first time in a while i went that is next level. it s not accurate to say we are falling way behind. you are talking about corporate america. it is one of the white house listening tours or is this administration prepared to dig in, invest and get in the game? google doesn t seem like one of president trump s beloved companies. i think that remains to be seen. a lot of companies do incredibly well but have been wondering where the government is. you look at somewhere like china. there is a huge statewide push to push companies to the forefront of a.i. and military and commercial arenas. you haven t seen that in the u.s. maybe this is a good step or suggestion that government will be spending more money allowing the regulation to help these companies push forward. i think they will be going to
word retaliation here, stephanie, let s be clear about this, late tuesday night into wednesday morn, the israelis were pummeling targets across syria while going on high alert, while opening the bomb shelters. today, there s going to be an emergency meeting of the cabinet in israel. some israeli headlines read this was the first day of a new war or is this now going to be the coming war. as you said, world war iii. let s hope not, stephanie. i take you back to i believe it was inauguration night when the president said my son-in-law jared kushner, he s going to be the one to create peace in the middle east. what have we heard from jared on this front? nothing. yes, nothing. don t forget that embassy is opening up next week in jerusalem. yes, the signs are already up. thanks so much, we re going to take a break. next, president trump s personal lawyer and fixer facing accusations he sold access to the trump administration. but is this just standard operating procedure for swampyp
it what do you make of that timing? i mean, first of all, i struggle with hearing the president talk about kim jong-un as nice. you know, stephanie, he wasn t nice in taking these three men hostage in the first place. and many americans before him. but, look, i think all signs point to the fact that kim jo jong-un wants to have a summit with president trump and kim jong-un wants to do all he can to see to it that summit is successful. this is what kim jong-un and his father, in fact, have long sought for decades, to be on par with the american president. in some ways, this is where the hard part begins. and i am skeptical that this could lead to a different outcome from what we ve seen before. and that s because in some ways we ve seen this movie before. we ve seen king jong-un release three americans before. we ve seen kim jong-un and his father talk about denuclearization. but it has really stopped there. and so the question is will the
jobs, effecting the military. maybe at the center of the next war. i think the companies are really hoping to get some buy in from the government and see some sort of long term encouragement that what they are doing is right and supported by the u.s. government. on that note this is a government, an administration where one voice seems to matter and it is president trump. is he participating in today s event? that sort of remains to be seen. i don t think he will be. there are a lot of people from the science tech policy part of the white house. i don t think we will see trump involved. that is very different from president obama who was a lot more engaged with the tech community. the tech community seemed to like him. there is that already. but the obama administration put out a huge report about a.i. tlmpt was a lot more long term thinking.
dollars to give speeches at goldman sachs. there s nothing she can say that that s profound or interesting that would warrant that kind of money. now fast forward, that s exactly what we re seeing from the swampiest of the swampers around the president. it s interesting, several people that made this the cottage industry and the major industry it is today are two people that were close to president trump at various points during the campaign and that s paul manafort and roger stone. they kind of prior neioneered t. we did research into both individuals. in the late 80s, pioneered this idea of access. we have the right rolodex, at the time, now cell phone, to be able to reach the right people. it doesn t mean this is illegal in any shape, form or manner. michael cohen can go around and say, hey, look, i can t get you inside the white house, i can make sure you re talking to the right people, i can make sure your phone calls are being returned. all those type of things don t
