i want to talk about the proposed at&t and time warner merger. joining me is brian stelter and michael zeldon. just when you thought it couldn't get more interesting, here we go. rudy giuliani is getting the president in hot water. >> rudy giuliani quoted in an interview with the huffington post saying the president denied the merger. five simple words that have a significant meaning. they contradict everything we have been told up until now about why at&t and time warner were sued to stop this deal. let's go back 18 months. the deal is announced during the campaign. president trump, then candidate trump, opposed the deal. when he came into office, there were questions whether he would try to interfere. the white house denied that. so did the justice department. when the government did sue to block the deal, the doj said, no way trump was involved. this was a decision made by career officials working for what was best for consumers. there's been a denial trump was involved. now rudy giuliani comes along and tells huffington post, the president de

and supporters on wall street forus against shares of time warner haven't really suffered much since the cohen affair came to light is a sign investors see the eight hundred thousand time warner tie up as doomed anyway all that the cohen issue is purely political well at the end it's not the decision of donald trump at this point if the deal comes through or not but the whole case is a debate over is there a justice department under decision here is to do probably on june twelfth but so far wall street does not believe that the whole cohen affair is going to affect their decision if the deal will be approved or not otherwise probably you would have seen some pressure on the stock of time warner as they're getting bought by eighty and eighty four eighty five billion dollars at least that's the plan for now and a t. and t. is not alone also homma pseudocode company and admitted that it was a mistake to actually hire cohen sir firm and at the end to pay about one point two million dollars and also there it's probably not going to have a lasting image effect on nov artist at this point o

this time, on the at&t and time warner merger. time warner is the parent company of cnn. saying on friday trump personally denied the deal. the white house scrumping in to damage control mode this morning, saying not the case. then one hour later, giuliani scrambling to clarify his original comments. cnn's boris sanchez live for us at the white house. what's going on? >> fred, that is a question that some here at the white house have begun asking themselves after rudy giuliani yet again weighs into territory he should not be getting involved in. giuliani was brought in to help defend the president in the special counsel probe and yet again he's forced to clarify remarks about something off topic. this all started when giuliani spoke with the huffington post about a payment made to michael cohen by at&t to help sort of grease the

president trump has been quite vocal on time warner and at&t, and some of the others. not so with some of the others. give us not so with some of the others. give us the background on all of this. as i mentioned earlier, a lot of this is to do with the disruption netflix has caused. it is not as netflix any more, there are many players in the market things like apple tv and others who want a piece of the action. correct. the media landscape is shifting. with millions of consumers cutting the cord and opting for netflix, traditional media players are scrambling and battling for entertainment assets. 0ne battling for entertainment assets. one of the there is a scarcity of assets, so time warner being acquired acquired by at&t, that is a prize asset. after that, there are smaller assets in the market, like lions gate, they don't have the scale. there is a lot of money around. there are big players. we have rupert murdoch in there. we have rupert murdoch in there. we have comcast, et cetera. it is a tough question to ask you, but who do you think the winners and losers wil

senator warner: i want to start with clearance reform. i think you recall when we had the hearings, bipartisan agreement the system is broken. 740,000-plus on the backlog. this is a security risk. this is an economic risk in terms of our ability to brief companies. i would like you to give us an update if o.m.b. is on the team and try to make this a priority and we had some discussion that that large number backlog you were going to be able to cut a democrat matic amount of that back -- dramatic amount of that backlog in a short amount of time. mr. evanina: yes, as a matter of fact, subsequent to our process back in march and our trusted work force with our partners, o.m.b., d.o.d., host of other organizations, departments, we have been working diligently to provide this committee and the government with two specific things. number one, a dramatic reduction to the backlog. number two, the development of a new business process of how we will vet qualified citizens in the u.s. in an agile, expeditious manner. at the same time to make sure t

the president, we know, has been pretty vocal about this at&t/time warner merger.e's also been vocal about cnn, which is a subsidiary of time warner who he has called fake news. listen to what he said at a recent rally about the issue of this merger. >> at&t is buying time warner and, thus, cnn, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few. >> so the president there seemed to claim that this was about antitrust, about reducing the amount of concentration of power in the marketplace and also back in november, raj shah, the deputy press secretary for the white house also denied in a statement that the president had spoken to anyone at the department of justice about the merger and he added that no one in the white house was authorized to talk about this merger with the justice department as well. so the question remains right now, is rudy giuliani out on a limb, or did he reveal something that perhaps he wasn't supposed to, which is that the president did have a hand in the decision of the justic

senator warner: i want to follow up. november 4, fwife. >> with the been fight of hindsight, do you believe the program was consistent with american values? >> senator, as we sit here today, and with some distance between us and the events of 9/11, the congress and indeed our nation has had an opportunity to have a debate about the interrogation standards we want to use as the united states of america. we have decided to hold ourselves to a striggetter moral standard for d.o.d. that is entified in the army field standard. and i support the army field manual. senator warner: that is not answering. we are asking you to take on a position. i understand. you were downdreaming it. but if you are entrusted, i need to get a sense of what your moral code says about those actions because there is a potential that this president could ask you to do something that he believes in these procedures and asked you to do something that is not directly related to detention and interrogation, but if he asked you to do something that is mor

