with disney i don't think they're they're friendly with disney i don't think that robertson and bob iger a best of buddies after they went through the bidding war for fox were by the way uyghur i believe think said comcast drove that price that disney had to pay over. seventy billion for fox even though they maybe had no intention of going through with it. so here's here's what's going to happen with the thirty nine percent because comcast made the bid so high as you pointed out almost forty billion dollars there thirty nine percent of sky disney's thirty nine percent of sky is now worth fifteen billion dollars at that offering so some say disney's going to cash out take the fifteen billion and pay down some of that debt that they will keep an eye on that which is pretty interesting for the fastest growing economy in the world. and in a tell you news today i fand token cryptocurrency will be offered by the juve's ball club that's the football or soccer team that both star player christan e o. naldo rather the team has one of the largest fan bases of any team in the world and a massive so

now bob iger says it will cost less than netflix and less than dc universe. >> how well at&t can marketspring from its new opposition the warner brothers catalog is not being put to word and john stanki is working on a new model to be announced this year. when it comes to competition of n netflix, stevenson says his videos are like tiffany to walmart. mike is at the plasma with a call to action >> we are talking about netflix here this is the 800 pounds or 400 pounds we are looking at a bull issue trend. first of all the stock is at a bull issue trend we have something that can make the stock move fairly sharply. taking a look at those moves and what we have noticed is the current price of option is implying a move that's lower than that. it is implying a move of just about 7% on earnings and over the last eight quarters, it averaged about 8%. options are looking like a decent value what we are targeting are these prior highs and we are trying to avoid returning to these levels if that's what we are looking at taking a look at the trade specifically, i am looking at to capture the octob

bob iger of disney has always said this is the jewel for him and he still owns 39%. keep it and does comcast have to swallow disney as a minority shareholder? >> i would presume comcast is more than happy to let disney be a minority owner and own 39%, reducing cost and leverage contest takes on with skillful control if they can get over 51% of shareholders to tender their stake. i cannot figure out why would disney want to be a 39% shareholder. if i were in disney shoes, it does not hold a lot of value now that you have lost the larger acquisition. i think your comments about bob iger's commentary is what is fascinating, he wanted distribution, surprised that they were willing to not bid hired to make comcast lose. i expect disney to tender their shares for comcast would be happy for them to do nothing and sit without minority stake for years. caroline: contact does comcast down the most at one point since january of 2009. thank you rich greenfield. it is sector in flux with the comcast acquisition of sky. the vice president chairman and ceo of liberty global spoke t

with disney i don't think they're they're friendly with disney i don't think that robertson and bob iger a best of buddies after they went through the bidding war for fox were by the way uyghur i believe think said comcast drove that price that disney had to pay you. over seventy billion for fox even though they maybe had no intention of going through with it. so here's here's what's going to happen with the thirty nine percent because comcast made the bid so high as you pointed out almost forty billion dollars there thirty nine percent of sky disney's thirty nine percent of sky is now worth fifteen billion dollars at that offering so some say this is going to cash out take the fifteen billion and pay down some of that debt that they incurred for the fox deal others say that maybe they'll just stay in it and ride and see what you know what sky could do for them it's a joy all that and the crown that that i wanted but doesn't have one other footnote here five may one of the caviar at disney owns now because a fox a by buying fox sixty percent of hulu comcast owns thirty eight ten so there

now, bob iger says tha will cost less than netflix and less than d.c. universe. the d.c. it a true test whether niche top services can work and how they can marke the offerings from the acquisition. at&t ceo randall stephenson talked about the value he sees in direct to consumer distribution saying the warner brothers catalog is not put to work and the company is look in for a direct to consumer model later this year. when it comes to competition with netflix stephenson said his hbo is tiffany to netflix's wal-mart. >> thanks so much. mike is not only betting the streaming giant survives the competition he sees netflix returning to highs at the plasma with a call to action, mike. >> we are talking about netflix obviously. this is the 400 pound gorilla in the room 800 pounds, whichever. we are looking at making a bullish bet. here is the thing. first of all the stock is in a bullish trend. and secondly, we do have a identifiable catalyst coming up in the form of earnings which they're going to be announcing in october we have something that could make the stock move sharpl

