we of david kirkpatrick with us. david, let me get your thoughts.ny figures here that we are very surprised about? million, 1.9 $911 million drivers, and more than 30 million riders last year. david: it is a successful company, but a company losing $911 million does not impress me. i think that is not shocking. we knew that kind of thing was happening. in my historic, old-fashioned view of business, that is not a company ready to go public. guy: the me ask the same question. do these numbers feel like they should be the numbers lyft should be coming to the market with? >> i think that they are in line. one thing i am surprised by is they probably have a higher take rates. they have booked 1.8 billion in revenue, which tells me that their take rates are closer to 25%, where we thought it was close to 22%. i think that if that is the case, then they probably should be on the path to profitability if and cut down on subsidies. vonnie: the drivers drive fewer than 20 hours per week, 91% of them according to lyft. -- theporate governan corporate governme

let's bring in our next guest, david kurt patrick -- kirkpatrick. we were anticipating some streaming services. how will this add substantially to apple as a service provider? david: apple has historically been a device company but margins on services are super. apple has to grow from its gigantic current scale, and it's looking for new, high profit areas in which to grow. therefore, services, particularly video, make a lot of sense. video and news today we are expecting to hear the most about. we could hear about a credit card as well, as bloomberg reported. i think we will see a new kind of apple emerge, which will be a little more confusing for people, harder for them to understand. our preconceptions about what apple is are going to get blurry. if you look at amazon, you realize this is the kind of company that we will be seeing more and more of, the giants. they have to almost do everything. vonnie: wedbush securities estimate between amazon, disney, hulu, investing about $20 billion in streaming content. apple spending about one billion. how mu

emily: david kirkpatrick now is joining us from new york. you wrote the book on facebook. m sure you interviewed chris cox several times in that process. what do you make that he is now leaving? david: i agree with everything sarah said about his centrality at the company. he has in my mind been the person closest to zuckerberg from a product standpoint, which is why zuckerberg gave him oversight over facebook, instagram, and whatsapp. basically, he has been running all the products. i also think it is interesting that he should be leaving and daniels, who runs whatsapp, leaving just a few days after zuckerberg declared essentially that whatsapp is the center of the new facebook. degreeit bespeaks some of conflict and disagreement. how much is hard to say, but clearly someone like chris cox would not be leaving now with facebook so under fire just because he is tired after 13 years. that is not what would happen. emily: which reminds me that when mark zuckerberg released that memo about privacy last week, he actually talked about getting new leaders on board and the challen

emily: david kirkpatrick is joining us now from new york. david, you wrote the book on facebook.'m sure you interviewed chris cox several times in that process. what do you make that he is now leaving? david: i agree with everything sarah has said about his centrality of the company. he has, in my mind, been, in many ways, the person closest to zuckerberg from a product standpoint. which is why zuckerberg gave him oversight over facebook, instagram, and whatsapp. basically, he has been running all the products. i also think it is interesting that he should be leaving and daniels, who runs whatsapp, leaving just a few days after zuckerberg declares, essentially, that whatsapp is the center of the new facebook. to me, it bespeaks some degree of conflict and disagreement. how much is hard to say. but clearly -- someone like chris cox would not be leaving now, with facebook so under fire, just because he is tired after 13 years. that is not what would happen. emily: which reminds me that, when zuckerberg released that memo about privacy last week, he actually talked about getting new

the second in terms of motives, one of the same reporters, david kirkpatrick who wrote the story, the story in "the new york times" today, at the same time jared was meeting with mbs, right before that his brother was at a saudi investment conference that mbs attended seeking investments for his personal business, a business jared used to be on the board of. jared's motivations are tangled up with self-ambition, with his own finances. there's a reason why they're questioned about whether he's sharing all of this information with the rest of the intelligence community and government. >> let me read from abbe lowell's letter to chairman cummings. and you're right about how bizarre it is that we're getting our information about a senior white house adviser, the senior white house adviser in charge of middle east peace, not for nothing, from his personal defense attorney. when you or staff asked about mr. kushner's use of any communications app, i specifically said i did not know that was a topic to be discussed at our meeting and the best place to ask your questions was to the white hous

emily: david kirkpatrick is joining us now from new york. you wrote the book on facebook, i'm sure you interviewed chris cox several times. what do you make that he is no leaving? >> i agree with everything sarah has said about his centrality. he has, in my mind, been the person closest to zuckerberg from a product standpoint. zuckerberg gave him oversight over facebook, instagram, and whatsapp. he has been running all of the products. it is interesting that he should be leaving and daniels who runs whatsapp, leaving just a few -- after zuckerberg declared whatsapp is the center of the new facebook. to me, it the speaks some conflict and disagreement. how much is hard to say. -- cox like chris coxe would not be leaving now with facebook so under fire just because he is tired. that is not what would happen. emily: when zuckerberg release that memo about privacy, he talked about on board at the challenges of new leaders on board or half this was an allusion to them knowing that coxe and perhaps daniels would be leaving. so many people have que

covered in the uprising in egypt in 2011 and onwards, amy kirkpatrick, did excellent ,overage -- david kirkpatrick had an excellent book called "into the generals," which talked about the u.s.'s desire to cut of up to israel affected our policy toward egypt. so i am not automatically opposed to a foreign correspondence for mainstream papers. however, "the times" is still vital because -- maybe in some ways even more vital than ever. most of us in this room are familiar with alternative media starting with "washington report," "mondo intifada." tronic certainly, the internet has made our work in communicating the truth about israel and palestine much easier, it has not made it -- your average person taking a train down from state westchester into new york is going to be opening their copy of "the new york times" every day and the news they will be reading is what is in that paper . they aren't necessarily going to come to our site yet, although alternative sites are growing. basically, what is also important is as i say in the slide, other media have closed their foreign bureaus. up until 10 years
