you know that one of the things that really it really bothers me is that i sense when you mention tocqueville i see a return to serfdom because and this is when it's in the because we have this professional manager ariel klaus that has no use of the plaids from working people and this resent this must be procession shows that they're getting richer and more powerful and the poor are getting more and they don't care that's why there wasn't a stimulus and i'm blaming both parties and the president on that last 20 seconds go to you have. you know are just are are you reminded me of something sartre said late in his life in the interview if you don't understand the world in terms of class warfare you don't understand the world the democratic party had abandoned the 'd american war in may and a long long time ago or were were were a universal way from the from the thirty's and f.d.r. right right in this invoking f.d.r. what nonsense. we. will have to wait and see what the significance of this email thing with the hunters messages and so forth right is that anything is inconvenient drop the russian

the time for tocqueville he has passed, it's time for congress to legislate, take away the special immunityese tech companies get for this censorship. >> tucker: this is not relevant but when you interview these people, do you ever think maybe it's bad for kids to become billionaires? maybe it does something bad to you? is it healthy to live in a society were a tiny group of completely out of touch crazy people havee power over the rest of us can say? >> if you want to know what it's like to live in an aristocracy, open your eyes -- this is at. one, tiny group of what jack dorsey's case really weird people can control what we are allowed to say and who is allowed to report on what, it's absolutely ludicrous. it really isel modern day aristocracy which is why congress has to act and do it now. >> tucker: do think that tech barons who testified in the senate were intimidated at all, did they see it as political theater, they are laughing on their business jets back to san francisco, what do you think they thought? >> i don't think they are intimidated, this was a hearing supposedly on the sec

investors snag a bargain here let's bring in the trading nation team, mark newton and john petrides of tocqueville management john, your thoughts, breaking up a 109-year-old company, good or bad idea >> i think you're see in reactions is not only better expectations from ibm but investors hoping this is the new ceos moment for microsoft. remember when nardella took over steve baumer, the stock had a revision and hasn't looked back. here you see a commitment to the cloud, going into faster top line growth, which has been plaguing the company for what feels like an eternity now for our enhanced income strategy, we're buying ibm where you're getting a 5% yield. technical has been such a massive performer here to date it's hard to find value. investors have been waiting on the sideline for ibm in my opinion because they've been waiting for the show-me story, post the acquisition and this in my opinion is a good sign the stock is moving in the right direction. >> it's been an underperformer over the past two to three years now. >> i agree it's human nature to try to buy low and sell heigigh. the stock
