the golden state warriors -- on -- r a damaging lawsuit and embarrassing settlement were just some of the challenges for uber this week, as the pr nightmare continues at the world's most valuable startup. first to the lead pair president trump speaking from trump tower defense's decision to wait two days to condemn white supremacist amid violence in virginia, saying he needed to gather the facts. since the deadly attack, several ceos have cut ties with the white house. armour, and --er for ceos resigned from the manufacturing counsel. said -- ceo today, the president fired back. >> we want products made in the country. leavef the people will

and are leaving out of embarrassment because they make their products outside. emily: the latest development on this ongoing story. we have our chief washington correspondent kevin cirilli standing outside trump tower. with me in the studio, cory johnson. kevin, you have to give us a roundup of what happened in this press conference. president trump very defiant and very hesitant, to lay blame essentially. reporter: president donald trump defiant against criticism for his response to the charlottesville tragedy over the weekend. he says there are faults on both sides here and i can tell you that already a crowd of protesters had gathered about a block away from where i'm standing outside of trump tower. president trump taking on the media as well as others for what has gone on and what he feels is unfair treatment. he criticized heavily and defended heavily his very own

position following the charlottesville tragedy. it comes as he is facing intense criticism from ceos and also from republicans within his own party. this is supposed to be a press conference of sorts or a public commenting period to announce a second round of infrastructure executive order. all of that is now thrown out the window with the headlines dominated by his comments on charlottesville. emily: cori, the press conference became very contentious, and the president was very combative what is your reaction. ? cory: i was doing a live radio show and i couldn't speak afterwards. to see thety amazing president refusing to criticize kkk,eize -- nazis and the are suggesting there is a equivalency between protesters

supporting a confederate general statue that was only built in the 1920's, when jim crow was enacted -- which is when a lot of the statues were put up, not -- which isvil war really a statement about racism, keeping african-americans in the country down. amazing to see the press conference. it is worth noting that this plays to his base. he might actually just agree. but this notion -- there's a dialogue that says black lives matter itself is akin to protests like all right protests, kkk protests, nazi protests. that dialogue doesn't reach the mainstream media, but it is happening, and is in his playbook. emily: playing to the base is in the president's playbook and we see it again and again, but shouldn't he be trying to expand his base? reporter: i think there are many

republicans who have forcefully denounced white supremacy, kkk, and criticized the president for his response. when you look at the states the president won, ohio, michigan, 70,000 independent voters switched from former president obama and then voted for donald trump, they were really the swing voters. when you look at independent polling over the last couple of days, if you look at gallup, president trump approval rating to did to around -- dipped around 34%. his team around him has tried to focus on the economy, but president trump, less than 24 seeing policee vehicles. i just want to say this. we are seeing an increase of police presence where a growing crowd of protesters had gathered chanting against president trump.

that is something that i think many outlets will be monitoring throughout the next several hours. to conclude my thought, i would note that this is something that while the president, trying to focus on economic issues, and if you look at what he tweeted, criticizing ceos, and even at the press conference, criticizing the ceos who left the business council as well as criticizing senator john mccain on the issue of health care, this is a president really feels that going after his critics will help him reach legislative goals. so far, he has yet to have a major legislative accomplishment on health care, infrastructure, tax policy. if you look at the month of september, he has 12 legislative days left. congress has to raise the debt limit, has a spending bill, and get to issues like tax reform and infrastructure, which was supposed to be the basis of his comments about one hour ago. emily: you have interviewed the intel ceo a member of times --

number of time. what do you make of the compilation that these ceos are publicly rescinding support? cory: i think for brian, it was very personal. no one at intel was pressing him to make diversity his biggest job at intel, but he was. it is really important to him. he has young daughters. he's thinking about the future of this world. having a quality at his company and making it a top goal, i think he looked at what happened, and instant criticism the president had for the merck ceo, and that was a tipping point for him. it is worth noting that the president said you need to take time and study the facts about neo-nazis and kk, but was quick with criticism of the market ceo. and being part of the councils could pay off handsomely, given that the president is the most powerful person in the world. remember, bk was in

