rape add female passenger. let s talk about this with christine romans and paul call n callan. uber is super successful. everyone i know takes uber. well, uber has made its name by disrupting the traditional model. now you have cities and states saying wait a second, you can t be an unregulated taxi service. we want to have bigger and better background checks. we want all uber drivers to go through a fingerprint-based fbi database background check which is not the case right now for uber. in a way the thing that makes ub so uber so successful is getting it in trouble now. it s got very sharp elbows and moved in quickly now you have regulatory bodies saying wait a second here, you can t operate differently and make money when other people have to go through different background checks. so regular taxi services they fingerprint their drivers? in new york they do. when uber talks about different patchworks across the country, that s true. different cities have different licensing
going to try to find a way, law breakers. for example, what if you were in a taxicab and there s a medallion right there but that s not who s driving the car, it s somebody s cousin. that happens, too. i think the question so many of these cities have is they don t know how safe you are because uber doesn t go through the same rules and regulations that others do. so it s the fact they don t know. that s what they re saying. christine romans, paul callan, thanks so much i appreciate it. still to come on the newsroom, cold wet weather slamming both coasts today. the brutal more to easter that caused flooding and heavy snowfall in the northeast sadly continues as yet another storm bears down on the west coast.
