Only one conquers the world and maybe cultures just a byproduct of strategy. Maybe you can ignore it and focus on strategy alone but consider that list of threats that read faced. Do you really want to take that risk. I wouldn't and at the very least if you're thoughtful about culture you can avoid hiring a bunch of white guys named read otherwise you're watercooler banter will sound like this great pleasure now. Let's do the reading reading. Great serena's always great talking to you. I always learn something. Youtube eight a great pleasure. I'm reid hoffman. not reed hastings. Thank you for listening a now. A final word from exclusive brand partner capital one business. When i learned that an average black owned business in atlanta yearly net was around fifty thousand dollars and that a wide all business was eleven times more. I had to dig a little deeper. We're back one. More time with dr holman of the village market. She's been telling us how the village has leveraged live marketplace ecommerce and a new retail location to help black entrepreneurs thrive but that troubling statistic. Dr key shared has urged her to do even more. we know that inequities exists. But how is this possible in a city like atlanta. Where if you can think of an idea. You can have burton idea. How do we get from birthing to scaling to sustaining to answer that question. The village has launched elevate the twelve week mentor ship program for black entrepreneurs and they want to expand to other cities. We are looking at cities that have concentration of black people and where there is a substantial wealth gap and job desert's so elevate possibly mississippi possibly louisiana. How can we come in and help. Hopefully and entrepreneur started dreaming extremely big because when they started dreaming big then was more likely to hire people directly in that community already. National retailers are taking notice the visiting village meeting with vendors and learning from dr key about community building that gives the village market a chance to scale their vision exponentially says capital one businesses and cave when one business owner uses their voice and platforms to advocate for positive social. Change others here that and do the same in that creates the virtuous butterfly effect that we all need.

"Constantly encouraged to how to improve the culture so not how to preserve it and so everyone is trying to had value by. Here's a place we can improve in what we do and so that keeps it very alive. It's not the golden tablets. It's constantly evolving living document and practice. I like reads expression a living document. And it's brought to life by peculiar tension between reality and aspirations the culture you want and the culture you strive for a truly strong culture is always under construction. Do you release new versions of the deck. Yeah so it's been updated a couple of times so we're constantly unwound anything but we've constantly realized like the current issue is the deck makes us in some cases look cold and competitive and actually employees experience us. It's very warm and collaborative but that aspect doesn't really come out in the deck so we want we're constantly trying to update the deck to be more reflective of a. We actually are so read. We'll keep revising that document and his employees will keep reading and no matter. What the size of your company. I'd suggest you do the same start early when you're still small and your culture is still being shaped and recognize that. It's both in a creative exercise. An organic system. One that your employees will shape with you. Granted there are people will tell you. This is a highly overrated exercise cultures and elusive concept and some people questioned whether culture right or wrong stronger. Week is just a figment of our imaginations. it's a question. I posed to read hastings. I had a conversation with a friend of mine. Who i can't quote. Because he doesn't give me permission but he basically argued to me. That culture was a retroactive narrative of successful companies. It was when you're successful than you could tell the story that culture when ages accessible and the classic here is culture strategy. But do you think that that counterpoint view is just foolish or do you think that that is something that actually in fact there is a little bit of will look really successful. High performing companies are then very congratulatory to their culture will very successful companies also work in buildings rather than tents. Okay but you know that's generally accepted practice. The buildings worked better than tense. So you do have to watch out for that. Retroactive thing of kind of what's different. But i would say on balance you know. The culture will help net flicks prosper through multiple eras. In a way that say my first company. Pure software did not so we've encountered many challenges which pure software in the nineteen nineties would not have been able to do and so i'm very personally convinced that the culture has been helping on that but again i encourage people not to believe in things that culture each strategy for lunch both are really important. We spent a lot of time on strategy. And why not do both. Wow why do you have to rank them. I was trying to do culture. Well tried.

