Youre gonna miss me when im gone. Sean, i have so many questions. If you go, who will not answer them . Youre gonna miss me when im gone when im gone glor we begin this week with health care. On thursday, after a month of closed door negotiations among a hand full of republicans, the Senate Leadership released a draft of their version of repeal and replace. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell is pushing for a vote next week. Joining me from washington is kelsey snell from woech. And ezra klein, editor in chief of vox. The bill has had more than a day to soak in on the hill. How is it sitting . Well, at this point, the big question is can Mitch Mcconnell get to 50 votes . Thats how many he needs to get this to pass. Theyre using superb budget rules so they need a bare majority of 51 votes to pass. They can call in backup from mike pence to vote one vote. They have 52 republicans in want senate and they can only lose two. Right now we are looking at about four conservatives who have said they dont support the bill nonetheless current form but they left open a lot of wiggle room so they could potentially get themselves to yes with a few concession. The real question at this point is what will happen with moderates, like senator Susan Collins of main, and Lisa Murkowski of alaska, who have not yet committed one way or another. Ezra, the four she mentioned, and heller and flake, Mitch Mcconnell has to do this dance with everyone. He does have to do this dance with everyone. And the question is what are different peoples policy bottom lines. Its important to step back and look at the bill in context. You have the moderates saying they should do more to protect medicate caid. This bill actually over time has deeper medicaid cuts than the house bill. The house bill over time put medicaid on a growth rate on how much medical costs grow. Its actually a much deeper cut to medicaid, but the cuts dont begin for longer. What youre getting is more plausible political deniability and less policy protection. Why, if you said you want to protect medicaid that would be your bargain, i dont exactly know. On the other hand, you have the conservatives is what they wanted was the architecture of Affordable Care act gone the regulations, the entitlements, the guarantees, the way it interacts with the medical system. What is interesting about the way the bill works it retains most of the architecture from the Affordable Care panth it ends up in a little bit of a place where liberals dont like it because it doesnt get what the Affordable Care act gets done, done. And the conservatives are not quite there, the building of the Affordable Care arct platform on which it stood, is still around, and in the future the democrats could come back and refill it with money. In theory, there is still a lot of policy disagreement here. But if republicans just want to pass something, well, this is something. Glor it was a rocky road for the ridesharing unit uber this week. Cofounder and c. E. O. Travis kalanick was forced to step down after a revolt by the companys board of directors. So whats behind this board room drama and whats next for ride sharing . I spoke to max chafkin of bloomberg businessweek, Derek Thompson of the atlantic and mike isaac of the new york times. This was pretty stunning in the sense Travis Kalanick, the c. E. O. , had full control of the company in almost every way. He was c. E. O. He had voting control. And he had board control. So he had to be the one to decide to step away, and its something that was pretty much unthinkable a few months ago. Glor derek it will be led by someone, least for now, other than Travis Kalanick. But Travis Kalanick was and is uber. Exactly right. Travis is as responsible for the bottom line, rest new, as the culture. In many ways the revenue came out of culture, this incredible relentless focus on improving the product, making sure it was as good as possible, growing, growing, growing, and allowing some of the top reformers in the country get away with that with what we now know was heinous behavior. Glor the company is still losing money. They have big battles in many sphaeps they have been pouring money from venture capitalists for years and years subsidizing every ride we take while pushing their drivers to accept less and less money, and the fact theyre still not making money is trouble. Glor the whole tipping thing has been a huge point of discussion. The tipping thing is actuallyally funny because for years, Travis Kalanick actually was the sort of weird stopping point on driver tipping. I had talked to people inside the company who said theyd essentially built the mechanism already, but for some sort of philosophical reason travis thought it added more friction into it. But it was kind of indicative of how uber really treated their drivers for years now. They sort of saw them as a dispensable disposable labor force that they can churn through quickly and always sort of find more supply of new people by just spending more marketing dollars to get more drivers. I think at this point they realized theres a finite number of people who are willing to work for this wage, and so we need to actually treat our drivers a little bit better and maybe well have better retention over the long run. I think theyre starting to