>> so we know, you know, jeff clark who's been an official of the justice department he was introducedthe president at some point by representative scott perry of pennsylvania. we do not know when this happened, we just know that he clicked with the president in part because he to felt like it was probable that the results of the election were not true, even though his own colleagues had investigated lots of different fraud claims and conspiracy theories and themselves had investigated and found them to be untrue. clark still believe them, soak in the president had a committees, so when trump is saying this to the justice department officials, what he's not telling them is that he's already been speaking with jeff clark. he's already been talking to jeff clark about with the justice department can do for him, and what the two officials don't know is that just a week later they're going to be back in the oval office fighting for their jobs with jeff clark in the room as the president decides whether or not to fire them all. one of the things that donahue does say to the president on thi

trump said people tell me jeff clark is great. i should put him in. referring to the acting chief of the justice department's civil division, who had also encouraged department officials to intervene in the election. people want me to replace doj leadership. what was that comment about? >> so, we know that, you know, jeff clark, who had been an official at the justice department. he was introduced to the president, at some point, by representative scott perry of pennsylvania. we do not know when this happened. we just know that clark really clicked with the president. in part, because he, too, felt that it was probable that the results of the election were not -- were not true. even though his own colleagues at the justice department had investigated, you know, lots of different fraud claims and conspiracy theories. and, themselves, had investigated and found them to be untrue. clark, still, believed him. so, he and the president had a comity. and so, when trump is saying this to justice-department officials, the acting-attorney general jeff rosen, hi

"people tell me jeff clark is great. i should put him in. people want me to replace d.o.j.rship." how egregious is what we're learning about what is in these notes? >> the american people deserve to know and they ought to be angry, infuriated that the president of the united states tried to overthrow an election by using the department of justice, the very agency that is responsible for enforcing the law. >> reporter: according to the notes, the acting a.g. pushed back, saying, "the d.o.j. can't and won't snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election." the revelations about mr. trump's pressure campaign come as the house committee investigating the january 6 attack is preparing to call new witnesses, possibly some from the trump administration. will there be dozens of subpoenas? >> there will be quite a few. >> reporter: and tonight, democrats here in the capitol may be one step closer to getting their hands on former president trump's tax returns. that's because the department of justice has just ordered the i.r.s. to hand them over to the house ways and means co

he also fought and survived a coup attempt by a trump sycophant named jeff clark who was part of an effortd that could have been a key moment. by surviving that coup attempt, that may have saved our democracy. in the end, if you look back on this wolf and say, if only the former administration's competence had matched their nefariousness, we would be in a lot more trouble. >> yeah. it is interesting, elliot, to see these contemporaneous notes. just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the r, the republican congressmen. it is no wonder that some gop members are worried about what is going to emerge over these january 6th investigation. >> wolf, i think it is important that you said the word contemporaneous because in the law it notes at the moment something is happening can often make it into court. obviously this isn't a trial but because they're inherently reliable. this is what he heard at that moment. anything anyone has any doubt that the president said it. and certainly this should all come out and be made available to the january 6th committee to help the america

in the end, amazon did cooperate a couple interviews like andy and jeff and clark, ceo of the consumeriness after he retired. bezos whatnot and mckenzie scott, as far as i can tell hasn't done one interview with vogue magazine years ago tied to a book launch but tends to be an intensely private prison who has avoided the media so far. >> maybe we can start with the first chapter of the book, there is a lot of great anecdotes about bezos role coming up with alexa and echo and i think a common thread is that bezos set the bar really high, he pushed to aim for almost irrational goals, i think one quote was serious about making its product so how important was bezos for coming up with this device that's arguing the most successful device amazon came up with? >> where probably going to talk about amazon as a potential monopolist, domine force in america so i don't mind in this is why i start the book this way giving amazon credit and jeff basis credit as an innovative company and bezos as an inventor and that's like how he describes himself, and inventor. when i dug into the history of alex

in the end amazon did cooperate with others like andy and jeff wilkie and david clarke who is now the ceo of the consumer business. he would not talk to me and mckenzie scott as far as i could tell has done one interview that titled the book launch. maybe we can start with the first chapter ofst the book. there's a lot of great anecdotes about the role in coming up with alexa and the echo. they pushed the team to aim for irrational goals. how important was this device that arguably was the most successful personal device? >> sure. we are probably going to talk about amazon as potential monopolists and as a dominating force in american business, so i don't mind and that's why i started the book up this way. that's how he likes to describe himself as an inventor. whent i dug into the history the story hadn't been told and essentially the idea screams right out of his mind in 2010 he sends a note to his technical assistance at the time, and he says why don't we build a computer whose brains are in the cloud that is completely controlled by your voice and that was a kind of radical notion

they authorized a couple of dozen interviews with top executives, like andy jassy and jeff wilke and dave clark who is now the ceo of consumer business after wilke retired. bezos would not talk to me. and mackenzie scott as far as i can tell has done one interview with "vogue" magazine years and years ago tied to a book launch but tends to be an intensely private person who has so far avoided the media spotlight >> so maybe we can start with the first chapter of the book, you know, i think there's a lot of great anecdotes about bezos' role in coming up with alexa and the echo, and i think the common thread is that bezos set the bar really high. he pushed the team to aim for almost irrational goals, right? i think one quote i remember is you guys aren't serious about making this product. >> [inaudible]. >> so how important was bezos for coming up with this device that, you know, arguably the most successful personal device that amazon came up with? >> sure. you know, we're probably going to talk about amazon as a potential monopolist, you know, as a dominating force in american business, so i do

