everyone feels now, that is no longer over there on the internet. >> i question your premise a little bit you say that tech hasn't had to contend with its government moment yet, but we had microsoft antitrust, which you do mention. google has been under scrutiny for the past decade for various things, in

summer twenty eighty perhaps this is a kind of turning point in mexican politics as well ben smith good to talk to thank you. thank you. kenya's supreme court has criticised the election board for a fusing to comply with an order to open computer servers used in last month's presidential poll it says this means the opposition's claims of fraud could be true the court has been expanding why is it an old president his reelection a new poll is due in october a correspondent stephanie decker is in nairobi talk us through the findings stephanie. we knew that they were going to be pointing the finger at the electoral commission so they called the i.e.d. the but it is quite damning language again and you just read out some of the things that the judges have been saying that the idea he has infiltrated and compromised touch you know what you just mentioned they refused to open their servers for investigation and if they had nothing to hide they would have given access to the logs also saying kenyans injured long hours and cast their vote and after that it became opaque and that they cannot conf

of course, follows ben smith's long piece yesterday, guys, in "buzz feed," basically arguing the tides are rapidly turning and for some of these companies, henry, they are going to be caught in a vice between the left and the right you agree? >> oh, absolutely. i think the last couple of years really are the years that silicon valley idealism has collided with the real world, and there are two issues one is the media issue facebook, google, youtube, all of the different components, these are huge media and communications networks now, and in the united states and in most countries, these industries have been heavily regulated and very clear stipulations about what can and can't appear, how they can be used. you think about the idea of russia coming in and using nbc and comcast to influence our election what would happen? that's exactly what happened here and the idea that they are going to somehow escape, hey, we're just a platform, we have nothing to do with that. good news, they are moving in that direction the other issue is antitrust, just the amount of power that these companies h

peace and security of israelis together with peace and security of the palestinians we heard from ben smith earlier a journalist and author on the palestinian israeli conflict who said despite the details of the trump peace deal being unclear palestinian officials have historically supported the u.s. . the problem goes back before trump and that's how we've got to where we are today in terms of. the palestinian strategy for a long time while this idea has been that if you please watch washington if you're close with washington with whoever's in the white house that that will produce pressure on israel to make concessions and to earn your keep ation and so forth that hasn't worked to date and it's certainly not working with a man like donald trump in the white house in donald trump's been there for nine months now also in office he hasn't once even verbally committed to the two state solution framework that is that has shaped the the international peace process to date and palestinian officials i think more of desperation than anything else are hoping that trump can make quote unquote that u

you can't help but be successful this is kind of an adam smith ben franklin classical economics concept. bubut we have lost that supply-side view of the world and now it's more demand. we shifted from these views which isn't to say they haven't provided an important contribution. we need to encourage the industry and prudence and sadly if you look at the last administration. it was full employment and he never ran a surplus except maybe the first year because he inherited from bill clinton the democrat into the improvements didn't matter that much either so we've got to live within our means of. not a single community bank is being presented since passed in 2010. there is dozens of banks providing bu that not a single . >> as somebody picks up the structure of production as not an economist, will they understand this book? >> the understand introduction but it is fairly heavy it's meant to be written with economists to convince the heart and soul and mind and discipline before you reach out to the general public. it's in layman's terms in the topline of total spending activity in the ec

ben. >> yeah. i strongly agree with shepherd smith and i think that's a conspiracy theory. my original point, the point here about yesterday is that a lot of the players that were out there protesting were not involved when colin kaepernick was doing this a year ago. a lot of them got involved because they don't like donald trump so yesterday for all of them was not about police brutality. it was about not liking donald trump and that's why they got involved yesterday. second point about this is i have no problem with people protesting whatever they want to protest, but there are consequences to your action. my real problem is not with the players. my problem is with the nfl. the nfl is an organization that obviously really doesn't have a soul on any issue. they disrespect the flag but they want to have the flag out there to play to the base of their fans that are actually very patriotic people. they also claim they're going to stand next to the players, but they also stand next to the players that beat their wives and girlfriends and help in covering up -- >> what does thi

smith plastic tumbler. greg: that was what berkeley was preparing for ben shapiro. that little fella with a squeaky voice.when cal berkeley played host to his fees by the conservative radio show host the deal with protesters the school beefed-up security to the tune of $600,000. the school also shut down the buildings and barricaded the halls where shapiro spoke and leading up to the speech told students and faculty to seek counseling. how pathetic. pathetic. these measures weren't about accommodating shapiro or free speech but about accommodating people afraid of speech. here is the crowd chanting outside shapiro's speech about his speech being violence. that is confusing. if speech is violence, shouldn't they shut up? i think it is safe to say that these are not bright people. kat, thank you, you can plot any time. [applause] speech is violence, kat. >> no, it isn't. also, i don't think these kids are really afraid of him or really were worried but i think they were just going along with it because they think it's cool and hip and i found proof of that. can we bring that up real quick. been a sharp euro

governing, and unlike ben wikler or a lot of other people, he hasn't spent his entire life thinking about what if he became president of the united states? the famous -- the rock star, patty smith, said that when she became a rock star, when people wanted to interview her, she was ready because she had spent 20 years in front of the mirror interviewing herself. right? she really thought i'm going to be a rock star and be ready for it. donald trump didn't do that. he didn't know people. he didn't have the connections. he didn't understand the process. he was manifestly unprepared to be president of the united states. and so what i knew from the very beginning was that when he became president of the united states, if that did happen -- i'm not going to tell you i predicted it -- i said it could happen. i thought, no, come on. right? i was let down. but one thing i was absolutely certain of, from the start, was that donald trump would be defined not by what he did, by what the people he appointed to key positions did. that his presidency would not be about him, it would be about how the distributed the power of the presidency and the is is a very big deal. everyone in this room s
