MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT IS AN AUTHOR, "NEW YORK TIMES"

COLUMNIST, AND THREE-TIME PULITZER PRIZE WINNER.

♪ WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE ♪

>> Stephen: IT'S LIKE OLD HOME WEEK, HAVEN'T TALKED IN A LONG

TIME, MR. "WORLD IS FLAT," MR. "GLOBALIZATION."

LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION BEFORE WE GET ON TO YOUR BOOK HERE.

THE IDEA THAT RUSSIA HAS USED CYBER WARFARE TO INTERVEER WITH

OUR ELECTION OVER HERE AND THE RUMORS THAT HAVE BEEN

PROMULGATED, EVEN BY THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THAT

DONALD TRUMP MIGHT BE UNDER THE THUMB OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.

DO YOU HAVE A PERSPECTIVE ON THAT IN ANY WAY, THOMAS L.

YOU KNOW, WHAT STRUCK ME, STEPHEN, LISTENING TO YOUR

OPENING, TRUMP MIGHT BE THE FIRST PRESIDENT WHO HAS TO

RECUSE HIMSELF FROM DEALING WITH THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

YOU REALLY DO WONDER HOW THIS IS GOING TO PLAY OUT AT THEIR FIRST

AND THE WHOLE RELATIONSHIP IS SO WEIRD IN THE SENSE THAT THIS ALL

STARTED, STEPHEN, WITH PUTIN THINKING HILLARY WAS GOING TO

WIN, AND HE HATED HILLARY, SO TO TWEAK HER, HE PRAISED TRUMP, AND

TRUMP CAME BACK AND SAID, "THAT GUY LIKES ME.

I'D BE A STRONG LEADER, TOO, IF I ELIMINATED ALL MY OPPONENTS

AND THE THING HAS SORT OF CASCADED NOW TO THE POINT WHERE

YOU REALLY WONDER, TRUMP SAID HE'D LIKE TO WORK WITH RUSSIA.

WE'LL WORK TOGETHER TO FIGHT ISIS AND SYRIA.

RUSSIA'S ALLIES FIGHTING ISIS IN SYRIA ARE HEZBOLLAH, IRAN, AND

AND IT'S WHY, STEPHEN, WHEN I LISTEN TO HIM, YOU ALWAYS FEEL

BUT HE HASN'T THOUGHT AROUND THE CORNER, YOU KNOW

>> Stephen: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY?

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY?

BECAUSE ISN'T IT THE PRESS' JOB TO GET TO THAT SECOND PARAGRAPH,

TO SAY OKAY WHAT IS THE IMPLICATION OF WHAT YOU JUST

HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT IT WITH ANY ACTION OR ANY PLAN?

I HEARD A LOT OF FIRST PARAGRAPHS BUT NO PLANS BEYOND

HE WAS ASKED HOW DO YOU REPLACE OBAMACARE?

>> "WE'RE GOING TO GET RID OF THE LINES" I THINK I RECALL, BETWEEN THE STATES.

THIS IS WHAT I WORRIED ABOUT HIM FROM THE VERY DPING BECAUSE ALL

WE'VE HEARD FROM HIM NOW-- TRUMP TWEET EXPAWLG OF THIEVES

THINGS-- IT HAS ONE CHARACTER BEFORE YOU'RE PRESIDENT, BUT

BEGINNING ON JANUARY 20, THAT'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES TWEETING, TWEETING AT NORTH KOREA, TWEETING ABOUT

AND THAT HAS WHOLLY DIFFERENT IMPLICATION S.

>> Stephen: DO YOU IMAGINE THAT WILL CHANGE?

>> Stephen: NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OTHER THINGS TO BE

ANXIOUS ABOUT, OR TO BE HAPPY ABOUT-- I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE

YOU'VE GOT A NEW BOOK CALLED "THANK YOU FOR BEING LATE:AN

OPTIMIST'S GUIDE FOR THRIVING IN THE AGE OF ACCELERATION."

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IS THE AGE OF ACCELERATION?

>> THE BOOK ARGUE WIERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THREE EXPONENTIAL

ACCELERATIONS, THE MARKET, MOTHER NATURE, AND MOORE'S LAW.

MOTHER NATURE, CLIMATE CHANGE, IF YOU FUT ON A GRAPH, IT LOOKS

THE MARKET FOR ME IS DIGITAL GLOBALIZATION.

EVERYTHING IS BEING DIGITALIZED, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PAYPAL.

AND MOORE'S LAW, COINED BY GORDON MOORE, SAID THE SPEED IN

POWER MICROCHIPS WILL DOUBLE IN ROUGHLY 24 MONTHS.

WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE THREE ACCELERATIONS.

I TELL THE STORY OF INTEL TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE POWER OF

THEY TOOK THE 1971 W.V. BEATLE AND SAID WHAT IN THIS CAR

IMPROVED AT THE SAME RATE MICROCHIPS HAVE OVER THE LAST 52

THEY DETERMINED THAT CAR WOULD GO 300,000 MILES AN HOUR.

IT WOULD GET TWO MILLION MILES A GALLON AND COST FOUR CENT.

SO THAT'S THE POWER OF THE EXPONENTIAL THAT'S REALLY

>> Stephen: HOW DO WE SURVIVE IN IT, THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN.
