john harwood, cnbc colluding with the clinton campaign, i want to know who brian roberts from comcasts going to do. or huffman. here's the problem. there's never any accountability. all right? we call them out on shows like this, or other media reporters do, but there's never any suspensions, firings, accountability. >> and you follow me getting beat up. i am a conservative. i'm honest about it. and i get beat up for being honest. i get pounded every four years. this election season has been no different. matt? >> yeah, that's exactly right. i was on another network in the last 24 hours. and they did two packages before i was on on the debate in st. louis. and never even mentioned the four women who donald trump brought with him to the debate. they will not cover that story, because it exposes their bias and exposes their malpractice over the last 20 years. what's at the heart and center of all this is they have chosen sides. and they have chosen hillary's side. >> think of it, this is univision, nbc, cnn, "the new york times," the "boston globe," and how many others we'll find out, r

merger condition that said comcast would not try to get it there without, there was evidence that brian roberts had gone to the heads of news corp. and disney for making these decisions and setting unit, navy you guys got to consider, comcast might want to invest more in you if you don't do this deal. so a potential new competitor was squashed. this was precisely the danger the department of justice was concerned about. that's the source of what imposed the condition. and they did know about and to after the fact and into investigating another merger. the department of justice apparently felt strongly enough about it because we never went, because the width attribute we never had a complaint. we never knew for certain but i could point to that. i can point to the effort by, does a startup called concord, which tried to gain access to video programming under the video access condition that wasn't there that would stimulate over the topic that didn't work out very well. >> that's a tough one because these are all of negotiations. sometimes the cable companies pay and broadcaster or content creato

now, in the past in order to get comcast and nbc through, brian roberts and the comcast family made all sorts of concessions and signs that it would not try to be greedy or a hog or try to influence, for example, hulu in which nbc had a partial interest. some have interpreted that as a disappointment, that it didn't end up that way. i'm not savvy enough to know, but that that experience and maybe that rereit is -- retreat is a reason why this is going to get such scrutiny. what do you think? >> well, i think you just hit on head the problem with this. people say, well, look at the track record of mergers, they haven't always worked out well. in order for two companies to combine, they're forced to weaken themselves first. remember american airlines with u.s. air. okay, two bankrupt airlines, if you want to get together, you have to sell off some of your best gates. so in this case if aol -- if time warner and at&t want to merge, i'm sure they're going to have to sell off some of their best assets. what a shame. what a shame that we make, force companies to be sitting ducks in a world th

about comcast, and its wishes and whether or not it moves into wireless, certainly been out there, brian roberts, chairman and ceo, has talked about the wireless strategy at the company, i think it remains unclear. this opens up so many other possibilities as well, brian. you know this well having watched for a long time, in terms of content companies feeling they need to move, whether it is viacom and cnbc that m -- cbs that feel like we got to get together. >> we are watching the content providers today or content creators rise on the back of the speculation, discovery for one, lions gate all trading higher on the back of the reports. is this time warner specific or could there be another target in sight? >> i don't think there is another target in sight that i heard of, melissa. i think some of it is short covering, some of it is the idea that this will force more consolidation or companies i mentioned that do want to get content and believe it is the right strategy may look to other assets to do so. >> all right. thanks, david. >> okay. >> we should know time warner shares right now on fire

brian: yes. as sam roberts first reported. i'm brian duffy. >> tia: i'm tia ewing. complete tribe coverage in a moment. first, a look at traffic and, of meteorologist sam roberts. what's up, sam? >> samantha: i'm not speaking to you guys anymore. stay over there. i love you guys, too. it is a nice morning out there. good morning if you're just rolling out of bed, you won't even know what we're talking about. brian has an incredible story for you coming up in just a minute, and i'm not going to ruin it this time. there's no rain out there. we are completely dry for your morning commute, temperatures across cuyahoga county and most of the area are in the low 50s. lakewood, good morning to you. we're sitting at 53. also 53 out in shaker. this is weird. pretty much everyone on this map is at 53 degrees. moreland hills is 54. so feels pretty good out there, but we have a little bit of time before the sun comes up that we may drop in areas in the upper 40s. bundle up the kids as you send them off to the bus stop. most of us get through the morning drive, but there's like a

. >> but brian's -- because robert they have tried to get trump to stop saying the election count itself and to focus on the media, this is i'm also concerned about the voting booths and what happens in the count. the mainstream -- >> he won't and he won't until election day. the mainstream of the republican party doesn't want to have this kind of conversation. there's little to no evidence that this kind of fraud is occurring. what we see with donald trump is the creation of a grievance movement in this country, something that goes beyond the traditional right/left lines. >> we have a tradition, richard nixon, whatever you think of nixon before during and after, didn't stop the constitutional process of a change of office from a republican, general dwight eisenhower, to john f. kennedy. al gore took it in the chest. i didn't get the electoral vote, the supreme court intervened but i accept how that works with judicial review. will trump play games with this? will there be shenanigans? >> the answer is he should not. what robert said is absolutely true about the grievance movement. that

aren't necessarily ready to become media moguls and know how to run something like an nbc, and so brian robertsteve burke waiting -- thank god for that, because you need an operator in there. you are not -- i don't think of you as an elitist -- >> i take great offense to that. >> no, are you going to have the infrastructure -- i guess he is going to stay for a while or how is that going to work? i am not selling you work. >> yes, you just did, you sold me very short. >> do you have any idea with dealing with talent -- >> this is a serious question. people on television are crazy, and they are nutty, nutty people, and forget hollywood. >> you are making your point right here. >> you know what you are talking about. >> you are all going to be fine. >> we have, what, a year, to go through the review of this and then after it closes, we think all of our executives and creative people and journalists, of course, are going to stay because our company is going to be stronger and we are going to have more opportunity, and i am also going to stay for a period of at least a year or two to see how we need