some say bob iger has a big ego. guy: brian has been losing out.to be in the back of his head? 2004,, since 24 -- since his fourth takeaway he has failed for if he fails. he tried to buy fox most recently and that did not work. talking about: the trading, such a binary proposition, there must be some fantastic trading to be done. have you heard of interesting trades? >> today, the sky share prices increased by 1%, maybe there are rumors in the market for big things to come. we have seen that trade going on today. it is difficult to call if you are a traitor because it could be the case that comcast and disney and fox turn up at the auction and hardly change their option -- change their offers, they could be around 14 pounds, 75. expect fireworks. or we could get blowout bids and near 18 pounds or 19 pounds per share. it is so hard to call. vonnie: where the auction takes place? and when we may find the third round taking place? >> it is an auction that will be done electronically. no room where they are gathered. that is how the auction will work.

this drove up the price and made it so that bob iger lost out on sky in the process.is putting comcast in an interesting position. people look at cable companies -- jason: only one thing i love more than deals are media moguls. this all comes together. thank you. comcast came out as the big winner in a bidding war with disney over sky. they won the battle with a $39 billion offer in a rare three round action over there in london. carol: investors do not seem to be celebrating. we talk to our reporter. felix: the head of comcast has told the story. going into all these details of sky versus virgin and what service is better. he is thinking, my cab driver cares this much about getting this paid television, maybe we should get in there. he attributes that to his interest. he's been keeping his eye on sky, the culmination of a multiyear process. carol: he's paid a lot of money. felix: a lot of investors are not excited. jason: the stock took a major hit the first trading day after the deal. felix: they will have a hundred billion dollars of debt when this gets done. there

bid but need permission from disney to do so so in many ways while they are making the bid it is bob iger's. they've been pushing for it at fox, they like the asset at disney but i have no guidance for people when it comes to the price we may end up at and how much higher if any it will be than where we are right now. >> hollywood reporter has a great interview with iger talking about budgeting for content versus netflix, his relationship with murdoch, the way he admits he overshot on the expansion of the "star wars" franchi franchise. >> listen, the transformation of disney to a direct-to-consumer company in many ways is going to be the most significant thing that occurs executing it properly will be the thing it's judged by from the investment perspective so it is an important time as they work to close the fox deal, integrate the assets and make their final decision on sky. >> we'll see what happens. >> if they have 3% of sky and it's valued at a higher level it's still a benefit then there's the 30% of hulu that come cost owns and 1 there something they could do there as well so more to

the hollywood reporter says bob iger is the most of' powerful man in hollywood, coming in second is samanthaam only kidding. she is a woman and a pretty one. you have to choose between getting a colonoscopy and watching her show. iger had the top spot. ronan farrow also made the cut because the writers didn't want him to air their dirty laundry. this one, the aliens get deported by president trump. unlike samantha bee, the only time they hit both sides is when they are kissing nancy pelosi's tookus. the only thing samantha bee has totally destroyed is people's opinion of female comedians. i'm turning into rudy giuliani. you are right. topic number four. let's go down to duluth, georgia where police seized $15,000 worth of ecstasy pills. people say one pill will get you so high you think you are the ceo of tells la. they were concerned the drug dealers were selling them to kids. kids don't go out at night because they are playing fortnight. that's fortnight currency. the dealer is hnd behind bars. never accept an invitation to play fortnight with vladimir putin. ecstasy doesn't make him happy

bob iger who runs disney. same thing. we have a business guy, more of a celebrity business guy, in the white house. a lot of people ask jamie dimon. he says no. >> it would be nice to see the financial crisis in a debate. you take him at his word. >> i take him at his word. a lot of people around him want him to do it. >>> "early start" continues. the latest on the united states supreme court and the latest on the carolinas. >>> i feared he may inadvertently kill me. words of a woman accusing brett kavanaugh of sexual misconduct decades ago. now even some republicans want the committee vote delayed. >>> record flooding in the carolinas in the wake of florence. death toll is climbing. we are live in north carolina. >>> and would you quit your job halfway through the workday? why one nfl player says he ditched football for good at halftime on sunday. >>> rough start in buffalo