"On selfish ambition. It's a civilizing force that exclude anyone. Who will drag down the team and also welcomes anyone who elevates short. It's warm but not cuddly and if that sounds a bit paradoxical reed. Hastings has clarifying analogy. You'll never hear referred to his colleagues as a family. It's a term that visibly greats at him he likens net flicks instead to a sports team. They expect high performance from the players. And they use internal collaboration as a tool to drive external competitiveness in team sports. That really succeed. They're often his a lot of warmth between the players and so it's emphasizing those aspects and demonstrating that when people come in. Everyone tries to help them. But ultimately it is about performance unlike a family which is really about unconditional love. Even if your brother you know does something awful and goes to jail. Your love doesn't stop okay and that's just a difference an important part of society. But that's not what we're about what we're about is collectively changing the world in the areas of internet television and that takes incredible performance at every level. We're also about really honest feedback all the time so you can learn and be the best that you can be so. Let it be known that netflix. not promise. Unconditional love and they're exceptionally frank about this. In their culture deck which every prospective employees reads this has become a powerful tool for them one that creates a built in filter to every higher. It's a great hack that other companies would be smart to adopt because the hiring process is a critical but often overlooked part of maintaining company culture. When you're growing and hiring fast it's easy to place expedients over excellence. You'll often find yourself tempted to hire perfectly qualified candidates. Who you know in your gut are not a fit with your cultural values. My strong advice resist. So how do you resist the urge to hire candidate. Who's brilliant qualified. Perfect in every way with the sole exception that they might clash with the company's culture. I ask jeff weiner the ceo of lincoln. How he does it with reluctance. He told me until we saw the consequences of the decision. I remember early on in my tenure. At lincoln we were around the table. It was called a hiring committee. Smoggy people responsible for evaluating new prospects and we were evaluating lincoln profiles and there was one profile in particular very important role and the person who has come sponsoring this prospects that look at this profile. Look at the background. Look at this experience. Look at the skill set. I mean we couldn't find anyone better. I should warn everyone. I don't know that they're the right kind of cultural fit for us based on the following. But we'll make it work and inevitably when you try to pull that off. Inevitably it almost never does. And it becomes very expensive in terms of time and energy and even resources Working through that fast forward about six to nine months and we roundtable very similar group of people evaluating somebody's profile and someone said check out this profile. Look at this background. Look this set of experiences and skills just unbelievable but they're not a cultural fit so let's move onto the next candidate and that's when you know you're in a position where you can scale especially when that discussion is taking place in you're not in the room notice how jeff points out. This willingness to reject a players has to persist even after he leaves room. Some ceo's like a new butchery co founder and ceo. Workday refused to leave the room until the team has made this decision so many times. It's a reflex and the early days it's just you and you know a few other people so we did it ourselves and we set out to interview the first five hundred people to be clear by we and neil means he was personally involved in interviewing the first five hundred hires for cultural fit and we would test on whether they were an i personally person we were looking for weak people were looking for people that had a clear driver for why they wanted to be successful. We were looking for people that are high integrity. We were looking for people that do not job hop and you could look at resume. You can tell if they're the shiny new penny type that jumps from one to another. We were looking for people that were going to be with us for seven eight nine ten years. We just did a town hall couple days ago and got tons of people that have been ten years. And that's how you build a great company so it was interviewing those first five hundred people and it's somewhat obvious from this begin that you set up that initial culture but how then passed the first five hundred to help keep that well. We kept interviewing people after the first five hundred but we armed those first group people. We decided i think it was out of company meeting. Say okay now you guys are on the hook. You interview the next five thousand. Make sure the next five thousand people are great cultural fits. I want to acknowledge the risk of this conversation. A strong culture is great for team performance. But you also run the risk of defining a culture so narrowly that the founding team starts hiring in their own image and if you're founders are a bunch of young ivy league white guys hiring other young ivy league white guys. You're not just being biased. You're being foolish. You want a strong adaptive team. You need different. Perspectives tristen walker. The founder and ceo walker and company considers the diversity of the staff strategic advantage. They're hard at work. Developing health and beauty products for people of color which has competitors mistake for a niche market. It only looks niche when you're surrounded by white people. He argues his competitors. Oversight is his team's opportunity. How do we come up with ideas idea generation etc so we have an innovation pipeline. That's three four years long but a lot of those ideas start with ourselves because we're part of the community were serving all right so this goes back to some of that strategic advantage right like i feel like the diversity of our company needs to reflect the diversity of america there versus the world not of that comes innovation and ideas that are fresh in new. It's a sentiment echoed by mariam nafisi founder and ceo of a site that sells home decor from independent designers around the world. She invites designers to submit their best. Works through card source competition and she knows from experience..

