Power as the concentration of power in a specific market. so if coke is pepsi tried to merge, that might be a problem. you have a merger that doesnt seem to be what the justice department would usually be concerned with. in addition you have statements by the administration that targets cnn, not only the ones that everyone knows where the president talks about cnn, but also you have jared kushner suggesting cnn fire 21% of its employees. you have jeff sessions, the attorney general refusing to a...

You sell this entity that has been a thorn in our boss side for the past 18 months. >> at&t is not the first company to legally challenge the justice department. its a reminder that administrations dont dive up when you think its the case with a justice department action. for example, it was under reagans justice department that we had the formal breakup of at&t. so you could make the case that that is really hardly a consistent case where the administration would personally push its point of vi...

It will increase different pricing for people. this merger would greatly harm american consumers. it would mean higher monthly television bills and fewer of the new, emerging innovative options that consumers are beginning to enjoy. is that a species premise or do you think it has merit with the court? >> it certainly is not a premise or an argument that the courts have accepted so far. certainly the closest analogy to the at&t, cnn merger was comcast merger of nbc universal, which went through ...

$200,000 for president obama and personally gave $30,000 to democratic committees supporting his campaign. in 2004 he bundled $100,000 for john kerry. here is the appeals court what they will have to figure out. he claims the executive order threatens to take all federal money away from sanctuary cities. the justice department says that is not accurate. the only law enforcement grant money was at issue here and that money is conditioned upon the sanctuary city following the law. that is somethin...

Republican and democratic administrations have made a series of decisions that have effectively allowed for much more immigration then was supposed to be allowed under the law of the united states. as part of this, they look at temporary protected statuses and say look, they call them temporary, they go on for a very long time. the difference in haiti is this earthquake is much more recent than the stuff -- the statuses that existed for central america, had gone on much longer. i think here as r...

On this holiday-shortened week. his son, eric trump, weighing in over the weekend on his fathers role on national security. listen. >> he has done more to mend relationships over in asia than has been done in the last three decades by all other previous administrations. i think having three or four aircraft carriers parked off the peninsula shows the might of a nation and makes it very clear we arent playing. my father is not playing. mattis, these arent people who play games. >> sandra: his fat...

So whats striking about this is that it is a departure from both the more liberal antitrust policies of the obama administration and its a really big departure from republican administrations which tend to be more hands-off when it comes to antitrust enforcement. >> and brian stelter who is back with us, at one point this was a relatively uncontroversial merger. lets listen to what the head of the justice departments antitrust division said. this was last year of 2016. >> this is more of what we...

Just in the judiciary, but across the administration and always looks for more ways to grow that and improve that, but in terms of the release on friday, the president hadnt added any new names in nearly a year and tifelt like it was a gd time to do that and nothing more than expanding the list and should there ever be a potential vacancy to fill. >> it flags administrations. [ inaudible ] >> i would have to look at the specifics before i can comment on it. sorry. margaret? >> thank you. im than...

Administrations, republican and democratic alike, they have been able to nicely move on here. i suspect that countries have been providing the muscle, the money and the manpower to give them and provide for them what they needed, whether that is china or iran today. how do you stop that? >> neil, i think i think were at a point where the world is finally waking up to the fact that this regime under this leader specifically for the -- as you said, the last 20 years, they have gone from a one kilo...

Here, the president hasnt been involved, this has nothing to do with president trump? >> yeah. you also left, jim, as i heard your litany, you left out the threat to urge the fcc to withdraw nbcs broadcast license. >> thats right. >> so, you know, this has been a pattern of behavior. look, one of the great concerns about this administration -- i fully accept that when administrations change, policies change, but our institutions need to endure. one of the things that concerns me is that there is...
