with someone you don't know well. we can send you a push notification that said we want to learn more about what you have in common with this person. connections in common. the fact that you went to the same school. you used to work at the same company. thing like it can change the way people work by virtue of getting to know how you know somebody. >> when i first heard it, i was worried. i thought what's this going to mean for jeff weiner. normally somebody's out of a job. you'd have the money, but what are you going to do for work? were you worried? >> how many billion it was again? >> 26. >> that's -- that's a different issue. >> to have you still in the top spot, isn't that an unusual -- >> she's worried about that. >> i appreciate it. thank you for your compassion -- >> what you can do, will you get another job or not? >> i'm all set. no need to worry. >> you know what i mean. >> of course. in that -- >> motherly advice. >> in that first exchange we had, we talked about the important of alignment on at least two dimensions. one was purpose, which we covered. the other was structure. how would this be structured.
8:38 am
i didn't know what he'd have in mind. it would be reasonable to assume a certain degree of integration, almost absorption, would i have to move up north. >> yeah. >> and as i wrote in the e-mail to our employees, he had me at independence because he said this was going work differently. he had in mind a model that he believes will be more scaleable over time, that you've seen other companies utilize with great success. google and youtube. facebook and what'sapp. oculus rift, instagram. we talked about a model of i remain ceo, we continue to pursue or mission and vision in a way that continues to manifest our culture and values. and so the opportunity to pursue what we've always dreamt of pursuing with this opportunity to fully leverage microsoft's footprint across a billion customers on a global basis is exciting stuff. >> sound like a win-win. you're known for your compassionate management. what does that mean? what are you trying to do? >> yeah. it's a lesson i learned a long time ago in a previous
8:39 am
organization where i think like a lot of less experienced executives or managers i was projected on to my -- projecting on to my team an expectation of how i did things. it's not the most effective way to work with people. i think another approach is to be more compassionate. to manage compassionately where you put yourself in the shoes of other people, you understand their intentions, motivations, their dreams and fears. in doing so, it can very much change the way in which you connect with the people you work with. >> you are one of the few ceos i've even heard use the words compassion and empathy when they're running a company and talking about employees. i respect you so. i'm curious about the linkedin profile -- >> she's worried it you. >> compassion. >> we can use another person at the table. the right person. >> comfortable environment. >> you have to take your shirt off, though. >> what's going on with the shirt taking off stuff? >> no -- it was a larry wilmore joke. your judged of a great -- your idea of a great linkedin profile? what jumps out?
8:40 am
this is really good? >> authenticity first and foremost. be yourself. represent who you are. it's not just your experiences. this is not a resume. it's not static or linear. this is a more dramatic approach to representing your experiences, your skills, your objectives, what you know, what you're interested in within a professional context. and it's not just about the comprehensiveness. it's also about the freshness of the information. and the more complete and the more fresh, the more recent that information has been updated, the more opportunities are going to accrue to our members. >> does it also provide a means for meeting other people, for dating purposes? >> you know, it's funny, charlie. i have stories -- i get a lot of wonderful outreach from our members in terms of how we've changed their lives. more often than not, it's related to -- norah will get a kick out of it -- more often than not, it's related to jobs. i just got an e-mail about a couple that met over 30 years ago. and i believe the gentleman was serving in the military, and they fell in love quickly. they lost touch with one
8:41 am
another. 30 years later, they were able to reconnect via linkedin. >> see what you do for people. great. >> good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> i was giggling because in our context, it comes back to relationships and love and passion. >> that's right. >> that's good. >> everything. that's good. >> thank you, great to have you here. congratulatio congratulati congratulations. >> thank you. ahead, an extreme observation deck. the new slide -- look at this -- >> where are you going, jeff? >> 70 stories above southern california. not the only way developers are reaching for the

8:46 am
