overnight, a setback as jeff bezos takes on elon musk in the modern space race. blue origin, the space tech company founded by jeff bezos, delaying the launch of new glenn, set to be the first rocket from the company to reach orbit, the reusable rocket marks the first major competitor to elon musk's spacex falcon nine, which has been launching payloads for more than a decade. new glenn is larger than the falcon nine and packs twice the power. >> we can take 45 metric tons to leo orbit. it really changes what people are going to think about how and what they can bring to space. >> blue origin has made some notable launches in the past, sending nearly 50 people into space aboard their new shepard rocket, including our michael strahan. oh, my. yeah. at the same height as a 32 story building, new glenn could fit the new shepard rocket inside its cargo hold. and yet, it's still not as large as spacex starship rocket. bezos is also challenging musk on other fronts, with plans to launch a constellation of internet satellites to take on spacex's starlink internet service

jeff bezos, the owner of the l.a. times, all of these places have other business interests that they need to kind of be in the good graces of the next incoming trump administration if they want to care about those businesses. there's also, of course, fear -- increasing fear about lawsuits. we have already seen abc, of course, pay out $16 million to donald trump. there's been threats of further defamation lawsuits. and also there is actually a fear that we are -- the medi writ large has sort of lost sight of the readership and the population of america that maybe they're kind of getting them wrong. when you do look at the favorability pols, donald trump's favorability, he is in a bit of a honeymoon phase right now, so that is changing. some people so far, slight majority, are okay with how he's handling the transition. there is that feeling that maybe there needs to be some sort of change. that's what you hear from people like "the la times" owner. >> the change is -- >> add a voice like scott jennings. >> you add. tha

jeff bezos -- >> thinking about it. it. >> yes, i've been talking, i'm talking to a lot of people, 'cause i'm just disturbed by what's happening there. i'm sure other people are, too. the question is if he wants to sell it. he hasn't indicated any interest whatsoever, but i wanted to raise the idea, because i think it needs new leadership and new management. geoff: and right, i was going to say he's given no indication that he intends to sell. but what's the vision? why are you in the hunt? >> well, you know, i started off at the washington post in the news in the mailroom, excuse me, that's where i started my career when i was at college at georgetown university. and so that was my first job, and i worked there for many years. i started covering the internet there, which is my big area. i went on to work at the wall street journal and the new york times, and did a whole bunch of different things, including a very famous tech conference. that was pretty good. and so i've been watching what's happening at the post for a

i would imaginejeff bezos would want it to have gone up and performed successfully but i think it wasnot there would either be a delay or some little bit wouldn't go right. this is normal and part of the development process but the billionaires will be competing with each other in space very soon. the question is when new glenn will be ready for launch. it probably won't be in the next few days because they are draining it of fuel and they will have to put fuel back into it which is time—consuming and they will have to resolve whatever issue it was and the launch window closes on the 16th of january so there is too much to do i think to do it in that time. if i were to guess, i might be wrong, but it will probably be in a few days they will have another go. it is a good job they are billionaires, because i am guessing it is costly. they blamed a vehicle subsystem failure and do we know what went wrong? something in the rocket wasn't working properly is the translation. so many things in a rocket have to go right, hundreds of things. before each launch, notjust for a test flight like t

both bezos and zuckerberg have donated $1 million to trump's inauguration fund. last week, zuckerberg ended professional fact checking on instagram and facebook, citing a shifting political landscape, and bezos decided last fall that the washington post, which he owns, would not endorse vice president kamala harris. and as we await the supreme court's ruling on whether tiktok can stay in the u.s, a new app is topping the charts on apple's app store. and it's a lot like tiktok in more ways than one. let's bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman. okay, scott, go ahead and tell us about red note. yeah, the more things change, audrey, apparently the more they stay the same. r red note, interestingly enough, owned by a chinese company just like tiktok. and so that's part of the problem. but also part of the interest. apparently people are going on red note and they're subtitling their their posts, which is thoughtful to people on the other end who may not speak either mandarin chinese or english. and there's a lot of back and forth, and it's very much lik

she believes this was editorial interference by "the washington post," owned by bezos. shipley says he was concerned this was repetitive. he said a recent column was published about the same topic. i've seen many times cartoons and columnists have repeated each other. the cartoonist believes this was a form of censorship and she quit the post as a result. there's been a drain on talent at the post as others have left. some expressing concern about the leadership of the post. for a decade bezos was seen as an exemplar owner of the post, this billionaire willing to fund the post even when it was losing money. in recent weeks there have been concerns about whether he'll have the post back in a trump 2.0. we've seen all this coverage recently, jim, about moguls, media moguls, tech moguls bending a knee for trump. if some are bending a knee, others have to stand up straighter than others because it's what the audience needs. maybe the tech moguls think shareholders need to see a knee for trump. but we're seeing a lot of internal angst at "the washington post.

