but owner mike ashley chose a different route.ps and decent money, it could have been a godsend to this town. he brough people in from abroad. some people have resented that ever since. did what's mike ashley's done with sports direct and, you know, bringing in the eastern european workers, did that play any part in your decision to vote out? yes, it did, yes. mike ashley said there'll be no unemployment in shirebrook. he employed a handful of people that he imported — all his own staff. it's never picked up since. in response to these criticisms, mike ashley has previously said that he would not have been able to grow his sports direct business without using those agency workers. they largely come from eastern european countries, such as poland, romania and bulgaria. who do you think people are going to vote for if there's an election, and why? i'll vote for labour. i've always been labour, so i'm not going to change now. but saying that, the labour has got to wake itself up a bit. they've got to sort themselves out. and isjeremy

i also want to ask ashley and bob about some of their reporting.ut let me play that moment you talk about. >> do you know who i did it at the request of it? the state department. i never talked to a ukrainian official until the state department called me and asked me to do it. and then i reported every conversation back to them. and i'm a pretty good lawyer, just a country lawyer, but it's all here, right here. the first call from the state department. >> so laura borrowed that face from sean hannity who wore that face when rudy sat there and said michael cohen reimbursed all the money to the porn stars and through the law firm. and sean was like oh. i mean, so laura borrowed that face. that's the -- what are you getting ahead of rudy face. >> and there are people i'm sure bob and ashley have talked to them too around the president who are just like stop talking. there is just the more that he says, it's just it creates more problems and they don't need any more problems right now. >> the state department's about to be in receipt, i would assume, b

ashley: correct.>>> the ways and means committee is considering rolling back the state and local cap deduction cap. as of january 19th, the treasury department is keeping $323 billion of salt deductions. that is how much the federal government has taken in tax revenue of changing the s.a.l.t. deduction rule. come in jonathan williams. alex chief economist. what would happen with the budget deficit already ballooning if we put back those salt deductions? >> hi, david. this would be something that would absolutely bust the deficit wide open. in the next 10 years we would look at something like 6 to 700 billion extra added to national debt because of the repeal of the salt caps. this has been very good public policy. this is kind of one of these strange things around washington, all all of sudden liberal democrats are trying to protect a benefit that protects wealthy individuals. david: exactly. who is standing for the 1%? liberal democrats. the whole point not only get more revenue from the federal gove

we also have ashley gold of the information, and alexandra levine of "politico." ms. levine, first question to you. facebook has seen a lot of attention in this town in the last couple of months. do we expect -- what's going on with that case and we expect further attention to that company? >> thank you for having. great to be. the ftc $5 billion settlement with facebook which was the culmination of this long privacy probe prompted by the cambridge analytica data scandal has divided washington. on the one hand, you have republicans and industry groups say this by building daughters find because is the largest to come that that in history of te agency really, that it meant facebook was being held accountable. on the other side you have democrats and consumer privacy advocates blasting the ftc track record on enforcement and saying that because a facebook's size and how much money it has, this will not deter facebook from bad behavior in the future. so right now in washington we are in this wait-and-see mode with facebook where facebook is still doing damage control to

>> ashley: when you meet people here, you know that you're seeing a direct descendant of a slave thatuito beach on james island in charleston. her mother owns the property, which has been in her family for generations. fact of the matter is in the old south back when the dishes, flavors and ingredients of southern cooking, which is to say american cooking as opposed to european, chances are that food was grown, gathered, produced and prepared by african slaves. chef b.j. dennis has made it a personal mission to celebrate and protect the culinary traditions his ancestors passed down to him. >> b.j.: so this is, um, some local blue crab, fresh in season. this is a play on some garlic crabs, but this is shrimp butter instead of garlic butter, and then you have that play of, you know, the french influence into the cuisine right here. >> anthony: the flavors and textures and food ways of west africa are all over southern cooking. and there are few better places to see how short the line between there and here than gullah culture. >> anthony: i'm really enjoying this, i got to tell you. >>

ashley, what do you make of the disparity in the punishment here?i think we need to look critically at criminal justice reform. one of the big differences are state governments doing these sentences versus the federal government. you have states across the board, some of them you can get a life sentence some you get a few days in jail for the same exact crime. i think each of these states need to look at criminal justice reform, look at the laws that they are enacting. when we go and vote for legislatures, they are actually the ones that impose the laws. they are the ones that actually set what is a felony and what's not a felony. what's got a mandatory minimum what doesn't have a mandatory minimum. i think people need to look closely at what their state elected government is putting as a punishment for a crime and what their local judges and what their local prosecutors are asking for punishments and what the judges are imposing and then take that to the ballot box, vote criminal justice reform, vote for prosecutors that are in favor of criminal ju

ashley, in following up on that, procedurally, my understanding when there is a whistle-blower complaint like this, that is the inspector general then deems to be of an urgent nature, that procedurally congress is then supposed to have the opportunity, the intelligence committees are then supposed to have an opportunity to review that whistle-blower complaint. obviously the white house, the administration is currently fighting that. what is your sense in the trump white house? is that a battle they think they can win long-term, or is there a sense there that ultimately this is going to come out in some form? >> well, i would put it sort of in a more historical context. this is one of many battles. if you look back to the mueller investigation and congressional investigations of that, the white house has pretty much stonewalled on just about every request they've had from congress. they have exerted executive privilege to prevent former aides from testifying. they've refused to hand over documents. and so this is just another example where they're not going to give an inch. so far some of
