michael: no, quite the opposite, in fact.you listen to the voice of daniel domscheit-berg? just listen to chelsea manning. nancy: i don't think chelsea waplayed at all. i think e did wh she did. julian and wikileaks did what they did. they connected. and i've looked at those transcripts, and i think she was looking for an outlet for this informaon. she found it. i didn't see anything in those transcripts where anyone was tempting her. she had the information. she released it. michael: manni was arrested just eight weeks after the video was released. she was discovered after she confessed online to another hacker that she was the wikileaks source. daniel: for many years, this was the lurking monster in the room, you know, in the closet somewhere, where we were so afraid that, one day, one of our sources would be arrested, that we would make a mistake or so, but this was the total catastrophe. nancy: she was detained. she was taken to kuwait, and then they sent her to quantico, which was even worse. it's closed now, but it was

michael: why did it take so long? a lack of understanding by many, many people of what space is all about and the opportunities that it can present. so i think it took a little bit of time for people to understand the significance of space, the space industry, the space sector, to australia. there's opportunities for us to grow our businesses, there's opportunities for us to create jobs here, and there's opportunities in space for our everyday lives to become that much easier, that more--that much more simpler. so yes, there are some opportunities for us, and we should grasp them with both hands. malcolm: the australian space agency was really important and a very positive step because what it does, it gives us a policy organization within government whose job it is to help grow the australian commercial space sector. ♪♪♪ michael: right now, the space world is a very exciting field to be in, full of boffins who have spent years working toward the moment we're now living. brad tucker, an astrophysicist at the anu's mou

host: michael, what is your alma mater? michael: auburn university. host: what is the answer to the question? michael: i knew you would. host: michael harriet, you describe yourself, and i might be mispronouncing this, as a white- people-oligist. michael: it is a whimsical term based on the idea that we try to address racism and dissemination in this country a lot by investigating and studying and interrogating black culture and i believe that you cannot solve that problem or interrogate white supremacy in this country by studying black people because we did not create racism, we do not perpetuate it. to solve the problem, you have to study white people and that is why i created the term. host: before we begin taking calls, we want to put some public policies out there. christina greer, when you woke up this morning, what public policy issue was on your mind? christina: i am deeply concerned about the roll back of roe v. wade and i was reading about indiana essentially saying that there is almost a full abortion ban in that state. i am fearful that ot

i want to go to you, michael. you think about president biden using semi fascism -- that is a big deal. what is his thinking, and what is the white house strategy? michael: the white house has a two-pronged strategy for the next several months. one is to really spend a lot of time touting their accomplishments. if you think back to march and april of this year, it was really doom and gloom for democrats. they felt like they had to accomplish much of the president's agenda. there was this flurry of activity this summer. the student loans that were just mentioned, the legislation to do climate change, drug prices, gas prices down, things kind of looking up a little bit, so one half of the strategy is touching all that progress. the other half is really attacking republicans, drawing that contrast and saying to voters, look, you have a choice. it is not just a referendum on joe biden and what you might think of the democratic rule in washington. it is if you don't want this, look at what is out there. this phrase ult

michael: certainly.nings bowl because they are continuing to demonstrate that they are pretty strong when you look at high nominal gdp that we are looking at right now been vindicated, and there is a lot of margin pressures. at the overall s&p 500 index level, you are not seeing too much major margin destruction and part of that is due to the fact that energy companies are putting through margins, and the big tech margins are hanging in there at healthy levels. i think that is part of it. and i think a lot of people have already, you know, discuss this, it is a calibration of multiples that has been processed, so we are waiting for this big drop. the equity bears are waiting to see a drop in economic activity and the jury is still out on whether we are getting that. i think that debate in a way keeps the volatility elevated for a while, for every good economic print is going to be looked at with some concern, and some of the negative economic news we get is going to be like, well, maybe that is ok. it is

michael: we are still pretty optimistic.e optimistic that there will not be a meaningful recession. credit looks ok. -- has made valuations a little more pricey. simply given the lack of the lack of big-time recession risks priced into the market. we will keep pressure on credit markets, like we have seen today and equity markets suffering on rising rate expectations. that will hold back credit markets as well. we've been thinking about implementing more quality traits to get away from too much pure recessions. even though we don't think it will happen, there is not enough risk premium to take it vantage of that view right now. kailey: on that note, we will leave it. michael kushma, thank you so much for joining us. coming up, we will turn from bonds to commodities. the average price for a gallon of gas in the u.s. has stayed below four dollars for another week. where does it go next? patrick de haan will join us to answer that question. this is bloomberg. ♪ >> this is ritika gupta. diane swonk joining, coming up. this is bl
