Executive actions are only one of the many topics. The others are police relations, the war on drugs and trying terror suspects and something her district has done more than any others. We start with pete williams. What are americans learning about Loretta Lynch today. Well the guitar track was not part of her testimony. As entertaining as it was. Youre right, i think that was the thing that republicans asked most about today, they kept coming around over and over again to the executives use of authority to delay deportation or removal for a number of people here in the country illegally and her answer was very nuanced. She didnt say what she thought of the policy she said what she thought of the departments legal analysis which supported the analysis and thought it was reasonable and some cases where the Justice Department told the president it couldnt do things which the Administration Made clear at the same. So she basically brushed aside questions about whether she agreed with the policy and said she thought the justification for it the governments justification for it was a reasonable one. And do you think that as shes looking good here as they go into a second day of hearings tomorrow . Yes. And to be clear, her testimony is over now. Day two will be people pro and con about the nomination. A lot of discussion about the Justice Department so far under the leadership of eric holder. And that was another team today. The republicans said weve had it up to here with eric holder and we hope you will be different. And she was asked about a republican and she said are you different from eric holder and she said yes, i am. And the Justice Departments overall policy here is to do whatever it can to support her nomination and there is not a lot of correcting the record or defense of some of the more controversy things up to this point. Peter williams from washington. Good to have you. Now to matt miller a former aide to former attorney general eric holder. Thank you for having me. And throughout this days proceeding, this looked more like an exit interview for eric holder than a Job Interview for Loretta Lynch and why is that and what does it mean . In a lot of ways republicans just cant quit eric holder. Theyve been obsessed with him for a long time and even with a nod in the room they continue to bang the drum. They have for a while. But when you look at how Loretta Lynch has answered the question today, she is a different person than eric holder. They have different backgrounds and different experiences and i think she answered a clearly cleared the bar in showing her qualifications and she has the poise and especially with some of the more difficult questions, really kind of knocked it out of the park. Well on one of those more difficult questions, pete was just laying out that it was kind of tricky for her to deal with questions about the president s actions on immigration. How did you think she did, matthew, in terms of balancing support for the president s policies while making clear that she was going to uphold the law . I think she walked the exact right line. It is not her job to have reviewed the policies in depth when she was a u. S. Attorney is she read the memos and they seemed reasonable. That is not the kind of answer that will satisfy a david vitter or ted cruz or someone on the far right but they will vote against her any way no matter what she says. So she showed a clear command of the law and support for what the administration has done legally while noting there are things as pete said that the Justice Department told the white house they cant do. Matthew, weve seen eric holder make a signature issue in the last couple of years between police and africanamerican communities and stepping up in instances where the president have felt the need to hang back. Is that a role you think Loretta Lynch will take after being confirmed as a attorney gem. I think it is. And i think you know she prosecuted the abner louisa case in brooklyn. And it is something she cares about and something any attorney general will focus on and our country needs to deal with and someone like her that has personal experience in prosecuting the cases and working with law enforcement, she brings the kind of experience to the table that is really ripe for this moment in time. And as krystal and josh pointed out, shes dealt with difficult topics immigration and ferguson. But despite that what is unusual in todays environment, there is a bipartisan craze for Loretta Lynch. Listen to both democrats and republicans speaking about her this morning. Shes smart, shes talented. Shes a prosecutors prosecutor. I sat through six Opening Statements by potential attorneys general and i want to tell you yours was the best. It is great to have you here. I appreciate an opportunity to have a good discussion i think in our office. One of the keenest legal minds our country has to offer, im impressed with your qualifications and i hope i can support your nomination. Like i said matthew, it is highly unusual to have to have folks from both sides of the aisle speaking like that about a nomination. Why is Loretta Lynch more popular with both parties than eric holder . Well part of it is coming into office with not as much as a record. When you go to eric holders confirmation Lindsey Graham said im ready to vote for you now. And he did get a lot of votes from republicans. But when you deal with the prosecuting terrorism and all of the things that doj has to deal with so you dont think it will last long. When you look at the last attorney generals every one since janet reno has been controversial. So i think shell start off with the honeymoon period but as attorney general you dont know what things will be controversial but it will matter no matter what. And