david cicilline, mcchrystal is joining me to talk >>> new today, u.s.jets on full display as tensions escalate between china and taiwan, so the u.s. made f-16s fly over a rare, you see them, u.s. made f-16s over a rare military parade, part of taiwan's reaction to reunienication. tensions escalated when china flew 150 military planes into taiwan's air space that happened over about four days. the countries have been separated since a 1949 civil war, but yesterday, chinese president xi jinping once again insisted reunification must and will be realized adding he will not tolerate outside interference, but here's what senator ben cardin told me yesterday. >> we should not trust the leader of china and what they say they're going to do. we have to protect not only taiwan's ability and security but also the free commerce and the china seas against chinese aggression. the best way to make sure that china does not use its military against taiwan is for america's presence to be there. >> joining me right now is retired army general stanley mcchrystal who had a

joining me now to discuss what they found, democratic congressman david cicilline and republican congressmanboth signed the letter sent to amazon. congressmen, thanks for taking the time this morning. >> my pleasure. >> congressman, so folks at home understand, this is remarkable if true that if amazon copied sellers' products, made their own and prioritized those products in the search on their app, is that basically how this worked? >> it is. and since they have a monopoly in terms of the e-commerce platform, they have this huge advantage. also there are reports that they have even gone to their customers and suggested that they would invest in the product if they got more information, they got more information about how the product was made, and then made the decision to compete against those very products. part of what they do when someone wants to put a product on their platform is they ask them how a product is made and they ask them for proprietary information. then they go and compete against them. so it's really a situation where this monopoly is using every advantage to crush its c

. >>> joining us is democratic congressman david cicilline. companies like fullback and the committee has approved a package of six bipartisan bills trying to take on the tech companies. congr congressman, thanks for being here. what is your reaction to what zuckerberg had to say on this earnings call yesterday? >> well, look, i mean, fullback has demonstrated time and time again they cannot be trusted either to make the right decisions or speak honestly about their business practices. what has been revealed over the last couple of weeks is completely consistent with what we found in our investigation. facebook was designed to do exactly what it's doing, to maximize engagement, to drive up revenues by doing so, and that means the most provocative, most divisive, most hateful and dangerous speech is amplified. that's their business model. what we're seeing is it was designed to do exactly what it's doing. what we have to do is rein in big tech by giving real competition. if you don't like the practices of fullback, you have the ability to move

this is what david cicilline, a member of the house judiciary committee told me. he said, with enormous economic power very often comes enormous political power. and they are spending millions and millions of dollars flooding this town with lobbyists and campaign contributions, doing everything they can to stop the reforms. this is the reason that battles against monopolies are hard. so, look, we'll see what happens here. but i will say that proponents of reining in big tech feel like the tides have finally turned in their favor. >> we'll see. there is some bipartisan support, but i'm sure the lobbying machines are churning into action now. melanie zanona on the hill, donie o'sullivan, thank you very much. >>> president biden rejected the latest executive privilege claim by former president trump. this over documents that trump is trying to keep out of the hands of the january 6th select committee. >> cnn white house correspondent jeremy diamond joining us now. jeremy, this is after the former president had filed a lawsuit to stop the national archives from turnin

this is what david cicilline told me about this. quote, with enormous economic power very often comes enormous political power. and they are spending millions and millions of dollars, flooding this town with lobbyists and campaign contributions, doing everything they can to stop these reforms. this is the reason that battles against monopolies are hard. so we'll see what happens here. i will note that proponents of cracking down on big tech feel like momentum is finally on their side. >> we'll see if it is enough. thank you. >> joining us now, former democratic senator from minnesota and host of the "al franken podcast," the former senator on tour tour. long before the tour tour, you've been warning about facebook for years. >> yes. >> what do you see as the danger? >> you've pretty well articulated it coming up to me. it just has a prenicious effect, and it knows it does. every time they discover that, they make a choice. they make the wrong choice. their choice is profits versus acting responsibly. they do that over and over and o

. >> so, jon, representative david cicilline told reporters that president biden talked about how hisgs of lincoln and fdr hung up in the oval office with cicilline saying that a deeply divided country and the biggest economic transformation, which is the kind of moment that we're in right now, what do you think of that? >> well, you know, president biden was generous enough to ask me back during the transition what i thought should hang -- make recommendations for what should be in the oval office. and fdr is there over the mantel not least because the argument is that in 1933, democracy was in peril. there were authoritarian movements on the move around the world. there was a question about whether democratic capitalism would survive that decade. over his left shoulder as he sits there, you see hamilton and jefferson, and that's to remind people that we've been fighting like this from the very beginning. hamilton once said -- or jefferson said that he and hamilton were like two cocks in a pit in the first cabinet, always fighting. and washington and lincoln are on the other side. wa

i'm joined by david cicilline, a democrat from rhode island, he's been deeply involved with the issueation and congressman, to me the most fascinatings aspect of miss haugen's testimony is i think she's making the case -- and i'm curious if you conquer with her -- that there currently is not a government entity or agency that is prepared to regulate this industry with which facebook is the leader in? do you agree? >> look, thank you for having me, i think we learned from her testimony what we learned during the course of the investigation we conducted for 16 months, that facebook is a monopoly, it has monopoly power, too big and too powerful to care and it, in fact, puts profits over everything else. we have legislation we've already passed out of the judiciary committee in a bipartisan way to produce more competition, to restore competition in the digital marketplace. that's part of the solution to give people other choices than facebook. but in addition we have to, in fact, pass legislation that will make facebook accountable for amplifying toxic and dangerous content. they rely on

i feel like there are people like david cicilline in the house who really understand the issues.rstand issues. and, you know, i'm very hopeful that we'll see good leadership on that part. the real challenge -- and this is where i think your friend is exactly right -- is that this business model isn't just about selling us as a product. it's about using recommendation engines to manipulate our behavior. and that is what's so dangerous. those people who went and attacked the capitol on january 6th, they had been manipulated into believing that that would be viewed as a patriotic act. think about that. these are americans, and i can guarantee you two years earlier they would have never considered attacking the capitol to be a patriotic act. that was manipulation that occurred mostly on facebook. and the things we have to do -- this is the thing you say the government the last 20 years would not have been able to handle it. but this is a new challenge and we're america. it's like a war. there was a person at "the atlantic" who wrote a thing saying we should view facebook and companie

amy klobuchar, ken bach, david cicilline, and even richard blumenthal understands.is just a silly thing. this trope that congress can't legislate. richard blumenthal is not a car expert and can regulate, or a finance expert. everybody can be regulated. we need smart legislation to try to rein in some of this because clearly facebook is not going to do it, and they're going to get defensive, which is what they're doing. >> facebook has done something the rest of us have been wondering how do you do it, how do you unite both parties in washington? facebook has done it. care are swisher, jeff horowitz, thank you both. >>> when we come back, how climate change has dangerously lowered water levels in the west and how it's already changing people's lives. that's next. ♪ 'cause it's the only thing i wanna do. ♪ turns out everyone does sound better in the shower. and it turns out the general is a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for nearly 60 years. ♪ 'cause it's the only thing i wanna do ♪ shaq: (singing in background) can't unhear that. for a grea
