businesses and regulations. that said some have been described as more favorable to cryptocurrency they have money laundering of how they should be treated and what those industries need it's not that they try to shirk regulations are to encourage the adoption of cryptocurrency. >> not so much they try to have the wild last but that they are providing clarity maybe you could address that. >> as we look at the ongoing expansion it is clear to us the us regulations of what we do here and outside the us and so looking at those different jurisdictions the only thing we are focused on as a firm we want there to be an actual high bar from the regulatory perspective to be a significant serious firms and those critically the custody risk of the protection of these assets with appropriate insurance, but also a clear definition and this gets to what was said as well that very clear definitions about what constitutes a token or digital asset to provide that clarity to businesses who want to operate where other jurisdictions

customers due to regulators and they're now joining the a bit next. and the next all of the top exchanges who now refuse to do business with us due to unreasonable and outdated regulations and restrictions regarding crypto currency so what are we supposed to do now and where are we supposed to go this is tremendously unfair not to mention that the u.s. now risk falling behind as it fails to embrace and adopt crypto. absolutely in many countries will likely follow the stance the united states but you're also seeing a divergence many countries such as. singapore switzerland and even portugal have made positive strides on their trip to regulation most recently portugal's tax authority and now it's no tax on krypto earnings. on falling behind in regards to the exchanges you've seen existing exchanges and new and upcoming exchanges such as after taxes derivatives exchange or big dotcoms exchange which is launching with negative trading fees choosing to skirt or leave the u.s. or not enter the u.s. and so this is deafening a problem where many companies are

rules and regulations for exchange trade? >> yes. >> are there any new financial products that have been invented that we have never seen before? we talk about financial rocks that already exist and we are now on block chain? >> yes. these are not new. new, but they is essence of the product is something we have seen before. >> so if there are not really new products, why would we need new rules and regulations? it is important to have clarity. it is very important for people to understand what it is. we don't have to reinvent the wheel on any of this. we have clarity in each of the jurisdictions to the ascent that digital assets hit the currency model or the security model, we have already debated those models and we can enforce those rules. >> are you concerned that tech companies seemingly pretty strongly resist rules and regulations? i think there is a lot of's problems some of the we as a society face are solved by tech. i think sometimes that is nine somea tape on the parts of on what tech can accomplish and what is bett

you mentioned this, of regulation and laws. as we talk about areas of expertise and the substantive new areas, we will get lessons on how they grapple with these topics. i think i will start in this order. it is easier for me to remember. kristin, i don't understand how you can even, you started off where lyft was a rideshare company. we had an apt and could get somebody to pick us up. you are thinking about the future of mobility in a broad sense. as i was preparing questions i was like, what crazy questions come across your desk and how do you think about them? someone will come into your office and say, can we start having rideshare with flying cars? you gave me a story about sweepstakes question, which was off the wall. if you could give us insight into the fun questions that come your way. being in a very public facing and consumer facing brand , the marketing team is a big component of the work that my team does. generates a lot of questions for us. side,d of on the more fun one of the things i shared with heather was the

and well—kept it is. they are very highly regulated, i've just been talking to them. s... ..one of the mps in the group which do you tend to use? i've done this one. the difference between what norman is buying here and the cbd oils you can buy in shops in the uk... well, this oil contains thc — as someone who was central the first party to back legalisation, he wants to know how it will affect him. thank you very much. so, norman, talk us through what you purchased. so, erm... this is a small amount and... ..having never used this before — knowingly — i mentioned there was possibly one accidental occasion. i want to be very careful. i'm very cautious. and i'm, sort of, quite hostile about drugs generally. i mean, that's where i come from as a parent. but i want this purely for sleeping, arm, for relaxation. so... ..i've been told to take half the normal dose to start with, which i will take 45 minutes before going to bed tonight and for the flight home. but i can't take this back home because it's illegal in england. the trip‘s been organised by a london—based campaig

you never will and normally that digital space how it is designed and regulated will be a constant battle or a war how speech and data are governed and where it's not possible to have that debate and that's where you are in trouble. so how do we ensure that is the possibility to identify to adjust in those spaces. >> it's very important to recognize that you just have to be making trade-offs that if i go back to law school is not even a hypothetical if you draw a line in the cases on either side of they don't make that w sense you have to have a line because there will always be aou trade-off but if you're up regulate something and says it is fake news then this is like when the us allowed torture. we allowed torture in a limited way but of course that license governments around the world to do far worse than what we were doing i remember human rights activists to say peoples are looking to you if you can do this then we can do this and then in that protecting environment than that looks like censorship and then british libel laws you cannot say what is not true in the us you can you just

