New pressure on nike as the Company Defends its controversial decision to pull a special july 4th sneaker from store shelves. The shoe featured the betsy ross version of the american flag, a report of the former Football Player and activist Colin Kaepernick objected to the design. Nike now saying they were concerned the shoe could unintentionally offend people. Earlier on americas newsroom republican senator josh hawley taking nike to task. You look at their behavior, not just now but over decades. Shipping jobs overseas, perceiving sweatshop labor so they can get their products cheap, and then telling americans that they should like their antiamerican activism. Nikes antiamerican activism. Its really too much. Melissa Leland Vittert is live with the leafs on this. Leland . Hi, melissa. The merger of political and cultural wars continue. Now its not just republicans talking about a boycott of nike. Argus madame lipinski, one of the more conservative democrats, treated at a picture this morning saying, im sitting here working, i notice im not wearing nikes, nor will i anytie soon. Senator ted cruz of texas agrees with the boycott, tweeting he loves america, and pulling the shoes of the betsy ross flag design, and then walkawayfrom walkawayfromnike. Close close theyareofitsami tageandarecontinuing athletes introducing and supporting the u. S. Soccer team, we already employ 35 people in the United States and remain committed to creating jobs in the United States. Arizonas governor says its pulling its money to help nike build a factory in the state. To withdraw all financial incentive dollars providing for the company to relocate. Unclear if the new two milliondollar plants will go forward. But californias governor, gavin newsom, sees an opportunity. Hey, nike, we are just a quick jaunt over the border. Thank you for doing the right thing. California is open for business. There is of course a significant difference between the cost of doing business in california versus arizona. So now we have the larger political issue. The wall street journal editorial page points out that a few people helped more publicly by Colin Kaepernicks nfl kneeling campaign then President Trump, and offers that if the president wins in 2020 he should perhaps write a thank you note. Not only to kaepernick, but to nike, as well. Melissa those are great points at the end there, very true. And on the difference in the cost of doing business, also very true. Thank you for that. Fox news alert, the estranged husband of a missing connecticut mother is speaking out in his first sitdown interview. Fotis dulos conceded that he and his wife, jennifer, have their differences, but insisting that he had nothing to do with her disappearance. David lee miller is life with the details. This was some interview, david. Melissa, fotis dulos first interview since his wife, jennifer, disappear does little to explain what might have happened to that mother of five who vanished on may 24th. Fotis dulos spoke to a reporter with wnbc which said his attorneys would not let him speak about the specifics of the case. Dulos, who has been charged with evidence tampering and entering prosecution, since he knows more than he could say. I know what i have done, and i know what i havent done. So i have to stand aside and hope the truth is going to come out. Dulos acknowledges that many people believe he is guilty of something having to do with her disappearance, and he asks them to withhold judgment. I think they should wait. Statistically, when things like this happen, 95 is the spouse. I understand why people feel like this paradigm in the fiber tent im in the five or 10 category. They face charges with allegedly discarding items which contain jennifers blood. He said that its ludicrous that people believe he wanted to harm his wife. He was asked to be a message or for a family, he says i send my prayers. I had my differences like many people do when they go through marriage. It didnt work out for us but that doesnt mean i wish her ill in any way. Dulos refuses to say what he thinks happens to gender. He said they spoke occasionally on the phone and have contact with one another when dropping off the kids. Two days before she disappeared, he said they had dinner together. In a statement to fox news, dulos said, i understand the Public Perception of me as a monster given the little they know about the case, but i trust the system and the process and ask the public to do the same. Dulos remains free on half a Million Dollars bail. Melissa . Melissa all right, thank you so much for that. We are going to turn back to that case we were telling you about at the top of this show. Eddie gallagher, who is the navy seal, he is awaiting sentencing for that lesser charge. He was found not guilty on murder charges yesterday, and that has to do with the isis fighter killed in the battlefield. He has already served time while he was awaiting the process of this trial. He was convicted yesterday, found guilty on only one charge. It was the lesser charge of posing for a picture with a corpse. We are going to find out now what is going to happen as a result of that charge. Lets go to jonathan hunt. Hes back in the courtroom