first to our own adam shapiro in washington where lawmakers have been i will greg tech executives allay long. they keep going. hi, adam. reporter: trish, look at video from inside the hearing room. the committee is now listening to jack dorsey and this is a committee that is specifically grilling mr. dorsey about twitter and free speech issues and he has said, i want to read you something he said before we go to something that happened earlier this morning. a default to free expression left unchecked can generate risks and dangers for people. it is important twitter distinguishes between people's opinions and behaviors and disarms behavior intending to silence another person or adversely interfere with their universal human rights. so jack dorsey over the next three to four hours will be answering questions from the committee members about, does twitter silence specific forms of political speech, i.e., conservative speech. he is going to probably say, no, they don't but earlier this morning the issue did come to head and it was an issue that had a much broader discussion going on with

liz: want to bring in adam shapiro, who has been monitoring all of this. that was interesting, he's saying all the right things. are they sincere, let's hope they are. one of the things i heard jack dorsey say is they have to contact a bunch of different law enforcement agencies, whether the fbi or local. he wants a single contact point so they don't bounce around. >> there are several moving parts to all of this. you keyed in on a big part from this morning's hearing with the senate intelligence committee in which they were talking about the fact that twitter and facebook and other social media companies are sharing information when it comes to national security issues as well as some of the nefarious actors like russia who committee members on the senate intelligence committee said is still impacting u.s. elections, trying to influence voters through the use of social media and bots and fake accounts. so that issue was this morning and jack dorsey was talking about that issue and working not only with his compatriots in the social media world but also wi

with all of this, and the business focus as well, adam shapiro, on why nike chose such a lightning rod to be the face of its campaign and maybe it's already working for them, because they had to have anticipated exactly this response. >> this is the largest global seller of athletic footwear and clothing, so of course nike which, by the way, we reached out to multiple times, they have not responded to fox business, but you would think nike has thought this decision through. just to give you a real quick look, you can see the stock price but their global market share just for footwear, they control something like 27% of the athletic footwear globally in the united states, little bit over 30%. adidas, they are gaining in the united states, but still well behind nike. so you talked about the boycotts. and there was also serena williams, the tennis player, she tweeted this. i use a few tweets pro and con, especially proud to be part of the nike family today. that's serena williams. there you see it's only a crazy dream until you do it. this is part of, by the way, the 30th anniversary camp

adam shapiro with the latest and react sun on capitol hill. hey, adam. reporter: hey, neil. the way to break down this roughly three-hour hearing, a couple of key points. one, russia is still at it, according to committee members, trying to influence u.s. elections through social media. that the entities like facebook and twitter are sharing data. they are sharing data it comes to security issues. they share information with one another once they identify a bad actor. they do this with other social media companies but they said more needs to be done. and the third issue which was hanging over this, the chairman senator burr alluded to, which is that regulation is probably coming. he said if we need to have regulation, let's have an open and honest discussion about it. you were zeroing in on key points here, some of the suggestions making sure if you know you use facebook or twitter, you're being contacted by a bot, not necessarily good or bad, but not a human being. let me let you listen to an exchange from mr. dorsey with twitter and then with sheryl sandberg about the diff

we will bring in adam shapiro who is more. adam. >> yeah, okay, i'm on this camera. there we go.- pull up the nike stock and you can see it there. nike is a global company and had $34.5 billion in sales in fiscal 2018 and we will report the first quarter 2019 earnings on september 25. remember they control something like 27 and half% of the sports apparel market globally. this play could be much more than the red states but a global play to increase their sales overseas. in the united states there the one number one athletic footwear maker and they are losing a little bit too adidas but they still have more than 10% gain over adidas in the market. one last thing, nike in march of this year actually renew the contract with the nfl. they supply the uniforms. that contract takes them through 2025, as of this point. they will provide all the undervalued forms with the nike swoosh and we are busily reached out starting yesterday to both nike and to the nfl and they have said not a word to the nfl, if you are watching, even calling you and reached out to you but let's talk. charles: i