, not many conditions attached, keeping time warner, there's a lot of talk in washington and on wallt. washington meaning the telecom lobbyists that the chief economist of comcast is leaning towards making a bid and trying to upend the disney-fox deal. the bid would be for the fox assets that disney is supposed to be buying. comcast put in a bid been the fox deal was announced, it was rejected by twenty-first century fox. they didn't think it could pass regulatory muster, that was the excuse or predicated their dismissal on of that bid. apparently it was a higher bid. if you can show that the regulatory environment is different now post at&t and time warner that the courts much more friendly and for comcast to build out it's a vertical media company like at&t and time warner, and the courts are positive on that, what people are saying in washington and wall street is brian roberts is likely, not definitely going to do it, but likely make the bid for the twenty-first century fox assets, which is essentially most of our company except for fox business, fox news and other operations. th

disney, it applies to fox. >> so let's say at&t time-warner deal goes through as expected. the murdochs have to choose between these two offers as they are right now. you don't think disney is going to standstill on this is what you're saying? they haven't turned down a deal that is an all cash deal $10 billion more than the current deal you have at hand. >> the murdochs i'm sure are going to be thrilled there's a bidding war here that breaks out if i'm then, what's to lose here under the circumstances a better price. it's true, iger is right, there's a deal in place. we all know until a deal closes, a deal can be broken for a price. it looks like comcast may be willing to pay that. there's also not a whole lot of downside for comcast either they get the assets maybe at what they were willing to pay anyway or force disney to substantially up the ante. that hurts one of their major competitors. the rivalry there goes back to the hostile takeover bid in 2004 the thing about disney and comcast compete on the comcast side disney distributes through comcast cable network. so the

this time on the at&t and time warner merger. time warner is the parent company of cnn. giuliani originally saying friday trump personally denied the deal. the white house jumping into damage control this morning saying not the case. then one hour later, giuliani scrambling to clarify his original comments. cnn's abby phillip joins me from the white house. abby, what's going on? >> reporter: good morning, fred. this all began because rudy giuliani was trying to defend president trump against accusations that he was unduly influenced by his personal attorney, michael cohen, who had been paid by a bunch of corporations, including at&t, to lobby on their behalf. now in an effort to defend trump, giuliani made a statement that really contradicted everything the white house has been trying to say about this at&t/time warner merger, which has gone all the way to the courts as the government tries to stop it from going forward. he said this in an interview with the huffington post. trump denied the merger. he said specifically the president himself was involved in that. then th

and time warner could demand the d.o.j. argued the newly merged entity might simply expand market share by keeping the content for itself the eighty five billion dollar merger will now be in the hands of federal judge richard leon who has seemed skeptical of the key premises of the government's and i trust case. and more news on wal-mart's shifting strategy to conquer new. market share in india last week we reported on wal-mart's plan to acquire india's top online retailer flipkart putting the arkansas based real tailor in a position to challenge amazon in that emerging market now the wall street journal reports that the flip side of wal-mart's play for india is a move to divest itself of hundreds of stores in brazil and the u.k. wal-mart reported plans to sell about jordi stake in its united kingdom's base grocery store chain as the to competitor j. sainsbury while keeping a forty percent stake as well as selling a controlling stake in its brazilian business advent it to advent international wal-mart currently operates six

giuliani used the example of at&t's proposed merger with time warner. now the justice department blocked that merger. they sued to try to stop it because they said it would harm consumers. but giuliani said in his interview with the hufgton post that it was the president who denied that merger. that matters because the justice department is supposed to operate independent of the president. and they said they sued to block the merger without any sort of interference from the president or any sort of political bias. rudy giuliani's comments fly in the face of that. in fact, even a sworn affidavit from the head of the anti trust division for the justice department saying that he was not influenced at all by the president or the white house or anybody involved. but now rudy giuliani is saying that, in fact, donald trump himself was the one who denied this merger. the question now is what at&t will do with this information. a judge is currently taking his time deciding whether this merger can go through or not. we're expecting that decision june 12th. at&t c