with more on this. Jonathan . Melissa, we are outside the court here. The jury is back in the courtroom. They are delivering chief gallagher of the news of his sentence right now. Remember, he will not serve any more jail time, because the maximum on that one charge of posing for a picture with the body of an isis fighter is four months. Hes already served nine months so he will not be going back to jail. He could lose rank and have his pension reduced. To try and avoid that, a short time ago chief gallagher actually addressed the court for the first time. He made an unsworn statement. He directly face to the jury, and he acknowledged making mistakes. He says he took responsibility for those mistakes and then said, i put a black eye on the two communities i love the most the United States marine corps, and the u. S. Navy. Obviously, as i say, he is seeking to avoid any present pt whatsoever so he doesnt lose rank and keeps all of his pension benefits in place. Earlier he spoke exclusively to fox news and says that prosecutors should never have brought this case in the first place. Lets listen here. They tried to frame me as a criminal from the getgo. We knew the truth the whole time. We knew i was innocent of these charges the whole time, and i overcame it by having my strong wife with me the whole time. And my legal team. As chief gallagher himself has acknowledged, this whole trial has done damage to the normally tightknit seal community. The younger seals were disparaged by Defense Attorneys as millennials who didnt really want to fight. They were compared to what the defense called hardcharging warrior heroes like eddie gallagher. Chief gallagher in that same interview with fox this morning had a message for those younger seals. Listen again here. I would say, to future navy seals, loyalty is a trait that seems to be lost. I would say, bring that back. You are part of a brotherhood, remember. You are there to watch her brothers back, he is there to watch your back. Just stay loyal. Just stay loyal. That, the message from chief gallagher. We expect to hear from him very shortly. As i say, the sentencing underway right now. No Electronic Devices allowed in the courtroom, melissa, so we are waiting for one of our producers to come out with an oldfashioned piece of paper and let us know where that sentencing is. As i say, there will not be any more jail time. Its merely a question of whether his rank is reduced because he is given what would be a nominal oneday and confirm it was she wouldnt actually serve, but it could impact his rank and his pension. Once the sentencing is delivered, we expect his lawyers and chief gallagher himself to contour cameras right here. It would be interesting to hear what they say. Either way, as i say, hes not going back to jail. He and his wife who has been with him every minute of this trial have already told us they are looking forward to celebrating their own particular freedom and independence on the fourth of july. Melissa . Melissa and making time for let me ask you this. He doesnt dispute he was in the photo. But is not the only one. Hes not the only one who took the photo. Is there anyone else who has been punished . No, this is a point the Defense Attorneys have made over and over again. If youre going to punish this guy with any kind of sentence for posing in a photo, how could you not have action against anyone else who was in those photos . What theyve said, melissa and pretty much anybody in the military you will talk to will say is that these kind of photographs are not uncommon. They might not be something that the military ever wants to be seen, because obviously those kind of photos can provide propaganda for enemies of the United States if they are seen widely. So nobody wants them to be published. But you would be burying your head in the sand if you told yourself that military members across the globe, not just in the United States military, take those kinds of photos. One of the points the defense has been making. Where is the logic in only chief Edward Gallagher being in charge in the first place, and then punished for taking that kind of photo . Melissa jonathan hunt, thank you for your reporting. I know you will stand by right there. We will come back to you as we get this news, because we have been following this closely and we want to know exactly what happened. So thank you for that. In the meantime, Funeral Services today for a 9 11 First Responder and former detective. This is luis alvarez before and after he was diagnosed with cancer. He died shortly after delivering dramatic testimony before congress that may have helped secure federal funding for other heroes of the attacks. A report on that ahead. Look at those pictures. Plus, democrats escalating their pressure on the rank and file in the Border Patrol after a new watchdog report warns about conditions at migrant facilities. But others say the democrats are going too far. We will speak to the Vice President of the national Border Patrol council. The idea that abuse was going on there is something that we just didnt find any signs of. In fact, the Border Agents that we met were very kind, considerate, compassionate people. Hold my pouch. Trust us. Us kids are ready to take things into our own hands. Dont think so . Hold my pouch. We like drip coffee, layovers and waiting on hold. What we dont like is relying on fancy technology for help. Snail mail we were invited to a y2k party. Uh, didnt that happen, like, 20 years ago . Oh, look, karolyn, weve got a mathematician on our hands check it out now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. Todays xfinity service. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Id rather not. [bagpipes] melissa his city saying farewell to a hero. Thousands of mourners on and for the funeral of former nypd detective luis alvarez, who fought until his final days for the extension of Health Benefits for 9 11 First Responders. He was only 53 years old. He died saturday after three years battling colorectal cancer. He blamed his illness on the three months he spent digging through the rubble at the World Trade Center after the septembe. Jesse heinrich has more from queens, new york. Jacqui . Melissa, this was a man who fought to protect others to his dying day with humility and grace. Today thousands of saluted him. 9 11 First Responder luis alvarez wasnt nypd bomb squad detective, a marine , and a father of three boys. He died of cancer saturday link to the toxins he breathed in at ground zero, searching for survivors and remains. Alvarez dedicated what was left of his life to renewing the 9 11 Victims Compensation fund, which is running out of money with more than 19,000 claims still pending. Weeks ago, the day before his 69th round of chemo, alvarez mustered his strength to go to capitol hill and one last plea for lawmakers to follow through with their promise to never forget. This fund is not a ticket to paradise. It is there to provide for our families when we cant. A group of First Responders gave alvarezs Police Badges and the majority leader mitch mcconnell, who later said he would vote on the legislation later this summer. At his funeral, nypd commissioner james oneill employed lawmakers to recognize his sacrifice and that of so many others. All he wanted in return was to have his government recognize the labor and pain of his brothers and sisters. The nypd alone lost 23 brave souls on that day. More than 500 members have contracted various ailments and lifethreatening illnesses. As of this morning, 222 of them have already died, including luis alvarez. Among those who attended the funeral, representative peter king and alexandria ocasiocortez, and jon stewart. Senator Chuck Schumer and bill de blasio attended his wig yesterday. He said he would posthumously awarded alvarez the keys to the city, the Victim Compensation fund is likely to pass. It now has more than 60 cosponsors. Melissa . Melissa jacqui heinrich, thank you. No reaction now as democrats escalate their criticism of the trump administrations handling of the migrant crisis, and specifically going after the top brass and rank and file in the Border Patrol. Democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez again comparing border detention facilities to concentration camps, and house judiciary chairman nadler said it Border Security officials should be taken out and handcuffed. This is inhuman. Frankly, i think its criminal. There are to be criminal prosecutions of some of the agency heads and some of the people, for child abuse. This is clearly childabuse. It violates probably half a dozen laws. Melissa this all comes as the deferment of Homeland SecurityInspector General released a report detailing serious overcrowding and prolonged detention in some south texas detention facilities. Casey stegall is live in dallas with the latest. Casey . Melissa, more on that Inspector General report in a second, but then you also have a component of that Facebook Group that popped up this week, that was exposed. A facebook, a private group on r current and former Border Patrol members. In it, there were vulgar depictions of migrants, and they spoke poorly of migrants. There were racist comments in there. That hundreds of that prompted some strong words from federal offic. The acting dhs secretary spoke specifically to that. We want to show you what he put out on twitter. Im quoting here. I have directed an immediate investigation, and the u. S. As the chief has made clear, any employee found a compromise the public trust in our mission will be held accountable. They do not represent the men and women of the Border Patrol or dhs. This, after reports from democratic lawmakers who toured facilities this week in texas are they detailed and humane treatment of migrants, with an explosive account of a woman being told to drink water from a toilet because there was no fresh water. But Border Patrol immediately pushed back, saying that water is always provided to those in their care, and others who have also been inside those facilities agree. Listen. Lets be clear, we definitely need to do what we can to improve the living situations they are. But the pastors and i that walk through the detention center, first of all, we saw a clean place, a safe place, a place stocked with food. The idea that abuse was going on there is something that we just didnt find any sign