of course, laura. but the point about the hotel. one of the things that is unusual about donald trump to his credit, he's a businessman. he came from the hotel industry. all the laws and rules are set up to make it easy for career politicians to stay in government and you never had a conflict because you never own anything in the real world. so what that people are staying at his hotel. he's not making the profits from it. he's divorced from the company as the president. but so what if they are making money from it. i want people from the private sector to be able to run for office. >> let me respond. i'm all for capitalism. i ran a bank in 49 states and we gave to the rnc. we gave to the dnc. so i have no problem with donald trump doing amazingly well. ubs, you know, did business with donald trump. we're talking about today and we're talking about did the inauguration committee do something illegal or not? >> there's nothing wrong with him spending money at his hotel. >> am i saying anything is wrong with that? i'm saying that's wh
