we have every reason to believe decisions are being made to benefit the funders. i own all you people, and i own you because i've given you money and i know you're going to return the favor in exchange. he's been in the system and he told us what the system was like, as if we needed donald trump to tell us that. we all believe this government is corrupted, that these politicians are bought. until we change the way we fund campaigns, that belief won't change. if that belief doesn't change, whatever government does, we have no reason to get engaged democratically to respond to it. we just sit back in our cynical way on the couch saying that's just politicians in the way politicians are always behaving. >> are any candidates speaking to you? >> every one of the democrats have on their websites and in their policy papers policies, which if enacted, would address this problem. they're not out there explaining to the american people this is what we have to do first. it's just not credible to talk about breaking up the banks when wall street and the financial industry is

they can't just be funders of war. they have to be part of a collective effort toward peace. and i just don't know, ray, if the iranian government is willing to do that. because you see the gentle nice veneer of the iranian government at the nuclear talks in the person of the foreign minister, but we also know that the iranian government has a hard edged cynical side of it, and in the revolutionary guard, the head of the guard, they have been funding the rebellion and war in places like yemen and iraq and lebanon, and now in syria. so this is a test that we're on, and i don't know whether they can pass this test. >> almost off handedly, a senior russian was quoted it would be okay if assad decided to go, and was that an accident or meant for worldwide consumption? >> i guess it would feel like it would be surprising if it were an accident, since the russians are an authoritarian government, and one person's voice, president putin's matters more than anyone else's. so i was a bit surprised to hear that statement. the russian government has made it clear they wish assad to rema

it is kind of inevitable that the funders putting this money to work will not see it all back.ly: are we in a bubble? is the bubble going to pop? chris: there are multiple ways to define that bubble. emily: yes or no? chris: yes, a lot of these companies are going to go away. there will be impacts for real estate and stuff like that. do i think it will be like the year 2000, when you can't get a u-haul because they are gone all one way out of town, no, i don't think so because this is the epicenter of innovation. it is just a little out of whack right now. emily: what you think is the biggest problem in silicon valley that is not being talked about now? chris: there is nobody normal left here anymore. all of the actual, normal, regular people have been priced out. the artists cannot live here anymore. the musicians cannot live here. you do not even meet nurses -- or doctors, frankly, who can afford this city. that is messed up. i just think the biggest problem here is computer science programs are so lucrative now, that kids do not need to pay money to go to them. they do not n
