action. what are those oil companies doing? when you say they re taking action. some are divesting assets. exxon is a big one. nonstop presence in russia. last night they said they re going to discontinue, quit, their final oil and drilling project there. it s a very big deal. we ve seen amex yesterday announcing it will stop working with some of the banksed that have been sanctioned. fedex, u.p.s., it s been across the board. this will send a big message and the oligarchs vladimir putin relies on for support. and obviously these actions are going to hurt russia and russians who are living there and relying on some of the products and aren t going to have access to supplies. then there are other companies you ve been talking to who want to help ukrainians like airbnb. you sat down and talked with the
phone right now. i want to play something for you because you and we have been something through that kellyanne conway talked about on fox news. there are so many qualified men and women who wanted to serve this president and this administration and their country who have been completely demoralized and completely i think disinclined to do so based on the paperwork that we have to put forward. divesting assets. the different hoops you have to run through because this white house is transparent and accountable and we have all complied with the rules. steve schmidt, she is demoralized by paperwork. i have never heard that before. well, look, you know, as you fill out this paperwork and we have all done it, it s burden some being under, you know, examination by the fbi, by cia is part of a full field background investigation is stressful.
divesting assets and putting it in a blind trust. donald trump will still have plenty of money. and i think just even from a shear political point of view he would be well-advised to put this issue behind him. it is very dangerous for the way our government works for this kind of potential corruption to exist and it is going to be ab issue throughout his presidency. kayleigh, how do you answer that? when other people serve in government they even have to sell stock, right? not just controlling companies. lot of them just buy bonds but a they don t even want to have the appearance of conflict of interest. why wouldn t donald trump want to eliminate that? i think he s taking great pains to avoid an appearance of conflict of interest. and doing so every day devising something too help him avoid that. but i think it is really important to point out here he s going to extraordinary measures that he doesn t have to take.
