over the past 15 years, it's been on an acquisitions spree under the leadership of bob iger. nimation off steve jobs, lucasfilm off star wars creator george lucas, and last year, in one of the biggest deals in media history, 21st century fox from rupert murdoch. why do you think rupert murdoch wanted to sell? well, i think the primary reason is that he looked at what was going on in the world of media and all the disruption and he didn't believe that the hand that they had was as strong as it needed to be. it's that simple. and he didn't have a solution. but what are the underlying trends reshaping the media industry which make those mega—acquisitions necessary? well, i think if you look at today's media landscape, whether you are in the uk or the united states or in many other places in the world, first of all it starts with content. content is king. quality stands really tall in a sea of choice. and then secondly, get content that is so valuable, so important, so loved by consumers, that they'll access it or buy it almost any way they possibly can. it was rival netflix that

apparently, harry was caught on tape talking to bob iger, head of disney, begging him to give his wifemarkle voice-over work? is it true? >> that is the absolute lowest point of a monarchy in the last hundred years. i think of all the pathetic things that the duke of windsor did after he entertained, abdicated the throne where he entertained wealthy americans and give them a sort of pseudo-glimpse into royal life, nothing like actually counting your wife available for "lion king 7" or whatever it is. that said, tucker, i would love to see any of the useless media interviewers subject or what go back you were talking about, hunter biden or chelsea clinton to the kind of interviews that prince andrew had to sit through at the bbc or in fact the kind of press criticism that the duchess of sussex is getting in the papers today. you mentioned that the powerless chelsea clinton made 9 million bucks for doing nothing. the royal canadian mounted police are going to have to pick up a half-million dollar tab for harry and meghan security cost in canada. people are already beginning to chafe that

if you look at there video, former prince harry talking to bob iger of disney. know she does voiceovers. really? did you know you seem surprised? she's interested. iger said sure, we would love to try. >> yeah, i think -- obviously she has some kind of future in hollywood. i think this is really about the press. the royal couple and their soon-to-be abdication furious with the way they're covered by the british tabloids. harry put out an emotional statement when they sued a couple of those london papers saying i lost my mother and now the same forces are at work on my wife. i think that they are trying to declare independence. it's ironic that it's all playing out in the press because that's what i think is at issue here, not the way who is getting along with whom in buckingham palace. >> dana: be interesting to see if they participate with the press as they try to have an independent life. >> they want their own press coverage. they said the royal press respondents are involved in covering up. this is all about crafting the right image. it's a gossipy story. ev

kind of touch the customer in a multipronged way you know u, it's funny we're just talking about bob igerore the cameras started rolling. i've always looked at disney as a company with all these incredible lines of business coming out of the content. obviously we're much different, much, much smaller but i always like to disney as my north star of content as the driver of an important and impactful business >> as you grow the business, what's your plan are you looking to sell it do you want to take it public. >> are you buying? >> almost two years ago, your valuation was $250 million so what's the big picture plan here >> i'm really focused on getting it to scale. this is really i think 2020 is really our year of optimizing. we have incredible audience that comes. i think it's really about conversion about honing how we do things from a digital product perspective. and you know we have a lot of way before we get it to scale so i'm not thinking b about selling it yet goop has not been without controversy. over the years, you had a settlement you have doctors criticizing you for the way you

there was that video released of them in conversation with bob iger. what do they want to do? what do we know of what this couple wants to do now that they moved their lives as you've said for most of the year to north america? >> yeah, i mean, i don't think we fully know. i do think that that conversation that we effectively overheard because the cameras were there between prince harry and bob iger was pretty incredible to see prince harry effectively pitching for his wife for voiceover work. obviously that voiceover work, the money from that went to charity, but that moment gives you a picture of what will worry the royal family. being a commercial entity if you like, your own private money can be messy. it can be not very royal, and so that is a danger that harry and meghan now face. i think it's important to repeat what the palace has said, which is that harry and meghan plan to uphold the values of her majesty. the question is what does that exactly mean, and when does a deal or a piece of acting work, in meghan's case or perhaps a partnership with a fashion brand, or may

