the reflex was to take it up the chain to rupert murdoch, and jared kushner made a call to rupert murdoch ended up not getting through. it shows you the reach they felt they had, they had access to that sort of individual, the head of fox, the company also owns the wall street journal, and there was another moment where hope hicks, you know, we've heard she's sort of in and out of meetings a lot at trump tower, and early on there was this moment where donald trump is on the phone with david pecker, and he happens to be on speakerphone with him, and they're talking about a story. it happens to be one of the case was a story about ben carson and the "national enquirer" that he had left -- that ben carson had left a sponge in somebody's head. we now know it was a story that either michael cohen or somebody made up and sent over to the "national enquirer" and it was embellished. and donald trump was talking toed david pecker about this story and tells david pecker he should win a pulitzer for it. this moment with david pecker, really underscores the close nature of the relationship of those t

hope hicks testified, she reached out to jared kushner, jared kushner has a relationship with rupert murdoch, to see if kushner could entreat murdoch to buy some time. were you made aware of any efforts to slow the publication? >> no, and i think she testified kushner told her he wasn't going to do that, and she should respond, but i can tell you we never at the journal had any interference from rupert murdoch or anyone below him when we were going to publish those stories. we were able to get them in, even the stormy daniels story, which was more sensitive, because it was the president's lawyer, he was now the president, and involving a pornstar, you know, the journal published that on the front page, there was no qualms. we wanted to be right, that was the main thing. >> obviously you got it done, because it's part of the prosecution's argument today in the first criminal trial of donald trump. michael rothfeld but really appreciate your time and thoughts. the insight is invaluable. >>> coming up, chances are decreasing by the hour as new revelation, some violent, some just really weird, l

it's now two decades old rupert murdoch brought to journalism the germ of partizanship that he learned in london papers. this is the first time in our post-world war one history when we've a major continuing entity devoted to welfare of one party. so i think the debilitating effect of that we're seeing in the in the the attacks on biden and the doubts about biden fed by people who think would otherwise be analytically capable of seeing through the the fog of demagoguery. the other thing i really worry about i i covered the carter and reagan campaigns for the new york times on assignment from friend david jones. and one of the things that i remember about as different as they were they were both very good political. carter at his peak, reagan in his campaigns both could deliver in the moment on the stage, in the spotlight and the age issue that we hear so much about worries me because i worry about biden's performative capabilities over the next six months and so so i must say i thought the state of the union was was a needed spark and should also say that britt's rebuttal reminds us th

and if you ever analyze the development of the media in europe, in the world, and you know who rupert murdoch is, yes, he is the owner of the media, does he influence politics, or he is close to politicians, no doubt, that is , the influence of the phenomenon... the owners have influence on politics everywhere, but state, state censorship is in belarus, in the russian federation, in the dprk, in china and in iran, and i congratulate you, you got into this club because it's not about military censorship, sorry, military censorship yes, no one is definitely against it, but you didn't make a law about military censorship, during the last more than two years of war, even though it should have been done, will make it like the israeli law that military stuff can't notify. no, your goal is not in military censorship, you want to implement in the country, implement it effectively enough in political censorship, which should stop internal political discussions that have nothing to do with information security with the protection of the information space, because if you wanted to protect the informatio

it's rupert murdoch, even although he's retired, still likes to dabble in politics.raise an important question. if the sun did endorse starmer, that would be an absolute disgrace . yes. back in 2013, disgrace. yes. back in 2013, 2014, he was deep . actually, it 2014, he was deep. actually, it was a bit before that he was dpp when 25 sun journalists, all of whom were cleared, by the way, all of whom were cleared after three years of having their lives ruined. right and the thing about mr murdoch is that i know from personal experience, and anybody will tell you who works for him, whether it's the management, the editors or the journalists, he drove them forward to get bigger and better stories. why bigger stories? equal bigger sales. bigger sales at that time to led bigger, advertising revenues and more profits . so the truth is, he profits. so the truth is, he handed over to the police, organised very cleverly a whole series of emails and invoices which were looked as though these journalists were guilty. they weren't guilty of anything. they weren't guilty of anythi

