Week. Lets get to some of the conversations you might have missed. Lets talk about the debate. In your latest piece you write quote, the most important thing i saw Kamala Harris who was pre blocking, not debunking, was waiting for someone to lie, and hit back with the truth. It is not working politics as much as you would hope it would in saturated lies, but free bunking is explain to people how they are being, or better yet will be related, what the motive is, how the con works, how the lie will be crafted and will function, and for extra credit, who benefits from it and how. In the age of trump, too any of his appointments have been debunked and no prebunked. And she said it at the outset, she said, let me say, you will hear a whole bunch of lies. And as he rolled them out, she explained why they were lies. We have talked about one of the most interesting stories about the ascension of Kamala Harris at the top of this ticket is that she has brought with her a lot of new thinking that
That are being organized on facebook and read it buying the stock, bidding it up, causing those institutions to lose money here. Talking to the tune of billions of dollars over the past week or so for the sec, Securities Exchange commission is watching this and a sec regulator told me you might be hard for them to find a violation. Listen. I think when it comes to regulating the speech or regulating content, thats a huge challenge and certainly from a securities regulation perspective. I dont think the sec can regulate speech which everyone has the right to regulate in the sense charging a crime for doing it. What has lawmakers concerned is that robin hood is billed as a free Trading Platform had actually stopped or halted trades on gamestop and some of these others that were shorted which allowed the institutions to make back some of their money in those shorts yesterday. If robin hood said it needed the pause to collect collateral for its clearing house. They raised A Billion Dollars
Lets go outfront. Good evening, i am erin burnett. Outfront. Breaking news. House republicans meeting Behind Closed Doors to debate the fate of liz cheney after she voted to impeach trump. That meeting lasted more than two hours. As her fate is up in the air, one thing the minority leader Kevin Mccarthy made clear already tonight is that he is picking a side. Marjorie Taylor Greenes side, a side of Conspiracy Theories, too fringe for fringe. A woman who days ago said she still truly believes that the election was stolen and fraudulent. A qanon supporter. Mccarthys words tonight, past comments by Marjorie Taylor greene on school shootings, Political Violence, antisemitic Conspiracy Theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the republican conference. Well, that is clearly not true because mccarthys actions speak much louder than words, he is siding with greene. Nowhere in his statement does he mention pulling her from both committees. By the way, theyre plum committees, educatio
Amazing. That guy is really bringing great work. These are regular American People who are disaffected and frustrated. I remember seeing this with al qaeda. And the taliban. Now, they dont have the same literacy curve that we hear, the exposure, the information and all that, which makes it even worse that people can fall for it, but they can. They can be, like, i support trump, you support trump and these people are trying to get him and heres how. One step and another step. And now the Republican Party is saying to people in their ranks, its okay to listen to these guys. Yeah. Its okay. Yeah. Well, you are what you eat. And its im serious. I cant explain to you i dont even have the words to tell you just how outraged i am and how just infuriating and frustrating the level of hypocrisy is right now. Were not talking about were not talki ing about fire brands. Right . There are fire brands in the Republican Party. There are fire brands in the democratic party. They say things that are p
