So so were not the old cwa that people think about where it was just telephone employees. Host how is it that you can represent those other people under the umbrella of cwa . Guest well, weve merged a lot of other unions. For instance, the last one we merged was the flight attendants union. And weve represented these folks, for instance, the printers came in to cwa in 1987, and weve been merging other unions since then. Host what are some of the Telecommunications Companies where your workers are represented . Guest at t, frontier, verizon, tmobile, you name it. Host well, speaking of verizon, just a 45day strike just recently ended. What came out of that . First of all, what was the strike about . Guest the strike, from our point of view, was about one thing and one thing only, jobs. And job security. And i think for verizon it was about a lot of things. We managed to come out of it with what we wanted, and i think we did very well. I think verizon also did okay, you know . Were not a
Looking for in there that they, obviously, missed at that time . No whats interesting because the head of the fbi office and people in the orlando area say o they have gone back and looked at those files and based on what they knew at that time they dont believe they missed anything. He he was sort of a blow hard. He was talking about support. There was nothing, you know, we have a First Amendment in this country people can say all sorts of offense i have things so that wasnt enough for them to act, and then they are will certainly look at the later interview and 14 where he had contact with an american suicide bomber in syria. Although theyve said to us going back and looking at that file, it was minimal contact. I think internally they are going to have to decide whether or not that judgment that the contact with these suicide bomber was only minimal was a correct judgment or could they or should they have done more to understand that relationship. Were talking with grantng wt commit
Order, scheduling, and installation and never have to talk to a human. So were going to make a leapfrog and have already begun to do so in the way we talk and communicate and transact with our customers, and i think thats going to be a big positive as well. We are out of time but the final question to bring it back to the olympics, how do you think peoples perception of comcast is going to change after seeing that kind of experience in terms of interacting with content . Well, were obviously so proud of the storytelling, the passion of the company everywhere from the today show to the tonight show, the x1 technology, and it is our company. Maybe you think of it in one way or in the Rearview Mirror or we made a mistake and didnt fess up properly but we are looking down the road forward and were growing customers. Were innovating. Were attracting incredible talent. I would probably say my main goal, your kid coming out of school and you can go work for google or facebook or comcast nbc u
Then youre really dealing in a vacuum. This is what happened with the proposed dishwasher rule. These are technical matters. Its very important that not only manufacturers republican gauged early but all stake holders. This asrac process does do that. But the asrac process is useful once a decision has been made that will will be a new standard. What were talking about is a change in the process for determining whether there should be a new standard. If there is going to be one, consensus is always the best. We feel we will do better as the advocates feel given a give and take putting data on the table and not wondering where the data came from. Before we go any further i really want you guys to get the dishwasher rule right. Im the dishwasher at my house and if the dish washers dont clean ive got a real problem. Its going to be double work for me. Mr. Cosgrove, go ahead. I certainly agree with what my colleague says. I think what ive heard is listening to this conversation is at least
Infections. As cases surge across the country. Again, the credibility issues of the cdc, thanks to President Trump, will people listen . Welcome to thursday. Its meet the press daily. Im chuck todd. 12 days to go. More than 40 million votes have already been cast. Tonights debate in nashville may be the president s last chance to do something to close the gap with joe biden. His window to change the trajectory of this race is closing. Quickly. That immediately raises the question. What could he do right now, tonight, that could change the trajectory of this race . What would that look like for a president with this lack of credibility and this level of instability . Heading into tonight, the president has sought to undermine the confidence in the election results. Last night his director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe warned that iran is behind a series of spoofed emails that were there to benefit the president , though they claim that iran was trying to embarrass the presiden