we second amendment, again, agree on this, preserves some space for regulation. andt is a question of politics how we want to feel or not fill that space. and there have recently been strong pushes for certain gun regulations in certain parts of the country, the parkland movement is a good example of this. young people say prevention of gun violence is a top parity for them. my argument is that the second amendment properly interpreted and as interpreted so far, allows us to make those choices. thank you very much. [applause] [applause] thank you erin and joseph. i've questions for you. follow-up. as lawyers, we are very familiar with different burdens of proof. doubt. to reasonable we look to more probable than not. and we know as lawyers that depending on the burden of proof , a case may be harder or easier. mr. garvey: do we agree? i have read your brace and the new york case that we've been discussing. an air and i understand that you --agree with the two-part erin i understand you disagree with the two-part test. is that correct? ms. murphy: -- it is probably mo

and erin. said that right, like all constitutional rights are subject to regulation. erin is absolutely right, and i anee that that is unremarkable proposition. that for the other rights you have free speech, free religion and so forth. it is worth emphasizing though because too often in the gun debate you see people saying i oppose gun control before because i support the second amendment, or vice versa. that is a false dichotomy. rights and regulation can coexist and have coexisted since the beginning of the founding of this country and even before. and justice scalia's majority opinion emphasizes that. you have already heard this language a few times but it is worth reflecting on in the majority up and he says, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast down long-standing prohibitions on possession by felons and the mentally ill, or the carrying of weapons and sensitive places, like schools and government buildings. restrictions on the commercial sale of arms. i would add to that list elsewhere in the opinion he points to bans on dangerous or weapon bans and , c

and say here's what we want to do to regulate the stock exchange and stock broker-dealers and me will give you the same agency. the new york stock exchange was much more powerful it is the single but very socially politically with the liberals of the ftc to regulate the whole new york stock exchange. and those to give jurisdiction to the ftc and margin authorities to have standards to go crazy. so now he steps in and proposes a new agency of the ftc to give it authority to deal with margin. glass does this because he does not like a large agency doing many things. he wants a specialized security agency rather than one that does 20 other things doesn't want the fed to have anything to do with the stock market or the margin. so the sec to regulate the stock exchange brokers and they violently oppose it and it's a showdown in the senate banking committee. this is 1934 the height of roosevelt and new deal powers it's a beat ten / eight they vote to create a new agency , the sec then the margin goes to the fed and then the beats roosevelt the height of the new deal. and now the federal res

you have to adjust to new threats, to new problems, and to be vigilant about regulation and enforcement. >> to the west of cleveland is toledo. tim, you are on the air. good morning. caller: hi, i just wanted to say that i was born and raised along the shores of the wami river. i can remember as a kid the foam, when the water would wash -- used to fish with my dad. it was foamy along the river. as a kid, you don't go that's not normal. it was disgusting now thinking back. now, that was in the 1970's. walking along the garbage, all we , and now the river -- have small mouth bass that was in there. it was always carp, sometimes game fish like the walleye. but now it's cleaned up a lot. now all of a sudden we seem to be getting back to where we don't care about protecting our environment. it's like we won that battle and we do the same thing all over again with the oceans and all that. sooner or later, we got to wake up and realize you can't keep polluting where you live at. it's just logic. it's basic sense. if you say something, you are a tree hugger, all these crazy things being said. c

and of course. cannot clamp down we all know they're trying their best to regulate it but everyone just completely failed to do that so let's think france's finance minister has recently brought up this issue and talked about sovereignty what does he actually mean by that and again is that just well fanciful in the idea of protector and sees as you've just described them. leg in a they issue of labor as it's just it's been pumped so much and it got so much attention because all the central bank is the no one particular element that we were and that we we we want able to regulate or control bitcoin and we don't want the same thing happen for a labor which is correct of currency by the biggest social network and there that they that they already know that they're find it incredibly difficult to find the regulations which can really surround this social media now because they know big corn has become a major success and it of course is a major threat to central bank is the way that they regulate monetary policy or that is the way that they regulate other aspects of the political system so they don't want an

because we can't fix the system that is based on laws and regulations without reforming those laws andulations. host: for the senate bill, what has leader mcconnell said specifically about his interest in passing it? guest: he hasn't said anything yet. the president supports this bill. it did pass out of committee on a bipartisan vote. and we are going to be in the coming weeks pressing, by reaching out to people around the country and encouraging them to speak to their senators, and to leader mcconnell, to see if we can't get a vote on a bill that will cap price increases at the rate of inflation in medicare, and lower out-of-pocket costs dramatically in medicare much host: you believe if it's as ifed, the president would sign such legislation? guest: it has to get through the house too. the house is likely to pass a strong bill. the question is, if the senate passes a good bill and the house passes an even better bill, how do those two things get reconciled? that is not clear yet. by the way, that would be a good problem to have. host: virginia is next. from bloomington, illinois. hi

