then in 1993, when diller -- he entered into a bidding war for paramount. diller ultimately lost.why would his iac be interested in paramount? they do own other assets in the media space. and the ceo joey leaven has been opportunistic in a range of industries. the company owns the majority of angie's list as well as a take in mgm resorts. the question now is, how much paramount global is under pressure. we know it's looking for opportunities in its streaming business and is looking to bundle. paramount plus potentially with the likes of max or others in order for paramount plus to better compete. i reached out to all the different media giants involved in this. no comment from paramount global or national asuzements or iac. >> it's what you said about potential partners. what are the options for this platform with streaming, are we talking about combinations, lateral moves, takeover by a much larger player? you think if there was any real prospect of this happening by a larger player, we would have heard about it by now. >> if you are talking about a major media deal, they're hard

barry diller on the broadcast earlier.s now between nbc, peacock, amazon and espn and how tnt, of course, getting left out. i imagine you were inside the nba, a big fan of that show? >> i also, i work for tnt. colleagues with those guys and they're remarkable. you know, it's an exciting time first and foremost for the league. new media rights deal. how it will be presented, packaged is certainly great as we go into the next decade. and the growth of the league globally is fantastic. you know, change is inevitable. >> all of those guys will end up on the other networks? >> i don't know. barkley says, he's out i. was on the air with barkley when he retired, yi don't believe him bt look, all of those guys including myself will be free agents. that's not a bad thing. >> tonight we're going to see lebron holding the flag going down this river. what does that mean for the country, but what does it mean for the league and basketball and basically everybody on this team? >> well, you know, it's just iran credible. we had a moment

in 1993, when diller was chairman of qvc, he entered into a bidding war.ke over why this makes sense for them. its ceo joe yi levin is looking for assets in various industries. it is worth pointing out that various sources have told me a lot has to be figured out for the iac deal to be happen and it is in early stages. it could certainly not happen here. >> is this another deal for national amusements and we don't know what it means for other share h shareholders? >> that could be the issue. they journust started this due j diligence process. it seems because of the unique structure of the deal, it is more likely to do a deal with the national amusements. >> here is the thing i still don't understand. is whoever is going to buy national amusements take on the risk of what sharri was thinking about doing earlier on? down the road, there will be some plan to sell it again, but then the question is, you have to assume you are not going to get a super premium for the super premium shares? what is the calculus? >> this is a different potential buyer than skydan

here's what barry diller had to say. >> it's hard to predict, but i think it is over.in an auction with someone who has a pretty much unlimited balance sheet. >> in addition, david, as you mentioned we did have a really fascinating opportunity to spend time with bernard arnault of lmvh who has rarely given an interview over the past decade and sit with him actually in the christian dior apartment, the original apartment, where he lived and we talked about so many different issues about geopolitics, about the luxury market and everything else, but perhaps one of the most interesting comments was actually about profit and money and i want to play you that for a moment. there's a lesson inside it. >> and i say all the time to my teams, don't think of money. profitability is a consequence of desirability that you create, that we create together, on your brand. >> and we talked about what creating these long-term brands are and, you know, when you ask him about this quarter's profits or even next year's profits or the uncertainty taking place around the world, he says, don'

and if they know that you and barry diller and other big donors are giving a lot of cash and want to get rid of lina khan from the ftc. they might listen to that more than they would listen to it from somebody in a restaurant well this is one of the things where i don't ever show up at the white house saying, i think you should do this. >> i mean, one of the things that president biden has said to me every time he's met me, as i never asked for anything because all that i'm trying to do is help our leaders be the best governors. now, if i'm asked as an expert and you know, for example, shows like this, cnn you say, well, what do you think is the right expert point of view? i would say, well, here's what i think is an expert and maybe people will listen to me more and maybe you'll have me on television because i'm a donor but i definitely myself distinguish between my role as a donor and my role is an expert and i don't ever what i'm doing fundraisers i know i never say i'm only going to a fund raiser for you if or since we're doing this fundraiser right now where i'm raising money fo

david: i reached out to barry diller when this was concern whether joe biden would consider and saidwasn't going to back him anymore and that's big deal. he got back to me yesterday and said he has been excited about what he's seen on the campaign trail. anyone who doubts kamala harris's political expertise should pay attention to how she handles post-biden exit. ly donate the maximum to her campaign. he's back. we've seen such an outpouring of donations both at the small dollar level and a big one. a number of big meetings are taking place. one of them convened by efron, maguire, they're going to get on the phone and talk about their strategy going forward. this was a campaign that had a lot of money, spent a lot of money in june and has been find -- trying to find the footing. katie: it appears there's a lot of donor cash on the sideline looking to donate right now. do you get the sense that the people donating to the harris campaign are doting because they're -- donating anti-trump or pro-harris? david: a little bit of both. they see this as an indication that they're going to be

