ceo ryan roberts from comcast called it in no way anticompetitive.ood for customers. >> it is and he's right. there is generally only one cable company in a given market and they don't compete directly with each other. what we are talking about isn't reduction in choices you simply have in some market time warner would be replaced by comcast. so comcast would be a larger foot print. the concern about mergers like this has never been about horizontal competition, it's been a sort of vertical concern. that is it's been a concern that maybe if a cable provider got too large, maybe they would have to have leverage over video programmers and it's important to note here, number one, that first of all, that cuts both ways in some respects that sort of leverage can actually very much help consumers because right now the reason the cable bills are going up is that the real power, the market power in this industry is really held by the content owners. they are the ones who are extracting more and more in royalties every year for cable champions and it gets pas

that is what he said kind of turned the tide for ryan roberts 18, i think that it's a much easier dealh. >> one, it is an all stock deal. here's a price, here is all stocks. the charter bid was both stock and cash. time warner cable wanted a collar on the back. it got complicated. the second point is that cable is a collegial industry, not competitive, because all of these companies don't compete with each other. there he simple in a way that comcast and time warner cable, who have done a lot of working together over the years, will come to a friendly agreement instead of a hostile bid where a smaller company was buying a larger company and all of a sudden there are words being thrown back and forth. what i heard, brian was a little uncomfortable with that, especially since he had such a good relationship with the time warner cable ceo. >> the other thing pointed out to me by the person who was part of the deal was that this is a classic activist shareholder type move, except for the fact that john malone walked away from this deal with nothing. he was saying if carl icahn had done thi

student robert blake remembered that ms. ryan was quite a dish. you could kid around with her, virginia endicott rememberedded, but there was always that fine line you do not cross. beneath her accommodating demeanor lay a steely fortitude forged from years of hardship, toil and an unstinting effort to better herself. this is the part i love. suddenly, junior and senior boys were becoming interested in learning how to type. they were signing up for typing class. this was a first. many teenage boys in her class developed infatuations while female students developed school-girl crushes on her. young pat ryan was discovering the price of glamour in adult community. she was being wooed to the point of harassment by her many admirers, including her students. some of the boys in her class placed a small query in the student paper asking where she lived and were able to locate her apartment. they followed her to the one stucco bungalow court where she lived on hadley street across from the bowling alley. summoning up their nerve, they knocked on her door

you have ryan marcus and brian roberts at the journal. ross was on the phone with roberts., who do you want to do business with? if you want to get in bed and sit on a board together, who do you want to sit on that board with? it seems to be marcus and roberts versus john malone. >> the world's second biggest mining company says work is paying off. the latest on the numbers earnings rise. >> pretty much the story. they have delivered underliing profits. the estimate was 9.66. it is a healthy beat. really what's going on at rio is no difference than what's going on at some of the other mines. sam walton 13 months in has cut ver $202 billion in costs. that's lifting profits. lifting the bottom line. >> and dividends as well, isn't it, john? >> there was a big buzz about how much they would give back to share holders. deutsch bank nailed it. we are expecting a 15% increase in the dividend. that's what we've got, $1.92. the consensus was for $1.70. dividend is strong. the risk, if any, is what happened. a 15% climb in the price for iron ore. that is 40% of their revenue. >> iro

kirk douglas, robert redford, charlton heston, clint eastwood, walter matthieu, ryan o'neal.reatest actor the one you personally thought -- >> jack nicholson. >> he's mai my favorite. why from your perspective? >> the immediacy of his response time. and i have always felt one thing that i insist on, and if the actors won't do it you just find a way to get them to do it by the way you talk to them and deal with them in the scene. immediately an actor's got to look me in the eye. jack looked me in the eye like that. and we've got a bond. and he just -- i have a little coin in my pocket that he gave me last tuesday for good luck for this year. that i carry around with me. it's a solid gold coin. >> amazing. >> and he's cool. and he just -- we always got it. we've done i don't know now, 53 years together or something like that. and i got him one day on something. i had just come back from "gatsby" and going back to england. it was the year that sunderland won the cup. >> i love the fact you know so much about soccer. >> weren't they a fourth division team? >> second division but

robert, i know you didn't just have twins, but i'm going start with you. >> give ryan a chance to catch his breath and relax a little bit there. >> he needs five minutes. he's five minutes behind us temporally. we've been talking a lot about the danger the democrats face in terms of the balance of power in the senate. if you talk about national unity of a party that contrasts between the republican retreat and the democratic retreat is incredibly pronounced. we talk about generational waves. in terms of national policy, it is a democratic moment right now. >> well, i think there's no doubt that right now you have a pretty strong agreement on a set of ideas that the democrats want to move forward on. you heard a lot of it there. immigration reform, things around the minimum wage, certainly some aspects of climate change. i do think there are quite a bit more things top to bottom in the democratic party. republicans are unified in their agenda. we're not without some of our disagreements. one of the president's top trade priorities. fast track is not going to happen in this congress. for

ryan returning. if another cold morning. pushing through a could bring us an inch or even more into monday morning. (male announcer): now, here's stanley robertse people behaving badly. >> reporter: you are looking at two cars in two different counties. yes the car with the driver in san francisco county and the car in the foreground is in san mateo county >> reporter: another way to tell is by the signs... to the left is thursday street cleaning the daly city side. and to the right is friday street cleaning the san francisco side. >> reporter: another huge difference is the cost of parking ticket and let it let say you decide to park on the sidewalk. so if you park on the side of the line the ticket is well over $100 however if you park on this side of the line the ticket is only $38. and just because you see a sampras's coach street sign it does not always mean that you are actually and san francisco. >> reporter: because sometimes just a few ways the size changed today in city signs. this car is getting a ticket for 30 bucks but has been a hundred piggyback the ticket would skyrocket to $100. >> reporter: so what this means is that parking

robert levinson this morning and he said we should not be surprised by these numbers. >> the numbers were agreed to in the budget control act and modified a little why the ryan-murray budget it is not much of a surprise. the defense budget is coming down after a decade where the defense budget kind of double. d. the industry has to adapt to this and the big primes like people like lockheed and general dynamics maintain their profits although the revenues have come down a bit so it's an adjustment but not something people did not see coming. >> the plan is being met with resistance by many at congress. >> they are. tryingto make some tough choices it will be the job of congress to step in and move those numbers up. the world is not safer and this is not the time to begin to retreat and not the time to cut our military. >> while the budget may be getting some pushback, some lawmakers say is time to downsize. >> we can trim the budget when it comes in the military, we just have to be responsible. the world is constantly changing every single day. at the same time, we can still do the job we promised to do for the world and still do the job to protect tomography in america. h
