we think that is a big benefit, particularly in the sports area. can you give us an idea of setting up the cost of something like this. you have to do all of that. there has to be a backlog. >> the back office payment processing is apple. you are subscribing through apple. we have had a development or print -- for four years now that develops are asked. it develop showtime on demand originally. now showtime anytime, tv several at for the past years. we have had a good deal of experience in developing the apps. each time you have a new provider, you have to integrate. you did not just do that one time. betty: what about the pay-tv subscribers right now who are

subscribing to showtime through verizon fires and cable operators? will you cannibalize those viewers? >> we don't think so. there are 10 million people who have a broadband only subscription. they do not take video services. an important note on the comcast earnings. they now have more broadband videoibers than they do subscribers. that is a growing opportunity. so broadbandion or subscribers who are not taking video. why not go to them with a different video offer at a good pricing where they can buy showtime for $10 99 and? i tend to take a little bit acre view. we have nearly 24 million subscribers. justink of the opportunity generally in the video universe to grow showtime. i do not think it comes through cannibalization.

not through cannibalization, but do you think eventually paid tv, the model will go away? >> i really don't. i am not sure what eventually in ourbut probably not professional lifetime. i think a lot of people are very happy getting all of the channels, sitting down and watching television, and the technology keeps improving. how can it not? how can it not cut into pay-tv model? ? >> is it going away or just fairly stable. thee people who offer you service are also broadband providers. it becomes a very important part of their offering. are you really going to distinguish in the future? do people really care where it is coming from or do they care about the consumer interface? one thing about the apps as they are great consumer interfaces. we think they compete very well

declared candidates, ron ceo of christie strategy, former adviser to president george bush, dick cheney and many other prominent republicans. so with us, peter cook. the obvious question, does the kerry have any chance, and if he does not, why is he doing it again? peter: a much bigger hill for him to climb. he ran in 2012 and did not do all that well. the famous moment on the age and downhill from there. at one point he was the front runner. 28% in the polls. 14 years as texas governor, the story he could tell there. there is still a chance for rick harry to distinguish himself this time around. much more difficult than last time around. an opportunity to question it. can he somehow show he is a more

polished, more ready candidate they wrote atty: story about what does rick harry have and what does he lack? what he is got they noted, among many things, strong job creation in texas, a social conservative, true governing experience, governing texas for so long, but what does he lack? --t is his guest week point is his biggest weak point? weakthink his biggest point, how will he distinguish himself. how does he break through the pack and say notwithstanding the fact that i have been governor for 14 years, how am i different? i think what he will point to is the united states air force. he will be surrounded by a couple of army veterans.

marcus luttrell from famous survivor. i think he will say i am the one not only with a strong governor and strong economic statement strong military background that we will need to move america forward. beat in theould he republican field easily? peter: you have 10 candidates now, you could have 20. the reality is he needs to move up out of the second tier. that is where he is right now. that is sort of an optimistic assessment of where he is. barely registered in new hampshire. focusing a lot of his attention in iowa. i think that is really didn't -- where you really need to watch his campaign. he is made a big investment there. if he can do well in iowa, i think maybe just maybe rick perry can do well in the race. it will be a challenge for him. who gave money to

him last time around have artie given money to other people. it is a challenge for him but a deep field and that gives everyone an opportunity. turn to jebt to bush. showing that tweet he issued today. he said there will be an announced it june 15. another bloomberg politics called i thought was right interesting because the big overhang -- the big overhang will be the legacy. 57% said it would be mostly good for jeb bush to turn to his for advice.rge w compare that to hillary clinton where 83% said it would be mostly good for her to go to bill for advice. what do you make of that? >> i think there are a lot of people still very concerned about why george bush took america to war in the aftermath of iraq and afghanistan, but i think the majority of the

american people think it is a strength that you have a brother or spouse that has been president of the united states. they have the experience of the unique pressure of being president. can jeb bush win the state that romney lost? peter: i think you can. part of it is you will have a whole bunch of money to get his message out there. bush has unique challenges. one of them being a bush name. as we justice test, that could be a positive to some extent. he will have to showcase himself in certain states where right now it will be a challenge. he will have his opportunity more so in iowa early on. on,e does not do well early he is in trouble. he could make the case that order could decide the race for

jeb bush altogether. he could. his home state. how does jeb bush do better than mitt romney? i think you fund-raising juggernaut. given his brother and father he will be able to tap into. he will have the staff, resources and the ability to get on the air and travel around. if the infrastructure is in place and message takes full, i think he has a chance to do better. i think it is critical for governor bush, particularly in iowa and new hampshire, he has to be number one or number two. if he goes down to south carolina wounded, not doing well as expected, i think the candidacy would be in serious trouble. betty: what do you make of the fact that there are 10 candidates? what do the party elders think of how crowded it is already getting.

this is a repeat of 2012 and 2008. >> i think it is a good thing we have a crowded race. what the american people are seeing is a very diverse and white crowd with a great deal of experience. i think the american people will have the ability to hear the candidates, see what the vision is moving forward and make an informed choice. you can just imagine how challenging it will be to stay off of the debate stage. it will be interesting to raise their stature in the national polls, perhaps to the detriment of where they and with individuals dates. may have just sent money nationally to get in the polls that they can be on the debate stage. betty: peter cook, thank you. thank you to ron christie, ceo of ron christie strategies. still ahead, we are waiting rick
