>>have you ever wanted to own a sports team? well, look, no further than the east bay, oakland, ballers, offering a community investment opportunity aiming to revolutionize the sports ownership model. this by giving fans a seat at the table. kron four's justine waltman spoke to the co-founder to find out more to talk about this. >>is one of the co-founders of the oakland ballers in a friend of us here on kron 4. brian carmel, thank carmel. thank you for joining thank you. good to be here. thanks for having me. ok, let's talk about how this works. he want fans to buy part of the team. >>yeah, you know, we are we're a team from when we launch, we're all about the community, right? and we are hold. al you system is about centering fans. so out the gate, we always knew that we're going to do a crowd funding round because you know what? how do you how do you break down barriers between teams and fans more than actually allowing fans to participate in the ownership of the team? so that's what that's what this is. we today announce what's called a testing. the
11:48 pm
waters phase where fans can essentially, you know, sign up to commit to, you know, buying participating in a crowd fund that there's no transaction today. it's just testing the waters and goes live in about for weeks. but it's been really exciting week in a matter of hours, had well over 1000 fans. just the last time i checked already reserving share. so it's proving that i think that this this idea that we're putting out there that there could be a new model, we're fans and teams, you know, participate in in the value together that affords them a sports team brings to a community. you know, i think that i think that the buy-in is proving our point. so we're really to have some interest. and so people are. >>giving you some money. what does buying it actually get you what you get to sort owner of ballers? sure. so there's economic just like any other investment. so that's one thing. but i think what's different about, you know, are offering is that.
11:49 pm
>>we're actually offering fans something that hasn't been done before in sports, which is a meaningful seat at the table. so it's a bundle of rights weeping. we can't speak to specifically to sec until the thing actually goes live in about 4 weeks. but we're talking about, you know, a meaningful, see that the table decision making things like whether a team moves from a city that's really important. and i think we've seen that here in the span plan what can happen when a community doesn't have say in whether teams or not, you know, the brand marks the logos and then also, you know, participation and a voice in terms of some key hiring decisions in the front that's those are the that's the way that fans get to actually participate in the ongoing business of the team. >>so an example here is that roots in seoul, the soccer club, big kind of like a same thing. they raised about 2 million dollars. what did the ballers want to rays during this first round? >>sure. so companies are stage
11:50 pm
that have reviewed. financials can raise up to 1.3, 5 million. so, you know, that's that's a goal of ours. i'm but again, i think that it's beyond the money. unlike other offerings fans actually up this bundle of rights that i'm, you know, legally enforceable rights in a seat at the table in terms of the future decision-making in the teens. so that's when we, you know, lot of teams of crowdfunded. when we talk about putting out a new model in terms of the relationship between sports teams and fan bases, that's really what we're talking about. >>and what would be like a of a minimum buy-in if i wanted to like be part of this. >>that is another one of those things that i can't speak to due to sec rules and regulations. but we're excited to put our values into practice and let you know, give chance, give fans a chance to have a say in the team. i thought people might want to at least hear that. that answer from you that we could we couldn't officially say because people are wondering like about well. >>right? how much can i give to like be a part of this? because you said there is a lot of interest. you believe that you're the first united
11:51 pm
states professional sports team to offer fans this opportunity to buy into the voting teams like. why do you want to give fans such a big seat at the table here? >>i think that what we've seen is just a system and that is systemically broken in the united in the last 80 years, 30 professional sports teams have moved from their cities of origin. something is wrong with that. you know, i think that i think that a sports team is part is like should be a enduring. it's cultural institutions, part of the fabric of the city. and that's not you know, that's not what's happening when owners can essentially leverage fanbases and and you know, and the passion and the dedication that they have, the fan base is in order to pursue like a different deal, forced a a ballpark in a different city. and so i think that's our value proposition. we want to actually create some guardrails around what an ownership group can do and what better way to do that than by actually inviting fans to be part of the ownership
11:52 pm
group with that seat at the table. all right. quickly here, house the season going. >>the last i saw record. 25 19 and you could go all the way into the postseason. it's good. we can go to the postseason. get the pioneer league. it's going great. we've got a winning record. you know, it's a it's a funky playoff system in the pioneer league. there's 12 teams and we're actually in the hunt for a playoff race leading up to midseason. >>which is in about a week because the top 2 teams at the midpoint automatically get a playoff berth from the 1st half. and then the top 2 teams from the 2nd half get the other 2 playoff berths. it's a for its a 4 team playoff. so really exciting. big stakes. big night tonight at the ballpark. and so hopefully with another win last night. yeah. >>let's go. all right, brian. the co-founder of the oakland ballers, one of the we appreciate your time. good luck. thanks for having me. >>more news on this