of. But that new Inspector General report details a much different picture. From that 15page report following a surprise visited by inspectors in june 2 Detention Centers in south texas, photos included in the government report showed people packed into cells and makeshift pens, some captions read standing room only. Inspectors deemed the situation dangerous. Now, reading from part of the report, we are concerned that overcrowding and prolonged detention represent an immediate risk to the health and safety of dhs agents and officers, and to those detained. Meantime, a growing number of protests have popped up across the country, calling for these Detention Centers to be closed and families reunited. Melissa . Melissa a lot there. Casey stegall, thank you. For more on all this, lets bring in hector garza, he is national Border Patrol council Vice President. Thank you so much for coming here. A lot to talk about. Let me start with the ig report. Have you had a chance to read it . Yes, i have. Melissa is it accurate . Its very accurate. Even coming on fox news and speaking to members of congress, and letting them know that we had a crisis for quite some time now. It started back in 2014, it slowed down and popped back up. Melissa in terms of pictures in the overcrowding, is this the worst its been . Its the worst weve seen in over 12 years. Again, weve been going for congress to act. Unfortunately, congress has failed the u. S. Border patrol and congress has failed the american public. Weve been asking for funding, resources, and just last week it was passed. It fall squarely on congress. Melissa its more of an indictment of others as opposed to those who are down there on the border . Correct. This is not reflect the men and women of the u. S. Border patrol. Our Border Patrol agents go out there every single day and make sure these people are taken care of. We are doing our best with what weve got. Something we have to make very clear, melissa, is that our agents advocate for these people when we dont have food or we are running short on water or supplies. Our agents reach out to our chief and say, hey, chief, read more diapers, more formula. Because of agents, our detainees get the care they need. Melissa but you can see the star that popped up about the Facebook Group flies in the face of it makes scenes it seem like thats not them advocating, that they are making fun of them. As far as that Facebook Group, the council condemns that behavior. What we want to make clear is that propublica identified three individuals that posted in appropriate comments. Through individuals, and those individuals come if they are found to be Border Patrol employees, though face consequences. Anywhere from suspension to termination. Melissa they will be fired . , they will face is a pla. Some kind of termination, suspension, some type of consequence. Melissa what do you think of chairman nadler saying is child abuse and people who are in charge should theyve committed crimes, and should be arrested . When will he get accused of drug cartels . They are the ones orchestrating this crisis, and numbers of congress are failing to acknowledge that we have a crisis. Democrats were saying a few months ago there was no crisis, that is manufactured. Guess what . President trump and Border Patrol agents were pushing them and asking for help. Melissa i thought reporting from Brian Kilmeade when he went on there months ago, i think it was back in may, and will sing the same thing. That it was very crowded and they needed help. What do you think is the solution . The solution is to stop encouraging illegal immigration. We need to make sure we stop and tell people, dont come to this country. Dont abuse our immigration laws. Congress has to get their act together in order for that to happen, and make changes to the law. If they dont act, this suffering and was happening at the border is just going to continue and get worse. Melissa thank you for coming on today. We appreciate your time. Thank you, melissa. Melissa the jury is in the courtroom, and Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher, who was acquitted on murder charges, is awaiting his sentencing on a lesser charge that we expect shortly. Then, gallagher is expected to speak. We are monitoring this and we will bring it to you just as soon as we get anything on it. My skin. It was embarrassing. My joints. They hurt. The pain and swelling. The tenderness. The psoriasis. I had to find something that worked on all of this. I found cosentyx. Now, watch me.

