i think espn, they can do whatever they want on the show.red for that question. it wasn't like he was reading somebody else's talking points. i think he believed it. >> greg: max kellerman is a virtue signaling jackass and here is evidence. would he have set it to jim brown? jim brown would have wiped the floor with him. he did it because he thought he could get away with it. this is the problem with injecting politics into bodies that do not have an immune system for it. when you inject politics into sports, sports gets sick. when you inject politics into the entertainment world, the entertainment world gets sick. when you inject politics into academia, what do you get? you get a poison, toxic campus. whenever you put politics, he gets sick, except on "the five." because we are real. >> dana: when you inject sports into me, i get sick because i can't even come up with the word athlete. >> brian: the people know president trump, they have a different opinion. >> greg: tell us about it, brian. >> brian: mike tyson, dennis rodman, herschel wal

l> mcnair said he found out about the footb program from this investigation by espn. he and the athletic director who was a part of the football program at one point are both saying we didn't know. e question is that good enough to say you didn't know? therwas a kinf culture, and we have to wait until forst the ination to be completed. but this is a young man who needed a kidney transplant his dehydratio was so intense, his body beg to shut down completely and the feeling was you need to get up p andy some more. and this is why lowe apologized but the question is, how does something like this -- you keep thinking about kids who want to protect their futures, you don't want to be the kid that says to the coach of this professional team, this kid's a punk, he shouldn't be on thisteam. >> the economic ties between a university, is two major sports program, the basantball program the football program. there's so many implications coming, just don't know w they're coming. >> got to take a break. >>> i team investigation uncovered some problems. >>ashington, d.c. va medical

and espn so they are in a unique position there to create something that takes the best of streamings we know it and cable and make a viable play. >> and in terms of investors, it enables disney to change that conversation to monitor our progress in this big growth area where it's going to be addtive to our consumer efforts as opposed to, let's track the shrinkage of the big cash cow business in cable networks by the way, we're buying this huge chunk of 21st century which you ary fox that's going to make the cable businesses even smaller as a piece of the whole. so it's the overall iger strategy, but faster paced to an enth degree, because he was bet all and cross everything else and do as little of me too as possible while shrinking the distribution stuff, that he's done at abc for 20 years. >> speaking of the fox assets, how does this play out with skye >> pardon me >> how do you think this plays out with the skye assets >> disney is unique. so skye, comcast, the companies are all in a tough position if streaming giants take over this content world. >> mike, it seems like this miss

espn has a way to solve that problem, steve, am i right?orward is not actually run the anthem. hi, excuse me. how are you. >> how are you. steve: espn is not going to run the national anthem during monday night football. do you think that's a good idea or bad idea? >> i disagree with that i think. steve: why? >> i think it's a core part of america. and kind of doing away with something like that not a big football fan but know it's important to the american values and taking away the national anthem -- steve: are you watching less football. >> again, i'm not a big football fan. i like baseball. if they started taking away the national anthem from baseball i would be a bit more upset. the point remains. steve: go to work. >> than thank you have a nice day. steve: go over here, here is somebody else. how are you doing today? i'm working right now, as well. let's talk to people right here. hi. >> hi. >> listen, espn is not going to run the national anthem before monday night football, do you think networks should run the anthem? >> absolutely.

espn is reporting mcnair was carried off the field with a body temperature of 106 degrees. we reached out to the head coach for comment, but he has not responded. >> zachary, thank you. >>> and much more ahead on "world news tonight" this sunday. the high-speed chase. alleged drug traffickers trying to outrun the law. the chopper chasing them from sea to land. what police seized. >>> plus, why are some turning on the newest ride share they're now all over the country. are these scooters nuisances or revolutionary? >>> and the pilot that turned a major highway into a runway. stay with us. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in sheboygan, wisconsin, where ice dams could cause water damage. but no matter what park you live on, one of 10,000 local allstate agents knows yours. now that you know the truth, are you in good hands? (door bell rings) it's ohey. this is

i see inside espn network which is a great organization but occasionally you have one that isn't living up to what it should be and you got to start a new one. >> nothing or whatever multiple organizations. it is not the only grassroots organization in texas. >> there are other matters. the push for a lot of this, the conservative movement, we pushed the victor hugo quote, nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. that is complete rubbish because everything is more powerful than a good idea whose time has come. the junior lobbyist working for a third rate lobby firm with rented office space on the wrong side of town in the capital is more powerful than a good idea. what gets a good idea across the finish line is a lot of engaged citizens, people rallying around and creating the political wave and muscle that overcomes the bureaucracy in the lobby but it takes time and i think that is the thing, looking at july 4, 1776, big shocker, those guys didn't show up on the first and go who want a revolution? there were decades of labor, trying to convince people, getting sam adams w

if the movies falter and espn is not guaranteed, where is the growth coming from? the big question there always. melissa: could be their own streaming channel, the movies, that they will be putting out there online. everybody watches everything from home now. i go with my kids. we watch it in the theater. go home and buy it and watch it 100,000 more times, amazingly pay for it again and again. lenore that is where the growth comes from. >> absolutely. we've got, percentage of americans that actually have cable service is down to just 63% from 74% two years ago. more and more, if you look at younger demographics, even more dramatic. everything is going to that over the top, otc and with hbo having moved into the hbo now, that was done through bam tech. disney acquired bam tech recently. bam tech is really helping them move their forward with their own service. i think that is what we're really going to see growth. melissa: terrific, thanks guys. david: breaking news from inside the beltway. wilbur ross is under fire, commerce secretary is being accused stealing more