we know harry has been pitching his wife for voice over work for disney and bob iger and a disney directorhe big issue is earning money but not using the monarchy for financial gain. it is complex. for instance the duke and duchess's royal brand which they tray marked last year is not likely to be a stream of income because the couple is trading of course on their royal credentials and that could have produced a lot of money. even the cottage the queen behave to them as a marriage, a wedding present will be subject to rent we understand the couple will pay. but other expenses, not so clear especially the cost of security for them which is pretty large. another question being asked, now, is whether harry could ever go back to his old life, like none of this ever happened? in principle he could but seems very unlikely, charles, he would ever be in the same new role. a brave new world and we'll see how much money can generate, how much cachet being a member of the royal family is. charles: looks like they got caught flat-footed and the queen called their both. >> i think so. charles: see you

he already has done it to bob iger, ceo of disney. he has got the director.he hollywood agent thing very, very well. deirdre: supporting his wife. >> why not? he will still get millions from his father prince charles. there is no indication that will stop. so you know, yes, financially independent to a point. deirdre: they will figure it out. ash, quickly, reports are that prince andrew has been a rock for the queen. obviously stepped away from the public eye due to his connection with disgraced financeer jeffrey epstein. honestly in that context, is he the best person to be seen sport supporting the queen? >> he is in disgrace. he has been pushed out of the public eye as far as royals concern, but the royal that has most time on his hands. look, he is actually, has been the queen's favorite son. he is 59 years old. he is skulking around in the background now. why not take time. at least try to be a shoulder to lean on for his mother who had a pretty rough time of it. the last year has not been great. the prince, of course, her husband, the duke, had a car cr

harry caught on camera telling bob iger, quote, you know, she does do voiceovers.tflix up more than 5% sense january 1st. connell, you know, the obamas were already basically streaming royalty nowadays, do you think harry and meghan could be? >> at some point we'll reach peek netflix. [laughter] liz: they're really desperate. connell: that's what i'm saying, that'll be the sign. that's when we know we've reached. i'm sure they'll do well, and you know what? we wish them well because there's worse people in the world, right? coming up next hour on "after the bell," we will -- well, we won't have a bell to ring, right? we'll focus on other things. one of the things investors will have to start handicapping is the 2020 race, what's going to happen in starts that out. elizabeth warren and pete buttigieg both are in iowa. we'll talk about them, bernie sanders, the senators that are going to be off the playing field, so to speak, with the impeachment trial running in washington for however long and whether that gives buttigieg, maybe joe biden a little bit of an advantag

show harry at the "lion king" over the summer trying to get voice over work for as he chats with bob iger overs, and she is interested. iger says we are interested. proceeds for her work will go to charity that protect elephants from poaching this issue continues to fascinate and divide the british public. people argue that the press has been unfair to megan. there have been racist overtones in the reporting. others have a different point of view and believe that the british royal family and the public welcomed megan with open arms. they are quite shocked to see after the lavish royal wedding, after a short period of time she appears to be together with harry making a bolt westward. it will be important, this discussion, this summit tomorrow to see what the details of an arrangement could be. this will also, arthel, be setting precedent for royals in the future. arthel? arthel: indeed, amy kellogg. thank you, amy. eric: you know dogs may be man's best friend but for a long time mail carriers seemed to be the exception to that rule until now. coming up next, have you seen the great picture

the history, roy disney and bob iger all the rest. but abigail disney supports this.ou respond to it, they basically say, change the inend senttives. they want to incentivize corporations not to pay ceos exorbitant amount of money. what do you say? >> incentivizing it is a massive tax increase. california as 8.8% corporate income tax on top of the 21% national federal tax. they want to take that up to 11 to 15%. so it is a massive tax increase to start with. but then they go, oh, we'll hit you even more if you don't pay people the way we want you to. boards of directors are responsible and shareholders are responsible for firing any ceo who overpays himself or herself. it shouldn't be the government's decision to -- sometimes somebodies as ceo could be worth a lot of money, sometimes not. connell: right. >> certainly if they're losing money probably a good idea to change them out for somebody else. the reason we got into the question of high pay, back in the '70s and '80s, people were mad that people were making couple hundred thousand dollars in a year where the busi

this footage has emerged of prince harry talking with bob iger, the chief executive of disney, at ant year. he's caught on camera outlining meghan markle‘s availability for voice over work. the duchess has subsequently agreed to a deal, with disney making a donation to charity. dan wootton is the sun newspaper's executive editor — he first broke the story about the pair wanting to step back from royal life. what harry and meghan want, harry and meghan get, this is exactly what they hoped for. there is a commitment it seems from the monarch that they will remain members of the royal family and they will be allowed to live in canada and by all accounts is what we can read into this statement seek commercial deals. and that is something that for a long time members of the royal family, senior members of the royal family were deeply against, so it does feel like harry and meghan have got their desired outcome from this meeting today. guidelines for working royals were outlined in 2001, after prince edward's wife sophie was accused of cashing in on her status. they must consult the lord c

