overnight, a setback as jeff bezos takes on elon musk in the modern space race. blue origin, the space tech company founded by jeff bezos, delaying the launch of new glenn, set to be the first rocket from the company to reach orbit, the reusable rocket marks the first major competitor to elon musk's spacex falcon nine, which has been launching payloads for more than a decade. new glenn is larger than the falcon nine and packs twice the power. >> we can take 45 metric tons to leo orbit. it really changes what people are going to think about how and what they can bring to space. >> blue origin has made some notable launches in the past, sending nearly 50 people into space aboard their new shepard rocket, including our michael strahan. oh, my. yeah. at the same height as a 32 story building, new glenn could fit the new shepard rocket inside its cargo hold. and yet, it's still not as large as spacex starship rocket. bezos is also challenging musk on other fronts, with plans to launch a constellation of internet satellites to take on spacex's starlink internet service

jeff bezos hasn't indicated any interest in selling it but i wanted to raise the idea.ation he intends to sell but why the vision, why are you in the hunt? >> i started in the mailroom at the washington post when i was in college at georgetown university. that was my first job. i started covering the internet there. i went on to work at the new york times and the wall street journal and i went on to do many things including a famous cat conference. i've been watching what has been happening there for some time. i was quite heartened when the grams sold it to jeff bezos. he got it for a low amount of money. he was doing a very good job. just recently has business interests are not aligned with the post. everything he has done in the last year has been pretty questionable. not because necessarily it is maligned. bringing in maligned forces takes it to another level. i think his business interests are not in mine with the post. there is always some excuse. he didn't see it or read it but it doesn't matter. he is involving himself in a way that isn't working. geoff: on that

jeff bezos -- >> thinking about it. it. >> yes, i've been talking, i'm talking to a lot of people, 'cause i'm just disturbed by what's happening there. i'm sure other people are, too. the question is if he wants to sell it. he hasn't indicated any interest whatsoever, but i wanted to raise the idea, because i think it needs new leadership and new management. geoff: and right, i was going to say he's given no indication that he intends to sell. but what's the vision? why are you in the hunt? >> well, you know, i started off at the washington post in the news in the mailroom, excuse me, that's where i started my career when i was at college at georgetown university. and so that was my first job, and i worked there for many years. i started covering the internet there, which is my big area. i went on to work at the wall street journal and the new york times, and did a whole bunch of different things, including a very famous tech conference. that was pretty good. and so i've been watching what's happening at the post for a

but it was interesting to learn that mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos were going to be seated in a similare, just given their fraught history. of course, this comes as one both zuckerberg and bezos have given a million each to the inaugural fund. that's a big part of this. but also they have really been working over the last several weeks to smooth relationships with donald trump. we know that both of them have gone to mar-a-lago to meet with donald trump directly. they've also remained in close contact with donald trump's team, and they recognize really, that now that donald trump is going to be president yet again, they want to have a better relationship with that with him than they did during his first term. and so that's a key part of this. i think the question of, you know, what power and influence they have is still a question. it's unclear what mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos are going, you know, whether they're going to have this great relationship with donald trump moving forward. but i think this shows that they are very much well on their way to having that. musk, of course, is i

you've got jeff bezos, you've got elon musk, you've got mark zuckerberg. right. they are they are not just yeah, you know, we got to play ball. we want to do business with the president. that makes sense for their businesses. but think about what they care about artificial intelligence communications, government contracts obviously space exploration, the businesses that they are in require so much regulation and the influence they can have in the next four years is so enormous that these guys could end up with more zeros next to their names than you or i can count. so right now it's the american people that have to say, are my lawmakers making decisions for me? or these people think about the fact that facebook, in just a few months has a huge ftc trial coming up. is that going to happen? is it going to disappear? they have issues with foreign governments. could donald trump help them with that? we all need to collectively pay attention to that. rich people have always gone to inauguration. they have always spent their time trying to get direct lines into white h

almost never will they say jeff bezos, almost never will they say some tv star.ey will almost always say someone who has impacted them in some important way. very often those people are not famous, rich, they don't have daddy's money or their name on the side of a building. there are thousands of americans who shaped history and changed who the u.s. has become through their actions but for a variety of reasons their stories have not been recorded in those bold spots in the history textbooks. >> sharon mcmahon, sunday night, 8 p.m. eastern, q&a, listen on our free app, c-span now.

in her resignation letter, she takes the paper's owner to task, writing in part, quote, jeff bezos andn democracy. donald trump if trump has taken a tax on the press to an entirely new level, softening the ground for an erosion of robust press freedom, as the post reported, it is because he finds insufficient resistance. instead, owners whose outlets he targets quite literally rewarded him, end quote. but rather than resign and retreat, rubin is launching a new outlet focused on countering authoritarian threats. called the contrarian, its slogan not owned by anybody. jennifer rubin joins me now. she's the co-founder and editor in chief of the contrarian. she's also an msnbc political analyst. i've spoken to you a couple of times, jennifer, since this has happened, but we haven't spoken about this specifically. and the reason to speak about this specifically is the same reason we have maria ressa on our air. people have to see examples of what it looks like to hold the line. so tell me how you got here. >> well, i think it's been a long. >> time in coming. the washington post, as you kn

