and collin kaepernick was successful in doing so. what donald trump has done is try to make this about pay triotism and try to create identity politics when it comes to this specific issue but also the culture wars. don, what i think is also very, very important to note is that we haven't seen president trump in the eight plus months in office create a whole lot of al lies on saturday i remarked when you make enemies you have no al lies left. on saturday the owner of the patriots came out and was critical of him. tom brady came out this morning on a boston radio station and said he was disappointed in the president. so what we've seen from the president in eight and a half months is not only our foreign allies but here at home, he's alienating everyone. >> there's so much with what you said. he's not building bridges politically among americans who may or may not vote for him next time, which he's supposed to did as president. but he's also not building bridges among his friends, supporters. and when you start to lose supporters in t

he did it in the campaign sin ga ling out collin kaepernick. >> this is much tougher than football. and the other reason is kaepernick. >> reporter: it's also not the first time the president has been accused of dividing america over race. from charlottesville. >> you had some very bad people in that group. but you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. you had people -- sir, there are no fine people in the nasi's. >> reporter: to questioning whether obama was born in the u.s. >> they make these birtherism into what it is, why doesn't he show his birth certificate. >> reporter: with north korea stairing down the u.s., the white house says the president has his priorities in order. >> the president is capable of doing more than one thing at a time and one thing in a day. >> scott lucas joins me now. he is a professor of international politics in england. thanks for being with us. president trump didn't expect to see imagines of nfl players linking arms with owners, how significant is this moment where politics and sports collide? >> well, i think it's an important s

collin kaepernick is very articulate when he wants to talk about why he did it. but the other men protesting now are able to articulate now, they're in the group dynamic and the president is right, he brought us progress. the progress is make your point before it starts and then respect the anthem. that's progress. >> no, it's not progress. >> why isn't it progress? >> the progress is these men have a point and they have a first amendment right to do this. we may not agree with it, we may not understand it. why don't we try to understand it instead of demonizing it. >> i don't think you have to demonize. >> that's what he's doing calling someone a son of a bitch -- >> can i jump in? the military cannot be the exclusive domain or priority for democracy. only in a fascist state does the military define what democracy is, its citizens do. with all due respect to the military you are not the lit must test to what is american. you prevent disaster from coming to the country and we appreciate it. you do not have a copy right on what freedom and justice look like. >> i

to the business side of washington, you represent san francisco, the golden state warriors, collin kaepernickknow this is more high topic of mind in your district, i imagine i know where you are on the president's comments on this. what would you like him to do if you think he would do it? >> i would like him to do what he said he would do when he ran and was inaugurated to bring people together. he should see this as an opportunity. somebody doing what he did like kaepernick, he said this flag enables me to do this, the anthem enables me to do this, it is about freedom of expression instead of what he is doing now. i think he is ill advised if advised at all. sports are always been a great unifier. sports and the arts bring america together. we put our differences aside. let's not have the president of the united states do anything but bring people together. >> do you see the political strategy in this? >> well, the -- you gave a lis of the examples of how the president has been explosive of certain divisions in our country when it it comes to race. i hope that he would not transition from t

ray rice -- >> collin kaepernick. >> that's right. just last week i wrote a page on us sa today and i said in the wake of donald trump's dreadful response to charlottesville. and i used that term. so i think there are many, many ways for sports journalists to deal with the issues in our culture that include whether it's the president, whether it be issues of domestic violence, drugs, role models in our society, whatever it might be. so i think it is absolutely imperative for sports journalists in the this century to talk about these things. >> and i have no problem it that. i think what you're doing there is dealing with issues on the field with collin kaepernick, maybe issues involved in the actual game and people playing the game. i can't believe i'm actually defending collin kaepernick, but at least kaepernick's protest was obviously involving the sports arena. of course it's okay to talk about thatch misthewise a tweet because literally you hate the president of the united states of america -- >> it's not about hatred of the presi

these individuals, a person like collin kaepernick wants to be treated as a fair individual. prejudged. doesn't want people to look at him and stereotype him. he should give the same respect to law enforcement is that we're individual people. we are people like anyone else. we go out and do a job and work hard. i will tell you what, we are just as disgusted as anybody else regarding those bad apples. rob: stereotyping, yo like i said 99% of you guys are doing a helhell of a job. heather: national anthem protests sweeping the nfl are now taking swernt stage in louisiana. a school district advising principals to follow president trump's lead to put a stop to kneeling during the anthem. carley shimkus is here now with how one high school is putting its foot down. >> good morning heather and rob. the school district? louisiana is taking a bold stance on this whole issue. the principal of parkway hospital way len base says he will kick kids off of sports teams if they don't stand while the theme is played. failure to the american civil liberties union claiming enforcing these rule