to an end clark, it seems like he has a bit of a different recitation compared it to andy jassy or jeffilkie or universally liked or respected, clark has more of a track record of creating enemies along the way rated and he calls himself, the simple fire in your book. and some people i think some people calling steinberg for hiring good people but what is his reputation. will he work well read in this new role. brad: you look at his twitter history because he's the unusual amazon ceo who will get up and start cutting those with people. if this ongoing thing about fred smith the ceo of fedex, to try to him. and tends to critique coverage of amazon. have you ever been the subject of a tweet from descartes. i'll start throwing elbows. any sort of like maybe even refreshingly how to combat it because executives will probably just, sat there quietly. he says what he believes. the reputation and i talked to a ton of time operation folks and putting together my portrait. and nina people that felt discarded or trampled upon, is t his bedside manner was not good which is quite a number of people

, they are known as executors, if clark -- dave clark more on the supply chain logistics side. i do think jeffezos is on the innovation side. hopefully just in not having to deal with everyday issues that andy is going to have to deal with. emily: what are your expectations for the next five months, before the end of the year, as we move into the holiday season and typically a big holiday season for amazon under jeff bezos as executive chair? what are you watching? >> i think one thing we are all watching is the looming capacity crunch. they've already said they're going to be short 5 million, 5 million packages a day. that's going to be a huge constraint which it is great that dave clark is there to focus on the logistics. i think we are going to see a big crunch with supply chain and capacity. i do think competition has never been greater than before. there big huge issues on delivery time, grocery delivery, they went everything within 30 minutes. the times are getting greater. but i think that's going to be their main focus. emily: i noticed that too, and some things are just not in stock a

, they are known as executors, dave clark, consumer retail ceo, more of the supply chain logistics side. i think jeff bezos will be involved on the innovation side, hopefully not having to deal with everyday issues and he is going to have to deal with. emily: what are your expectations for the next five months as we move into the holiday season, typically a big holiday season for amazon, under a new leader, jeff bezos as executive chair, what are you watching? melissa: one thing we are all watching is the looming capacity crunch. they say they are going to be short, overcapacity five lien packages a day. it is great dave clark is there to focus on supply-chain and logistics. we are going to see a big crunch with supply chain and capacity. and i think competition has never been greater than before. there is a huge battleground on delivery time and grocery delivery, delivering things within 30 minutes. i noticed delivery time and shipping speeds of amazon seem to be getting greater, so i think that is going to be another focus. emily: some things ar not in stock anymore, and i am always asking why. mel

their new job so will they each gave each other room to run well jeff bezos give the new guy room to be the ceo? and then with dave clarknow the boss of his former peers. like harrington or any of the other executives like advertising and the alexa business one of the peers is now their boston that is an uncomfortable dynamic as well. >> i think we should spend some time talking about donald trump. clearly a big piece of the amazon narrative the last for five years. a mutual animosity between jeff bezos and trump and you get it more into it in the book. was it a good thing? or was it jeff bezos fault did he lose anything for not fostering a better relationship with trump? what is your assessment? >> those are good questions. when i finish the book i thought that maybe jeff bezos , he got off on the wrong foot. i have the's e-mails the end of 2015, trump is campaigning to be president taking shots at everyone and jeff bezos enters the fray with an e-mail that basically puts donald on his face. we are saving you a seat on the virgin rocket other pr executives were asking jeff not to send those e-mails and he insisted. i d

after leaving, clark returned to chicago to become a jazz singer and a writer. she started a family with her husband jeffed their 44th anniversary two days before her passing. clark volunteered in chicago for many years. and in 2004 fulfilled a promise she made to her mother when she left for the circus, earning her college degree at the university of illinois at chicago. alice clark brown, an american pioneer flying through the air died last month at home in oak park, illinois. park, illinois. she was 68 park, illinois. she was 68 this is dr. arnold t. petsworth. he's the owner of petsworth vetworld, a veterinary clinic in hoppton, connecticut. his patients include: dog, cat, frog, fish, goldie, dog... and this alpaca. due to doctor-patient confidentiality, we can't tell you their names. business at vetworld was steady, and then quarantine hit; neighbors brought new four- legged friends into their homes: bunnies. bunnies everywhere. dr. petsworth welcomed these new patients with open arms. the only problem? there were more appointments than he could manage. that's when dr. petsworth turned to his americ

jeff bezos has moved into the executive chair role. they have dave clark focusing on logistics. there are continuing labor concerns. with the delta variant constantly evolving, that is something amazon is thinking about. we spoke to an analyst on our show who worked at amazon for many years herself. she said the ceo is focusing on profit more than jeff bezos was. she is expecting profit to get better where we will see sales and revenue slowing down. that is how they ran aws. it is an increasingly bigger piece of the pie. perhaps we will see a different kind of balance sheet with jassy at the helm. haidi: how is amazon right now investing for its future? emily: the company is continuing to invest in aws, even though jassy is not the ceo anymore. they brought in another guy who was at aws before. he's now back running aws. they will continue trying to grow that business. the cloud business is only getting bigger. amazon will only have a bigger piece of the pie. the competitors are microsoft and google. in a way, it is not a zero-sum game. the opportunity is only getting bigger. we