from the respect of the Justice Department, some of the bad news from the perspective of the American Public and i would like your thoughts there wasnt debate over the legal National Security issues that are important. There was some talk about surveillance, but it was fleeting. Very little talk of what will be a big issue this year how the administration wants to get Legal Authority to prosecute a war against isis and whether that should include experience for a ground war in syria which is a legal and security question but one that neither the Party Senators want to get into with the attorney general. I would think today would be the time to do it. What do you make of that . I agree. It was surprising. You never quite know where senators are going to come from in the hearings. A number of the National Security issues if you look at the amount of time this committee has spent debating prosecuting in u. S. Courts of terrorists, it is the freedom fant issue before this committee in the last six years and the thing holder has gotten the most questions on barely came up at all. So immigration is such a divisive issue in the last few months clearly something the Republican Party is still angry about. They trained a lot trained a lot of their fire in that direction and a lot of other issues fell off the table. Matt miller thank you very much for your time today. And next talk about a big dig. The cleanup effort under way from the blizzard of 2015. Have you heard about it . There was some scene on the coast. We are live where there are hard hit areas. And there is more snow on the way if you believe us. All that you need to know as the cycle rolls on. Were at the table. It is january 28th. My sister had to come help. I dont like asking for help. I took tylenol but i had to take six pills to get through the day. So my daughter brought over some aleve. Its just two pills, all day and now, im back aleve. Two pills. All day strong, all day long. And now introducing aleve pm for a better am. [ male announcer ] take zzzquil and sleep like. The kids went to nanas house. For the whole weekend [ snoring ] [ male announcer ] zzzquil, the non habit forming sleep aid that helps you sleep easily and wake refreshed. Because sleep is a beautiful thing. How much money do you have in your pocket right now . I have 40 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all. Oh yea, thats coming down lets get some rocks, man. Health can change in a minute. So cvs health is changing healthcare. Making it more accessible and affordable with walkin medical care, no appointments needed and most insurance accepted. Minuteclinic. Another innovation from cvs health. Because health is everything. Winter weather records fell as hard as the snow did in new england. Worcester, massachusetts, received a whopping 34. 5 inches yes, nearly three feet. Today the ban was lifted and transit is operational and logan is back open. But things are not back to normal. We have Team Coverage beginning with Chris Pallone back in worcester. What can you tell us . Reporter it is a slow and steady amount of progress being made here in worcester, massachusetts. This is the second largest city but they the biggest snowstorm. As you mentioned, 34. 5 inches of snow, the previous record was 33 inches. They have 500 miles of roads and 16 miles of sidewalks that have to be cleared. Many streets have gotten at least one pass with a plow but they are not very passable so crews are going through and trying to clear up streets as best they k. There are 400 trucks out on the roads but that is not enough to do this in just a single day. So the school board here has already canceled school again for tomorrow. That will be the Third Straight day that school has been canceled here and then they will make a decision tomorrow about friday. But the big concern is safety of children driving safety for parents but when you look around and see the high snowdrifts pushed up by the plows and the wind here even if the sidewalk is shovelled, there might not be a path to get on to the street so pedestrians are walking in the street special a dangerous situation and they dont want children to be doing that. So school will not be open until it is safe to do so krystal. And chris, i know you are not too far from boston and besides all of that snow one of the most captivating images is this mysterious man shoveling the Boston Marathon finish line and i understand that has been solved. Was that you, chris . No it was not me. I cannot take responsibility though i have from boston and i probably would have done it myself if i were there. There were a lot of mysteries. The other day we had a guy in a yeti costume, but a guy was seen shoveling off the Boston Marathon finish line on boylston street. Since the Boston Marathon finish line has been a sign of boston strength and now that man has been discovered his name is chris lodani and he is a bartender close to the finish line and the magazine boston caught up with him and he said he thinks the finish line is a symbol of strength and he doesnt feel it should have been covered in snow. That is too cool. Chris pallone, thank you very much. And now to portland maine, where they picked up nearly two feet. And john yang is there. I understand the snow is still falling but the temperatures have not. It is still cold. It is a big difference from yesterday it. Was in the teens yesterday and the wind brought the windchill down to minus two. But if you look behind me life has returned pretty much to normal here in portland. Cars and traffic busy here in downtown portland. Things are normal since this morning. You look down the street and the canyon of plowed snow up on the sides. This street just 24 hours ago, you couldnt see half a block. The snow coming down