[laughter] >> well, look, you know, i appreciate you saying concern serve's getting beat up today. i want to talk about that one really quick because you're seeing jensen from nvidia selling that. he sold sound hound as well. this, i think, is a huge opportunity. i'm glad i'm on talking about it when the stock is' down so much. but hims and hers, charles, i think this one hits $100 probably by the end of the year with. don't get off this ship too soon, i think it has a lot part to go. and flagstar, this was the old new york bank corp.. i think this stock hits 20 the as well. they're under the ray radar, and not a lot of people are paying attention, but they're killing the s&p this eye. you've got to look at these small nam

bezos is protecting his businesses during trump's first term. trump went after amazon to punish the washington post. zuckerberg is using what i call the zeitgeist argument. it's not even so much a direct threat as, look, we're working in a different culture now and we have to adjust. that's good for business. some of these arguments are actually values based. we have to protect our employees. we have to protect our shareholders. these are all good reasons as far as they go. they're good tactical reasons. uh, there's only one reason not to obey, which is that this obeyance is what builds autocracy. if people withdraw their participation, if everybody acted like the seven legal officials who resigned over the department of justice's order to drop charges against new york mayor eric adams, if everybody acted like that, trump wouldn't be able to do what he's doing. but most people are obeying. >> so how do you see that progressing? i mean, is everybody shocked now? are they stunned into silence or inactivity, or do you foresee the world we live in?

something bezos wanted, something elon musk wanted. if you are a worker right now -- there are millions, who want to join a union because they know unions will give you better wages and working conditions, better benefits, what they have done is neutered that so right now union busting corporations like amazon and others can do what they do against workers with impunity. that is not standing with workers. we need to raise the minimum wage which is 7.25 to a living wage. i have not heard one word from the trump administration about that. >> they want to leave that up to states and corporations as well to make a decision. >> yeah. that's -- that ain't going to do it. >> vice president vance told us last sunday, despite the big tech ceos giving money to the inauguration for donald trump, he still believing they have too much power in big tech and that he says, you know, they're still on notice in regard to his past warnings they could be broken up. is that a place you are also concerned and could work with him on? >> well, i think the for

bezos or mr. sgrzuckerberg. mr. president, in a time of massive wealth and income inequality, we have never had more income and wealth inequality than we have had right now, it is beyond stupidity to provide more tax breaks to the very richest people in our country, and then to pay for those tax breaks by cutting back on medicaid and other programs desperately needed by working families all across this country. that is what we should not be doing. but let me take a moment to tell you what we should be doing. at a time when 85 million americans are uninsured or underinsured in our broken health care system, we have got to do what every other major country on earth does, and that is guarantee health care to all people as a human right, not a privilege. that's what we've got to do. at a time when one out of four americans cannot afford the outrageously high prices that the pharmaceutical industry charges, we've got to end the absurdity of the american people paying by far the highest prices in the world for prescriptio

so bezos is sitting in that line at the on the at the dais on the on the dais for the inauguration. has the real power there is that shared among those billionaires? no, it's elon musk. and so there's a different dynamic going on here as well that that donald trump has already acceded to by saying they must go out here and create efficiencies in my government. do with it as you want, do to whomever you want, whatever you want, and be happy with that. and that's where we are right now. until it no longer serves donald trump, as we saw with the hb1 visas. >> yeah, all important points. michael steele, good to see you. everyone can check out the weekend this weekend backlash over trump's ag basically admitting a revenge plan. we also have a former federal prosecutor who dealt with jan six. we're going to learn from six. we're going to learn from experts everywhere but the seat. the seat is leather. alan, we get it. you love your bike. we do, too. that's why we're america's number-one motorcycle insurer. but do you have to wedge it into everything? what? i don't do that. this reminds me

