did not transform itself into a reliable partner. this would mean it had to become a different sort of country. the u.s.s.r. did said about the internal transformation but in foreign policy it was not completely obsessed with america but very nearly abscessed to the extent to ignore the rest of the world with its relationship with america but it tried to refashion in the ties with client states like bareback and libya. it also of a disengaged from leftist and and moreover sought to a new relationship with the republic people's republic of china as a counterweight to so there was a lot happening in this period. i think we must never underestimate the historical importance of the entire process is and should never underestimate the importance of the intelligent management that took place between president reagan and general secretary gorbachev but also involving secretary of state shultz and minister of foreign affairs. these are the big four who evade foundations for the peace that followed for which we all need to be grateful. in the

one, tv itself is transforming. people are looking for more of what they want to watch and not paying for what they do not want to watch. they want to watch tv everywhere. part of that is technology of over-the-top allows customers to do that. and the second transformation is wireless. the wireless industry where the world will be connected all the time and there are only two ways , to do it. one is through the wire and the other way is through wireless, and we started on a mission about five years ago saying we want to be a part of that revolution. the best place to do this in the marketplaces in the wireless side because we are a wireless company. betty: unless you have accumulated $50 million or $60 million in wireless assets? charlie: it is only really worth money when you put it to use and when you ultimately build a business around it and get discounted cash flows. that is what we are looking forward to doing. betty: charlie, does this remind you at all about the transformation of television and the on boardin

i think america bought into the fdr transformation. they bought into the reagan transformation. i don't think americans have bought into the obama transformation. it never was bipartisan. republicans have united to repeal it. so i think the transformation rest on the bed of sand and i think the presidential campaign the republicans thought to be about not just seeing who can scream the loudest that they want to undo what obama has done, but who's got a coherent, believable program for doing it. that's what the debate ought to be. connell: we are out of time, but is there one name that stands out? >> nobody has to get. i hope everybody is working. senator phil gramm, good to see you. we have more to focus on the markets. talking about how wild this week has been in cherry willis joins us with the big winners and losers. something we normally talk about on a friday, but we are not there yet. i looked at the dow. we know that for today they are all winners. apple leading the charge about a quarter of a percent on the week. this just added to the gallon back then they said it will g

starting in 1960, texas has gone through three stages of transformation that have changed the dynamics of texas politics. the first one from about 1960 to 1978 that first phase of change was one where the republican party became competitive at the top of the ticket. we had a period of competitive races for the presidency, for the united states senate and some of the governor's races. below that, everything was democratic. in the second phase, starting in 1978 through 1996, is really what i call an interlude of two-party competition. from 1978 through 1996, the government changed every four years from democrat, republican. the two senators during most of that time comprised of one republican and one democrat. other races, republicans were becoming more competitive. the republican party during that period of time the 1970's and 1980's, was reliant heavily on immigration of people to the state. the early growth of the republicans were from people moving here, much like myself. there was a later movement in the 1980's and 1990's when people were shifting from being democrat to republican.

your question gets to the idea of command and how command can transform people. the civil war was a great transformer of people, and it was all command that did it. i talked about the civil war general who turned out to be a coward. when he gets command, it's up to you now -- command transformed many leaders into cowards and incompetencts. ulysses s. grant had failed at everything he had done. war, he wasor the working in a store for his a broom.aning on command pulled something out of grant, moral courage, the ability to make a decision. if you compare jackson's schoolroom at the military university, where he taught, it was pandemonium. he could not control the class. they would take linchpins out of cannons during artillery class and the canons would go spinning down the hill and the professor would have to run after them. , if you use it effectively, is a strikingly, startlingly real thing. if you have the moral courage to back it up, what you say goes. response was to march people out and shoot them. did not shoothe them, but the guns were cocked, and you hav

charlie: the transformation is going on into their places. one is television. people are looking more for what they want to watch and not paying for what they don't want to watch. they want to watch their tv everywhere. part of that is the technology of ott, over the top, allows customers to do that. the second transformation is the wireless industry, where the world will be connected all the time. there is only two ways to do this, one is through the wire and the other way is wirelessly. we started on this mission five years to say that we want to be part of that connectivity revolution. we think the best place to rest in the marketplace is in wireless technology. betty: so you have accumulated something like $60 billion in wireless assets? charlie: about 80 megahertz of spectrum. they vary in prices and valuations of what people think it is worth. but it is certainly worth a fair amount of money. but it is only really worth money when you put it to use and when you ultimately build a business around it and get discounted cash flows in the future. that is what

i see three major transformations taking place in cuba. right now the same time. the three of them began at different moments. -- thes the test economic transformation. you will have the centralization in the economy in general, and you will have a larger nonstate sector. so these two changes will lead to political changes to adapt the political system to the way the economy works. but at the same time, raul castro, in different locations, said, we have to advance and our democracy, we have to have a better democracy, a more persistent democracy. i invite everyone to disagree. and he is even said, the best decision comes out of a broad and profound discussion of different policy options. you cannot have anything more democratic than that. and at the same time there's this transformation which is the normalization of relations between cuba and the u.s. remember, in this is something confuse,le have to not the political changes in cuba began before. for example, 2013, there was an immigration reform. immigration reform allows every cuban to travel outside cuba whene