at the rate of 24 inches an hour. But you can see the roads are clear. The crews were working on the streets all during the snowfall staying ahead of the falling snow. They were helped by the fact that people stayed off the roads. Even though there was no mandatory traffic ban in maine, as there was in the other states hit by this storm. When the official at the department of Public Safety was asked why that was, why there was no ban, he simply said were maine. Just a few minutes ago just a few minutes ago, a Portland Department of public works truck pulled up here at the stoplight and the driver leaned out and looked at our camera and the satellite truck and said you know, weve seen snow before. [ laughter ] so the residents there in portland, maine, not that impressed. John yang thank you for that report. And now to the airports where some 8,000 flights have been canceled during the duration of this blizzard. Adam reiss is at la guardia in new york for us. And adam are you getting the sense theyve maybe turned the corner there . Reporter weve definitely turned the corner here at la guardia. Operations at about 80 . Still more time. It is a process. It takes time. Maybe another day or two before we are up to 100 at full speed. Now flights to boston have been canceled but flights to dallas atlanta have gone off on time. But days like today are slow. Im joined by val and keith are from boston and they took of this day. So what did you do . We got some clothing and we took advantage and there was no people on the streets. And the airport was not a problem. They gave us a next day out. No. It was fun. The best advice is to call the airline before you leave home and come to the airport. Adam riess, thank you so much. So the question is are you ready for the next storm. Apparently it is coming. Dominica davis, tell us it is not so. No. Im sorry. It is not just one, it is two. The clipper system will arrive tomorrow through the great lakes but for new england it is thursday into from into friday. It is drying out but we just saw the live shot from maine and the clearing in bangor. And here is a live shot. And this is a look. This is a 48hour of snowfall and this is a clipper system. And here is wednesday morning and here is the output. So snow spreads across the great lakes and into new england and by friday it could be 12 in parts of new england. That is not a major snowfall but it will cause some problems and temperatures below freezing through the weekend. So that is going to mean a lot of ice. Now, for the weekend, this is what were looking at. A brand new storm that will be coming in and it will come on sunday into monday. So here is a look at this system that moves in and this could definite by be your Superbowl Party pooper for the people having company over. This could cause problems because sunday night into monday it looks like it will be that system. Right now it could be an icemaker or a snowmaker well have to wait to find out. But either way it is a problem for a lot of people up and down the east coast, especially in the new england area. All right. Well we are arent you glad i worked in party pooper into my forecast. Yes. We were definitely hoping no Super Bowl Party poopers. But thanks for working that in as always. And up next, a new fed outlook that is moving markets. And president obama is about to say goodbye to outgoing sect chuck hagel. There is a lot more news to get to here in the cycle. [ male announcer ] at northrop grumman, weve always been at the forefront of advanced electronics. Providing technology to get more detail. Detect hidden threats. See the whole picture. Process critical information and put it in the hands of our defenders. Reaching constantly evolving threats before they reach us. Thats the value of performance. Northrop grumman. In the new the cycle today. The historic friendship nine have been vindicated from the Civil Rights Movement in 1961. The convictions were overturned by a South Carolina judge today. They pioneered the jail no bail of the time. And at the the cycle well focus on the good. The fed issued the first note of the year saying Interest Rates will hold steady for now. And there is blockbuster earnings news from apple, 18 billion last quarter. That is not only a record. But they are rich enough to pay every american 556. And super bowl super security. Jeh johnson arrived to tour the site of the big game. Helicopters and xray machines deployed along the u. S. Mexico border have been brought in to assist with the effort. And you can watch the commercials and the blacklist this sunday on your local nbc station. Super bowl security a big job and it is one of the issues facing the white house this week. At the top of the hour, the president offers a formal goodbye to chuck hagel. You can watch his comments live here on msnbc. And now the administration decided to back off the socalled college accounts that came from heavy moving from democrats and republicans. And good news this week obama care enrollment numbers have now topped 9. 5 million, achieving the administrations goals that were set earlier and the cbo is now saying that signing up through insurance through the exchanges is about 20 less expensive than first projected. For more on that and all of todays politics, we have david straus from talking points memo. How are you . Good. How are you doing, ari . Good. I want to start with the president obama news if you have watched the news you have heard about the website but not have heard this. 9. 