we will discussed what is next. but first to our lead. trying to avoid a government shutdown. chuck schumer telling reporters that he had a long and detailed meeting with the president, and a good number of disagreement still exist between the two sides. for more let's get to national poco reporter on capitol hill, what is the latest? >> the latest is that everything is still up in the air, and we are still seven hours away from a government shutdown. it will be the first since october of 2013 and will come after the one-year anniversary of president trump's tenure in office before his state of the union. lasted 60hutdown days, so there is a scenario that delights will be out while the president gives the state of the union. conversations continue between president trump and republicans. we have confirmed that he recently spoke to speak orion --

speaker ryan. haven't announced a vote -- they don't have the votes to get that done, so many things up in the air right now and the clock is ticking. are the chances this happens in seven hours, or can be by a few more days? hard to know, but there are many senators who are nervous about a shutdown and are proposing alternatives suggest a can to make resolution over several days. somewhat to work through the weekend and soft issues on spending caps and on the pentagon side, which has been a major holdup. point is theiding issue of the dreamers, the undocumented people by here illegally as children. democrats are demanding that the deadline be used as leverage to

force republicans to come to the table to force a solution. don't believe republicans are going to get serious on that issue unless they are forced to. there are facing a lot of pressure from their base. question, ifre this happens, how does it impact midterm elections? the 2013 shutdown hurt republicans because they were the instigators. this is the first time if a shutdown happens that a single party would oversee a government shutdown on their watch, so it would be a historic first and republicans will take the blame. the last time republicans took the blame, the odds of that, i don't know. emily: becky so much for that update. -- thank you so much for that update. atare taking a first look

president trump's first year in office and how it has impacted technology. joining me now on this retrospective is bloomberg tech -- and david fitzpatrick. my guest post for the hour. david, i will start with you. we had meetings with president -- whatith tax reform is the day take away -- the big takeaway? he hasn't intersected with text nearly enough. if you look at a leader like manyn or theresa may, so leaders -- china, russia, these countries recognized technology is a competitive differentiator

that is going to allow their economies to do better than different countries. trump has barely mentioned it. for me, while there have been some good things, far more neutral or negative things about the trump administration iproach to pack -- to tech, that it has ad disappeared from the white house rhetoric. emily: some tech executives met with trump multiple times and expressed concern that many of these councils and meetings don't amount to much, if anything. take a listen to what tim cook told me back in june. >> i don't find these councils and committees to be terribly productive. it wasn't about not wanting to advise on something where i

or we had could help, a point of view that should be heard. -- i thinkthe latter it is in the best interest of america to do it, and i am first and foremost an american. have these councils not been able to do much silicon valley? >> no. there has been a variety of councils, and you have seen a number disband after the way the president responded to charlottesville. one aimed at reforming the government -- some have uber'sed, uber's debt -- then ceo quit. is no longer happening, and one is focused on reforming government and upgrading the technology, vucevic everyone would agree needs to happen. we haven't heard anything more about it.

the technology industry and trump -- i would say it is a lot of love and hate. where the hate on government stands on net neutrality. and love when it comes to tax reform -- the one big thing that the trump administration has accomplished this year. whether he wanted to or not, it is going to have a big benefit for the technology industry, in so far as many reducing the tax rate on all of those billions of dollars that are overseas right now. emily: there was a brief mention of peter thiel and his relationship with president trump -- suggesting that the president didn't much prioritize his relationship with peter. you see that relationship has amounted for anything for silicon valley? david: not really.

was in like peter thiel trying to bring that one key tech executives -- but nothing came out of that. have tech companies tremendously benefited from the tax bill, it wasn't directed at helping them at all. it was peripheral. it is funny that you have that clip from tim cook, and apple has done this announcement that they're bringing money back. they give absolutely no credit in all of their discussion to the administration or the tax bill, as far as i saw. that has two great on the president. a tweet fromhave the president saying that he promises companies will bring money back to the u.s.. a huge win for american workers and the usa.

is the only significant think this administration has accomplished so far, at all. >> he is quick to take credit for anything these companies do, any lip service they pay competing jobs home and manufacturing here. to his credit, apple made a commitment to the number of jobs they want to create and the ways they want to invest in r&d, and ways they want to bring that money back. i think r&d centers is creating jobs in america, and a lot of ap companies we talked to -- lot of that is going to go towards dividends, buybacks, maybe towards compensation. result innot going to money trickling down to the average worker. it is middle class -- going to line up the pockets of

wealthy investors. m interested to hear what these do when theyn to bring the money back. emily: silicon valley will be balloting with net neutrality and immigration. based on u.s. census data, nearly 70% of people in silicon valley are from outside of the united states, but they are increasing scrutiny of tech workers -- what is happening here? this is the administration that ran on a platform that is less than friendly and hostile to immigrants. this is a constituency to has become the backbone of silicon valley -- of the technology industry. senior leadership are oftentimes foreign-born. a lot of engineers want leniency -- they don't want to see daca go away.