the oval office with the president showing him a semiconductor, and announcing a plant that had already been announced that president trump had taken credit for. even obama himself had spoken would be erected. a lot of corporate leaders thought they would be able to forthe president's desire publicity about hiring and building in the country as a way to publicize efforts, and maybe get input into the white house and into the trump administration. i think it is just coming out to tooa cost right now -- at big a cost right now. the president's closest advisers were saying, "don't go off the rails and take questions." he immediately went off the rails and spoke little about infrastructure. ceo tim cook says he did not join in the first

sociopath. he is revealing under pressure his characteristics. under pressure, people tend to reveal their natural characteristics. at the end of the day, when he gets attacked, he will punch back. none of his opponents are willing to punch back with him. is playing out on an international stage and it is not helping him. emily: where do you draw a line when it comes to free speech? is it white supremacy, racism? what counts as crossing the line? >> i think people have a right for filing for a protest for any view in the u.s. what they don't have a right to do is instigate violence, and they don't have the right to have the president defendant. when i was growing up in the 1970's, there is a party that marched in illinois, a not the party, and the court said they had the right to

march, but the president announced. them -- denounced them. free speech doesn't protect you ofm being on the other side liberty. emily: what do you think of the ceos saying, timeout, no more counsel for me. >> i think the difference between artisan and policy behavior, i don't think ceos engage in partisan behavior, but this was not a partisan issue. lots of republicans, including conservative members, were very explicit in denouncing the violence. this is not partisan. it is president trump and a small sliver of republicans and conservatives. emily: what is your take on how tech companies should handle speech like this? yes you areitter @

racist account. >> i think most of the content companies have to be careful as they start deleting specific viewpoints. they run the risk of liability. once you start pulling down pieces of content, you're technically liable for all the content on your site. emily: what if it is nazi content? >> there are some constraints, particularly inciting violence, but other than that, i don't think technology companies can censor these legally or prudently. emily: so you don't think they should? >> i don't think content should be censored. emily: ok. what is your take on this google engineer who was fired after he sent a memo circulated in the company suggesting there are biological reasons for the underrepresentation of women in tech and leadership? >> i think he made several points. i definitely believe google is an intellectual monoculture.

what fraction of google employees voted for trump? it is probably 2% or 3%. it is not representative of the american people. that is a different point than what are the roots of employee-based and engineering based differences of google. i'm not an expert at google or biology. i do think google is taking some risk in being very draconian about some views. i think personally if i was running the company, it's ridiculous that anybody spends --thousand rd -- words 10,000 words to distract the company. but google has these off-topic mailing lists. there is a general rule people should not be able to take business time and distract employees, regardless of views. him the did speak to day after he got fired. take a listen to what he had to say. >> it is hard to regret it, just

because i do believe that i'm trying to make google and the world in general a better place by not confining us to our ideological echo chambers were only one type of story can be heard. emily: ideological echo chamber, political views are one thing. --t do those political views what if those political views exclude members of the population? >> it would be inappropriate to write a religious crusade document on either side. judaism, christianity, muslim, and publish it. but once they allow people to have a format in a mailing list that is open-ended, they are playing with fire selecting some views that are acceptable and some are not. it may be much better to say religion and politics don't belong in the company. imagine a mailing list where people are debating abortion.

they would offend both sides, legitimately right away. everyone.istract it would be acceptable for a ceo to say we are not having emails about abortion in the company. that's not the reason for our existence. emily: final thought, should he have been fired? >> no. emily: why not? >> googles culture, if you look at the historical context on the mailing list at google, they are wide raging. i only worked at google for two weeks, but fundamentally, i believe the mailing lists are .retty wide-ranging if it was a different company, then absolutely i think it would be acceptable to fire him. emily: keith rabois from khosla ventures, joining me this hour. coming up, steph curry of the golden state warriors has been busy investing in tech companies. where is he putting his money?