5 million enrolled now. And as obama care is out of the headlines, broke care as a Health Care Policy proceeds numerically and going into a Supreme Court where there is a statutory standing of the law, how do you think these numbers will catch up with the politics . I think it has in a way, actually. There are a number of republican governors who are accepting the obama care money or the money through the Affordable Care act and using that to reform medicaid in their states and i think they will see more of that. They are not admitting it right now. They are saying these are changes to the program but it is something they are going into effect and they are more and more having to make acrobatic verbal leaps to just sort of explain what they are doing. I want to get your thoughts on another big trip next month in march. Benjamin netanyahu being invited by republicans to come ought speak. Im wondering who is winning out of this big move because Benjamin Netanyahu is getting blowback with the elections coming back up and the Senate Democrats are holding back because they turned off on the politics of this and i try to imagine this being the president of china, how does this how does this say about how we do diplomacy here in america. It came off as a bitter move to go around the normal avenues of inviting netanyahu and circumventing the president there. It is hard to see who is winning, but it is easier to see it is not going as well as it could have for boehner. It is a high light of how there are tensions between bibi and boehner on there. And for a while there have been tensions or a little bit of bitterness between the two leaders, between obama and netanyahu here. And i thought he was going to say it is not sure who is winning but it is not benefiting boehner. And so the president withdrawaling his proposal a week after he made it. And the way it is structured now, it is focusing on people that are rich and so lets replace this with Something Else for middle income families. Why was this approach. Because of the 529 within this and the entire picture of the democrats is were going to focus on inequality and poverty and there are critics in the party, highlevel critics including nancy pelosi and steny hoyer who were not on board with the change and the Obama Administration didnt want to have internal fights. They like when republicans are squabbling with each other and they dont want there to be any sort of similar fight on their side of the aisle. Daniel let me ask you about another piece of news this week. The coke brothers through their politically affiliated networks there was plans they plan to spend 889 889 million and that is more than the rnc and counterparts combined spent in 212 a massive amount of money, are democrats able to counter that . Probably not. And this next election is going to be groundbreaking in terms of spending any way. Whoever gets the nominations are probably going to spend about a billion. But with this koch money, the republican nominee will have an extra ump and it is hard for democrats to counter that. There is just no counter part on the left or counterpart billionaire who can match the koch brothers. Daniel on the flip side are the republicans getting uncomfortable that essentially this third party, yes, is conservative but outside of the Republican Party that has been set up and has a huge influence in terms of republican president ial politics. I think you will see them morantsy on this more antsy on this going forward. More on the president ial level rather than just state and house. The Republican Leadership doesnt live divided internal battles between the conservative wing of the party and the more establishment wing which is what we saw in 2014 so the hope is that this money will not go to fuel future fights like that. Things are not looking so good on that front at this point. People talk about a third party a lot. This may be a defacto third party but not the one everybody has in mind. Daniel straus thank you so much. And war time in afghanistan, as told by the former director and station chief Robert Griner is here with us, up next. Ring ring progresso i cant believe im eating bacon and rich creamy cheese before my sisters wedding well its only 100 calories, so youll be ready for that dress uhhuh. You dont love the dress . I love my sister. 40 flavors. 100 calories or less. I dont know my credit score. Thats really important. I mean i dont know my credit score. Dont you want to buy a house. Like, ever . You should probably check out credit karma, its free. Credit . Karma . Free . Credit karma. Really free credit scores. After the 9 11 attacks, it took the u. S. Just 88 days to put the taliban on the run and drive them out of afghanistans capital city. And as of december the war is officially over for the u. S. But it is now looking like it may take generations to keep the peace. Civilian deaths reached a peak in 2014 and the administration ended in peril. And the recent democratic report on cia interrogation tactics revealed that hurt american credibility at home and abroad. Our next guest drafted the plans after 9 11 and writes in a new book 88 days to kandahar a cia biography and former director of the cia Counter Terrorism center Robert Griner. