. >> there is a difference between the movie and walter isaacson's biography it's based on. walter isaacson is a tremendous journalist but it's his job to be object of, iveobjective, it's my job to be subjective. that's what the movie is. it's non-fiction. but as you said, it's the difference between a painting and a photograph. >> it is causing a lot of controversy. in the wall street journal yesterday, jobs' widow, is reported to have tried to kill the movie saying it paints negative picture of him. what is your response to the controversy? >> mrs. jobs hasn't seen the movie. when she does, if she does, i think she'll be pleasantly surprised. i don't think it's what she expects it to be. >> in fact, tim cook took some umbrage -- >> tim cook also at the time he made that statement at the time he took umbrage, he hadn't seen the movie. the studio since set up a screening for him and he hasn't said anything since. but, again, with -- certainly with mrs. jobs and yesterday was the anniversary of steve's death, four years, with tim cook who was such a good friend, i don't begru

some of the executives at the company have mixed feelings about it, because it is based on a walter isaacson'sook, "steve jobs," which many people at the company say they did not like, saying it captured only one side of steve jobs. i think the movie, being based on that book, is the root of the issue. emily: i do want to talk to you about apple today. we have a story out about apple pay. tim cook said it would be the year of apple pay, and yet it's not seeing a lot of adoptions by retailers and also consumers. what is going wrong? do we just need to give apple some time? >> i don't think this is a problem unique to apple. i think mobile payments thus far, the hype hasn't matched with reality. a big part of it is, taking out a debit card and having it swiped at starbucks is not a difficult thing to do. the idea of taking out a phone, putting your thumb print over the thing, and having it work is a little bit of a cumbersome process. you see it coming to apple watch, and so there are other elements to it that, maybe over time, some of that friction will deteriorate. right now, it's not making m

briefly, if i could, thank david bradley and james bennett for guiding this amazing magazine, and walter isaacson, guiding the aspen institute. what you have done is amazing. so, what is unique and different about the news, if you will, that you refer to, is that my partners at generation and i set out 11 years ago, spent the first year setting this up, set out to invest in a completely different way, by fully integrating environmental factors, social factors, ethical factors, sustainability writ large into every part of the investment process. our mission has been to prove the business case that, if investors rather than assume that the environment social government factors are more or less extraneous, kind of distractions that will hurt returns if they really pay attention to them, if instead the investment process is designed to fully integrate them into every part of the analysis, and all decision-making, you can enhance returns. we have only had 10 years, and i learned to knock on wood, whatever this is. there's got to be wood in there somewhere. but 10 years is long enough to get some evide

she was not on board with the authorized biography written by walter isaacson and this is adaptations great readable book. neil: he had talked to him. >> of course for a long time. steve wozniak, cofounder of apple consulted on this movie. according to the journal they paid him 200 grand. there is some credibility. the reason his widow will not be happy, reason people in his family will not be happy elements of steve jobs's personal life reported on in the past are not exactly positive things. first daughter he had, woman with at the time. apparently a lot of that in the movie. neil: he was not a nice guy but he was a genius. any shockers here? >> not necessarily shocking to me because he is the creator of the most valuable company in the world. to do that you probably have pretty strong personality traits that have been well-documented by lots of different journalists but aaron sorkin who wrote the film, coming out of this friday, based on certain stories. taking three different slices of job's career. all the stuff comes from before even iphone came out. it is legislative look. nei

the new film is based loosely on the best selling biography that was written by walter isaacson with job's approval. but some say that the jobs fans won't be so happy with this new film and the r-rated movie "jobs," portrayed as ruthless and unsympathetic. >>> the half moon bay pumpkin layoff is next monday. before that as rosemary orozco tells thaws there are plenty of other fun -- tells us that there are plenty of other fun events. >> it is october and fleet week 2015 is underway. with that we begin our weekend watch. the san francisco celebration includes free ship tours, a festival on the marina green and their water front air show including the highly anticipated blue angels. they'll go through sunday. starting at 9:00 and the air show starts at 12:30. >>> and also in san francisco, the oldest italian parade in america will fill the streets on sunday. and the columbus day parade starts at 12:30 and will move from their wharf to washington square. >>> the 25th annual san carlos arts and wine festival happening this weekend as the family event would feature their art work, live en

then before that walter isaacson, what a treat that was. what a wonderful speaker. is even a better speaker and it seems before. we all know he's a great writer. is a wonderful conversationalist. before the launch of his new book about humboldt and that was there interesting event. she was telling me, telling us how whatever tricks, was little bit of when a mine, too, that she liked, she had to go wherever humboldt went so she got to go to some pretty exciting places. and she showed a lot of pictures to one -- what a wonderful treat it is to be. i thought, not going to repeat in general but i thought i would read just a brief passage from the preface of my book at that use that as a launching planet -- pad without reading. george washington was a great political after he had ever seen your and he could command by gesture, by a motion, by a look. and one of his most heinous such acts occurred at the new berg conspiracy. than uber conspiracy don't know is when, though many of you probably do, was when the troops were going to revolt at some of them were pushing him to