to be honest, this is an extension of a personal battle between bob iger and brian roberts.hey have been fighting it out for almost a year. disney won over the bulk of fox assets, but this is the last remaining bit that fox doesn't control all of yet that's why it was left out of the rest of the deal, and brian roberts doesn't want to get up finally they have said that's enough, you have been fighting it out for months, there's an auction and you have three rounds have at it the big winner are the murdochs. they will cash out on this they don't care at this point who wins they'll see themselves with more cash in hand than they would have at the outset >> i fwets tguess the other opt they could bow out they don't want to get into a bidding war. but if they stay in, 5:00 on saturday is the time this will be fascinating to watch. peter, always a pleasure thank you. >>> on deck on this very busy thursday, will today be the day the dow stomps out a new record high but first assessing the damage north carolina residents are returning home following hurricane florn hurricane floren

nearly twice of the ceo of disney, bob iger now, if you look at his total realized gain, value of options he exercised, total comp. since 2006 totals more than $1 billion. his big years were 2014, 2015, when he exercised options from previous years, earning $400 million in those two years some of his comp. is long term incentive awards and deferred comp.. the question is how much was already given but not exercised that he would be allowed to keep guys, back to you. >> staggering numbers, robert. thank you very much. we continue to watch shares under some pressure today. >>> as we go to break, take a look at the markets. dow had a nice 80 point gain that withered away on apple losses today, although we're looking at brief record highs for stocks like home depot as a few hurricanes get closer and closer to the eastern seaboard back in a moment no more lugging your clubs through the airport or risk having your clubs lost or damaged by the airlines. sending your own clubs ahead with shipsticks.com makes it fast & easy to get to your golf destination. with just a few clicks or a phone call we

i love watching the show and i'm not sure politics should be involved and i think it sounds like bob igerees that, what are your thoughts and politics and espn? >> i tell you what, it's very left leaning and i think politics has become involved but it's like our nike discussion yesterday. if they had not lost 30 million subscribers over the last six years but had gained 18 million you would hear none of this, none of the programming would change. i think, quite honestly, they're addressing a symptom and not the cause and the reason is because i don't think it's been political or not political but because of cord cutting. to a portion of those 30 million left because of too political? maybe but at the end of the day espn has a monopoly out there. you want to watch golf or the football or baseball but you got to tune in so maybe it's not addressing the main reason people are leaving. john: jonas, it's a fantastic and hit 1 million scrubbers to the streaming service launched in april and are they making up for the court orders with this? >> as you look at the growth it's one of the most succ

"star wars" episode nine is in production and set to be released december of 2019. >>> for the first time since christmas eve 2016 the browns are in the win column. trump has not yet taken office at the time. baker mayfield energized the offense late in the first half. even catching a two-point conversion. the browns out scoring the jets 18-3 in the second half. after a tie and a tough loss, the browns can celebrate after the 21-17 victory. >> the best part about it is we were here at home. you guys feel the energy of the crowd and how badly they wanted it as well. we have to play for each other, but at the same time, this city does deserve it. it is definitely up there for me. i've had great memories, but i'm just getting started. >> bright future for baker. following through on the free beer promise, bud light unlocked fridges at ten bars around cleveland. my assumption is it did not last long. it looked like

that pits rupert murdoch and bob iger in one corner and versus comcast and brian roberts in the other putting in a bid of close to 19 1/2 dollars. converting pounds into dollars here. cheryl: sure. you're doing ad. >> job. >> higher than fox's bid of 18.53. look how sky is trading. it is closer to $21 a piece. higher than both bids. i think market is anticipating -- cheryl: that is the adr we're looking at. >> the market is anticipating higher bids this weekend. three rounds of bidding. first round fox puts in their bid. second round comcast counterbids. this is high drama. cheryl: it really is. >> aisled envelope bidding for the right to buy sky. cheryl: 21st century fox is the parent company of the fox business network. not that we have skin in the game but this is our parent company. >> full disclosure. cheryl: but at the same time, what i think is so interesting is that sky itself is such desired property, to have these two behemoths in the media world go toe-to-toe against each other, mr. murdoch, mr. eiger and roberts. >> yeah. cheryl: i think that really speaks to how incredibl

