Denuclearize, we have to be sure that all the is are dotted and the ts are crossed. If north korea does not prove willing to followthrough, we have to be prepared of restoring the policy of maximum pressure. Its imperative that we get action here, not just photo ops. If kim shakes trumps hand and receives more from President Trump, look what happened to canada. Neil all right. After the sitdown, the fallout. Glad to have you. Im neil cavuto. So what now . What happens now . We have leon panetta that says that talk is one thing. Delivering is quite another. Stephen hadley on what would make this agreement even stronger. Also republican senator rand paul when sees danger not from kim jongun, get this, maybe a fellow republican senator. Hes here to explain. First to job roberts in singapore on how this face to face is playing out across the globe. John . Good morning from singapore where its 4 00 on wednesday in new york and the United States, youre still into tuesday. Tuesday here in singapore the world was marvelling, captivated by the images of the first sitting american pr, sitting down with the north Korean Leader and the two of them appearing to get along wel they had and the extended bilateral meeting over lunch and signing here a joint communique that came out of the summit. The critics have gathered voice and say President Trump gave away too much without getting anything from kim jongun. President trump saying in this communique that hes about to sign there that hes giving the north korea security guarantees in exchange for kim jonguns commitment for complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. Critics are saying that its an empty promise from north korea. Theres no verification at this point. President trump saying all of that will come later. He gave up nothing and that kim jongun was willing to go further than her hes father has previous president s. Why . Listen here. We have never gone this far. I dont thinkve ever had the confidence in a president that they have right now for getting things done and having to ability to get things done. I gave up nothing. Im here. I havent slept in 25 hours. I thought it was appropriate to do. We had been negotiating around the clock with them. We havent given up anything. Youre right. I agreed to meet. He agreed to meet. So the president gave up his time to et with kim ngun. Thedent saying that he was going to cancel the yearly joint u. S. South korea military exercises. The president called them provocative. Also overly expensive. Critics are saying the president shouldnt have given it up. The president also saying in the press conference, neil, that if the negotiations dont go the way he hopes them too, he will restart those military exercises. Where we go from here is a number of meetings that are planned with secretary of state mike pompeo and the North Koreans as well as ambassador john bolton. The republican senator out of louisiana, john kennedy suggesting that the administti has proceed ve cautiously in talks with kim jongun. Listen here. Its important to remember throughout this process that kim jongun is a butcher. Hes a butcher of his own family. Hes a butcher of his own people. Working with him is like trying to hand feet a sharp. You can do it, but you have to do it very carefully. Working with kim jongun is like hand feea ark. You can do it. You have to do it very carefully. The president saying he believes that kim jongun is sincere about wanting to give up Nuclear Weapons in exchangeor s and guarantees. The president adding that he could be back here in six months d say, well, wewrong. I think the world is hoping hes not going to be saying that six months from now. Neil . I would hope not. John robertmuch now theres this. The worsthg you can do to President Trump if youre a foreign leader is play him. So if theres a cheating north korea in the future, if theres a promise and not deliver north korea, then were probably going to have a war. Neil probably a war . That was South Carolina republican senator Lindsey Graham this morning. Not long after saying that, he added this. Im a hawkish guy. But i want peace. I dont want war. Im willing to give him security guarantees and economi opportunity that i didnt think i would have given a year ago. Neil a lot of people thinking hes responding to my next guest, rand paul. By the way, we did contact senator sg we d quite a bit. His office ed. First senator rand paul right now. Hes obviously dialled some of these remks back. I think the genesis was your criticism of them. Where do you stand on his bellicose view of things . In the midst of a historic opening of President Trump having face to face conversations with the leader of north korea, Lindsey Graham trying to declare war in the middle of th is someone living in an alternative universe. Its not helpful to talk about oh, yeah, if we dont like this were going to bomb them or declare war on them. We need to have a better understanding of the way the world works and see if we can achieve something here. Its historic that President Trump has had this meeting. Nobody else would have done it. Obama refused to meet with them. Bush wouldnt do it. They would have lawyet to death and couple up with a million reasons not to have a meeting. This is a very beginning. Im very hopeful. Neil id be remiss, senator, even