say, this is a pedigree, a television show with an incredible pedigree, david fincher directs, robin wrightimon wrote three amazing scripts that were almost shootable at the time. so if there ever was a project that you could just add water, this was going to be it. and i felt if we were going to get into original programming at some point, then let's do this in a way that we can't look back and say, maybe we didn't try hard enough, maybe it wasn't big enough, maybe it was the wrong shot, and this was the clearest shot to try this. to tell you something about the culture of netflix, i told reed about the deal after we did it. what was his first response? i remember six months earlier, we had just told wall street that we would never do that, so when he said, basically, why would you do that? i just said, look, if we are wrong and the show doesn't work, we will have terribly overpaid for one show. and if we are right, then it could fundamentally change our business. and he said, oh, that's a good risk reward, so that was a good trade—off. and as your companies evolved, how is the balance bet

robin wright has the latest from hong kong. it does seem as though this concession by chief executive kerry has not gone nearly far enough for the organizers of these unprecedented protests who are promising that there will be yet more rallies they are demanding still the complete withdrawal of this extradition bill and they have other demands among them a full independent investigation into what they say has been the excessive use of force in breaking up a largely peaceful protest by the police has given no indication of that there will be that independent investigation she does have a unfortunate knack it seems of when she makes these conciliatory statements of actually making things worse whether it's her style which is perceived as being slightly aloof or obstinate whether it reinforces the impression that she is here to do beijing's bidding rather than being hong kong's representative does seem to make things worse we have seen in the last month when kerry 1st suspended the extradition bill the very next day instead of 100

i want to read a quotation from robin wright. writing for the new yorker. happened in the neighborhood. she writes in dealing with the islamic republic, the challenge is finding the key to break the eye for an eye cycle. iranians have a long history and long memories. what is your read of what's happening here? and what's your best counsel of how to break that cycle? david, i think this is actually a serious crisis in the gulf and i would separate this issue, what's happening in the gulf with the iran nuclear deal. i think they're very separate issues. in the gulf it's a vital international waterway. a lot of the world's oil and gas comings out of the strait of hormuz to the big asian and european economies. we can't allow iran acting in this case like a pirate nation, to shut the gulf down. so it looks like the administration is sending some forces to saudi arabia, that seems appropriate. it also looks like the administration is thinking about organizing international convoys to escort these commercial vessels through the gulf. that's absolutely necessary.
