this might be his rupert murdoch moment.ink back to 1976 when rupert murdoch bought the new york post, he became the first voice into media and medications and i think that's what you are seeing now. emily: he's unpredictable on any given day. does that concern you? >> at the end of the day, twitter is a huge microphone for him. it is clearly an underperforming asset. the s&p has outperformed twitter over the last decade by two to one. there is a lot he could do with the business. if he separates out the technology from the media, you open source who can have access to the information. the question of moderation goes away. let the capital markets decide how much moderation people want on their version of twitter. emily: you have another company that is focused on the brain. on curing brain disease. can you talk to us about that? >> >> it's a great company. we have 45 folks based in san francisco. we are focused on ai empowered neuro-therapeutics trying to cure central nervous system disease. two major ones are alzheimer's an

on monday, rupert murdoch will launch talk tv.e, piers morgan, is getting all the attention. ros atkins has been speaking to him. you continue to trash her. ok, i'm done with this. sorry. no, no. this was piers morgan's final edition as presenter of good morning britain. just over a year later, he is back. rupert murdoch is launching a new network, talk tv and piers morgan is star signing and he said his new show has one prima it's mission statement is to cancel cancel culture. when people say cancel culture doesn't exist i say actually it's happening all over the place, open your eyes. the culture wars are raging whether like i like it or not. my argument will be to try and bring some perspective and common sense to these debates. some of the stuff going on is completely insane and someone has to fight for common sense and for freedom and a freedom of speech and the rights of people and i want to be that person. it was rupert murdoch who gave piers morgan his first big job in journalism making him editor the news of the world in

often a note but if like rupert murdoch. and like you know sinclair broadcasting is another company that you may have heard of that's buying up of local television stations all over the country and you may have seen a video that went viral a couple of years ago dozens dozens of these local news anchors were forced to read up basically a conservative propagandists. that's it by the end of the cat we can't leave it there because- at pioneers were about solutions. and there is a solution to this. and it's. you. and i mean they're very specifically and i think the i am convinced her. everything that i've seen in of in the story of what has happened to news in this country and around the world that the only way we are going to have. journalists in that serves the public that serves the democracy that it's a part of it is for the public to take ownership of it. and that is a very different models so you know again at mother jones that's we've kind of been a forty three year experiment in creating. this sort of model we were starte

we have seen of course rupert murdoch acquiring the new york post, the wall streetjournal, jeff asked jeff bezos the washington post. but this is a huge deal. bezos paid $250 million for the washington post, this is a $41; billion deal. that remains to be seen though who elon musk puts in charge at twitter, does it keep with the present line—up of officials or does he mix it all “p officials or does he mix it all up a bit, and what will be the reaction i wonder of tesla shareholders, who may feel that with tesla and space x that elon musk is somewhat divided, as far as his concentration is concerned, he has a lot on his plate already, and what this may mean for the development of the first truly electric car for example.— for example. such an interesting _ for example. such an interesting point - for example. such an l interesting point there, for example. such an - interesting point there, david. i also wonder what you think of what impact this decision will have on users? it has been criticised, hasn't it, twitter, for being somewhat of an unpleasant place in comparison to other soc

what about if rupert murdoch or one of the murdoch clan wanted to buy it?ot going to go down the road of discussing who is going to buy it or not. apart from anything else, i'm not sure it's a very wise thing to do. people now consume their television where they want, when they want, on whatever they want. and that all has to be taken into account and therefore we put prominence, which is going to go into the media bill, which guarantees that when people switch on their smart tvs or whatever, that channel 4 is listed amongst those public service broadcasters, and easy to find so it is there and prominent. that's a good example of one of the caveats you are putting in there. what do you say to people when they say, oh, she's just privatising it because she doesn't like channel 4 news because every time she goes on there, they give her a hard time? it's just... i get a hard time everywhere i go! but it doesn't even come into the consciousness. it's not part of the decision—making process. 0k. this is something which has been looked at... honestly, not at all?