though he didnt provide the statement to us, senator Lindsey Graham provided it to cnn and referred it to us. He said when it comes to fighting bad actors, senator paul is awol. I think he has a naive world view. Weve had th discussion for a while. Hes very careless about war. Also very careless about the bill of rights. I just came from the senate floor where hes objecting having the fifth amount and the sixth amendment apply to people accused of crimes in the United States. I hard to believe that theres a senator in public on the senate floor saying if your accused of a crime and Lindsey Graham calls you an enemy combatant, he can send you to guantanamo bay, no la no trial. If Lindsey Graham thinks youre an enemy comban somehow well be under martial law, that scares me to death. Scares everybody that believes in the bill of rights. Were having that fight because he blocking my amendment that would say no one accused of a crime in our country should be Spirited Away to another country and not get a trial. Neil ill belabor this one more time. I want to have Lindsey Graham on but he refuses coming object this show. Thats fine. The one thing i want to do, get your take on his two extreme views here. Theres either peace orwar. Theres no middle ground. What do you think of that . Thats typical of the n neoconer neo conservetis conservetis conservetists. John bolton, another lind see graham neocon. For him to say were going to show himhe libyan solution, which is you give up your Nuclear Weapon and then we kill you is not good either. A diplomat should think about what they say before they say them and we need to be talking about how we can denuclearize north korea and the entire korean peninsula. And the neocons think its going to be hiroshima or inconditional surrender or thats what it is, all or nothing. This is all about trying to figure out what can we give the North Koreans. So i think giv up the war games, which happens twice a year is a perfectly appropriate thing to do as President Trump said as long as theyre progress. It can easily be started again. A great first step. North korea offered to do no more testing. Thats not denuclearization, but those are two good initial steps. The neocon dont offer a carrot because theyre about the stuck. Shep john bolton was at the table. Im sure the president had that by design. John bolton and others were there. Why do you think he did that . The North Koreans were appaplectic about the situation. What is your response . Dana i hope he was at the childrens table. Shep lets talk about the North Koreans down the road and the tests and what were offering to do to stop the joint exercises for the time being. We can start those back up if were not getting signs of progress out of the North Koreans, a lot of people have looked at this and said we must have the guarantee, we must have verifiable proof that the north kos ar denuclearizing, starting to dismantle and that doesnt appear to be in this agreement. That will be over time. Neil should we have volunteered to stop texter sizes . Yeah that can easily be restarted but shows good will. Its not permanent. Its not like giving them money. Im not for giving the North Koreans any money. I would offer them the allure of trade with japan and south korea and us. Expanded trade with china and the allure of what trade and commerce brings to a country. He has to know hs traveled the world. His people may not have seen the great opulence in south korea. But he and his leaders know there is. Weed them the allure of becoming part he world of necklaces. There will have to be verifiable tests. The relinquishment of easing up on sanctions or bringing troops home are something that is out there. Its probably something over time as he shows compliance. Neil i know youve been a long critic about the troops all over the worlds. You commented on south korea. The president is open to seeing the troop number reduced as a deal with the North Koreans. The south fears by the time we reduce, the North Koreans are rearming. I proposed an in between solution six months ago. I came forward with the ility o making the forces along the dmz, makg that an International Forest and making troops part of that force. One, china does not want us in north korea. North korea doesnt want us in north korea and they would see the chinese as a deter rant. Its an idea that hasnt been discussed. As the koreas get along over time and a verifiable denuclearization, that you can go to a time when theres not troops in korea. Neil are you feeling better today than yesterday . A lot of people criticize the president for meeting with this rogue dictator as if we can pick and choose. But how do you feel today versus day . I think its a good step for the world. The people need to understand, diplomacy is easy with people like england. What is hard is when we dont agree. We shouldnt condone their human rights, but we should still have discussions and de conflictions so we dont have war. If you allow the north koreas to see the stuff made all around the world, stuff makes people hunger for freedom for. You wont need an army if they see that. We could be minutes away from finding out if at t can merge with timewarner. Why so much hangs on the balance here. Including what you download, stream and watch on tv, a lot hangs on this.

