appeal court didn't agree, and brad's trial lawyer said he served brad well. anyway, marcia hired more attorneys, but -- >> i couldn't get them to talk to me. i couldn't get them to answer a question. i couldn't get him to call me back. >> did they send you a bill? >> absolutely. i have lots of bills. >> this went on for months, years. she heard about a private investigator named dwight mcneill, but her then attorney told her, don't call him. >> so i sat on it for a little bit. i was having a really bad day, and i called and dwight picked up the phone and i just started crying. because it had been so long since anyone i called answered me. >> and he did listen but -- >> i told you i would not look at the case. >> dwight was a former sheriff, he told her his job was catching bad guys, not getting them out of prison. but marcia persisted, and so he agreed to see her in person. >> i explained to her that if i concluded, from my review of the file, that there was any basis at all to believe that mr. jennings had murdered his wife, that i was use whatever influence

brad: test. talk to somebody who is steep in this secretive bizarre highly productive company like amazon. eugene: thank you. so i think that the first thing that i would like to ask is just the timing of the book. it ended up becoming incredibly precious, the perfect time to publish a new book about amazon and just given jeff bezos stepping down in a couple of months but can you kind of tell us what the catalyst or your thinking behind coming up with this book. eugene:a. brad: sure i did not time and i did not have any idea that jeff bezos would be leaving as ceo of amazon infected started this bookth and really the beginningf 2018. so the list of things that i didn't know about his s long. hq two, i think maybe just being announced in a played out in the early stages of my research. so jeff's personal saga, his divorce from a candidate. the whole tabloid scrub over his personal life, than happen through midway through our research and then i was writing it during the pandemic, this extraordinar

brad joins us from san francisco. brad, a big week for you. this is your second book about amazon.this is a company that continues to surprise us every day. what is it you wanted to accomplish in another book about this company? brad: emily, i think we spoke at the end of 2017, as i was starting on this journey, and even back then, i felt like it was important to update the amazon story. i wrote the everything store back in 2012. it was a smaller company, the kindle company. today, it is the alexa company and the cloud company. and so much more. i was researching the book, so whilei was researching the book, so much else happened. there was jeff bezos' personal journey. there was the scrutiny and antitrust and big tech. you had amazon's navigating of the pandemic and becoming a lifeline for millions of customers around the world. when i set out to do was update the history and allow people company. to understand this company. it is not as simple as what a lot of critics and regulators want to make it out to be. that operates in very competitive industries. it is worthy of scrutiny.

brad stone also may be joining us later on, a chris whalen is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: this is bloomberg markets. i am matt miller. let's get a quick check for what is going on in the markets. we are seeing the s&p rise a bit. the 10 year yield, there is a law further down, four basis points further from what it was yesterday morning. the dollar index gaining ground, prude at 65.92. interesting to hear -- crude at 65.92. interesting to hear these senators about financing the oil business and whether or not we should be using fossil fuel in 20 years. not will we be using fossil fuels in 20 years, but should we be using fossil in 20 years. we are joined by wheeling global advisor chairman chris whalen, one of the most influential banking analysts on the street. let me get your take first on these hearings. typically there is a lot of theater involved. do you think anything of substance came out of this today? chris: not really. i got to listen to most of the comments and some of the questions, and it is all just a bouquet in washington. it is mo

brad: it will remain in the hotseat.ationship with its workers, that is something jeff in his recent shareholder letter identified as a place for more attention. going forward, the eyes of the u.s. government and perhaps the european union continue to focus on amazon. it is a complicated target. it is not the monopoly that google is. it is more difficult to get a handle on it. i also think andy jassy will be the figurehead of the company. bezos is the wealthiest person in the world. andy jassy i think is a little bit of a humbler target. he would be a little bit more of an effective spokesperson being the guy in the hotseat answering questions from politicians. emily: all right. it will be an interesting next chapter. maybe worth a book number three. brad: don't even say it. emily: a few years from now. brad stone, senior executive editor for our global tech coverage. amazon unbound is out this week. it is a page turner as only brad stone could deliver. coming up, the covid-19 pandemic has accelerated a digitization of b

