hotshot and harper collins both posted, and yet, you have a bit of an irony here, because harper collins one of the better sport. they made it clear they would appoint simon & schuster. hush it did not make an actual bit, but their ceo actually said, i kind of wish they did. and yeah, we'd also like to have simon and schuster. so it's an instinct situation what they're saying is that they're not necessarily against the big five, being shrink to the big four. but they're saying, look penguin random house, was already number one. that's a special case. so in our case, it's a little different. >> just to review, before we closed down our conversation on this, this merger is specifically being challenged by advances, big advances to big name authors, correct? right -- >> right, this is the perspective that you're taking. my understanding is like it's sort of a waiver kind of issue, how are being compensated for your work. they are focusing on this particular part of the market. in fact, one of the defenses at random house, saying, look, you're just focusing on a small number of things here.

now,s this a harper collins book. it's independent. it's not affiliated be congress.iously while i'm inviting you to read the book and my piece on the coup, there are other ways. there's no monopoly or anything on the jan 6th report or the ways to get it. you can preorder now. we'll cover the report for you on "the beat" and our segments ondown, which we make available to everyone nightly for free. so order it or wait. now you know. i'm just excited to share all this with you. and there, i did. i guess i made it through this whole announcement without quoting any lyrics, which is weird. although to paraphrase rick ross, so much action you're going to want to look. printing paper, boy, i even wrote a book. fact check, they wrote the book. i'm writing a 10,000 word foreword, but you got to start somewhere. as for the committee, this public phase of the hearings, if first primetime hearing, do you remember when that was? would you guess half a year? it was just three months ago in june. and that's shaped the public understanding of what happened. it's been a busy couple

from harper collins for a book about being coming speaker. where and i said wait a minute, we just published. contract with america, which is his political vision. and now he's getting four million dollars and he hasn't even been sworn in that was to me offensive. it was also noted i should say by david streifel the publishing reporter for the washington post. and he picked up the fact why is new who hasn't even been sworn in yet already getting four million dollars. and the result was they said to nude it was said at the time. you're going to get royalties. i mean the house of representatives imposed this on him. you're going to get royalties, but you cannot take the four million dollars. i thought that set of present. apparently not. because right now if you look at the most recent people like adam schiff, who was the the head of the impeachment panel jamie raskin another major figure in the impeachment issues james comey. when he was in charge of the fbi, and these people got very substantial advances. on books based entirely on their expe

. >> i do think harper collins did back this book and back skin of color. well, when i became a doctor, one of the questions that kept coming up over and over from family and friends was i get hyperpigmentation, what do i do? but the vast majority of treatments available for hyperpigmentation could burn skin of color and lead to more hyperpigmentation. it didn't make any sense. and no one had really investigated it. so i was lucky. i had access to a laboratory. and so we started putting formulations together and conducting clinical trials specifically for skin of color. and from that, i took that information and i put it into skin revolution in order to democratize skin care. and it is also what pursued me -- which also helped me with creating our skin care line for skin of color with that information. >> so we talk about representation, how it matters. and so many different facets. but skin care is one of them. talk to us about the difference between skin of color and how it may need different tlc than other skin. >> absolutely. so first of all, we should