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having us. To take us back to day 88 when the tide had turned and we were able to push out the taliban from the capital city. In that moment did you expect us to be right back here and what is your evaluation of where we are at . The 88 days were shorter than i thought they would be. I cant believe how lucky we were. I think in all humility i think we followed a wise plan in terms of prosecuting the first war and we were also very lucky and far more successful than i ever endeared to hope and it caused me and other to push aside the concerns we had, with the british and the soviets before them. And we allowed the intervening period before between 20022005 to get away from us. From 2005 until the present when the u. S. Has withdrawn from afghanistan, we did repeat the mistakes of the soviets, we took over it was an americanled war not an afghanled war, and nato spending 100 100 billion a year and overwhelmed this small country and the effects and results were something not sustainable by the afghans and that is something we are dealing with right now and afghanistan is back in the teeth of a civil war and once again we are in a situation where we could have large parts of the country that have slipped from responsible control and are essentially an International Terrorist safe haven. You have so much information here. The question is is homeland accurate . Im just going to have to watch this bloody thing. You only watch the first season but the Second Season isnt as good but the first season is good. Im told the Second Season is about me. There are no spoilers. You are terry mathison. Get to me on that. And you talk about what you could see and not see in afghanistan. You write the taliban started with moderate goals, not something we think about the tabl taliban. But they tried to stem the crimes and corruption that war lords in the area were persecuting and that endeared them to the population but yet over time you explain that sharia became a weapon and they couldnt work with karzai and not goals and how do you deal with something that is political and militant in their tactics . The taliban is a Tricky Organization to deal with. As you just said they start out as a religious movement. Afghanistan was in complete chaos as of 1994 and the aftermath of the soviet withdrawal and now they were fighting amongst themself and little fiefdoms and people were ruling over them and abusing them and that the taliban was an antidote to that. They came in and said look what these people are doing is against islam and were going to fight against it. And so responsible elements and society and businessmen and anybody who wanted to have a decent life in the southern part of afghanistan flocked to the taliban. They made the gains after 1994 not so much because the force of arms but because the people came over to their side. They were an antidote to the ills that had befallen the ills of the country before that. Before that was mission creek. So it wasnt enough to try to set afghanistan on a correct islamic path they wanted to rule the country and the members of the Northern Alliance that comprised of ethnic minorities within afghanistan, unlike the near majority pash toons, they were continuing to fight a civil war which was still continuing at the time of 9 11 and we were able to seize upon for part of the war, the war in the north. So in your answer to abby just a moment ago, you said the war got away with us and we repeated the mistakes of the soviets and now they are back to this essentially terrorist safe haven. And with all of our money and lives an time what did we accomplish in afghanistan . I think the jury is still out on that but i fear the verdict is that weve achieved very little of lasting effect. At least in the southern and eastern parts of the country. And now i think the challenge for us is going to make sure that the taliban is not able once again to roll back and affect the Northern Alliance to seize kabul and to reassert its authority over the country. That would be an absolute disaster. That is what we have to keep from happening. I also wish we would be more muscular. At the same time were helping the Counter Insurgency we should be helping those in the south willing to oppose the taliban and that is what we did to win the first war and that is what we should be on not making it an american war. Not to make it an american war. To help those in the same aim of ours. What do you hope the public takes from this account of your experiences and what you learned . Initially i set out to write an adventure story. You Start Talking out about day, 7th of december 88 days were up and taliban was driven out of kandahar. That was an extraordinary sequence in history. Was it victory . We thought it was at the time. And it was a victory that we and the afghans were not able to sustain. But at the time we thought we had won a stunning victory. And it was an amazing story and i wanted to be able to tell the story. Since then weve learned the rest of the story, if you will. And i think if there is a lesson to be learned from that it is that we need to work with other elements on the ground. Were seeing similar situations in yemen, in iraq in syria. We cant take over those countries and make them in our own likeness or force people who are otherwise inclined to do what we want them to do. We have to work with welcomes that are willing to work with us. And before you go, we want to hit some politics. The cia has been in the middle of politics lately. They are viewed as hawkish even though they dont have politics positions. Do you think there is only a wing of cia speaking out when you look at the torture and the over sight, do you think the American Public has a misunderstanding of what the cia does and it is supposed to be neutral in the policy questions about what we do abroad . The cia is has been a tool of the president. And i dont care what president you are talking about. If you are talking about a conservative hawkish republican or somewhat more leftist, if you will, president. Jimmy carter made heavy use of the cia. He was the president when we started the antijihad out of afghanistan. President obama has made extensive use of the cia. All president s do. So at the end of the day, what the president and the American People need to know is the cia will follow its legal orders and do what the president needs them to do. They need to make sure it is legal and refer to the highest authorities in the government competent to make those judgments. It is easy to say