espn recently announced the network will not air the national anthem before the monday night footballis is what the president said at a rally yesterday in west virginia. >> it was just announced by espn that rather than defending our anthem, our beautiful, beautiful national anthem, and defending our flag, they have decided that they just won't broadcast what they play with the national anthem. we don't like that. >> the nfl put its national anthem policy on hold last month while it continues to have discussions with the players on how exactly to handle it. in the meantime, there's still no punishment for players that do choose to demonstrate. >> it was just interesting to hear the president bring it up last night. there was other news. >> not like there was a lot going on. >> so it seems that this is a distraction. >> do you think it was a coincidence? >> no, i don't. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >>> an update now on the colorado man accused of killing his pregnant wife and two daughters. he appeared emotionless as he was charged in their murders. but as the charges were read, sh

and espn decided not to broadcast so they don't have any -- can you imagine? cbs and espn. is that good? what the hell is the nfl doing? what are they doing? do they not have a clue? leland: fox sports is reportedly going to air the anthem during special games like thanksgiving and the playoffs. nbc sports is not decided yet but here we are less than two weeks before the start of the nfl season and players kneeling has become a hot topic during the midterms. let's look at the most recent fox news poll and by the way on the topic. it shows the player protests have taken a toll on the nfl popularity. more people now have an unfavorable view of the nfl than a favorable view. 43 percent to 42 percent. and again, the nfl popularity has nosedived since 2013 when 64 percent of the public had a favorable view of the leak. kristin: bryan llenas, thank you.leland, here we go again. two weeks out from another football season with players kneeling will be -- leland: everywhere summit the national anthem, not the game and what's happening on the field. they say if it is newsworthy we wi

it's bigger than espn. that's true as of last year.ouble digit income grower for years. if we saw head winds that suggest we hit the peak on parks, which we're not, that would cause us to be -- >> and you don't worry about competition from comcast >> on the theme park side? >> yeah. >> comcast nbc has been investing a ton in orlando all we've seen is more orlando more attendance. more growth. it's been incredible so far so good on that >> we had gene munster on talking about netflix. he is no longer a fan of netflix at the moment. he's splitting them off in the faang world. where do you see netflix -- by the way, where is apple? >> they're being dropped by faang? >> in his mind he wants to see tesla. where netflix is sort of the -- dare i say the standard relative to other content players >> we think the pullback you've seen in tech and netflix is an opportunity in the stock i don't think there's a debate about whether or not netflix has won the ott battle globally. they won the question is what do you want to pay for it? our view is t

department staff members on leave while the school investigates multiple allegations detailed in an espns, jordan mcnair. >> we have an individual at 4068 fieldhouse drive that's hyperventilating after exercising and unable to control their breath. >> reporter: according to espn, on may 19th, the offensive lineman collapsed after a team workout, sending the 19-year-old to the hospital with signs of extreme exhaustion. mcnair died 15 days later. at the time, his coach offering his condolences. >> it's not reasonable that a 19-year-old should pass away. >> reporter: despite his comments, current and former players including multiple anonymous sources close to the program are speaking to espn about the environment under its head coach. they allege the program had a toxic coaching culture that flourished on fear and intimidation, a place where they claim humiliation, embarrassment and verbal abuse of players is common. >> specifically, our sources have told us that it stems from the top in terms of durkin's philosophy of just really grinding the players and pushing them to their limits. >> r

disney for years this media titan has been held by espn.s right they've been losing some subscribers in what was once the crown jewel. the stock has done nothing since 2015 as nothing did seem to trump the narrative of espn. so this year disney changed the entire conversation around its stock, with the potential acquisition of 21st century fox's entertainment assets after winning a bidding war, disney is getting some incredible properties that they can close on this deal they're going to be in a fabulous position to either license their content to streaming video providers on very favorable terms or launch their own streaming platform, which is the idea they've been talking about lately that's what they've done with sports they launched espn subscription streaming service. i think it's working i like it. the best part, even with the recent run, disney still sells for less than 15 times everything that's next year's earnings. this is a premium name, a premium company with premium management it sells at 15 times earnings. that seems wrong to

a cording to espn, there was often extreme verbal abuse. coaches would throw weights towards players. and some players claimed if a teammate was on the ground from exhaustion, staff would drag them off the ground and make them run. a player was once allegedly belittled for passing out during a drill. the mcnair family is now considering legal action. >> our suit is absolutely probable. the question is when are we going to do it. >> reporter: now, the university of maryland wrote to us in a statement, promising a full investigation, and saying humiliating and demeaning a student is not only bad teaching and coaching, it is an abuse of the authority of a teacher and coach. we should also add that this is all still under investigation. some players and coaches have come forward to speak in praise of head coach durkin. alex. >> tony, thank you. >>> we have breaking news from northwest spain where a board walk collapse overnight injured more than 300 people, five seriously. officials say many young people were on the board walk in the town when

. >> live tv i still believe espn insider went to espn plus.ou know i am a huge believer in the espn plus. >> i know you are. i noticed you added disney to the charitable trust >> i did because i think that disney and comcast, i believe very strongly the narrative will change very radically now that there are fewer cord cutters and than espn -- all those new games that they have. i want to see the games. >> fewer cord cutters? i know it's slow >> cord cutting, you're going to this >> these -- your kids, they're not ever going to have a subscription to cable. >> i'm still paying the cable bill and they pulled out the cord >> that's really silly >> i think that's an ill-advised stand. >> i agree >> but they're millennials you think they listen to the parents? first of all, they didn't pick up when i complained -- i texted -- i texted and they sent me emojis. emojis for basically like stop bothering me, dad. >>> coming back to alibaba we tend to sort of weave in and out here talking about the tensions between our two countries, reminding people bu