reports. uber responded to the reports saying that this is an incredibly complex issue and they always strive to get the right balance between supporting the police while supporting the rights of individuals. joining me is caroline hyde in london, and with me in san francisco is keith rabois at khosla ventures. i will talk to you, caroline. talk about this situation with bloomberg when it comes to the sexual assaults that were failed to be reported. caroline: this is a rather explosive report that came out, reported by the sunday times. there was a copy of a letter sent by the senior member of the metropolitan police alleging to the transport from under authority -- for london authority that uber is failing to report sex attacks and other crimes. they went to far -- as far as to say they were six assaults on passengers, and one us all that had gone unreported.

they also say they think this is because uber is trying to avoid any reputational damage. this goes all the way back to april. what is also notable is they say in this letter, by the way, the license is under review for upr, and it is coming september 30. could this be under consideration for the extension to operate here in london? to general manager, trying find details as to how they have been working with metropolitan police. they outlined how they work and how they hire experienced former police officers and they have an uber law enforcement portal, where the police can interact

directly with uber. they said that they don't routinely report things on behalf of individuals, they feel it is up to the individuals. it was a very lengthy response, but certainly a very heated report that came out throughout the weekend and on monday. extendingr is now tipping options for drivers. the drivers are saying it is just uber trying to brush up its image and reputation.what is the latest ? caroline: the year of the driver , happening here in the u.k. as well. some olive branches going to drivers. you get tips back as soon as today, and getting potentially paid for waiting for customers. cancellations, better destinations. the cynics say that the timing is everything.

we understand drivers have been casesforceful, and many in the u.k. saying, you don't make it easy enough to boost earnings. some drivers took this to an employment tribunal last year and won, saying they should get holiday pay, rest breaks. now it is up for appeal in the next month. some say the timing of this olive branch is a little bit too obvious. but it is the year of the driver. keith, i always have to catch the fact that you were a lyft investor when we talk about uber. this lawsuitake of against travis kalanick? >> it is pretty unprecedented. obviously, you're asking the easy questions today. [laughter] --ved as a director for it

in silicon valley for 14 years, so i have a somewhat detached arspective, but running company with 14 operating executives and no ceo is a disaster. secondly, it is clear they have .omewhat unsolvable issues it is hard to get divorced in business, especially when you are on the board. they have to reconcile this. i think a lawsuit is very weak. it is clearly a strategy, may be effective, but the substantive claims, the fraud claims are pretty weak. the case, at least what is in the public domain -- there are things not in the public domain yet, like what is an what concessions benchmarks may have made to give the board seats are to get travis to resign. there may be a lot of new information. thein the public domain, case is weak, but it can be effective in germany -- incoming to a compromise.

emily: no venture capitalist wants to be considered the investor who will out the ceo. if benchmark is doing this, it must have been a very difficult calculation. what does this mean for benchmark and its reputation among entrepreneurs? >> it is always a difficult cut elation you remove a ceo. emily: and then sue them. >> at the little different. but i do remember google founders were almost sued by sequoia and kleiner perkins in 2001, for similar reasons like not hiring a ceo as soon as they said. they came very close. it is not completely unprecedented. in terms of removing a ceo, only time i saw it is if a management team loses faith with a ceo and lobbies to get rid of them. it is a bottom-up groundswell. get into aers massive dispute and somebody needs to mediate. those are the only two things i've ever seen.

i've never seen this. i have seen ethical issues lead to a ceo departure. emily: d think this will hurt benchmarks reputation among entrepreneurs? >> i don't know. it is definitely controversial. that it depends how things play out. ends with auber great ceo and has a successful outcome, it will be fine for benchmark. if not, if travis comes back and takes over, rides uber to its glorious victory, there will be people shooting at benchmark. totally unpredictable. so i notficult, criticizing them at all. being in the middle of that crossfire when you are on the board, you are making hard trade-offs when half the team says one thing and the other have says the other. emily: thank you. caroline hyde with us in london, thank you for that update. up, the latest startup space.on the e-commerce