to give the public, yet the private sector operative in the market and there's regulation what services are prohibited, what things can be allowed. and in other places we have things like public utilities where you have control prices, controlled access, and you have monopolies effectively in some cases you have those but their outsourced and heavily regulated. there's a wide spectrum of different ways we provide as a society goods that are important to people, and i think what we're trying to do in the book is take this one tool, the public option, and explore how it applies and a bunch of different context and how it could apply and our suggestion is it's quite overlooked in a lot of places. does that mean it's a solution to everything? no, , and we don't suggest it i. but we think think the solutioa lot more than is already out there. to your point on why not just use the kind of private system and isn't totally discredited, i don't think so. in a lot of areas what we've seen in the last decade or so is reconsideration of a lot of the things that were thought of as deci

fema with a slow moving bureaucracy and a good heart and they want to help they are tied down by regulation and structures and rules and slow to act. they are not proactive so when a hurricane or a disaster happens they are the last to come in those volunteer groups coming in immediately and the problem with fema they want to stop them from coming in with rules and regulations so under the trump administration and to encourage those searches to be involved my wife went down to houston and was just nowhere to got houses and its independent groups that is the backbone of america. when they wrote in democracy in the 18 thirties that was a major thing. he was around from his experience, he never saw anything like it. he saw the date - - the deep state and they relied upon the government to provide resources and services it was people helping people and they did a better job they know the situation. >>host: the wealth of the washington area? >> if you look at the bloated salaries of the democracy it's a sweetheart deal between the incomes of a couple hundred thousand per year and as a business owner

the primary obstacle to further gun regulation is political. the second amendment, and we agree on this, the second amendment preserves some space for regulation. it is a question of politics of how we want to feel or not feel that space. there have been strong pushes for certain gun regulations in certain parts of the country. the post parkland movement is a good example. young people say prevention of gun violence is a top priority. my argument is that the second amendment properly interpreted and has interpreted so far and allows us to make those choices. thank you, very much. [applause] john: thank you erin, and thank you joseph. i have some questions for you in follow-up. as lawyers we are very familiar with different burdens of proof. we look to reasonable doubt. we look to more probable than not. and we know as lawyers, depending on the burden of proof, our case may be harder or easier. do we agree? joseph: we do. john: i have read your briefs in the new york case we have been discussing. and i understand that you disagree with the two-part test, is that correct?

we need to do better and it's , we're going to stand up in court and try to argue that these regulations are contrary to the will of congress and should be overturned. >> i still think there's a difference between renovating to achieve the goal of protecting species and doing it. and increasingly government regulation isn't the chief driver of recovery efforts in environment improvement by defenders of wildlife, nature conservancy private landowners out there every day when things and restore habitat and that that's what our focus should be on, not government rules and regulations . >> our guests have been jonathan wood, pacific legal foundation and jason rylander is a seniorendangered species counsel at the defenders of wildlife organization, thanks for your time and information . >> thank you for having me. >> weeknights we are featuring book tv programs showcasing what's available again on cspan2 and tonight.

they do have a political and image problem at home about appearing to be regulating hings. some of the investigators i is something where china's domestic ambitions in terms of securing public safety and its role in being the global supply chain is a i would encourage the ommission to say this is omething we can be much more definitive about in terms of hat we want. >> so many things, i'll just note gibson earlier talked bout new railroads, hear about hen the chinese are the only producers of something, i have two questions. you talked about the chinese industry relying on u.s. innovation. i was wondering what you are specifically meaning and is the chinese industry monetizing the rnd being done here in the u.s. on innovation? either by buying it for stealing it or sending graduate students over who are replicating labs. also, the issue of hiring leaders. how are they trying to get access to our innovation? if this industries follows patterns, we will be displaced even in our innovation. >> for now, i think the u.s. is the leader on the high-tech pharmaceutical industry. tha

what a impact it hasn't had and what companies are going above and beyond regulation and what companies are doing minimum compliance as they interpret it as compliance and not getting very good scores you know, and so it's fort so the a tool to really understand kind of how what companies are doing and how they compare is also a framework around which had to have debate. because it is a living thing we keep updating the standards that we're using to evaluate companies about what that practice should look like so we're adding indicators related to target advertising from relating artificial intelligence that we didn't have before. >> that practice, though. >> so it's -- it's a lot of consultation and a research you know so that indicators we have right now you know they're based on human rights standards but we have to build a lot of detail into it and detail was built through talking to a lot of people in the human rights community to talking to companies to talking to technologist and working out okay what represents kind of a general rough consensus about what good shou

