We were doing the story about an opposition type newspaper in istanbul. What it was like to run a newspaper that felt free to criticize the regime when so many other papers were being cracked down on and what it was like to be in that position. And the coup started suddenly our story took on a different dimension. It turns out the editor we were writing about is one of the people on their list of people they dont like post to. Postcoup theyre cracking down more on opponents. Theyve never been great with journalism. Its been tough to have a free press in the country. They basically is not a free press in turkey. A complicated situation. We talk about how for the press is really complicated. The guy we so to focus the story on is no longer in turkey. You approach the story in a different way. You were looking at the role of the opposition. Just been a matter of days but how has that changed . Ellen i think theyre cracking down on many different aspects of society. They are putting judges for targeting list they are putting judges on lists, teachers. Using it to consolidate the and preventogan another coup. You look at pokemon go. This phenomenon. Yet but a promise our department that i will. Nintendo, so late to get into the mobile gaming space. This is a company that did not do it entirely on its own. Ellen the company that i sleep developed the game was niantic and they are a spinoff of google. The people who run this company had worked on Location Technology at google. Google earth kind of projects, that have translated well into this game. It is sort of son of google kind of thing. About theant to talk features section. You guys talk about donald trump in his support in Silicon Valley. Specifically teal. Specifically peter teal. Ellen sort of his own kind of guy in Silicon Valley. ,e mentioned a statistic Something Like 70 of donors. Peter teal is a libertarian and he is supporting trump. Spoke at the convention. He is not the sort of trump supporter you would expect. He is an immigrant. He is gay. He has not been a traditional republican and he finds his own way. We talk about why he would be interested in supporting trump and why this might be good for his business and various interests. David what about this public platform for him . I think about the role he is been playing behind the scenes. We know of his political beliefs. Very prominent role for him speaking on the stage at the rnc. Ellen it is. Some people suggest he actually wants to embrace chaos right now. Trumpts to bring our own and sort of white the slate clean in washington. He is ahaos disruptor in the extreme. It is part of his disruption strategy. We talk about the way he plays chess. Very accomplished chess player but he uses a move that only grandmasters use because he thinks it will shake of the game. Best as thewn godfather of the paypal mafia. Founded paypal in the late 1990s. The key figures toSilicon Valley are tied peter. The thing about him, he is sort of on another planet ideologically from those people. Your average tech person is sort of a mix of socially liberal and libertarian like a lot of business leaders. Libertarianadical makes him kind of the curious fit for donald trump but also just a curious fit in Silicon Valley. Where some of his views . The most interesting thing from the past week, he said he is proud to be get a. , loge Republican Party cabin republicans controlled the statement shortly before saying the platform was the most antigay there had ever been and the fact that peter thiel gets up and says im proud to be getting, that is interesting proud to begin a, that is interesting. He is also promarijuana. Not the usual thing for a Republican Party convention speaker. It is interesting to have someone you see this crazy mishmash of things he is known. Himer media in 2007 out of or sort of published the fact that he was out to certain members in his inner circle. He sort of went away quietly and years later it was revealed he had been secretly funding these lawsuits that ultimately led to gawker cost bankruptcy. At once this supersmart intellectual but hes also an operator. I think when we look at this speech europe to see it in both terms. He is putting forth his agenda but is also trying to protect his power in a lot of ways. How does he feel about immigration . How does that job with the Republican Party . On taxes he is sort of a doctrinaire he libertarian. Immigration is a tougher one. Techally speaking, companies are more dependent on immigration than any other industry. The h one b visa which is controversial in some circles is extremely possible extremely popular in Silicon Valley. Carol the Tech Community often avoids politics. The past few years we have seen a lot of Tech Companies. Bigtime lobbying. Theyve got more involved. People arenally tech proudly a political. It makes sense when you think of the fact that for like 20 years Tech Companies did not have a lot to do with government. In the past few years the whole tech world has moved into the regulated