Melissa new polling shows a shift in the race for the democratic nomination, and abc News Washington post poll shows joe biden and Bernie Sanders up by double digits. But the latest quinnipiac poll tells a different tale, showing the former Vice President clinging to a slim lead over Kamala Harris. As a number of candidates at the campaign trail in iowa. Peter doocy is reporting live from des moines. Peter . Melissa, the Biden CampaignJust Announced they got outraised by mayor pete in the second quarter. Thats not exactly how they said it, but the Biden Campaign did just send word that they took in 21. 5 million in the second quarter. Thats more than 3 million less then the mayor from south bend who was virtually unknown at the beginning of this year. The bright spot for the Biden Campaign, they calculate he raised more per day than any of the other candidates in their First Quarter for a less running because he was only running for 66 days of the second quarter. Bidens lead and postdebate polls has been shrinking as both Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren are gaining ground. The former vp is coming to iowa tonight. Beto orourke already here, ahead of them. He plans to march in tomorrow. With a complaint about a much bigger parade in washington, d. C. The one President Trump is behind. We dont need to shout to be heard. We dont need to roll tanks down the streets for the rest of the world to know our strength and our might. I dont know that these kind of displays are necessary. They are certainly very expensive. Like beto, Bernie Sanders has slipped in the polls. With the democratic socialist Center Console draw a crowd. Almost 850 people showed up to his ice cube social, according to account by the des moines register. As he tries to regain ground with small donors, hes also taking selfies. In the last three months, we received 1 million individual contributions. 1 million individual contributions. 99 of them were for 100 or less. The single largest employer who we received donations from thats right, walmart. The candidate seen their star rise though since last weeks debate, Kamala Harris, is going to be here des moines in a few minutes trying to turn good debates from her debut into commitment. Melissa . Melissa peter doocy, thank you for that. The Trump Campaign raising a whopping 105 million in the second quarter, blowing past the president s democratic rivals. Campaign manager sending confidence. I think the president can beat anybody pray the moment we are seeing now, 105 million raised, cash on hand. We are seeing overall his success overseas, the momentum behind this president right now is like nothing history has ever seen. Melissa lets bring in our power panel. Monica cleary is the president of Cleary Strategies and former white house correspondence. Brad gerstman is cofounder of gotham government relations, a former consultant to new york governor eliot spitzer. What you think of how the race is shaping up so far . Specifically the money that is rolling in . Money is essential. People and i like to admit it, but as an integral part of winning races. The democrats have a disadvantage to fold. Number one, weve seen President Trump with extremely successful fundraising up until this point. The second is that this primary is only going to get uglier, dirtier, and more expensive. So whoever does come out as the victor is going to have a disadvantage, because they will have spent so much money to win that primary. Then they will have to start over again. Melissa brad, we just got Vice President bidens new numbers on fundraising, and its a haul. Hes raising more per day than anyone else if you spread it out. He is rolling in the dollars for now, and in addition to that i would say that abc News Washington post poll said that biden had the best chance of winning, 45 versus sanders 18 . I dont know that is to be a performance was great, though. Look, they will be a lot of debates. And there will be a lot of fundraising. Everyone is going to have money. Biden is going to have the money. Ive never seen a president ial race where somebody is low on cash. Unless they are not a viable candidate. Biden, we know he is that. Biden is the one who can win the swing states. Hes the one who can steal the election for the president. This follows Kamala Harris concern, i think its a little different. Shes running for Vice President and i think shes the fur under Vice President. Melissa she would take a lot of issue with that she would call you sexist and all kinds of things. Ive been called worse and i would expect her to be that way, because shes a fighter and a winner and someone who is out there and trying to do something to make some change. I think shes terrific but biden is the one who will be able to if the talk about the purple states. The purple states have to flip in the way for democrats to enact. Thats for biden. Kamala harris is a great second seat for him and i think that she has the viability as president may be in the future. Melissa you talk about the purple states, and when you talk about biden its about who can bring some from here and kind of be broad. President trump was that person in the last election in the sense that he surprised a lot of people with the coalitions that he put together. This is what Brad Parscale said, the campaign manager, and wooden coalitions. Lets listen to this. We are building out a Large Coalition program for latinos for time, black voices for term, the faith based, all kinds of different coalitions. We need to turn out those order orders. Melissa democrats laugh when you hear latinos for trump, but when you look at that el paso rally, 40 of people that were there were a latinos, reportedly. There is support there. Is that surprising support that creeps up on democrats and helps trump . I think the democrats laughing is what hurts them in 2016, and