if you want food, local commerce, uber eats and other services will be there for you as well. emily: i guess the question is, can uber be transformational and stop losing money? the prices sound attractive, but can you create a good business when the rides are one dollar, $1.50? dara: yes. if you look at our rideshare business, it covered our overhead less $100 million, so the rideshare business itself is turning quite profitable and we believe the profits of the rideshare business will grow not only topline, but bottom-line as well, and there are other businesses, eats, autonomous -- these are extraordinary opportunities we are funding. i do believe we will prove to investors that we can take on a serial basis big parts of our business, turn them profitable, use those parts of our business to fund investments in other areas. emily: there are execution issues. you just had your biggest loss, $5.2 billion. the stock is trading below the ipo price. much more often than not. investors seem to love shorting it. you have hiring freezes on various teams. some of your top hires have

tucker is that walmart told us, and i'm speaking as a rural american, that what damage we did to local commerces balanced by giving cheap, affordable goods to the middle class, and that's okay. but once they venture into cosmic morality, don't full yourself. it's a bottom business line and they made a business decision that what customers they will lose in rural america is more than offset by what you said virtually, the wealthy liberal cosmopolitan stores but also they feel may be people will go shop more of walmart now that they are politically correct. when you juxtapose this in cosmic morality then you have to ask yourself, they are the largest importer of chinese goods and actual dollar amounts of any retailer. percentagewise maybe not quite as much as target or costco but there is a lot of people in reeducation camps in china, they have surveillance of average citizens and there's no human rights. they steal patents, copyright, they dump and manipulate currency and they've hollowed out the interior. are we going to see walmart say, you know what? just as we have taken a courageous stand a

politics could apply so i held a couple of big meetings we had at least one of our senators commerce well with local officials and the private sector to talk about the grand process to make sure everybody was engaged in this so i think the easy part was when we don't have no discretion and just to be clear on this i'm not sure i'd say we did things that we would have been able to do otherwise but we did them faster i think we were on track for broadband deployment for the smart co-development for the transportation projects but these accelerated those efforts by some estimates part perhaps five years so that's real and i started says on the transportation projects it kept people employed at a time when they needed jobs so i think that had a very positive impacts and in that sense you may recall some of our colleagues on my side of the aisle so that the time we are going to take a federal money is that driven and we don't want to cross town telling us what to do in the end of course almost every governor took almost all the money so i think they understood that it was beneficial >> what was the easie