A place for mom you know your family, we know senior living. Together well make the right choice. Neil whatever your views on this agreement or the start of an agreement with the North Koreans, a lot of people said the president was folding like a cheap suit. I might point out to you sin i follow the numbers part of this, the sanctions are still very much in effect. They are among the toughest on earth. Whether or not you like the president , that has not changed. Freezing a military drill is not like folding and foddering away here. What exactly is in place remains in place against the North Koreans and how that reverberates. Charles payne from fox business network, the best selling author on that. That is what brought kim jongun to the table. Think about it. The u. S. Sanctions and we have to point out the chinese sanctions also. China applauded the summit and the communique earlrod and suggested hinting that they may start to remove the sanctions. Theyre 75, 76 of north koreas economy whether you measure exporting to imports. Neil china was to lift sanctions in effect from the world. So whats goingon here . You have the carrot and the stick. One thing that has been overlooked overnight, the economic angle. Kim jongun also, if he does give up the nukes, the declearization in addition to safety has to be something on the other side of this with respect to economic prosperity. I even took the comment that President Trump made wit respect to the beach and the condo. People got offended by that. That was another way to saying to kim jongun, you guys are sitting on something that could be amazing. Case in point. 1950, the gdp per capita in south korea was 850. North korea, 750. They understand whats going on. He understs whats going on. He was educated in the west. From his point, vantage point, a lot to give up, the power that people dont understand. Being born into a dictatorship. By the same token, its a system that cannot last forever. Neil a lot of people have a problem on the coastline question since a fifth of it is useless in the condition its in. Money can pay for a lot of new coastlines. Look what weve done. Having said that, is there a sense here that this really bothers a lot on either side of the aisle that were propping up and evil guy . We cant pick and choose who we deal with. Its like stalin and world war ii. Its difficult. If we want resolution i wish the critics would lay out the ideal way of getting this. Before we were prodding and pushing into a nuclear war, which didnt happen. Now were dealing with a dictator. Yes, were dealing with a dictator with a nuke. We made overages with cuba and obama. We dealt with a dictator. Yeah, it deverts from the issue at hand. How do we curb the Nuclear Ambitions of kim jongun. How do we lass him in before we have to do something before theres serious class raleigh damages. Neil thanks, charles. My friend. Well soon find out, wont we . By the way, weve taken this trip be we hope the third time is not the charm judging from past failures. Leon panetta on how we avoid that. Hes been watching this next.

Neil i would be curious how you feel in talking to either barack obama, if you have, or to bill clinton with the constant comparisons this president continues to make as to the progress hes making and the mistakes hes avoiding versus the lack of progress your old bosses had and the problems that they encountered. That its a frequent theme of his. Im getting it done. They didnt. Frankly, i think im still waiting for President Trump to get it done. Hes taken hes torn a lot of things down. He operates by chaos. I understand that. A certain amount of tactical chaos is good strategy. But strategic chaos can be very dangerous. Right now im sti waiting for President Trump to actually deliver on all of the things that hes working on to show thate can actually make the deal happen. Neil well a sign of a deal today. Leon panetta weighing in on the historic north korea summit. He said the president operates by chaos but he said sometimes the chaos works. Former National Security adviser, stephen handley. What do you make of that, that this is rewriting the rules, especially if it succeeds, how you go about this, like slapping tariffs on trading partners. If it works, might rewrite the rules about trade talks what do you think . I think President Trump was elected by the American People to be a disrupter. He was elected by a lot of people that felt that the system was broken, felt betrayed by politicians and the establishment. So they wanted a n chief a they got a disrupter in chief. What hes doing is breaking a lot of china, if you will. Setting the table in a different way to deal with issues about trade, to get allies to take more responsibility for our common defense. And a different approach in terms of north korea. He got a lot of criticism for it. People said his rhetoric was bellicose. Got chinas attention. They started to lean on north korean. They said his agreement to a summit was a mistake. He had an insight that maybe the only way to break through given the decades of mistrust and past failures was to start at the top. Well see. Hes a disrupter. The first year or two thats what hes going to do. Hes going to try to set the table differently. The question will be then whether he with bring home a set of agreements that do things in a different way, b actually accomplish our objectives as a country. Well have to see. Neil we will. Stephen, do you think