kellyanne conway and sba. argument that you really can't listen to what the president says on twitter because it's not relevant. >> that's an extraordinary statement for anyone at the white house to make, don't trust the president and what he says in tweets. that's bizarre to me. i defer to her husband who tweeted today and said that the president's tweets are really undermining the case in the courts including the u.s. supreme court. i'm not going to predict the outcome at all. that's something for the courts to decide. but i do think it's an extraordinary thing that's happened today. >> argument too that's been made by gore cais that you can't call ate muslim travel ban because the ban does not include the world's most pop list muslim countries such as egypt. if you don't ban all the muslim from all the muslim countries that you can't say it's a muslim ban. >> that's a terrible, terrible argument. if i'm an employer and i have ten african-american employees and i fire one and say i'm firing you because you'r

for example, we have a longstanding government entity called the small business administration, the sba. here's the idea: in the united d states-- it's been going on for decades-- small business complained that there wasn't a level playing field. when they competed with big businesses, they had disadvantages. and they wanted to have a better shot at succeeding as a smamall business,s, so they wanted the government to set aside money and support to help small businesses--not available to big ones--to help them compete more success... and we have that. the small business administration gives grants, makes loans at a subsidized rate to help small-- the idea being, america's better off if it has more small businenesses than would otherwie be the case. we do the same thing with minority-owned businesses for the obvious reason. here's a thought: a worker's self-directed business administration. why? because the american government would like to see these kinds of enterprises develop and grow. and why that? here's a democratic thought for you: if the government supported that, helped to develo