because he'd mentioned back in january, 2016, some stuff about collin kaepernick and how he viewed kaepernick's taking a knee during the anthem. and that was why one of the reasons why he went there at that campaign, during that campaign stop. there was no real overarching strategy to it. fast forward to monday night he was with a group of conservatives at the white house and he was essentially asking folks in the room what did you think? how did i do? and his response i'm told was that i think that really caught on, i think it did well for him. and that's one of the reasons why we've seen since friday 24 tweets about the nfl as compared to just about 5 tweets about puerto rico. if the president, as you of course heard, saying he's not, you know, obsessed with one over the other, but of course his twitter feed would suggest otherwise. >> also tonight here in new york this fundraising event at the restaurant le cirque, apparently the highest bracket donation was a quarter of a million dollars per couple to get access at the president's table. we don't know about any remarks made in the room beca

so what collin kaepernick did about a year ago was to give a knee because of that.ot conflate the two here. and that's the issue that i have with that poll there. i think the question is very, very broad. and it doesn't talk about the nuances of what this really is. and what we've done is as i said before, we have fallen to the trap where the president has made this about the national anthem. it is not about the national anthem. >> once again, attention moving away from perhaps where it should be. robert and christy, thank you. >>> thank you. >> the truth about the president's new tax plan, it's a big win for the wealthy, but what about the middle class? we'll break down the facts next. discover card. i'm not a customer, but i'm calling about that credit scorecard. give it. sure! it's free for everyone. oh! well that's nice! and checking your score won't hurt your credit. oh! i'm so proud of you. well thank you. free at at discover.com/creditscorecard, even if you're not a customer. and the wolf huffed like you do sometimes, grandpa? well, when you have copd, it can

collin kaepernick started if protest last year as a statement against police treatment. >> for people to disrespect that by kneeling during the national anthem i think is disrespectful. >> president trump had called on nfl team owners to fire any player who kneeled. but a reuters poll shows a majority of people disagreeing with the president. 57% of all adults polled say players who kneel during the anthem should not be fired. the president does have support from his own party though. the poll showed that while 82% of democrats disagreed with the president, only 29% of republicans disagreed. more than 200 nfl players and owners showed some form of decent during the games over the weekend in which has now become a national dialogue over politics and sports. jana k atsuyama, ktvu2. >>> the defeat is a blow against president trump. tonight the president appeared to take that defeat in stride on twitter congratulating moore and telling strange he ran a good race. in his victory speech, moore indicated he has no hard feelings toward the president. >> don't let anybody in the press think th

this has transformed into collin kaepernick and others.the flag. what they are protesting is social injustice and that's what's important. brian: wenty, that would be very interesting and could be 100 percent true you can't separate people's image of taking a knee in front of the flag with i'm not protesting the flag. don't you see that image? >> no, i don't. because we can walk and chew gum at the same time. it's not a binary decision. can you protest the flag. and the other respect can you say actually no, we are not protesting the flag, we are protesting social injustice. it's not one or the other. brian: you just went over the debate. show of hands right now how many people think you can separate the method of protest with what they're protesting? how many people by show of hands yes, i can separate the kneeling from the lack of patriotism? so three of you. how many can't? how many show of hands think there is a racial issue in this country and needs to be addressed? everybody. >> there are issues of racism. listen, we are not a perfec

he didn't name names, but collin kaepernick first refused to rise last season because he says the country oppresses minorities. the president took the stage in alabama tonight to support senator luther strange in next week's republican run off. but veronica de la cruz shows us he also took aim at senator mccain. >> yes, the arizona republican likely dealt a death bl caowre expressing opposition to the legislation. in a statement he said quote i cannot in good consideration vote for the graham-cassidy proposal. i believe we could do better working together, republicans and democrats. >> now john mccain, john mccain's list, he was not on the list, so that was a totally unexpected ibg thibte n joins republican senator paul of kentucky in opposition. gop leaders can't afford to lose another vote. republicans have until september 30th to pass the bill with a simple majority, and after that they'd need 60 votes. veronica de la kp , uzcr5. >> senator sanders was in los angeles today. he slammed the gop health plan and tried to sell his vision for universal coverage. >> we're not grog to let you

