isand bipartisan support to do something about it. weirdly though, kevin mccarthy is opposed to this antitrust legislation. how is that, how can that be? here is one potential explanation, kevin mccarthy with top outside advisors, jeff miller. who is jeff miller? a lobbyist for amazon and apple making a lot of money doing that. financial records say the web services paid for more than $400,000 in recent years. with amazon web services hosting the entire internet. if they don t like you for political reasons like they didn t like parler, they turn off the lights and shut you down and stop your business. they can do that and they have. apple, meanwhile, has paid the firm more than $600,000 from 2019-2021, and congressional sources say that miller has been calling offices on capitol hill and asking them to them not to support the antitrust bill. this is kevin mccarthy s closest advisor. are you shocked given mccarthy is doing what his corporate
other candidates did. especially for progressive candidates. they see michael bloomberg s money as the number one achilles heal that he has. also that means he can in some way buy ads and start to become competitive. now he is obviously very, very late. but i had someone to me it s not like michelle obama got into the area isand is going to completely shift what s happening. but remember president trump even though at that time he was the frontrunner, he skipped the debate and continued to still have momentum. and that s the message that i think people around bloomberg are saying that even though he s late he can probably still have a chance. let me put up the date. in the month of february less than 4% of all delegates are available. and with those four states. 3.9% of delegates are available. those are the four states he s going to skip. guess what happens in the month of march. 61% of all delegates are available. so if you were looking at it as
pushing for these security clearances for jared especially and ivanka, that john kelly, chief of staff, even wrote if down, wrote a memo about it, that trump was ordering this. ivanka trum of appeared on television, i think it was about ten disand that it was business as usual. what s your reaction to that sp. i can t speak to what ivanka know there is a question legally as to who grants and how clearances can be granted. the president can do this. so there s a reason to document that and memorialize it. but there s also the question of, look, i have objections, there are objects within the white house, understanding what the concerns are from the
enemy of the people and so it is arguable that it wouldn t make sense for him to be in the room partying with journalists. without him in that room, the biggest joke isn t there. and that is a challenge for the night. and i think i lessen to olivia talk about the distance of the dinner and have the comedian there with the president there, that makes sense. when he s not there, you miss the biggest punch lines because he s the joke and you also miss that balance of power. and i kind of part of me wants ron chernoff to knock it out of the park. this is the comedian the historian. he gave us hamilton and maybe we ll get correspondents dinner 2018 and it will sell on broadway because he does have a deep understanding of the role of the press in our democracy and the first amendment and we re at a time when that is all challenged. it is a good thing and it is a disand does look to remind us of
we have to underscore the point you just made. every single democrat on the intelligence committee voted against even allowing other members of congress to see this information. so you know they re going to fight against release to the american people. what are the democrats so afraid of? why don t they want the american people to know the truth about what was going on with the government, how that impacted the president, his transition, his campaign and it just seems interesting to me that democrats don t want us to know what the entire basis was in the first place for the mueller probe they want to drag this out through the midterm elections to embarrass this president and distract from the critical work we have to do to save this great country. sean: do you conclude that mueller, the whole issue of trump-russia collusion should have never come up. does mueller need to disand. this was a liability on corruption built on a sham. the entire investigation is a fiction. it s a fallac
