THINGS USUALLY FALL THE BACK
BURNER HOPE AND BRAD I THINK
HOLDING BIG TECH ACCOUNTABLE
CERTAINLY GOING TO BE A
PRIORITY
FOR CONGRESS.
>> I SPIED ON JD DURKIN LIVE ON
CAPITOL HILL, THANKS SO MUCH
FOR THE UPDATE AND GREAT
QUESTION. THANK SHOOTING.
>> WELL THERE'S A MASSIVE
POLITICAL SHAKEUP IN RUSSIA
APPEARING NOW TO BE A POWER
GRAB BY PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN YESTERDAY PRIME
MINISTER DMITRI MEDVEDEV
ANNOUNCED HIS NATION FOLLOWED
BY THE RESIGNATION OF THE
ENTIRE RUSSIAN CABINET THE
SHAKEUP COMES AFTER
A CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES THAT
COULD ALLOW HIM TO STAY IN
POWER PAST
2020 FOR THAT IS WHEN HIS TERM
IS SUPPOSED TO END AND THEN
NAMED HIS TAX SERVICE CHIEF AS
THE NEWS PRIME MINISTER TO HELP
US BREAK ALL THIS DOWN IS A
BLAKE HOUND SHELL HE IS THE
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR FOR DIGITAL
A POLITICO BLAKE WE'RE GOING TO
ASK SOME REALLY DUMB VERY BASIC
QUESTIONS, BUT.
ABOUT THESE RESIGNATIONS FIRST
AND FOREMOST WHERE THEY
RESIGNATIONS IN THE WAY THAT WE
THINK ABOUT THE WORD
RESIGNATION OR WAS THIS A
FORCED OVER ALL OF THAT.
>> I DON'T THINK A BUNCH
RUSSIAN MINISTERS JUST DECIDE
TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEIR
FAMILIES. OPEN BRAD WHAT WHAT
HAPPENED WAS GOOD ONE. THEY'RE
MADE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
WITH SHOCKED EVERYONE IN
RUSSIA'S POLITICAL CLASS EARLY
AND A LOT OF THE MINISTERS HAD
NO INKLING THIS WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN AND THEN YOU KNOW IT
HAPPENED PRETTY RAPIDLY AFTER
THAT AND THAT YES STEPS DOWN
THE CABINET STEPS DOWN THE
KREMLIN PUT OUT THESE IMAGES
THAT YOU'RE
SHOWING NOW LOOKS LIKE A
BEATING THE 2 MEN DEAD YET HIS
SHOULDERS ARE
HUNCHED OVER. YOU KNOW REALLY I
THINK INTENDED TO HUMILIATE HIM
AND WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IS
EYEWITNESS THROWING ITS OWN
GOVERNMENT UNDER THE BUS AND
SIGNALING THAT YOU
KNOW WHAT NEVER PROBLEMS THERE
ARE IN RUSSIA ARE THESE GUYS
FAULT THAT YOU GUYS ARE COMING
EXCEPT IT AND SO.
>> THE NEW PRIME MINISTER THAT
BRITAIN IS NOMINATED MIKHAIL
MISHUSTIN WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT HIM.
>> HE'S ONE OF PUTIN'S HOCKEY,
BUT IT'S A PRUDENT
HAS THESE A FAMOUS HOCKEY
MATCHES WHERE HE GETS TO SKATE
AROUND SCORE ALL THE GOALS AND.
>> IT'S SHOE STUNT IS IS IS ONE
OF THOSE GUYS WHO PLAYS HIM SO
HE'S IN THE INNER CIRCLE
OF PUTIN'S BUT IF YOU WILL, BUT
HE'S ALSO THIS KIND OF
LEGENDARY TECHNOCRAT,
RELATIVELY SPEAKING. HE
OVERHAULED RUSSIANS TAX SYSTEM
IN A WAY THAT EVEN PLACES LIKE
THE FINANCIAL TIMES HAVE
PRAISED THE TURN A
PRETTY MODERNIZED. COMPUTERIZE
REAL TIME TAXATION SYSTEM A LOT
OF CREDIT FOR THAT AROUND THE
WORLD AND WITHIN RUSSIA WHICH
HAS A THE NOTORIOUSLY CORRUPT
ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT WAS A
BIT REFORM COULDN'T
IS REWARDING WITH THIS TOP JOB,
BUT THE OTHER THING YOU NEED TO
KEEP IN MIND IS
YEARS AGO I THAT DOESN'T HAVE
AN INDEPENDENT POLITICAL BASE
OF HIS OWN SO HE IS SORT OF
LIKE A
A SAFE. PUPPY IF YOU WILL IS
NOT GOING TO THREATEN WHO DOES
HOLD ON POWER WHICH MAKE THE
MISTAKE. HE'S TRYING TO KEEP
HERE.
>> AND UH I MEAN HE'S ALREADY
BEEN IN POWER FOOD HAS A FOR
THE LAST
20 YEARS WHAT DO THE NEXT 20
YEARS LOOK LIKE A P IS THAT
HEALTHY STATION TO STATION AT
THE COUNTRY'S UNABLE TO.
>> LOOK IT'S HARD TO PREDICT
THE FUTURE IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO
DESCRIBE THE PRESIDENT, BUT
WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT
RUSSIA'S CONSTITUTION.