i dont think theyve learned their lesson. Sort of mocking or misunderstanding the trump voter, which in many ways continues to push Trump Supporters in the closet, if you will. We saw that with the polling and why so much of it was off in 2016. Because people were not comfortable admitting it. Because there is this weird sort of acceptance of marking trump voters, especially those from minority communities. So i think what we hear from Brad Parscale is correct. They are focusing on what they need to. Itll help them be successful, and democrats it would serve them a lesson to look back on how that did not serve them well in 2016, and to pay more attention to the very real support that trump does have from those communities. Melissa brad, real quick . If you are a trump supporter or somebody who is an independent, or a democrat that leans to the right from time to time, and you like the economy, you will vote for trump. Theres no changing that. But if you are concerned about International Affairs and about some of the other things, in relation to maybe civil rights and the rise of the skinheads and things like that, then you will be moved by biden. I think thats where the site will be, the middle. Melissa we will see. Thanks to both of you. We are awaiting the sentencing of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher who was acquitted to murder but found guilty on one lesser charge. We will give that to you just as soon as we get it. He didnt point fingers. He didnt assign blame to the actual guilty party. He knew who that justice would eventually pt almost did not. Thats a travesty. Youre headed down the highway when the guy in front slams on his brakes out of nowhere. You do, too, but not in time. Hey, no big deal. Youve got a good record and Liberty Mutual wont hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. You hear that, karen . Liberty mutual doesnt hold grudges. How mature of them for drivers with accident forgiveness, Liberty Mutual wont raise their rates because their first accident. Liberty mutual insurance. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Melissa fox news alert, we are awaiting the sentencing of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher. He was acquitted on the most serious charges against him, including the murder of an isis prisoner. He was convicted on one count of posing with a corpse. Moments ago, gallagher appealed to the court and took responsibility for posing in that photo. Andrew czajkowski is the criminal defense attorney and a formal air force judge advocate general. Thank you so much for joining us. First of all, let me ask you, were you surprised by the verdict . I was little surprise. I thought the jury was going to come back with something in the middle. I thought that they would find some credibility to what occurred, but fall short of an actual murder conviction. Melissa wow. What do you think made that not come out that way . I think they were too many people in the courtroom telling to many different stories. When you have the perfect beyond a reasonable doubt standard, its really tough to get a conviction when one person the saying one thing and another person this thing another. I think this jury just through their hands up and said, we cant tell what happened here. Melissa yeah. What you think will happen now as a result . He has already served time, but what hes really looking at here with the sentencing is having his pension reduced or being stripped of his rank. What do you think they will decide, and what factors do they way . This is such a minor charge at this point, its a general disorder. It means that he wasnt acting as they expect a person than that rank to be acting. So i dont think he is looking at anything really significant. The one thing i think they are fighting over is whether they will be reduced in rank, which would ultimately affect his retirement. They will go after him after this through administrating add stripping off his retirement, but at this point that would be an awfully bold move. I dont think they will do that. Melissa to a navy seal, thats not minor. Taking we are rank. Obviously theres financial consequences to that. So he is still fighting for something significant. How are they going to weigh that sort of thing and decide . It is something very significant trade the reduction of rank here would cost him come over the lifetime retirement, hundreds of thousands if not a Million Dollars or more, because that reduction in rank has an effect on pay. It also has an effect on his credibility, or his rank that he has and the positions he can hold. In the navy, for the rest of the time that he serves. I think the jury is going to really struggle over this. I dont think he is really at risk of being reduced unless they are really upset about it. The fact that there are so many of the people that were involved in it i think is going to make this something where he is just kind of part of the rest of the group. Melissa what do you think is the impact of this Going Forward . I hope as a criminal defense attorney who works in the military thats what i do every day i hope it sends a signal to prosecutors and investigators that when they