since 1989, the 1,018-foot-tall u.s. bank tower has held the title of tallest skyscraper west of chicago. now it's got a new feature attached to its side. >> the slide is something fresh and never been done before. >> reporter: john gambo as senior vice president of the singapore-based real estate company that bought the tower for $367 million. this is an attraction to get people to the top of this building. >> absolutely. not everyone was on the same page when we came up with the idea for the slide. >> reporter: you went to the city and said we'd like to put a slide on the outside of the building, and they said -- >> they said, excuse me? >> are we clear toslide? >> all clear. >> all clear. >> reporter: disbelief soon turned into reality. >> have fun. >> here we go. and now the sky slide is ready
8:47 am
to open to the public this weekend. perfect. the process started back in march when this helicopter usually used for wildfires hoisted the five-ton slide on to the building's rooftop. this week, the choppers overhead captured these image of the final test runs before the big grand opening. the slide is just one part of an estimated $100 million top-to-bottom renovation of the building. >> when we bought, it was tired, it was old. we've done a lot to make sure the iconic is still iconic. >> reporter: it's not the only skyscraper in l.a. reaching new heights. just blocks away, the $1.2 billion wilshire grand tower is less than a year away from completion. that building behind you is currently the tallest building in the western u.s. right now. >> right. >> reporter: that's about to change. >> it's about to change. >> reporter: chris martin's
8:48 am
architecture firm design theed the will -- designed the wilshire grand which will take the title of tallest on the west coast when finished. what does that get you? >> really what it gets us in the end is the opportunity for the public to come down here and say, i want to go to the top. >> reporter: san francisco is also in the race to the top, building the 1,070-foot-tall sales force tower to cap its new mass transit hub. further north, developers in seattle have submitted plans for a structure called 4c, estimated at 100 stories or 1,029 feet. >> i think the economy's very good for construction now. and you're seeing a lot of foreign investment coming in to areas like los angeles and seattle and northern california. it's creating a lot of great opportunities to build really iconic buildings like wilshire grand. >> here we go. >> reporter: back at the sky slight, they admit they'll soon lose the tallest in the west
8:49 am
designation, but they're letting that slide. >> you can only do something different if you dare to do something big. >> reporter: and when you're sliding over the rooftops of downtown l.a., you can really tell they've done something different here. gayle, because i know you were wondering, they built this to withstand an 8.0 earthquake and 110 mile-per-hour winds. >> i was going ask, is it going to withstand the 8.0 earthquake and 110 mile-per-hour winds, and you took the question from me ahead of time. thank you. thank you very much. we could do that. >> yeah. >> easy. >> i thought that was okay. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

a statement about his immigration policy. after it was dealt a major setback this morning by the u.s. supreme court. the president had sidestepped the republican controlled congress and used an executive order to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation. app federal appeals court ruled that the president had overstepped his authority and today the supreme court with just eight members after the death of justice antonin scalia deadlocked 4-4 on a challenge to that ruling. that means the lower court ruling stands. the president's executive action remains struck down. chief legal respond jan crawford is at the supreme court. in this case a tie means a loss for the president's agenda. >> reporter: that's right. here's what we got today. this one sentence order that says the judgment is affirmed by an equality divided court. they were unable to reach a decision. but for all practical purposes, that means the president's efforts to reform immigration policy are dead. because that's when the court when it divides 4-4, when it
8:53 am
can't reach it -- >> i want to say a few words on the supreme court today. first in the affirmative action case i'm pleased that the supreme court upheld the basic notion that diversity is an important value in our society and that this country should provide a high quality education to all our young people regardless of their background. we are not a country that guarantees equal outcome, but we do strive to provide an equal shot to everybody. that is what we upheld today. second, one of the reasons why america's such a diverse and inclusive nation is because we're a nation of immigrants. our founders conceived this country as a refuge for the world. and for more than two centuries welcoming wave after wave of immigrants has kept us youthful and dynamic and entrepreneurial. it has shaped our character and it has made us stronger. but for more than two decades now our immigration system, everybody acknowledges, has been
8:54 am
broken. and the fact the supreme court wasn't able to issue a decision today doesn't just set it back even further, it takes us back from the country we aspire to be. just to lay out some basic facts that sometimes get lost in what could be an emotional debate, since i took office we deployed more border agents and technology to our southern border than ever before. that has helped cut illegal border crossings to their lowest levels since the 1970s. it should have paved the way for comprehensive immigration reform. and in fact, as many of you know, it almost did. nearly 70 democrats and republicans in the senate came together to pass a smart common sense bill that would have doubled the border patrol and offered undocumented immigrants a pathway to earn citizenship if they paid a fine, paid their
