the controversy basically destroyed kaepernick's football career. point by someone to keep sports out of politics. again, what we fail to see in these cautions is how political sports already is. the fact players play under their national flag and anthem is itself political. the decision to award world cup, olympics, and other hosting rights by country is a political process full of lobbying and allegations of bribery. and we also fail to see that as a venue for protests, peaceful protests, sports offers a rare opportunity to project unity across borders. muhammad ali stood in unity with regular vietnamese people thousands of miles away, and cantor with uighurs he has never met and kaepernick's stance in a quintessentially american sport has actually inspired athletes all over the globe to take a knee for their own liberal values in the years since. sports men and women are using their platforms to peacefully highlight their values. we should respect them for it. thanks to all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week.

that because of the way jerry jones personally handled players kneeling and his comments on colin kaepernicksee, you know, more report reporters, especially sports reporters, ask athletes about other racial and social issues outside of what's happening in their particular sports? we will see. will i be surprised if it doesn't happen? no. but i really hope this is a moment where people look at and realize that they need to do better and realize some of the things that's really going on because like lebron said again, keep that same energy. >> carron phillips, good to see you. thank you. >> so new zealand's prime minister claps back at a reporter's question that seemed to imply that girls just want to have fun. two new ihop lunch and dinner menu items for twice the goodness, twice the flavor, and twice the choice. sirloin salisbury steak and all-natural salmon. perfect for lunch or dinner. only at ihop. download the app and earn free food with every purchase.

i've heard drew brees, colin kaepernick. what do you think here? >> i think the most likely scenario as far as those names you mentioned would be baker mayfield. he was released by the carolina panthers on monday. the 49ers are discussing whether to put in a waiver claim for him. they're far down the list, 24 or 25 in the pecking order. so i know the feeling within the organization is that probably there will be multiple claims. another team would probably get him before the 49ers have that opportunity. but i think it's still being discussed whether the 49ers want to go down that route because there's a lot of baggage with baker mayfield. but he's a talented guy. he was the number one overall pick in 2018. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. the 49ers would have to invest nothing in him. if he's a bad locker room guy or whatever the case may be, they can get rid of him. i think there's something they're certainly talking even at this late hour. the waiver claim has to be in by 1:00 p.m. on tuesday. so we'll see what happens. >> brock purdy

was a long-time dallas fan said he stopped being a cowboys fan when players were kneeling, colin kaepernickization was saying any players who do that would no longer be part of the organization. jerry jones has since softened his stance in regard to that, jerry jones has. but it's clear that this did not sit well with him feeling jerry jones did not receive the same level of criticism, not held as accountable as he should have. kyrie irving was penalized five games without pay, dropped by nike. you can see this is not sitting well with him, especially when these reporters are in front of him every day and have the opportunity to ask lebron about it when they did not. >> listen, coy, i've been making a similar point, whether you agree with kyrie irving or not. but there are a lot of people who feel the same way that lebron james does. lebron just has the courage and the platform to be able to say that. and he's not concerned about the outcome. do you see what i'm saying? >> yeah. i think this is very important to him. we know that race issues are very important to him. and he knows the power

santos has since clarified that he is clearly kaepernick. the congressman is now facing calls to resign. including from outlets in his home district. and abc news, we have reached out to him for comment. camilla, this is just too much. i think it was too much for one holiday for all this happen. you've got minority leader kevin mccarthy, who has stayed silent on this issue. republicans in the house that have stayed silent. nbc news has yet to give a response from the minority leader after multiple times. what is going on here? >> what you see right now is an attempt for the republican party to kind of counter and come back in, and actually talk amongst themselves about what they want to do you. several publicans have stayed silent on it. and some spoken out, saying that they are not happy that he is going to be a part of the party. but and others, like representative marjorie taylor greene have come to his defense. so on different factions within the republican party you are hearing to her responses. but, what's really important to note in t

seeing spike lee spiked out with the colin kaepernick jersey.s keeping his team in it. rainbow 3 had 26 that put the warriors within 2. but the knicks, they put the pedal to the metal 2nd quarter jalen brunson. he deserved that big paycheck. he just got 21 of 5 for him. 3rd quarter knicks with a comfy lead. emanuel quickly shallow corner. give me all 3 of those who have 5 threes off the bench. 22 points mix blowout. the dubs one. 32 94. what a great effort from the young guys on the does with steve kerr continue to express his optimism >> these young guys are working their butts off every day in practice and i i want we all want them to have success. and so it's tough to see. you know, when things don't go you know, at the same time. we've got to keep our energy and our spirit up. but look, you know, it's not not an easy position to be in the other. all so raw. so young you know, they're not ready yet to figure out how to get each other shots. and that's just a tough situation for for them to be an you know, i'm just asking them to keep working

i love the kaepernick, jersey. jordan poole is doing his part to step back from the pool party early. 26 points for poole of the 2 point game. but then the knicks never let up jalen brunson. he got paid this year and he's showing that he was well worth the money. he had 21 of 5 3rd quarter. now, nick, with a comfortable lead emanuel quickly in the short corner, he hit the 3, have 5 of those off the bench. 22 points knicks blow out. the warriors won. 32 to 94 after the game. steve kerr expressed his optimism for the young guns on this roster. >> these young guys are working their butts off every day in practice and i i want we all want them to have success. and so it's tough to see. you know, when things don't go you know, at the same time. we've got to keep our energy and our spirit up. but look, it's you know, it's not not an easy position to be in the other. all so raw. so young you know, they're not ready yet to figure out how to get each other shots. and that's just a tough situation for for them to be an you k

