Weinstein, only after more actresses stepped up to say he harassed them, too. Gwyneth paltrow, angelina jolie, mira sorvino and more. Welcome to risk reward, im elizabeth macdonald. The socalled arbiters of American Culture, the ugly underside of both tonight. Fans expect movies and football to be an escape from all things political. Now at risk of getting sacked by millions of fans across the country. Both are at risk of fans leaving due to cord cutting and streaming. Hitting the ratings across the board. The nfl polling on protests almost universally terrible. Ticket sales and ratings slipping and sliding. Hollywood just saw its Worst Summer Box Office in 25 years. When the u. S. Is just getting out of recession. Fans value the moment of unity when we can put aside all of our agendas and come together simply as americans, thats what the nfl and hollywood are ignoring. People like to stand before the flags in unity. Sports fans want to cheer on teams and movie fans like the unity of enjoying a movie. Anything that steals that moment from fans and both the nfl and hollywood like to applaud themselves for shining a spotlight on everything but themselves as the latenight hosts stay silent. David webb joins me now. Good to see you. Good to see you. Liz the real war on women is in hollywood and the nfl, what do you think . The numbers play out and the nfl got themselves in trouble by going contrary to the American People. You and i have talked about this before. It is a business story because the business of football was what was really taking the hits and not just about next weeks game, they were looking at super bowl purchases. With playoff purchases. They were looking at the business of it. Looking at the ticket sales, fan disenchantment, looking at Product Sales going down and projections didnt look good so they were losing the culture war, in effect, i guess you could say President Trump made the nfl take a knee. When it came to taking a knee against the American Flag. Liz you know, President Trump, looks like he was totally right about this. He did praise nfl owners for requiring players to stand for the anthem saying, quote, a big salute to jerry jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys who will bench players who disrespect the flag. Stand for the anthem or sit for the game. Espn analyst steven smith admitting the president is winning the debate. Listen. Hes the one thats winning because hes turned this into something the players didnt intend to. Theyre going to have to find a different level, a different mechanism to make their voices heard, trump has won this round. Liz what do you think . You know, except for the fact, and i know stephen, hes a good guy, straightforward. Except for the part trump turned it. I dont think President Trump turned it, he highlighted it, emac. When you look at the fact where Colin Kaepernick started was a protest against Police Shootings of blacks as he saw it, wrongful shootings, and there are some of those, to be fair. They never turned around and protested the policeman standing on the sidelines guarding them. They turned against the American Flag, and no matter what side you come from. The fact is disrespect for the American Flag is how most americans see it, and when you do, that youre going to lose the argument. On top of the fact, if you lose the locker room as kaepernick did and others, theres discord, and one man who turns it in pittsburgh, alejandro villareal, im going to stand for the flag. That turned the conversation on him. Liz joe namath was on varney co. Earlier today, a football star. He said white people have not walked in africanamericans shoes. We get that. But what were talking about is basically the hypocrisy of the moment and whether or not if you stand for the National Anthem, does that mean youre for racism and oppression. The American People dont agree with that. What do you say, david . Nations arent perfect. Weve had imperfections over the years but the hypocrisy is not understanding the history in full context. In 150 years, we as a nation have referred the course for the world oslavery, on colonial slavery, and people see the good that comes out of understanding where we came from, the time in its millieu and the Founding Fathers and the where we are today. We deal with racism, it still exist bus need to move forward as a country. Liz we got to get to hall of famer and legendary bears coach mike ditka sounding off. Lets take a listen to what he is saying. Think you have to be color blind in this country. Look at a person what he stands for and what he produces. All of a sudden its a big deal about oppression. Theres been no oppression in the last 100 years, i dont care how much money you make, if you dont respect this country, go to another country and play football. If you cant respect the flag in this country, you cant respect what this is all about. Audios. Liz heres joe namaths counterpoint. Lets listen. Its a National Dialogue now more on the flag, on patriotism, but the oppression, or the unjust treatment of others has fallen in the background here. We havent heard that part. So you disagree with mike ditka, he says there hasnt been oppression in the last 100 years. Look up the meaning of oppression. Look up the definition of oppression and you understand its obviously taken place. Liz its taken place, but mr. Webb, david webb, are nfl players, have you seen any of them take a knee for speaking out against Domestic Violence or drunk driving . Well, to be fair, ive seen some players, i know a lot of the players are taking a stance. Liz are they taking a knee . No, not taking a knee but taking a stance. They havent taken a stand on the issues and gone out into the communities as much as they could if they are that united every sunday before the game or thursday before a game, be united during the week. Go out into the communities, use your millions of dollars, pool it, you dont have to use millions, use some of it. Go out and build organizations, help the community. Liz 100, nearly 100 Domestic Violence cases since the year 2000, thats what nfl players have been charged with. Nearly 100. And higher arrest rate than they should have as organization or as such a broad organization. They need to focus on key issues in america if theyre going to do that, otherwise, like you said earlier, we want football, fun, barbecue, we want beer and wings. Liz you know what, david, take a knee after a touchdown do, it then, leave the flag and the anthem alone. Absolutely. Liz david, we got to leave it there. Thank you so much. Democrats have had a love affair, this story, Harvey Weinstein, liberal hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein in the pachlt take a listen. He is a wonderful human being. A good friend, and just a powerhouse. He and i have been friends for a very, very long time. Hes amazingly talented but amazingly charitable. Liz we have this, Top Democrats bill and Hillary Clinton, the obamas, nancy pelosi, joe biden have stayed silent on Harvey Weinsteins growing Sexual Harassment scandal. The New York Times says weinstein harassed 8 women, the new yorker says 13, and now the list of names keep growing. Angelina jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, mira sorvino Roxanna Arquette. Releasing this statement her statement made no mention of returning contributions from the Clinton Foundation, back to Harvey Weinstein. Since the year 2000 weinstein raised or donated combined 2. 