taylor: do you agree jeff bezos -- do you agree this is in jeff bezos' interest?t is why companies like amazon have decided to speak up about this a little more, just the pressure something is going to be done, they might as well have a seat at the table. i think that is why you have seen from amazon in the last year a position of know, we don't really want to talk about this because the technology is fine and i'm not really interested in further conversations to a blog post outlining where they would stand and these potential discussions about potential regulation and being a party to those talks. taylor: why are critics and aclu -- what are critics and aclu, in particular, saying in response? matt: a lot of critics want a broader pause and reevaluation of this. they say we should slow down. the stuff should not be available in such wide circulation when we are not pinking through the impact. they bring up the case of surveillance being used to hurt marginalized groups, and i think they push more for a total pause on this in the way that purveyors of this tech wo

why does bill gates or jeff bezos or mark zuckerberg need $1,000 a month? >> one of the reasons jeff bezos $1,000 a month givi is that, if we pay for it by having tax on amazon, which is my plan, then jeff's going toen up paying hundreds of millions or billions into the system. and then, if we try and give him ,000 a month to remind him he's an american, that'sn probably a win. it's immaterial to us whether jeff takes or doesn't take the $1,000 a month. >> you've proposed paying for it by a vat. >> yes. >> a value added tax, which is very comn in europe and other countries, but it's a consumption tax.ue and one of theions you get is that it's people at the lower end of theconomic spectrum who end up paying more. i mean, the hit against it is thatt's a regressive tax. so, how do you account for that? >> tre are a few things. there's a saying, like, "why did you rob the bank?" "'cause that's where the money was.wh soe is the money today? the money is all in the amazons and googles and facebooks and ubers of the world, like, these billion- and trillion-dollar

but ultimately what i think jeff bezos and amazon are doing here is just trying to improve a product that they have and give users one more way to be involved in the political process. i would say another big item coming out of amazon today is jeff bezos also announcing that his company, amazon, is going to reach the paris agreement climate accord ten years ahead of schedule despite the fact that president trump pulled the united states out of that deal last year. so there's a lot of tech news happening in washington today. i think what's interesting, like anna said, the nature of the relationship between washington and silicon valley is sort of changing. you're seeing these tech leaders step up and take a more active role in trying to get ahead of some of the changes that are coming, that they're aware of in terms of regulation and other issues. >> dylan byers, anna palmer, thank you. >>> emergency rescue crews are working right now to get people out of harm's way in the houston area as it faces flash flooding. a number of tornadoes have reportedly touched down as well. all of this
