gerry: does not remind you of anyone?want you to listen to me i'm going to say this again, i did not have sexual relations with that woman. gerry: cuomo's misdirection was worse than clinton's and his long rambling statement this week his behavior was designed to help victims of sexual assault, displaying photos of him kissing different people, he explained it was his way of being friendly. >> i've been making the same gesture and public all my life. i actually learned from my mother and for my father. gerry: it's not his fault at all it's his parents fault, his mother who should be impeached, not the poor governor in speaking a family we also learn from the investigation that his brother chris who you know is a prime time cnn anchor drafted cuomo's initial responses to the allegations, he should definitely be impeached for the, nobody's buying with cuomo's are selling within hours every democrat who can get your a microphone called on the governor to resign. >> as we said before the reported actions of the governor were

gerry: a final question on taiwan do you really think the u.s.o to war with china to defend taiwan's independence? >> militarily prepared, probably not. >> to think the american people would be willing to go to war with china over taiwan. >> is a good question but if we remember what happened with imperial japan when the uses same strategy to advance from the first island which taiwan is a centerpiece in the second island to projected power we know what will happen, the c line in the south china sea are some of the most critical in the world and that's why we projectile the way that we do it goes back centuries to protect the economic prosperity and nobody wants war but we get war women get weakness and that's what i'm afraid with joe biden. gerry: another fascinating conversation thank you for joining us coming up simone biles withdraws the tokyo lipid games criticism and praise this week, my thoughts on why both responses are completely unjustified. that is next. >> i thought it was best if you took over into the rest of the job they are medali

gerry: is a classic case of misdirection like the three card trick. when these companies are allowed to get away with all kinds of abuses, there's all those people that say what's wrong with companies that are run into have responsibilities and wider responsibilities in the world and their employees have responsibilities and what's wrong with companies taking those into account in pursuing these objectives, a lot of customers like their employees particular in customers like these companies to do these things, they're pressing these companies like ben & jerry's or whatever and refusing to sell ice cream in israel and occupied territory, the employees like that and the customers like that, great, what's wrong with that. >> woke capitalism isn't one thing, it's three things, the each different from one another, first you have the woke executive who is using his or her authority in the corporation to use shareholder resources to burnish his or her brand by pushing their values, they are the victim of the shareholder, that is different than now the what w

gerry: i'm back with vivek ramaswamy talking about his new book woke inc. justice. i started economic and you went to business school you founded your own company, it's pretty clear what companies are supposed to do, you had owners of companies and managers of companies and they were accountable to the owners and everything from adam smith in the success of capitalism, it is the pursuit of profit in apprising opportunities, that is the way in which companies grow it's a capitalism that is lifted billions of people literally out of poverty around the world, how do we go from companies doing what they do very, very well between profit like the situation we have today and it's their obligation of their right to weigh in on every single political issue. >> i love capitalism but i also learned to be wary of the fact when i got my first job in the fall of 2007 before the 2008 financial crisis weary of capitalism when he gets in your mingle with politics after did the 2008 crisis. that's when the story began, after the way crisis corporations are the eyes of most

[car alarm chirps] >> just hearing from some of the other team members about the place, i think the biggest thing is there is no leader. >> no. >> no? when i was called to come here, i think they assumed that i would just come in and just write a check. >> yeah. [laughs] >> and the reality of it is, is that i am not convinced yet. >> are you the grim reaper, or--[laughs] >> me? >> yeah. >> sometimes. i don't really know where the leadership is. i don't know who the owners really are. >> if there's changes to be made and sacrifice to be made, we're willing. >> o

a favorite word for elbridge gerry is rumble terion kind of an ornery drop -- ornery guy. he was the intellectual mainspring in many ways of the early revolution. eldridge jerry believed in republicanism. its service to country over self and he had the abstract concept that really makes the reality but he also takes one of the largest fleets in the colonies which he and his family own and converts them. as i mentioned earlier the two of them necessary and was gunpowder. all of the major operations that the british were conducting in the early part of the war would take an disarm disarm americans and take our vital supply of gunpowder. without gunpowder no revolution can be foughtbu but it's gehry that comes up with the concept to one of the first in writing to talk about foreign alliances and other mark -- marbleheaders forged their alliance and it's through his contacts that have gone on for o 20 or 30 years tht he forgesla a relationship and they bring in the powder. he's also future vice president in the future congressman. gerrymandering is named after him. all of thes