at&t and time warner in particular, that has been going on for a long time.he spreads those investors look for tend to be pretty thin. they are taking the capital and moving it elsewhere. it is a real liquidity issue. that is what we seek to we will put up transactions and we will see talk to -- stock turnover in the announcement date. >> they will be going out for smaller declines. sluice through the m and a business? >> first of all, the answer is yes, first of all, what we have put together is a dedicated -- dedicated group to the market. relationship people and m&a execution people. the m&a part of this is a sponsor side. we found that to be attractive. have somebody senior and experienced to has done this the whole career. instead of having the sponsor -- those before it -- portfolio companies, make sure someone is dedicated to the manager team that will work in conjunction so you get the best of both worlds. you have morphed a lot. activists have been with us for decades. it is different flavors. $150 worth of dedicated capital. every year, there is a n

tea time warner tie up as doomed anyway all that the cohen issue is purely political. well at the end it's not the decision of donald trump at this point if the deal comes through or not but the whole case is a debate it was the justice department and a decision here is due probably on june twelfth but so far wall street does not believe that the whole. affair is going to affect their decision if the deal will be approved or not otherwise probably you would have seen some pressure on the stock of time warner as they're getting bored by eighty and eighty four eighty five billion dollars at least that's the plan for now and h.m.t. is not alone old saw his home a suitable company in the virus has admitted that it was a mistake to actually hire cohen's firm and at the end to pay about one point two million dollars and all saw there it's probably not going to have a lasting image effect because at this point ok speaking of pharmaceuticals donald trump wants to drive down drug prices what does he want to do and what can he do there he had a pretty big appearance here on frid

secretary warner was able to champion this military mobile voting solution that we just employed for the may 8th primary election. we don't have all of the details done but on your tables is a report, early report, coming out the first deployment, if you will, of a military mobile voting solution in the country focused on voters. the pilot project white paper is also on your table as well as the initial findings. there's a comprehensive audit that still needs to be done. you will notice that there were 13 -- this is a very small subset pilot, just in two counties, we obviously know that mobile voting has been on the minds of secretaries and chief election officers for a very long time as well as constituency groups for a very long time. we thought that the mobile voting focus was a way to kind of get that started. we advo katsds after a lot of discussion and some concern, we advocated a partnership with bradley t bradley tusk which helped fund this pilot project in west virginia. lance is here with me today representing tusk montgomery philanthropies for any questions you may have. t

hbo is run independently from warner brothers which is run independently from turner. it's been a very good model. there are some things we need to do to drive value into the combined businesses as you think about advertising models and what whatnot. but you have to be disciplined to let them do what they do best >> eventually you'll have a roseanne barr issue that creates a kind of problem and it can bubble up to whoever is your jeff bewkes. is it going to come up to you? are you going let someone below you make that decision >> it would be a rare situation that it would bubble up to me. bob iger engaging on the roseanne barr situation, that's a no brainer, right? he dealt with that and he dealt with it quickly. tough admire how he did it but those are the kind of things you can see escalating although one must question if that needs to go to ceo of disney to make that decision. >> would you have fired roseanne barr >> i can't imagine how you would not. >> thank you for the direct response to that question. that's nice. we like that let's talk about the deal that you

owned time warner inc. and part of time warner cable. so their antitrust laws and other law is already in place to anti-competitive context. iss is not just a matter of the deal allowed or not, i think at&t has done a terrific job of litigating the government. that is important to know. at&t offered up a baseball style arbitration, which means if there is a dispute be present to options and each side presents an option and the arbitrator picks one. there is no sweating the baby. it forces both sides to the middle. before we close, one more topic. there is a move in the senate to use the congressional review act to revise net neutrality. robert: to revive title ii. [laughter] gigi: we only have a few minutes. robert: here we go again. we'll do the duty extended version later for folks. this is interesting because the congressional review many years ago tried to do on regulations. this will be used to put regulations back on the high. the legalo restore structure that was in place before february, 2015, which kept the internet open and all

we saw time warner inc. as part of time warner cable. the antitrust laws of their in place that help with these conducts. plus, at&t has done a good job litigating the case and that's important to know. plus if you presented dispute you have two options for each side that the arbitrator pics one. i'm not is a very curative. >> there is a move from the senate to use the congressional review act to revise net neutrality. >> to revive title to. >> we only have a few minutes. >> so it's interesting for the congressional review to try to undo regulation. this will be used to try to put regulations back on it took off last december. tried to restore the legal structure in place which kept the internet open. and allowed the internet to explode so beautifully. there may be 50 votes in the senate. it's majority vote senator mccain is ill and unable to make it, right now there appears to be 50 votes to 49 for to go through the senate. probably not so much for to go through in the house. >> chairman pine is up to repeal the rules i will say the rul