spear. A company regulated spear. Their main customers are governments. How did his colleagues in Silicon Valley feel about it is an off grid it is an awkward question. Donald trump, as he is in other industries is a polarizing figure. In Silicon Valley he rankles people. Silicon valley is touchyfeely. As donald trump my call it, politically correct. Hiel cost support of him it seems to me people were pretty close to him have not talked about it. David the Republican National convention. We talked to ron vargas about creating the cover. Talk about the decision to go black and white against this kind of fleshy backdrop. Rob the photographer we hired was great. Quite super deliberate. Also something about black and white, makes it little more timeless and makes it more iconic. In certain respects kind of t know carol what was the message you guys were trying to get acrosscarol . Rob there was not a deliberate intention behind it. I think we just want people to read into it however they want to read into it. The process this year is a lot different. Maybe people always say that. I guess it is up for interpretation. Dont want to impose our own ideas on the color. David we associate right with republicans and blue with democrats. A peach . Rob a fleshy tone, maybe 10. Maybe a trump tone. Not tos very deliberate see red or blue or anything that had any kind of connotation behind it. This is a bit of a weird color admittedly but we thought it paired nicely with the black and white and did not lead people to think we chose this because it is a republican color. Carol how many different photos did you guys look at . Rob maybe five or so. We do have a picture of trump on the inside. Something about this photo stood up to us because it is a somewhat diverse crowd. The woman in the center is holding a trump sign and looking admiringly. It captured this very special moment from the people who are a part of this. Over all the personalities and trump and things like that but sometimes you forget these people are there because they are being supported by their base. Something interesting about that. David thanks so much. Carol the mormon millionaire working to build a utopian community in vermont. David walmarts plan to bring jobs back to the u. S. Is off to a slow start. Carol Kaiser Permanente designs and automated hospital of the future. David welcome back. Carol you can find us on radio channel 119. One fm in washington dc and a. M. 960 in the bay area. David walmart discovers it is not that easy to bring back thousands of manufacturing jobs the u. S. Former u. S. Head of operations at walmart came out and said they feel whats good for the u. S. Economy is good for walmart. We are all just sort of climbing out of the recession at this point. They were going to spend 250 billion more over the next 10 years on goods that were made in america. Carol thats a lot. About halflmart has a trillion dollars in sales. Over 10 years, 250 billion dollars. It is a lot of money and no other company has come out and done Something Like this. They said the reason they were doing it is that they felt like they wanted a strong u. S. Economy. They wanted job creation in the u. S. That was good for the business. It also is good pr for them. They are making a big push. Retailer were the go back how many years, everything was made in america. Shannon the great irony of all of this. Walmart has been blamed for helping the wto, nafta and other things in china they have done. Famous for really pushing companies to lower costs. Pennyating over a p and that is what pushed companies to go overseas and move production to china to meet the demands of walmart. The irony here is walmart has been blamed for sending hundreds of thousands of jobs outside the , really here they are the only retailer making a major push to try to bring made in the usa products back. Carol roughly three years ago that they set out on this mission. Is it working . \ shannon there is a group that walmart has worked with that is supportive. They tallied up the number of jobs that have been created based on public announcements the company has made. We are at about 7000 jobs. Carol is it too early to tell . Maybe it does take a while. Can they actually make a difference and create a lot of jobs by doing this mission . Shannon if walmart spends 250 billion they will be able to create 250,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector. When you count all the indirect jobs like, someone has a job so they are getting their hair cut and nails done it all of that stuff, it could be as much as one million jobs estimated. These are projections and that is even boston consulting group, even they said that is hard to calculate this. All goes as should be, david Kaiser Permanente has a plan to become the most Innovative Health Care Organization in the u. S. They are really interested in figuring out how to use technology to prepare for health care 10 years down the road or even further. And to craft what they see as the future of health