so this basically pits bob iger and rupert murdoch in one corner defense brian roberts and comcast in the other. many analysts expect a extremely competitive bidding war this weekend. so expect to see those prices go up. how high? we don't know just yet. but that is the expectation that is going to get rather high when it comes to share bids. back to you guys. melissa: susan lee, thank you very much. david: remind me of the nfl draft. happens on a weekend. should be exciting stuff. president trump heads back to nevada looking to tip the scales for republican dean heller. this is pivotal senate race. the president is expected to leave the white house at any moment. he is a little delayed for a rally in las vegas tonight. he could stop and speak to reporters on his way out as very often does. we'll bring you those comments if he does. melissa: fingers crossed. a petition to stop nancy pelosi from getting the house speakership. the threat from one her own party. the bold action a group of rebel democrats is now pushing to prevent her from taking back control. david: the young turks on th

if you're bob iger, you've already won the fox bid, the fox deal it actually benefits you to just be thing. because then, you know,if you're comcast you're like do i need to raise my bid before anything else happens? i think sort of the uncertainty needs to play into it. whatever deal that comcast ultimately tries to make the deal play out, they could -- disney could cash out nicely >> you don't believe that there was ever any unspoken sort of understanding that comcast didn't make disney overpay for all the other -- >> so that's the other side of it >> that's not going to happen? >> there was no sort of -- the relationship between disney and comcast between bob iger and brian roberts hasn't been best so in a normal business environment, there might be let's just calm this down a little bit doing the reporting, right we want to make sure people know what's potentially going on. also the fact that the comcast bid, you know, forced diz z knee to go up by an extra $19 billion t to get fox so just pure balance sheetwise, you're saying why would they pay that much now? so comcast is more

>> is it bob iger or brian roberts? maybe it is personal. our third story is tesla.w is jeff osborne. he has an underperform rating on tesla and a price target of $200. you were a pretty busy man. it seems like every single day tesla gives you something to cover. it keeps us on our toes, you are right. david: this new revelation came out through a bloomberg report, a justice department inquiry that could involve criminal conduct. how material is that to you as an analyst? very material in terms of getting incremental byron interested in the stock. it is one more variable to prevent people from pulling the trigger. a civil andlt from criminal perspective to quantify those types of things in terms of expenses, impact to the model. just perception to investors, it's a big blow. there are two angles, the incremental buyer will not come in and shareholders will be dumping out for the long term. our colleague grown a great piece yesterday saying the inquiry could lead to all sorts of speculative outcomes. what cannot be in doubt is it is ,ooted in self-inflicted crisis fro

david: bob iger. there was a rumor he was considering. not sure if it is true.t is a good point, you have money, this opens the door. there could be a long line of people who want to run in the race. >> the question will be will they really do it, why back off when they feel the heat coming at them? david: a lot of heat. thank you, great to have you. command, benioff expanding his interests. his one had a $90 million purchase of time magazine is what i am watching. alix: and check out tv , watch us online, interact with us directly. go right to the bloomberg terminal. this is bloomberg. david: ok, this is what i'm watching. marc benioff made his big move, imitating jeff bezos, says he will by time magazine. just the same way jeff bezos purchased -- it has a circulation of 2 million. it has come down. now compared with the washington post, jeff bezos paid to it a $50 million for that and has a paid its objection of about 400,000. alix: it also raises the question we had about that, if you have a lot of money and you do not want to get into politics, you have

the millennials and genz are the two greatest for inclusion i have ever seen >> bob iger was at the eventt disney if they have a man and woman coming into new jobs even if the woman has far less experience, they're paying her the same as the man coming into the job with more experience because they want to overcome that disparity. starbucks is doing some big things on looking at pay parity. they're going to make their process available to companies across the world for free so that other companies can take the world for free so other companies can take advantage of what they've learned and caesars has invested millions studying pay parity 98% pay parity across the board. set some examples for other companies and other industries >> so iger said they're paying equally to women and men in the same job even if the experience is different to make up for past inequities >> and he was challenged in an interview at this event last night about things like movie roles, that we hear about actors having different pay for similarly important roles. and he said but we're trying to overcome that by rec

