that sparked a stern response from jeff bezos. bezos tweeted back and prompted andrew bates to say why the richest oppose to helping the med class. biden saiding it's surprising that this tweet comes after the president met with labor organizers. so bezos said this is about my recent tweets. they want to muddy the topic. they know the inflation hurts the medians the most. remember the administration tried their best to add another 3.5 trillion to federal spending but they failed. so the new white house press subpoena karine jean-pierre weighed in 20 minutes ago. listen. >> it's not a huge surprise that one of the richest is fighting for this. we're talking about lowering inflation. >> republicans say this is exactly what is wrong with the president's economic policies. >> they're not sensitive to concerns of every day americans. until we do that, i fear the situation will get worse, in particular until they change their energy policy, which is stifling domestic production. we're going to be in for a rough ride. >> there's no chang

bezos perhaps demonstrating how unpopular joe biden is realizing that jeff bezos a liberal technocrat realized that he had an opportunity to take a swipe at joe biden. that's where biden is. it's absurd to suggest that inflation can be cured by raising taxes. >> and musk also -- he put up a tweet a couple weeks ago saying the democratic party has moved away from him. not so much that he moved to the right. right now he's so upset with the reaction to his potential twitter takeover, particularly from his liberals that loved him before as he made the e.v. -- he created this e.v. industry himself single handedly. now we've all turned on him and he's upset about it. >> charles, he represents as you say one electric vehicle, the great savior for those that strongly believe in the environmental movement, those that want to get away from fossil fuels. secondly, he's benefitted from huge government subsidies for people to buy electric vehicles. so you think he's got an absolutely natural a sosation with the left, with liberals, progressives. he says he has in the past. but it's a reflection o

well, a smack-down from jeff bezos, amazon founder bezos replied to president biden's tweet about inflation. it all started when president biden put a tweet out about inflation, jeff bezos comes back and says inflation could be brought down by, inflation does not take down by wealthy corporations, the newly-created disinformation board should review this tweet or maybe form a new board, instead raising corporate taxes is fine to discuss, taming inflation is critical to discuss, mushing them together is just miss- direction according to jeff bezos. the white house then fires back at bezos saying 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. angela, once again, divide, divide, divide and conquer, and that's what we're doing here when we start attacking corporations now for inflation. >> well, the white house maybe able to try and ignore inflation as much as they can, but jeff bezos really can't. amazon's whole business depends on the purchasing power in large part the american public, so it doesn't

what "the washington post" has been saying mimics what jeff bezos has been saying. whether it's the chicken or the egg, i suspect bezos felt this for a while and convinced the editorial side that that is what needs to be done. for the president to lose "the washington post," which has been the main stay for every democratic administration since at least john f. kennedy and very often they would sway their editorial policy towards that democratic administration, this is the first. i have never seen in my career in many years, i've never seen "the washington post" stray from the editorial line of a democratic administration. they're doing it now. >> martha: you have been at this many years. >> thanks a lot! >> martha: so here's the nbc poll on the direction of the country. 75% say it's in the wrong track. you wonder. i'll is figuring this out that things are on the wrong track. whether at the "washington post" or people answering these pollings. it doesn't seem to be changing tact is at the white house. one thing, they wanted to do, another covid stimulus bill. they s

and jeff bezos is not wrong in the following way. it is a different issue. taxes would have an impact on inflation in the short-term. but obviously taxes are a long-term issue. so the question of whether you want to have higher taxes on corporations, i think is either a philosophical one or a long-term economic one, it is not something that you would do simply to deal with inflation in the very, very short-term. i also think that there is a couple of mixed messages in here and reasons for the back and forth. the president recently invited the head of one of the folks organizing the union in new york against amazon. so there is a bit of bad blood that is being created that sort of is a little bit behind all of this. but everybody is weighing in on this now. larry somers has come in on the other side of bezos. and there is an argument to be made that it would have an impact on inflation but just marginal in the short-term. and by the way, the chance that anything will happen on corporate tax rates any time soon is not even realistic. so it is just -- it is a l

that's what they're doing with jeff bezos. when people make money all they do it is invest it back in the economy. the government takes it and blows it on $40 billion on things like ukraine and other things. doesn't make any sense. when he took office gasoline was a little over $2. now over $4. american public is not buying what they're selling. so they have to clearly go to lying. they're skipping all of the points and going straight to the home plate and they're not getting anywhere with it. elizabeth: let's listen to former president trump. he is now responding to president biden. he continued to brand the quote, ultramaga movement. this is the president's attacks for the midterm elections where democrats are poised to have historic losses. that is the forecast. watch this. >> now i think we'll to to ultramaga. as a result -- [cheering] our country was ultraprosperous, ultrasecure, and ultrasuccessful, the most successful our country has ever been.