his business heroes were, he cited mark parker first among them, johnnyize, tim cook of apple and bob iger one of the ways they formed this relationship besides design, which i don't think is getting talked about as much, was the preach to china. as the nba became more global and more digital, kobe was out front. he famously learned mandarin his sneakers sold very well over there. in fact, in the 2008 olympics, lebron said, i thought i was famous nothing like kobe here in china. south post says in kobe they lost a kindred spirit who really had a curiosity and an interest in the chinese culture that went far beyond the commercial relationship a big part of that nike relationship with kobe as well >> there's no doubt. the news of his death is a global story, not just one here in north america our thoughts are with all the families involved in this tragic accident "squawk alley" will be right back how's the it department liking the now platform? every time it takes care of something for us, we celebrate. how often does that... got it. servicenow -the smarter way to workflow. woi felt complete

billion deal it was all stocked 2.3 shares of disney at the time pixar's ceo was steve jobs and bob igert the helm of disney i spoke with them both that day after the deal had been announced. >> we're convinced that bob really understands pixar, and we think we have some appreciation of disney and love the assets, getting the characters in the theme parks and express them throughout all of disney's incredible assets. >> the most important thing for the company to do is to create high quality condition dent and within that sort of strategic imperative is to make sure that animation is healthy at the company. for animation to get right at disney, i felt strongly about bringing pixar in and that was the reasoning behind it. >> if you read iger's book, he spends a good deal of time talking about how he wooed jobs, how they became very close as well and became or got to a shared division of pixar and disney there are a lot of investors you're paying awfully high price for this thing, in retrospect of course that was not an argument worth making >> there were a lot of things that happened made

>> i think everyone in hollywood expected disney to succeed and it's hard to bet against bob iger, who leaders in all of media and the stock market in general in companies all over the world, and the disney brand is undeniable and then with the acquisition of fox entertainment and those assets, they have so much library content and the ability to draw on the ip to do new shows, and i think their interface is great and you feel safe as a parent because you trust the disney brand. >> given that and the library, are you expecting similarly big things for nbc's peacock streaming service? >> well, we'll see how they roll it out and how many originals they have to go along with their other content. they have dreamworks and other libraries like illumination, but not the same scale that disney has or brand recognition as the producer of the office, i need and want peacock to be super vibrant and successful and i think it will be interesting to watch as they roll out and what their model will end up being, or if the model is a model that the consumer really wants, too. >> ben, we've had a lot o

fact, you see this, prince harry was caught on an open mic pitching meghan's voice-over work to bob igerne for charity, done for an elephant charity. lee, what do you make of all this? >> it obviously was in the making for quite some time. it wasn't like it just happened one day. they have been thoughtful about it. the royal family is playing catch-up. i think prince william's statement, where he said i can't put my arm around brother harry anymore and a i'm sad about that, i thought it was a good response. this is very warm. you can feel for the family. prince harry is saying i'm walking away from my family, not walking away from a job. dagen: in the meeting, they're going to try to iron out multiple things including the titles that the pair will have, the amount of money that they will get every year, and i guess meghan markle could hold a tell-all interview over the head of the queen. again, everybody is siding with the queen in this, i think. turning to the nfl playoffs, this is what i did all weekend. it was the 49ers over the vikings, 27-10, the tightens biting the ray jens, 28-12,

okay iger -- >> bob iger -- >> here's my point difficulties they was up 30.9% from january 2nd this isast up 32% what is that gees, okay so tied let's call it. discovery, do we talk about zaslov and discovery >> zaslov does a great job, too. >> discovery was up 32.3%. at&t up 37%. that's kind of -- >> specific. a stock with a good dividend >> it was hurt in 2018 obviously. >> i think the credit that you're sort of wondering about -- >> he's a great executive. we should mention other people as well. it shouldn't be aldil disney, a iger all the time. >> he is mentioned in the context he took this well established, well run media company doing it in sort of the traditional way and decided, you know what, we're going to scrap this thing the way we've been doing it, which is linear television, and we're going to go all-in on streaming which has lower to no margins in a lot of cases. he actually told wall street, look, don't expect profits from the next 35 years. this is hopefully where we'll get. so after day one, they actually released some numbers, 10 million new sign-ups in the first day

