time warner is in play.leads us to the trend, many companies have felt it is better to sell or merge and to try to go at it alone. what is the strongest trend you have seen? >> if you are an earner the ma owner today, now's a good time to sell. don't wait six months or year from now to see if valuations go higher. you can structure a transaction in which you can get some sort of run out or stock options for future growth and performance in the company. don't be greedy for the last little bit. the financing is out there, so get the deal closed and then you can worry about the higher valuation. liz: i love the story at men's warehouse and joseph a bank. now they say we will come back at you, they want to take over joseph a bank. what happens in this make a deal? >> i am wearing a joseph a bank tie for this occasion. it is sort of a joseph a bank pac-man. maybe i will be online for the sales but i am one of the purest or traditional select to be with the family on thanksgiving rather than in the store. more of

comcast and time warner cable apparently not actively discussing deal terms but time warner cable making is their preferred buyer. craig moffett is here this morning. >> good to talk to you. and kudos to david for quite a scoop there. >> it does move the ball forward in a big way. what does it mean for our parent? how would it fit if it were to work? >> well, look, the synergies here are very real and comcast is a better fit probably than charter in some sense in that if charter follows through with the kind of numbers that were reported by the wall street journal this morning, you're looking at an entity that would be levered at more than six times ebidta. that's a tremendous amount of leverage. the cable industry was trading at about six times ebidta as recently last year. that's a very aggressive level of debt. i think that's one of the reasons time warner cable would be interested in a white knight like comcast. >> david mentioned that the geographies seemed to work between a comcast and time warner. what do you imagine the anti-trust people who are giving comcast advice are saying?

they also deliver services. >> warner: their growing power alarms the f.s.a.'mmanding general, saa salim it idriss who spoke from turkey. >> they are fighting against the free syrian army. they are trying to control territory which is we liberated before and they don't fight against the regime and they are, for us, very dangerous and maybe sometimes more dangerous than the regime. >> warner: sr. this because they're bet equipped? >> when the regime is trying to do some pressure on a front, they begin and start to do a lot of trouble from our forces in other regions so that we are forced to send fighters to face them. >> warner: idriss repeated a long-standing plea, that the u.s. and other friendly powers give his forces more weapons, equipment, training and money. the lack of those resources helped prompt the resignation of his friend, colonel akaidi, he said. >> when we don't receive support sometimes we can't weaken the pressure and humans have limits and sometimes someone as criminal as abdul-jabbar comes to the limits and says "okay, enough, as a commander

caleb warner is still paying off student loans for that degree he never got.e follow up now with an attorney with the foundation for individual rights in education also called fire. and i appreciate you being with us. part of the question really has to do i guess with how universities look at the burden of proof. >> yes, well, thank you for having me, and thank you for devoting an entire week to this very important subject. as you say the crux of the matter is that universities decide guilt by a preponderance of the evidence standard. that means 50.01% certainty that an accused student is responsible for the action. >> which is not what it is in the criminal environment. >> exactly. in the criminal environment it's beyond a reasonable doubt which is somewhere up in the 90s, so there is a vast difference between the two, and essentially universities are making decisions on a .01 margin of error. >> it's 50% plus a little bit that we believe? >> yes. >> and is this an established principal of a federal guideline or up to an individual university? >> it was manda

chief foreign affairs correspondent margaret warner sat down with hussain haqqani, pakistan's former ambassador to washington, to discuss that relationship. >> the pakistani people and the american people have suffered terribly from terrorism in the past. >> warner: it's a critical relationship for the united states these days, key to washington's fight against terrorism and its plans to leave afghanistan next year. but relations with pakistan have been rocky ever since that country's birth in 1947. they united against the soviet union in afghanistan in the 1980s, but fell out over pakistan's secret development of a nuclear weapon in the 90s. since 9/11, while nominally cooperating against terrorists, they've been at odds over taliban and al qaeda-linked fighters sheltering in pakistani territory, and over u.s. drone strikes against those militants. the low point? the 2011 u.s. raid that killed osama bin laden hiding out in a city near pakistan's capital. hussain haqqani, pakistan's ambassador to the u.s. from 2008-2011, examines the roots of this fractious partnership in a new book

time warner cable moving to highs today. time warner cable shares have been jumping as the wall street journal reported late thursday yesterday it that charter communications was prayer preparing to make a bid, and there's another story brewing, time warner has reached out to comcast and that is to try to head off of it, from charter communications. keep an eye on all three. there's turner communications also higher, 5% at 13383 so this is a story that has just begun. end we will continue to follow it. time warner jumping as well. nicole: it must be a cool day down there. liz: record-breaking right and left for the market. can it continue? let's bring in the traders who are watching the flows, making markets, cme group, nynex, john corder tina, we would have expected even a slight pullback after yesterday's historic taos 16,000 but yet we didn't. to what do you attribute that? >> perfect opportunity to take some risks, short-term profits off the table and we are not seeing that. that is telling me that the sellers are happy

>> warner: a huge shadow, judy. first of all, clearly the expulz iranians and really everyone wants to avoid the embarrassment of last time, when the u.s. and iran appeared close to the outlinesave deal, and then all the other foreign ministers came in and the french raised sudden objections. in fact, we had an interesting little tidbit about this today, that the u.s. hinted expat the eu spokesman confirmed that lady ashton only invited secretary kerry and the foreign ministers hearing of this decided they would come. the other reason they want to avoid another setback, in the interim critics any of potential deal have really gained ground, especially certainly in washington. and right now, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in russia lobbying president putin against the deal. so even though u.s. officials say-- said tonight at a briefing we're not in a rush to get any deal, i do sense from them a feeling of urgency, that if this first step process goes on too much longer it could get dragged down by criti

time warner itself has been under siege to a certain extent. we know charter and liberty, since last june have been eyeing that company, trying to get it to the negotiating table, to agree to discuss a deal under which the much smaller charter would acquire time warner cable. the stock of which has been up sharply on takeover speculation since we really did report it back in june. that deal remain a question mark in terms of whether charter will be able to publicly propose it put enough pressure on time warner and shareholder base to get the cable giant to the negotiating table to try to hammer out a premium deal. but at the same time, i can tell you that time warner would prefer if that were the case to try to negotiate a deal with comcast, of course our parent network. all of that does not mean we'll see consolidation any time soon. certainly investors are embracing this team, as is the looks of jon meloan one of the pioneers of the cable business overall. he's fixated on netflix and what that has meant to destabilizing the cable business. a