"Part of alaska was sluggish. Internet service. Score one net flicks. But there's a deeper reason. Netflix was able to outmaneuver company. More than hundred times. It's is. It's not a story of competition but cooperation. A cultural flourishing. That took place within netflix headquarters. A culture built almost as a counterpoint. To pure software we were unable to adapt to it because we had a bunch of people who valued following the process rather than the first principle thinking a bit of background on first principle thinking. You'll hear this expression a lot in silicon valley first principal. Thinking is the idea that everything you do is underpinned by foundational belief or first principles instead of blindly following directions or sticking low process. A first principle thinker will constantly ask what's best for the company and couldn't we do it this other way instead and these are the kinds of inquisitive. Minds that reed. Hastings wanted to unleash on net flicks for virtually every decision. And so the reverse of that which we do it not flakes says you have to be a first principle thinker and there's an overhead to that about what's best for the company so this is true and the broadscale like what kind of content we do. It's also true in the micro. Which how should i travel you. Know business her coach or by bus and we ask people to do what you think is best for the company we know give him anymore guideline than that and some people that frustrates but those are probably not the people. That's a good match for netflix. And other people like the sort of first principal thinking all the time. this may sound like the sort advisor. Tech entrepreneur would naturally follow. Who wouldn't want to hire first principal thinker. Well it's easy. Tell yourself that in the abstract but when you're running a fast growing company you're also going to be telling yourself. I desperately need a sales expert. A programmer a designer an accounting wiz. And you'll find applicants who have resumes with all the skills suited for that moment. It's all too tempting to tell yourself. Well we'll find a first principle with the next higher. Just look at what happened to read when he was at pure software. He's a first principle thinker. You think he'd hire other first. Principle thinkers game recognizes game right and yet. He neglected that hiring standard for six years. That is why you must define your culture before you scale and you have to think deeply. About what cultural attributes you want to preserve askale read gave us a lot of thought in the founding days net flicks. He wasn't just looking backwards at the lessons. Learned from pure. He was also looking ahead. We saw enormous threat to the company. Forget blockbuster howard netflix survive. The dawn of online streaming broadband internet was making its way in the household across the us. It seemed inevitable. Read that streaming. Entertainment would eclipse. dvd's justice shirley as the combustion engine eclipse the horse and carriage. And here's what makes read such a fantastic strategic thinker. He was fretting about this in the late nineties. When broadband internet had reached fewer than one in ten households to comprehend why read hires first principle thinkers at net flicks. You have to remember how he views. These technological shifts.

The people who enjoy conflict who liked to challenge the status quo in rock the boat but are motivated to do that. In service of helping other people be successful or achieving a meaningful organizational goal adams takeaways. A lot in common with what reed hastings shared earlier. Great companies hinge. Both on the people you hire and the culture you build to keep them our producer. Dan kenny asked him to elaborate. I think as a founder. If you're trying to build a culture the first thing you do is you say it is nice to have the right people on your bus but it is even more critical to keep the wrong people off your bus and actually mark chessel has a great article about this. He says we all have our to do lists but we forget to make to miss a list of things that we won't do. And i think that every founder should have one of these when it comes to hiring what are the qualities that i am absolutely unwilling to let the organization. So i'm sure we have plenty of young founders. Were listening to the podcast right now. Like at what point should they start thinking about this issue yesterday. It's never too early to think about the culture that you're shaping and it's a lot easier to shape culture through who you let him the door then through trying to radically change people's behaviors so we've seen two examples here of how culture can go astray one of them. Pure software relatively benign and one of them uber rather toxic in either case culture sticks. And if you don't want your company to get bogged down in corrosive or downright scandalous behavior. You have to avoid the bog to begin with with the lessons. A pure software fresh in his mind retreaded carefully into the next phase of his career. Pure software sold for seven hundred.

"The horse was the dominant form of human transportation for about five thousand years domesticated kazakhstan. Three thousand that's release things the founder and ceo of net flicks. You might think. He's giving an elevator pitch for a netflix. Original like marco polo but without the blind taoist monk. He's actually revealing the foundational strategy. That drove the company's success. He starts a story on the planes of kazakhstan and moves pretty quickly from there of course most common form of human transportation for about five thousand years domesticated kazakhstan three thousand feet. So for five thousand years. If you wanted to make a contribution of personal transportation was a better saddle better breeding. Who's and then in one generation from nineteen hundred and nineteen thirty everything changed with internal combustion. Engine what reed hastings understands with. Such clarity is technological shifts. Don't always happen incrementally. sometimes they burst over your head like a thunderclap and white boy habits that have lasted thousands of years and the trick is to realize those are pretty rare so sometimes innovation happens fast. And that's the kind of change. We typically aim for in silicon valley but more often innovation happens. Slowly and reed hastings knew early on that net flicks needed both kinds of innovation. They started by sending. Dvd's in the mail and evolved with streaming video service with original content. And much of the time the right strategy is to prove what you got and then some of the time. Everything changes incorrectly recognizing the differences. There is really important. Humans are inventing faster faster and that does mean that. The typical business model is shorter. Lived than it would have been before. So i'm not expecting internet streaming to be five thousand years like the horse but it may be like the automobile where it's one hundred years or more now. That's the sort of foundational insight that not only drove netflix strategy but also define their culture. Here's why we could see. He needed a team that could develop a first rate. Logistics operation for shipping. Dvd's and at some point that same team would have shed all of that logistical expertise and build an online streaming service from scratch. So who the heck can make that leap..