i think jeff bezos has done so. somebody who doesn't is you.ant to thank you for always being a patriot. your service, not only for our federal government, but you also continue to serve by testifying during the senate confirmation hearings dealing with pam bondi. you talked about you testified about the importance of the non weaponization of the doj. it didn't happen in the biden administration. it was not going to happen in a kamala harris administration. but we know that it's going to happen in a donald trump administration. your thoughts about pam bondi as the attorney general? >> so it was an interesting day for me because i was there with other witnesses, three witnesses who had worked with her for decades in florida when she was the district attorney and the state attorney general, and they worked on her or worked with her on, you know, criminal investigations and law enforcement. >> one sheriff, two prosecutors. and they really talked about how successful they were in working with her in doing things like shutting down the pill mills. t

the tech language to ceos and they understood people like jeff bezos and amazon in march we're going to facebook the same. >> just let us do our don't regulate is to make us have to fact check to make us have to do anything in terms of, you determining whether someone is is a real person or not. just let us make money. >> also in the capitol rotunda, the ceo of tiktok. the app came back online over the weekend after trump extended a federal ban. he has proposed the u.s. having a 50% stake in the company. under the deal, it's worth nothing. >> i do that. worth maybe a trillion dollars, a trillion, but it all comes down to tiktok's chinese parent company bytedance and the chinese government because the chinese government have rules that you cannot settle. i do at slide tiktok. >> i'm going into without their permission. and by does the same thing that i want to set big. >> the ceo of open ai sam altman was also spotted at the inauguration, but often tells me companies like that will be working to ensure trump doesn't push any harsh regulations on them. i'm sara stinson reporting back t

you're going to see elon musk, mark zuckerberg, jeff bezos, prime seats. that doesn't seem like the forgotten men and women that trump talked about last time. are you surprised to see them? >> i am not. they're there as supplicants. they're not there as oligarchs. jonathan, you know better than anybody because we chronicled this in detail. we had no power. donald trump was out. the political class and the political party and fox news turned against him. we're going to make him a nonperson. >> jonathan: he was banned from their platforms. >> for i think 18 months, but as soon as zuckerberg said, i'm invited and i'm going, the floodgates opened up and they were all there trying to be supplicant, and i think most of our people in our movement as president trump broke the oligarchs. he broke them, and they s surrend surrendered. there will be no con stranlts, no more checkings, and they created the oligarchs. they became oligarchs and flipped on him when surrendered and now they'll come to trump and say, i view this as sept 1945, missouri, and you have the imp

also by bezos, jeff bezos and mark zuckerberg.ddress from the oval office last night, president biden warned against the rise of an oligarchy and a, quote, dangerous concentration of power. >> americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. the free press is crumbling, editors are disappearing. social media is giving up on fact checking. the truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit. >> joining us now, nbc news senior white house correspondent garrett hake, washington post national editor phil rucker, former republican governor and presidential candidate john kasich, and former u.s. attorney harry litman. so welcome all. garrett. there was a real sort of overtone of the famous eisenhower in 1961. farewell address in the warning against the, you know, tech complex. talk about this speech because it sounded not just a listing of his accomplishments. it was more of a warning to the american people that you now have to be the guardians. >> yeah, that's rig

jeff bezos. >> you see what they are doing. >> they all went down to mar-a-lago >> yes. they got not just that, not just going to mar-a-lago but amazon just decided to do a very positive documentary today. it is an interesting choice. and then today mark zuckerberg, mma fan, he is a close trump supporter. i think they are all doing various things they can do to kiss up to trump. >> jeff bezos, blue origins, it is something that he cares a lot about. that was his post amazon plan. i know he is doing a lot with amazon and a.i. but obviously with musk, they are competitors in this. >> absolutely. >> and that has to be a big blow to that business. >> he wants to be part of it. people don't realize this, when jeff, his speech was on space. he loves space. and, so, he wants to be doing this. e lon is directly in his way. anything that elon musk wants to do others are saying how do i get a piece of there and that. tiktok what will happen to tiktok and things like that. trump will have a lot of sway over that. therefore they all want to get in there to do that you have to pay es

and keep in mind, this is coming as elon musk, mark zuckerberg and jeff bezos will not only be front row at the trump inauguration, but they are front row at mar-a-lago, too. >> i want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. this is a dangerous constant, and that's a dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people. the dangerous consequences if their abuse of power is left unchecked. today, an oligarchy is taking shape in america of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead. people should be able to make as much as they can, but pay play by the same rules, pay their fair share of taxes. >> reporter josh rogan is he right? >> well, of course he's right. but the part that he didn't mention is that both parties are participating in this oligarchy. there's gambling in the casino. the corruption didn't start with donald trump. he's just less bashful about it than most. but the fact is that president biden was president fo

elon musk obviously is not a surprise, but but jeff bezos as well. now shou chew is going to be there and not only coming there, they're bringing their money. i mean, they have donated so much money that people are planning the inauguration, don't really know what to do with all of the money that they have raised for this. >> yeah. i mean, some people have donated to the inaugural fund, even though they're not even getting tickets to the inaugural because they ran out of tickets. they ran out of tickets. right? i mean, there's clearly this kind of uneasy alliance that's developed around trump right now, really over the last couple of months, where, yes, we know that elon musk is welcome because he's donated so much. but, you know, i've done some reporting that there's all these kind of other people around elon who are at the table, and not everyone in trump world is thrilled they're there. like elon obviously has donated $250 million. he gets a seat at the table. but there are friends of musk who are suddenly, you know, sitting alongside senior trump