there was a message or strategy to getting pretty rough with our allies, name hi justin true dough of canada while at the same time pulling out all the stops for north korea . I know these negotiations and you had to make them work but the contrast has been different. Yes. Its unfortunate. Some of the statements made by the trump team afterwards to justify what the president had done were kind of over the top. Special place in hell, was unfortunate. Its been retracted. What my sense is what got the president s attention, Justin Trudeau went out, was introducing a statement that had been signed up to by all members of g7. He should have said we reached a cous. Heres the statement. Its got the strong terms and stopped. He got some questions and he made the point about how he was offended by the National Security element of the trade. We canadians dont want to be pushed around. Looked like he was trying to enhance his standing witn domestic politics at the president s expense. President s dont like that. President trumps style is when he thinks someone has dissed him, he pushes back hard. Thats what happened. Its not fortunate. Its not irrevocable but its got out of hand and it was unfortunate. Neil whether the tariff reonse or tough trade response is the way to go, it has people up to the idea that some people dont play fair with us. Netnet when it comes to canada, we still end up with the better part of the deal. But it has a wakened people to the fact that theres some rigging going on, even among friends. How does this all gettled . Tdent is trying to use the threat of tariffs as leverage. I think the trick of tariffs is fine, but the goal is not to raise trade barriers around the United States. Its to lower everybody elses trade barriers down to a reasonable area so that there is more trade rather than less. That is the problem here. You know, the president offhandedly parentally is reported at the g7 to have said lets get rid of all of our tariffs between the United States and europe. Why not . Thats a pretty interesting idea. Neil i thought it was brilliant. Then you take the argument off and may the best products win and compete. Thats right. Neil thanks for being here. Stephen hadley. Were waiting to hear from a judge on the planned combo with at t and timewarner. This was something proposed two years ago. Man, they have been dragging this out and a judge right now is weighing the pros and cons, this is bigger than those two companies. A lot of other media conglomerates are based o the balance on what this judge rules minutes from now. Stay with fox. With tripadvisor, finding your Perfect Hotel at the lowest price.

With the president of the United States, in case youre looking for sort of like a new carter deal, maybe not. Baby boomers, heres something you should know. Theres a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most dont even know it. A virus thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. Hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. Left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. The only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your Healthcare Provider for the simple blood test. If you have hep c, it can be cured. For us, its time to get tested. Its the only way to know for sure. Neil theyre momentous and historic. In cases like these where the leaders of two fighting countries sit down and talk with one another, in case you think that translates to votes or victories at the polls, history doesn doesnt bear that out. Karl rove on that. I was amazed looking at the fallout of the elections afterwards. 1978. Carters camp david in they didnt usually dont translate to big electoral wins. Is that because we move to other things or what . The commit is the dominant issue. Also these things tend to either confirm peoples opinion jimmy carter by the time 1978 rolled around, he had a Bad Reputation as being weak. They looked what he did with anwar sadat and said thats owe oh that doesnt move me deeply. It was worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize and set these two nations, egypt and israel on a path that for the last several decades have been more productive than leading up to camp david. But these things do tend to have some electoral performance. As steve hadley said, this confirms the view of donald trump as a disrupter. The previous four president s refused to give kim jonguns father and grandfather what they wanted, a summit meeting where the president stood on the same level of north korea and the president decided to do it the other way. Well see how it works out after a long period of time. We shouldnt have it to have a huge impact in the fall. Maybe move his numbers up a point or two. The proof will be in the pudding and the pudding will take some time to cook. Neil we have some months until the midterms. Im reminding of other big events. Ronald reagan had a number of submits with gorbachev. How did they play out . The first one doesnt go well. But it began to build some personal trust between the two men. Remember, the two men had an obvious interest on behalf of their countries and moving the same direction. Mika Mikael Gorbachev knew the country needed to open up. It worked. Reagan was pushing him along the lines of arms control. You pay remember president reagans view is lets get rid of Nuclear Weapons. Initially the soviets said well reduce our stockpiles but you have to get rid of your Missile Defense system. Reagan