Are you asking me or Tom? I'm sorry.

You, sorry.

Okay.

If I may, I'd like to just read what I wrote in my book, Chasing the Story, about the demise of CBS News Radio.

Please.

And like so many others that day, 25 years ago today, McGraw, we couldn't believe what we saw when the first plane hit.

We just couldn't understand how this could happen on such a clear day.

Then the second plane hit, and we knew that it was terror.

And shortly after that, unbeknownst to us, the plane hit the Pentagon.

Uh, you're going to have to be very, uh, patient and creative because there are fewer and fewer places to work.

But yes, it...

I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything, not that they can be replicated now.

Because, uh, you know, when people would come to me, uh, Chris, and, and, and Sam, and, and Dan, when, when they would say, "Give me some career advice," I'd say, you know, "Make your mistakes at a small place.

So Peter, what's your prediction? Do you think ABC will make it?