8:55 am
taxes, and played by the rules. unfortunately republicans in the house of representatives refused to allow a simple yes or no vote on that bill. so i was left with little choice but to take steps within my existing authority to make our immigration system smarter, fairer, and more just. four years ago we announced that those who are our lowest priorities for enforcement, diligent, patriotic, young dreamers who grew up pledging allegiance to our flag should be able to apply to work here and study here and pay their taxes here. more than 730,000 lives have been changed as a result. these are students, they're teachers, they're doctors, they're lawyers, they're americans in every way but on paper. and fortunately today's decision does not affect this policy. it does not affect the existing
8:56 am
dreamers. two years ago we announced a similar expanded approach for others who are also low priorities for enforcement. we said that if you've been in america for more than five years with children who are american citizens or legal residents, then you, too, can come forward, get right with the law, and work in this country temporarily without fear of deportation. both were the kinds of actions taken by republican and democratic presidents over the past half century. neither granted anybody a free pass. all they did was focus our enforcement resources which are limited on the highest priorities. convicted criminals, recent border crossers, and threats to our national security. now, as disappointing as it was to be challenged for taking the kind of action that other administrations have taken, the country was looking to the supreme court to resolve the
8:57 am
important legal questions raised in this case. today the supreme court was unable to reach a decision. this is part of the consequence of the republican failure so far to give a fair hearing to mr. merritt garland. my nominee to the supreme court. it means that the expanded set of common sense deferred action policies, the ones i announced two years ago can't go forward at this stage until there is a ninth justice on the court to break the tie. i know a lot of people are going to be disappointed today, but it is important to understand what today means. the action policy in place the last four years is not affected by this rule. enforcement policies by my administration are not affected by this ruling. this means that the people who might have benefitted from the expanded deferred action policies, long term residents raising children who are
8:58 am
americans or legal residents, they will remain low priorities for enforcement as long as you have not committed a crime our limited resources are no focused on you. but today's decision is frustrating to those who seek to grow our economy and bring a rationality to our immigration system and to allow people to come out of the shadows and lift this perpetual cloud on them. i think it is heart breaking for so where do we go from here? most americans including business leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement, democrats and republicans and independents still agree that the single best way to solve this problem is by
8:59 am
working together to pass common sense bipartisan immigration reform. that is obviously not going to happen during the remainder of this congress. we don't have a congress that agrees with us on this. nor do we have a congress that's willing to do even its most basic of jobs under the constitution which is to which is to consider nominations. republicans in congress currently are willfully preventing the supreme court from being fully staffed and functioning as our founders intended, and today's situation underscores the degree to which the cot is not able to function the way it's supposed to. the court's inability to reach a decision in this case is a very clear reminder of why it's so important for the supreme court to have a full bench. for more than 40 years, there's been an average of just over two months between a nomination and a hearing. i nominated judge garland to the
9:00 am
supreme court more than three months ago but most republicans so far have refused to even meet with him. they are allowing partisan politics to jeopardize something as tuned mental as the impartiality and the integrity of our justice system and america should not let it stand. this is an election year and during election years, politicians tend to use the immigration issue to scare people with words like amnesty in hopes it will whip up votes. keep in mind that millions of us, myself included, go back generations in this country with ancestors put in the painstaking effort to become citizens and we don't like the notion anyone might get a free pass to american citizenship. but here's the thing, millions of people who have come forward and worked to get right with the law under this policy, they have been living here for years, too, in some cases even decades. so ln
