jeffrey, welcome. i want to open this up i ask you why you wrote the book and why you think this is the subject of crucial importance. >> thank you david. you know i've written several hooks and they are all about the global economy and the political dimension of the global economy but they had dwelt very much on trends and i wanted to try something else. i wanted to identify a single event really focus in on it and focus in on great detail so that you knew the people and you knew what was in their head and you knew what was influencing them in terms of the global environment and their background and you could really feel the decision but in doing that you really got also a larger picture. i was looking around for what event wet landmark event could i write about one that most people really didn't know a lot about which brought to bear domestic economic policy, international economic policy and foreign policy. this sent event i wrote about camp david was the weekend on which president nixon visited his

as jeffrey said, crypto is efficient, therefore it's been adopted. but ransomware is not exclusive to crypto currency, but all of this creates a narrative around crypto that makes it look like it's bad unless the good guys, the government is the one running it. and one of those rare cases where the government early says, are there one of the good guys know, jeffrey, how do you see that working out? you know, when we're talking about this crap, now we've got about a minute left here, but do you see it having any actual impact when it comes to these exchanges? you know, i can believe anything these days. i've seen terrible things last year. you know, i mean, i've seen the feds rating safety deposit boxes stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of personal property. you know, so what worries me is that the feds are not and by the fed, i mean the, the pads and also the fed are not just looking at regulating crypto but really, really cracking down. and that the sanction of the select, the changes might be designed to create a precedent for going back, yo

and jeffrey tucker, president of the brownstone institute. glad to have both of you wanted to talk about this, but i want to start with you. there were some hiccups on the 1st day of this rollout, correct? yeah, the biggest pick up people in ourselves saw was so many people were trying to download the chiva wallet. that's where they call it their chief wallet. that apparently had to be unplugged for time today, the president was reading about it for a while, salvador tweeting about it today saying that essentially he blamed the app store is apple and google saying that they were not helping with this problem. there were too many people kind of overloaded the system, so we had to be unplugged for a while and then plug back in over although they are counting the lot of success with this kind of 1st in launch. in fact, we saw the price of big coin going up quite a bit today. got all the way up to about $2.00 to $2000.00 since then. it's come down to about $46000.00, but the president. salvatore also said, hey, it's a result of doing maybe some t

jeffrey, this is big news. the january 6th select committee targeting four of trump's top aides, going straight to subpoenas. what does that tell you about the investigation? >> well, it tells you that what they're looking at is what donald trump knew and when he knew it and what complicity he had in this riot. what it also tells you is that the democrats shouldn't get their hopes up that these four are going to testify because one of the things the trump administration taught the democrats in congress is they can defy congress more or less with impunity because they can tie up these subpoenas in court for months, and this committee does not have months. so even though these four, i think, have no real legal basis to refuse to testify, i would be very surprised if they actually did wind up testifying. >> yeah. so, laura, the committee wants documents, let's see, by the first week in october, and patel, bannon, scavino, and meadows appearing on october 14th and 15th. committee member adam schiff just told chris

jeffrey said, but he ended up with an untruth statement. i think he said the central bankers can do anything about it. i think over about to see central bankers trying to do something about it. the 1st thing is a lot of smear campaign about the president of el salvador, essentially saying he is a socialist, really was adopting big coin that doesn't make a whole lot of sense 1st of all, but that he's ultimately, he's getting rid of judges. he's getting rid of the supreme court, he changing the countries constitution so he can run for office again. but the, the comparisons that job as i think are few and far between in reality and yet that's the sure that's being painted. why? why is it a picture being painted? i believe it's being done so because eventually what the central bankers are going to want is a military coup in el salvador to unseat the president and remove him from power by setting up as a dictator and a tablet terry. and that is the idea here of salvatore is a, has been for many, many years, a crime ridden country, a country that

. >> with me is jeffrey toobin. let's start where diane left off, which is there isn't criminal liability associated with this. this law allows strangers even to sue in civil court anyone who helps a woman get an abortion. how do you enforce this? >> i don't think anyone knows how it will work. we do know why the law was structured that way. the reason is that other states have imposed restrictions on abortion. they have done it by the state. the state has said you, abortion clinic, cannot perform an abortion at such and such a time. the state will punish you, shut your you down, fine you if you do. that means the abortion clinics can go to court against the state and get a judgment that says you can't do that to the abortion clinic, state of mississippi or state of alabama. that's how the court challenges have worked. this law has created a legal problem for the abortion clinics. who do they sue? how do they try to stop this law because there is no identifiable enforcer. >> so it's entirely designed to get around t