12:06 am
this is a joe biden who had come to the debate couple of weeks ago. i think we wouldn't be in this. there with the country democrats would be in the circumstances that they are. >>well, and i following the debate, one of the biggest issues that analysts like had was the fact that no one really talked about the future. and we did hear more about what his plans are, especially obviously when it comes to international policy. do you think that that that helped even more so? >>i look, i think several things are happening at once. and these are these can all be true, even though some are in conflict. first of by this old and he's never been caught us from speaking style, right? wanders all over the place. that's always been the case. secondly, democrats are really deeply divided and they're playing it out in public. so this is terrible for democrats and for the biden white house, some democrats are panicky. others are just resigned. it is fair to say joe biden is
12:07 am
getting a level of scrutiny on his performance that donald trump has really never got. and this brings around to your question about may just just one example. you know, joe biden made a couple of gaffes. confused some names and like lowers possible names to confuse right a couple of times. but donald trump wants to pull the u.s. out of nato. and yet we're finding ourselves discussing that gas more than the pros and cons of the trump policy. so i think the fact that this wasn't taking place at the end of a successful nato event was strongly for biden. but i think also we have some responsibility to take your that. we seem to be a little more interest of the drama than the boring policy staff. so is this narrative unfair? >>to question whether biden is up to the job of beating trump because you have what, folks from the house as at least one
12:08 am
senator who are publicly saying that they don't think you can do it. and then if you, you know, if you believe george clooney. everybody he talks to won't say it publicly, but we'll say it privately. so are we making too much of something? is it unfair or is it a real thing? >>absolutely. think it's fair. i think it is extremely important for the electorate to the u.s. the strength of the fatality, the competence of the people who want to lead absolutely 100%. what i think is that perhaps the discussion that's happening now, it is incomplete. i think maybe it's centering around style and not bringing in quite enough certainly. i think donald trump realizes this as well, which is why he stayed mostly quiet until tonight for about the last 10 days. >>i was going to say we really have not heard much the other
12:09 am
candidate in the race here. i'm wondering how smart that is for his campaign for him to have stayed quiet as the democrats, as you said, are being very loud and public with their concerns about their candidate. >>yeah, there's a great old i believe it came from a war context, but it's just as likable and politics. never interrupt your opponent while he's making a mistake. it was absolutely the right thing to do from tactically for donald trump to stay quiet while the engaged in probably are not done with the circular firing squad. >>anything nancy pelosi and chuck schumer and hakeem jeffries will proceed now. >>with there either. calls for him to continue making a decision. as pelosi famously said yesterday, even though trump said he what do you think their move a bit? >>so this isn't really
12:10 am
wonderful question. i'm so happy you asked that because something i've noticed in the the that's been missing is this really smart elected officials understand that one way to get somebody to do something you want them to do is not by just application of pressure. it's also by giving them the space to make the decision you want them to make and having it look like it's theirs. so i'm actually use that knowledge a lot. when i worked in washington direct pressure isn't always the best way to get from a to b and what i'm hearing. a lot of that in some in the statements i'm seeing from really senior really good democrats, you know, like the ones i think i think practice politics. well, they're saying things like, oh, i'm sure he'll do what's best for the country or i trust him to make the right decision. that kind of talk is often what you say publicly to show that you're giving somebody the room to make a decision rather than risking a
12:11 am
pushing them into position that causes them to heart. >>the president different polls coming out. of course, and basically non belief in that some of these polls are even correct. what's your take on that? and is that a smart thing for him to be kind of ignoring what? general american public thinks of him at this point. >>that was one of the moments i found most uncomfortable during interview with george when he said he didn't believe is 36% approval rating. i just thought that show that he was perhaps out of touch or may be ignoring. the message is that people are sunday, right, that we that we want something better, something different and our leadership that said there is a mistake to be pulled or i'm there. the polls are all over the place just today. i have seen polls that show the race is nearly tied up. also seeing poll showing
12:12 am
