that was david reid in india.oy from full facts, an independent fact checking charity here in the uk. and, will, you have started working with facebook to fact check their articles recently, haven't you? that's right, they came to us last year, we spent a few months talking about how that would work, how we would maintain our independence. when we talk about democratic votes like the one going on in india right now, i can see a future where whoever loses the election will now be able to blame fake news as much as maybe more than anything else. is that the future we are destined for? it is the past we have already lived in. people have always complained that the election was rigged and it wasn't fair for one reason or another, the newspapers are biased, whatever it might be. there has always been those complaints. what's true now that didn't used to be true, is that a small group of people who control communications to millions of other people, that their opponents can't see. so with targeted online advertising now

of bloomberg opinion and joy reid, host of "a.m. joy," and david cornyn. thank you for joining us. what do you make of the president out saying it's illegitimate for the government to carry out the law? that sounds to be a contradiction in temples. >> the law is totally unambiguous. it says that, upon request, the irs shall furnish those tax returns. it doesn't say may furnish. it says shall furnish. in fact, in every 6103 request that has been made, those returns have been provided. never has a return been denied. this is over the nearly 100 years of the existence of this law. so if the president doesn't provide it, it would break precedent and it would actually break the law. >> tim, it seems to me that this president will take all kinds of heat for not disclosing his tax returns. you will have people imagine he is covering up crimes or that he's not as rich as he said or he doesn't pay taxes. kinds conclusions that reasonable people, not just people on the left, will think he is hiding. why is he willing to pay that price? is it so horrible that he will do anything to keep the s

david: you went back to dillon reid for a while, and then you decided that the high point of your lifee if you want into private equity. as many people know, you joined carlyle and were there for eight years. so is there any doubt that private equity is the highest calling of mankind? [laughter] jay: so, let me say, i -- somehow, that was the path that made sense to me along the way. it did lead me to private equity. it was a great way to make a living. i really enjoyed my time there. david: when you left carlyle, you did something very interesting, and this brought you to the attention of president obama. why don't you explain this to the people? jay: i went to work on fiscal policy and i was there for two great years. i saw the debt ceiling crisis coming. and i wrote this big study that showed pretty much what would happen with some precision, if the debt ceiling weren't raised. you can actually look at what bills are due on what day with the federal government, the daily treasury cash statement, and i started briefing people on this. and it really went viral. that went viral. and i