Netflix Is Losing Subs in North America
"Netflix released its quarterly results. After markets closed yesterday revealing that it's staggering pandemic fuel rise is stalling. It's global subscriber. Growth was down by eighty five percent on a year earlier in north america at actually lost customers but still net flicks boss reed. Hastings sounded sanguine for at least the next several years the growth story of streaming as a whole is very intact and this is the internet applied to entertain and consumer entertainment around the world using enormous market on. The company has come a long way since it started renting. Dvd's by mail mostly by going all in on funding. Its own shows and films for the moment. There aren't plans to buy up any of its rivals. Mr hastings simply wants to out compete them. So i would say yearly a one product company with a bunch of supporting elements that help that on act incredible satisfaction for consumers and a monetize ing engines investing and. it's those supporting elements that may end up being key. Netflix tries to make itself as abroad as it's proved to be and its home market. Netflix didn't have a great quarterback. That's more or less what people were expecting tom.

What we saw was the number of subscribers in the united states and canada actually fooling very unusually net flicks while the number of subscribers in international markets continued to rise. And i think that's going to be the pattern of the next few years. So with the domestic market saturated. Then it's just a matter of of repeating its success in international markets. Yeah pretty much. Last year. we saw netflix made just over half of its revenue outside the us and canada. Which was the first time that it had done that. And i think going forward that's just going to be more and more case one estimate is that by twenty twenty five about two thirds of the company's revenues are going to be from international markets.

Lack of Paid Sick Time Could Be a Barrier to Vaccination
"Of today everyone sixteen and older is now eligible to receive a covid vaccine in every single state more than two hundred million shots have already been given in the us so far about half of all adults have received at least one dose. The vaccine is free whether you have health insurance or not but even minus the massive logistics of distributing the vaccine there are logistics involved in getting it and some workers are having trouble getting paid time off to get their shots or to deal with side effects from the workplace culture desk. Marketplace's megan mccarthy carino has the story when washington dc software engineer lori. Barth got the vaccine last month Kind of kicked her but headache chills. brain fog. I don't think i could have read taxed on screen comfortably. Loan sit up in a chair. Barth didn't have to worry about working through the pain because she got her vaccine on a weekend and she has plenty of paid sick time. She could've used but not all workers do says vicki shavuot a senior fellow with new america. And you could very easily see how it would be financially impossible and potentially job risking for a worker to be able to get a vaccine. There is no national requirement that employers offer any sick leave much less a couple of days to get vaccinated and low wage. Essential workers are among the least likely to have paid time off says elite schools with the economic policy institute. They may not have a lot of power negotiate for when the best time is to have the vaccines that they make sure. They don't have to work the next day.

Netflix might be cracking down on password sharing
"Netflix users. beware. The company is considering a crackdown on customers. Who share their passwords with friends or family members. Netflix knows many of its two hundred million subscribers or piggybacking on someone else's account and now the company is testing a new papa message asking some users to verify that they own the account. They're trying to log into. Peter kafka is senior correspondent at recode and host of recode media peter either. So what is netflix up to here. Well that's a good question Their official line is just a test. Who knows what the who's who knows what we're gonna do but in theory. It looks like they might be reconsidering a longtime stands. They've had which is basically you. We're not telling you this but we're not gonna complain if you share your net password with a lot of other people They're doing a test. That says if for instance you've ever borrowed a netflix password You might see a pop up on your tv saying hey. You can only do this if you have a netflix account with us and if you do let us know and we'll send you a log in and you can get on yourself. It seems appears to be nudging you towards going from free loader to paying netflix's subscribe well. It does seem to me that it could be like the end of an era because people have been sharing passwords for as long as netflix has been around. You know just a few years ago. Ceo reed hastings said password sharing something that you have to learn to live with. So why crackdown now. Well we don't again. We don't know they're cracking down. You know the the obvious conclusion you can draw is. Netflix used to sort of own streaming. That didn't have any competition and now there's a lot of competition from disney discovery plus and paramount plus. Hbo max and the suggestion would be all right. We people paying for us instead of paying for hbo max. Paramount plus people make a decision I'm not sure that's the case There's also a theory that h netflix's just taste testing out a count security you know. Netflix doesn't give free trials anymore. They used to do that. They've they've moved away from that And so if you wanna tease this all the way up and saying look you know what