peter: gopal, brad smith is kind of a familiar face in washington, isn't he?al: he is, and like you pointed out, it is [indiscernible] in tech world. they've been around a lot longer. and i think one of the things that brad smith has been speaking out on in the last few years, not just recently, is the idea that some of these advanced technologies, like facial recognition, should be more regulated by the government than it is now. so i think he's been outspoken about that. and in the context of the solar winds hack, brad smith has been calling for a federal data breach notification law, which we don't have at the moment. we have different states and 50 companies don't have to comply with a national law if they get hacked. he is calling for that kind of legislation, which i think to some extent, provides a bit of a cover for auto tech companies to tag behind them. he is seeing the wise leader here who has been around and kind of provides cover for the newcomers. peter: emily brought up the solar winds issue. gopal ratnam, when it comes to cybersecurity, is that

brad: right.u look at overall market share in retail, that may be true, but there is the aspect of its conduct and amazon forcing sellers to give them the lowest price. because amazon has gotten so big, the argument starts to smell a little funny. if it's the kind of thing that does not pose an existential threat to the company, they could simply change their policy. emily: in your book, you talk about amazon studios and how it got off to a rocky start, and it's not come -- it's not easy to catch up in the streaming race where you are facing companies spending tens of billions of dollars. brat: -- brad: it is where the market is going. at&t combining the warner media assets with discovery. apple spending so much money. this race has become about intellectual property, about franchises, about double hits. in that respect, amazon is behind. mgm, they are getting franchises, they are getting "james bond," they are getting "rocky." emily: obviously remains to see if this is a good deal. as for whole f

joining us as the author brad stone. those words yours, not ours.excerpt -- you save yeezus be the tablets when photos were in the national enquirer. how did he beat the tabloids? brad: if folks reflect back to that time, was it the brother, the saudi's, trump. i think that was the point. that remarkable post in early 2019, he says ami was trying to weaponize journalistic privilege and wrapped himself up in the washington post and said this is the most important work that i do. when i research this, i thought it was a team business book until all of this happened. i found it was a simpler story. it was the brother who sent all of the information to the national enquirer. bezos and his camp might have suspected there was a political conspiracy, but they cast all of this doubt. sympathy swung to bezos's side. he weaponized the post. he emerged. he does seem to win have a lot -- when a lot. emily: blue origin announced its first human spaceflight set for july 20. we know he isn't a race with elon musk and richard branson. is jeff bezos going to win in

brad: it is interesting.n the beginning, there was only kind of an intuition of how they might monetize original content or license content. what has really developed are business models to exploit the kind of content library they will be getting from mgm. it is not just making content the centerpiece of the prime subscription club, but it is also the growth of amazon's ad business. we have seen the growth of imdb tv, which people may not know a lot about, but it is this free streaming service juggernaut that is growing quickly. you put mgm's library in there, and you monetize it. as well as getting franchise potential that amazon has lacked. so all sorts of spinoff potential in the "rocky" franchise or "james bond" franchise if amazon can get the rights to that from the family that controls the franchise. but that is in part what they are buying, opportunities, creative opportunities based on the property mgm has. emily: we shall see. we are following the deal closely. as i said, i will be speaking with the

brad: there is a complementary copy waiting for you.else should preorder, but your signed copy will be on its way. the book charts the last 10 years of the company and all of the crazy things that happened. it seems like there is an episode or scandal or surprise around every corner. it is about how amazon built alexa, whole foods market, the marketplace and chaos with third-party sellers. antitrust scrutiny. as we talked about, the incredible journey where he did transform himself and became a citizen of the world, his eyes opening up to so much. the evolution of the philanthropic efforts. his personal life, and what is going to do next. emily: you do cover all angles. it is a riveting book. i have gotten a peak at my advanced copy. preorder yours today, that next -- it is out next week. brad stone, thank you so much. his new book is out tuesday. you can buy it on amazon and elsewhere. we will see you tomorrow. ♪ so you're a small business, or a big one. you were thriving, but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back?

i sat down with brad stone to talk about how amazon may whether the many storms. ♪ brad: the truth isably not a singular truth. this is a company that employs 1.2 million people. you find pockets of discontent and happiness everywhere you go, and in bessemer, alabama, employees there voted against the united states that union is a -- unionization attempts. the life of a warehouse worker is not easy. they are managed by algorithms, the company does a lot of things to ensure that people that are stagnated, they leave, and so in some ways, it is not very empathetic arrangement. it is complicated, and there are parts of the world where the economic reality is so dire that actually, a $15 an hour wage and amazon to film it center is 8 -- amazon center is a good thing. had the same time, probably lost again for employees banding together. emily: it is not just lawmakers and employees, but the sellers themselves which is a part of what this new antitrust suit is based on. there is a huge conflict between how, obviously amazon enabled all of these small businesses to reach the world, and then