the high court has ruled that prince harry group newspapers to include allegations against rupert murdoch be allowed to be taken to trial, stating they added nothing material to the case. news group newspapers is accused of unlawful information gathering on prince harry since the age of nine, which it denies , and the high court has ruled that the regulations , which that the regulations, which lowered the threshold for police intervening in protests were unlawful. civil liberties group liberty brought legal action against the home office over protest regulations last year. the government measures lowered the threshold for what is considered serious disruption to community life. they also allowed police officers to take into account any relevant cumulative disruption of repeated protests in today's ruling, two judges ruled for the group, finding the home office acted outside of its powers . and acted outside of its powers. and acted outside of its powers. and a woman has died after a dog attack in a house in east london, with police seizing two xl bullies from the property. the metropolit

could in fact be one rupert murdoch. 55-year-old mr.oadcast networks was presumed to be complete and rupert murdoch having disrupted the newspaper business in australia, the television business in britain. he arrives in america and basically says, i don't really see why there should only be three broadcast networks. i'm gonna make another one. this was a big, bold bet. jensen: meantime, he will have to become an american citizen if he is to own tv stations here. something murdoch says he is willing to do. gumbel: there are some people who are saying that it'll take you 20 years to get your fox network on a par with the big three. are you prepared to wait that long? sure, i certainly intend to live that long. but i don't believe in the 20 years. auletta: the reaction to murdoch's idea for a fourth network was similar to the reaction at ted turner starting cnn. it's ridiculous, you know. what does he know about television? we don't think of ourselves as abc, cbs or nbc. we don't have to reach everyone. there's no question we have an infer

it used to be -- if you remember, rupert murdoch had to get u.s. citizenship in order to own fox tv stations. that's no longer the case. foreign companies can own u.s. broadcast stations, but there would still be hurdles. there would be groups that would need to weigh in on ownership. we know sony owns columbia pictures, big tv business, here already. haidi: where does this leave sky dance? >>'s guidance is still kind of in the pole position. there's been a lot of opposition because smaller investors say they are cashing her out at a premium price and merging what remains with a very fat price for david ellis and company. they feel like they are getting diluted in this and they don't have a vote, so quite an uproar from smaller investors, some of whom are not very small. haidi: senior editor chris palmeri, who also leads our media and entertainment team. next, makes earnings from the magnificent seven and we talked through those apple numbers as well. this is bloomberg. ♪ hey you, with the small business... ...whoa... you've got all kinds of bright

she also explained that jared kushner, who was very close to rupert murdoch and working on the campaign, tried to kill the story. it didn't work. once elected, it continued to be a source of concern for the then-president and hicks who was now the director of strategic communication for his administration. the prosecution was able to get her to confirm trump admitted to her while they were in the oval office that michael cohen did a good thing for the campaign by paying stormy daniels. colangelo asked hicks to describe what her former boss told her in the conversation about cohen in february of 2018. which was right after cohen told "the new york times" that he had paid the $130,000 out of his own pocket. hicks said trump told her that cohen said he felt like it was his job to protect him, and that's what he was doing. and he did it out of the kindness of his own heart and he never told anybody about it. in response to a prosecution follow-up hicks conceded such an act would be out of character for michael. i didn't know michael to be an especially charitable person or selfless person.

