Right now as a result of brexit assuming that it actually , happens . Al john, the American Economy is actually doing better than most other western economies, but we are very dependent on how they do. If china sneezes, we get a cold. Europe, for all of its problems, is not unimportant. The fear is that this will cause some kind of a downturn, not just in great britain, but also on the continent. That affects the u. S. There is nothing we can do about it, but that is the fear. John so, you think that the economics are more disconcerting to american policymakers than the potential security implications dealing with all of the various things that america has to deal with in terms of how europe confronts middle eastern challenges, terrorist challenges, etc. , etc. . Al john, that is a good point. And also putin. Putin is a real concern. I think the challenges are really equal. The feeling is, how strong can europe be . Great britain has been a great ally in most of these confrontations th
You had a memorable line in your acceptance speech that passed around to our colleagues. When you wake up in the morning, say what is my adventure going to be, questions have been my best friend and my power, curiosity, such a great message for all journalists. Charlie we also emphasize writing too. Remembering charles kuralt, who said when we see a writer around cbs we stand up and salute him or her. Thank you, mike. Turning to hillary and her much testimony today, how did she do muchanticipated testimony today, how did she do . She did fantastically. Her campaign, her allies very excited. She she did was very smart went in and she was placid, she was polished, and her basic demeanor and approach was, if you want to ask me these questions for the eighth time, i will answer them for an eighth time. She previewed the strategy when she said earlier, i dont have a lot new to say. Charlie, that is something [indiscernible] this will never be the best day for Hillary Clinton because its not
Edition of titans at the table. Hello, i am betty liu. Welcome to titans at the table. Dish Network Founder Charlie Ergen has always been something of a fearless renegade. From being thrown out of casinos for counting cards to selling satellites out of his car trunk around colorado. Ergen led a group that created echostar in the 1980s and then started dish in the next decade, upending the traditional cable tv world. In the process, he has become one of the richest men in america, worth nearly 20 billion. Ergen stepped out of the spotlight in 2011, handing the ceo rein to joe clayton. But just four years later, the founder is back in the hot seat as television undergoes another revolution. Video, moving on to your second screen. Like the satellite tv business in its early days, ergen wants to be at the forefront of this change by creating a new, over the top product called sling tv and buying up billions of dollars worth of wireless assets.

Realignment was all about . Right now theres nothing to realign. Down the road there might be some without this kind of help im talking about and my fear its going to be a bifurcated system where youre going to have certain conferences and certain universities that are going to go for the dollars and now were going to have a total blurring of the professional versus the collegiate model in sports. And we talk about student athletes as employees, i mean, were going to go right up against that as close as we possibly can with payments and things of that nature without the enforcement thats necessary to kind of curtail that. We are going to ultimately have people paid. Some people have been speaking about having, you know, agents involved now in recruitment, having them involved in negotiating, certain conditions and terms and wages for student athletes. You know, we got this Jeffrey Kessler case. I hate to give it that name because hes the attorney. Hes not the plaintiff. But nevertheles