net flicks is you like it. It's time for you to star paying It would also suggest that theory holds up. That netflix is thinking we've got two hundred million subscribers worldwide. Seventy million in the us. How many more are we going to acquire With getting the freeloaders start paying but again redoing speculation here sure and do you have any idea how common it is for people to share passwords. I mean i. I i i personally. What happens a lot. I've shared my password for my entire family at various points. And i think they've all ended up paying for their own and in one point. I think that for a long time for for a lot of these dreamers was look. We'd rather have you paying but in the but you're also sort of giving us remarketing There's a there's a consulting firm magazine associates that that estimates that may be thirty percent of of netflix's users are are are are sharing. I guess passwords anecdotally. It's it's a lot of people because there really hasn't been any reason not to You did here During the pandemic people who'd been used to sharing their passwords. And you know In theory netflix. Lets you stream multiple accounts at the same time during the pandemic when everyone is at home streaming netflix. You've heard the people were running into that limit already. So this is something that could have been stirred on stirred up by the pandemic business has been pretty good. I think for netflix gained an extra thirty seven million customers during the pandemic because of all those people staying home watching the

Nearly 3 million U.S. women have dropped out the labor force
"Not long after Donald Trump arrived at the White House, he disbanded and office that focused on challenges affecting women. President Biden is now resurrecting it. Women's rights groups hope this will help them make progress on things like paid family leave and affordable child care. Here's NPR's Melissa Block. The wish list on Biden's agenda for women is long restoring an expanding reproductive rights, combating gender based violence, reducing maternal mortality, and he's pitched a slew of economic proposals. Major structural disruption requires major structural change. And I feel like thinking big right now is exactly what we need to do. So now is the time That's the co chair of the Biden administration's new gender Policy Council. Jennifer Klein. You know we're seeing because of the health pandemic because of the economic crisis, and, in fact, take care giving crisis that's been layered on top of it. These are core issues core issues, Klein points out that air hitting women hard and especially women of color. Just look at the most recent jobs numbers. In December, women accounted for all 140,000 of the country's net lost jobs. One factor behind that, with so many schools and day care centers closed because of the coronavirus. Many women have had to drop out of the labor force. That's been disastrous, says Joan Williams, director of the Center for Work Life Law at the University of California, Hastings. Mother's already We're at the breaking point in the United States. I mean, we already had a choc your system that was basically a Rube Goldberg machine and the coronavirus brought that machine crashing down. Williams says. What she wants the Biden administration to do is to recognize that Just as we don't expect workers to get to work without physical infrastructure like bridges and roads. We can't expect workers to get to work without a care infrastructure. What would that care Infrastructure look like for Williams? That would mean subsidized neighborhood based child care, paid family leave Universal, pre K and $15 an hour minimum wage, especially during the pandemic. Single moms have had to choose between putting food on the table and leaving young Children home alone. Now. Part of the reason is because the minimum wages so low that there is no way on God's green Earth that those moms can pay for childcare. The paid caregivers are also reeling from the crunch. President Biden highlighted this when he announced his covert 19 relief plan last month. Let's make sure caregivers mostly women, women of color immigrants. Have the same pay indignity that they deserve. Advocates like I Jen poo, director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, are heartened by what they're hearing from Biden. Her group represents workers, including nannies, home care workers and housekeepers, actually focusing on how we're going to make Thies jobs, good jobs for the 21st century. That you can take pride in and earn a living wage with benefits. That is a really big breakthrough. Conservatives, though, are leery of an agenda that carries a hefty price tag and they warn, will lead to crushing government regulations. Charmaine Yost is vice president of the Institute for Family Community and Opportunity at the Heritage Foundation. My biggest concern is that all of the proposals that I'm hearing coming from their side of things inevitably seem to come back to big government intervention in government programs. As for raising the minimum wage in the midst of a pandemic, when many businesses are suffering so badly if there were a time that you could create, that would be the perfect time to not Raise the minimum wage. This would be it with such a slim Democratic majority in Congress. Biden's agenda could have a tough time gaining traction. But Fatima Goss Graves, who heads the National Women's Law Center, is undaunted. Her group has issued an ambitious list of 100 demands for Biden's 1st 100 days. Basically, what we're asking this administration and Congress to do is effectively walk into gum. We need them to both undo things that have been harmful and have been Holding this country back and launch us forward in a way that we're stronger for it, Graves adds.