this was in rupert murdoch's "wall street journal," and very few people could dismiss it as fake news. here, you have the legal version of that reporting, with davidson, the lawyer who did the deal, saying that cone was very upset that all of that went down in close proximity to the election of 2016. why does that matter? this is, again, why it's more than a fraud. the burden on the prosecution is getting that other crime i've told you about, we've had just last night, lawyers on who talked about whether that's going to be an uphill battle. so the evidence is bad for trump, if you follow the news, you may know he tried to bury it. of course it was related to the campaign. but memories aren't good enough at a trial. the only thing that people are supposed to consider is the evidence, so your personal memory of living through the '16 campaign is not what you use if you are a juror, only the evidence presented. this has been an effective couple of days for the prosecution, because they don't look biased or like they're reaching. they are literally using trump and his lawyer and the peopl

he had a good relationship with rupert murdoch.as hoping we could buy a little extra time to deal with this. they are bringing this into evidence. the prosecutor is asking, is this the same incoming message from "the wall street journal"? yes, i forwarded it to jared kushner to see if he could speak to the publisher of "the wall street journal" to buy extra time. he said it wasn't going to be able to reach murdoch. vaughn, this tells you a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. >> reporter: absolutely. the deliberations when a big story breaks. that was four days before the general election. there are a couple key points that we were looking for from hope hicks' testimony that could be -- >> let me interrupt you. the conclusion of that sentence is now being typed into the document. this is tieing a lot of threads together. as i was saying, she said -- she's testifying that she was told he wasn't going to be able to reach rupert. what did she do? i called michael cohen, because he had a relationship with pecker and i believe i ca

rupert murdoch expects 5 million people will sign up.u do the math, 40 or $50 does not seem like it will be incremental. what is the point when you are announcing a second effort. james: it is about giving the consumer more options. there are over 50 million households and we believe they are sports fans. the idea is to speak to them and get them off the sidelines. number two, this is simplicity. what we hear about from sports fans is frustration in terms of fragmentation. if you are a sports fan you need several apps, usernames and passwords. you have several charges and we said this is our opportunity to work together with fox and warner bros. discovery to create a centralized experience. a good chunk of sports more than just espn has to offer. we just want to highlight that each of us -- it is a joint venture we are investing in equally. this is a digital -- so we are going to take out of it what we typically get paid from another m.v.p.. host: all of your telecom cable relationships are ok with this? james: our team is in regular con

the 1980s, they represent rupert murdoch they represented all the titans, wall street. they represent donald trump. in fact back then. so that's how they became the most powerful lobbies of the time and what's fascinating now is that paul manafort, those the guy who was in prison a couple of years ago, now stands to be perhaps the most powerful lobbyists in washington. >> if trump is elected, one of the things that we learned in the book is that in 2016, the reason that paul manafort wanted to join trump campaign was not because he wanted to go be chief of staff in the white house. it was because he wanted to develop relationships with trump, which he could use to then go form a new who lobbying shop, which he could sell his influence peddling services to foreign governments. and that's something he had done in the past go ahead. >> then no, i was gonna say one of the one of the really striking conversations that we were told about by a very good source was that at one point, trump had asked paul manafort, hey, if we win this thing what, what do you want? what do you wa

rupert murdoch hates donald trump. you know, we've got 80% of fox news, 20% hates trump. that's the only organization that you can mentioned that has conservative ideas out of abc, nbc, cbs, the bbc, all of them? you even mentioned that you worked with abc or nbc or one of them so real quick, let's talk about an nation. what was it that is on video that c-span won't play of joe biden going up to that college student and saying -- we're going to destroy fossil fuels. we are getting off of fossil fuels. read my lips. here we are, the inflation spike was way before this vladimir putin thing came up that you all just love that you use an excuse as for every bad thing that goes on in the world. when fuel prices went up, when fuel prices went up, that is when inflation went up. fuel goes into every single thing in this world, almost, even the streets are paved with petroleum-based product. you, sir, are a liar. guest: roy, i think the big lie, as you brought up liars, which we knew would come up today, is the argument that joe biden created higher as prices and inflation. -- hi

process of producing newspapers, which took a revolutionary turn with the move into wapping by rupert murdochthen the development of the internet, social media and google, i mean, google killed the newspaper industry, basically , and that, about 20 basically, and that, about 20 odd years ago, people began to get their news, first and foremost on their breakfast table from their laptops, not from a rolled up newspaper coming through the letterbox . coming through the letterbox. >> so you've covered many a general election , and we've seen general election, and we've seen in the past, you know, possibly the sun newspaper sort of had on their front page on the day before the election or the or the same day as the election vote conservative. i think actually back in 97, it might have been 97 where they said vote labour. you know, they do have a massive influence on politics. newspapers. >> i think that has changed to some extent, obviously simply because of the decline in circulation and the power of the press to involve the readers or the readers of the powerful, the power behind any newspaper.

