here to talk about his once fraud and pretty chummy relationship with fox news and rupert murdock.t piece inside fox talking about why rupert murdock has dropped reservations about trump. why has he thrown in with trump in. >> business. trump is the republican nominee. he has to get on board. the audience of fox, during this whole feud with trump, the audience was totally on trump's side. it was really on the a select group of fox angers that was part of this anti-trump crowd. >> when ever fox would do an anti-trump segment, the numbers would -- >> the numbers would come down. during the feud with megyn kelly, all the e-mails and tweets that fox producers were getting were taking trump's side. she was worried about the volume of e-mails and the death threats she was getting for challenging trump. this is case where they decided this is what the base, this is what our audience wants. >> politically, he lines up with trump, fox news would do better with hillary this there because then they are the guys throwing the stones. they always do better. obviously, for a long term play, one c

talking about this important topic, i won't say how long, steve murdock, jesus romero, thank you for putting this together, this important issue we need to talk about. i can't resist one more thing about myself. i recently got a little award, about 1000 people, they just started to distinguish the alumni award and that may distinguish -- i love that. i went over there, talk to some friends and told her the wonderful things about it. what were the challenges? had to take drivers education. and then she thought about that and said don't drive very well either. how much respect i get at home. we have been hearing and going to hear a lot about issues in coming months. we are in an election cycle. we can't avoid it, it will be with us a few months and you are hearing a lot of things said, some very compassionate, some very cruel, some in between but it will be much of that conversation is going to set a lot more heat than light. what i am trying to do, what i have done, our entire careers, call them like we see them, the numbers are what the numbers are and that is the bottom line. i will

. >> people assert that murdock got more concerns. >> there are different politics. >> there is a lot of different personality in that building with different ideas than trdond trump. >> i don't think we'll see gotfried reading this. s the not fox news, it is not the cable network. this is the network that basically of every television set in america. >> that's run. >> that is a statement at some level about where they are at. >> more mainstream and they gave donald trump, a fabulous opportunity in this interview to reach out all of the women voters. he's scared that he may possibly have lost. >> and who he requires to have any prayers in election. that's the group he needs to change. >> that's the reason to do it on the network rather than on fox news channel. fox news, he's speak to the choir. >> and also to me another no, ma'am -- this whole idea of like oh, we should fight them everywhere. >> most of the institutions and not all. he's behind what you expect for a normal no, ma'minee. you have people won't supporting him in the general election. that's three more than would be norm

i certainly intend to live that long, but i don't believe in the 20 years. >> the reaction to murdock'ses he know about television. >> we don't think of ourselves as cbs, abc or nbc. we don't have to reach everyone. there's no question we have a inferior lineup of stations, and we have to get our message across and get shows sampled. >> they had an idea, in order to succeed, we have to differentiate ourselves and do things they would not do. >> fox started throwing anything against the wall not knowing what would go. first things were like 21 jump street. joan rivers in terms of late night. >> we have been banned in boston which i think is wonderful. wxne, pick a finger, wxne. >> and the tracy ullman show. >> it was a sketch show. and they needed something to go between the sketches. again, they were looking for something different. >> i got to have those candy bars. >> you better not be thinking of stealing those candy bars. >> that's it! >> the simpsons would never have come along had it not been for the tracy ullman show. >> ultimately, crime hurts the criminal. >> that is not true,

murdock. proceed with your response and proceed down the line. thank you. i'm going to get over here because it gives me more protection. i'm glad to be here. very nice things being said about me. i'm reminded of a talk i was giving a small town in texas. the gentleman who had given me the job got ill at the last minute. another john got up and said dr. ,urdock has done a lot of dim dim. he said i guess it is best to think of him as a rural demagoguer. i'm going to try not to be a demagoguery today. i want to start off with a success i think are important about immigration. undocumented immigration. we know for example that as of 2015 there were about 4 million in thents of all forms united states. we know from estimates that we have them by the pew manning center, that the number of undocumented immigrants in the tontry is about 11 million 13 million. hewitt put it at about 11 but says it could be 13. to 1.8 millionon in texas. often heard the figures i give people a rush of saying those are wrong. there's 3 million if there's a milliond there are 3 undocu

murdock can cover that i think. >> oh, i dropped it. >> thank you. >> nice try.ing story is our brand ambassador larry king was was act at the game when jackie ran out on the feel. when he interviewed martin luther king junior in the 60's he introduced him as reverend martin luther king junior, found over the civil rights movement. martin luther king interrupted larry king and said i'm not found are of the civil rights movement, jackie robinson is founder of the civil rights movement. these are the founding documents of the civil rights movement that changed it all right here. >> well, starting tomorrow. >> starting tomorrow through june 5th, thinks our longest stop because this is the city of brotherly love and independence. >> birthplace of america. >> we have been invited to bring them to the white house in september, for the opening up of the african-american museum reception. so that is a huge honor and we are looking forward to that as well. >> it is an honor just to see these in person. you have to go see this. >> get over there. >> thank you so much. >> t