"To the program. Byron York He's the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner. He's a Fox news contributor in his capacity. The Examiner, he writes the Daily memo. Which is a newsletter. Available each day. He's also author of the book Obsession Inside the Washington Establishments. Never ending War on Trump, Byron. Good to Have you back. Good. Good to Be Here, guys. Thanks very much, Yes, that you've got a lot going on, obviously. And in your latest daily Nemo, you dive into some of these legal arguments and they're really in some ways process arguments. From various Republicans, particularly in the Senate about the upcoming impeachment trial. We know that the impeachment article being transferred over the Senate today with a start date on the trial. February the ninth, so a bit of a delay there, which is what some of the Republicans have been asking for. They've gotten it before we get into some of the other ancillary questions and details about the trial. It seems like and this is based on your reporting. What a fair amount of the Republican opposition to a conviction here in this impeachment trial will be rooted in the question of whether or not it's even appropriate or permissible. To host a trial like this against an official who's no longer in office. Walk us through some of the details and some of the relevant history on this. Well, there's there's been a big debate before Donald Trump River appeared on the scene. There was a big debate over whether a former official can be impeached and tried and removed from office. OK, so the The Constitution, says. Quote Article two section for the president, Vice president and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed on from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors. So we hear we've heard that Ah lot and Republicans. In this case we're going to say Well when it says the president shall be removed. That means the president. There's only one of them at a time, and Donald Trump is not the president. Besides removal. The you know an impeachment is the Constitution's main methods for removing a president who's committed some sort of serious misconduct. Removal is irrelevant and Donald Trump's case because he's been out of office. His term expired on January 20th. So Republicans were going to say, Why are we having this big trial to remove a president who is already gone? And Democrats are gonna say well, there's an additional penalty. An impeachment if if someone is impeached and convicted, the Constitution says that punishment will not go beyond shall not extend further than two removal from office and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor trust or profit under the United States. That means a federal office like the presidency or senator member of the House. So Democrats going to say that the president's the former president Trump's actions were so serious in the first couple of weeks in January That he must be forbidden from ever holding office again. And that's what the big fight is about. And what you there the way you phrase your question, I think is correct, Which is I think there's some Republicans were going to say, Look, we don't even have to get to the merits of this case. That is whether the president incited insurrection because it's just a fact You can't impeach Ah, president who's already Out of office and they might make the argument is well, Byron even if there are people arguing, yes, they can write. It is legally permissible. They might summer arguing that you and people can come back and say OK. For the sake of argument. Let's say yes, you can do this. And obviously that mean the trial's gonna happen. So it looks like the process of Lisa's moving forward. There's also the prudential question of, should you it does is there A good reason to do this right if he's already gone, and for for some who are very critical of trump on what happened after Election Day, all the way through January, 6 in particular. Touchstone. There is going to be accountability and then for others, it's going to be okay. Whatever you think of what happened, And to be sure, Trump acted badly. And maybe we could have discussed a censure. But why are we wasting all this time to remove someone from office who is already removed from office because his term expired? And I guess you know you want to maybe get to 67 votes, which I think will be very hard to do to convict the guy to then bar him from office, which only takes a bare majority, but the prerequisite is conviction. On and you can also Debate whether or not that's the right decision there as well, because, you know, I think I've been very critical of President Trump on what he did what he said the lies about the stolen election and fostering the environment that lead To that violence in the siege on the capital, But I also sort of feel like if voters decide four years from now that they want him back. I kind of believe that should be up to voters in the United States right to to the citizens of this country, as opposed to up to, you know 51 or 50 senators, plus a tie breaking vote. That's sort of how I'm wrestling through some of these questions on I just wonder on the threshold question. Byron of whether or not this is Even allowed it. All right. I've heard arguments on both sides. Constitutionally of this. There's on Lee one tiny precedent right in today involving a non president who resigned from a position of power. Tell us about that and how it might be relevant here or how it might not correct. First of all, we should say that there is no precedent at all for this in the sense of former president being tried from people's just never ever happened, But they do point to a case of a Cabinet officer, a man named William Belt. Knapp, who was the secretary of war in the 18 seventies and the Grant administration. He was accused very credibly is guilty as hell probably of financial corruption. And so on. On this day that put the house is scheduled to vote to impeach him. And a couple