refused to do that. But it came to bass. They shared a common interest. The real question here is, what is kim jonguns real interest . Is his real interest in the stability of his regime as his father and grandfather saw it, that can only be guaranteed by having Nuclear Weapons or does he have a radically different idea that the future of north korea depends on being integrated into the World Economy and opening itself up to trade and commerce with its neighbors and with the world. Well see. But its going to require these things happen when theres a shared interest. When bagan and jimmy carter and sadat came together, its because two men were willing to accept carters leadership in bringing about a resolution of decades of war between and a hostility neil and lasted a couple weeks at camp david. This was a few hours here. Let me ask you about momentum as it occurs. I was thinking about president bushs father liberating kuwait. He had 82 approval. Looked like he was on his way to an easy reelection and the economy intervened. Back to your point. What decides these things . Seems like basic pocketbook issues. Largely. When youre in a time of peace and war, 2006 was impacted more by the war in iraq to the disadvantage of george w. Bush. The economy goo but the war was deeply unpopular. That affected it. Generally theyre different by two things. Pocketbook issues and peoples reaction to the sitting president. Thats why in midterms, 1982 for reagan, 1992 for 41, 1994 for clinton, these were bad results because people between the economy and their views of the sitting president wanted to send a message to that sitting president. That doesnt keep the 1982, bad losses for the republicans. 1994, bad results for bill clinton. 1996, he wins reelection. Theres no guarantee that a bad midterm is evidence that youll be defeated, not at all. Neil but this chaos, maybe discipline chaos approach, the president took to this and risked with this, if it works out, he could be okay. Soaring here. Yeah. But even if things happen between now and november in the five months, the 146 days left before the election, lets not kid ourselves. Four times before, the North Koreans have said well give up our nuclear programs. Initially things on three of those four went well for months and years. On all four occasions they broke their agreement one time within a matter of days. The other times it took longer, this is a process. My sense is it will be lengthy but not resolved in all likelihood, certainly to our standards by the election. Neil thanks very much. Karl rove, the deputy chief of staff. I want to alert you that the merger between at t and timewarner has been approved as was expected here. Took a little while. Judge richard leon has approached what is the biggest media merger of our time here. Again, its always in the details. Charlie gasparino following it all. What can you tell us . If the conditions are mild, its a huge win for at t and huge win for randall stephenson. Tomorrow starts the bidding war for 21st century fox. If its a clean approval and we have to see how clean it is, they may put their bid in tonight for our entertainment assets that are slated to be sold to disney. From what i hear from bankers, there could be others involved. The devil is in the detail of those conditions if there are conditions. Those conditions, neil, could make an approved deal be in reality an unapproved deal. What do i mean by that . If the judge applies enough conditions to make this very onerous on at t to leverage the timewarner assets so they cant make money, well, thats not good for this deal. Youll see it in the stock price. If the deal gets approved for the average person, if you own stocks, yes, that i go up. Changes the way you consume news and entertainment. There will be two Major Companies out there. Comcast and at t controlling much most of the content out there that you get on cable. Its going to be amazing. Do they have the ability to jack up prices because these two companies have very large near monopolies as the government was trying to argue . The judge did not buy that argument. He said essentially this. Technology we have to read the decision. If he approves, hes saying this. Technology is such that they dont have the Pricing Power that they used to. You have other options out there. Ill tell you, neil, we have to see the conditions of this thing. If theres no conditions, tomorrow will be a wild day for deal making. It starts neil judge has approved the merger of at t and timewarner including all of the keyia properties including cnn, the Turner Network, which was the genesis for some of the concerns in the Trump Administration that didnt make much sense to them. We were talking and charlie was mentioning as well that other media stocks inc comcast and fox entertainment, our parent company, have been seen to be in play here given the heightened interests in merger deals that might pass now that this has done through. Its too early to tell. Theyre all in play. Theyre all moving pretty smartler in after hours trading what are you to make of that and who would be next . Id say tomorrow is the beginning of the bidding war for 21st century foxs entertainment assets that are slated to go to disney. We reported on your fox business show, i said the ceo was waiting for this decision. If its positive. If at t can go through the merger, he had enough confidence that he could add to his media empire by going after our