mike kavanaugh, who runs nbc universal, on the conference call for what also were, by the way, fairly strong earnings for comcast and getting a good response from the stock marketat least in the early going, obviously, before trade, but he said that the company is exploring whether by creating a new -- and this is an important usage here -- well capitalized company owned by shareholders, so, spun off to shareholders, and comprised of a strong portfolio of cable networks, would position them to take advantage of opportunities in the changing media landscape and create value. so, what are they saying? they're saying they're at least exploring, and my understanding is it is very early here. they chose to say it on the call as a result of the fact that it most likely would have leaked, and so they're even at the point where it's not clear to me that they've hired advisors, for example, but they are exploring the possibility of spinning off all of the cable networks, including, by the way, the one that we work werfor, you're talg about usa, bravo, oxygen, cnbc, msnbc, the golf channel, into a new, well-capitalized company that would then be able to pursue strategies

nbc news' james stavridis. also out with a new book," the restless wave." can't wait to talk about it in a minute. >> sure. >> may i ask about unpredictability. markets don't like unpredictable leaders. whatbout allies? >> they hate it. money flows away from unpredictability and danger, and it's the same with alliances. the less predictable you are, the more likely it is your allies will look for other options. potentially, the greatest comparative advantage for the united states is this glittering network of allies. not only nato, but japan, australia, new zealand, south korea. together, we comprise 65% of the world's gdp, willie. we don't want to scare them away. we want to be solid, steady, and reliable. >> what are you hearing from leaders around the world, military leaders but also diplomatic leaders also the possibility of donald trump returning to the white house, just on the questions of alliances and predictability? >> precisely the concern. the domestic political calculus i'll leave to experts on "morning joe." but in my wheel house, cyber, alliances, warfare, all of that network, there is deep concern about specifically that, the unpredict