earlier today walter isaacson discussed his book, the 0 -- in which he places creativity at the intersection of science and art. danielle allen, the author of "our declaration" finds her creativity at the intersection of classical studies and plate theory, a subject of which she is a master or a doctor, because she holds ph.ds in in both subjects. isaacson found that the brilliant that gave the world the programmable commuter and the internet could not have come from the inspired efforts of an effort. they sprang from the collaboration of many inspired individuals. similarly, dr. allen finds the assembling of the 1,337 words of the declaration of independence was the result of a vast array of conversations, collaborations, and debates among a surprisingly large number of collaborators. indeed, this book itself is a brilliance born of collaboration. while a single hand, hers, wrote the text, the thought, the analysis, the philosophy, embodied thin, is a result of more than a decade of co lab racing, debate -- collaboration, debate, and discussions between her and her students. she received mu

walter isaacson's book. it wasn't just authorized, it was requested.e access. he was given instructions by both steve and laureen not to white-wash anything or pull any punches. between the book and the -- sort of the first-person research that i did, there is no question but that he was a difficult and complicated man with a temper who would express his displeasure in ways that weren't always comfortable for the people he worked with. >> i can only imagin all the time you spent trying to get into his head. what did you learn about the real steve jobs by trying to create this character of steve jobs? >> i think the biggest thing i learned about steve jobs is that i'm never going to know who steve jobs is. he is just much too complicated. so i just knew pretty early on that there was no point in trying to write the steve jobs story, in trying to write a bio-pic, trying to get all of him into a two-hour movie. this movie has a much narrower lens and as a result i think it's pretty exciting. >> i am interested. i covered tech for years. it certainly didn'

i didn't read the walter isaacson book. i just read the movie and talked to the people involved, and did a lot of research about steve wozniak, and i find the movie incredibly interesting. i am in the movie which adds bias to that opinion, but i feel though personally, i don't feel you have to be at all interested in apple or any computer to enjoy the movie, because i wasn't, and di. deirdre: we know steve wozniak is particularly a fan of yours. i want to ask you more of an emotional question. steve jobs' wife did not want this released. did that color, does that color the way that you see it or that any of your co-stars see it? >> no, honestly. i imagine that when most movies are made about public figures, their family has very conflicted feelings about that, and the people who knew them closely, conflicted feelings about that, and i sympathize with that, but at the same time, once you cross a certain threshold of impact culturally, i think you kind of become everyones to interpret in some way, and that doesn't mean it has

but also, is it loosely based on the walter isaacson book or no? >> it is. yeah. that was the source material. and then it's dramatized in three acts. it's the 40 minutes leading up to the launch of three apple products and kinda what's going on backstage. >> jimmy: i love that. what a great take. >> it's amazing. and i play a guy who's way smarter than me. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah. >> not my general bag. >> jimmy: no. you were fan -- you know what i realized too, cause i was watching a couple scenes where you had longer hair, and you guys are young, you and steve jobs or you're playing steve wozniak. >> yes i am. >> jimmy: who is brilliant. >> the waz. >> jimmy: the waz. >> the co-founder. >> jimmy; and you guys are starting, you guys are both young in some scenes and then i go, later on, you're just kind of you with different glasses. >> yeah. >> jimmy: but you have a -- it looked like a different person. >> i'm very susceptible to glasses. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's the thing, yeah. >> i have a great face for glasses. they have an amazing wig department,

and they used as a joke in the walter isaacson book, that he was to product launches what vatican 2 waso church meetings. everybody's followed the template. they launch toothbrushes now. anything they'll launch with a kind of ceo walking around and kind of chatting in a friendly style. so to take those -- to take that public image of him, which is the image he wanted to give you, and to go wait, justify before you get to that, in the 40 minutes before he walks out on stage, here are six important people and what happens to them and him in the moments before he walks out on stage. it's a wonderful like okay, i have to rethink what i think. you know, i have to think different. so that was the idea of it. >> when i think about you i think about "slumdog millionaire," which is this massive exuberant tapestry, extremely colorful, a million different locations, right? and this is people talking in rooms, basically. like how do you approach that as a director? >> there's a couple of things really. you say what's the organic life of it? and of course it's this man's restlessness, actually. whic