of course, this comes as one both zuckerberg and bezos have given a million each to the inaugural fundt's a big part of this. but also they have really been working over the last several weeks to smooth relationships with donald trump. we know that both of them have gone to mar-a-lago to meet with donald trump directly. they've also remained in close contact with donald trump's team, and they recognize really, that now that donald trump is going to be president yet again, they want to have a better relationship with that with him than they did during his first term. and so that's a key part of this. i think the question of, you know, what power and influence they have is still a question. it's unclear what mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos are going, you know, whether they're going to have this great relationship with donald trump moving forward. but i think this shows that they are very much well on their way to having that. musk, of course, is in a much stronger position as one of donald trump's closest allies has been someone that he has really looked to for his opinion on a number of

both bezos and zuckerberg have donated $1 million to trump's inauguration fund. the president elect has previously accused zuckerberg's company, meta, of silencing conservative voices on its facebook and instagram pages. last week, as you know, meta founder announced plans to end professional paid fact checking on instagram and facebook, citing a shifting political landscape. a california lawmaker is looking to help communities get ahead of the next natural disaster. east bay congressman eric swalwell announced a new bill today called the preventing our next natural disaster act. if approved, it would make changes to the way fema operates and boosts the agency's budget. congressman swalwell says the bill would also provide funding to communities that are most vulnerable to natural disasters to help them better prepare for increasing threats. a south bay 16 year old says he couldn't sit on the sidelines as wildfires ripped through southern california. he put his own tech skills to work to create a website to help fire victims move forward. it's a story you'll see

the interesting thing between spacex and blue origin is you have bezos and musk, two billionaires, theompanies were founded at the same time, 2002. until a couple of years ago they had invested the same amount of money into both companies and when you look at what spacex has done over that time, dominating the market and enabling this entrepreneurship, innovation and private capital with jeff bezos launching these luxury trips to the edge of space with small rockets. new glenn is the vehicle that is going to launch satellites and enable them to do things like lunar missions and everything else blue origin wants to do. it's important for them to get the vehicle up and it's important for the rest of us because competition brings prices down for everyone. mike: chad, what do you see the incoming trump administration doing to help foster the space industry, from your standpoint, and what are some of the things you would like to see the new president do when he takes office? chad: we are certainly expecting a greater integration of commercial capabilities into government programs. i think w

to the inauguration and meta announces an end to dei programs and censorship and sounds like jeff bezos at amazon is doing the same. what do you think accounts for this incredible turn of events? brian: call me naive. i like a good redemption story. i think zuckerberg looks at what's happened with musk and that the influence he has, the cultural meaningfulness he has and he's jealous of it and by the way if you're in the business of running a social media platform at the end of the day you better be in favor of free speech because that's what you do. if you're not in favor of that your market goes away so to me it might be self-interested. it might just be a show, but i think a guy like him is growing up on-the-job and over the past four years he realized that's not a fun environment to be in. the biden censorship environment. larry: it's a very benign view. brian: i'm willing to be wrong on that but on a friday i'm going to be positive. larry: silicon valley has certainly changed its stripes and in particular, as you note, many leaders of silicon valley have come into the trump camp, s

that is why so many ceos from zuckerberg to bezos, everyone's coming to mar-a-lago.me minister from canada. foreign ministers. everybody wants to be there because they know this is where the changes in the world, everything is going to be decided here. that's why the biggest and brightest and why so many of the silicon valley billionaires that did not support trump in the first term were saying you know what? better take another look. better get on his side and get on his page. i think you are going to see mar-a-lago continue to be more than just, you know, southern white house or whatever title they give it. i think it's going to be a place he spends a lot of time during his next four years and where a lot of important decisions will be made and where a lot of important people will go meet him. >> joey: say mar-a-lago, really president-elect donald trump. most western countries haven't done as welling as we have in general. they will haven't done as well responding to covid and all of that economically. they are hungry. they are hungry to move forward. they know pre

