the richest on the planet just adds more spice to the drama. welcome. i m neil cavuto. fox on top of a barrelling down on the most successful companies on earth. that they have essentially gotten too big for their britches. hillary vaughn on what they re talking about on capitol hill. hi, hillary. hi, neil. it s a blockbuster day on capitol hill preparing for a battle royale between a bevy of bipartisan lawmakers and big tech. it s rare for conservatives and progressives to find common ground on anything. but today they might have found it with five bills expected to debut in the house targeting amazon, facebook, google. they would transform how each company does business. progressive congressman woman jaypal and lance gooden joining forces on one bill that would end monopolies. this targeted at companies like
amazon, the bill would break up the company by making it i lless for amazon to own a platform and then offer their own goods and services on it so they don t get an extra advantage competing side by side with other sellers. congressman gooden tells us this. this legislation breaks up big tech s monopoly power to control what americans see and say online and foster as online market that encourages innovation and provides american small businesses with a fair playing field. doing nothing is not an option. we must act now. another bill would force online platforms to create an interface that lets people move their data to other services levelling the play-field for like parlor. a different bill would raise the filing fees so the ftc and the doj have enough money to enforce antitrust laws against these massive companies. but neil, this may be too good to be true. because a republican top aide
contribute to ukraine. they re not doing it, just the united states. we re putting up the bulk of the money. i m asking why is that. i m wondering if the first lady was thinking, hmm, that wasn t your complaint yesterday when you said you were holding it back because it s corrupt, now he says he s holding it back until europe puts it in. would you keep money out as a way of incentivizing someone else in a way you say matters? or would you put money in to that effect? logic may not be the best part of the case. politics and numbers will be. republican congressman lance goodin is here. welcome back to primetime. as you ve probably heard me say many times, congressman, i just don t see the reality in the senate. i don t even know if there s going to be a trial. i ll explain that to the audience later. let s put the pragmatism aside and let me ask you about this. the fundamental question of did the question put pressure on ukraine to look at biden and if
administration, remember this president has never shown much interest in any of these scandals among his own picks and his own administration. congress felt the same way and started investigating. september 9th that was. three days later, the money gets released to you ve crane. wh ukraine. what a coincidence. we need to know what was said and why because none of the presidents and his lash-out-prone lawyers excuses seem to make sense. the president question is did t president subvert the will of congress in order to pressure an al lie to dig up dirt on a political opponent. if the answer is yes, that could provide a lot of fuel to the flames of potential impeachment. we re going to bring in someone trying to end what he calls all of that, a witch hunt, one of his backers in congress. lance gooden. he says he s fed up and that the person to move on is chairman
