not everyone is bob kraft rich. but some of us plan to be. i know you have a billion dollar idea percolating in your brain. why should uncle sam burden your business and steal what is rightfully yours. i realize those two concepts add up to a naughty libertarian fetish. just because an idea is that sexy doesn't mean it should be shamed by statists. i'm kennedy. will the president's plan for tax reform actually work or can it be improved? i will welcome ohio congressman jim jordan. let's talk about this. i think the president's heart was in the right place when he spoke in your home state last night talking about tax cuts which will improve the economy. i get worried when he starts talking about raising taxes on the rich. it sounds like a new form of revenue neutrality. >> that's a fancy way or washington way of saying the tax burden stays the same. we just shift around who pays what. typically middle class families get the shaft. so that's not what we are for. let's lower rates for everyone. let's let families keep more of their money and bri

kraft. emily chang joins us with more. emily: thanks. bob and bobby, thank you for joining us.have you today. bobby, is is being touted as the next nfl, compared to the premier league of the future. what is your vision for this? is that for real? >> yeah, that is our vision for how we are to celebrate and reward our players, build a league that is like the nfl, only global. it may take sometime, but what will make it easy is having great partners like robert kraft. emily: bob, do you think this can become that -- with celery caps, trade, and the other stuff with it? along -- with salary caps? >> we love the infrastructure that bobby has set up at activision blizzard. we have looked at a lot of with? -- with salary caps? >> the league to watch with having 30 point. players at this this evolution really appeals to us. the concept of having a team in the new england region, we know we have an infrastructure that we can do a great job with the development of that. being part of something that can be globalized is very, very relevant to us. emily: i want to talk a little bit about t

white house tells me the president is having dinner with bob kraft. >> chris: maybe he can get back kraft's super bowl ring from vladimir putin. o.j. simpson, the football star who gained infamy during the trial for the murder of his ex-wife and her friend will soon be a free man. even though he was acquitted of the murder charges, simpson has spent the last nine years in prison for different crime. claudia cowan reports from simpson's parole board hearing in carson city, nevada. >> mr. simpson, i.e. grant parole. >> o.j. simpson will soon be a free man. >> i've done my time. i've done it as well and as respectively. >> four parole commissioners agreed that under provisions outlined by nevada law, he has served enough of a nine to 33 year sentence for his role in orchestrating a 2007 robbery. >> are you humbled by this incarceration? >> yes. i take full responsibility. i should have never allowed these alleged security guys to help me because they were only trying to help themselves. >> simpson got a chance to explain what happened at the palace station casino, rambling at times, said he wa

plus, e-sports draws major investors including new england patriots owner bob kraft.omberg. ♪ emily: back to my interview with dick costolo. in the second part of our conversation we discussed tech's ongoing gender problems amongst a string of sexual harassment allegations in the rising criticism of bro culture in cities -- silicon valley. dick: i do get it is probably, actually maybe understated and underreported. it's probably way worse than we have seen so far. i think that again, to be blunt about it, i think in a lot of cases the investors in some of these venture firms are simply ignoring it and paying lip service to it but ignoring it , and funding some of these enterprises anyway. it is widely understood some of these issues were things that had been said in the background and yet new funds were raised and on and on and on. i think until the capital being committed by these lp's to these venture funds take it seriously and invest more directly in women running these firms and maybe gender specific funds or people of color funds, you will continue to see lip se

that's why bob kraft, the opener of the patriots, the football team's, here. cable is a big business. so basically what he said is this, despite the notion that we've been reporting that jorge mass, the miami billionaire, is in the lead and probably closing in on getting the deal, mr. manfred, the commissioner of baseball, says there's actually three bidders till in the race, and those three bidders are the jorge mass group, the derek jeter group, former yankee all-star and soon to be, i guess, hall of famer, and the tag romney group, tag romney, hedge fund manager, son of mitt romney. that's what he's saying all the way out here in idaho. liz: that is a major. a lot of people thought it was narrowed down, and you got it from the horse's mouth. charlie, has there been a jared and ivanka sighting? >> we saw them. it was weird, i was stuffing my face, and i saw jared -- [laughter] i saw ca, and the picture's in the new york post, because i was right there when she was walking. i saw ivanka and ken land gone, the financier -- liz: oh, yeah. >> walking right by me

you had bob kraft and bill belichick standing by their man. he's the key manst team.tter whether he did it or not, they were going to support their investment into tom brady and their relationship with him. why isn't the same being done for katrina? and in particular, if the most successful female entrepreneur is in this country, is subject to this behavior by one of the top firms who, you know this year was louded as being the first investor in snap, then this is going to happen to everyone and i think that it's contingent upon light speed to take 5:00 right now to show not only that they are apologizing to katrina but that it's a full maya cull pash pa and the entire nds is removed and we can move forward as an industry. >> it's not just silicon valley, of course. we've had high profile instances of this in politics and media for years. i just wonder to play devil's advocate for a minute, how much of these episodes do you believe honestly come from dumb mistakes, miscommunication, people being raised in different environments, not being able to communicate well, tho

not everyone is donald trump or bob kraft rich. you should bring everybody's rates down but also cut spending. that's the message that really needs to be embraced here. the government doesn't have a problem bringing in enough money. there's plenty of income. the problem is they spend way too much of it. the markets will improve if everyone gets a tax cut. that's what we've been promised. with the president sort of tinkering with his message, he makes it more confusing at a time when we need clarity and simplicity. >> neil: we didn't get that clarity, gary, because we're not sure whether the president meant from existing levels now or from his revised plan that calls for bringing the rate down from 35%. i raise it only to say that president bush was saying this, everybody gets a tax cut when he proposed a tax cut. ronald reagan everybody got a tax cut across the board. others make it meaningful and substantial and you'll get a meaningful substantial result. if the president is dialling back on that and hearing from senators, good ma

we look at owners like robert kraft and important constituents, and we need to provide a financial return as quickly as we can. isly: bobfee $20 million over time. how much will it cost to operate a team in addition to that? gottenwe have not really into the details of the operating costs. when you look at the way we structure the league, the operating costs should be lower than what you would see another traditional sports. emily: let's talk about the future of e-sports. e-sports on television still has not been a great success. bob, why do you think you can get there? robert: we are looking at what is going on with sports generally, in the millennial's and how they consume product on a mobile device. but also how they don't watch traditional sports products the way our generations did. you can see how much time is invested in playing these games and how they can connect with a global audience while doing it. it is unheard of to us 10-15 years ago. we believe this is the future. we think the infrastructure that bobby has set up with something that the investment he made in this league is something that was very appeali