[laughter] >> rupert murdoch.the story about the time you let that guy -- [laughter] >> exactly. [laughter] can you say you took in a stray person? no, i came up with that on my own. i think it's because she is working in an administration where so much of it involves knowing what to say. when you are said something you are not told to say, it's tough for her not to spend so much time on it. think she thought she was being kind of bad-ass. >> what do you make of the biden -- >> the handshake? it's like watching your favorite -- he's just getting amped up in the corner. and then, our evil producers put music to. [laughter] >> it's terrible. it just ruins our skit. >> i did. i just find it, if you are going to call somebody a stupid -- you have to be sure about it. someone prepared, and horrible speakers. if you are still using this word when you talk, maybe you should not talk. nothing kills a speech more. >> i'm digging that new vp "say it twice, it sounds nice. acknowledging to acknowledge. somebody was really hi

value in owning publishing platforms it is why jeff bezos bought "the washington post," where rupert murdoch bought the "the wall street journal," why con shu-- confucius knows those fortune kokies because he knows none of us will play his lucky numbers in the lotto. it is genius. by buying twitter elon music will gets to own one of the most culturally influential plat forms in the world. remember this, think about t twitter is how the arab spring took off, black lives matter blew up on twitter. the me too movement started on twitter. trump used twitter to turn himself from a reality show joke into the 45th president of the united states and a joke. (laughter) so owning twitter gives you more power than the drug store employee with the key to the deodorant shelf, yeah. you want to shell fresh, you best not piss off curtis, don't play around. will shut you down, walk around smelling musky. so here is the thing. look, whether you are for elon musk or against him, you have to admit st pretty crazy that one man is now in control of all of that. because before this jack dorsey didn't own twitter

it's almost like you know, in the beauty, too, of when rupert murdoch bought dow jones and "the wall street journal." that was basically a privately held company and he was able to rattle the cage there and get what he wanted with "the new york times," basically a privately held, public company i bet if he put a big enough price out there on "the new york times," he'd get "the new york times," too, even though the solisb solisberger family pretty much controls it. you're going to become a public company, then you absolutely either have to anticipate somebody like elon musk coming along and buying up 9.2% of your shares or putting defenses in place to make it much more difficult. but that's not very shareholder friendly so i think what twitter has done is fine and i think if elon musk wants to buy this thing, god bless him. he certainly could pretty much do it in petty cash. i don't know what he'd do with it he certainly can't buy it through tesla, but he could buy it using his tesla ownership >> how profitable is twitter >> depends on various points in time, but it has the potential

talk beings is an actual pentagon report released one source and one source only, also owned by rupert murdochtorious british tabloid "the sun." so, this is a bit like if, instead of the "new york times," the pentagon papers were printed on a bathroom stall. but even that being said, the report's pretty shocking. >> pilots tracking unidentified objects, balls of lights suspended over the ocean, u.f.o.s chasing warships. all part of a growing body of sightings of u.a.p.s. now comes something even more explosive-- a 1,500-page pentagon report of previously classified documents cataloging accounts from witnesses and victims claiming radiation burns, brain damage, even paralysis, after close encounters with u.a.p.s. >> stephen: oh, my god. these aliens are so advanced, they're from a 1950s b-movie! they've achieved hot-glued pie plate technology! and fox news reporting on these real, shocking things while tossing in fake b-roll didn't end there. >> the report says humans have been injured from exposure to u.f.o.s, from abductions and perceived time loss, to sexual encounters. >> stephen: how come

about having vetted this as a potential acquisition not long ago so it wouldn't be shocking if rupert murdochd, i want this or if jeff bezos. i wouldn't say today is game over and elon musk will now gain some sort of control over twitter. too early to say i don't think there's enough popcorn in the world for what could potentially happen >> forget game over. maybe now this is game on. big time josh, thanks good to see you. >> that's what i think be good. >>> up next, some of the big etfs to watch. plus, all april, we're celebrating financial literacy jim with what that means to him. >> financial literacy to me means than investor understanding not just the potential returns from an investment, but the risks. when i say investment, it can be more than just a stock or bond it could be an entire plan an entire asset allocation, but it's very important that an investor, through financial literacy, understands the returns and risks that are inherent in any investment [copy machine printing] ♪ ♪ who would've thought printing... could lead to growing trees. ♪ your record label is taking off. but so

