let's bring in emily sherman who's been at one of the protests in russia's capital moscow emily good to see you let's start by just saying what was the atmosphere there at the protest today well the atmosphere i would say was was tense from the beginning even as the demonstrators assembled on pushkin square in the center of moscow there were actually putin supporters waiting for them who basically started a shouting match with them they were shouting for putin and the demonstrators assembling there were shouting for russia without putin and were shouting against putin and soon after that the arrests started there were groups of riot police out in force basically grabbing people out of the crowd and putting them into police vans now there was some defiance among the protesters as well after the police cleared the square some of them kind of returned to the square and kept assembling around the pushkin monument on the on the center at the center of the square as police kept arresting them as well now police here say that three hundred people were arrested just in moscow observers say t

that idea is a very modern, very recent gloss on the sherman act and clayton act in particular. just read the clayton act, read the plaintext of the clayton act. it is about competition. act,on 2 of the sherman nowhere in the legislative history did we have to prove that the price of this went up by $10 or something like that. glossese modern and unsupportable as a matter of congressional intent. earlieru touched on it -- as a washington hand, and i say that as a couple meant, compare and contrast the political environment 20 years ago and today and the big-text position in that. >> i think there is a lot of similarities. the microsoft case led to a lot of people being hired in washington, that's a good thing. [laughter] i think, though -- a lot of the similarities to the microsoft case in washington are .rofound they do exist. one of the things that has changed is the polarization and a heat emanating from the right and the left makes it more difficult for people like orrin hatch to stand up and make the case that the antitrust laws need to be enforced. it is much more difficul

that is a very modern gloss -- a very recent gloss on the sherman act and clayton act, in particular. just read the clayton act. look at the plain text of the clayton act. it's about competition. and so the idea -- and infection too. sherman act, nowhere in the history you have to prove that the price went up by $10 or something like that. these are modern glosses and i think people are interested in congress unsupportable as a matter of congressional content. there's cases out there, but i think that has to be pointed out. >> you touched on it earlier. as sort of washington hand, if you will. and this is meant as a complement. compare and contrast the political environment 20 years ago and today and sort of big tech sort of position in that. >> i think there's a lot of similarities. i do think the fact that, you know, the microsoft case led to a lot of people being hired in washington had a lot -- i think that's a very good thing.