figure that out now. Drivers are really mad. They built up a lot of bad will over the years. I imagine it will take a long time for them to actually believe some of ubers overtures now. Glor in the meantime, max, they have all this the folks who are now running the company have to get up to speed no pun intended and there are, like, a dozen important vacancys. The entire Senior Management team has basically turned over, over the past, i dont know, six months or so. And obviously, most importantly, a c. E. O. Who will be willing to step into this, you know, arguably toxic environment with this very aggressive, strongminded former chief executive and cofounder, you know, kind of hovering over them. Its hard to imagine who is going to be willing to take on that challenge. Im sure theyll find somebody but i dont think it will be as easy as maybe some people imagine. Glor i dont know that this has been discuss aid lot, but steve jobs was force out at apexpel then triumphantly returned. Travis kalanick has a lot to deal with right now, but its not like youre ripping all the Travis Kalanick roots out of uber right away. You have an entire company that is made in one mans image, and on the one hand, he was instrumental in growing out this revolution in getting around, a 70 billion company, most valuable private company in the world. But at the same time, because the Company Seems to so clearly have been made his image, it allowed some of the dark side of Travis Kalanick to be represented throughout the company in ways that were hard to take out. And i think that was part calculus here in order to extract the toxicity of the workplace, you sort of of have to cut the head off the snake. Glor jack ma is the founder and executive chairman of alley bawb athe giant internet marketplace. Now he is focused on harnessing americas Small Business to meet the demands of chinas exploding middle class, the largest in the world. Charlie interviewed him this week. The world changes so fast. I worry a lot, the Artificial Intelligence may take a lot of jobs away. And i worry about if we do not move. Fast enough, a lot of if we do not innovate enough, if we do not spend enough time giving simple, easy product application, technology, for Small Business, most of Small Business cannot survive in the next 10 years. If the Small Business cannot survive, we cannot survive. Rose what does Small Business need to survive . Today, i would say next 10, 20 years, the Small Business, no matter where you are, if you do not try to globalize your business through internet, you may not have a business opportunity. Its not like a oh, you know, i can i do local, local business in the future is going to be more and more competitive. Think about it. How can you sell products across the board. Your products, your chocolate, people in your village already know about it. But the people in china, they love these things. Think about how can you sell your products across the world. Rose i mean, you gave a speech in which you talked about the warning for decades of pain unless you recognize the coming advent of Artificial Intelligence, robots, the whole range of things that could challenge how you had been doing business in the past. Yup. Rose you also have mention retirement. Yeah. Rose jack mah at what, 50something. Thinking about retirement. Yes, i have been preparing you said you have been preparing since you were 40, thinking about retirement. When i Left University i was 30 years old. And my president of my university said, jack, one day you want to come back, any time, you are welcome. I said, president i will not come back in 10 years. Of the so i thought when im 40, i can go back to teach. But when im 40, oh, my god, life was so tough, so tough. My Company Almost in big trouble. So i said i should not leave. And i said when im 45 i should retire. When im 45 i cannot stop it. And then i start to prepare, saying people say, jack, you are the next bill gates. I said, i cannot compete with bill gates but i can compete with the bill gates who can retire earlier. laughter glor in the 1870s, the osage tribe was driven off its land in kansas to northeastern oklahoma. It was later discovered the new reservation was sitting on some of the largest oil deposits in the united states. The osage quickly became the richest people per capita in the world and also became targets for murder. David grann s new book. I heard about the story from an historian, and i made a trip out to osage territory in northeast oklahoma when i first heard about it, and i went to the osage museum. And on the wall was this large panoramic photograph. It was taken in 1924. It showed members of the try, along with of the tribe along with white settlers but a portion of the photograph was missing and i asked the Museum Director what happened to the missing portion of the photograph and she said it contained a figure so flightening she decided to remove it. She pointed to the panel and said the devil was standing right there. The book grew out of finding who the figure was and led me to one of the most sinister crimes in u. S. History. It was the systematic targeting of osage one by one for their oil money. Rose to become one of the biggest business in the world. The chief said we should move to what was indian territory then. It would