In a special legal breakdown, MSNBC’s Ari Melber addresses the renewed scrutiny the tech industry now faces in light of the pandemic. While tech titans like Facebooks’s Zuckerberg and Amazon’s Bezos have raked in billions of dollars, Congress is debating whether to renew or slash jobless benefits of just $600 for Americans. Four of America’s top tech companies faced Congress themselves today, pressed by lawmakers for breaking the rules of capitalism. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 7/29/2020.

Twitter Restricts Donald Trump Junior Amidst Battle Over Tech Power | MSNBC
“can’t believe I’m related to these corrupt individuals” – Mary Trump
Millions of Americans say that.
@Gyrene_asea There are several Trump supporters who are not racists( including blacks). I am sure you are the one trolling by stereotyping all Trump supporters as racists. Also, trying to protect your race is not racism.
@Aja Kim Also, it’s disgusting to see the extent to which the left has indoctrinated the people of America. You will repent calling me a ‘racist dog’ the day your daughter gets molested by some Mexican “immigrant “.
regretful sinner Ahhh, the daily hate!! These “evil, greedy, billionaire Capitalist Pigs” should be stripped of their wealth and the money redistributed!!!! The funny thing is, EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS!!!!! IN FACT: 8 of the 10 richest Billionaires in America are DEMOCRAT!! So, while everyone here credits Nadless and the gang for “grilling them”, they continue to take in political donations from these same people!! Do you actually think they will ever ‘bite the hand that feeds them’? If you do, you are one of those that got ‘left behind’ by our educational system.
regretful sinner Ahhh Yes!!! Liberals HATE anyone with the name Trump because they are all liars and they will do whatever they can to destroy them all, however, they believe every word of Mary Trump?? Imagine that!!
Daily Reminder: Trump called Covid-19 a Democrat hoax that will magically disappear.
@Jeremy Backup “Dirty, stinking, Communist……”
Was that supposed to be an insult? There are no longer communists in Russia, it has become an extreme case of capitalism, a Cleptocracy with a small band of oligarchs fleezing the country for all it is worth, while the majority of the population does barely manage to make a living.
THAT is what 20 years of unrestricted GOP government would do to America too. The signs and plans are already clear to see. Calling aRussian a “stinking Communist” is not just historically ignorant, but also a laughably wrong analysis of 2020 politics.
If you wish call him a Stooge of Putin’s Mafia or a paid foreign Trump-Enabler. But do not embarass yourself and those reading you by throwing around the communist “accusation”. That is schoolyard level “insulting”.
@Trailin’ Annie I know at least of ONE “evil, greedy billionaire capitalist pig. that is Rep, namely your great leader, mad king Trump.
So there!
@Trailin’ Annie how do You know what their party affiliation is? I can guess what Bezos is because he owns the Post and Whole Foods, or so it would seem that’s a reasonable deduction. But a lot of wealthy business owners contribute to both parties. I think the Zuck might actually be leaning Right. Most of the Republicans in Congress come from poor Red States. Kentucky is pretty high on the list of Federally funded handouts. Most of the Republican slogans are just crazy lies — like Trickle Down. I’ve never met a dollar yet that didn’t float up. But it’s all a numbers game. Republicans have realized years ago that it doesn’t matter what they stand for, all that matters is how many people they can get to stand with them.
Kitt Songstad It is called homework. For those who got ‘left behind’ this might be difficult to understand.
@Trailin’ Annie no seriously, what’s your source?
Donald Trump quotes on covid:
February 10th – “By April, when it gets a bit warmer, it will miraculously go away”
February 25th – “We’re very close to a vaccine”
February 26th – “We have 15 cases and within a couple of days that’s going to be down close to zero so that’s a pretty good job we’ve done”
February 26th – “The infection seems to have gone down over the last 2 days. We’re going to be at 5 people pretty soon. And we could be at just 1 or 2 people over the next short period of time”
February 28th – “This is the democrats new hoax”
March 6th – “It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month”
March 11th – “We’re more prepared to fight the virus than any other country. The virus doesn’t stand a chance against us”
March 13th – “I don’t take responsibility at all”
March 16th – “I rate my handling of the outbreak as a 10 out of 10”
March 24th – “We never shut the country down for flu”
April 10th – “I looks as though we’ll only have 60,000 deaths, which is substantially lower than what any of the scientists thought”
April 16th – “We are past the peak”
April 23rd – “We have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world”
April 23rd – “Suppose we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Supposing you brought light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some way”
April 24th – “Disinfectant knocks it out in 1 minute. Can we use that? By injecting it inside the body?”
April 25th – “There might not be a 2nd wave once we reopen. It might not come back at all”
May 3rd – “We’re going to lose anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 people”
May 5th – “With or without a vaccine, it’s going to pass”
May 13th – “If we did less testing, we would have less cases. So in a way, by doing all of this testing it makes me look bad”
May 21st – “When we have a lot of cases, I don’t look at that as a bad thing. I look at it as a good thing because it means our testing is much better. So I view it as a badge of honour. Really, it’s a badge of honour”
June 15th – “If you don’t test you don’t have any cases. If we stopped testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any”
June 17th – “The virus is dying out”
June 19th – “I have done a phenomenal job with covid”
June 19th – “Testing is a double edged sword. So I said to my people slow the testing down please”