you have to adjust to new threats, to new problems, and to be vigilant about regulation and enforcement. >> the west of cleveland is toledo, and tim, you're on the air. good morning. >> caller: hi. i wanted to say that yeah, i grew up -- i was born and raised along the shores of a big river that flows into lake erie. i can remember as a kid the foam. always when the water would wash off, i used to fish with my dad. it was foamy and dead fish along the river. as a kid you don't know that's not normal, but it was disgusting now thinking back. now, that was in the 70s. i remember that commercial, the indian, you know, when he walked along the garbage and all that. and now, though, the river is better. we have small mouth bass in there that was never in there before. it was always carp and sheep head and sometimes game fish, but now it's cleaned up a lot. now we seem to be getting back to where we don't care about protecting our environment. it's like we won that battle, and we're doing the same thing all over again. the ocean is not -- sooner or later we have to realize you can't keep poll

and of course. cannot clamp down we all know they're trying their best to regulate it but everyone just completely failed to do that so let's think france's finance minister has recently brought up this issue and talked about sovereignty what does he actually mean by that and again is that just well fanciful in the idea of protector and sees as you've just described them. leg in at the issue of labor as it is just it's been ponselle march and it got so much attention because all the central bank is the no one particular element that we were that we we we want able to regulate or control bitcoin and we don't want the same thing happen for a labor which is a current of currency by the biggest social network and they've been they've been they already know that they're find it incredibly difficult to find of regulations which can really surround this social media now because they know big corn has become a major success and it of course is a major threat to central bank is the way that they regulate monetary policy or that is the way that they regulate other aspects of their political system so they don't wa

so we went all over the world and found many interesting regulations and ideas that do work. ferent because it already has many guns true, but so do switzerland and australia. the latter has a gun culture very similar to america's and yet as we saw in the aftermath of its own newtown-like massacre, australia changed its gun laws. the results, homicides and suicides plummeted in the decade that followed. of course like all real world problems, the link between guns and violence is a complicated issue, but one rare live sees so much evidence pointing in the same direction. what we did not find was a large-scale, nationwide example where an expanded attention to mental health issues could be tied to a reduction in homicides or suicides using guns, and yet every time there is a serious gun massacre in the u.s., and alas these are fairly common, the media focuses on the twisted psychology of the shooter and asks why we don't pay more attention to treating mental illness. the attention we should be focusing on is not the specific cause of of a single shooting but why there are so ma

and to be sand ridge lantd about regulation and enforcement. >> to the west of cleveland is toledo tim the air. w >> yeah i kyu up, born and raised along the source of the u wamy river. my da flowing into lake erie. i can remember as a kid, the foams, when the water washed out -- i used to fish with my as dead. it was foamy and dead fish on theno river. as a kid you don't know that's not normal. but it was disgusting thinking back. that was in the '70gs. i remember the commercial with the indian where he walk along the garbage and all that, tear on his cheek all that.have now the -- the river and all that is a lot better. we got small mouth bass in there that was never in there before. always karp and sea pad and sometimes the game fish like the wahl eye run but now it's p cleaned up a lot. lately now all of a sudden we seem to be getting back to do t we don't care about protecting the environment.that. because like we won the battle e and we doing the same thing al over again with the oceans and all that.it's sooner or later we got to wake up and realize you can't keep polluting where

the regulations and ordinance that came from that phase were passed and implemented and done. with the second phase there's still one component that is ongoing which is the ordinance which the commission approved in may and which is pending at the board. the update for you is that we did not get that ordinance called at a committee hearing before the board went on its august recess. we were really hoping that we would because the goal is to have that ordinance be in effect for the 2020 elections. given the nature of the process with multiple readings hearing at committee and the full board and having to go to the mayor's office and a 30-day lag time between being approved and operative and the implementation efforts need to happen on our end, there is some time that needs to be set aside. so we're really trying to get this thing moving and approved so we can do everything we need to do to have 2020 be under the new regime. th that being said we're looking at getting the hearing as soon as possible. supervisor mar is the chair of the committee that this ordinance is in control