and then when they were deposed, people like sean hannity and rupert murdoch said, oh, yeah, i believe. i knew that wasn't true. and so, i mean, shame on them. they're not, you know, acting in good faith or acting in bad faith. you would think that they would learned their lesson when they did pay $700 million. but i was watching. i tryo now. and then i was watching a week later. i don't last long. i, i was watching about a week later and there was a scroll, the bottom of the screen, it was depicting joe biden giving a speech and it said, want to be dictator in dites political rival donald trump. i mean, my gosh, come . be so te not lost a learn their lesson but there are also, i think other media outlets of good faith who i think have a quite figured out yet how you cover donald trump. i think that many journalists were brought up in an era where you present both sides of a story as if there are two sides to someone who comes in and lies through his teeth. but you know i think that presumes, james, that you've got candidates who are both acting from have well-intentioned disagreement

maybe shouldn't talk about it here on cnbc but in 1985, rupert murdoch had to become an american citizenou think about tiktok as part of the media ecosystem in the u.s. today this idea you should have some limits on foreign ownership is actually quite an old idea in american history. >> i wonder with the war in gaza how this has changed the conversation because there's a lot of evidence that the site magnifies anti-israel sentiment and that's a big deal for the folks in congress. and i think plays into the idea that there are some serious national security issues despite what china says, right >> i think -- absolutely i think you saw that concern really being driven home by a number of the congressmen as they were building the case for this legislation you could see independent analyst showing pro-hamas propaganda going on on tiktok and you can see a lot of congressmen talking about the concern. i think tiktok's concern to stop the ban, they got hundreds of thousands of kids to call congress, putting a banner on the app, that clearly backfired because it actually brought home to congress

, hoping to quote by a little extra time, rupert murdoch being the owner of the wall structure, wall street journal so we don't know all of the witnesses yet. there may be other people from the campaign, people in the room who get called hicks says she called cohen. >> here we go, because she knew he had a relationship with david pecker she also called pecker's office yeah, they're trying to figure out what went wrong here. they're trying to do damage control and connecting it to michael cohen and connect, right? exactly. bringing michael cohen. and because all that hope hicks, i said up to now is he was sort of this mysterious guy, didn't know what he did. he was always around now she's bringing him directly into the response to these stories. i would hazard a guess that prosecutors have cross-check this with michael cohen's testimony to make sure they're not in conflict with when again, just to state the obvious she was officially on the campaign. yes. michael cohen was officially not on the campaign. >> right. and if you go back to the whole charge or the series of charges against

i know it's rupert murdoch, blah, blah, blah you read the editorial there you don't think a reasonableal opponent using the justice system >> for sure legal experts will tell you that the four cases, like this was the least convincing, which given the swiftness of this verdict doesn't bode very well for the trump legal team on some of these other cases. but, yeah. what you just said that's a pretty good forward of what we'll hear our trump tower today. a preview what we'll hear between now and july 11th when former president trump is sentenced and why becky talks at the top about the fabric of the country. but that's the concern that during these weeks, months, like, the debate at a time when the country has outside threats, threats from inside. not talk about the future. about what's been done in these cases. >> not just hearing it out of trump tower. you're hearing it from -- i read in an elon musk quote, reasonable people that are horrified about how this happened. >> and unreasonable person in the world recently. >> hasn't been recent. mike i don't see -- talking to mike and you're
