bill gates: right.sing the idea of all of the government's behavior with accessing information in the past, nobody would want to do that. there are cases -- more j edgar hoover, it's more clear. so the idea that you are forcing the discussion about about what would it mean if you cannot trust the government ever to get banking information or call information or iphone information -- it would be great if we could agree on what safeguards would get us back to saying that at least this government is working on our behalf when it is trying to track down terrorists. charlie: apple must have known this was coming because between ios 7 and ios 8 you have a very different situation. bill gates: the information on that phone is accessible to apple. if anybody was confused about that now they are not. that information is accessible to apple. but it doesn't really matter. it's like your bank saying we cannot possibly access your account information. they can and they can resist court orders if they choose to as we

gates: all of the time.n the recent testimony, you have the leadership in the pentagon telling the congress that they have 24% of the facilities the military has in the united states are excess to need. but the congress will not let the military shut them down to save the overhead. brian: what is the solution to that? sec. gates: i think the question is if you have one of these long and drawnout processes where you appoint commissions to look at military facilities and then you present the congress with an up-and-down vote on a list of bases, it takes years and it is very expensive and so on. my view is, the congress ought to authorize the secretary of defense to be able to close facilities when the service will testify that there is no longer a need for that facility, or for that weapon system or piece of equipment. when i was secretary in 2009, most of my predecessors canceled, if they were lucky, one or two or three major chairmans. i remember when dick cheney was secretary under the first president bush,

secretary gates: no. sent a copy to president bush, so i think most people thought it was pretty fair. brian lamb: what was more interesting to write and how much of it did you write yourself? secretary gates: i wrote both of them entirely myself. i did not even have a research assistant. that is something i was proud of. i did it all myself, and none of the reviews or anybody to this point has pointed out a factual error. i feel pretty good about that. i have to thank google and wikipedia for that. i wrote them both myself. "duty" was more an integration of documents. of things toa lot pull together, and put to gether a coherent story. this new book "a passion for leadership," was based on experiences i had 50 years ago. brian lamb: are you going to do another book? secretary gates: publishers have been talking to me. i am not sure i am ready to have another baby. brian lamb: what subject would you write it about? secretary gates: i would take on more of a policy subject. brian lamb: our guest has been r

building the golden gate bridge. the thing is, around 1936, new union movement was afoot in the bay area. and it seems to me, following the great 1934 maritime strike that was one. employers were little bit on the defensive. strauss, himself, i think, i don't know this for sure, but i'm pretty sure that this is probably what he thought, he thought there would have to be safety, get ahead of the grave here. sure we areke ahead. he insisted that harnesses be used. beinsisted that hardhats used, these renovations at the time. feete, in some cases, 700 in the air working over the ocean without this kind of safety. he insisted on that. he also brought the idea for us to have a net, it did not cost a lot, it was made of a thick rope, a safety net, you can see a picture of it there, strauss brought in and said that this was going to be important. he also thought that workers would work faster if they had a safety net under them. that was part of the thinking. safety is credited with -- saving 19 people who fell into it. one

secretary gates: i think it is a concern.xample, i have been offered the opportunity to serve on the board of defense contractors and i have turned it down. the only board of directors i serve on is starbucks, and i think the people have to be more sensitive to the appearances of things. . think you can take it too far for example, we have reached a point where the ethics rules for people coming into the government are so strict that it makes it very difficult, and let's just take defense industries as an example. thisu have worked in industry and know-how in defense contracts works, if you know how the contractors play the game and you have worked for one of them, chances are you are not going to be allowed to become a senior official in the department of defense under the current ethics rules. what you end up with, and who you end up with in the senior or stafferscademics or people who have no real world experience in defense contracting, and it seems to me through transparency or blind trust, there ought to be a way for pe

i mean, interesting to see bill gates. he's the first really heavy weight in technology that's come out against silicon valley. google ceo, twitter ceo, mark zuckerberg have all come to tim cook and apple's defense. >> it's certainly a tricky one. making that clear point this is a specific case, it's not like you're opening this up on all issues moving forward. that's echoing a similar sentiment to what the fbi director was talking about yesterday. >> and on "squawk alley," they talked to the former cto in the obama administration. also talking about what a slippery slope this would be, to have apple open up that iphone. we talked to daryl issa, also siding with apple. it really is pitting some unusual people. in corporate news, speaking of silicon valley, google is reportedly closing google compare. it's the comparison shopping site for auto insurance, credit cards, and mortgages. this is according to "the wall street journal." the service is only a year old, but google says it just didn't meet expectations. >> remember t

bill gates thinks so. bill gates also said, he's a writers dream, bill gates. he said people live miserably for all of human history until the industrial revolution 250 years ago. since people are dumber than they were 250 years ago and since there were good politicians before, theanswer must be technology . the answer that transformed everything is technology. now he may well be right to some extent, although technology is also what's given us global warming so buyer beware. but the question you need to ask is, does the past condition the future? if you look at cnbc or foxbusiness news or those sorts of stations, there will be ads for hedge funds. i'm sorry, for mutual funds and there's also a moment at the end after the happy mutual fund has made their profit where a little voice comes on. the small print. it said past performance is no guarantee of you to profit. now, if bill gates was buying a company he would not say that because it's been successful for the last 50years it will be successful the next 50 years . on the contrary, the smart business decision

how is it lions gate has round tripped? in a way they have taken on the characteristics of a pharmaceutical company whose drugs are about to go off starting in 2014 investors worried about what became known at the time we weren't even halfway through "the hunger games" saga but people are concerned what happens when this the movies generated over $200 sure enough the stock peaked before the release of the final "the hunger games" film "mockingjay 2." then the stock began to slide when the opening day box office was weaker than expected. two weeks ago they reported a disappointing quarter including a 4% miss. revenues at $670 million. street was looking for $770 million. they missed by nearly $100 million. management gave negative guidance indicating the numbers are tracking below the previous forecast. no wonder the stock plummeted 27% in a day off the news. the culprit, the last "the hunger games" under performed. episodes of "orange is the new black" than expected but management indicated the tv business would be stronger

bill and melinda gates weighed in on the matter.ten in. >> it is a challenge to update the policies, including those issues of when does the government have a right to know? having a really good debate about when is that appropriate, -- the extreme view that the government always gets everything, nobody supports that. having the government be blind, people don't support that. >> were you blind-sided a bit, i came in and saw headlines that said bill gates backs fbi. bill gates: i was disappointed because that does not state my view on this. i believe that with the right safeguards there are cases where the government on our behalf, like stopping terrorism -- that is valuable. but striking that balance, clearly the government has taken information historically and used it in ways that we did not expect, going all the way back to the fbi under j edgar hoover. i'm hoping we can have the discussion. i believe there are sets of safeguards with the government should not be completely blind. >> what is to be done in this case? you were blin

rapid adaptation. >> gates team member dr. hollie putnam's job is to predict the future of climate change. or at least its to try to simulate it in these tanks. >> so what we do is we bring in corals from the field and then we fragment those individuals into different pieces and expose them to different conditions. so in here we have a fragment of that adult colony that's exposed to say high temperature or high co2 and this particular instance it's high co2. and that would simulate future ocean acidification. >> it's the first step in a process called transgenerational acclimatization. in this case, pre-conditioning an adult to ocean acidification, and then measuring whether the offspring are then better equipped to handle that same stress event. >> what are you seeing? >> they are growing faster and surviving at a higher rate if they were preconditioned to the high temperature and high co2 and then re-exposed to that high temperature and high co2. >> yeah, it's almost like you're training them to withstand the conditions that