July 4th – “We’re well on our way to a tremendous victory over this virus”
July 10th – “Texas and Florida are going to have it under control very quickly”
July 13th – “Testing is a double edged sword. When you test you create cases, so we’ve created cases”
July 13th – “We have the lowest covid mortality in the world”
July 17th – “We are the envy of the world for how we’ve dealt with this”
July 27th – “The governors should be opening up states”
Vote this liar out!
@Juliette M I just posted to my facebook page

Football Nerd cool I love and respect your work and you are doing your bit by not being silent like we all are who can’t be there and protest. 🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾🥾
I had a guy call him Agolf Twitler today best real laugh with tears I’ve had for months.
Football Nerd great memes mate. I’ll keep spreading. I like the chicken cross the road one too. Very original but using an old cliche. Beautifully simple. Like why didn’t I think if that!
@Johnny one trump family made their money off the backs of others, why do you want a liar in the whitehouse?
Test positivty rate across the entire pandemic:
New Zealand – 0.3%
Australia – 0.4%
South Korea – 0.9%
The UK – 1.9%
Germany – 2.8%
Canada – 3.0%
The USA – 8.1%
Donald Trump “The only reason we see so many cases is because of the amount of testing we’re doing”
Donald Trump “When you test you create cases, so we’ve created cases”
Donald Trump “So I told my people, slow the testing down please”
@Football Nerd Where does the 462,590 come from?
@Uffi Sachs https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Misunderstanding… I based the percentage on the basis of infections/ population.
Yeah, if hospitals don’t accept any covid patients, the hospitalization rate is zero… LOL
Football Nerd Ahhh, the daily hate!! These “evil, greedy, billionaire Capitalist Pigs” should be stripped of their wealth and the money redistributed!!!! The funny thing is, EVERY ONE OF THEM ARE DEMOCRATS!!!!! IN FACT: 8 of the 10 richest Billionaires in America are DEMOCRAT!! So, while everyone here credits Nadless and the gang for “grilling them”, the same Democrats in Congress continue to take in political donations from these very people!! Do you actually think they will ever ‘bite the hand that feeds them’? If you do, you are one of those that got ‘left behind’ by our educational system.
These people are evil ghouls. And that’s on a good day.
@Kitt Songstad “You’re lucky you get to get your mouth open” Firstly you’re strengthening my point by saying stuff like this and contradicting your first comment about how you believe it’s actually republicans that are on the attack and difficult to debate with. No, It is significantly the other way around. Just watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9g7BcjKs&t

@ZDFraser “art of debate” That’s a good one. You mean like artfully creeping and looming behind Hillary?
Traillin Annie if you go that low in the argument field and make this too a political game
Please don’t forget the worse one is actually a so-called Republican using the presidency for personal gains. Guess who?
@Fat Silver That implies to everyone. You want whoever you want in power for your personal gain. Everyone is selfish. E.g someone who exploits welfare and contributes nothing to society will always be in favour of distributing wealth. Don’t think that you have any moral high ground.
They can support corporate welfare with billions of dollars of tax cut backs and other benefits but they can’t give $600 dollars for unemployment; HEARTLESS!!!!
It’s terrible!
Because good taxpayers like you don’t wanna stand up and end the bs.
@Bell you mean the cruise ships that fly the flag of offshore tax havens? I thought is was America America 1st, America 1st. Who said that again?
Because they don’t want to encourage people to be lazy … That’s how out of touch they are with ground zero.
…..and you’re surprised???
Fricking greed. It’s a game to these people.
Then uninstall Facebook.
@R S FUKOFF STOOPID U LIKE IT THAT BILLIONARSES PAY NO TAX

