today surveymonkey also named its new ceo, a longtime executive.nd hp he left hb seven days ago. said he was going on to pursue another opportunity. now we know what that opportunity was. what we are learning is that bill and dave had been friends for 30 years. they met in college and the week that dave passed away, surveymonkey was planning to add bill to the board. to recruit him. we know that surveymonkey interviewed or looked at 75 potential candidates for this job in silicon valley, outside silicon valley. they all the milley interviewed 12 different -- they ultimately interviewed 12 different people. there were strong internal candidates as well. but ultimately they went with a man who dave was friends with in a long time. we will speak to bill on "bloomberg west" and it will be interesting to asking his vision for the company and how did he realize his vision as well as vision, a person who is blessed by so many in silicon valley, but certainly his employees. alix: really looking forward to that. thank you so much, emily chang. looking forward to that interview could you c

why do we care about what that hb bulletin is doing?ing is always interesting but beyond that it is illustrative of the big pressures that are now facing u.s. shale and specifically u.s. shale if oil prices stay below $60 a barrel. erik: ok. thoughts? devin: the energy stored for me -- erik: there is a huge macroeconomic. david: look i think we have had discussion before. the idea that we are seeing growth in develop markets, eurozone, u.s. japan are leading the growth charts after aggressive easing's in the last five years. the euro is going forward where the u.s. left off and that leaves emerging markets in the dust. emergency markets are the biggest commodity users and they will use less and demand falls. all these guys -- all the commodity guys have to come to grips with the fact that the emerging world is not the leading growth anymore and it will be developed market leading growth and you will have to suffer. people put too much money. you've got to restructure. matt: when the oil price started coming down drastically, bank stocks

we saw that with the garret -- the hb hack that had powerpoint presentations describing how they were going to harass. wikileaks and various different critics. i think what you're doing is fantastic. but how do you reach out and include the intelligence community in this effort? because i think the worst abuses are probably happening there. >> and to repeat the question, she was asking about the increasing privatization of intelligence and how we get oversight control of private companies that are doing work that used to be in the purview of -- >> well, this is -- this is the biggest development, one of the biggest in the last 40 years. the explosive growth of the government side of intelligence, the expansion of the nsa to some degree the cia and others. and, of course the new layer of director of national intelligence with hundreds if not thousands of employees. that's a separate issue. so the government's side of it has grown explosively. but then you have the contractors. and i don't think in our time, in our ancient time there were private contractors in this so-called community.

i had no choice but to start the binge watching on hb go. they all swear to me it is the writing. it is characters, that is what they're telling me. and that it is, also criticized by the way for being very violent. it has gotten more violent supposedly as the show has gone on. >> that is part of the reason why it is so popular. it is controversial. people are talking about this was problematic. this was too violent. this was sex, controversy is free publicity. people want to check it out. and apparently addictive. >> streaming obviously is the thing for people like me need to catch up to binge watch. put netflix aside, over to hbo. you know, i think that, becoming the new way we can consume our media. >> millenials don't have tv. h. i don't have tv. >> you doesn't have television at all? >> everything is streamed. maria: that's interesting. >> this will be good for these guys. for actors as well. john snow is hot. i keep being told that i don't know. to be continued, guys. obviously you're not a fan as well? >> i haven't really watched it.
