Would I consider a run for political office? Yes.

I'd like to run a professional football team. I'd love to run the USTA, be the sports editor of the 'New York Times.'

I grew up watching CNN, and my memory of CNN is James Earl Jones saying, 'This is CNN.'

I think you could argue that President Obama could have watched a little cable news... I do think that there is value in understanding where the conversation is and having a little less detachment where the popular conversation is.

I think the Internet has given rise to voices that want to attack others.

Everybody has an iPhone; everyone can be a reporter now. Everybody can tell a story from every part of the world. Why places like CNN matter is that it is still important to bring them together, put context around it, and explain it.

Just because somebody says you are not trustworthy, that doesn't mean it is so... CNN's brand equity is built over 37 years doing hard work in very dangerous places... those who rely on CNN trust CNN more than ever.

You don't need to be partisan. CNN does need to stick to a nonpartisan point of view. That doesn't mean there can't be more passion and excitement.

When people think about CNN today, they think about our television coverage, politics, and Donald Trump. And I get it; I'm not suggesting that's wrong. But I think there is a much bigger story going on at CNN.

I think that there are three incredible brands in the news and information space. I think ESPN owns sports; I think the Weather Channel owns weather, and I want CNN to own news and information in the global digital video space.
