and have a situation right now where some of these people are trying to rush through a visa for fear it would not be available in a few months. there is fear and panic going around everywhere. i think we don't come up with a at a way to approach this, we are going to see industrywide and economy wide problems we don't have enough people and people are no longer choosing to come here to innovate. there is a story floating around about a gentleman from india who could not get a visa and ended a $7rming what is now billion company in india because he cannot do it here. of course there are a lot of factors that might have been different, but do we really want to drive those kinds of businesses and entrepreneurs from our shores? veryve to look at this closely because innovation is popping up around the world and people will go where the talent is. caroline: a word of warning to

are you putting your marketing budget to work. there was a lot spent this time last year. is that being cut back this year ? >> we did not do much advertising this year. we've never been -- done a super bowl commercial. it doesn't make a lot of sense, we advertise at the beginning of the season. lester we did a tremendous amount of advertising, starting in 2015. this season, not nearly as much. caroline: for what reason? >> last time, we got some blowback that we went overboard. people working sick of the commercials. -- were getting sick of the commercials. there was a business benefit but we felt like after such a heavy advertising year, it would make sense to not go so heavy the following season. caroline: you are now looking

more exciting. we have not had the resources to do it. both companies have been double paying for so many things, recently a lot of lawyers in that category, and it doesn't make sense when you know you could be driving innovation faster, you know you have customers desperately seeking experience and you want to get the hard part is having the resources to execute. what gets me excited about the potential for the merger is we will be able to deliver a better product to the customer then we would be able to as a single company. caroline: those legal fees doubling up, they might be needed to persuade you don't own too much of the digital fantasy space. how much of the market would you own together? 95% or something? how would you convince them? 57 millione about people playing fantasy sports,

and the majority are playing on espn and yahoo! and cbs. we are small relative to those. the daily version of the game is relatively new. yahoo! is the only one in that group that offers it. there is no reason the other companies won't jump into it when he gets bigger. we feel like right now, with 7 million registered users, we're pretty small potatoes. we want to compete with the big companies. we'll want to be a small piece. they want to be a big these of that 57 million playing. the numberabout half of people that claim to be sports fans. with is a lot of room innovation and coming up with new type of creative contest to reach a broader audience. draftkingshat was ceo. coming up, as flashy $3 billion ipo. we will break down everything

uber ceo saying he would drop out of the advisory board. this is an interesting dynamic because quite frankly, these ceos spent the last eight years complaining about president obama's regulatory policies, but are now facing criticism from a potential consumers not only in silicon valley but throughout the country who are concerned and disagree with the president's policies, but they still need to engage. that is the tight rope a lot of these folks are having to walk. wereine: certainly, we hearing that the head of blackstone, he was talking about the fact that the uber ceo was not there. are there any other difficult situations? any other ceos under pressure? >> look at walmart. we are around the corner from a

major tax reform package to come out of silicon valley and a groundwork is already being late on capitol hill. they're working with the house could -- health financial house financial committee. walmart is one of the largest retailer to garner an adjustment tax. not only does this impact immigration policy, but also the border adjustment tax. a huge opposition from the retail industry. that is brewing and that was brought up at the meeting. the overarching focus for president trump is job creation. particularly in manufacturing. this is something elon musk has, he says, i can make jobs in america. people working in harmony together. what about the tech situation?

for a flat taxd on carbon, that is something he brought up the other week in his meeting with the central. with elon musk in particular, he i think is one of the folks who has carefully navigated not being perceived as being overly effusive of being a part of the presidents economic council and advisor, informally. he has walked that line because every meeting he has raised criticism, against environmental policies, the immigration policies, and he has walked that line perhaps more than other ceos. caroline: i can't thank you enough. another great interview. thank you for saying late for us.

uber could do no right. not revealed that he would be part of the council and would not come to washington. it was more in his interest to leave the council and save the business. we have learned that 200,000 people deleted their uber accounts. that is significantly higher than what happens in any given week. they were still growing, but 200,000 is a big number, and hoover was really listening. i was in an uber last night and my driver told me that he was going to go to lyft. he was concerned about the political ramifications. feel that the criticism from silicon valley

should be taken to donald trump. the silver lining this week, snap, it was official. public.went they have been private for so long. we got to see their revenue numbers, their lack of profit. their loss was greater than their revenue. we got to see their user growth. we get to see how it has been flowing. million -- 158 million. it is a healthy company. it has had an impact on how we communicate. we're sending things more visually now. we are talking to each other in a way that is more raw and natural. snape is not polished like instagram. i am one of the people --

jason, you have invested in a number of sports streaming services. the mind boggles, fox is disrupting itself. why is it doing this for free? >> they pay a lot of money, i don't know what they pay for the year, they obviously need to make a lot of money. one way to think about this is that advertisers bring a lot of dollars, in this is one way to make sure the advertising inventory is expanded so they can sell into that. they also have fox go, or online streaming platform. they're using this as a way to bring exposure to that for consumers that may have not heard of it. cbs did the same thing last year. i think they got about 1.4 million viewers. the estimates i've heard so far for this year could be maybe 15 million users watching on the internet. quite a jump. is to whet their

appetite of people who have cut the cord. certainly a unique content asset. as you look at the over-the-top streaming services these days, they are spending the lands of dollars creating original content. it is crazy. why are they doing it? in the that some part of that portfolio will be compelling and will draw people in and hold them. with sports you have essentially errant teed drama. that is why you have companies like cbs and turner with march madness, i think it was $9 million to 2032. it is a long ways away. is one of the things holding people to their cable packages. i think starting this year we will see more compelling offers
