he wanted, he invented the modern nationstate where every single space would be equally governed. the law would apply everywhere, and he also made an overlapping notion of the united states as a territory and as an economy. so the way to get people to join that political entity was to bind them together economically. but the people of the southern mountains were a problem turkey did not like those people out there. they use money on their terms when they had it come when they didn't. they made whiskey and sold it down the highway and got the money and bought what they wanted and produce all the other crops for subsistence. and he said, he believed that in time they would evolve. they would follow along this theory of stages, , so popular among the atlantic elite which is ultimately a would get there. by the 1790s they had not gotten there yet, and he had a different idea. hamilton proposed and enforced a whiskey tax in large part to coerce the people of the mountains to get money and use money. they said we don't have money to pay the tax. he said if the tax must be paid in money,

is necessary and proper to effectuate the constitutional compact that was entered into between nationstates. one of the other ones that people do not talk about as much is marshall's conception of the relative roles of the court in congress. judgments about policy, about what is necessary, our judgments left to congress. this is part of the formulation that is central to the case. that deference to congressional judgments about what is good policy is a very significant factor. the other thing that enters in here is that marshall's willingness to sustain the bank of the united states at a point in time when it was a load institution -- loathed institution. the panic of 1819, 3 million out of 9 million people in german -- in dire economic straits. put the bank on square fitting at precisely the moment they did, and part of what makes cases landmark cases is not just the rules they articulate, but the circumstances within which they are decided. >> let's spend more time. what else should people know about the country? 1812, thethe war of war created inflation as wars tend to do. that inflation

to have the constitutional intoct that was entered nationstates. one of the other was people marshall'sabout is inception of the role of congress. judgment about policy, about what is necessary are judgments that are going to be left to congress. this is what is central to the case. what it all means and what is plainly adapted. that deference to congressional judgment about what is policy is a very significant factor. enters inthing that here, parcels willingness to stay in the bank of united a load when it was institution. the panic of 1819. this put people and economic straits. it was active judicial courage to put the bank on square footage at precisely the moment they did. what they can do in these landmark cases the duchess articulate but the circumstances were decided. >> america in 1819, what else should people now. >> during the war of 1812, the war created inflation. exacerbatedon was by new banks opening. the way things work back then. there was a certain amount of silver or gold currency. these notes.sue they would say take the paper mo

have started to move toward a policy of showing that when it comes to cyber activity including by nationstates along with organized criminal groups and other nonstate actors you can , figure out who did it. so doing the attribution of putting the resources into do the attribution. and really for a while and government i had started on the criminal side of the house doing the computer hacking cases and that was kept separate from what was going on on the intelligence side. when i went over to work for director mueller, the door opened and i saw what we had on the intelligence side of the house. it was much better than the public or our adversary nations knew. we started changing toward the strategy it is great that we know it but it is causing real harm to real people now and it is not a traditional intelligence collection issue. starting first in espionage with the indictment of the five people of the liberation army and moving on to calling out publicly north korea's behavior when they attacked sony motion pictures because they did not like the content of a movie to charges that were brought

alexander: i think it is a pioneer and an attempt to pull sovereignty on a level which nationstates haveever done before, which to come back to the david davis question, i have never seen the european union as united as it is now. guy: is trump making it easier for them to come together? alexander: one is trump and the other is brexit. a lot of people understood at that stage, leaders and general public as well, this is going to far. ,he negotiating position someone like david davis is doing a good job but it is difficult the cause when you enter the club with its rules, you exit the club with its rules. a lot of the 27 member states want to make sure the u.k. is not better off outside than inside. i think the luxembourg prime minister put it well. right now, the u.k. is in the e.u. with a whole bunch of hawk outs and later it wants to be and later itt outs wants to be outside with a lot of opt ins. alexander stubbs and martin lueck are staying with us on bloomberg "surveillance." first, the first word news. special counsel robert mueller investigated jeff sessions last year for misleadi

there is g hottie mess all of the world but not primarily driven by particular set of nationstate actors. when you look at the chinese tragedy and the russian strategy and the iranian strategy ask yourself this question do our neighbors like them or not and why and why do china's neighbors and russia's neighbors and iran's neighbors not like him? this may seem too poetic and too dramatic but because those nations don't believe in souls. we actually believe in universal human dignity. the american idea is premised on a certain set of assumptions about dignity and we believe particularly for the 320 million people that we are called in this room to serve but is an answer follicle matter we believe it for seven and a billion people across the state of the globe we believe they are created with inherent dignity and that god gives them rights by nature. government exists to secure our rights and government is of the author or source of our rights. nobody in toronto or in moscow or beijing thanks about their economic and military ambitions by talking first about the dignity of their neighbors.

how do we bring this capability in place to convince actors out there in the nationstates, criminal nonstate actors you don't want to engage in this behavior otherwise you're not going to succeed or if you do come at a price that you pay will far exceed any benefit they get. >> thank you mr. chairman. i want to follow up on both senators reid and nelson's questions and then on the action of the administration i just want to be clear as i understand you said the president trump has never ordered the cyber com to take any action to defend or thwart attempts to the elections this fall is that correct? >> i said i'd never been given any specific direction to take additional steps outside my authority. i've taken the steps within my authority to be a good effective commander. >> someone in the administration has asked you to take any additional steps. >> i've been granted any additional authorities, capacity capabilities and that is certainly true. >> i understand that to be a confirmation of what i just said. >> i apologize. >> it's come to my attention the department of defense contracts with i

geographic boundaries of countries, our interpretation of the sovereignty we assigned to a particular nationstatethe capabilities we have in the for example, i-- had a conversation once think doing something for country x to countrywide. between those two countries was another country. in the course of this "ifersation, someone said you do that, you're going to violate their sovereignty." i very calmly said "ok, but here's how the internet works. routers, you've got the sky in san jose on a router. you get packets of information everywhere. that's based on an algorithm. who is making a decision about that? policy, diplomacy. so if that's the case, is it e packet or two packets that dominates someone's sovereignty. i think it's gone so quickly we're thinking in terms of rather traditional conventional ways about that. i look at one example tactically which is the special operations world, so special operations command, as you all know is created after the mess at desert one and they've been thinking about it for a while and opposed by -- nobody wanted to do it or stand up a separate command. but t