things on the campaign trail and once they get into office they realize it is a different reality. So night to have you here. You have to watch homeland. Robert thank you for being with us. Shes compared herself to steve jobs but what is saving her job . What does the future hold for yahoo . That is up next. Vere crohns disease. Its tough, but ive managed. But managing my symptoms was all i was doing. So when i finally told my doctor he said humira is for adults like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. And that in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. Everybody knows that. Well, did you know words really can hurt you . What. . Jesse dont go jesse. No im sorry daisy, but im a loner. And a loner gotta be alone. Heee yawww geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. Jesse . It is a big week for marissa mare. She announced to sell off the commerce giant alibaba. To a large extent yahoo is alibaba. They are worth 40 40 billion and 38 38 billion is alibaba. They tried to turn yahoo into the profitable power house it was so it can thrive. They have made hires like katie couric for the media company. How is that working . Here is nicholas carson. The last third of the book is how does Marissa Mayer do in how shareholders Pay Attention to the core business but Something Else so she could do whatever she needed to do and the answer is she didnt do enough that the shareholders wanted her to take the proceeds of the alibaba to invest in her plan in yahoo and they wanted her to give the money back. That alibaba money. And you write about the you write about the fact that the company has always declined. It is one worth virtually nothing. It is entirely natural. It is unlike that mayer can reverse that inevitability unless he creates the next ipod. All great Breakthrough Companies plateau and then eventually decline. You obviously care about it. You wrote all about it. The public is still interested. Why . It starts with mayer. She was pregnant when she took the job. Shes worth 7 million. How does that happen . A 22yearold who joins google and leaves and goes and runs a 30 billion company. Can this superstar executive turn around this company . Do you think that shes faced added scrutiny just because of her gender . She was sort of hailed a feminist icon when she came in then she got rid of the flexibility to work at home. Absolutely thats the case. Theres no doubt people women and men, resent a powerful woman more than they resent a powerful man. You talked about her feminism. She calls herself she says im not a feminist. I dont believe in that term yet she is clearly a feminist icon. This is envogue vogue. Shes staring into the camera. Heres a woman when she signed her 200 Million Contract to join yahoo shows up in a tenyearold bmw. Thats so passe. Theres these fancy new york people. Do you want us to send a team to google to clean out your office . No, my mom is going to help me out. She is full of contradictions. Theres the anecdote about her building the fancy nursery in the office. She tells people they cant work from home anymore. Outside of yahoo, people were upset, especially when you talk about the fact she created her own nursery. Thats actually a great idea. Problem solved. How were you able to put this book together and get a sense of who she was because she didnt great to talk to you about this book . A quick guess at what she didnt participate. Id have to guess. Why was she not willing to talk to you . Maybe she thought it wasnt Mission Accomplished yet. She views the world in black and white. She was at google back in the day and she was a meeting. Shes walking out a colleague and her colleague says to her, it was like mom and dad were fighting in there. Couple months later, the wall street journal says it was like mom and dad were fighting in there. Marissa mayer reads that article and turns in her friend. If shes going to work with you on a book, its going to be her book. So im just speculateing. She might not agree with everything you have written about it. Probably not. What would you advise Marissa Mayer to do now . What is next for yahoo at this point . Is there a way to save the company . Was there anything else she could have done or is it time to merge with aol and be done with it . They have just done a spinout, so yahoo is a much smaller company. There are going to be more relevant on a relative basis. A billion dollars in cash savings matters now because yahoo is a much smaller company. She could also excel as some kind of product executive. Explain what you mean by that. Theres this feeling we dont make enough stuff anymore. We definitely dont make it here. There arent a ton of jobs coming out of digital. What do you mean when you say product executive . Someone who can make an app that appears in the app store that is very, very popular. Maier mayer did that at google. She made google maps. Can she take yahoo mail and invent the new snap chat . I was just looking at the list of the top 100 in the apple app store. I couldnt find one that seemed to be a New Invention from a big company. Is she different than how she is portrayed out in public . You have a better sense of how people perceive her in private meetings . She is this person who is electrifying. In a meeting, she cant look you in the eye. Shes looking off in the corner. Shes abrupt. That doesnt make her different than Mark Zuckerberg or larry page or steve jobs. She is just a very different person on the outside than she appears to be. It is one of the reasons i wrote the book. Thank you so much for coming in. That does it today for the cycle. Moking with chantix. My children always wanted me to quit smoking but i resigned myself to the fact that it wasnt going to work. But chantix helped me do it.
