Possibly some answers. thanks for coming on. how are these people getting so rich? nobody ever asks that question. jeff zients has gotten richer than anybody. how dough that that happened? >> it's interesting. i think through the covid thing, it was a story that we saw all over the country where i know it's cliche' but the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. zients used much of his career -- recall, he used to be the obamacare czar. he oversaw the obamacare implementation, the government means of enriching pharmaceuticals at the expense of the rest of us. the covid stint is a remix of his...

Topic. you have the nassau district attorney opening an investigation into santos. talk us through the potential legal problems he could be facing. and even then, would those problems, depending on how they play out, be enough to remove him from the house? >> probably, i think if nothing else, they were just spring on too much political pressure to stick around. but the feds are also there. in brief, i mean, it is funny. it's one of the most, you know, fragrant lies in political history. but all that, there's no crime. but anytime he filed papers, two or three quick points to note. it's financ...