that biden is now losing states that were not considered swing states. i think you can tie yourself up in knots by just being and as a campaign, you have stay the course. all a message is be aware, but not holder of that. >>the other thing that struck me, that stephanopoulos interview was trump or i'm sorry, biden not being able to definitively say whether he had rewatch the debate. i guess my question, though, donna, is. who do you think has a better chance to beat trump, biden or kamala harris? >>i think probably if i had to pick, i think probably biden. i think you know, given my experience and work and also the teaching that i do on women in politics, i think there is depth of discomfort in this with women and with women of color in leadership positions, especially chief executive leadership positions in washington. i'm that i don't think we have plumbed. yeah. i think that would be
12:13 am
even though it looks like she's slightly polls now the public doesn't know her well. and we really haven't dug into those conscious bias i think we have >>anything that you can point to that we might be expecting to see in the coming days or weeks ahead as head towards the democratic national convention. >>couple things i would watch to see whether the sort drip, drip of elected expressing concern about it and starts to slow. i notice one member of congress to come out with a statement right after tonight's nato address. but i want to watch overnight and tomorrow and the next day to see if that slows a little bit. i'm also interested in seeing who donald trump picks for his vice president. >>you know, at the link we all right. donna crane, political science lecturer at san jose state university. always appreciate you taking some time and sharing your expertise. >>thank you so much. thanks, ana. >>kron on will continue with

what? how do you how do you break down barriers between teams and fans more than actually allowing fans to participate in the ownership of the team? so that's what that's what this is. we today announce what's called a testing. the waters phase where fans can essentially, you know, sign up to commit to, you know, buying participating in a crowd fund that there's no transaction today. it's just testing the waters and it goes live in about for weeks. but it's been really exciting week in a matter of hours, had well over 1000 fans. just the last time i checked already reserving share. so it's proving that i think that this this idea that we're putting out there that there could be a new model, we're fans and teams, you know, participate in in the value together. that affords been a sports team brings to a community. you know, i think that i think that the buy-in is proving our point. so we're really to have some interest. and so people are. >>giving you some money. what does buying it actually get you what you get to sort owner
12:26 am
of ballers? sure. so there's economic just like any other investment. so that's one thing. but i think what's different about, you know, are offering is that. >>we're actually offering fans something that hasn't been done before in sports, which is a meaningful seat at the table. so it's a bundle of rights. we we can't speak to specifically to sec until the thing actually goes live in about 4 weeks. but we're talking about, you know, a meaningful seat at the table decision making things like weather whether a team moves from a city that's really important. and i think we've seen that here in the plan. what can happen when a community doesn't have say in whether teams or not, you know, the brand marks the logos and then also, you know, participation and a voice in terms of some key hiring decisions in the front that's those are the that's the way that fans get to actually participate in the ongoing business of the team. >>so one example here is that roots in seoul, the soccer
12:27 am
club, think that kind of same thing. they raised about 2 million dollars. what did the ballers want to rays during this first round? >>sure. so companies are stage that have reviewed. financials can raise up to 1.3, 5 million. so, you know, that's that's a goal of but again, i think that it's beyond the money. unlike other offerings, fans actually have this bundle of rights you know, legally enforceable rights in a seat at the table in terms of the future decision-making in the teens. so that's when we, you know, lot of teams of crowdfunded. when we talk about putting out a new model in terms of the relationship between sports teams and fan bases, that's really what we're talking about. >>and what would be like a of a minimum buy-in if i wanted to like be part of this. >>that is another one of those things that i can't speak to due to sec rules and regulations. but we're excited to put our values into practice and let you know, give chance, give fans a chance to have a say in the team. out. i thought people might want to at least hear
12:28 am
that. that answer from you that week. we couldn't officially say because people are wondering like about well. >>right? how much can i give to like be a part of this because you said there was a lot of interest. you believe that you're the first united states professional sports team to offer fans this opportunity to buy into the voting teams like. why do you want to give fans such a big seat at the table here? >>i think that what we've seen is just a system and that is systemically broken in the united in the last 80 years, 30 professional sports teams have moved from their cities of origin. something is wrong with that. you know, i think that i think that a sports team is part is like should enduring. it's cultural institutions, part of the fabric of the city. and that's not you know, that's not what's happening when owners can essentially leverage fanbases and and you know, and the passion and the dedication that they have 2 fan bases in order to pursue like a different deal, forced a ballpark in a different city.
