time warner was the content. no conflict there. steve bannon, now out the door or going to be, didn't like cnn. and, of course, time warner was the parent company of cnn. now, it looks like this may go through. at&t and time warner entering an advanced phase of the $85 billion merger but does it all hinge still on cnn? ashley webster with who might be lining up to buy cnn if it is on the chopping block. wasn't it steve bannon who didn't like this thing because it competed with breitbart and attacked the president on occasion? >> reporter: absolutely, a long laundry list where bannon didn't like cnn and opposed to the merger between at&t and time warner. bannon is gone now, from what we understand, this merger is in advanced talk. maybe part of the concession to the antitrust folks is that time warner spins off cnn. so as you say, who will be interested in cnn? i don't mean that sarcastically, who would be interested in cnn? who would be interested in cnn? cbs, long rumored that cbs would be very interested in the cable news channel

i'll make that mark in blood right now if you want. >> what would ol' solomon warner do?great granddaddy would tell him to sit tight. he's positive the frontier merchant is somewhere off in the sunset, grinning. >> for him to know that his jeans that he left after his passing were worth $50,000, i think he would think the world has gone crazy. >> now, that's some tailor-made "close" from an heir not only left big shoes to fill, but a big pair of pants to boot. >> everybody has a pair of their favorite super-comfortable, worn-out jeans, right? these are mine. i can't believe i'm wearing them on a shoot, but i wonder what old levi strauss would think of clothing stores selling pre-ripped denim, often at two or three times the cost of a pristine pair. what's up with kids these days -- too lazy to wear out their own jeans? i'm jamie colby. thanks for watching "strange inheritance." and remember -- you can't take it with you. >> she's a jet-setter in the golden age of travel... >> pan am flight attendants were iconic. >> did she fit the bill? >> i think shecreatedthe bill. >>

he recently sat down with margaret warner. >> warner: you write in this book that the night osama binaden was announced to have been killed you were home alone. and then instead of feeling jubilation you felt troubled. why was that? >> i was happy that we finally got him and a lot of my colleagues and friends that i know sacrificed so much, some of them their lives, you know, finally can rest, you know, knowing that he's dead. but also at the same time i kind of was troubled that we are now not fighting an organization anymore. the terrorists, the threat, mutated to a message. he accomplished something way bigger. he had a message that was spreading around the muslim world and around the arab world. unfortunately, on may 2, 2011, we killed bin laden but we did not kill his message. his message lives. >> warner: now the world has been focused for the last five years or so on islamic state. >> yep. >> warner: major move to get rid of their territorial caliphate. when that's accomplished, what then? >> see, we forget that the islamic state basically was a branch of al-qaeda that used to

so i think it's extremely dangerous. >> warner: what can these two powers do now to avoid that track? >> what you would wish and hope, is that there was adult supervision. now of course, we know in international affairs, there's not adult supervision. it's an anarchy and there's nobody on top of xi jinping or donald trump. but if they should sit down and just say, "let's for a moment, stand back from the situation. neither of us want war, there's a little pipsqueak country between us that's taking actions that may drag the two of us somewhere we don't want to go. let's think about it and look at it. and apart from the thucydides and dynamic, apart from the fact that there's zero level of trust between the two parties." when the chinese look at this situation, they think, "well, you shouldn't even be in the korean peninsula. if you weren't there, there wouldn't be a problem." and we look and say, "korea's one of the most successful countries in the world. it's really a poster child of the post-world war ii project to build a new international order. it's a democracy, market economy, so

they own time warner cable, and warner music, and time inc., - all those magazines, right? and turner, and cnn, and so forth, and digital music, for example, should have been led by that company. they owned aol, they owned warner music, owned time warner cable, not led by apple, that was launched later. so it was missed opportunity by not working together, as one company. - yep. - and then second with aol, it was all first and foremost about community. we used to say that the killer app of the internet, is people. and some of that focus on people, has been lost over the last decade. they shipped it to more of a focus on content, versus the focus on community. so the two lessons are with a combined company, even though it's hard when you have that scale, play offense, lead into the future, hopefully this book will be helpful for bug companies trying to think about the future, - yep. - instead of ignoring the future, or just hoping the future won't happen, they embrace it and figure out a way to partner with the entrepreneurs, and the other is recognizing that the core of the

the top democrat on the senate intelligence committee, senator mark warner, is complaining that even though the administration keeps saying there is nothing to the russian story, they don't act that way at all. senator warner tells cnn it seems a bit strange, he says, that the president of the united states helped draft the statement that, quote, intentionally deceived the american people. we're following all of the conflicting stories also coming out of north korea right now. senator lindsey graham says president trump told him war with north korea may be inevitable. graham also says the president told him that if thousands are going to die, it will be, quote, over there. but just this afternoon during an extremely rare news conference, secretary of state rex tillerson said the u.s. does not want regime change and told the north koreans, quote, we are not your enemy. we're covering all of that, much more this hour, with our guests, including senator chris murphy, key democrat on the foreign relations committee. our specialists are also standing by. let's start with senior white hous

warner talk about something that is very, very important.tarting with the basics, are the teachers actually in school, are they actually delivering the lessons that the children need? i mean, there are some studies by the world bank where we highlight there are significant times that are not the instruction of time in many countries in the region. and that is definitely a big issue. we'll see some of the models that we talk about like bridge international, and twice addressing the issue of accountability and making sure that at least the teacher is sitting in front of the students and delivering a lesson, for 50, 55 minutes if we're talking about an hour lesson. obviously in the context of this learning crisis it is important to have solutions and to really i mean, do what minister warner talked about both reforms. i mean, aiming to do things that maybe challenge a little bit. obviously, we cannot but agree with the evidence that was approached which was mentioned and that is a very important point i think that was raised. i mean, in order f