undertake an investigation they have to do it with care. These are people who serve our country, or willing to raise their hand and swear to protect and defend the constitution. We have to give them the benefit of the doubt. That is something we dont always do. They put chief gallagher in confinement for such a long time, they went after him so harshly, these were fair questions to ask to a jury. But perhaps not in the way they did it. Melissa yeah. So you think thats the message that will carry forward. Do you think real changes will happen as a result . They could be backlash, that the other possibility. This should send a message to the admirals and the generals out there making the decision to bring people to courtmartial. How they treat them in the interim and there just accused. This is tough stuff. Melissa thank you for joining us, appreciate your insight.

Some democrats are now courting nikes business after Arizona Governor doug ducey called for ending incentives for a nike manufacturing plant in the state over nikes decision to pull especially july 4th speaker from the shelves over reported objections from Colin Kaepernick. New mexicos governor retreating with hey nike, lets talk, signaling she would welcome the company with open arms. Here is the Fox Business Network correspondent, susan. This cracks me up, because nike has done it looks accidental, but to me they keep getting great business outcomes out of this. They are getting all this p. R. Yes. Melissa they had to pull the sneaker. Initially it looked like something that was thoughtless, but now i dont know so much. Because kaepernick talking about it, everybody and you talk about the incentives from the states. Now california is courting them, as well. Thats right, 185 million into this plant. They were going to create 500 jobs. Arizona was going to give them a grant and 4,000 for each fulltime employee. Now governor ducey says, we are going to take that back. Is that a big deal . For a company that sells 4 billion in shoes and apparel each and every year . Melissa i might ask why they are getting that in the first place. They didnt need the money for arizona, but whatever. They employ 35,000 across america. Some of this is a calculated business move been nike because its a limitededition shoe. It wasnt meant to be a big seller anyways. It would increase nikes value by 6 billion last september when they had that controversial kaepernick ad. And some are saying, when you hire kaepernick and you were listening to him with a shoe that has nothing to do with him, and thats usually how athletes have influence. If its printed their name. In this case, kaepernick had nothing to do with these air strike maxes. I think nike is sending a corporate message, we are sticking to our core customer, who are young, male, urban. According to a poll, the value kaepernick more than the general population. The nike reputation, does it take a hit from those ads last september . Yes, but its still nice. The billionaire founder of nike says it doesnt matter if a lot of people hate your brand, as long as people who want to buy your shoes love you. Thats all that matters. Melissa that is so interesting. It used to be the thinking was if you have a business or you have a Public Company like this, you never want to get near anything political. Because you immediately polarize the brand and you alienate potential customers. But now it seems like that paradigm has really changed, and its more about picking a lane and driving very hard into it, even though its a risk, because you are going to anger people who then get mad at your brand. It depends who your customers are. For nike, most of our customers are under 35. So they are the Younger Generation and they want brands like nike to take a stand. Especially on moral issues. And now they are comparing kaepernick to muhammad alis stance against the vietnam war. They want athletes and they want spokespeople to basically take a stance on these particular issues. When it comes to race, when it comes to gender, and the like. Melissa thats a great point, because when you say take a moral stance, there are people who look at this and say the moral stances for the flag. Its not for him. So they are knowing exactly how their customer is going to interpret the subjective morality of this situation. Right. Dont forget, we have a lot of interpreters on the network. People who actually look at symbols and symbolism. This betsy ross flag has nothing to do with far right groups or right nationalist groups. So they dont even know where this controversy comes from. But nike says, we are part of american heritage, we are steeped in american heritage, we were founded here, we employ 35,000 across the country. This is still our biggest market. But its a flash point. We are talking about their brand. Whether its on nike or elsewhere, and the sneaker head they are selling issue for 2,000 each. Melissa amazing. End. Intimates about betsy ross, shes the only female icon during this period. So its different for everyone. Thank you, susan li. Great stuff. We are still awaiting the sentencing of Navy Seal Eddie Gallagher. He was acquitted on the serious was murder, and attempted murder.