and it's the future that at&t/time warner or building for.s the future why disney needs the assets next year they're launching their netflix competitor >> how much does comcast need to do something by the way, in fairness, should note the stock is off materially the high of comcast was $44. what are we at $32 now? >> $31 >> comcast is sitting in the driver's seat. they are the largest internet provider they don't need any more media if they don't want it. >> so the pressure on this stock is what right now? is it just an expectation that somehow -- >> $60 billion worth of debt that they're trying to raise to put in an offer. >> it was down 17% over the last year prior to this raised bid. >> that's right. >> what accounts for that number >> disney's stock is doing the same thing goes two steps forward, two steps backward they're not getting benefit for the huge landscape change that's going on in the media industry right now. legacy media is over. >> let me separate one last question for you the idea if this at&t/time warner deal is allowed to

of course time warner the parent company of us, cnn. the president had said that.a lot of feathers when you're trying to get this deal done. >> obviously. and this is a huge deal for at&t and time warner and they were clearly trying to get any sort of intel or any sort of help that they could get. but the problem here for at&t, as randall stephenson says in his note, is that it hurts their reputation, it hurts their case, because if they were talking about political bias, potentially, the reason behind this lawsuit to stop the merger and here they are dealing with michael cohen behind the scenes, as we have been saying, it stinks of the swamp that donald trump has so often said he wants to drain. >> this is two pages of crow being eaten here by the at&t ceo randall stephenson. we'll continue to read through this because it's very, very interesting. thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. >>> today the white house would like to focus on how to lower the price of prescription drugs. it affects so many americans. the president will talk a little later today. w

liz: jeff, ceo of time warner. disney's ceo bob said that roseanne does not represent disney's values. does that represent time warner's value? >> it does. that is why they done fully apologize. >> you are sayin they are okay with the use of that word? seems like it. >> it sure seems like it. they said they made a mistake, they took ownership for it but did not say, this is not what we really think, we don't promote sexism on the network. but they do. they said, hey, sorry. that is good enough. but whether someone -- liz: we don't hear that he called first daughter, toa apologize. i think have you a point. come back. conservativ.you are terrific, t. >>l let's get to nfl i did sig o penalize on field personnel including team members who do not stand and show respect for the flag during the national anthem. a new report said you can credit president trump for the change. we have the reaction after this. l money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investme

we saw, actually, time warner inc. owned with and as part of time warner cable, right? so there are antitrust laws there already, there are other laws already in place that help prevent anticompetitive conduct, right? so in this isn't just a matter of does the deal be allowed or not. plus i think at&t's done a terrific job of litigating the case and the government not so much. and that's important to note. plus at&t offered up a baseball-style arbitration, that means you present -- if there's a dispute, you present two options. each side presents an option that the arbitrator picks one. there's no splitting the baby. so forces both sides to the middle. and that, i think, has been very curative to potential ills. >> host: before we close, one more topic. there's a move in the senate to use the congressional review act to revise net neutrality. >> guest: to revive title ii -- [laughter] internet service providers. >> guest: we only have a few minutes. >> host: i know. >> guest: i know, here we go again. [laughter] we'll do the extended play version again for folks. but, s

and remember -- you can't take it with you. [ gong chimes resonating ] senator mark warner and leading burr by the nose as they proclaim that russia interferred in the 2016 scomplekz sought to help president trump win the white house and offering absolutely no evidence to support their claim. but warner and burr failed to mention after the 14 month investigation they had no evidence of any kind of any russia collusion with the trump campaign and offered no explanation what so ever to the view that putin preferred trump. cia director john brenon and comey was not there and mr. trump fired him of course, and mr. comey declined an invitation to testify and some say that he was otherwise occupied with a booning tour. we could not confirm that and house intelligence committee found no evidence of collusion and the committee concluding it disagrees with the u.s. intelligence view that russians tried to boost trump in the presidential campaign and today, the senate judiciary committee had five hours of tell before the committee and 2000 pages of documents and still 0 evidence of collusion. ou

