of course i like all the founders. i wouldn't have spent four years of my life reading about them if i didn't like them in some way. but is there a founder that you naturally gravitate to? i usually say benjamin franklin and i say that not just because we're in philadelphia, but because -- he's almost an apolitical founder. like it's impossible to use him in kind of a politically meaningful way. what you think about franklin, and it's sort of what i would like us to think about all the founders, is his unique individuality and utter id yo sink racy in his own time. the thing about the founding fathers, if you read very deeply into their papers, and i've read deeper than i might have imagined into their papers, is that they are all thoroughly unique people. when you kind of really wrestle with their uniqueness, when you kind of really recognize the degree to which they have lived in a particular moment and that moment is now gone, it kind of, like all kind of people of the past, i'd love to know them but i don't want to

they are all flawed founders. if you look back there for perfection or to meet all our standards of racial justice and sexual equality you are going to be disappointed. but this is -- all apologies to who is the guy that wrote the greatest generation? >> host: tom brokaw. >> guest: this is the greatest political generation in american history. i can hide behind the observation of henry adams, writing in the grant administration said if you look at the list of american presidents from beginning until now, you got to believe darwin got it exactly backwards. [laughter and applause] >> host: who was the one indispensable founding father the washington, adams, hamilton? one person had existed what would be different? >> guest: i have a lot invested in making the case that they function so well because they are a collective and there's a kind of built in checks and balances in the personalities, idiosyncrasies and ideologies of the respective founders. if you just had hamilton we head towards dictatorship. if you just s

airbnb founders, i said guys, i think this is really dangerous.hink somebody might get raped or murdered while they are staying at someone's house and the blood will be on your hands, i literally said this to those guys. emily: you didn't pass on uber. you own 4% of the company. chris: i did not pass on uber. i was lucky to be one of the very first investors. i had deep convictions about what it could be. emily: you don't think uber has used very dirty tactics? chris: i don't. i think they have used aggressive tactics. i think travis has been invented in his tactics. emily: how big do you think uber can be? chris: that is truly limitless. i do not think it is worth less than $150 billion to $200 billion by the time it goes public. they are nailing down the food business. that is a whole other business. emily: taking on fedex, do you think that is something they would do? chris: they are delivering packages in hong kong now. there is that cool company, ship. i did not invest in ship because i think it is likely that is something uber will likely do

emily: how does not being a founder affect your ability to lead?mily: we mentioned the guys in the front row at improv comedy saying, you suck. dick: keeping in mind that was three minutes into a one hour show. emily: in one of the most high profile and scrutinized jobs in the world, some people say -- dick: you suck, get off. emily: exactly. how do you deal with that when people say that? when people say you should be fired? dick: i got invited to something a couple of years ago. my daughter said, you should go. i said, i don't think i will because i got invited because of what i am, not who i am. i have always tried to make sure i have never paid too much attention to the ceo of the year. the worst ceo of the year stuff is right around the corner. i don't get worked up or care too much when people say those things. in fact i have had to make , myself care a little bit about them only after i started realizing, it could affect recruiting if people start thinking, i want to go to twitter but what if dick is not there and everything changes? i need

many writers profess to understand the founders intent of the constitution, but the founders were a very diverse bunch. is they'reis they're anything such as the original founders intent to guide us? >> that is a great question, and a debate for the ages. actually, let me take a slightlya slightly different take. there were many different purposes, intentions. and that is the reason the debates culminate in a written text. one of the points we make early on, one of the core pillars is the fact that it is a written constitution which we are familiar with. we see the document itself and read the parchment and look at it under glass a copy of the bill of rights, but at the time this was regarded as an innovation, usually the term constitution referred to a nation's governing practice. the american understanding of constitution is, we voted down. what we have is an authoritative written text which declares itself to be the supreme law of the land. the framers did not think that their private expectations or the subjective intentions or what counted. what counted with the words they wrote dow

it goes back, again, to our founders. even back in that day washington understood, as most of our founders did, the potential of this nation and how great it probably would be. and even at that point, washington was reaching across the ponds, across the borders to other nations saying, hey, we're growing, we're going to be a force to be dealt with. and we want you to be a friend and part of our growth. and this is what this letter's about. and i think he even sent a copy of the constitution to the sultan of morocco. so, again, it goes back to our history. that's what we are forgetting, where we came from. we came from good stock and we have to keep the stock in place. >> how do we get people to read those documents more frequently? >> what i do is when i'm in district, i was there last weekend and i was talking to a large group of church people. i handed constitutions out and declarations of independence out. when i go to talk to any educational groups, especially young students, they're going to get a copy of the constit

emily: have you talked to the founders? i know you're close to ev.hris: i have not talked to jack recently. i did bump into evan on the way to the studio. i can say that many of those things were not my original ideas all, but ev and i have discussed while he was working there are things that i believe would be worth doing. the ideas i shared are not the five-year future of twitter, it is where they should be now. they have lost years and they are just playing catch-up. emily: google buying twitter. is that realistic? chris: it is really realistic. emily: but speculation has been going on about this for years. chris: if google were to buy twitter, it would instantly improve the stuff google has. this board, there is no one that wants to be independent forever. nobody owns 50% of the stock or somebody who could block a deal like that. emily: you think google would realistically buy twitter? chris: i think google would love to buy twitter. i think they never got social personal identity, real time, or anything, they haven't nailed that. that said, zuck