12:29 am
and so i think that's our value proposition. we want to actually create some guardrails around what an ownership group can do and what better way to do that than by actually inviting fans to be part of the ownership group with that seat at the table. all right. quickly here, house the season going. >>the last i saw record. 25 19 and you could go all the way into the postseason. it's good. we can go to the postseason. get the pioneer league. it's going great. we've got a winning record. you know, it's a it's a funky playoff system in the pioneer league. there's 12 teams and were actually in the hunt for a playoff race leading up to midseason. >>which is in about a week because the top 2 teams at the midpoint automatically get a playoff berth from the 1st half. and then the top 2 teams from the 2nd half at the other 2 playoff berths. it's a 4 to 14 playoff. so really exciting. big stakes. big night tonight at the ballpark. and so hopefully with another win last night. yeah. >>let's go. all right, brian. the co-founder of the oakland ballers, one of the we appreciate your time. good luck. thanks for

12:55 am
giant mounds of crushed ice which state a lot to roll around in burrow and just turn into little doughnut. top of these crushed ice melt. >>that is a fantastic visual that you're paying for is their fellow. i mean, i understand like, you know, this is all part of the enrichment activities to get you offer to your animals to make sure that they stay mentally stimulated in the facility. s. >>he is. richmond is a big part of what we do here for animals. it does keep them mentally and physically stimulative. although here it also gives them a choice of how to spend their day and the activities that they do. so ice and staying cool is one of those enrichment tools that we love to give our animals. >>yeah. and it's it's wonderful seeing all those animals just getting sprayed down and just enjoying the it really looks like they're getting pampered out there. now a pella. we understand that you do have a fun event that kicked off this month. it's sunset fridays us. tell us about it. >>yes, the second season that we're doing and originally the inception of this came from
12:56 am
idea open this. you look just a little bit later for and as you're starting to ask people in the community, when is this something you would attend? we found that the demand was huge. a lot of museums and attractions do have thursday night event in the city. but it's adults-only. this is the only one that is well good for all ages for families. and it's meant to be that way for everything from food to the drinks to the dance of the animal experiences. everyone has its met for the whole family and the founder little niche on this and of the city that bill, there was any for that demand for it. and you found out members, our community come and the support it heavily and the best part of all this is the proceeds go to support conservation that the zoo is doing on a year-round basis. so it's all for a good cause. so wonderful. so while we're on the topic of conservation, maybe walk us through some of the conservation work that zoo is doing to help protect different species around the planet.
12:57 am
>>so one of the big things that we're doing is we are focusing on the 14 critically endangered species that we have in the zoo, which is a large amount for us this are not only looking to preserve the amount species here, but have efforts to breathe those animals and release them into the wild. the recently have done that in the yosemite valley critically endangered frog species. so we're doing our part not only to educate the public, but to also try and repopulate certain areas of the state in which species account is running and while we're on the topic of species that are little endangered and of course, under threat. >>a big client, big headline, of course, is the giant pandas coming to the san francisco how excited are you guys for this? >>we're absolutely thrilled in and out 910 times. i get questions about the giant panda partially we do not have a whole lot news right now. we're still trying to work out the details, but the
12:58 am
excitement is overflowing. not just from from our team, but from and the community itself. it is something that's huge news here. and we're looking forward to releasing more news okay. fantastic. so we will definitely be. stay tuned on a further developments on that story. a lot of folks excited about those giant pandas coming to san know what are you anticipating? also as we look ahead towards the fall months, what can guests expect >>well, we do have the largest hay maze in the and that is part of our out blue at the zoo program. we do every single year. it's very family everyone comes in during the months of october in their halloween outfits. they enjoy the giant hay maze. >>we do have some also some holiday program that will be coming up. i don't want to spoil any surprises yet. that is a gift that we're going to also get to. the communities are excited to also unveil that later on. but year-round. we are open 3.65. the weather is pretty stable so we just

1:01 am
1:02 am
insight on the president's speech. take a look. >>there is a lot to unpack. obviously, there are several different questions. he seemed extremely confident, obviously at the beginning during the press conference as he was, you know, reading off the teleprompter. and then, of course, pretty soon afterwards as questions started to be fielded, you could tell he faltered a bit. we do, of course, have political analyst michael yaki on with us. i believe. michael, are you with us? >>yes. so on >>something that i noticed, obviously with the president, joe biden, as we've all been watching for the last 4 years when he's questioned about his faltering or his misspeak kings, he tends to laugh and joke which you had mentioned earlier, wondering whether or not he would kind of smirk and make a joke about faltering on zelenskyy rasputin. earlier today. at what point is the joke and the smirking when he makes missteps like this
1:03 am
