joining me today on studio 1.0, arianna huffington. cofounder of "the huffington post."anna, thank you so much for being here. you for having me. emily: verizon which owns aol and the huffington post say they will bid for yahoo!. do you believe verizon has a longtime content strategy that include yahoo! and the huffington post and if so, what is it? ms. huffington: verizon has decided, and that is, of course, the reason why they bought "the huffington post, and wrote -- post," that the future for them has to include a very robust media technology company. yahoo! would fit very well in the strategy. there is competition. so there is software and maybe google so we will see what , happens. emily: what are the synergies you see with verizon and the huffington post? ms. huffington: verizon has huge distribution potential for us, especially since we are moving more and more into video. they have launched go 90 which is their mobile video play and has produced and paid for great content from many providers. us,his is fantastic for because it gives us great distribution. emily:

huffington: i think so.ent, ifomen for a you really make diversity and hiring women and encouraging them to get to the top from day one, you are going to act in ways that increase the pool from which women apply to join the ranks. women, according to the latest medical science, process things differently. we internalize stress more. women in stressful jobs which i'm sure includes every job in greaterey, have a 40% risk of heart disease and a 60% greater risk of diabetes. you see a lot of women drop out. that is one of the things that needs to be stopped. i feel that is the next revolution. get to thee want to top of whatever world we are competing in but they also say we want to change the world. the way places have been sustained -- but designed by men have not been sustainable. emily: why is this just a problem with women in engineering and venture capital? there are just not enough. ms. huffington: i think the problem has a lot to do with the bernard conscience. it's important to look at the price we are

"huffpo"antastic for because it gives great distribution. emily: what do you think of the wireless company getting into content? it is an interesting new world. >> i think it is a smart move because the world is changing. it is really the animator's did -- innovator's dilemma. if you do not change fast enough, then it is too late to change. in a sense, if the new york times had changed early enough when it came to digital technology, there would be no room for the h

people stay up, looking at huffington post all hours of the night. the problem, you realize. >> i know. i know i'm part of the problem. that's why i'm atoning by giving people the latest science on why sleep is incredibly important. you cannot negotiate about your sleep. you cannot shortchange your sleep. look at you, stephen. you're incredibly successful. >> phil: thank you.

and the huffington post. listen to what she told me. huffington: yahoo!a hybrid, a journalistic enterprise, and a platform, and it owns tumblr, which i think is a great asset. as more and more people want to express their views in more than 140 characters, you have an incredible opportunity to use tumblr to allow people to express their views. we see this is for us one of the most important monetization channels. emily: yahoo! is not the only major tech player to report earnings next week. do you know if we will hear about this on the earnings call? ovide: i cannot imagine they will say anything specific on the earnings call about the number of bidders or if the company will be sold or kept intact or whatever. it's hard to imagine they would say anything like that. emily: how long does the process take? ovide: it's really unclear. the clock is ticking a little bit because they are staring at a shareholder meeting sometime in june or july where an activist shareholder is trying to throw out the entire board. you can imagine a scenario where the board chang

arianna huffington has a new book out that she hopes will have you snoring. again not now, but i'll let her explain. >>> but first, here's my take. in an interview during the 2008 campaign, barack obama explained that ronald reagan had changed the trajectory of america in a way that richard nixon and bill clinton had not. clearly he aspired to be a transformational president like reagan. at this point it's fair to say that he has succeeded. look at what's happened during his tenure to the country, his party and most telling, the opposition. the first line in obama's biography would have to do with who he is, the first african-american president. but what he has done is also significant. obama's signal accomplishment is healthcare of course, where he was able to enact a law that has resulted in 90% of americans now having health insurance. while the law has its problems, it achieves a goal first articulated by theodore roosevelt 100 years ago. then there's the transformation of america's energy policy. the administration has made investments and given a variet
