switching from selling to cable to selling to streaming services what we're seeing happen is the pendulum is swinging in the past they always took advantage of just trying to sell volume of channels and the consumer always said i really only care about six channels and they just like well millions of minutes millions of hours and t.v. channels thousands of channels that's not important it's about quality and that's why netflix is really starting to dominate and take over because they have the quality content that the customer in the consumer really wants so it's a quality game not a quantity game and the pendulum is swinging back to the skinny bundle which is really really exciting for the consumer now how many skinny bundles that people want before it starts to not even be financially attractive to the consumer that's what's going to be the next challenge i believe right because we don't want to be spending a lot of money when we know that we can spend seven dollars on netflix as opposed to a huge cable bill like new new media has completely transformed the way that we look at media in g

i had before and the pendulum will keep swinging back and forth i believe where all this is going is the netflix's and the other content buyers will start to look at artificial intelligence avatar technology machine learning as a way to produce high quality content without the big and costs that make it really difficult to hit their earnings expectations of wall street let me ask you this though what's your take on the news coming out this week that disney is going to be pulling its content from netflix and start not one but two streaming services of its own does it have a landscape for that i love the move because what we're seeing is with the miller world the acquisition by netflix netflix says you know what we know how to produce great content stranger things game of thrones we're we're seeing these brands are able to produce great content they need the great writers and the great idea people so they're like you know what people the young generation they might not know thor the way maybe baby boomers and gen x. understand who thorin these characters are we're going to create great

it is not unique to be in this position where the pendulum is so far back. way forward. a final point, you have talked a lot about what drives your filmmaking and activism. you also said earlier in this interview, you cannot deny your mormon roots and you want a big family. you are married, happily married. yes. children is definitely something you want to embrace. absolutely. yeah. i am wondering how would you fit all of this in. the wonderful thing about writing in particular is that production is difficult, but with writing, you are also looking for distraction, and children provide that. you need something when your brain is exhausted. no eyes are better than children's eyes to help you do that. i want to raise children and look through their eyes, to make mistakes and encourage them to learn more and more and more. that is why i have been in this fight for so long. for me, it is about family. dustin lance black, we have to end it there. but thank you so much. last week, weather was pretty changeable. this week it's more of the same, i'm afraid. last wee

you could see a pendulum shift in the political calculus, where more and more democrats could start to call for a single payer system. with any healthcare system the devil is very much in the details. while certainly a single payer system could simplify things and insure healthcare is a basic right for all americans, there could be issues in terms of provider participation and making sure people have access to care. services that could be more limited. there are pos and cons with every approach and winners and losers. to date today the medicare for all concept has not had a lot of political support. >> single payer going down late in the senate last week. you want to add? >> a good reason why it's not getting much support, senior citizens tend to be the most active voters in the country. as president trump and virtually every other president who has ever held the office has said, we will protect the medicare program. partly because it's a relatively sound program and partly because of politics. we're talking about people who have a lot of sway at the polls. george also makes another go

a lot of this hate stuff was a pendulum. people think you don't give a [bleep] about us.ait until you see the right-wing violence. these skirmishes, they remind you of how fragile of what america is. we're not about tribes. it was about rejecting tribes. you left that stuff behind. we were all americans. we had slavery. it was a hypocrisy that we talked about there being no tribes, yet we were obviously -- we had slaves. but what you're seeing and what we're trying to do as a nation is to reject tribalism of all kind. you have muslim which is a tribe. white nationalism and an arkism and cults we're trying to hold together and say we don't need that. every day we do that. i think donald trump in his clumsy way when he was running for president and said make america great again, and i know a lot of people got the whistle. but for me it was i'm tired of the tribes. why can't we go back to the day that everyone was an american and we didn't have tribes. he needs to figure that out and understand it is a dog whistle. what he's trying to say is we're not black americans, hispan

i believe and i believe this for a while, almost all hateful speech is a pendulum. it begins from one side, because it comes so suffocating it creates its own reactions. for the longest time, we've seen a lot of heat from the left. i would say for a couple years whether it's on the radical elements of black lives matter, not all blm but there were some. you look at anti-fa who had free reign over protesters in oakland and berkeley and portland who could away with it emma i always feel like a lot of this hate stuff is a pendulum. what happens is people get passed off because no one gets a about us. if you think the left wing violence is justified, wait to see the right wing pilots, that's good to be justified too. all the scrimmages remind me how unique america is and how fragile it is, we aren't about tribes. it was about rejecting tribes, you left that stuff behind, were all americans and it didn't matter. we had slavery, it was hypocrisy that we talked about there being no tribes but we had the slaves. right now what we're seeing is to reject tribalism of all kind
