you go to the drc where i went to a week and half ago to visit our sites and ask someone are you worried about influenza? they laugh about laugh at you. they don't vaccinate against influenza because they've got enough albums with malaria, tuberculosis, and ebola. we have a perception, a misconception that it is not a serious disease that hundreds of thousands of people die from it each year and when you get a pandemic, millions and millions of people. we really do have a problem of how the world perceives influenza and it will be very difficult to change that unless you do it from within i don't care what your perception is, we are going to address the problem. in a disruptive way. >> in the long run, over time, if the 2009 pandemic had been much more deadly, without have ended up being the better thing for humanity? come on, be honest. >> would it have been? no, because we had not as serious as the 1918, but we had a pretty bad pandemic in 1977 and 1968. that didn't change much. >> but was not before don't have some technological tools now at our disposal that we didn't have them? >> a

equally troubling, we've seen american investors pour money into chinese companies that advance the drc's military capabilities. we've also seen american companies develop technologies that directly enable the censorship surveillance and social control efforts of china and other authoritarian regimes. these efforts may be good for business, but they directly support china's efforts to rewrite global norms of rules. and the very least we should make clear to both companies and academic institutions that complicity in china's repression efforts will jeopardize their ability to do business with or receive grants from the federal government. sixth, , we need to do a better job of protecting our research and development, especially the critical work that goes on at u.s. universities and research labs. universities should double down on security and compliance requirements, things like disclosing additional sources of income or affiliations with foreign military and intelligence organizations. that said, these security measures must be enforced in a transparent and fair way. the goal is to prot

him sitting down and basically saying that he was taking isis global other to countries such as the drc. such as sri lanka. that that was going to be his focus, as well as focusing on other parts of the middle east. i think his long-term strategy remains to be seen. i also think it's worth noting that we have yet to hear any official reaction from the isis propaganda machine which we know is vocal on his death. we have heard from some isis sympathizers on channels such as telegram, places they're known to frequent. and they are basically saying that even if he is confirmed dead, they'll continue on with the isis project just in the way that al qaeda continued on following the death of osama bin laden. >> what do you make of the president saying they've identified the next leaders of isis? >> i mean, that's entirely possible. analysts i've been speaking to in the region tell me that they would -- isis would have a succession plan in place given the fact that there was an intelligence leak within isis to the point where the united states was able to track him down into a tunnel provoking