assets and he would try to outbid disney, which he is planning to do with an k bid. The question is, does disney come back. Does another bidder emerge . Bankers are telling me theres a lot of interest in our assets. Theres not a ton of content out there. A lot of Tech Companies are looking to get into that space. A lot of people thought apple might bid on assets. Sources inside apple told fox business that theyre not interested. That doesnt preclude amaz, netflix or somebody else. Theres a lot of if this deal is clean or near clean and thats where we have to bet into the details i talked to the people at comcast today. They said we want to read this to see how to proceed. If theres a lot of conditions, they want to unless it was a rejection, they were almost certain they would bid and essentially formulate their bid on the type neil i dont mean to interrupt you. Doesnt appear to be conditions to this. Its still too early. I grant you. Im showing you how the stocks disney given the fact that they want to purchase the fox entertainment assets that would be down on the notion that they cough up more doe. Comcast if they want to compete with disney to buy fox. I have monica here, also leeza. Its going to be a battle royale. Self in play. What do you say . The flood gates have opened. Now we set the stage for so many other merger talks that have been brewing. Its been giving guidance and opening the gates for Big Companies to come together for the survival of the biggest competition. Neil at ts argument has said im doing something to close out competitors. In the course of the team, streaming player like net flux, hulu, amazon have just dwarfed in size. Look at these guys. Its true. Im surprised to see this decision. Imxcited to read what will be a lengthy neil you thought the judge would slap it down . I thought he would make it conditional. Well see the decision. This judge writes 200page decisions. He was the judge in charge of deciding the fate of the comcast nbc mger in 2011. The conditions for that merger like you couldnt price gouge. They couldnt separate out content . And then there was concern about whether comcast honored that. There were arbitrations that took place because of that agreement. We dont know what they were and they were part of the terms. Now the conditions have fallen off this year. Theyre no longer active. Its interesting to see what will happen now with at t and timewarner because this is a whole new world. Their argument that theyre going against these huge players like amazon, google, facebook was a red herring. We thought these are in another field. Theyre not these kinds of networks. Neil they own the networks, the means of which you get the stuff out and the content. So you could make the argument as the government tried to do, youre way to big for your britches here. There does not appear to be significant conditions to attach to this. If that is the case, what does this say about the environment nor big deals now . This was among the mostly scrutinized that ive seen. Yes. What you really have the note is now you have a large distribution player, at t, maybe how you gets your phones and internet. Now they can controlcontent. As technology changes, one of the biggesthis for wireless is this ability to make your phone and the internet on the phone as fast as the internet you get at home. As soon as that happens, y change everything. Youll have one Company Controlling the data with the distribution but the kinds of data that you can get and controlling all of the content. Im going back to charlie here. Judge leon was hin this. We have a few signs early on that he was relentless with the government ls thatere calling this antitrust, anticompetitive. He would put them through the drills and the motions, prove it, prove it. Some say he has a libertarian bend here. But do you think the government failed to make their case that this was unfair . I dont think the government failed. This was a violation of antitrust law. It could be considered predatory for customers if you think about it. At t controls the pipeline for distribution and now potentially the content, too, that theyre putting out. You think about hbo. Im not a game of thrones fans. But if theyay well give you hbo for free if you sign up for cell service neil so they get preferential treatment. Charlie gasparino, are you with us . Yeah, im here. Neil lovely. So youve had a chance to digest a little bit about this. Play this outs from here. We hear theres no conditions or no significant conditions. We want to see the decision. If that is the case, the media landscape will change dramatically. This is a big rebuff to the Justice Department. It will be interested to see if the Justice Department appeals this. If you got smacked down by the judge, do you go back and try it again . You could have egg on your face twice, which wouldnt be good. The comcast conditions, i heard someone say theyre over. Theyre on till the end of the year, like september. The theory was that the government would go back if they got a good decision out of this, a positive government decision. Maybe keeping it with a lot of conditions. That they would go backnd reimpose the comcast decisions. They hate the mergers because its bad. Neil thanks very much. Youre doing yeoman work with fox news and business. Meantime, another legends her, Hillary Vaughn has been following this closely where the judge, we didnt know where he would come down. He was rough on