i'm conflating jeff bezos with mark zuckerberg, and i apologize for that. and these are two billionaires that do have something in common, which they have been sort of on the opposite side of trump. they've been trump critics. and now they have found a way, sort of an avenue to to his favor. and they've used it. >> quite an avenue. and i should note, he's not squeezing them for to improve their product, to help the american people or for free speech or for whatever. i mean, if the squeezing is squeezing is going into his presidential library or his or his back pocket. so ty cobb, who served as the top white house lawyer in trump's first administration, he is speaking out about this, he said in an interview with the journal, quote, everything he does, meaning trump is either to be vengeful or to accumulate wealth, power and adulation. all these people want a piece of him. i mean, that's his own former lawyer saying that to you guys. >> yeah, i know. it is. it is stunning. and i think that trump has personally been, particularly when you look at the tech laws

jeff bezos, the third richest man in the world and amazon's founder was one of them.million bucks to the inaugural fund. and according to the wall street journal, listen to this. he went to dinner with the future first couple at their florida resort in december. just over two weeks later, amazon agreed to pay $40 million to license the film all about her life, which is the most amazon has ever spent on a documentary in their history. and nearly three times the next closest offer. and that is potentially the tip of the iceberg. this week, the new york times pointed out that trump has been emboldened to push his business interests in his second term. one of the reporters on that story joins me now, eric lipton. he's a correspondent for the new york times washington bureau. eric, i'm so glad you're here. it has been a month of the second trump administration. tell us about your reporting on his businesses across the board, because he's pushing hard this time. >> it really seems that he's basically unrestrained, the family, as compared to the first time when we were focus

i was the jeff bezos owned company.l us what you did there and how you're using the experience here with zero g. >> yeah. so at blue origin, i was what's called crew member seven, which is the head of astronaut training for their new shepard suborbital rocket. so it was my great honor to train jeff bezos and his brother mark and wally funk and oliver daemen on that first flight in 2021, where they did the first commercial suborbital flight. and i did that job for about four and a half years. and then came to the zero zero gravity in january of last year of 2024. >> and so how are you going to use that experience here, you know, in terms of growing this company and getting more people to experience something that's so unique? >> yeah. you know, the, the, the ethos of, of zero gravity is that we want to make space accessible to all people. so anybody who wants to experience this, you don't need to have $60 million to go up to es to just to experience zero gravity. you can come and do it on our airplane. we have actually f

it is a fact that elon musk and jeff bezos have hundreds of lawsuits against them because they hurt their employees, won't let them organize, and that is all going to go away. and that is what it is all about. they bought access. our government has been for sale to the highest bidder for a long time. it is now in overdrive. host: here is aaron in new mexico, republican. good morning. caller: hail trump. i think it is wonderful what must and trump are doing for our company as a gen x'er to see the government operate in full transparency in the face of the american people, the usa. it is great. i don't think we are doing enough. they are not doing enough. they need to address these school shootings. i think these american parents are depraved for sending their kids to school where they have to go under a desk. school shootings in america. hail trump, america. host: there was some conversation about elon musk's level of security clearance. and this is what is in the guardian. this is from december of last year. it says that elon musk will not receive the highest level of government security

the amazon ceo, jeff bezos, recently said that he thought we would see a world where virtually everyd have generative ai and they need to stay ahead of this. the cloud providers are offering a variety of ai models with free use cases, but they also help customers tune the model and adapted to specific needs with tools and services like secure data storage and data management to make it easier for customers to handle the large data sets required for ai models. i think that these services should be seeing additional demand with faster adoption of ai and we will be seeing these companies becoming kind of the toll roads for ai, whether it is the cloud, the tools, the developers, or the processing capacity that customers need in order to allow other customers to develop and deploy ai. jackie: we have seen comments from washington that the government plans to be more supportive when it comes to investing in artificial intelligence. how much of that initial enthusiasm for the trump venture that was announced has worn off by now? tiffany: the stargate venture i think is a flashy announcement