we're talking with the rumor barry diller was eyeing it.hen you're looking at the share price and you're saying at the moment it doesn't go all the way to potentially $15 a share that the voting -- nonvoting the class would get. what should they do. if i'm an investor and sniffing and investor in the class b shares, what i do at this moment? laura: i would wait to see who's president of the united states. the biden administration has really negative, and day people at the head of all these agencies but if we get a presidential switch. this industry were talking about all needs to consolidate the needs to be three competitors were the can worry about costs and disney get needs to get bought by apple. none of that can happen out of the biden administration but if you can flip a presidency i would wait for that. the day that happens i think there will be massive consolidation because all of those -- the head of the doj, head of the fcc, will change to a republican i think they will be far more sympathetic to allowing the consolidation to occur

the new york times reported billing or barry diller who back in the 1990s attempted to pay paramount pictures but outbid by which stone is the latest to explore to take paramount global over. currently chairman and back in the 70s he ran paramount pictures. as a paramount plays out, the bond market has been glued to its own soap opera playing out in the tenure field. look at this, you see the debate around 9:40 a.m. eastern write about reserve chair jay powell had the floor at the european central bank's annual form of all things, central thinking. the yield closed yesterday 4.47% but does to 4.41% as powell said he needs to see more repeats of the latest 2.6 consumer inflation print. >> it represents significant progress, peak debt 4.4% in the same thing in headline. 7.1 to 2.6 so it made a lot of progress. we want to understand the levels we are seeing are true reading on what is happening with underlying inflation and we are well aware if we go to soon and we can undo the good work we've done and bring it down if we go to late we could undermine the recovery and expansion so we ha

. >> did barry diller trigger this to happen again. >> no, i think mr.s had interest for some time with trying to take control of a.i., not providing liquidity as this deal would, not merging an asset in as this deal would. but his interest, i don't believe had anything really to do with this. this deal was there and she made it a different choice this time. >> why is she making a different choice? it's not like the pricing is dramatically altering her outcome. >> i think the perception would be it's a good deal and given the incredible risk that paramount faces not to mention our own finances, frankly. there's a good deal of indebtedness at nai, plenty of risk around not just the business but around the balance sheet many would have said the first time around they didn't understand why she didn't take the deal. >> i do. >> so this story will be done. >> it'll be done. and we'll continue to follow the ravages of this business. >> right. of course, of course the driving factor behind this whole thing. >> exactly. >> david, thank you. >>> still to come, th

like jonathan diller when he talks to the family i asked him what was it like in there between us and family. the family is like no, no, he went up to my 7-year-old. my 3-year-old asked if he could give him a hug and he had all these things behind the scenes. trump doesn't talk about that. and then you have the family saying he invited us to bedminster and we spent hours with him. first time we were able to smile with somebody that cares. we got to put him back in the white house. perhaps the most moving. and as much as it bothers people on the other channels, is he a human being, is he a father. most of all he is grander if a. i have news for you, for those who think that you have to wait out 78-year-old trump and move on. there are generations of trump, if they choose to, they could dominate the public spotlight. buckai trump 17 years old said , i want to speak. so he introduced her. she spoke. and she gave us an idea of what the president is like as a grandfather. watch watch. >> speaking today to share the side of my grandpa that people don't often see. to me, he is just a normal

you talk about the diller family who's one mile from my house who went to a wake which is a hall mileey go and talk about a former president who has questions about what they went true and the loss that they just went through. so if you don't want to vote for donald trump, go ahead. but if you want to ice isolate him as some crazy guy that is not capable of running the country, who's in this for himself, if you kept the audio up over the last four days, you're going to have a hard time selling that story. whether donald trump likes it or not, we got his personal side. rachel: yeah, there's no question about that. and, yes, those gold star families all received phone calls. and they a said in the remarks that joe biden never even will say their child's name. it just, it's a remarkable contrast. you know, van jones said that he felt this kind of energy in 2008, and i think the differenco get your opinion on it, brian. in 2008 that energy was around obama, the idea of obama, breaking that glass ceiling, if you will. what i felt also at this convention, and i was there for the whole time
