AT&T CEO John Stankey & Tesla’s Crypto Dump 7/21/22

Consumers are taking longer to pay their bills, says AT&T CEO John Stankey. In an extended interview, Stankey discusses the pulse of the American consumer, as well as his company’s renewed focus on 5G and smart devices after the company spun-off its content business, WarnerMedia. In a surprise decision, the European Central Bank has raised interest rates for the first time in over a decade; CNBC’s Steve Liesman, Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin explain the significance of the move, particularly in light of the bloc’s energy turmoil. Tesla, once a crypto-believing company, has swapped 75% of its bitcoin holdings for fiat currency. Plus, the latest in Joe Kernen’s up-and-down viewing relationship with “The Old Man.”