later become oklahoma. And he said we should move there because the land is rocky, it is infertile, and the white man considers it worthless and my people will finally be happy in this land. So the osage migrated to this territory. They purchased it. They migrated there it was about the size of delaware and this seemingly, was sitting on the largest deposits of oil and they became the wealthiest people per capita in the world. Rose how many were there there were only 2,000. They received what would be worth today 400 million. They lived in terra cotta mansions. They had servants, many of whom were white. All this belied longstanding racial stereotypes. It was set at the time where one american might own a car, each osage owned 11 of them. Rose and then what happened . And then they began to be targeted . Rose who was behind it. What made the crimes so deeply sinister was the only way to get the money was through inheritance so it involved people marrying into families, white settlers, marrying into families, pretending to love these people, sometimes even having children with them, while systematically plotting to kill them. By 1923, there were officially more than two dozen osage murders, the unofficial death toll was actually much higher. And it was then the Osage Tribal Council issued a resolution pleading for federal authorities to step in and the case of taken up by an obscure grant of the justice department, the bureau of investigation. We know it today, later renamed the federal bureau of investigation, or the f. B. I. Rose and what happened to the money . Sadly, millions and millions of dollars were swindled during these crimes, during this criminal conspiracy. And a lot of the oil gradually was depleted. And so some of the osage still receive oil money today, but its not the millions that they once did. Rose the director oliver stones latest sprct now running on showtime. The putin interviews a distillation of roughly 20 hours of wideranging conversations between the russian president and the director. It was 20 hours with them over two years, four different visits. And its it was a massive amount of material to org. It ended up being four hours because i basically, i felt that was a natural pattern. It started in about 2000, when he becomes president. And theres quite a thick history in there, where you pick up in 2000 with u. S. Relations, and it works its way forward up until the 2007 munich speech, and then it ends up, of course, with ukraine and syria. And post, that a new crisis develops with the election. So one thing after another terminating right now, in this period there will be another cries, im sure, but write now its as pretty bleak as its ever been in terms of temperature. Rose did you see yourself as a diswrrlist, as an ally, or as someone once said, a fool . How did you see your role there . Well, he knows im a m a movie director. And i approached him as such. He knew some of my work as a filmmaker. And we asked for a longer interview. It started like that. We never knew how defined it would be. It was sort of a looseygoosy arrangement. If he liked it and wanted to continue we would continue. Rose there has been some criminal, as you know, criticism, asun, not changing enough, and you must have a point of view on that because you chose the technique you thought would be most effective in accomplishing what your goals were. You catch more flies with hone than with vinegar. When you see somebody for 20 hours in front of a camera, as you well know, its hard to you do see character. You get the sense of the person. And asking him the questions i did over that period of time, you have to realize i get i get a very strong view of him, but im listening, im watching. I wasnt arguing the issues with him. The issues he knows his way, and the americans have their viewpoint. I dont want to get in between that. Rose you know, he has said the worst thing that he experienced, he thought the worst thing in the 20th century for russia was what happened with the fall of the russian empire. I know the statement. He said that was one of the worst things in the 20th century. Rose fair enough. One of the worst things. Thats been used against him, too. Im not using it against him, oliver. Im trying to ask you, how did it affect his objective now that he has the power he has. Does he want to speak two the 23 Million People no longer in russia because they went other places that now surround russia. No, no. Its a tragedy the way it happened. It could have been better handled. Those years are past. I never sensed any desire for a greater empire at all. He explains it very lucidly to me on the crimea situation. We spent some time on that, to make sure that audiences understood the way he sees that. Rose there is also this its meddling in the u. S. Election. What does he say . You saw it. Rose yeah. I pressed him on it. He denies it completely. Rose end of story. In the film, yeah. He denies they do not meddle, he says, in domestic policies of other countries. I couldnt be happy in the city at night cant see the stars for the neon lights sidewalks dirty and the rivers worse underground trains all run in reverse. Nobody here can dance like me everybody is clapping on the one and the three am i the last of my kind . Am i the last of my kind glor Jason Isa
