kara swisher is the executive editor and breaking details on the story all weekend. ra, good morning to you. been watching your twitter feed as we work this morning and sounds like there's some debate about whether or not travis takes a leave. sounds like you know something >> i do. early this morning someone had tweeted he was not taking a leave. it's not been decided. it's up to him apparently. he can take a leave if he wants but not a requirement of the holder recommendations some people have been reporting it was in the holder recommendations and it's not they definitely have some issues of mismanagement and fixing those kinds of things and reading that memo i posted last week there's some issues how he conducts himself as an ceo we're looking at an attempt to overhaul a ceo rather than to put him to the side. that could change. it's uber so you never know. >> does that include michael >> no, he's gone he's negotiating his exit. i would be shocked if that changed in some way. there was a lot of pressure. i do think the holder recommendations do discuss the departu

so when kara swisher, who is another great journalist from, out of "the wall street journal" like me, and i became business partners x we started a business called all things digital which was inside of the company that owned the "wall street journal," and we started a web site in the year 2007 called all things d.com, we decided that every single writer can and editor would produce an ethics statement, including us, that when we hired people, we made them sell any stock they had in think any of these companies. if they were working someplace where this was allowed, we made them stop taking free trips, stop taking free products, stop taking discounted products. and right next to the byline we had a link to an ethics statement just like that. and we did it again when we started our own company and had recode. and that ethics statement is you printed it out, it's still there. >> host: walt mossberg is retiring as executive editor and chummist from the verge in june and as -- columnist and as editor at large and columnist for recode. our conversation with walt mossberg will continue next

i asked kara swisher about that earlier. her response to me was come on don what are you still on, dial up? a lot of things can change in eight years. especially eight years, and four years. and simply the technology had moved on from the obama -- in those four years from the obama administration. >> it was a juggernaut in 2012. there's no question about that. but yes things do change in four years. we unfortunately did not keep up with those changes to the extent we must have. >> margaret i'll give you the last word since i put words in your mouth. >> we all feel for hillary clinton. i'm not sure i have much to add. i guess what i'm trying to say to maria is sure democrats want to hear from her. but the problem with all the folks who voted for trump, that 39, 40% floor of his that's so solid behind him, if they hear hillary clinton talking about this they continue to just tune it out. they don't believe there is a russia problem. they continue to say there is not a single piece of evidence that points to collaboration with

kara swisher broke that story. she joins us this morning. >> how are you doing? >> good. your piece. the letter goes back a few years, which makes you wonder what does it say about uber's culture and leadership now? >> well, i don't know. the issue is travis also resent it a year later and quite proud of it at the time, and continued to be for a very long time. -- kind of an odd thing to -- >> i think we still can hear you okay, k.a.r.a., on the mobile phone. does it do anything to change expectations of his tenure? >> i'm not the board of uber at all. i don't know what they think of it. it doesn't reflect well on him for sure. if he's the head of a frat, i suppose it does, but it's not easy to think that it's oak to joke that you can't sleep about -- hi probably shouldn't be making a joke about that in a communication with his employees. >> when i read the internal memo uber is definitely distinct, but i wonder how common a letter like this is for silicon valley, or if it is uniquely a unique directive. you hear constantly about the frat/bro culture over there. is it mor

to kara swisher's point, this could be the most uncomfortable retreat of all time. >> an update on newsparis, france's interior minister saying the suspect that drove a van into a police vehicle on the champs-elysees is dead. the minister said a number of weapons and explosives were found in the vehicle. authorities say the suspect was lying on the ground immobilized after the attack. no injuries have been reported, other than his. the motive remains unclear. >> extraordinary. weapons, explosives, none detonated and no injuries. >>> next, seven american soldiers who were found dead in a flood department of a u.s. destroyer after it collided with a cargo ship. we're going to take you live to japan. ♪ top speed fifty knots life ♪ on the caribbean seas ♪ it's a champagne and models potpourri ♪ on my yacht made of cuban mahogany ♪ gany, gany, gany ♪ watch this (i wanted him to eat healthy., so i feed jake purina cat chow naturals indoor, a nutritious formula with no artificial flavors. made specifically for indoor cats. purina cat chow. nutrition to build better lives. we're not professiona

joining me is executive editor kara swisher who famously profiled travis in "vanity fair."ot long ago, we'll walk through what our discussion entailed. >> he was the ceo of a mess they are cleaning up now. that's pretty basic. they are resistant to remove a ceo in the founder of technology, but a number of things have been going wrong from the sexual harassment allegations, the retaliatory behavior, to the gray balling, it just adds up to a really situation there where they understripped some of the responsibilities from him. and they decided to act because they were worried about their investment interest, i think. >> kara, from a fund-raiser standpoint can we be that specific yet? >> from the ipo standpoint, they couldn't take this company public, come on. there's just too much. it's just too much that wall street could chew on and i think more importantly they need to raise money again they are going to need, according to a lot of people i've talked to, and you have to wonder how they are going to get that you know, the investors, let's be clear here, the investors toler

it was quite an interesting interview that she did with walt mossberg and kara swisher of recode. i was clear from watching her in that interview that she has spent hours and hours and hours poring through data and information and analyses to try to understand why she lost. i mean, i thought one of the more telling statements she had, and i think i'm paraphrasing here, was something to the effect of i take responsibility for every decision i made, but that wasn't why i lost. and she has found a variety of reasons other than her own skills as a candidate, the way she ran the campaign or her campaign's performance to conclude these are the reasons she lost, not any of those. now, she is rightly concerned, as everyone is, about the role of the russians and what happened in the election and whether the russians will try to do that in future elections and the degree to which the sanctity of the vote here or the sanctity of the way we operate a democracy is at risk because of what now can be done through social media and through hacking and all sorts of nefarious ways, and she is quite