5 million to the democrats. Ask yourself this is it brave for hillary and others to speak truth to the fact after the person is shown the door in the late night hosts of saturday night live didnt take on Harvey Weinstein because he is a hollywood power broker. Atm to progressive democrats and causes. Even though it wasnt open secret in hollywood for years he was an industrial strength sexist misogynist. Democrats and late night hosts finding their voices and breaking silence until he was getting shown the door. These are the moral arbiters for america, or will americans remember this point in time that this is when these power brokers exposed for miserably failing to take on a serial abuser of women. Take it to the political power panel. Ford oconnell and democrat strategist danielle mclaughlin. Will hillary and the Clinton Foundation return the weinstein donations . Thats a great question, i dont know what shes going to do. Im glad she said she was shocked and horrified by what happened. Liz those are just words, right . Actions matter. What did President Trump say, he said i figured im not surprised by any of this. Where is the leadership from the in the. Liz where is the leadership wait a minute, danielle, timeout. Hillary clinton basically said the respect and dignity of women was on the ballot in 2016, and here she sits quiet for five face and says nothing, the hypocrisy is glaering. Had Hillary Clinton become president , i promise you two things, one, this story wouldnt have come out, not from the New York Times, and Harvey Weinstein all over the white house. Liz why do you they . Because the New York Times buried this story ten years ago. Ask the cofounder of the rap, she talked about this on tucker carlson. She was told not to do the story and ten years later. Liz no matter who is in the white house. You want a bet they wouldnt have . You want a bet they wouldnt have . That would have been a tie to Hillary Clinton. Liz we want to get to this story. News week said malia obama interned for Harvey Weinsteins company months before the scandal broke. Is that why the obamas are so silent on this . The fact that you would impugn the dignity liz no one is impung, were asking a question, why the obamas silent . Thats a fact. Were not impugning anything, were asking the question. Why are they silent about this . We are now seeing so many women who have been sexually assaulted by this guy. As a woman, a mother and sister, im not defending this in any way, shape, or form, so many gop operatives say Hillary Clinton dont talk about anything. President obama dont be a shutup president , dont stay in d. C. When. Its ugly for democrats liz wait. Where is the leadership here . There is no leadership because Harvey Weinstein had his tentacles in everyone. He donated 2 billion under his own name since 2000. Why is joe biden quiet . Why is why is the president of the United States quiet too . How much money did he receive from Harvey Weinstein . Honestly. I knew im not surprised. Liz you are upset about the weinstein scandal, right . Of course. Of course. Liz you have been speaking out about it, right . Im here tonight. I am speaking as an individual, as somebody who shares many of the political views. Liz can you imagine if your daughter who was in that situation with Harvey Weinstein . I would be livid. It goes further than this, guys, guys, heres the point, everyone stayed silent for ten years or longer, the statute of limitation over the victims who may have a claim is now run. The real crime is on the people who stayed quiet because the people who got abused, allegedly, cannot reap justice. Liz have you heard, the womens march, are they going to march on hollywood now . Of course not. It was always about trump, not womens rights. Liz this is where the womens war is, its in hollywood. The rest of the country how to act and think and behave and theyre doing this . Really . They arent. Hes doing it. Liz this is rampant throughout the industry if you talk to people in the industry. Rampant across the professional world. You have to deal with this. How old we know its a lot worse . Because powerful men control the studios and impressionable young women want to become actresses and they take advantage of the position. We know how it. Got passionate there. That was fun. This store these, is a really serious terrible story happening. Deadly wildfires continue to rage across Northern California. At least 15 people have died. Basically 100,000 acres of land, so many homes destroyed. 20,000 residents forced to evacuate. Our own Hillary Vaughn on the ground in this area all day long. Hillary, how bad is it now . Reporter liz, there is smoke and ash in the air, but we are several miles away from where the fires are burning. President trump has approved a major disaster declaration for Northern California, which means fema is on its way with tools and resources to help with not only search and rescue but help remove rubble and get California Wine country and home owners back on their feet after fires swallowed up homes, businesses, ripping up vineyards, leaving them bur need ash and rubble. Here is the president addressing the fires today. Napa has been hit so hard, and sonoma, as they deal with the tragic loss of life and property to devastating wildfires. I spoke with Governor Brown last night to let him know that the federal government will stand with the people of california and we will be there for you in this time of terrible tragedy and need. Reporter 2000 buildings damaged and 20,000 evacuated. The california Highway Patrol used helicopters to airlift at least 40 people to safety. Some vineyard workers that were trapped. Calfire chief says they have access to almost every firefighting aviation asset and pumped a record amount fire retardant from the air. 266,000 gallons have been released so far. As firefighters battle the flames from the ground and the above. We talked to several owners in the napa area, neighborhoods have been decimated. Houses burned to the ground and nothing left but the chimneys. Take a listen. Its like a bomb had gone off. Its like its worse than the fire. Theres nothing left in my entire neighborhood. My house survived. My barn burned but my neighbors. Yes, their house are gone. Reporter damage is assessed but the blaze is dealing a heavy blow to the regions two. Major industries, wine and tourism. The fire toiled have an effect on the Wine Industry for years. California produces about 85 of the wine in the country and with several major vineyards burned in the middle of harvest, consumers could be facing long shortages of wine grapes. Were here at the napa fairgrounds which is serving as a makeshift nexus for all firefighter departments across the state and outside the state, they have deployed here to battle the flames, liz, but setting up tends because the job is going to last well through the night into tomorrow. Liz be safe out there. Thank you so much. Next up, al sharpton jumping on the jemele hill suspension, protesting in front of espn headquarters blasting espn over her suspension.