jeff bezos recently asked who should be the next bond? i've got some ideas.with the golden booster seat and jessie could star in another toupee. >> i believe his name is henry cadville, because he's british, handsome and looks like a spy. i agree. i think he would be great, and greg had some ideas for the bond girls. he'll tell you about those. >> greg: i was thinking, do they have to be biological girls? 30 genders. is daniel greg no longer bond? >> he's no longer bond. >> greg: i know why, but anyway, should you have james bond. if it taken over by amazon he has to drive their truck. he needs to kill villains with packing tape and instead of martini shaking not stirred he should drink gatorade from a plastic bottle that he can pee into later. just like the amazon driver. >> i thought the elbow -- >> before he said at this time one thing i have in my notes, so i can make him transsense, number one, and number two, i love henry cavville, i think he's great. plays dutton, he's very hot. >> is he in contention? >> jeanine: i don't know but i'm putting him in co

like elon musk, and nobody talks about why men harris embracing george rose and bill gates and jeff bezosst: since you bring it up, he's got a trifecta. why not go to congress and some of these things, why depend on the executive order that can be reversed by the next president? guest: we agree. but we know trump. trump feels that congress does not move fast enough for him. it would be better for him to wait. his attitude is that the american people cannot afford to wait. and wife and something in place that three or four years later another administration come in &? i agree with you, but trump is not like any president that we seen in emory never seen such a frenetic way of so many executive orders because he wants to change it, and he also knows that a lot of these things that are pushing will probably go through and become effective, and once that happens, people will billy needed to believe it is having an impact on their lives in particular may come to the economy, it will remain lace. because remember it does not matter whether it is a president or congress, their boss is the americ

if we don't have the new zuckerbergs and jobs and bezos of the world coming up, then eventually we'reoing to have massive stagnation in our economy and when there's no liquidity in the venture market, venture capital funds like mine can't really deploy as much new capital, l.p.'s can't invest as much in venture funds and as a result start jumps either aren't being funded and not being created or they're going out of business when they don't necessarily have to, and so the ripple effect is severe. jackie: let's talk about artificial intelligence because that sector has gotten a lot of cash from venture capitalists so i don't think those startup founders are hanging out in a garage. but let's talk about the regulation in this space. it's virtually nonexistent at the federal level but there is movement at the state level. how do you see this shaking out and how are you advising startups in this space to navigate it right now? >> yeah, my advice is really exactly what you just said which is, we really have to pay attention to the states. all we see on the federal level was one tepid execu

agreement for her new documentary deal that came together back in december between amazon founder jeff bezosge we are expecting bruce ratner to direct from the rush-hour movies. and the steps in the immigration crackdown and cost-cutting efforts firing 20 immigration judges from backlog courts and 13 judges that had been sworn in yet. a major legal battle that is underway in the court over the legality of trump's birthright citizenship order, the new york times op-ed believe it or not same president trump might have a case over the 14th amendment stating that the supreme court has never ruled that children born to those living illegally in the u.s. are citizens the story about the courts there is a backlog of 3.7 million cases. cheryl: the birthright citizenship, didn't donald trump forgive me wrong untrue social post about this, the reason that that was actually established because of laws going back to slavery had nothing to do with current day. and they got a lawyer. >> i'm not a lawyer and i can pretend to be one is there room to talk about this, there is room in the law to make this som

would you try to get out of the way or jump on board to enjoy the ride that's why people like jeff bezosnd mark zuckerberg and a lot of the people used to be big democrat donors now in trump's corner hoping to cut taxes and deregulate make things positive for the business and the overall economy. >> i wonder if voters approve of the president himself making money out of his presidency. the coin for example making money there and selling product because he is the president, do you think voters approve of that. >> i don't think they care too much. i think there is so much big stuff going on there focused on that every two or three hours is another big story to focus on the great set of gaza be the small example who saw that coming before the press conference i think things like this is selling coin or trinkets or whatever i wouldn't get to focus on that is up to 54% popularity according to the polls citing maybe even 60% he's never been as popular as he is today. he's overseas for a week. i gotta say trump is the talk of the world. i was in latin america, i don't speak spanish but the word

