peter did a great job there. of course he hit hard this idea there has been word of an exodus at the vice president's office, particularly among her communications team and the white house press secretary was talking about how particularly the most high profile exit is symone sanders and she was first on the campaign and will always be part of the biden/harris family. but she cited it was years that she had been. the term for everybody right now is months as staff for kamala harris. if there was previous service on the campaign psaki is counting that. a lot to get to. it ties into where we're going next, where the president is on all of the questions about this variant. you heard jen psaki confirming the second case of the omicron variant. she gave some specific details that have been reported on. confirmation from the white house, too. she said that this was a person in minnesota according to the minnesota public health who was vaccinated and found to be positive of covid over the holiday. the thanksgiving holid

thanks, peter. steve: can i ask peter a question? peter, are you still there. >> i'm here. steve: looking at the white house lawn behind you. you sent out to the company last night along our email chain that apparently there are new pets coming to the white house lawn? >> yeah, there is. they had to send the troubled major biden who had been biting some white house staffers off to live with family friends. they got a new puppy named commander. going to get a cat in january. normally that's very pedestrian news. there is possibly reason to read more into it because jen psaki said a couple months ago that they were going to save the cat announcement for a bad news day. and so. steve: today's the day. brian: peter, i have an additional question. would you say at the end you said that, you know, they said at the time that they thought you didn't wear a mask when you are vaccinated at the time. and that's what kamala harris in an interview said we did not -- we were not -- we did not see delta coming. and anthony fauci came out sunday and was asked about that who is right? you c

and capital is stepping up, as well. >> mike: peter, do you think big tech should be punished or broken up or are you solely focused on creating an alternative? >> i'm an entrepreneur, i'm focused heavily on creating an alternative. i would say also i did attend harvard law school, i do have a j d, so i understand illegal things, as well. what i would caution congress about, and americans, d.c. is going to be the solution. the reality is that big tech is pretty much in bed with big government through its lobbying. when government gets involved in general, in my opinion it's usually a bad thing in business. because it ends up stifling entrepreneurship and creates moats for incumbent businesses by the regulations they've set up. these modes are difficult for entrepreneurs to step up and challenge those existing incumbents in big tech. >> mike: peter, thanks for your time today. my best to folks they are in the live music capital of the world. >> happy new year, and we've got this, mike. thank you. >> mike: interesting conversation, gillian. your thoughts? >> gillian: it was. it strikes me