REQUIRES THAT YOU STEP
DOWN AS PRESIDENT AFTER 2024 SO
PUTIN HAD TO
DO SOMETHING AND YOU KNOW
PREVIOUSLY HE DID THIS LITTLE
MANEUVER WHERE HE DID. I
MINISTER FOR A LITTLE BIT AND
CAME BACK AS PRESIDENT. WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN HE DID THAT TOO
1011 ANNOUNCED HE WAS COMING
BACK AS PRESIDENT.
>> WAS.
>> MAJOR STREET PROTESTS AND
THERE HAVE BEEN YOU KNOW PRETTY
BIG
STREET PROTESTS. IT'S ON A
VARIETY OF ISSUES OVER THE LAST
YEAR AND SO I THINK ONE OF THE
REASONS YOU
WANT TO DUE TO SHAKE UP NOW IS
TO BUY HIMSELF A LITTLE BIT OF
BREATHING ROOM IN TIME. SO THAT
HE COULD ENGINEER SOME KIND OF
TRANSITION WHERE HE WOULD HE
WOULD HAVE A NEW JOB NEW JOB
TITLE
THAT BASICALLY RETAIN ALL THE
RAINS AND HERE IS HOW WHICH IS
WHY HE'S TALKING ABOUT CHANGING
THE CONSTITUTION. TO GIVE
POWERS TO OTHER PARTS OF THE
GOVERNMENT THAT PEOPLE ASSUME
HE'S GOING TO HE'S GOING TO
ASSUME FOR
A CELL I MEAN RUSH YOU HAVE TO
KEEP IN MIND. IT'S A LITTLE BIT
LIKE CALVIN BALL. REMEMBER WILL
REMEMBER CALI HOBBS THE
CARTOON. IN.
MAIN CHARACTER CABIN WOULD PLAY
WHERE THERE WE'RE ALWAYS RULES,
BUT THEY WERE NON TRANS AND
THEY WERE CONSTANTLY CHANGE
THAT KIND OF THE WAY RUSSIA'S
POLITICAL SYSTEM.
>> AND SO WHAT'S BEEN THE
REACTION FROM OTHER FOREIGN
OFFICIALS OF OTHER COUNTRIES
WHERE THEY ARE LOOKING AT
WHAT'S TAKING PLACE IN RUSSIA
NOW WHAT HAS BEEN THEIR
RESPONSE HAVE THEY SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT.
>> MOST US ADMINISTRATIONS YOU
COULD EXPECT TO ISSUE SOME KIND
OF STATEMENT OF CONCERN.
YOU KNOW, AND THE AFFIRMATION
THAT YOU KNOW WE THINK THAT AS
UNITED STATES. RUSSIA SHOULD
FOLLOW DEMOCRATIC RULES OF THE
ROAD. YOU CAN SEE THAT FROM THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHICH IS
PRETTY INTERESTING AND I THINK
NOTEWORTHY AND I THINK IN
EUROPEAN CAPITALS, THEY'RE
REALLY JUST WATCHING THIS
TO SEE. HOW IT PLAYS OUT YOU
KNOW RUSSIA IS A
POWERFUL
IMPORTANT COUNTRY THAT HAS A
LOT OF TOOLS AT ITS DISPOSAL.
AND A LOT OF MONEY IS AROUND SO
I COUNTRIES ARE JUST SORT OF
WATCHING QUIETLY AND THEY'RE
GONNA MAKE THEIR ASSESSMENT AS
THIS DEVELOPS.
>> I MEAN ASIDE FROM BEING THE
HOCKEY BUDDY, THE THE LEVERAGE
THAT HE ULTIMATELY HAS OVER FOR
THE LEAD, BUT ALSO THE LEVERS
THAN THAT HAS OVER HIM FOR HIM
TO ACTUALLY MAINTAIN DE FACTO
POWER.
>> WELL I THINK THE CONCEPT IS
ACTUALLY THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE A
LOT OF THE I THINK THE IDEA
IS THAT COULDN'T WILL SORT OF
RECEDE INTO THE INTO THE
BACKGROUND A LITTLE BIT THIS
GUY WILL BE THE NEW FRONT MAN
THIS IS REALLY COMMON IN A LOT
OF AUTHORITARIAN COUNTRIES
MONARCHIES FOR INSTANCE ARE
ALWAYS CASH IN THE GOVERNMENT.
THEY CAN
BLAME THEM, I'M A CERTAIN SAY
YOU KNOW WHATEVER
YOU'RE IN COMES ARE STAGNANT,
YOU'RE NOT HAPPY WITH THE DEMS
WELL, YOU KNOW
MORONS RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT
NOW ARE TO BLAME AND SO THAT I
THINK IS PART OF WHAT'S GOING
ON IN RUSSIA
AND YOU KNOW HE'LL HAVE TO HAVE
TO DELIVER SOMETHING OR YOU
KNOW THEY'LL BE MORE SHAKEUPS
IN THE FUTURE BUT
IT WILL BE EASIER FOR COULDN'T
TO BLAME HIM FOR ANYTHING THAT
SUBSEQUENT THOSE ARE
ALL WOW. YOU KNOW THIS IS A
STATE THAT'S THAT'S LARGELY BY.
A COMBINATION OF MONEY AND
BAUGH
PHYSICAL POWER AND I DON'T
EXPECT THAT TO CHANGE WITH THIS