they're blaming right wing president jar both and narrow they say he has loosened environmental regulations and encouraged loggers and farmers to clear the land accelerating deforestation. both n.r.o. has struck back claiming that n.g.o.s might be starting the fires themselves to make him look bad he was pressed once again today and again he cited no evidence. do you want me to blame we indigenous martians there are strong suspicions it's because the ngos lost their funding and you were going to be up there by the. strong suspicions based on what no he didn't grow but there's no proof nobody writes all set fire to that if you don't catch someone red handed setting the fire then look for those who ordered it it's a crime. that it could be the farmers board who has everyone is a suspect but the biggest suspects are the n.g.o.s. now the raging fires cover in sao paulo which is home to more than $12000000.00 people under a blanket of smoke so thick it blocked out the sun we see video here of how brazil's biggest city was plunged into darkness in the middle of the day and there were also reports of

ongoing effort and you have to adjust to new threats and new problems and to be vigilant about regulation and enforcement . >> i was born and raised along the source of the river, which is a big river and i can remember the phone used to go fishing with my dad and it was really, as a kid you know that's not normal but it was disgusting. that was in the 70s but i remember the commercial of the indian worry walked along the garbage and now, and that was never in there before that now it's cleaned up a lot. lately we seem to be getting back to not caring about protecting our environment because we won the battle and we do the same thing all over again with the oceans and all of that. sooner or later we got to wake up because you can't keep polluting where you live at. it's just logic, making sense, if you state something to someone your tree hugger but all these crazy things being said, can't we just be a logical species. you don't go upstream and relieve yourself and go downstream for drinking water. we've gotten kind of good with the environment, and we are plaguing ourselves and that's how i

and so if they can -- if colluding with the government regulators can keep innovation out of the marketplace, then of course that helps. >> host: you have written two becomes, you can farm, and your successful farm business. what you have just told us doesn't sound like it's an easy gig. >> guest: no, it's not an easy gig but there are work-arounds. a lot of work-arounds, and so, yes, do we live in a straitjacket whatever -- tyranny? in many ways, yes, but we still have plenty of -- still meanty of opportunities, and so rather than dwelling on the problems, these books are about dwelling on the opportunities and the opportunities are that we can either find ways around, whether it's to build a little commercial kitchen, collaborate with somebody who already has one, work with a processor that iralready licensed. those are things we have done. you can elect to just not comply and there are now more and more people around the country who are creating direct farmer to consumer transactional models that are not in commerce. that's the legal word, in commerce. can give you a glass of raw milk. th

what kinds of checks and balances exist on regulating that? >> those are fundamentally judgment calls for hill barr to say i think it would simply not serve the public interest for the following three sentences to be included because of embarrassment factors, unjustified notoriety. and checks and balances i think we will see that play out. we have the beginning of a pretty lively conversation between the house of representatives and the justice department. i envision a time will come when there will be as we call it in the law and in camera review. let's have a chairman and the senior staff people look at the full set of information no matter how embarrassing it i'd be. that is done not infrequently and we shall see what the protocol is but i think the protocol will emerge from that. there will not be a judicial review of that. >> with that a consideration in your report in terms of relevance, whether a private matter was essential to include it? >> we had a very and i describe this in the look, lively and continuing conversation about the deta

our national survival depends on our defense, which we are perfectly capable of regulating and judgingselves. understood,rke well we have to be continuously evaluating changed circumstances and be ready to adopt our policies accordingly. we must remain vigilant against all attempts from the outside and inside to erode our national sovereignty. we will not ask permission. and we will not apologize for protecting the united states of america. [applause] just to say that last line again, we will not kneel. thank you very much. [applause] thank you. thank you very much. thank you very much. , you dotold that questions and answers, which i am happy to do. there are microphones out there, am i right? people standing in line somewhere? >> good evening. my name is ryan. i am from queens university in united kingdom. the united kingdom will leave the european union, and i was wondering what opportunities you see for greater cooperation between the united kingdom and the united states especially now we have a new government under boris johnson? sec. bolton: there are number of opportunities. i h

so there's a great deal of concern across europe over this item specifically right and you mentioned the u.k. regulators in this case but france and germany have also been very noticeable in sounding the alarm about libra saying that along those lines of what you're saying facebook could become a shadow bank with its own currency unpack that for us the criticisms from france and germany. right so we step back a little bit facebook made a very disturbing statement about a month ago and they said that they wanted libra to be a global id a global driver's license that everybody can use and so when you look at france specifically they have great concerns about this have the great concerns about privacy and personal information really being controlled by facebook but on another level they have concerns over libra which is essentially without a doubt a crypto currency and when they mean a shadow bank they mean a currency that is not going to be transparent that government regulators cannot look at and which in some cases as we've seen with the dark web and other places that use bitcoin for example some of the