i wonder if this takes her in a different way into a similar direction as maybe -- and, a colin kaepernick fight for the larger thing rather than just the sport. know what i'm saying? >> reporter: absolutely. one of the clearest things i gathered from talking to people around her. even heard it from cherelle when at the white house on friday. this changes everything. you know, brittney griner in the world of wnba, in the world of basketball, is a pretty big name. a pretty big star, but i think even more so now, her notoriety is global, and she understands the responsibility that comes with that, and has been pretty clear she wants to use what power she has to help other people. they are now part of this community. it's a community of families, dozens of them, across the country, whose loved ones are detained across the world. some of those individuals never came home. they died in detention, and so i think the weight of that, really, she carries that with her, and her agent told me that she asked about paul whelan immediately upon, you know, being freed, and that she's known for a long tim

this was the play that kept the 49ers from going to the super bowl colin kaepernick with the past, it was tipped by richard sherman and then intercepted by malcolm smith that kept the 49ers from going to the super bowl for a second consecutive year. interestingly enough richard sherman and malcolm smith eventually became 49ers. but back to that original storyline of the rookie quarterback, making his first start on the road. he knows the significance . but his coach doesn't want him to make this too big. if we win the game and just do our job and just looking at it like it's another game, um and do our thing. then we'll be just fine. but um, you know, kyle has made sort of, you know, some points like you know where we're at in terms of the standings and whatnot, but it's not something that we talk about all the time, somebody he hits on it and then other than that, we just play our game and play football and we want to win every single game. alright we're giving you guys a look here at some of the fans that have arrived early, and i will say this, you know, i think probably as far as

you know, colin kaepernick comes to mind as the person who i think.t but also drew attention to the 49ers when he kneeled, and there was a big controversy about that throughout the country, and then he went on to become a figure in this so there were other players besides him who the 49ers have had right who have also done their own part to bring awareness to these issues. right i think one of the opportunities that we saw in doing this exhibit is to tell the stories within the context of history. so looking at not just players for the 49ers like colin, but looking at, um at historical figures from willie mays, with the giants and him having to deal with housing discrimination, somebody people don't know about the back story there. about bill russell being the first post segregation black head coach and the 18 about tommie smith and john carlos and the olympic project for human rights. there's so many stories that are a part of the bay area and then athletes have kind of used their platforms to elevate these conversations nationally and across the glo

i know a lot of people think that we look at how they handled colin kaepernick and seemed to have been bring him into the fold but i like to compare irving to tiger woods. nike didn't dump tiger woods. nike didn't -- stook stuck by him and didn't when at&t didn't and they could have jumped him but chose not to but they chose to dump kyrie in his prime. they sent a significant message not just in terms of future athletes an how he handle social media but the business in terms of sports wear goes forward. >> that is exactly what i was thinking, because nike had already put out that statement condemning irving and everything had really died down, presumably nike didn't have to sever ties to save face as a company. are they trying to send a bigger message here and if so, what is their message? >> you know, that's a great question for you to ask nike. i'm not quite sure. >> welcome on the show any time. >> i don't want to pull the trigger on this. kyrie is one of those dudes that moves product. he moves -- he puts butts in seats and moves product. he is a must see player and he's in his pri

so you hear about -- colin kaepernick with a backlash. those kneeling for a while. again. the wealth is in blue states. those 70% are the ones that by overwhelming majority of teslas. if people on the right decide, we're going to shut down disney world, no, you are not. there's a reason why -- corporations are not do-gooders. when you see bp saying how much they love nature, whatever! they are worried about the bottom line. right? so if coca-cola or somebody else does somebody that upsets the far right you can try to own the libs. they're not doing it because they want to be loved by the libs. they want to make money! look at the data! your teslas are bought by the libs you're trying to own. they don't want them anymore. >> you got to secure the base. that is the base of tesla and fast losing the base and again he is not focusing on what he is good at and doesn't just own tesla. he is on it 24/7. the tweeter in chief and two other businesses to run. can't run tesla or spacex. on twitter can't run it if you're at the world cup. doesn't make sense here. >>> the a litt

that controversy around colin kaepernick's protests, that was mostly a creation of 500 russian internet bots who posted an incredible 12,000 tweets inflaming public opinion. china's global disinformation campaign is equally robust. for instance, the largest backer of philippines president, former president rodrigo due tear -- duter's e -- duter's assassination campaign. here's an example. the budget for r.t., just one of putin's international television and online news operations, $2.8 billion. the budget for the u.s. agency for global media which funds all of our overseas broadcasting, $1 billion. how do you compete with those kind of funding did is cre sister? here's -- did is cre pab is is? a few years ago i was in dub lib at the say tieb of a major comiewks -- communications contractor in ireland, to award to a european firm or huawei. i was told by a competent but very overwhelmed defense attache assigned to our irish embassy that over the prior few months the chinese embassy had grown by leaps and bounds as dozens of chinese diplomats and provocateurs arrived in town to try to hel