it looked back to the 2011 walter isaacson's biography.er how could they take a 600 plus page book and condense it to tell a story. i asked screen writer aaron sork kin how he did it. >> before i knew what i wanted to do i knew what i didn't want to do. that was write a biopic. there were stories i could tell that would drama advertise to me what'sing from about steve and the people around steve by telling them in real time. the movie is just three scenes in the minutes leading up to a product launch and set it all backstage. it was one of those it's so crazy it just might work. >> it just worked. >> it just worked. there's been controversy about the movie. jobs' wife hasn't been all that supportive. >> so people wouldn't see it? >> so people wouldn't see it. we asked some of the cast members, people who are not that familiar with the life of steve jobs and what they would take away after seeing this movie. >> i don't think the movie is too judgmental of him either way. i don't think it is telling the audience to think, oh, he's a good guy

tavis smiley, isaac -- walter isaacson one person rodriquez peter schweitzer

. >> the precursor to this was wat walter isaacson's book.his relationship with his first daughter. why that much on the personal life? >> that's right. that is the part that interested me, those conflicts. this isn't really an infantion story about inventing the mac or the ipod or iphone. steve jobs was a complicated man who had complicated relationships as you mentioned with his eldest daughter lisa. he did he understand paternity the first part of his life and they had an unusual relationship after that. a relationship with his partner steve wozniak and onetime boss john skulley and joanna hoffman who was the director of marketing. >> but does that, in some way -- we know that tim cook is the current ceo of apple, as long as lauren jobs, steve jobs' late wife went to the studios and tried to block this movie. how was that pressure, danny? >> you got it. when you believe in something, like the guy himself, when you believe in something, you sometimes have to continue that belief, despite the forces that might be reined against you. the peop

. >> you generously gave walter isaacson and great deal of credit he wrote the book the innovators andfinally got the story right. >> i got the book for christmas it is a wonderful book. and i started to read out loud to my husband and and i started to read out loud to my husband and it was wonderful to see that. >> to have the cool gadgets but he has not visited that facility. >> now while i have been there. >>. >> we are a miniscule part of the research and development we could get our mission to get the amazing things with my chain of command to give us room to do that. >> define your mission and. and in the national security rolm but to hit above its weight for budget darpa is one of the most known and respected institutions of advanced technology how do define your mission? >> the trigger events of 1967 when they first bill the first artificial satellite. so that was of very unpleasant surprise. that is the range of smart things and one was to create darpa. so our job from the very beginning then they realize the way prevent surprise is create surprises of your own. so these are d

walter isaacson's book. just wasn't authorized. it was requested. steve gave him complete access.s given instructions by steve and lore even not to whitewash anything or pull any punches. and between the book and the sort of the first person research that i did, there's no question but that he was a difficult and complicated man with a temper who would express his displeasure in ways that weren't always comfortable for the people he worked with. >> i can only imagine all the time you spent trying to get into his head. what did you learn about the real steve jobs by trying to create this character of steve jobs? >> i think the biggest thing i learned about steve jobs is that i'm never going to know who steve jobs is. he's just much too complicated. and so i just knew pretty early on that there was no point in trying to write the steve jobs story in trying to write a biopic and trying to get all of him into a two-hour movie. so this movie has a much narrower lens and as a result, i think it's pretty exciting. >> i'm interested, i've covered tech for years. it really certainly didn't

tavis smiley, isaac -- walter isaacson one person rodriquez peter schweitzer he saw the authors we have had on this year. go to booktv.org you can see any author but tonight we want to show you two of them. ow was coat pink founded? >> guest: we were a group of women environmentalists that were sitting together in a retreat right every 9/11 -- right after 9/11, talking about how to deal with the climate crisis, and during our lunch break we started talking about the 9/11 attack, the pending war with iraq, the u.s. had just invaded afghanistan, and we were talking about how horrible it was that the u.s. was about to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, and we started laughing about the color code alerts. remember the george w. bush alerts, yellow, orange, red, and said it was to keep people in a state of fear, and that we needed another color coded alert to say, there's a different way of dealing with this. we go after whoever attacked us, not wholesale invasion of countries, that's when we came up with the idea of codepink. we originally wanted to by code -- code hot pink

on the board is walter isaacson who went through a similar period when someone didn't know how much toose about steve jobs' pancreatic canser >> he will do it right if it's done right. heart is a difficult issue. those of us who had relatives who suffer from heart it can be more day to day than you would like. i value some of the privacy. delta had a big move yesterday, the airlines want to move even though spirit really cratered. i think a lot of this is because the flow throughs to the bottom line for fuel oil, whether for -- for jet fuel, whether united or delta is pretty positive. bill miller was on last week saying that this group -- amazing mutual fund measure still the cheapest group in the market. i think the numbers kromg back for this group sniefs surprised by the way -- first articles about parker and american and how smoothly that transition has been so far. surprising. >> yeah, you will want to wait and see. >> we haven't mentioned verizon as well. we should probably get to that. the stock is up a bit after the company reported earnings that actually met and in some cases