jeff bezos and jeff -- elon musk is one of the largest employers in the country. when the government looks at what they can claw back that are thriving the economy because of the amount of health care they're providing and insurance and the likes through their companies, that to me is absolutely a shell game they're playing. and to your point about elon musk voting democrat, exactly. and yet the democrat party has called him both a robber er baron for him to get to the root of this social media platform that hides behind a algorithm that humans created that provides angst in this country. i think it's ridiculous. they both got it right when they said inflation was underneath joe biden's purview. it's 100% under his watch. >> geraldo: isn't it ridiculous that bezos and musk are trying to make people feel sorry for him? >> jesse: you're ridiculous, geraldo. >> geraldo: what do you mean by that? >> geraldo: your -->> jesse: greg called biden lazy yesterday and he came out and said the same thing today, that guy has no drive. that's very interesting. >> geraldo: i thi

for the biden administration, for so many reasons, one of them is because of exactly what jeff bezos tweeted. you have to wonder if that was the nail in the coffin, because the biden administration knows that anytime the president said something inaccurate, people will bring up the disinformation board. she addressed the criticism that she received on tiktok, and -- women in politics, academia, or journalism, or "any time we express an opinion about females, criticism is not accepted anymore." nothing is distinctly fema. it doesn't have to do with the fact that she sings tiktok. she is a clear partisan, and it should be nonpartisan. >> something quickly about what you just said, and i would say "i hope you are right." not a good idea. senator cotton said to me earlier -- how do you keep this from forming in the future? i don't think there is this anticipation that it will go away. >> i don't think it's right to suppress other people's speech. they think america should be a college campus, where if you say something objectionable, you should have your right to speech denied. this is a

jonathan: did you see the jeff bezos complaint? he said if you want to bring down inflation, he said let's make sure the wealthy corporations pay their share. he said the disinformation board should review this tweet. he said raising a call for taxes is fine to discuss and paying is critical but mushing them together is misdirection. i'm not sure he's the greatest person to believe in corporate tax hikes. it's very confusing. tom: confusing is the right word and i would defer to political experts. i don't since they are getting political direction from this. jonathan: they want to talk about inflation as if it's a call for greed. they are doing it again. what they don't want to to talk about is maybe a failure of public policy. they are going to carry the corporate greed angle into the midterms. tom: the agony off of february 24 which is the beginning of the war in ukraine. wheat is up big and rice is up less. u.s. rice and u.s. wheat. what is petrol? jonathan: you can call it gas. this is up 6% and diesel is up even more and these

speaking of jeff bezos observed by jeff bezos. this shouldn't be a right wing or left wing issue. if you rewind back to the 2,000s imagine president bush had under the newly established department of homeland security then in the wake of 9/11 on the eve of the war in iraq had established a misinformation board, the left would have howled and correctly. so the government shouldn't be in the business of regulating what ideas can and cannot make it into the public sphere. that's not a left or right wing issue. it's not capitalist or anti-capitalist or a billionaire jeff bezos issue or non-billionaire issue it's a fundamental issue. the backlash that happened to come from people who identified as being right of center actually echoed ideas that were fundamentally in nature too. they backed off. i hope they backed off the substance and not just the publicity around it. again, time will tell us whether or not that's true. >> brian: right, we know at one point if it does go back into play it will be a music call on broadway. we know the director is clearly a fan of musicals. vivek, thank

it's interesting, jeff bezos and elon musk are both confessed democrats. i think they represent a large swath of the democrat party who is frustrated, people who want to be successful, they want to take care of other people but they can't in an environment like this. >> i think it's a great question, we have to understand what inflation is, there are far too many dollars in the marketplace and causes everything to go up. when the president wants to raise taxes, not that i agree with that to curb inflation, what that will do is take the dollars currently in the marketplace. inflation is a global thing, one reason we have goods and services, shanghai is close, you can't get a claim or piece of fabric out of shanghai with direct impact on american prices because we do a lot of trading with china so part of the president's strategy is finding where he can have a lower cost on things like housing, rent, insulin and figuring out ways to bring money or take money out of the economy and one of the easiest ways is for the companies making billions of dollars to pay