sources suggest a bid may only come if at&t wins its battle for time warner. a deal would give contrast over fox's movie and cable tv assets but not include the fox news division 21st century fox shares are moving higher in the premarket. >>> stock futures indicating not a huge move right now, a slide of 40 points, very early trade there. we're slightly in the red. similar story with oil oil has been a big focus and will remain so today the president saying he will announce his decision on whether or not to stay in or leave the iranian nuclear deal this afternoon. michelle caruso-cabrera will join us in moments with more on that let's get now to the news. tracie potts is in washington with more on the iranian deal story. >> good morning. in a matter of hours we could know whether the president is in or out on this he has said repeatedly since the campaign that he thinks it's a bad deal now facing a deadline in a matter of days by may 12th on whether or not to pull out if the president pulls out, we could be looking at sanctions reimposed against iran iran's pr

shares of time warner have not suffered much since this affair came to light.s this a sign that investors see this tie up as doomed anyway , or the current issue is currently political? jens: at the end it is not the decision of donald trump at this point if the deal comes through or not, but the debate with the justice department, and the decision here is due probably on june 12th. but so far wall street does not believe the whole michael cohen fair is going to affect the decision, if the deal will be approved or not. otherwise probably you would have seen some pressure on the stock of time warner as they are getting bought by at&t for $85 billion at least that is the plan for now. at&t is not alone. a swiss pharmaceutical company admitted that it was a mistake to actually higher michael cohen's firm, and to pay about 1.2 million dollars, and also there it is not going to have a lasting image affect on novartis. christopher: speaking of pharmaceuticals, donald trump wants to drive down drug prices. what does he want to do, and what can he do? jens: he had a bi

grease the wheels with the attempted merger with time wa , warner, the parent company of cnn. he said, and i quote, the president denied that merger, they did not get the result that they wanted. of course, the problem with that statement is that it contradicts everything that we've heard from the white house previously on this, over and over again, we've been told that the president has had no role in the decision by the department of justice to challenge this merger, in fact, this morning, we heard from sarah sanders, who told cnn that the president did not deny that deal, it was the department of justice who did. about an hour later, we heard from rudy giuliani. he spoke with my colleague dana bash, trying to clarify his remark, saying that the president told him directly that he did not interfere in that decision. despite these comments coming from the white house, we should point out that the president has been very vocal about his opposition to this merger and it's led to questions about his involvement in the department of justice and decisions made by a separate branch

. >> if the department of justties is -- does lose this at&t/time warner case, do you believe that it opens up the opportunity for everybody to buy everybody >> that's going to depend. the biggest insight they get is how you define the market. how you define the market tells the story in any antitrust case. if they are successful in how

>> senator warner, what i recall were the security issues surrounding the tapes.

far they've not released any evidence of russian collusion journalist joe lauria says that mark warner's approach is the one that should have been taken from the very beginning. the idea was to get trump and they have not been able to afford to get him on russia collusion and we now see that warner is saying clearly that he wants to wait all the evidence is gotten in which is what everyone's position should have been from the very beginning amongst the media and among its government and there's only been a few of us who've been skeptical of that here in the west anyway and we've gotten land for that and that's the right position all along keep an open mind to wait for the evidence but there have been thousands of articles written hours and hours countless hours of cable t.v. broadcast books written about collusion with russia went by the term campaign and now it's pretty clear that they have not come up with that evidence thanks for choosing a monday morning headlines we'll be back with the latest in about half an hour see them. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater t

time warner but but how do you think this might impact consumers. you know there's two sides to this story of course and i've you know talked to t. mobile and sprint they're going to tell you this is a great can for consumers they could put better packages together because they can lower prices because now the two organizations are together which means less new use for for the infrastructure that they have and for the amount of people that work for the two organizations also they're saying this will be much much better way for them to be able to invest into five g. technology and be able to roll it out more quickly but if you talk to consumer advocates they'll tell you a very different story and that breaks down to what we just mentioned which is competition so the less of these massive companies that you have out there the more looks like a monopoly and when something looks like a monopoly well that can sometimes end up being really bad for consumers because these three companies could of course talk together and conspire to keep their prices at a

i joined around 1985 and it got bought by warner brothers, and i became president of warner brothers television. soon after that, we had 23 shows on the air. we were leading in the number of shows. i think the next highest had like 12 shows on. but not only did we have 23 shows on the air, we had "e.r." and "friends," so we had the hottest comedy and the hottest drama in the world on television on nbc. david: let's talk about "e.r." was that your idea? where did the idea come from? how did you green light it? leslie: it wasn't my idea. "e.r." was based on a script that had been written 20 years earlier through steven spielberg's company, and michael creighton, the famous sci-fi writer had written the script. we read the script, went, made a deal with nbc, and then we produced the show. i think my major contribution to that was george clooney. david: you selected him? leslie: george was the guy that i put under contract for four years in a row. he was doing a lot of pilots. he was doing a lot of episodes. and he really wasn't getting anywhere. and i believed in him. i said this guy is