. >> walter isaacson's book. movie did not paint him as the best person. film he says on screen i am poorly made. stuart: the genius that he was, mover and shaker. >> you get the qualities that the film is a fair portrayal of who he was. shows the bad and the good and the genius but you get a fair portrayal. stuart: it is a biopic. >> the three act structure, is -- an interesting -- stuart: if one is terrible and 5 is fabulous. >> i think it is -- best picture nomination. it will be one of the best reviewed movie of the year. i loved every second of it. stuart: you are all right. >> love your set. stuart: glad to have you. walking dead blocking the trend in the new age of streaming, it has become a part and television. huge ratings, big money, people tune in to watch it specifically. one of the producers behind the show joins me next. awe believe active management can protect capital long term. active management can tap global insights. active management can seek to outperform. that's the power of active management. you wouldn't take medicine without check

we were out there driving around in the car, you, me, walter isaacson and somebody called sid blumenthal. he didn't have much of a paycheck but had a lot of influence. there are certain kind of people who have been journalists who are good at pollinating. they'll have an angle, usually negative. and they can plant it in a lot of different places. you'll see a column show up against you. i've been through this. that guy doesn't even know me, why is he coming out against me? think about guys like sid. they're like characters out of ayn rand like ellsworth tuohy. and they manage to get stories out, whether monica lewinsky being a stalker, i don't know who put that one out, but he's very good at it. people like sid, he's charming and a great sense of humor and boy does he have the scuttle butt. he's enjoyable to be with. he's not enjoyable as an adversary. he's so loyal to the clintons, it has to be a matter of religion. he fell in love with the clintons to the point that the people in days inn said he's more in the tank than we are, than carville and begala. he was totally in love with bill

we have one more opportunity to talk to walter isaacson and dick parsons.ven't gotten to? >> the dysfunction in washington. the fact that if they don't elect a speaker of the house, you have a government shutdown. >> andrew, are you saying no? >> no, i'm agreeing with you. >> you could have an easy way out, which is to have somebody respected leak a paul ryan. he is going to have to figure out how to get at it. or you are going to have the 40-person freedom caucus block that. you are going to have a bad problem. you talk about the fed raising interest rates in december. they are going to have to wait to see if there is a speaker of the house that will allow the government to continue. >> we will actually see john boehner do something and get a deal done to get us through the end of the year. make sure the incoming speaker of the house, whoever it is. >> that's through the end of the year. >> i think that's possible. they are in a mess right now. walter is right. they don't know which way they are going. i think ryan would be -- i think he is going to emerge

walter isaacson is a tremendous journalist, but it's his job to be objective and it's my job to be subjective. so that's what the movie is. t'stnonfiction but it is, as ou said, it's the difference between a painting and a photograph. >> it is causing a lot of controversy in "the wall street journal" yesterday and jobs widow lore even powell was reported with him trying to kill the movie saying it paints a really negative picture of him. >> right. >> what was the response to all the controversy? >> mrs. jobs hasn't seen the movie, and it's important to remember that. think she will be pleasantly sphitsd. i don't think it's what she expects it to be. >> in fact, tim cook took some umbrage. >> tim cook also at the time that he made that statement, the time he took umbrage he hadn't seen the movie, the studio since set up a screening forum and -- and he hasn't set anything since, but, again, with -- certainly with mrs. jobs and yesterday was the anniversary of steve's death, four years, with mrs. jobs, with tim cook who was such a good friend, i don't begrudge them wanting to protect an old frie

well, as you know, the movie is based on the -- loosely based on the biography by isaac isaacson, and i helped walter with that and appear a little bit in the book. no, aaron sorkin wrote the script, and i think he did a fabulous job capturing a complex character that was steve jobs. why did he do a great job? how did he capture it to the point that you think he deserves praise? >> i think he captured the good, the bad, and the ugly all in one -- kind of in one fail swoop. you see the anger and the wrath of steve jobs in this movie, but you also see the tenderness that he had and it was -- he was that kind of a character. his emotions spanned the whole spectrum, and i think they did a good job in capturing that movie. the character, joanna hoffman, played by kate winslet, i think there's, like, 15 people packed into that character, and i think that that's the vehicle through which all of steve's emotions get displayed. >> there were three events, andy, that the movie seems to revolve around. the introduction of the mcintosh in 1984. the debut of the next cube in 19 8, and then in 1998 the i mac. what