a lot of people scoffed at jeff bezos and amazon and what apple and steve jobs are doing.im: those companies had big valuations in the part of the cycle, but what everybody forgets about amazon is the 90% plus declines they have had in 2003, 2007, 2008. for me to tell investors that is fine -- and when you are down 95%, only if you are still adding to the position. number two, we forget about america online, yahoo!, s&p. romaine: i still remember to this day. but enron, worldcom -- how am i supposed to believe that all of these companies trying to sell their ai product and giving numbers to what they are selling are on the up and up, particularly because we do not have a jim chanos out there rattling the cages? jim: i am still rattling occasionally, romaine. but you underscore an important part of the fundamental role short-sellers play, whether fund managers or activists. they are still the only ones incentivized in real time, other than journalists, the point this stuff out. scarlet: as we wrap up our conversation, if investors are less sensitive to valuations, and that

had to sit outside in a secondary room behind the president was elon musk, mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos got out oversight over these guys especially when they have the keys to the entire government. >> was the conversation in the democratic caucus? is a robust discussion over how to play the next couple of years, this is jared coleman who said i don't think it's effective so far. i'm frustrated. if you make everything five, then eventually nothing is devcon five. if you rush out and say this is like dictatorial or illegal, he might end up being wrong and it undermines your credibility, you think democrats risk saying this is the end of the world when at times it's not? >> i think it is time to pick and choose our battles. part of the presidents method here and strategy is to plug them with a ton of stuff. i was making canada the 50 presidents state, there's a lot of things we don't need to respond to because number one, they are not going to happen for number two, the president is doing work to make sure people think he's king and can do whatever he wants so wanting to know you don't pl

it is like in this country suddenly jeff bezos disappearing and being quiet. he is not quiet these days, but just disappearing these people. i think we will put steve jobs in the cooler for a while. that happens in china. larry: the governor of south carolina disappeared. kara: right. [laughter] kara: so that is one of the issues. the other one is that, mark, absolutely, in an interview with me, he put out this xi ora media argument. we are the national champions. the chinese have run it. which is true. he said that to me and i go, i don't like the choice. i will take you up easily but it is like a bad date. i have to take the bad or worse. in the case of facebook, they are. they are information thieves. that is what they are. it is in a different interest from what is happening in china. i am concerned that we allow a foreign government -- the could not by cnn, cbs, the washington post, or anything else, so why should they be able to have -- larry: started showing cats playing the piano, i would be concerned the chinese government would be interested in buyin

>> well, of course we've seen that, and we saw that with the beta that -- way that folks like jeff bezos zuckerberg and others lined up in the pews to worship at the church of donald trump on inauguration day. i have a hope that corporate america can be a bull with work against extremism. -- bulwark against extremism. that is not proving to be the case. i will say that i don't think -- i think a lot of these pieces of litigation and these efforts by the trump world are very inappropriate and chilling and frightening. i don't think a we can take as much as we might want to take from from news of these settlements, because litigation is very expensive. it brings about discovery. and so, to me, i'm unhappy that abc decided to strike that settlement deal with trump. i'm unhappy that meta decided to do this. but in the case of a company like meta, it is a multibillion dollar company, and avoiding litigation by paying out $25 million, i don't like it, but we have to be clear about what conclusions we can draw from that move. howard: yeah. it is true that the mere filing of a lawsuit is very ex

persecute president trump sit in front of him and that man looked all of them, just like soccer break and bezos that are now surrounding us and helping the cause. he said one thing. if america could only get the left and the right to sit down and work together, we would be so strong we could do more than i can do by myself. and that is his message and i think when you see these people come in, i think they are getting at. we want to be strong, we want our economy to be strong and we want to be safe and people get behind that, they cannot get behind the radical stuff. >> laura: and we saw he wants to work with everybody in the cities and beyond. i can't believe he didn't give us any scoop from zuckerberg, come on girl! that's our we have you wanted. nothing for me? all right, thank you so much, great to see you as always. that is at rest tonight as always, make sure to follow us on social media and of course on twitter and instagram and thank you for watching. it is america now and forever, it is only getting better. jesse watters takes it from here. ♪ ♪ >> jesse: welcome to "jesse watters prime