rupert murdoch long ago had the courage to start up a network that everyone thought was going to failause he saw an unmet need in the marketplace. so if, in fact, it's true that these social media companies hate conservatives, which i think is overstated in the first place, but if it's true, there there's the market of opportunity. so at least with elon musk, rather thanking with a victim -- than being a victim, my guess is he's got a vision that no one on the left or right can possibly understand to improve it. so good for him. that's how it should happen. unfortunately, it's not. more and more are going to the government for help. kennedy: yeah, you're absolutely right. and he also, you know, one of the things that gives me hope is he use withs and understands twitter, and he think abouts about it x. that -- thinks about it. that also means he is looking forward. how are we going to communicate differently? he's got plenty the of money, and i'm sure he wants twitter to be profitable, but it's much more than that. and you know it's more than that based on the reaction, you know? the

they are talking about the company that fox owner rupert murdoch did business with. murdoch sold most of his entertainment brands to disney a few years ago. he may still be one of disney's biggest shareholders. like i said, this is bigger than disney. this is a preview of a midterm election battle. in fact, it's already raging on the right. is anybody else paying attention to it? should they? joining me to discuss that and more charlotte clamor writer and lgbt activist who previously served as a press secretary for the human rights campaign. also with me natasha alfred and david zurawik. welcome to you all. there are other layers to this. charlotte, let's start with the history of this. there is an ugly history in the united states of portraying gays, lesbians, transgender people as perverts, as predators who are preying on children. when i see some of the coverage in the last week seems to me they are just repeating an ugly history. >> good morning, brian. yeah, it's exasperating to watch all of this go down. i can't believe that it's 2022 and we're still seeing lgb

he cites other, garc such as news corp owner rupert murdoch, who owns the wall street journal and themong other publications and amazon's jeff bezos who owns the washington post saying, quote, this is a profit making opportunity for them and it adds to their power. coming up, san leandro police arrest a man they say killed another man who was driving a lawnmower. >> and oakland's mayor is asking the state for more money to tackle the homeless crisis. how she wants to spend the additional funding. i'm so glad sauced & loaded fries are back. yea. i really missed this. i missed us. to my fries—and to my guys. my $3.50 triple cheese & bacon sauced & loaded fries. order on the jack app today. kick off the party with my triple cheese & bacon sauced & loaded fries. yep. my famous curly fries smothered in three melty cheeses and bacon are back. psst...you're drooling. my $3.50 triple cheese & bacon sauced & loaded fries. order on the jack app today. east bay. oakland leaders are asking for the state's help to address the homeless crisis there. they say that if they don't get the funding. >> s

true if you're a democracy like the united states who used to regulate media ownership, saying rupert murdoch own too many newspaper in one town, but congress hasn't gotten around to saying whether or not one person can own all of twitter. if you own twitter or facebook or what have you, you don't have to explain yourself. you don't have to be transparent. you could secretly ban one party's candidate or all of it candidates, all of its nominees. or you could secretly turn down the reach of its stuff. the rest of us might not find out until after the election. elon musk says this is all to help people because he is just a free speech, philosophically clear helper, world helper. is that true? is hold you take him at his word? this is important stuff, and we're going bring in two experts on it. obama campaign veteran che candori. and we're back in just 60 seconds. aleve x. its revolutionary rollerball design delivers fast, powerful, long-lasting pain relief. aleve it, and see what's possible. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens

it's very depressing and i would attribute that to maybe three particular figures, donald trump, rupert murdochy've done to make it sour and the reason american politics has become sour is because a lot of politicians have forgotten what barack obama just said in that clip, which is government can make the lives of people better. politics has become something, become about cultural contests, it's been about cultural sort of fights. you see that very much with the republicans today. they really want to fight this midterm on cultural issues. matt gaetz today to general austin or secretary austin was talking about wokeism in the military, ron desantis the don't say gay bill and his war against disney. it's all about these cultural fights and it's very important for democrats to move the message and move the national conversation back to economics, to pocketbook issues and to making the lives of people better, and how do we do that? we do that with things like the child care tax credit, we do that with things like the aca. >> yes, so trump, murdoch, zuckerberg you see as the villains driving this,

and rupert murdoch doesn't seem to be like that. >> seth: less. >> slightly less >> seth: i think ifot at number three >> seth: yeah, number three. [ laughter ] hey, last thing before you go, you know, there was a bit of a controversy here on the show when your "spider-man" co-star tom holland was here and he said something. >> what happened >> seth: well, he was talking about, you know, there were three spider-men in that last movie. you were one of them, and he was one of them, and one suit. he mentioned that one -- let's just take a look real quick. >> i'll give you a spoiler, and i'm not gonna tell you who, but one of us has a fake ass in their suit >> seth: really? [ laughter ] wow! >> you can figure out that for yourselves >> seth: well -- [ laughter ] >> he's just stirring the pot, old tom. he can't help himself. you know, there's an expression that we have in entertainment, which is, we want to put bums on seats >> seth: yeah. >> you know, we want to get the audience sat and paying their tickets, and tom is pretty great at creating subgenres of games for you all, while you're

. >> so rupert murdoch bought all of the telenovelas from latin america and had them translated, notlike, you know, "how is your sister's love interest?" you know, you're like, "you mean boyfriend? and so there were all these fights that happened on set. there was no show runner, so it was like "lord of the flies. we were all at each other's throats arguing over what we were going to shoot. >> seth: but you shot a lot, right? because it's like, soap opera schedule >> yeah. we shot like 55 pages a day. which, for example, like "true blood," we'd shoot five or six. >> seth: wow >> okay, so they would do everything from one side, thinking they were saving time so you would shoot 16 scenes from 11 different episodes from the entire run of 65 [ laughter ] one way. >> seth: so if your character was in a kitchen, every time he was in a kitchen for the whole season, you would shoot in one day? >> you'd shoot it, yeah. and then you would turn around at lunch to go the other way and get their coverage so it was, like, it was insane and then, like, for example, if you were walking down a hallwa

he's at the centre of a new network, talk tv which is being launched by rupert murdoch on monday.k post, as well as a book deal. so the world s going to be gettng a lot more of piers morgan. ros atkins has been speaking to him for radio 4 s the media show. you've talked about the importance of your show to democracy in its own way, upholding certain values. but doesn't democracy in some ways rest on all of us having facts, on us all having good information? so on fox nation where your programme is going to be streamed, tucker carlson also has a program, a documentary series which floated the idea that the storming of the capital was potentially an inside job organised by the fbi, by police insiders. no evidence was offered. is that a helpful contribution to the... i don't agree with that. so at what point do you get to the stage where someone is doing something that you don'tjust agree with what you think i do whatever uncomfortable with. .. surely i could find a hundred people who say the same things that you say to be abhorrent. i know some of them. in other words i could say to

i think another example would be rupert murdoch. we're obviously on a fox network. he had a lot of money and started fox. and he did so against all odds. and so i think it's useful to think about in terms of musk. he doesn't have hundreds of billions of dollars because he does what people think he is going to do. he has hundreds of billions precisely because he takes us in all new direction. i think people worried about, people who think that conservatives get too much free speech on the new twitter or not enough, i don't think they understand musk at all. he will take us in a direction we never imagined with his purchase. neil: i wonder real quickly with your thoughts he is truly conservative. he strikes me more libertarian, unpredictable to the point of that, so what can we expect of him? >> i think you're absolutely right. i don't think he is conservative. i think he he is con gently libertarian. everything he has done from paypal, tesla, solarcity, they always said there is no way this will work. my guess is he will take the company private take us in a directio
