matt: i actually do. [laughter] matt: you can afford -- jayne: you have out-of-pocket cost. matt: i also have a health savings account, which is a really important component. we know there are challenges with affordability, but you have to look at the sort of complete puzzle which is high deductibles are a reflection of underlying health-care costs, and trying to minimize premiums, because what goes into premiums is the total cost of care, how much are people spending on it. if you have a low deductible, you are much more likely to have a high premium. if you have a high deductible, the premium is probably going to be much lower. it is trying to find that balance between premiums, cost-sharing and how much we can afford. right? if you are an employer, you are paying for health care for all your employees, you are going to think about, what is the balance that i can strike between helping my employees pay for their premiums versus having them responsible for costs? it is something that we absolutely need to look at. for example, health savings accounts have not been modernize

anna, matt. matt: thanks very much.ropean ambassadors gathered in brussels, the eu is hoping to kickstart trade conversations with the u.s.. the goal is to keep the threat of auto tariffs and bank. the talks are said to face delays with france resisting unless the u.s. backs the climate accord. so what could fail talks mean for the european auto industry? here to explain is bloomberg's dani burger. germany is the biggest victim appeared of tariffs with more than $40 billion of its gdp tied to u.s. exports. but the industry has a complex relative, and in terms, some european companies might take an even bigger hit. that is slovakia and hungary, amongst the top exporters to the u.s.. it might surprise some, but volkswagen and dimers -- daimler had factories within the country , selling 2 billion cars each to the u.s., translating as 1.7% of gdp. and should trade tariff talks break down, this would come at a time for the german economy, and really, the wider european economy. it is already slumping amidst a global slowdown

matt? matt: are there any concerns about inflation? isthe going to be a cut and then inflation starts to rear up unexpectedly, it would be difficult to fight, wouldn't it? valentin: indeed. a couple of things. one of the source of islation, higher oil price resulting in a higher headline print in the u.s. and eurozone is eroding the purchasing power of consumers and ultimately could be seen as negative for growth carried more so in the eurozone, less in the u.s. but we have the booming oil sector, shale oil sector which could contribute to growth down the road. as a result, i don't think any central bank, the fed or the ecb, will be willing to change its tone. they'll be looking for any spike in cost put inflation. if the push-up inflation is demand driven or by resilience of the domestic economy, the story may change that the fed may extend its pause longer and that would delay the cutting rates that could come in coming quarters. not necessarily arguing for a renewed drive to normalize policy or hike rates from here. anna: valentin m

for more i want to bring in matt. matt, tell us what we're learning here?o we're learning some of the team at amazon that's charged with reviewing a small number of alexia commands, some of the folks have access to location data paired with voice recordings. that means somebody at their job is asking you alexia to turn on a light or order you some product on amazon.com. in the same pane, some at amazon's workforce can trace you back to your home address. emily: so what is new here? did we not assume they could access this kind of information on us? matt: oh, for sure we assumed it. amazon, after all, is a company best known for delivering things to your doorstep. i think part of why this is raising some eyebrows is amazon does not go out of your way, and really any of their privacy materials, really to the alexa service to say exactly what it does with the data. in their statement to bloomberg after we revealed existence of the alexa listening program a few weeks ago they said there was no way for people at work in those work flows to find a human being beh

matt: thank you. todd: very well said. i would like to pick up on that because i am not muslim. i seek to be an ally. the audiences i tried to reach our my people. why is that? islamophobia doesn't emanate muslims, any more than anti-semitism comes from jews. the majority of the u.s. is responsible, but there is silence. we remember dr. king's words, if you are silent, you have taken a side. but is not a legitimate side to take. you can't take sides in islamophobia. that is a difficult thing to do in america now. 9, i thought about this question. why are things getting worse? by almost every metric islamophobia is getting worse. who do we talk to and who do we try to encourage to speak out? a friend of mine, a muslim activist and scholar, wrote about this, where she said christians, white christians included, need to speak with other regions. we need to be talking to each other about islamophobia great to talk to muslims. i love talking to muslims. they get it pretty quickly. >> [laughter] todd: but p

matt: right.s raised an enormous amount of money of the most you from chinese investors. the valuation last year with 75 -- evaluation of last year was 75 billion, which puts it in uber territory, or just ahead of uber as the most valuable startup in the world. carol: what is facebook saying? they have got to be watching. matt: it is safe to say that they probably have a room full of people watching this. during the cambridge analytics hearings, you may remember mark zuckerberg getting into an interesting exchange with a senator who was talking about zuckerberg's journey from the dorm room to becoming this , and he said,gul only in america, right? and mark said, well, there are some pretty impressive companies in china. obviously, he's talking about tencent and baidu. and last year, facebook created a knockoff service called lasso. it did not go anywhere, but shows they had interest. carol: tiktok tapped into tons using a.i. to manipulate that data, show the videos that you want, but all of this i

but, listen, let's bring matt back in because one way the white house, matt, is trying to rebrand the mueller report is by pushing an investigation into the mueller investigation. this is what elena plott of the atlantic is reporting. she is saying one former white house official told me that an investigation would allow trump campaign staffers to frame their message in much the same way they did in 2016, claiming that the system is rigged against them. everyone needs a boogeyman, and this gives them something to hang on to, the former official said. i don't know that everyone and their mother knows who robert mueller is, but if you told a trump supporter that democrats had used phony information to launch an investigation into their guy, it would absolutely fire them up. winning strategy, matt, for 2020? >> yeah, probably. i mean, look, talk about the moxie that this guy has. most people would be like, whew, you know, we dodged a bullet. we survived the mueller report. they didn't find anything. and then they would be like, let's calm things down now. >> is that moxie or just a total

matt, according to mueller's report, this could have been much worse.tion were often carried out through one-on-one meetings which the president sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. these actions ranged from efforts to remove the special counsel and to reverse the effects of the attorney general's recusal to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation, to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses, with the potential to influence their testimony. there's a running list of aides, frankly, who refuse to carry out trump's orders. from dan coates toey lewandows lewandowski, going to chris christie and k.t. mcfarland. she we take comfort in the fact that the president surrounded himself with people who weren't necessarily yes men and women? >> i suppose we should take a little comfort from it and that that averted a massive political crisis for the nation. a lot of people have misunderstood the section of the mueller report and have take ten to mean that the president wasn't successful in obstructing ju

matt: thank you.eff, your thoughts on the islamophobia industry. todd: >> my name is todd greene. i am south of the minnesota border. this is kind of my backyard. i am grateful to be here, thank you to all of the cosponsors for participating and sponsoring this event. this is wonderful and that is wonderful to see the amount of people who are here today. i am a religious historian. usually when i say that, people start to fall asleep. [laughter] todd: it is the angle i take. it is my primary area of research. one of my things is islamophobia is not something that is new, or certainly prejudice against muslims, hostility, discrimination -- it is not even post-9/11. there is a longer history to this. i will argue throughout the day that there are a lot of tropes, stereotypes employed against muslims that have been employed against other religious minorities and racial minorities including jews, catholics, and mormons. it is important to understand that this is a rebranding of an old prejudice against ot