>> you agree with that, jeffrey?people don't realize the number of justices is not set in the constitution, it's set by statute. there's a law that congress tomorrow could change the number of justices on the court. franklin roosevelt tried to do it when the new deal was being thwarted in the supreme court. he lost that effort. and i think historically he's been judged harshly for that effort. i think the most important thing to note about the idea of increasing the number of justices is there is no way there is enough political support in the congress for this now. so it's really sort of a moot question. it is indicative of the frustration democrats feel with this now lopsided conservative majority on the supreme court, but the real issue is justice breyer going to step down, not whether they're going to increase the number of justices. one is a realistic question, the other is highly theoretical at this point. >> what did you make, jeff, of him dancing around retiring, this possibility of retiring? >> it's interest

jeffrey: i think you hit the nail on the head. the markets love this period of time where earnings growth is good. our gdp is higher than in 2019 and yet, we still have six or 7 million jobs still unfilled. it is an amazing time to be an investor in risk assets and you are getting this slow down. the fed is perhaps going to tap on the brakes. i do not look at this as a tightening move by the fed, but you might be in that perfect market where you are getting a lot of agility in economic variables, but the market itself is looking through that. if you averaged the last three jobs reports, it is still 750 per month. those are decent numbers, but the volatility is causing concern. again, markets might see that as a blessing. kailey: is the case for buying equities still predicated on bond yields in this lower range around 130-135? jeffrey: i don't know if they have to stay that low. as a student of history, the variable we have to pay attention to is inflation. inflation has the ability all by itself to ruin a lot of the asset prices

now jeffrey, it's not uncommon for countries to store the gold off shore, especially with the u. s. federal reserve, which has the largest reserves in the world, but with the safety comes conditions. so what does that mean for afghanistan, if they aren't given access to their own assets that are stored in the united states, looks very much success, really. and as this, the u. s. doesn't have a bad enough reputation. that part of the world is, i mean that's going to turn every everybody afghanistan further against against us and cause the taliban to reach out more profoundly and with greater economic size to russia and china. it's a matter of us once again, surely of self and the foot on the foreign policy decision. and it's really absolutely mr. fine. and it would just be nice if we can establish some kind of normal relationship. i think that was the thinking and pulling the troops out of afghanistan with the taliban that we develop and normally can, i was relationships are normal trading relationships and normal political action. but, but when you have going on to sanctions, is, is

the pressure he was putting on jeffrey rosen. it was real. very real.-- it was very specific. >> reporter: trump tried to pressure rosen to file a lawsuit in the supreme court to declare that the electoral college votes cast cannot be counted. his chief of staff was repeatedly e-mailing top-doj officials at least five times. asking they investigate conspiracy theories about voter fraud. >> it's an attempt to use the department of justice in order to influence the election that's run at the state and local levels. so it -- it's dangerous. it's inappropriate and it should be unacceptable. >> reporter: and trump had been secretly working with someone inside the department of justice. an official from the environmental division named jeffrey clark who was pushing allegations of voter fraud despite all the evidence against it. clark urged his bosses to sign a letter to georgia's governor containing a lie. it falsely claimed the justice department identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election. and advised the governor to c

joining us to talk about all this is cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. why do you think the supreme court hasn't enacted on this yet? >> this is a peculiar situation designed to create legal complications. because of the law berman just mentioned, it is not the state of texas that enforces the law the way it works in most states. the way it works in every state. it's the system of private enforcement, private attorneys general it's called and what this difficulty it's created is that it's unclear who the abortion provider should sue. usually you just sue the state government and the court issues an injunction on state government don't enforce the law. with no single enforcer of the law, there is this procedural problem that abortion providers have that it is unclear who they're supposed to sue. that's what's creating this legal tangle separate from the issue about the abortion law but the effect is that this law is now in effect and roe v. wade essentially does not exist in the state of texas and probably more in states to come. >> there is so much about

i want to bring in cnn's joan and jeffrey toobin. can you tell us about what the decision was that the supreme court has made here and remind our viewers about this texas state law and why people were so concerned about it? >> sure. good morning, kaitlan. i cannot overstate the magnitude of what happened last night by a 5-4 vote for women in texas, for constitutional rights nationwide and for the justices themselves and their relations with each other in a very bitterly divided set of opinions the justices let -- explained why they had not intervened the night before when this texas ban on abortions went into place. and as you say, remind our viewers that it's essentially a six-week ban on abortions. most women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks. and the law in texas had an unusual enforcement mechanism in which state officials aren't the ones who are going to ensure this ban but rather private citizens have socially been deputized to report and bring a case against anyone who assists, aids and abets a woman with -- who is
