amazon founder jeff bezos did not appear to like that. he tweeted back, the newly created disinformation board should review this tweet or maybe they need to form a new nonsequitur board instead. raising corporate attacks is fine to discuss. taming inflation is critical to discuss. mushing them together is just n misdirections. joining us to discuss this is rahel solomon. i was surprised to see jeff bezos get so, like, worked up about this. >> it does seem like he's weighing in on twitter a lot more. you have one of the world's richest men taking on arguably the most powerful man. there's not a lot biden can do in the short term to lower inflation. white house responding with a statement to cnn saying, look, it doesn't require a huge leap to figure out why one of the wealthiest individuals on earth opposes an economic agenda for the middle class that cuts some of the biggest costs that families fight for the long haul and as the historic deficit production the president is achieving by asking the richest corporations to pay their fair sha

then he got called out by jeff bezos who said the newly created disinformation board should review this tweet because raising corporate taxes is fine, taming inflation is critical to discuss but mushing them together is just misdirection. i'm curious who you side with in that debate? >> well, i don't participate in twitter debates, never have and probably never will. i think that the causes are complicated. i think that when you look at what we need to do in this country to address some of the problems that are not necessarily contributing to inflation but are making it harder for families to deal with inflationary pressures, we have to figure out how to pay for that so take something like increasing the availability of child care credits, having families have angccess to refundingable tax credits. families, some of them middle class, some of them down near the poverty line you have to pay for those things one of the ways to pay for them is through some of the tax proposals. i'm not sure i would make it a cause and effect. >> yeah, i get it. i get it but raising corporate taxes and taxe

we welcome the fact that jeff bezos is attacking the president. the billionaires are on the side of billionaires, and the democrats are sign the side of average working people and poor people and people in need. people who actually are working harder than ever as ceo pay goes through the roof, as corporate profits hit record levels, as prices go up. why? you tell me. why corporations that have never had, in 70 years, as profitable a run as they have right now, why are they raising prices? well, they don't have to raise prices. that is what democrats ought to be talking about. >> robert reich, tank you very much, we appreciated. next up general sixth select committee calls another house republican to testify, this time over a tour of the capital complex the day before the insurrection. plus, new reporting that bill barr, former attorney general weighs in after this. ighs in after this but, at upwork, we found him. he's in adelaide between his color-coordinated sticky note collection and the cutest boxed lunch we have ever seen. and you can find him

this isn't like jeff bezos for a far, far lower price buying "the washington post." >> yeah, there's lots of ways to make money. if you go into other countries like china or any country across the world and you also happen to be the owner of twitter, it doesn't have -- there's other ways to make money with this thing in terms of owning it. jeff bezos certainly has put a shine on his reputation by owning "the washington post" and leaving it alone. there's a lot more going on here than just owning twitter. if he can make enough money to keep up the debt payments, which are significant, it's not a bad thing to have to be the owner of twitter across the globe. >> dan, i showed ted cruz and elizabeth warren, two senators up at the top, talking about the importance of this move. i have to admit, as an outsider i'm agnostic on it. i'm not sure what it means. are we seeing a little too much hyperventilating on both the right and the left? >> i think absolutely. you are seeing many on the right who are prematurely celebrating as if this is going to be necessarily a fundamental change. maybe i

billionaire, jeff bezos, responded on twitter. raising corporate taxes is fine to discuss. taming inflation is critical to discuss. marching them together is just misdirection. in another post he wrote, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already overheated inflationary economy, and only manchin save them from themselves. inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least in flu. and misdirection does not help the country. let me get your response to billionaire jeff bezos and his criticism on the biden administration. how do you feel about that? >> inflation is a real. concern prices are up. we have to talk about basic economic. the basic economics is that the build back better bill would have been fully paid for. with all these fully paid for as any economists would tell you, it is not cause inflation. this is when you have deficit spending. then the fed has to come in and buy bonds. this increases the money supply. if you actually raise revenue, and you increase taxes, the fed has to buy less and you are shrinking the money supply. thi

