so you heard stephen, and i think steve mcqueen and a whole load of other creative geniuses, talk aboutadcasting. and there was a particular focus on channel 4, on what we do. it's fair to say that when you're running a business not for profit, and i've run plenty of businesses for profit, right, for private equity, for listed companies, for media moguls. so it's not like i'm unfamiliar with making a profit. running not for profit, where you're objective is about impact on britain, social impact, representation, is a very different objective. and you know, as a manager you solve for your objective. if you're at netflix, your objective is subscriber lifetime value. so we focus on how we do that, which allows us a privilege to make a lot of shows that are really different. so what's been on in the past couple of weeks, davina's menopause show, the menopause part two, something like hellraiser, something like derry girls. i don't believe that you would focus on those shows if your motivation was profit. i don't believe that you would make the paralympics at a loss. i don't believe you woul

( laughter ) they're like, "mom, you know you were born in the 1870s." and i'm like, "yes." >> stephen: do you have a favorite song of sheryl crow's? >> i do, actually. and i'm not just pumping this new album that's coming out. i wrote a song called "forever." and i think it may be out now, or coming out on may 6. i don't know. they don't tell me anything.

. >> here is a classic movie quiz. 1968's, the thomas crown affair, stars faye dunaway and steve mcqueenhe stunt work in the film? mcqueen did his own stunts. you provide the popcorn, the couch, and the tv. we will provide great movies like the thomas crown affair. >> a stylish game of cat and mouse. saturday night at 8:00. >>> kqed newsroom is back with a new set, a new look, and fresh conversations about what is new in the golden state. from sacramento to silicon valley and beyond. >> when we explore, i think there is an inane human drive to understand and to gain knowledge. i am priya david clemens, join me on kqed newsroom, where we explore the state of our state. coming up next, here, on kqed 9, or of the pbs app. >>> tonight on kqed newsroom, and update on the current rising covid-19 cases. dr. bob walker joins us and talks about his own close call with the virus. plus, in the category of the rich keep getting richer, j david mcswain shares his investigation in the pandemic profiteering, which meant hundreds of new billionaires. and what is in the multimillion dollar package to bol

and steve mcqueen -- i had a -- one of those wind-up evel knievel toys. >> jimmy: yeah >> you remembert of desire to me, i guess. >> jimmy: yeah >> and then my dad was -- was the chairman of this charity organization called "the round table" in crieff, where i come from and he -- he did this thing where he -- local kids would write to him, and he'd like -- you know - somebody wanted to ride a motorbike, and he would make that happen. so we went down, i went with him -- >> jimmy: that's nice. >> and then this little kid got to ride around -- and i was just a little kid too -- on this little motorbike. like, a little 50 cc twist and go bike. and after he'd finished and went home, my dad said, "do you want to go?" and i -- i just -- my life changed on that moment, 'cause i'd -- i never got over -- i never got over it. >> jimmy: really >> i'm still the same now.

it very much, and i'm up to the point where you're on stage between steve bannon and others, and you're there in your alexander mcqueenhe crowd is going nuts chanting usa, usa. tell me how that moment was for you. you just said, you know, you did all of this, you know, you made sure to get on stage in a sea of suits with all of these men in industry. that's got to be tough. >> it was indescribably euphoric at that moment, maria, but i think donald trump was the wish full fulfillment. i want somebody to be president who has a ton of experience but never worked in washington, no political ties. you're, like, well, who's that going to be? it was a very well known businessman and job creator, you knew him from tv, they knew the him as donald trump, the real estate developer. and then he went out there and he went to rally after rally, nook and cranny in this country. and one thing the mainstream media missed about the 2016 campaign that i write about in the book, maria, is how many local interviews donald trump provided. and others who were his surrogates. they missed that because they were only giving national coverage.