. >> i know you don't cover disney everybody is looking long-term bob iger, brian roberts, randall stephenson time warner. who is in the best shape to compete with netflix >> i think they're all in better shape than they were and these bigger behemoth are trying to use their balance sheet top position themselves longer term. it's clear that all these companies now want to go direct to consumer. they want to pooush an over-the-top platform. comcast provides additional capabilities on that front to use those technologies to address the u.s. market on that front. no question at&t is making a big bet. we'll see more on the hbo turner content swrooide as we exit thi year and disney has announced plans, too, so netflix has kicked all these guys into action and ultimately that will benefit consumers and having that bigger bundle is important for these media companies. >> thank you both. >> thanks for having me. >> is big news in media and of course big news in cloud today john ford is live from the company's ignite conference in orlando, florida good morning, john. >> good morning, carl. in less tha

david: my point was going to be bob iger does not have as much leverage because it will be more affordable him to buy that fox. either that or swap it out for hulu. alix: we are not been talking about this. coming up, the return of $100 oil. is that the reality? spreads climbing after opec and urgency.seek less this is bloomberg. ♪ this isn't just any moving day. this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store today. alix: this is bloomberg daybreak. i am alix steel. last week it was about the risk rally, did you want to buy into it or was it a tactical trade? futures down by 37 points. european stocks also lower and the dax lower, as well. in other asset classes, it gets pretty intere

this basically pits bob iger and rupert murdoch against brian roberts and comcast and the other.ve bidding war this weekend. fox willing to possibly up that bid in order to gain control, and people are reminded of 1988, remember rjr nabisco and the relatively unknown private equity group back in the day? neil: you weren't even born. okay, susan, thank you very much. susan li. you probably know by now if you watch tv or follow the president's tweets he is not a fan of "saturday night live." neither was or is chevy chase. the show has gone down hill since he left and saying anything about the geniuses that came after him. like this next fellow, former "snl" cast mate, joe piscopo. joe! what do you think? judge napolitano, he's my buddy. neil: i was going to ask but the judge thing now. on this, what do you make of that? he's saying it's all a disaster. >> you didn't get my distraction, can we talk about the judge? what is the source? that's the one thing i learned from being on the radio, learn where the source is coming from and is it fake news or not. neil: chevy chase talking to

was the highest paid media exec and the second highest and that was twice the salary of disney's bob iger00 for personal security and 2$270,000 and earning an average of $55 million a year. now, if you look at his total realized gains, that's stock and the value of options he exercised, that comes to $1 billion since 2006 his big years were 2014, 2015 when he exercised options from previous years earning $400 million from those two years alone. some of his comp is options and deford the question is, how much of his compensation from previous years already given to him will still be his after the exit? i'm sure that is something they're talking about because he's saying, look, this is not a going forward pay. we are talking about stuff that was given to me two or three years ago and i should get that. they don't want the headline risk no matter what happened >> how common is it for a nonfounder to have that kind of wealth tied to his stock exercise grants? i remember united health and magui maguire. >> i believe was the first nonfounder billionaire but it's a handful only a handful of nonf

have >> i think you're right that brian roberts has more leverage right now over that deal than bob igers earlier point? this a question we've kicked around for a couple months here. just the idea that strategically it may not have been what brian set out to do, but by forcing them to pay ore, it hobbled them on how much they could pay for sky. >> roberts has other things, weaknesses he has to deal with one is eroding cable his money in revenue, most of it comes from cable here and he's been very strong but he's eroding as people go to skinny bundles and netflix >> they're getting more expensive. >> but a lot of young people don't go to a bundle at all. >> and the broadband stuff is strong too >> netflix has 150 million customers around the world that's a big deal. >> hulu loses so much money at this point >> and has only 20 million customers. right? >> what do you think, you know, craig moffett was on the program in the last hour and talked about this idea to make the sky transaction work, comcast long-term is going to have to build or create its own version of a netflix or a hulu some

. >>> disney chief bob iger talking about the "star wars" franchise.od reporter" they did too much too fast. fans can expect some slowdown for the "star wars" franchise. what do you think of that? >> they are -- stuart: i thought it was a big winner. >> it is. last movie, seeing this decline. hard to imagine a movie that did 350, 400 million is considered to be a failure but he is recognizing this has been a franchise been going on and on and the big issue is creating new content. susan: bad reviews. >> a lot of new content is coming online. when you have netflix and amazon, with new content, the old franchises do get some competition. i think it is, i think it's a good idea to scale back but i don't think it's a good idea to eliminate this iconic franchise. stuart: they didn't get good reviews. susan: no, han solo was terrible. that is my opinion. marvel black panther franchise. it will be a multimillion-dollar franchise. they went too far with the "star wars" it is human nature. stuart: it is historic day. time is limited on history making days. zika