both sides. I mentioned earlier, very rough on the government side. Did i get that right . Thats right, neil. Judge richard leone, a harde judg he ruled against the doj because he said they did not meet the burden of proof, w was their responsibility. He didnt buy what they had to say. He didnt think they brought enough reasons to the table why this would be an anti trust violation. Hes in favor of the at ttimewarner merger giving them the doahead for at t to buy timewarner here. The interesting thing is he had the option to put conditions on this. So the fact the jud said green light all the way, go ahead, no conditions shows just how much he bought at t and timewarners case. Theres a wild card here. The dog people that have been following this trial very, very closely have said that they would not be sprised if the dog tried to appeal this decision. This merger is not set to take into effect until later this month in june. So they have some time. The judge preempting that. He said is National Security a good idea for the government to bring this issue up again. He doesnt think theres enough there. Well see if the doj tries to pull a fast move here and try to appeal this decision. For now, at t and timewarner have the green light. Youre seeing the Ripple Effect across other potential media deals that are waiting in the wings. You have comcast stock up, timewarner symptom. Positive effects rippling across the board. Deals that could be waiting on the wings of this. The judge telling the doj to sit down and not bring this issue up again. He doesnt think they have enough for an appeal. As far as he is concerns, this decision should stand. Neil thank you very much. Moca, looking at this, its cliche to say content is king. Theres only so man purveyors of content here. The question is, how high the price tags go to get a chunk of it. Were in a new world. Content is getting fragmented. Theres so many sources right now. Netflix, amazon. Weve changed. Three channels to 250 cable channels. Its getting fragmented. Youll see a lot of mergers and pressure on Telecom Companies that will need to combine and get content players. Neil i can see your point. If you control the piping, if youre at t, you own directv and you own the means and the stuff to put on them, the fear is youll get preferentl treatment to yourstuff. Charlie touched on it with coast, that they didnt play fair. They have since tried to address that. Is that your fear here . Yes. And i know senator Richard Blumenthal from connecticut is pushing spa more investigation into the comcast and the nbc merger. Thats something that were seeing here. The legal landscape, the law is playing catchup with technology and were seeing it in full play rights now. Neil you have a fiduciary responsibility of the company that is getting a great deal of interest, our company, fox entertainment is part of them and were not a part of the sale to disney. All of a sudden, there could be comcast to mark this time, offering a bid that could may be a lot higher. You have to entertain that. Its not a no mysterious reaction in the stocks today. Disney and comcast falling on the belief they have to pony up more dough. This could get obscene, right . Yeah. This get everyone started. Theres a lot of room to play now. Youre looking at disney that was looking at a 52 billion stock bid. And now with comcast, could be all cash. Neil what about pairing up . Thats another tng to look for. Youl see a lot of that. Telecoms have pressure to get content. Content pressure apple comes to mind. Theyre cash rich. If youre talking about the Companies Getting together to purchase, isnt that a definition of antitruth . Neil why would that be bad . Theyre coming together to put those its predatory on the neil how will i know at home if im getting the Turner Network or the affected the bill will go up. Neil thats the fear. Youll pay for it. Right. So thats generallyhe concern when you have fewer competitions. Fewer competitors in a marketplace. Its price gouging. The other thing as she said is technology is moving quickly now. The minute we talk about 5g and you get your home cable access and everything is through your phone, it will all get more blurry and more dangerous. Neil but well be streaming ever writ thing. Yes. Its a gray zone and get more expensive. That was part of the governments argument. Think said this could cast hundreds of millions. Even if you see a dollar increase what does that mean . Neil you think consumers he fork the bill for them . Yes. Neil is that the his pry . Some of these Companies Leverage off of, this buy other properties. That was part of at ts arguments. Well never raise the rates. How can they justify that or prove that . Neil so for consumers taking in this stuff, you say they get higher prices but will they get more choice . Will they get better streaming services or technology in their favor . Have you ever called Customer Service for timewarner and been on the phone for hours and hours . [laughter] neil if youd like to wait less than 24 hours, press 1. Thank you, ladies. Again, just to bring you up to speed. A big deal h bn approved. At ts merger with timewarner which includes everything from the Turner Networks and another network called cnn. Is that it . Its all big news here. If this deal had not gone through, this wouldnt be in play. But theyre scrambling here right now and saying, we better be in and we better open our wallet. Were on it. The five is now.