care. Carol they got this huge warehouse where they are exploring this. I mature if you visited. Talk to me about it. Caroline they use this to create a template hospital when they were about to build 13 new hospitals to comply with seismic standards in california. They built these hospital rooms with cardboard and people could rearrange the layout however they wanted. When they got a little more settled with them they try to build the hospital rooms and put in furniture and they built a mock hallway and asked about 1000 stakeholders to come in and give comments. Doctors, nurses, patients, consultants. They had the janitors come in to test whether the janitor carts could fit in and out of the doors and go down hallways smoothly. The idea was that they could save money by having this template hospital in place. Once everybody signed off on it, they went out and build these hospitals they could just copy and paste. Carol you write about Monitoring Technology in your story. Im guessing that ultimately this is about Kaiser Permanente being able to improve the bottom line. Its got to be all about cost control. Caroline absolutely. Kaiser is looking ahead to the population aging. Haveople age they tend to more chronic illnesses. We know patients with chronic illnesses eat up a whole lot of the budget when it comes to health care. How do we keep patients at home . 59 million virtual exchanges in the last year, whether that is emails, telephone calls or video visits which is actually more than the total number of in person visits which is about 50 million. His keeps people at home it means they dont have to come in for service as if they dont me to be there. Hopefully this can stop people from coming into the er which is very costly. They are looking into different ways to help people stay healthy home. Carol a 19th century document inspiring a massive Sustainable Community in vermont. Carol welcome back to bloomberg businessweek. In the feature section of potential mormon utopia in vermont. David the multimillionaire behind the scheme. A librarian named nicole and so she saw a series of land purchases, 900 acres in four towns surrounding the smiths monument. Joseph smith, founder of the Mormon Church, was born in vermont. David hall has a utopia planned which is based on documents created by joseph smith. Carol this plan involves these communities. A 20,000 persons community. Caroline it is a long ways off but that is the hope. It is supposed to be built on 5000 acres and have 20,000 people. The plan is based on a vision 1833. Smith had in he and two fellow mormons went into the woods and they had been studying an Old Testament prophet who managed to create a city so perfect it was lifted off into heaven. They were hoping to find something similar and they had this vision. The document was lost for a long time in the Mormon Church has never given it very much significance but david hall found it and has been studying instance the 1980s. He says he is put more than 100 million into developing this plan and has plans to sink in another 150 million more. Carol its like a contained community and sustainable but there are businesses, places to socialize, all in one. Caroline everything is right there. You should be able to walk everywhere. Everything is about half a mile away. The whole place is surrounded by nature. He is very much into drilling and believes it could be sustainably done. Carol i mentioned it community of 20,000 but he really wants to build 1000 of these new vistas in vermont. Caroline 20 million people. Carol what do the folks of vermont say . Caroline they are shocked. I think it is hard to believe this is happening. On the other hand call says he has 150 engineers working on plans. They are not at all happy about this. The fact that he has spent nearly 5 million scooping up more land in central park more land than is in central park scares people. David Hillary Clintons army of doortodoor canvassers.

Are moving in that direction. Not that it will take over the oil business, but more of what they are pumping out of the ground is gas than oil. The stake inwhere gas is lower is bp. All the others have increased their guests output. Their gas output. There are obstacles. It is a complicated business. Terminals, build liquefy the gas. It is a complicated process. Carol also complicated, going public. You talk about spotify and their plans to go public. There is huge valuation out there. Will that justify a . Not profitable. For investors, there is reason to be skeptical. Withfy is negotiating labels and the question is, what percent did they give labels . That is always the question. Those negotiations are ongoing. Until you figure out how much giving, it is hard to know what the profitability is going to be. David says this is a hard line of business to make money. You have to compensate the labels. Who aree artists unhappy with their compensation. Carol not easy when you have people like apple to compete against. David a wonderful photo essay. Tell us about it.