Why do Republicans believe that gutting rules and regulations promotes Capitalism and free markets? They worked so hard to paint Elizabeth Warren as Socialist because she promotes a rules-based system that is enforceable and a fair playing field. She is more pro-Capitalist than any of these sociopaths.
That would be false, Edith. Sorry, you don’t go to the lightning round. She’s a socialist; not a capitalist. Just ask Bernie.
True. All Warren has tried to do I protect consumers.
@Captain1 Jones Nothing Wrong with that. It is Good to have Someone who makes sure you don’t get Screwed by the Big Boys.
Facebook, Twitter has to be broken up.
Exactly….HINT MICROSOFT AND BILL GATES
Facebook is just another right wing propaganda platform
Right in the trash
Google and Amazon too!!

While we, the meddle work class Americans are dying of hunger, the billionaires and corrupt high techs companies, and the narcissist trump and his communist party, are stealing our taxpayers money to enrich themselves.
Johnny one We don’t know if trump actually does not take his salary because he won’t show his taxes!
@Brenda Heeligan it’s my understanding his taxes are under review with the IRS currently. If they’re missing a dime,you know they’ll be wanting it.lol
@Johnny one is that the same irs that a trump stooge is over?

L S Really???? So the evil Trump, the person who liberals everywhere are BLAMING for lowering taxes is, in your words “stealing taxpayers money to enrich themselves”?? OK. So by your logic, if Biden gets elected and raises your taxes as he has already stated he would, you will be happy and you will no longer believe they are “stealing taxpayers dollars”. Very ‘intelligent’!!
I’ll believe that they are serious when they ask Bezos under oath how much he paid in taxes last year. Both corporate and personal.
And trump
@We are all connected trump? He admitted before he was president that he didn’t pay taxes and said it was a problem with the writing of the code. Then he said he was going to fix it! It must be another thing that only trump can fix. He’s such a stable genius!

These super rich need a super tax
In the 1970’s huge corporations were taxed at 30%+. The average American family needed one adult working to afford a new house, new car, and put food on the table.
We removed taxes for corporations, and now we need 3 adults per household working, just to make ends meet.
If Trump wanted to make America great again, he’d raise taxes to 1970 levels.
Watch Patriot millionaires on you tube
There have been several studies showing had we stayed on track with where we were in 1970, the average American would be making $22.35 an hour as min wage today, and we’d be enjoying the greatest point in American History, as we did in the 70’s.
@Jeremy Backup and parents wouldn’t be having to choose between work and their kid’s health now!

Done
Trump made it possible for these super rich companies to rake in more money. Vote the Republicans out of office.
anna faith Doing well Anna:) Thanks for asking!! How are you? When I’m not doing well I blame Trump but I’m good today:)
Drag them out.
It is generally the people that contribute nothing to society that tend to hate the rich.
ZDFraser Trump’s tax cut helped billionaires pay less taxes than the working class. These billionaires do not need more money stuff down their throats. Who said anything about poor people hating rich people.

I put this footage on just to pause it. I needed to write something about one the guest’s. Mark Zuckerberg is as far as I am concerned another trump. I don’t believe a single word that dribbles pass his lips so I won’t be watching this clip but look forward to seeing many more without IT!

What does Zuckerberg look like a drag queen that didn’t get all of his makeup off before he went and did this interview
All dat sunscreen in Hawaii and still got sunburnt

When you say ”out back”. makes me wonder what you have in mind. do you find him attractive
FB isn’t a place for families anymore. He’s as bad as Fox allowing fake news and gave Trump and his supporters another hate platform.

“I don’t remember” its such a pathetic excuse.
It’s a get out of jail free card, he knows he signed off on that agreement. One company shouldn’t be allowed to own the whole supply chain, is anti-competitive.
Utha Hey
He didn’t finish the sentence… “I don’t remember, there are SO many businesses that I wiped out!”