of hours before the scheduled vote. He goes to the White House and resigns. He goes to President Grant Any resigns, and then he says, Well, hey, you can't impeach me. I'm a Warmer official. Well, the house went ahead on impeached him, and then it goes to the Senate, and there's a big debate over well, he's a former official. Can we impeach him or not? And they have a vote. And that's a it's a majority vote of the majority says Yes, we can him impeach him. So then they have a five month trial pretty long deal and he's acquitted because you know that you have to get to a two thirds vote to convict and they didn't get to that. And the reason they didn't get to. It was that there were a lot of senators who believe that it was not in their jurisdiction that he was a former Um, a former official and not in their jurisdiction. So is maybe not about it was not about the guilt on the merits necessarily was about Should we be doing this here? Under these auspices for this purpose, given the fact that this former official is indeed former. So this sort of vote the votes against conviction on that principle rather than the facts of the case. Correct. I think he was. There was consensus that he was guilty of what he's accused of. Now, here's the thing. So that is the one president that Democrats will point to here. But there's a lot of other presidents of officials either being impeached or being threatened with impeachment or impeachment has begun. The process has begun, and they resign and then Congress just drops it. Most of all, obviously the biggest issue. Biggest example of that is President Nixon, who resigned in 1974 ahead of impeachment. But most impeachments in this country involved judges and there've been like close to 50 judges who are either under investigation or impeachment had begun. And they resigned. And then nothing was On, even though his judges they could possibly hold a position under the United States in the future, But they were like qualify. Alcee Hastings opted. Alcee Hastings is a Democratic congressman from Florida. Who is himself an impeached federal judge for bring a bribery and corruption. I believe if memory serves, and he was able to then move on and run for the house and women, and he's been there ever since. He was in peace and removed but not banned from holding future office and the voters in Florida decided to send him to the house. And there is so there you have that there are these two questions. There's There's yes, there is one president in the belt nap case before impeaching a former Cabinet secretary. But then there's all these other examples like dozens of examples of Congress deciding to drop an issue once the person has resigned, and by the way, you'll you'll hear Democrats say, Well, gee, if we don't Try President Trump. Then president resigned right before impeachment and escape all punishment, as if resigning is not a rather large punishment for president. You might wanna ask Nixon about that. But the fact is, that's not even an issue in the Trump case because he did not resign. He served out his full term terminated at noon on January 20th. And now he's the former president.

"Located off interstate. Eighty in california about ten miles from lake. Tahoe donner memorial state. Park is nestled in some of the country's most jaw-dropping landscapes every year thousands of tourists flocked there to enjoy. It's wild beauty. The park contains many trails and emigrant museum and the beautiful donner lake surrounded by towering trees. It might be hard to believe that a place so tranquil busy terminally damned but it is said that the energy of a place even a stunning one can be changed forever by tragedy. And that's exactly what happened to donner memorial state park in the winter of eighteen forty-six the previous spring eighty-seven people from the donner and read families. Embarked on a journey from springfield illinois heading west to california brothers. George and jacob donner hand carefully planned the route with james reid but poor leadership and a series of missteps led the men to make few errors. The i was the decision to take the hastings cutoff and untested shortcut that put the travelers behind schedule in fighting heavy wagons and exhausted animals. Slow them down further by the time they traipse through the sierra nevada's winter at already begun and with it of fatal snowstorm. Thompsons hands trampled. She rang out the rag. The snow she'd melded onto it had been warm just moments ago but the wind had put the fire out now. The cold wet cloth was stinging her fingers still. She squeezed the water into her husband. Georgia's mouth moistening his dry lips but he didn't move he hadn't for days he just lay there chain of obligation fastened to her ankle. Tanzim had been against this journey from the start she'd been happy in illinois they'd be well off with a sprawling home in happy children. She had done a teacher there but he wanted more. He insisted on california and thompson could say nothing. Why are meant to nod politely. Even as they watch their husbands arrogance lead eighty plus souls into health and then a month ago. Hope had come. A rescue group had broken through the snow. Georgia been battling ethan. Dan so she'd sent her children. Were the rescuers to brave the wintry pass and get out of this nightmare. Take the children. She said she'd stay waiting out starvation with him. Because that's what whites were supposed to do. They stood by their husbands even when a doomed them. Now george was dying and she'd be all the whole thing had been selfish of him. But that was george always onto the next thing with no thought for anyone but himself her mouth twisted bitterness. Blame was the only feeling stronger than hunker. The wind shuttered the tent blowing open. It's flab with it. A torrent of snow flurries blue inside outside. Tamsin could see dim sunlight shining on the oppressive white woods. The evergreens were tall thick and laden with snow. Tencent thought that it looked like a cage. If ice she rose slowly to pull the flaps shut then looked at george i g shuttered. Then he lay completely still is is open and unseen. She held her hand under his nostrils. No breath he had died after all that she had nearly missed it. She expected more of a spectacle. As george always liked attention. She should have felt sad but all she felt was cold and relentless throb of hunger swelling her belly and there was no question. The hunger was worse

