run it like a newspaper. report the news, get it straight . underneath the nose of the washington post is washington and politics. the newspaper in the old days wanted to be the new york times. they were opening bureaus in singapore, trying to cover the world. under bezos, there covering what is under their nose. the l.a. paper should cover hollywood. san francisco should cover technology. if you are not covering what is under your nose and trying to be somebody else, you're entering a crowded field. emily: what do you think of pretty good jones -- what do you think of radhika jones? will: i am interested to see what happens there. they will continue to have very good writing and maybe a little more culture and less politics.

they are better tech business than most media companies are. there are natural business boundaries but the thing i think has gotten facebook in trouble is there selling advertising. want to sell advertising, then you have a very different set of rules. fox is mostly commentary in false advertising. they have to account for where these ads come from. they are taking political ads. if you added transparency, and facebook can decide whether to be a news organization, but in the advertising, you have to pay by those rules -- play by those rules. emily: will hearst, and have you on. just great to have you on. coming up, things are heating up the at&t and the justice department over the time warner deal. we will take a look at what is opening up -- what is holding up the merger.

financing markets. i don't know if you look at what news reports are in broadcom, no problem financing that thing. that is $100 billion. that is like a nation. the deal financing markets are great because banks to really make money. they hope to loan it. >> broadcom and qualcomm on the table which could be the biggest tech takeover ever, that looks like it has some time to play out. the tax reform tax-cut story is interesting. are you expecting that money to come home and be used beyond just dividends and buybacks? to be used in some big transformative deals? bob: the big part is there is nothing exotic in them. we can talk about the individual rates. things like border adjusted tax.

that was a big negative, because how do you value and auto-parts company or anybody that has been hit significantly? repatriation, we have been talking about it for years and i have been in a few board, people are starting to think it is real. i do think it will have some -- it will be some of all of the above. -- you arehat stuff, somebody who probably needed to put some equity in a deal. from a deals guy point of view. do people want to wait in till tax reform is then down -- is pinned down. is a concern that that market might not always be favorable so they better rush and get the deal done now. bob: the latter.

repatriation could have an effect on rates. as people turn out the treasuries and bring the money back, that will push rates up. who knows? eliminating the uncertainty is the big thing. after all these years talking about repatriation, we are not going to have tax reform but some things will happen. the repatriation seems to be one of them. that was at jones day global chair of m&a, bombproof you sick -- bob proof you sick. we will check out one of the largest private startup deals ever. softbank's multibillion-dollar deal investment in bloomberg next. if you like us, check us out on the radio. this is bloomberg. ♪

commitment publicly that there was going to be any sort of any other lawsuit. they came around and travis agreed to give the board the approval -- the budget -- the board has the majority of that he replaces his own board seats that he filled. that was the major compromise. emily: cory, what is your take? cory: think of this in terms of the ipo. could ben some ways the ipo for the long-term shareholders. this is going to allow a lot of shareholders to get get out of a billion dollars worth of stock. it also really clears up the corporate governance questions of who owns what and the company? and what classes of shares might be offered in an actual ipo? not only might softbank might be in their buying eight lean dollars worth of shares, by clearing up the government