[laughter] lauren: that is not a conservative newspaper. stuart: no, not. lauren: and here's the statement, the tweet with: look, a twirl the. this is the white house statement, and he includes it about what i recently tweeted. they understandably want to muddy the topic. they know inflation hurts, but unions aren't causing inflation and neither are wealthy people. remember, the administration tried their best to add another $3.5 trillion to federal spending. they failed. but they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is, and it's the already at a 40-year high. he's saying the white house doesn't understand it's their policies, their loose spending that's causing inflation. and then the new press secretary doubled down on that. >> it's not a huge mystery why one of the wealthiest individual on earth, right,

imagine being jeff bezos and instead of empowering invest get of journalism and putting the resources into uncovering the truth behind what caused the pandemic, instead, "the washington post" put out fan fiction slamming trump and not going after the real causes of covid-19. the mainstream media simply dismissed that idea until we all had to admit it was a real possibility. rather than being more informed, people are less informed. to his first point about senators texting their true feelings, i think the true feelings of any politician might be radically different from what they say publicly. that is why they are politicians. host: the conversation caught on tape of kevin mccarthy and top republican officials in the house talking about president trump and january 6 in that book "this will not pass" by jonathan martin and alexander burns/ guest: i am always interested in hearing opposing viewpoints and interesting viewpoints, and i think january 6 was a conflicting politics -- a situation with politicians saying one thing publicly and another thing privately. host: crystal in germanto

today, my question to jeff bezos, the second what the gift -- the second wealthiest person in our country, is a pretty simple one. it really speaks to the kind of corporate greed and excessive greed we are seeing right now in america. mr. bezos, you have enough money to buy a $500 million yacht, it -- you got enough money to buy $175 million estate in beverly hills and a $23 million mansion right here in d.c. given all of your wealth, how much do you need? why are you doing everything within your power, including breaking the law, to deny amazon workers the right to join a union so they can negotiate for better wages, better working conditions, and better benefits? how much do you need? the answer is not complicated. what mr. bezos understands and what he is fighting is the reality that union workers in america earn about 20% more than nonunion workers on average. mr. bezos understands that 79% of union workers have a defined benefit pension plan compared to just 17% of nonunion workers. mr. bezos understands that union workers are half as likely to be the comes of health and safety viola

bezos has questioned a possible rise of chinese influence on the site. some human rights groups have expressed concerns that hate speech would be allowed on the platform. that's as many who had previously left twitter out of principle including fox news host, tucker carlson. they are now coming back hoping for a new era without censorship. and twitter has often made headlines over its controversial censorship policies including expanding of van at president donald trump. 2 years ago, but in a parent's support for current president joe biden, the social network has taken down more than 600 posts that were critical of his policies. well, i think we couldn't do any worse than what twitter has been to date, which is effectively a censorship and propaganda, oregon for the democratic party and the the state. the problem was how twitter was previously being managed before you on moscow, on twitter, or twitter, was owned by saudi proud branch, black rock, and other financial institutions. and it was being used to steer the public discourse in america towards the

we have 2 rich man, no on mosque, and jeff bezos both speaking up and blaming by for the increasing problem of inflation in the u. s. economy. here's what was said. they know inflation hurts the neediest the most, but unions aren't causing inflation and neither are wealthy people. remember, the administration tried their best to add another $3.00 trillion dollars to federal spending. they failed, but if they had succeeded, inflation would be even higher than it is today. and inflation today is at a 40 year high. the honest reason for inflation is that the government printed a zillion amount of more money than it had. this is not super complicated. this administration just doesn't seem to get a lot done. it's important to point out that jeff de, those is the owner of the washington post. he's a staunch democrat. you have a law mark speaking there as well. you just purchased twitter and wired ownership over twitter, sand. the 2 of them are blaming the by did ministration. now the situation is getting worse for americans. if you just look at the fact that this point that we're talking about 8.

even amazon's founder jeff bezos fired back, slamming president biden for saying corporations are the cause of inflation. the white house didn't like that. writing back, it doesn't require a huge leap to understand why one of the wealthiest people on earth. bezoats says the administration tried to inject even more stimulus tone an overheated inflationary economy. inflation hurts the least affluent. misdirection doesn't help the country. by playing woke population you have ticked off the american family and you have turned into some kind of joke. >> bezos blamed biden's sometime russ plan. things are getting tense. the cia is spying on bezos and alexa is spying on biden. brian: joining me, one of the most impressive mayors in america, the mayor of miami. i'm glad bezos and musk are fighting back. not as conservatives, but as americans. it's not their fault. >> i spoke to a retired couple. their lawn service went from $229 to $430. why do you want to punish large corporations. you saw this week when the corporations missed their earnings. what happens? they got punished. these are the s

