    EXCERPT:

    SWISHER: "The question is, who’s the prey? I mean, these people want financial advantage. They want lack of regulation. They want to, you know, flex their power. And that’s what they’re doing here. And it’s — and the rest of us have to suffer with no regulation. As Senator Klobuchar was talking about, these people are unfettered, the richest people in the world, and they’re unelected. That’s the key thing. No one ever elected Elon Musk. No one elected Mark Zuckerberg. They did elect Donald Trump, and so he can pick and choose who he wants, but this is — I’ve never — most power is implicit, right, powerful people are around rich people. This is explicit. So maybe that’s a good thing. We can see it in action, corruption in action."