Netflix's Q3 demonstrates the dreaded 'pandemic pull-forward in demand'
"Netflix's just reported in its worst ever earnings MISS INVESTORS BANS quarterly results from the streaming giant Jillian. Boston's on the West Coast this morning joins us with what went wrong in Q. Three. Was it Netflix's or wasn't the analysts Julia? How well expectations that were certainly high and then? Netflix shares today we see them plummeting on the biggest earnings myths and snatch flicks went public those earnings falling nineteen percent short of those analysts expectations now with Netflix. Of course, always about that subscriber number, it fell short of the companies already lowered expectations the company outages two point. Two million subscribers in the quarter in guided the addition of fewer subscribers in the fourth quarter then anticipated. Now, that's not all looking ahead to next year. NETFLIX's warns of some very tough comparisons but co-ceo hastings saying he's not concerned about competition we compete. So broadly, we compete for time against you know tiktok to as well as HBO as well as I tell really, the limiter for us is you know what's the quality of our service How often how many nights you say Oh my God I want to go to Netflix and and watch the next show. In contrast to Netflix snap shares soaring after beating expectations about twenty one percent beating expectations really across the board snaps revenue growing fifty two percent more than double the growth rate than analysts projected with a surprise profit of one cent per share that's compared to the five cents per share loss than analysts anticipated. Now, Becky what's really interesting here is that snap has really benefited from Kovin pushing advertisers to try their augmented reality ad formats and also guys there was a subtle dig at facebook sounds like they may have benefited from that facebook ad boycott well. Julius stay here we want to bring in another voice to the conversation as well. Rich Greenfield joins US right now he's of course, partner and Co founder light said partners and I want to start with Netflix's first. Then we'll get back to the snap story, but but Netflix, you say the real story here is that the bear story is gone. What do you mean these are disappointing numbers, but it does come after a very strong first-half for the company for for a subscriber ads. Yeah. Look look I heard the commentary that you were just talking about in terms of like the biggest. History of Netflix. But remember this is a company where again people are very focused on the subscriber trends and the subscriber trends in the first two quarters far out seated in terms of the beat far outside at Amiss here I think the real story that people should be talking about is that not only are they generating substantial free cash flow this year, but even next year as production is in full swing again, they're talking about that they may be at break even free cash flow and so the financing the sort of the bear thesis on Netflix for years was that they. Don't have the money to finance all of this content they're going to run into capital, they won't be able to finance. They won't be able to raise capital and that was sort of the the the bear thesis that's been ongoing for years and years. They're basically self financing now. So the view that Netflix has a capital raising issue is now gone, and if you start to look out over the next few years in terms of their pricing power and you're starting to move up price in Canada recently in Australia, we think the US will happen either in or early Q. One. Pricing Power and all of a sudden you don't have any cash flow needs in terms of having to raise capital. This thing's going to generate dramatic free cash flow and you're going to see the scale to billions and billions of free cash flow a year. That's what people should be talking about look beating lieutnant missing numbers is never a good thing for stock I get why it's down today make sense that it's down at Ted a huge run this year but I think this is more about consolidating as it continues to move higher. into. The point I think the company said on the call that if there had been another forty eight hours in the quarter, they would have met their projections or even exceeded some of the projections on this. But but when you see a pullback of about five point, three percent today does that represent a buying opportunity to you given how much the stock is already run this year? Absolutely because I think the thing that you need to be thinking about Becky is when you think about what's happened over the last sort Of like six weeks, what's really become clear one, the pandemic isn't just disappearing. You're seeing it flare up again in the US you're seeing flare up across a lot of Europe it even parts of Australasia like this is not going away. So we're all going to be more homebound or in terms of you know kind of entertainment activity for a longer period of time unfortunately over the course of the next six to nine months at the same time, the movie calendar has cleared out like all of the movie studios have. Essentially delayed all of their content two, second-half twenty, twenty one if not into twenty, twenty two, and so the path for Netflix's the runway has been completely cleared. They were going to be putting out movie after movie they've got a Ron, Howard movie hillbilly comes out in a few weeks an animated feature over the moon there's just a ton of content coming and really no competition and so I think that's GonNa really well,