it seems to show prince harry soliciting voice-over work from disease had bob iger. set all along that sussex wants to be financially independent, but it is a tricky issue, being half in and half out of the royal family. whatever they do commercially will have to be okay with the queen and the other senior oils. these are the details being hammered out today. there have been threats that if they don't get their way, the sussexs can go forward with a no-holds-barred her interview out. hoping it won't happen. see the queen will make harry an offer he can't refuse, so we will see. amy kellogg in london for us. >> bill: i'm watching this story! >> sandra: that lends everywhere, it's hard to keep up. >> bill: the story seems obvious, but it is so rare when it really is the case. none of us are privy to it. >> sandra: we will continue this conversation in the commercial break. >> bill: fox news alert, iran cracking down on antigovernment protesters. the president has a warning. a red is mac thornberry. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran ma

lauren: bob iger as the ceo. >> yes. lauren: all eyes on the pies for the new year.he massive new year's crowds, charging $30 for a pie. all right. i mean, i thought that was -- >> i can't understand how it happened. i don't see how they do it. these people cordoned off from 6:00 p.m. on, no one can get in or out. how in the world -- they deserve to charge $30 to deliver a pizza. hillaryaapizza. lauren: john shatner pledging to eat 50 pizzas in 30 days, that's his new year's resolution, aiming to beat the previous records which was 40 pizzas a month. >> that's just a remarkable thing. because i'm an analyst, i want them to say what kind of pizza. is it just plain cheese because then it's not that impressive. but whatever. lauren: vegan version. >> he should do a rolaids commercial after that. lauren: perfect. if you're unhappy with your holiday gift, return them. today is the peak day to send those gifts back to the store. we'll have more on that in the mention hour on "mornings with maria." ♪ wonderland. ♪ dance. ♪ boogie wonderland. ♪ ♪ everything your trip needs,

remember she criticized essentially her pham aless company ceo, bob iger, his 66 million-dollar pay packagealary but if you look at wealth on people other side of fence if you bought disney when he became ceo, you're up 444%. you cannot compare a ceo salary to somebody taking tickets at a theme park. there is a lot of strong opinions on both sides. by the way this bill in california is up for vote. she is clearly backing, lowering ceo pay -- stuart: guarranty it will pass. it is california. they never seen a tax or restriction they don't like. all the time. deirdre: i feel like that, that entertainment industry -- stuart: do you have any doubts deirdre: yes i do. i have doubts. the entertainment industry employs a lot of people. it is very successful. this quite frankly when you look at arguments is not logical. stuart: they would love the ceo reined in, wick asked capitalists. deirdre: you move them out-of-state. stuart: used to be the golden state, not anymore. i rant on this stuff because it drives me nuts. the president signed a landmark trade agreement, you wouldn't know that if you wa

bob iger at disney earned 75 million in 2018, 1400 times than the average worker that he oversees.tly what that works out to because they didn't give the formula. this is being proposed in california, come out of committee. it will go to the senate by the end of the month. guess who is behind this really pushing hard for this is abigail aris, who says people shouldn't have to go to the food bank while working at the happiest place on earth. stuart: we hear that. another beauty, that's what the script says, another beauty from california's governor newsom. he's considering reducing traffic fines for low income drivers. our guest is here with us from los angeles. all right, how little do you have to make before you get the break? >> sit on your bum and you don't have to pay half of your ticket. the magic number, stuart, good morning to you, $27,000 a year or less. if that is your salary, or you just do nothing in life, if you get a ticket, don't worry about it. it's only half. so for everybody else, we'll be paying the full price. as you go past us on the freeway, driving like a mani

>> we have some video of harry, pitching bob iger, the president of disney for his wife to get a voiceovermore of that this time with a director at the same event. take a listen. >> [inaudible]. unfortunately, that's the wrong one because the director who basically does the same thing. you seem surprised there. again, an awkward moment pitching his wife for a voiceover role. we know meghan markle got to sign on for some sort of project for disney, we don't know what. but it doesn't look good. a good friend mark stein called it the lowest point in the monarchy in 100 years. stuart: not sure i would go that far but it is a low point. that's ash. the markets are closed. yes, they are. we are open. yes, we are. we are continuing our celebration of ten years on the air, this show. coming up, we will take a trip down memory lane with a market watcher. we will be back. at fidelity, online u.s. stocks and etfs are commission-free. and when you open a new brokerage account, your cash is automatically invested at a great rate. that's why fidelity leads the industry in value while our competition con
