bezos. he bought "the washington post" to have political influence. and i have to tell you, we have a different country than we used to have. we have a different -- we owns amazon he owns political influence so that amazon will benefit from it that's not right and believe me, if i become president, oh, do they have problems they'll have such problems >> jason, we have the president of the united states targeting one of the soon-to-be richest men in the country and one of the richest men in the world. how important is this to bezos, to "the post" and to amazon? >> listen, donald trump makes an extremely valid point. if it was 2008 amazon has been paying local state taxes in all but four states, new hampshire and montana and the four states in our union that don't charge state sales tax. amazon pays their taxes. so this is a completely fake tweet. it's fake news and i think donald trump is -- there's a little bit of projection going on here obviously, donald trump didn't want to release his ta

i don't know that jeff bezos is that hands-off with the washington post. he gave the company a lot of leeway, the money to bring a technology orientation to the newspaper. >> you also cover alibaba. they have been investing billions of dollars in grocery stores across the other pond. what do you make of this new battlelines being drawn? >> largely, amazon has been cut. i think the difference between a markets is that the u.s. is a much more developed a traditional market. we like both companies fundamentally. both can do well in their respective areas. about what that -- they have been introducing hartwell. -- hardware. they're trying to make it easier for people to buy impulse purchases from their home. there is the -- one, you can scan a barcode or say something into it, it is those -- buttons where you can press a button to reorder your tied automatically. de automatically. you can imagine amazon -- buttons. you can imagine an echo where somebody is asking for a certain food item or even a male. one of those prepackaged sushi mills that whole foods has,

this is more to jeff bezos' personal acquisition.ot is needed in terms of investment and rehabilitating. emily: does that mean that he will be hands-off? >> probably not as much. i don't know that jeff bezos is that hands-off with the washington post. he gave the company a lot of leeway, the money to bring a technology orientation to the newspaper. i think it will be the same way he will be introducing tech and pay to whole foods. emily: you also cover alibaba. they have been investing billions of dollars in grocery stores across the other pond. what do you make of this new battleline being drawn? largely, amazon has been u.s., india. i think the difference between a markets is that the u.s. is a much more developed a traditional market. china is less developed traditional retail and gone online faster driven by mobile technology. we like both companies fundamentally. we prefer alibaba right now on an evaluation basis. both can do well in their respective areas. emily: the amazon ecco is another interesting piece of the puzzle. talk

. >> but over time i don't think jeff bezos does anything that's not disruptive it will be interestingo see what happens next two years. >> have you ever tried to buy sugar at whole foods just regular normal sugar for baking cookies or like flour or salt that's not ar tesal sea salt? >> they have their organic versions i don't know about sugar but flour. >> that's what hans is saying, everybody at whole foods is a prime customer, but a very small percentage of overall prime customers shop at whole foods. if you're going to offer this experience, are people going to get all they want? yes, amazon sells cheerios right now. whole foods doesn't. if i want to get my cheerios and my produce, what kind of soration centers do they need in urban areas and suburbs to get all those things to me in a way that makes me happy? it's going to be expensive and i'm not sure investors are trading on that extra expense right now. it's going to take time. >> overlap amazon prime users and whole foods users for sure so it will be interesting way to see amazon get whole food to move, more high end and techy

number one, jeff bezos just showed his cards.xpanding amazon fresh but nobody really talks about it. nobody is aware it's happening. this has been a big thing but jeff bezos has laid his cards on the table and it's hugely impactful. assets to goed the for online. ishas shown his cards and he massively accelerating his move to online groceries. in my opinion, he has slammed floor.al to the what would have taken them five years to build up, he has it tomorrow which is the bakeries, the kitchens, the logistics, the distribution centers -- it's all happening now's we speak. delivery is grocery beyond what other supermarket companies in the food business have been doing with e-commerce. u.k.,the u.s. but in the they are much more advanced. in the u.s., they have been toying around on the edges. they have done pick up at the store. whichses the big picture jeff bezos and amazon get which is all of the data. how does google make money? it's off of advertising. if we can get that basket going can puthome, we incremental things the basket

the thing you left out is that jeff bezos is also respected.donald trump has craved his entire life. it's this neediness that makes him chase after "the new york times." i think he cannot tolerate that somebody like jeff bezos is more successful in things donald trump would like to be successful at, including media, so now he's decided to go off the reservation. so here's the question, though. how long will it be before rank and file republicans who like donald trump also are for internet sales taxes. >> okay. i'm going to bet that that's a bridge too far for them, that he will get zero support for sales taxes. >> i don't know. i mean trump voters, trump supporters have decided russia is okay. they've decided russian hacking is okay. >> right. >> i mean the rubicon has been crossed on what republicans are willing to tolerate. the polling shows that even though they think donald trump might have colluded with the russians, they don't think there's a problem with that. >> they've always hated taxes more than russia. they've always hated taxes the

felloff like the one yesterday could sink bezos down the list. so far in 2017 but yesterday the stock took a tumble driving down bezos net worth. it's recovering a little bit some of the loses today. amazon next earning report could push bezos to the top spot or topple him out of the number two spot entirely but working in bezos' favor is bill gates pledge to give away half of his net worth during lifetime through his work with the bill and melinda gates foundation. neil: that's a lot of money. in the meantime, stocks are jumping in the promise that the senate is going to get a rework version of the senate health care deal that has been by no fewer than nine republican members. that's of course, the july 4th holiday. the rapid timetable is raising eyebrows but it will continue to raise portfolios. what do you think? it doesn't mean that it's a done deal, what do you think? >> it certainly mean that it's a done deal, neil, i tend to be one that is a little bit optimistic on whether they can get something not only completed but something that reall