this is the industry that has opposed that immigration stance that this administration has taken, and you will continue to see them oppose any crackdowns on immigration. emily: tom, thank you. david fitzpatrick, you are sticking with me. coming up, we will catch up with the new ceo of coca-cola and how they are technology to usher in a new era. chicks out on twitter on weekdays. this is bloomberg ♪ . ♪

when you want to learn what is going on, i would be just as tempted to tell you to go to shanghai than to stay in new york. >> how do you market? you don't have that when you are on your app. >> no, but you have to get it. to china for example, a lot of the apps in the mobile payment systems came in, we weren't on the menu. even worse, were trying to return a glass bottle to the restaurant, and there wasn't a delivery system. that advance very quickly to be present on the apps, so what is the virtual representation of what you normally see in the store -- and how do we change the packaging portfolio so we could be part of the delivery system. yet places in shanghai where all food orders is 50% of restaurant sales. relationship with

the consumer. talk about coca-cola, how does technology change how you're doing business? >> it is changing and a lot of profound ways. in simple terms, you go back 20 years, we are one of the few to invest in expensive i.t. systems and do our own stuff, our own programs. we have to move to the cloud, we have to move to standard programs that the whole industry uses, and refuse mobile. the one thing i tell the i.t. department is to put it on the phone, let's move everything to the mobile phone. knows how to use apps on phones, so it is profoundly changing the way we work, and it is going to continue to flow through the organization. we have a program of digitizing the company. >> does that translate to a

fewer employees? >> people are having to adapt to doing things in a different way. we have actually make a lot of changes in our i.t. departments to move to different skill sets, so it is changing the nature of employment and the source of profiles you want. whether we buy the services ourselves towards do it ourselves, it makes a difference as to where the employees are. but more employment is being generated in the economy. >> when you are trying to recruit young computer scientists? state of georgia has been ranked top one or two places to do business in the u.s. for many years in a row. -- the local political system has been a great job. it is a competitive economy there, and we do great in atlanta. they have done a lot to invest in tech startups and the media

emily: facebook will not bid for the national football league's package next season. this according to a person familiar with the matter. hammond said if they will make future bids on and of all content -- they haven't said still make future bids.

spin you have amazon, they will remain in the spotlight over prime prices, saying they will raise the prices by 18% starting on friday. new members will pay $12 in and $12.se a month -- 99. -- $99 soundsf like a bargain compared to $13 a month. what do you think is the motivation for this change? david: i have opinions whether this is the right thing to do or not, but i think the motivation is that they were making money the way they were doing it before. what has been happening is that people who pay month-to-month were signing up when they had a bunch of things to order, and a turning it off again later. or else, just not ordering enough stuff to justify what is

generally expected by all analyst to be the loss leading shipping subsidy that prime represents. if you are not ordering enough stuff for order to much stuff and not paying on an ongoing i could see white crime would be a good transaction for customers of amazon. emily: so what is europe union on whether or not it is a good call? david: it reminds me of payday loans. not have to spend $156 a year for the same thing -- that seems fundamentally wrong. amazon'snly is within prerogative to make a change like this, but in effect are saying that people have less money should pay more, and i do like the feeling of that at all. emily: they have also started stiff competition for amazon hq 2. i can't help but laugh because

this is the most amazing pr in history. in my humble opinion. they have 20 cities doing everything they can to make their cities as attractive for a company like amazon. david: i have a feeling that amazon didn't even think when they initially announced that they were going to build a second headquarters that it would turn into such an incredible boon for them, that every city in the country would be competing to be there subsidizer. there are getting a bonanza of free publicity in every one of these cities. it is a new story as well as a national story. biking they get a new story and 20 cities, the guaranty and the 20 largest cities in the country, gary going to get all kinds of think. whoever is managing it should get a big metal all reward from

jeff bezos. is leading inpany any which way, and it really is up to jeff bezos himself -- it reminds me of the race to host the olympics, which often has not turned out so well with the cities where the olympics and up. and ia huge expense, wonder how good it will be for the city that wins hq2. cities that significantly subsidized sports stadiums almost never get a financial return and economic growth to justify the investment they have made. the winner of this derby will be the city that throws the must money -- most money at amazon. the likelihood that city is going to benefit economically at a macro level is very questionable. on the other hand, the publicity

benefits will be huge, because the publicity of this has gone out of control as we have discussed. , or new york,ago i would throw tons of money on this. emily: it makes a great story for us journalists. the apple iphone x brought into question. production of the $1000 device could and sooner than you think. check us out on the radio and the bloomberg radio app, or on sirius xm. this is bloomberg. ♪

china part of the story? apple has struggled there when it comes to growth. have return to growth recently come up does that signified in demand on the chinese market? david by saying me start something, but mark knows more than me when it comes to things apple related. there is no question that chinese companies have been building better smartphones that are perceived in china that are increasingly as good or as better -- and a lot cheaper. there is a huge push for all kinds of reasons from the toernment, and patriotism, buy local, and the quality of the products as high. there is a long-term challenge in china -- and they'll elect to hear from mark, when i'm on the phone from our, i want to hear his opinion. you think apple has a long-term

facebook said that that ornate -- not only is a prioritizing -- go to try to make coverage more local. they're trying to determine traps the percentage that people are familiar with the publications that are trusted. is an advantage for the big, well-known publications that are very polarizing that people have different opinions about. we have to see how that works and whether that causes issues with publisher pushback. emily: i want to turn to twitter now. more optimistic about its future. what happened today? upgradedalysts catalysts. >> breaking news just a few minutes ago -- twitter is coming out with a transparency report

it is interesting to see both facebook and twitter grappling with these issues in real-time. what are the main things you will be watching for this year? david: i want to comment that is worth thinking of twitter in light of the changes that facebook made last week. a fundamental decision to downplay posts from pages and put a much higher orority on individuals, things coming from individuals. seemuld almost inevitably to make twitter therefore more important. while twitter has other signs of progress that the analysts are pointing to, the context it is operating in no position to facebook, people going back and forth between the two, it is beneficial for twitter right now. many pages will not be able to afford to advertise on facebook,

to be more concerned about it than we are pretty are -- than we already are. it is a lot of money to spend on content, but they have a tick range -- or i should say it to play with, and their hit rate is much better than ever one else's right now. lucas, with their top show, with kevin spacey out, they are doing a new season with robin wright. you expect to see any impact from that this quarter? probably not because to david's point, the volume of what they release. the terms of this shows they released that has a big cultural impact. hunter, punisher, david chapelle specials, the will smith movie.
