Emily speaks with Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater of the Department of Justice's antitrust division about her role at the centre of an ideological battle on the right concerning corporate power and market consolidation. They discuss the recent ruling in the Google search case, Slater's philosophy of "America First antitrust"—which aims to be a "cop on the beat" against violations without stifling benign deals or creating burdensome regulations—and how this approach differs from that of progressives like Lina Khan. Slater also addresses the unique challenges of litigating against Big Tech, the influence of lobbyists, and how her perspective as an immigrant and a mother of teenage sons informs her work in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