brian: very nice. let's go out to sam roberts. she's at the great lakes brewery. hey, sam. >> samantha: hey, guys. good afternoon. best assignment ever. be jealous, brian. i am right behind the bar at great lakes brewing company in ohio city. it's packed in here. why are we at the brewery and why is everybody off work today? because it's the day of the year. it'sthe debut, the first pour of great lakes christmas ale. everybody looks forward to this all my cleveland beer lovers. so, this is a wonderful time to be down here at ohio city. but it's cold. so they got to drink it here. right? we can't hang out outside. you saw just a few minutes ago how windy it was. so, let's get straight to the maps. want to get you the forecast. we aren't just having fun here, ok? we are doing a little bit of work. we have dry conditions out there stay mainly dry for the rest of the afternoon. i don't think you are going to get poured on, but there could be a little scattered lake-effect rain that develops this afternoon. temperatures from here on out are going to be dropping. we will be falling from the 40s back into

. >> brian: whos is on the bandwagon is sam roberts and you're happy with her because the weather is absolutely perfect. sam. >> samantha: hey, guys. section 165 over here. very comfortable, actually. i feel like i have the whole place to myself. let's look at your forecast for today. we start off with that first pitch forecast. of course, first pitch is at 8:00 tonight, and it will it be absolutely gorgeous outside. temperatures around 62 at that first pitch. i think by the final out we'll be in the mid to upper 60s. so make take a light jacket with you. now that the sun is setting earlier and earlier probably a little cool with the light breeze. we have dry conditions this morning, and there is a light breeze this morning. temperatures in the 50s for most of us. it feels excellent, but only if you're like moving around. if you're sitting still, it's kind of cool. warming up quickly, though. mid 60 by 9:00 and 71 at 11:00 in the morning and 75 by 1:00. lunch on a patio today? i think so. down to about 72 by first pitch. so grab a jacket, grab yourself a nice, comfortable seat if you

all three of them fell in love with robert kennedy and i wanted to understand why. brianu were last here in 1998 for your book on the man who started the public relations business. you have done a lot of books since then and they are all over the place. how many have you done since 1998? larry: a total of six since the first one. so, seven in all. brian: what is your favorite? larry: this one. this one was 25% better than the one before because it let me interview more than 400 people, most of whom were heroes of mine growing up. there is nothing better than doing that. the good news was that i got the 400 people. the sad news was that easily a third of them died in the three years that i was writing this book. bobby kennedy would have turned 90 last november so his family, friends, and colleagues are old. brian: it is hard to believe that he was 42 when he was murdered. and that his murderer is still in prison. larry: i don't think any of us will ever think of him as anything other than that 42-year-old forever young guy. brian: 88 years old. ethel kennedy, still alive a

ainsley, brian, steve. >> john roberts in front of trump tower. john, you were in st. louis yesterday with me. we ran over you with a golf cart. remember? >> you have to justify your expenses. you have to name the city. there's a blank for that. >> i'm sometimes able to trace back the flights. but sometimes it gets fuzzy in the connection. >> we wanted to know who fell out of the golf cart at the end of the show. someone fell out. >> you'll find out -- >> that was mike emanuel. >> oh, no. >> did i spoil it? >> that's okay. we're going to show the video if 20 minutes. it's a good tease. >> don't say it. we're going to talk about it. >> take his suit to the dry cleaners. >> it might be mike emanuel or it might not? how about that? >> is he okay? >> right. >> good. did he survive? >> will he ever work again? >> real quick. in terms of what's happening with the republican party, they currently if you look at the polls as they were taken off the friday tape, looks like donald trump is down by double digits. i think the real story will be what will the polls look like after

robert richmond sgt. brian scooter joining us right now good to see you.o much for joining us sir. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> sergeant let me begin what happened in your case can you walk us through exactly what is happening. >> sure, in 2006 i was getting ready to owned my current enlistment i asked my unit representative if i was eligible for a bonus because i was debating whether or not i would reenlist. after talking to headquarters he came back to me said i was eligible for 7500 bonus for three years or 15,000 bonus for six years, i opted for the six years reenlisted, 10ies go by i receive a letter from the department of defense stating that my bonus was given to me illegally that it was against national guard policy and i had to immediately repay it, or they would turn me over to credit agencies the treasury department for collection. maria: and i assume part of the reason you even served in addition to want to go serve your country was the idea that you were going to see this bonus. >> i have heard there was definitely as a soldier i served m

to brian's point about donald trump being defiept, my colleague, robert o'hara, reported on this in june for the "post" talking about how trump was mentered by roy cone, one of the mccarthy-era lawyers, and one of the lessons in trump's formative professional years sort of gave him was this idea of never backing down, never apologizing. in this statement he did say he opposed, but it was -- apologized, but it was clear that he's not backing down. >> rebecca, what are your thoughts? >> i would like to highlight how unusual this moment is in the big picture of this campaign. donald trump has not once during this campaign that i remember apologized for any of the many controversial statements he's made. tonight he did. when the american people and when voters are going to accept that apology is an open question. we'll see in the days and weeks to come what the answer is. i think tonight it is incredible that donald trump has taken this step, admit he was wrong, said he will be better in the future. i think it underlines how important he recognizes and his campaign recognize that's this cont
