00:00Big shindig down at Mar-a-Lago last night Donald Trump the president-elect and do you call her the first lady elect first lady?

00:08To be again, whatever. Whatever you call it

00:11Melania was there and they hosted a dinner that was attended by lots of people but most

00:17Notably Donald Trump's longtime sort of I don't know if the rivals but they had they had a rocket relationship

00:25Bezos and Donald Trump

00:27Jeff Bezos went down to Mar-a-Lago earlier in the day to kiss the ring

00:31to meet with him knowing that Mark Zuckerberg had done the same that Tim Cook had an interaction with him and obviously

00:37Elon Musk is right there. So it's sort of like the billionaires all

00:42bowing to the president-elect and there was Jeff and and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez walking in to sit down with a guy who

00:51I mean, it's so obvious during the campaign is loving it. I'm sorry, but that's I know that she's loving it

00:57Look at the smile. You have to smile when I

01:00Mean, I don't know that they either of them can be loving it because he it just seems so obvious

01:06What's happening here and they have to know that it's obvious to everyone right for people that this that it's business, right?

01:14They they don't necessarily want to be there. But for the sake of his business

01:19He's gonna go and kiss the ring as it were

01:22I mean look he runs like the fourth biggest company by market cap in in America. I think it makes sense

01:28It's obviously something that a lot of business leaders have done in the past you meet with the president-elect

01:32What about giving the million dollars to the inauguration? Why not? I mean look

01:38You better be in the good graces of the president who could have a profound impact on his business

01:43Jeff Bezos

01:45Elon Musk

01:47Tim Cook Mark and Mark Zuckerberg are lobbyists and they are lobbying the president. That's what's going on here

01:53I don't disagree with you

01:55I'm simply saying that this is not something that's unique to Donald Trump that this is something that happens with all presidents

02:00I'm different with you're right. You're you're right. It does but the difference is that

02:05If you were at least giving the impression that you were opposed to him during the campaign

02:12Then it makes it more obvious and glaring

02:16And also sort of like be remain neutral during the campaign. So that way it's not a big deal

02:21But they had an acrimonious relationship and you got to remember guys that the Washington Post which Jeff Bezos owns

02:29Had an editorial written and writing Kamala Harris and right before the election

02:35He killed it and said we don't want to do this because it creates a lack of objectivity

02:40Which is something that they did

02:42It was probably a good move in hindsight Harvey because I who knows how Donald Trump would have saw that if that would have irked

02:47Him or not. You're right. I probably a good move except that we all found out about it

02:52And so now it would have had no impact. Nobody votes for a candidate because the Washington Post

02:58Endorses, no, no, we know we know that but it was false

03:01I think for Bezos to say well, we just have it. No, it's not about that

03:05It's you think Donald Trump is gonna win and they're gonna be

03:08Regulations that are gonna be onerous to your company and we got to get on board here or at least be in the middle

03:14So if you do win, we're hedging our bets and then we can you know give

03:18Understood but I would say this by and large

03:21It's clear that a lot of people who might have disliked Donald Trump in the past that things have changed

03:25Whether that's because they didn't like Biden's presidency or because of something else

03:28But his favorability ratings have never been higher

03:31And I think a lot of people more people than ever are supporting Donald Trump. I will say this

03:36I think that those people that you're referring to Mike

03:41Donald Trump probably thinks they like him now and I don't know this that they like him

03:44They just know that they need to be in a very transactional. It can we get to it?

03:49It's a correctional look, you know, Lauren Sanchez, you've known her for a long time. Did you have the fish or the chicken?

03:54I don't know what you eat. What do you think? I don't know guess I have no idea

04:02Me see from Florida

04:05Listen if I if someone don't was donating a million to my fun

04:10I'd assumed everyone liked me too and wanted to be my friend

04:14I mean, it sounds like a party to me, but let's be honest here

04:19We all know that Trump's true bestie is social media. Well, that's a point. Yeah, that's a

04:25indisputable point