bezos is worth $249 billion. with combined wealth of $903 billion, these three people own more wealth than the bottom half of american society, 170 million americans. and not surprisingly, since trump was elected, their wealth has soared. musk has become $138 billion richer. zuckerberg has become $49 billion richer and bezos has become $28 billion richer. since election day in november. meanwhile, mr. president, while the very rich become much richer, 60% of americans live paycheck to it paycheck. 85 million americans are uninsured or underinsured in terms of health care. 25% of our seniors in this country are trying to survive on $15,000 a year or less. 800,000 americans are homeless. and we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any major country on earth. and real inflation adjusted wages for the average american worker has not gone up in 50 years. does anyone really think that the oligarchs give a damn about ordinary americans? trust me, they don't. musk's decision to dismember usaid means that

gates and bezos. but it's jobs who brought us into the era of friendly computers and smartphones and a thousand songs in our pocket and everything else. there's jennifer dowdna of the code breaker, my last book, that figured out with her team and her colleagues how to make a tool that will edit our genes. which means you can design your babies. that's a big deal. and thirdly, musk is somebody up there changing the way we live. jobs and musk both had an absolute passion. i think jobs had a more spiritual feel for both beauty and the design of products and a definite deep spiritual feel for connecting with human emotions. he says, we know how to make people's hearts sing. i don't think elon has that feel for human emotionless. michael: who would you like to write a big biography next, what female? walter: i'd say we're off the record except i see c-span here. [laughter] michael: it's a kind of for instance question. walter: i'm telling you something i'm chewing on but don't tell priscilla, our mutual ed

and you have people like mark zuckerberg coming over, jeff bezos.ere at the inauguration. silicon valley has been seen to team up with donald trump as a well, and i think that's a great thing. larry: yes. and, of course, none of that was there four years ago or eight years ago. your father has, your father-in-law if has changed the gop, and i reckon he's going to keep it change changed. i just thought elon musk, who's not really a political guy even though he's become a very political figure, taking some heat, but elon musk is important to this story. it's important to thislation bigs. -- coalition. it's important to attracting the kind of people you just mentioned. >> yeah. and not only that, but people who are working on behalf of the country. the are those people because of elon musk the best and the brightest, the team he has at doge, look, our country could not exist as we have been going with the debt, with the amount of money that we're spending on these wasteful causes and things that don't even apply to americans. we can't go on like that.

like, elon musk, no one talks about biden and harris embracing george soros and bill gates and jeff bezos. host: what about -- he's got a trifecta. why not go to congress with some of these things? why depend on an executive order that can be reversed by the next president? guest: we agree. but we know president trump. president trump feels that coress does not move fast enough for him. it would be better for him to wait two or three months. his attitude is that the american people cannot afford to wait two or three months and why put something in place at three or four years later, another administration can come in if there is a new congress? i agree with you but donald trump does not like any president that we have seen in reit -- he's not like any president has seen in recent memory. we have not seen such a frenetic way of so many executive orders because he wants to change it and he also knows he has more experience that a lot of these things that he's pushing will probably go through and become effective and once that happens, people really begin to believe that it's having an impac

involved in irs contractor who illegally leaked the tax returns of president trump, elon musk and jeff bezos to the delight of many on the other side of the aisle. that person, fortunately, though, is now in jail which proves the point that we have laws in place to take care of this. this is a thinly veiled attempt to prevent doge from doing the constructive job of finding waste. this is an amendment that says it's okay to spend $2 million in guatemala on sex-change surgery, this around amendment that says look the other way, transgender comic books in peru is gate. this is an amendment that says it's okay to do transoperations in colombia. this is to spend money -- this is not on crazy, loony, left-wing ideas. i am done. mr. coons: how much time do i have remaining? the presiding officer: all time is expired. mr. coons. i will accept a voice vote. the presiding officer: all in favor say aye. the nos appear to have it. the nos do have it. the amendment is not agreed to. mr. thune: mr. president. the presiding officer: majority leader. mr. thune: i ask unanimous consent that the following ame
