107. 50 a share for time warner. Look where it is. Quite a bit south. In fact, down on the day largely because the markets seem to be saying this aint gone that go through. Is that the case . Market watcher john tamny, that would have been the question i would have put to both of these gentlemen that you might be confident of this deal, but im telling you, john, early on it does not appear the markets are. Whats happening . Well, how very unfortunate if the deal doesnt come through, but i think the softness in the stock price reflects the view that washington will block what should, a combination that should go through. Implicit in this desire to block at t and time warner is this view that you can predict the future of the media landscape. Well, lets look at the history of that. Block buster and media movie gallery tried to merge long ago, it was said no way, they would be too powerful for the video rental space. Netflix comes out of nowhere and wipes them both out. Do you remember th
Much about on the campaign trail. It shows the race much closer, in fact, a couple of days ago he had the lead. In the most recent version it comes out every day at 6 00 in the morning, were now in day seven, the Hillary Clinton with a onepoint advantage over donald trump. That is much smaller, obviously, than what we saw in the average of what weve seen in other polls. Dont dismiss this out of hand. I know some people are as we look at a chart of it since it began. This is, as i said, day number seven. The trends are in fave of mrs. Clinton, theyre her friend. Instead of being down two, shes up one. Still margin of error stuff in this poll. Shes been doing better in the south, among moderates, so it is trending in her direction. But polls like this are outliers, and a lot of people will ask questions, how do they compare to other polls like abc or cnn which showed her up by five points. You know, we dont necessarily find any issues with this idb poll. Its history is quite solid over t
For the legal lead, even telling pot shops on the 16th street mall not to sell individual joints. Why did you come to denver . For the best wed ever. Seriously . Yeah, for the weed. Reporter this man left louisiana three weeks ago. Do you meet other people who say that . Every day. Reporter states will vote on legalizing recreational marijuana. Arizona, california, nevada, maine and massachusetts. I think its they legalize it elsewhere, they will go to those areas. Its hard to say how many people moved here for the weed but the city of denver believes 20 to 30 of Homeless People are here in part due to legalization or to find jobs in the industry. A spokesperson with the Colorado Coalition for the homeless says were seeing more marijuana use. Factor but i dont believe that it is the cause of homelessness. I think the cause of homelessness in the denver area is a lack of affordable housing. Reporter so if other states say yes to the green, will people follow . It gets cold here. In ariz
Our road map begins with a tweet storm from president elect trump weighing in on trade and china. Italian Prime Minister renzi says hell step down after losing that key referendum vote. And rbc suggests an espn spinoff could create value for disney. More on that coming up this hour. First up, president elect sounding off on twitter from everything from china to ta wan to taxes businesses moving from the u. S. To china. Did china ask us if it was okay to devalue their currency making it hard for our companies to compete, the u. S. Doesnt tax them or to build a massive military complex in the middle of the South China Sea . I dont think so. Jim, this was the talk of the weekend. As it should be. I think that one of the things thats happened is that were used to a very formal way things are done. First you hear about a call from taiwan. Obviously its not supposed to be taken in the old regime. And then youre supposed to if you do take it minimize it. But this was maximizing it. I think tr