inappropriate since people are truly concerned about his cognitive abilities at this point. >>well, as i was telling grant earlier, president biden is known for these kinds of cassie, what's called barack obama, the first african-american in the united states. and these are things that he tends to and it's it's humor it's full of humor. and you think about it afterwards and he laughs about it as well. it's just in the context of the debate it's all made the fight. and so when. he made the gaffe about about the vice president early the couple others that he did. you if those are the headlines that you're going to at least they're going to be seeing it put past social media and the media itself over over the next 24 hours. what's interesting is that i actually thought he did ok. and he did better in the back half. they
1:04 am
then the front of the of the of his news conference and went a little bit longer. i think his staff wanted to go so, you know. talk about that. it's like you just fire away. whatever you want to ask. >>michael, was good enough? 2 save his re-election campaign kind quell the calls for him to get >>yeah, i think that if one thing you can say. but joe biden is that he knows foreign policy any and foreign policy has been his strength throughout his career. and you could tell in the discussions about china filling other things. you know, he his real key is a real understanding. nuance, of course, you want is like a little bored in to meet people. but it's it's for president or for or for secretary of state. and certainly for someone who has a grasp how all how the world
1:05 am
tends work together, he did. i think a very good job on that. you know that the issue is going to be the 1st half of the debate had the flubs had them at the peaks you. this is first impressions mean a lot in the first impression of the gate when called because as president putin followed by the by calling the vice president harris, vice president trump. those are the things that that he had been here really. so hold it, himself out of if you look at it just without the debate of 2 weeks ago. in your mind, it was typical job. it was. and he had some very good moments. i think the thing about guns, his is his little snappy control guns, not girls me. you're going to see that on bumper stickers and and on the internet, end up with and within seconds right now, that was very good. these are the but the passion, if you know,
1:06 am
a coach debate. i used to to coach people in debate and, you know, if there's one thing i would say that the whispering it just makes you look silly when you do that with spring-like talking to somebody else a he he needs. he needs more of the moments about the about about control, about women's rights, these kinds of things. he did a great job of after want to get their of of defending promoting the vice president her ability to to succeed one. and he got very candid for the end and in the in discussing, you know what, what would make him not want to run? you know, a poll that showed he just couldn't be donald trump, these kinds of things. but will it be enough? i don't know. but is it enough to take him out? i don't think so. think i feel. >>well, i think to this is a
1:07 am
little bit more what people we we didn't get from the debate with do. they didn't really talk about the future. it was all past what you did. what you did do, this was a little bit more focused on what his international policy is going to be, how he's going to, you know, talk with china and terms of their involvement with russia. but like you just said, i was he convincing enough and strong enough that he would be able to handle this 3 years from now. and, you know, you just mentioned, you know, that's joe doing the whispering or the, you you know, his little laughs and that sort of thing. his gaffes missed but 3 years from now, those sorts of things are necessarily funny. they're not necessarily funny now. so it's hard to know how his delegates are going to to feel about this. >>well, i don't know how his advisors felt about him saying, yeah, sure, they can vote wherever whenever they want 3, that's that's not what you should have been and if, in fact, they can't really do that. their ballot by the by
1:08 am
the convention rules to 2 vote for the candidate, at least on the first ballot. but and that pretty much be enough put him over on august 7th, in the virtual bout in the virtual roll call that they're going to do. i mean, this if this were taken out of context, there's no donald trump. others just sent and other kind of candidate. they were where people did not consider democracy to be addressed, rightly or wrongly we want to be thinking about this in quite the same way. but because of states that the democratic party believes or are there that that i believe the majority of the american people, believe, are there that they need to be convinced that this. joe biden can take the challenge of of taking out someone who just, you keeps on coming back. don't like donald trump does all the time you know, it's not it's not going
1:09 am
i don't think this was fatal. joe biden, but it's certainly not going to stop. the questions about whether or not he has the the fitness to continue that, especially when he's complaining about being over staff to over schedule. the fact is when your candidate you are over scheduled, if you have one more opportunity, go to one more event to talk to one more person. you do you don't say, well, i need i need to go to it's just not how it works. it is. it is tough is all encompassing and a candidate needs understand that. and if you can't do that and then you have to go into another debate with donald trump and you are exhausted again. that's that's the nightmare scenario that every democratic strategist tad and party leader has right now is like we know. joe biden
1:10 am
is we know his strengths. we know his weaknesses and we know what his new weaknesses are. and if they show up again at the second debate, there's nothing we can do about it. nothing. the only time we can do something about it, it is to prevent that from happening by finding someone quickly. i don't know tonight's performance will give them give the people who wanted to be replaced enough room to make that happen. >>he's 81. the next debate is in a couple months and the election is a couple months after that. we have to leave it there for time. michael, we thank you for years. have a good night. and we have to take a short break. we'll be right back with more right after this. thank you, michael. >>kron on will 2 astronauts are
