jon erlichman is with us from l.a..he mega-rounds of funding, there have been 11 nine-figure rounds this year. when it comes to hortonworks, how did you come to the decision to raise more money as opposed to going public? >> we have a response ability on the board to make sure the public -- the company is ready to go public. we're finding that there is such pressure from the public investors to participate early, they are fighting for ipo allocations when they don't realize they can go to the company prior to that. it allows us to build a company that has the foundation to be, not a groupon or a zynga in the book market, where we have predictability in the performance of six plus quarters. we know what the future looks like. we have also started a relationship with their long-term capital base. blackrock and passport are fantastic holders in the public market. the company gets to know them and it puts pressure on the traditional late-stage venture market because there is a new after. >> your partner was on a couple of w

jon erlichman is also with us from l.a.. these mega rounds of funding, there have been what, 11 nine figure rounds this year? >> yes. >> how did you make the decision to make -- raise more money as opposed to going public? >> we have a fiduciary responsibility to make sure the company is ready to go public. we are finding such pressure from public market investors and hedge funds to participate early , they fight for ipo when they realize they could go directly to the company. it allows us to build a company that has the foundation to be not a groupon or zynga in the public market, where we have predictability in the performance of six court orders. we know what the future looks like. a have also started relationship with our long-term capital base. the company gets to know them, they are engaged. it puts real pressure on the traditional market, because there is a new actor in the late stage occupied by these public investors. >> your partner was on a couple of weeks ago saying that there are ridiculous amounts of capital ch

the oscar nominated director joins us from l.a.at the museum of tolerance and you meet matthew. tell me about that meeting. >> i had been there at the museum of tolerance for about five years prior to matthew coming on to the scene. we had stepped out to have coffee and to discuss a group that was coming into the museum, a school group. there was a specific hotdog thag stand that was there. i told him, and there was a whole bunch of questions. a very awkward moment for the both of us. >> away makes the story rather remarkable in a way is forgiveness didn't come easy. >> that was a big motivation of the film to explore the process of forgiveness that the two had to go through. it's not cut and dried, not an overnight thing, both of them had personal issues they were struggling with both matthew and tim. and it took a lot. they were not necessarily wanting to be around each other from the get go and finally did this presence. we had to examine how they ended up in the place they were now. >> matthew, it's difficult to imagine for som

david undercoffler is an auto writer for "the los angeles times," and joins us tonight from l.a.elcome. >> thank you, good to be here. >> how damaging is this to gm? >> in the short term it's very damaging, to the tune of 2-3 billion. that's the figure we got from an analyst, once you factor in lawsuits, the cost of the recalls, civil penalties and the potential fall in stock price. long-term, if toyota is any indication, gm could come out of this pretty well unscathed. if you look at 2009 and 2010, things were worse for toyota than gm. by 2013 toyota rebounded to become the number one automaker and that was the second consecutive year. >> it took a while, right. >> it did. heavy incentives on toyota's part to sell the vehicles at a higher rate. it took marketing towards the safety features. they had to rebuild their reputation. how does general motors do that. they have to come clean, right. >> they do have to come clean, and to their credit they have done a good job of that. mary barra has been forthcoming in saying, "look, we screwed up, we know that. now we are doing whatever

also with us, john ehrlichman from l.a..s you understand it, how would this work between the hardware, software, and agreement that needs to get done? >> i think apple would provide the set top box, also could provide some of the cloud services. comcast would offer the pipes. essentially, what the article was alluding to is apple would like to be looked upon as managed services. apple tv would be considered a managed service just like telephone lines and on demand video. it would not get caught up in the buffering on the public internet. >> jon, explain what apple is asking for and why would comcast give apple what it wants? >> on the issue of having faster service, i think they want the same thing netflix has because a lot of people are using itunes to watch movies. you don't want that experience interrupted. as for whether or not they would be allowed to muscle into the world that is comcast with a box, that is an important question. comcast already has a next-generation box. we don't talk a lot about it because the cable

steve moore is also with us joining us from l.a. a retired supervisory fbi agent, also a pilot.you both, this new information, the satellite image, is it hopeful? does it make you hopeful? >> it makes me hopeful, but also cautious. because you know, we got excited once before when the chinese provided an image. i have a feeling that we've seen a degraded image so the image others have looked at is probably better than what we're seeing. >> i heard you mention that earlier in the hour. i think it bears repeating. >> you know -- >> you don't want to show all your cards. >> you don't want to show your true capability. it's funny. the government has to have the best imagery throughout yet we're bringing in commercial satellites to get better imagery. so, that just tells you that there are national security interests always running in the background. >> and steve, that's obviously something the layman doesn't know much about but we certainly have an imagination so we can run with that. is there anything to this notion, some are saying they have the prime minister of australia announc

from traditional tobacco cigarettes to this technology. >> reporter: but, the industry is facing a headwind. in march, lawmakers in los angeles banned the use of e-cigarettes in public places. l.a. council member proposed the new law. the problem, he says, is that many e-cigarettes contain nicotine. he says that makes them as harmful as tobacco cigarettes to everyone standing near the smoker. lawmakers in new york city and in the state of new jersey have passed similar rulings. officials elsewhere are following suit. one of their concerns is that the nicotine in e-cigarettes poses a danger to minors. one survey suggested that 10% of all high school students have used e-cigarettes. a figure that has doubled in the space of a year. >> it looks better in different -- just different varieties of it. you're not going to find a pink cigarette anywhere. >> reporter: authorities are worried that minors who are exposed to nicotine through e-cigarettes may eventually end up smoking real cigarettes. there are growing calls to impose an age limit on users. >> it is incredibly important that we not allow children to be marketed to. we want to be very careful that we don't create a new trend