liverpool and birmingham are hoping to replace durban as hosts and the chairman of london 2017, ed warnerave money. but at the world athletics championships last night, foster said although it is a fantastic stadium, warner's suggestion just wouldn't work. has he gone mad? if you're holding the commonwealth games in birmingham oi’ the commonwealth games in birmingham or liverpool, you think they will let the athletics being london? forget it, that was silly. at the end of the day, this is the stadium, this is the gold nugget in the sport. there is another one, isn't anywhere else. if i was the head of world athletics i would be looking at the rule book saying, how quickly, get back there? another major event came to an end at the weekend — the special olympics in sheffield. over 2,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities competed. here's a look at some of the highlights. this time it's been a great atmosphere, the fans, though, radu e of the athletes and everything, it's been absolutely phenomenal. i'm a swimmer. to me it's all about taking part on being included. best go for it, it's

senator warner has traveled to facebook headquarters in california.le he won't discuss specifics of the meeting, he tells cnn he wants to know whether the trump campaign helped russians to target fake news to specific facebook users. >> i'd like to look into the activities of the trump digital campaign. i will point out this, facebook, which basically denied any responsibility around our elections, by the time the french elections took place this spring, they took down 30,000 fake sites. >> reporter: fake sites spreading fake news, mostly negative about hillary clinton. the democratic theory? somehow, the trump campaign and russians colluded to do it. >> go ahead and tell me what we see right here. >> caller: this is why it matters. look at this program that tracks social media. you can clearly see the explosion of completely fabricated stories, fake news, in the months just before november's election. >> fall became so much of a problem. >> caller: gabrielle a contest str strategist says fake news spiked in months before the election, fabricated stor

this deal would give at&t and time warner immense amount of power. rival media companies say too much power. time warner could favor in-house programing and leave them out in the cold. however, at&t saying, listen this is whole new media landscape. we need to be stronger to compete with tech titans, googles, amazons spending billions on their own content. we understand yes, that antitrust decision may be chose to giving a green light. the question under what conditions? a lot of speculation time warner will have to sell off some assets and spin off perhaps cnn, which raises all sorts of questions. how much would cnn be valued at. one analyst says 10 billion. others say it is too small amount. it could go for more. who would buy cnn? cbs is interested. les moonves was at sun valley last man, saying yeah, i'm interested in cnn we're getting ahead of ourselves. bottom line, opposition from president trump when he was candidate trump, steve bannon, all that said, appears under certain conditions, this deal, $85 billion could get some sort of a green ligh

>> let's talk about mark warner. >> to your issue. you brought it up. leaks are something that is always of a concern who somebody who is damaged by them. the president of the united states when he was running, he loved leaks. he literally shouted out he loves wikileaks. he wanted them to go find hillary clinton's e-mails. he was not a defender of confidentiality then. now he is because he has been aggrieved by it. >> i want to state for the record who mentioned hillary clinton again. >> what's in the transcript. he seems to dismiss this as a political device, the president of mexico. that's what's in this leaked transcript. he says that the wall is the least important thing we're talking about. it only matters politically. >> senator warner is saying today, is absolutely correct, and he probably reflects the views of millions of americans where you cannot have national security imperiled because they are cute. by leaking confidential conversations. >> the substance of the leak is another, and you know this conversation that you brought up between the m

i guess i was very much struck by mark warner's comments. i think i voted against mark warner many times for governor and senator. >> we won't tell him that. >> he knows. but he was very good today and the point that was very useful, it's very important other people make the case. and look, president trump said what he's said. i don't think he's going to go further. but senator tom cotton had a statement, he's in the balkins on a congressional delegation looking at the situation there. very strong statement denouncing white supremacists. tom core t cotton, called conte little men, racially bigoted. i think it's important other senators, members of congress and the conservative movement as a whole make clear that there is a bright line between conservatism, we can debate a million issues, limited government, voting -- whether we should have same-day voting or voting or two weeks. that's a different kind of issue from denouncing this sort of thing. so i think it's really enough with president trump, is my view. he's done what he minimally had

and cnn under time warner, we know what mr.mp thinks of cnn. this deal is moving along and at&t hopes the department of justice will issue report at the end of the next month and saying these are the conditions we would like to see fulfill in order for this to go through. it appears according to the journal that mr. trump has yet to put up a road block, we shall see. stuart: maybe one of the stipulations is that they sell off cnn. i don't know that for a fact. >> that's the rumor. stuart: if that were the case i would be interested what price cnn attaches to it. where are we? we are actually -- market is coming down a little bit more. please remember we were down 1.2% yesterday, that would be 274 points. we are going to open down a little bit today, stay was, please. that market opens very shortly. we will take you there for the opening bell. it's a big deal. today, we're out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. you have type 2 diabetes, right? yes. so let me ask you this... how does diabetes affect your heart? it doe

at&t says the merger with time warner will allow them to compete.e department of justice will do. one little point on all of this, the antitrust division of the justice department doesn't have a head right now. has yet to be appointed. so that doesn't help either. but i think we'll know towards the end of the next month whether the deal is approved or not. gerri: ashley webster, thank you for that report. >> reporter: my pleasure. gerri: bannon is out of the white house, could the legislative win lead to more records? why that would happen sooner than you think. after this. don't let dust and allergens get between you and life's beautiful moments. flonase outperforms the #1 non-drowsy allergy pill. it helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause symptoms. pills block one and 6 is greater than 1. flonase changes everything. cameras. introducing the newly redesigned gla suv. at a price that'll make you feel like you've gotten away with something. the 2018 gla. lease the gla250 for $359 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz.
