A recap of the days news. He did, and they werent taken o ut of Campaign Finance, thats a big thing. Thats much bigger thing. Did they come out of the campaign . Is they didnt come out of the campai campaign. They came from me. It isnt even a campaign violation. What the president appears to be claiming there is completely untrue, which would mean it was false and a lie. You cant Duck Campaign finance laws simply by paying out of your own pocket. Thats a crime. A crime that Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to yesterday. A crime cohen says he committed at the direction of donald trump. Heres what he said in if court yesterday. And i quote, on or about the summer of 2016,court yesterday.

trying to help connect everyone in the world because we want to offer a free service that everyone can afford. okay. that s the only way that we can reach billions of people. and in a post yesterday celebrating facebook s birthday, zuckerberg wrote, as networks of people replace traditional hierarchies and reshape many institutions in our society, from government to business, to media, to communities and more, there is a tepndsy of some peope to lament this change, to overly emphasize the negative and in some cases to go so far as saying the shift to empowering people in the ways the internet and these networks do is mostly harmful to society and democr y democracy. let s talk about this now with roger mcnamee. roger, welcome. congratulations. i know you ve been working on this for a long time. we reached out to facebook for their reaction to the coverage you re getting on this and they responded to us by saying we take criticism seriously. over the past to years, we ve fundam
adviser, his personal lawyer, now have all either are either convicted or admitted felons. to that s a powerful weapon for the democrats. if i could just read you a very interesting statement by trump right before the election last time, he said, a vote for hillary is a vote to surrender our government to public corruption, cronyism, that threatens the very foundations of our constitutional system. what makes us exceptional is we are a nation of laws. public corruption is a grave and profound threat to our democr y democracy. spreads outward like a cancer and affects the operation of government, itself. if the corruption is not removed, the people are not able to have faith in their government. that was donald trump. so it s coming back on him. what you said. that s, again yeah. so that s a problem. yeah. that is that is a problem. do you think, david, that any republican members of congress, i mean, seriously, do you think that they will be frank with this president and

way it is. and i embrace that. we don t need boots on the ground but we need to be leading and ending this war because we ll pay a higher price later if it continues to go on. so those are our options. options are not good ones. they re not goost good ones. very quickly on egypt before i let you go. very harsh statement today from the secretary of state john kerry. egypt sentenced 43 non-governmental organization workers including some americans to jail today for just doing their job, trying to promote human rights, if you will, democracy, kerry saying this decision runs contrary to the universal principle of freedom of association is incompatible with the transition to democr y democracy. you know, some members of the senate like rand paul want to cut off aid to egypt right now, $1.3 billion in military assistance this year alone. is it time to cut that aid, u.s. taxpayer money going to egypt? well, they serve harder for a person like myself and senator