today, my question to jeff bezos, the second what the gift -- wealthiest person in our country is a pretty simple one, and really speaks to the kind of corporate greed and excessive greed we are seeing right now in america. mr. bezos, you have enough money to buy a $500 million yacht, it wanted to 75 million dollars estate in beverly hills and a $23 million mansion right here in d.c. how much do you need? what are you doing everything within your power to deny amazon workers the right to negotiate for better wages, better working conditions? the answer is not complicated. what mr. bezos understands and what he is fighting is the reality that union workers in america earn about 20% more than nonunion workers on average. asked her bezos understands 79% of union workers have a defined benefit pension plan compared to just 17% of nonunion workers. mr. bezos understand union workers art -- and that is why mr. bezos and amazon and spent over $4 million last year on unionbusting consultants and lawyers. that is why amazon is forcing workers to attend captive and tight union meetings. but the minu

may be jeff bezos and ellen musk thing. they can make it without the rest of us, but the rest of us know that we are part of this world and that opportunity is here to make a change no time like the present, a flood. i figure like an absolute and it appears that glasgow did not bring the change. imagine the alcoholics anonymous via global conference, and the biggest litigation to the conference was alcohol in destroy. all in the past, a big anti slavery conference. and the biggest delegation was slave bonus, by the way, that's what it was. that's why slave owners could compensation. and those was slaves with no compensation. and this is how the climate negotiations are going. and now, you know, people like myself, when we look at where we get inspiration from. and i think that the inspiration right now is coming from young people, but it's also when you're looking at bodies and knowledge. indigenous wisdom teaches us the way out of this miss. because unless humanity can none to coexist with nature in a mutually interdepende

now it's important to point out that jeff bezos is the owner of the washington post. he is a staunch democrat. you have a lawn mosque speaking there as well. he just purchased twitter and acquired ownership or twitter. and the 2 of them are blaming the by did ministration. now the situation is getting worse for americans. if you just look at the fact that this point that we're talking about 8.3 percent rise and inflation and april, the producer price index is up 11 percent over last year. that's quite a significant increase. a goods are simply costing more. now we had the fox news, how is tucker carlson, lashing out at biden administration for their handling of the economic situation in the united states. here's what tucker carlson said. people who run our economy in the u. s. government caused inflation united states and they did it the old fashioned way by printing a ton of money very quickly. and that divide or currency is printing a ton of money very quickly. always does. now a poll show that in taxes, for example, a half of the residents blame the biden administr

that's jeff bezos. >> laura: i wonder who that outlier percent is. jason, over at msnbc and they're an extension of the white house press secretary's office, they're demanding and insisting that the democrats just get more insane. >> this assault on women opens the door for further assault on rights. assault on the 14th amendment. this is a part of the attack on voting rights and the lbgtq communities. >> laura: jason, your reaction to that gem. >> they keep going so far off to the left. it just makes absolutely no sense. where were they about individual rights in all of that when the masks were there and the forced vaccination? we're going to fire people if they didn't get a vaccine? they were nowhere on any of this. it's an act of desperation. i think there's not a single category of an issue that they can point to where they are growing their base. there's not a single one across the board. the president earlier this week was trying to go out there and talk about the reduction of the deficit number. that's what happens when you spend a record amou

all these people never seem to complain with jeff -- when jeff bezos bought the washington post. the hypocrisy is outstanding. caller: good morning. i have a question for adam. you talk about accuracy in media. i see a lot of non-accountability from everything, from the russian hoax two things that aren't talked about. i hear other callers talk about trump and gaining from the presidency, they have a committee that checks into this. he was him solved -- absolved of profiting from the presidency. i don't see anything from the media of stuff like this. i am wondering about the accuracy in the media. who takes care of that? guest: trump is the gift that kept on giving for the left-wing media. to his credit, trump took advantage of that on his own. he wouldn't have won those primaries if he didn't know how to play the media so well. it is amazing how there is that love-hate relationship between trump and the media, because the left-wing media outlets wrote it to record high ratings, and trump wrote it to the presidency. we wouldn't expect them to report positive things on trump to th