He was in the Media Section of the arena doing interviews, this great moment of the wizard of oz, the man behind the curtain. And itthis white suit differentback to a era. Carol newt gingrich, it almost epy. S cre is camera flash and a cast that shadow on him. This one felt like it was the spirit of the rest of the page. David the Republican National convention was not the only story. Carol canvassers are going doortodoor in hopes of winning workingclass voters. A particular focus on white workingclass nonunion voters, but are going to be front and center in the election, like pence vain you. Like pennsylvania. I followed their field director in western pennsylvania as he tot to make the appeal white, workingclass, votersrine nonunion in areas that have been hit hard economically. About bothsuspicion candidates. Went to pittsburgh, a city hurt economically. Concern is a lot of these individuals who cannot get a break, maybe dont have a job or have struggled over the last few years, these are potential voters that could go to donald trump. I talked to a voter after walking after watching a canvasser talk to a voter. They were going to vote for donald trump to send a message that something needs to change because we cannot have another politician in there. That couldrs worry get traction, especially in places like these towns out like pittsburgh, where donald trump believes the clintons history with trade deals will hurt hillary clinton. Carol how transparent are they talking to voters . Affiliateentify as an , a brand in the region outside pittsburgh. It is a positive for a votto voters. They insist on making a point that they are not from the Democratic Party and they assess candidates on their issues. They endorse our pro label and union backed candidates. Our economicy push issues. They believe they have credibility because they do not wade into issues like abortion or guns. How to maintain your privacy online. David how to define autopilot. That is ahead. Carol welcome back. David you can listen to us on the radio and also on am 1130 in new york. Stepbystep guide to protecting yourself online.

The second step we recommend is setting up a pin code at your cell phone provider. To beer cannot pretend you, send those codes to them and get access to your accounts and lock you out. Two things, you will be a long way down the road to protect those accounts. Those are the two things we recommend you start with. You also talk about things that have happened. You mentioned a journalist whose twitter account was hacked. s social media accounts got hacked and the hacker got so deep into his computer, they got into his macbook, iphone, ipad, you raced all of his data. Hishackers erased all of family photos. That fora lesson in Silicon Valley. You have to set up login verifications. If he had it, it would not have happened. Carol you also talk about clearing your cookies. Iseverybody thinks a cookie rightfully so, the way advertisers target you, but they are a tool for hackers to target you. When you log on to the internet and websites collect data about you, attackers with network , they can use those cookies to target you and find you on the internet. This is the higher end of the spectrum. It is one less way attackers can find you online. It is an important point to remember.

And ohio driver was driving along a highway in florida and was engaged in autopilot. It seems his hands were not on the wheel and the car did not recognize an 18 wheeler was crossing the highway at the same time. There was a collision and the driver died. Accidents. Two more one in pennsylvania and one in montana occurred where drivers autopilot,ngaged lost control and collided with a barrier. What has happened since then, lawyers have been pontificating. They are wondering what does the crash mean and is tesla going to be held liable . Carol who is liable . Is the Company Liable . What did they say to drivers testing out the autopilot function . Beenas argument has clear for years. He has been saying in the event of an accident, drivers will be held response. This is not a taunus driving. Anders need to be careful have control of a car like they would any other car. Function and ay bit of a luxury, but should not change the way drivers focus on the road. The counterargument is that when autopilot,product you are asking for drivers not to pay attention. Called anhis argument attractive nuisance, similar to if there is a Swimming Pool that is not being guarded by a fence and neighborhood fit neighborhood children start to jump in, who will be liable . It is likely to be the homeowner. The argument is tesla could be the liable despite of structure and to keep your hands on the wheel. Tesla has put out warnings. What if there is a design flaw or the design is defective. Does that make tesla liable . It will only enhance arguments. There have been previous cases that ask the same question over antilock brakes. It will be up to a judge and jury to determine whether a product defect is in play here. If that is what they find, tesla could be on the hook. David rio is on the hunt for revenue. Of hosting theve olympics, rio state is broke. Carol the governor is selling his residence. This is one asset that was transferred over to the Pension System to sell to the highest bidder. This was a unique asset. Y 20th built on the earlie century. Carol this is an exclusive place.

It is part of the state on anments effort to put brave face and show they are cutting their own flesh as well. It is not going to be something to fix their problem, but a demonstration they are selling off their own assets. Could it go for . This money they are helping closed a little bit of the budget deficit gap rio is facing. Tough to say. The executive in charge of selling the property, he was unsure about if he would be able to sell it and less sure about what the price would be. It is a unique property. There is nothing else on the island. It is just someones future private paradise. David a book. Dead, a called playing journey through the world of death fraud.