i think you have some of them like zuckerberg and bezos are trying to claw that back a bit, trying tomore balanced. i don't know if it will work. i think it might be too little too late. >> trace: "los angeles times", people are hemorrhaging, leaving us in droves. here's jimmy kimmel lying and almost crying. watch. >> we see our fellow men and women coming together to support each other. [applause] >> into all of the vile and irresponsible and stupid things are alleged future president and it is gaggle of scumbags chose to say. the fact that they chose to attack our firefighters who apparently art white enough to be out there. >> trace: he attacked the politicians, beverly. >> if you look at what donald trump has been saying even before this tragedy happened, he's been pointing to gavin newsom about the potential of fires for years now. that is a white male, not a minority fireman, so this is just blanket lies and i think what we are seeing, with are talking about climate change, whether saying that donald trump is politicizing this and all republicans are pouncing, it's because they

sri: one jeff bezos talks about the washington post he talks about a complex of fire. somebody like jennifer piepszak is replacing a 40 year veteran of the firm. in the same breath the banking tells us she's not interested in being the ceo. the most interesting thing about the management changes is to figure out who will ultimately be the replacement for jamie dimon? who should we anoint as a successor? today we got no real answer is except ruling out jennifer piepszak. sonali: do the investment bankers say we should be at the top, we should be leading the firm? how do you choose somebody well-rounded enough to run a bank at that scale? do you bring back charlie scharf? >> there is no way that happens. at least, i do not think there is a way. look at what has changed to the last 12-18 months. it is a two horse race. either marion lake or jennifer piepszak with many seeing jennifer piepszak as a frontrunner. now, you have more people in contention. with the announcement it is clear that jamie dimon isn't going away. he is signaling he will be in the draw a little while

we have, everybody jeff bezos came, bill gates, mark zuckerberg came, many of them came numerous times for the bankers have all comfort everyone is coming. we have nothing anybody saying anything bad about anybody. i'm not used to it. a lot of us respect the republican party. the republican party has become a much bigger party. it's become a party for the worker. if you look at all of the union about i got when i say, it's all of us together. it's a whole thing. we won the teamsters would agree with the autoworkers. we are all heavily union and non- union states we won by a lot. florida is an example we won by millions at the highest we've ever got. it's been a great period of time. >> global leaders have called you as well. still no call with putin. is that day one or week one problem? >> he wants to meet. president sheik, without a lot of communication. with a lot of meeting set up with a lot of people but some have come but i'd rather wait until after the 20th. >> me with putin or meet with president sheik do you want to have some kind of a summit or do they want to come here? >> to

jeff bezos, why is it the richest and most powerful who seem to crumble and cower, the fastest and mostcertainly dispiriting and often disgusting to look at that, because indeed, they are the people who should be, you know, they're relatively immune from any consequences of lawsuits. they have the money to defend themselves. but it's always been like this. autocrats make these kind of bargains with the richest, you know, industry titans. and, you know, authoritarianism is about taking a right, taking away rights for the many, but giving the very few more liberties. and that's where deregulation comes in. it's where privatization comes in. and that's been that's very important to authoritarianism all over the world, that the rich grow richer. it was a foundation of neoliberal economics practiced in chile during pinochet's dictatorship. and so people, you know, feel that it's a free for all, and they're going to cash out by being able to plunder the economy, plunder the workforce, because the regulations won't be there. and that evidently appeals to the bezos, to zuckerberg and all the ot

the following day it was reported that the other part of the bezos empire, amazon, was paying a pretty had sketching $40 million to a streaming banner documentary about melania trump. that seemed like an insane amount of money for that but what do i know. but then came the announcement today from facebook billionaire mark zuckerberg. >> we are going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes. the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the u.s. second, we are going to semper fi our content policies and get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse. what started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it's gone too far. >> it's gone too far, says the founder of one of the world's biggest social media empires that monetizes your attention at scale to make it incredibly incredible fortunes. he's announcing he's ending cont