yeah, i thought that it was about protest and police violence that is how it got started with collin kaepernickthink about it, last year there were 16 white police officers, shootings of black males, in the united states of america. but yet in city of chicago, you had over 700 black on black murders. and if you look at totality across u.s. of america you have 2000 black on black murders, real, where should emphasis be? i will agree with your previous guest that president interjected himself mark making him the center of protest. you think about why the national anthem of written, soldiers were inside of fort mchenry, while the british were outside trying to take down the american flag, i can't see anyone saying that they are sitting down or on the knee while playing national anthem, that is disrespectful to those inside of fort mchenry, and frances scott key who saw the shelling of that bombardment. charles: why do we go from here, i suspect come sunday we're not going to see same wide group protest, i am sure that league made its point or counter point to president trump. how can we stop yelli

carley: good morning, heather and rob and started with collin kaepernick and spreaded through the nflhed issue into forefront of conversationment his opinion, if you don't stand for national anthem, you do not deserve a job in the nfl, take a listen. >> wouldn't you love to see one of the nfl owners, when someone disrespects our flag, get that out of the field, he's fired. carley: we have seen it before, here we go again. hollywood coming together to oppose the president. michael moore sent out this tweet that shows him wearing a colin kaepernick jersey and included the caption, during my broadway show, the audience joined with me and stood in solidarity protesting trump. ellen took to twitter, as football fan i am proud of the nfl players today, nothing is more american than the right to peacefully protest. chelsea handler chimed in, i'm watching football out of respect for all of the players, good for you colin kaepernick for starting a movement, black lives matter. rob and heather, that's hollywood's perspective, some football fans also weighed in and even we saw videos of them boo

. >> well young collin kaepernick got a huge surprise today when his grandmother took him to a game stopnd just happened 2 washington redskins were there and they spotted his jersey. they heard the boy talking about saving up for an x box so they bought him one. they loved the fact he was still wearing kaepernick's jersey. he said he loves kaepernick because of his courage to stands up for issues. >>> a chief elon musk has some new stance for rocket travelers. a big falcon rocket would fly up to speeds of 18,000 miles per hour. musk said it could take people anywhere in less than an hour. and the ticket price would be about the same as an economy seat on an airliner. >>> the same rocket design is also part of a plan to colonize mars. musk says space x will send 2 cargo ships there followed by the first manned mission. it will hold people and a solar storm shelter. >>> tgif, we are looking forward to some nice weather. >>> let's what elon musk is not going to do. the guy is very smart. 76 degrees in concord right now. it's a beautiful evening in liver more. not as warm. san jose, 68. sant

collin kaepernick and all these players, ratings were down for last year and last year was nodd not ad year for the nfl. >>i'm defending you right now. i don't think that if you hear something that you don't like, you should call for the firing of that person. that's one of the foundational values of this country. on kaepernick, he has the free-speech right to protest, take a knee, which i think is a very reverential thing. people can like it or not like it. employers have a right to hire him or not. i will defend his right to take that knee, until my last breath. >>it looks like the conservatives are the ones open-minded. when we come back, daily caller has a huge explosive report. they are reporting he tried to hide a secret serve. this gets bigger every day. dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we could see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident every day. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, ki

jones, of course, famous for saying, he likes his players to respect the flag, not a fan of collin kaepernick last week. say to f the end, a week ago , is not the place to do anything than under the flag. they'll be tested tonight. does of course has read the riot act that his players all toe the line here. the line seems to be coming to matter what the president says whether he says that you are not, despite what other owners locking arms, i shall not. if you do this, what happens? fox business network, on the growing pressure to tow the liner bucket? >> the demographic of the average football fan is against it. if you look at the demographic, this whole controversy started with donald trump attacking in a crude way, i would say, the protests, taking the knee during -- but if you look at the demographic of the average football fan, and income of $100,000 a year or less. race is a part of this. we have to admit, most football fans, 67-70% of them are white. many are in the military. many are male. it is a donald trump demographic, i demographic that does not like what is going on. jerry jones

here's the story that makes it harder and harder to explain why collin kaepernick doesn't have a jobe nfl this year. the indianapolis colts announced that andrew luck will miss the season opener on sunday against the rams. luck hasn't yet seen the field since under going shoulder surgery. the feeling was that luck would be ready to start. the guy replacing him is scott tolzin who was on the 49ers for one year in 2012. colts gm ballard on this week's decision. >> i am, i'm being extra a little conservative here to where i want to make sure when we get andrew back he can practice every day. it'll be a little bit of a process to get him to that. but we will. we don't want to jeopardize a little short term here over the long haul. andrew is a younger player still and we have to have a long term view here of where we're going. >> when you talk about great young players. jordan speith is one of the first names that comes to mind. thomas should not be left out of the conversation. at the fed ex play offs continues, speith was under fire. second hole hitting his approach speith has the groun
