shari, her own man, sumner, put this together, bear live but still alive. litell lipton, went to war to basically separate out cbs and sell it. that was his ultimate plan. he would have gotten taupe dollar for that then. les was king of all media. he was a juggernaut. les moonves got blown out eventually. left in various scandals and this deal was shut down by shari because she is the controlling shareholder but he tried. he tried a way to dilute here. it was like wild stuff. when i talk to people who are into paramount, cbs, viacom orbit, they all say les was right about this, when it comes down to it. the most value for shareholders would have been that, maybe selling this. she still would have made money. we're stuck with a company that has a bunch of melting ice cubes, weird ownership structure and status quo and byron allen are not probably going to make it. mario, he is a brilliant guy. he can read a balance sheet better than me. i don't know, man. there is not a lot of options left here. liz: by the way he said he won't sue ahead of it, but if he doe

did shari red sstone go from $8 billion? shakespeare tragedy. >> it sounds like it. they missed the wave of consolidation. i think shari wanted to be a consolidator. by the time they merged, it was too late and the company made one fatal mistake. whether it is her fault, she blames bob bakish. the fatal mistake was in may of 2020 as the pandemic took hold and they tried to be netflix. they went out and tried to create paramount plus and spent billions of dollars a year. that strained the balance sheet to the point they have not been able to recover from and very much why they're in the situation today with the forced sale situation that they're struggling under is all because of that mistake or misstep they made not following the sony strategy and trying to be a content arms dealer. it would have been lower growth and margin, but they would not have been in the situation today, mean forced sale, if they made that pivot back then. >> what does that forced sale look like? i mentioned "succession." if you are trying to do the d

by the way shari redstone owns 80% of national amusements.iz: can i put this back on? okay, keep going. >> keith ellison of sky dance and redbird, they want to buy it. here is the question, does this thing making shari redstone rich, does it do anything for the common shareholders like your pal mario ga belly, your pal warren buffett, who will not just sit there and say shari gets all the fun and we don't. in that context, until the deal happens, it is not a done deal until you read the press release, the whole thing, go out and do a sales job. what will be the main sales pitch? by the way -- liz: what is david, not -- >> david ellison, is a new generation of leader. they're going to put him out front and center from what i understand to explain that, okay, you, the common shareholders, when we get this thing settled it i will be we buy her stake there will be a lot of financial engineering. somehow redbird and skydance and kkr, will come out, they will be common shareholders this new company that will be worth about five billion dollars. liz

in shari redstone's defense you knew going in.moonves wanted to extract cbs and sell it. he looks very smatter, put aside whatever you think of les moonves, his theory taking value of cb. is, back when it was in 2018 and 2019. selling it you would have gotten most bang for the buck in terms of assets then. you're not getting that now. the assets are deeply, deeply in trouble like cord-cutting. it is forcing huge recalculation of what these are worth. les, you have to give him credit, he had it right. that is what they should have done. it was the most valuable part of her empire and she could have gotten the most value for it then and she couldn't do it. now she is stuck trying to recoup, listen a lot of money she will get, 2.5 billion, 2 1/2 times what it is worth essentially, we heard 800 million-dollar stake, but, you would think that you know, when you talk about billionaires, we're talking sumner was up there in the 50s from what i remember. a lot of wealth has evaporated on this company. liz: a lot. can't imagine some people

shari redstone seems enthusiastic. will it get to the finish line? that is a key question.mi-offering from apollo of $26 billion, which was simply one letter, didn't do anything to help the special committee, which is going to be under a lot of pressure. it's going to want to establish a record in terms of decision making but there hasn't been any more delineation is my understanding. >> the thing we're looking at right now, the common stock, does that have anything to do with the things you're talking about? >> it does, because there will be dilution, but that will be taken on eventually, because you'll have a far stronger company. you'll have a merger of skydance and paramount studios. you'll have a completely different approach that perhaps current management simply is unable to do right now, given the constraints they're under. you will have a rationalization in some way of the streaming service, perhaps there will be asset sales of some significance. jim, you know -- >> there is a ceo by the name of bob bakish. i'm not hearing his name at all. >> no, no, no. if this pl

shari redstone's people are saying their initial proposal included some reference to pif, saudi investmentght off the bat. you bring in sony. well sony is a japanese company. now why does anybody care about foreign ownership? this is a huge bugaboo with regulators t has gone back even with republican administrations, they don't want media assets owned by foreign entities, they don't like it. cbs in the past was owned by a foreign entity. i could be wrong, go back in time. it is not something they like especially the biden administration with the saudis, verboten almost. so, they're saying, this deal just can't get through the way it is. you have to ask yourself if someone is giving you 26 billion for the whole enchilada, you yesterday, signed it, got shareholders it is not being done because of that rule? keep that in mind. apollo is doubling down with sony they're saying. does that mean skydance redbird thing is going to happen? i can't tell you this is so complicated. it is going to be litigated and everything else but it looks like right now that's the only game in town. liz: well, may

will they walk away empty-handed to watch shari redstone make $3 billion? mr.ydance, merging it into paramount, would be like a five billion dollar valuation from zero? that's not going to happen. so what is likely to happen here, if this thing happens, and again it's an if, something will have to be done for the common shareholders because they will sue. mario gabelli, i'm not saying he is, i don't know, but he will probably sue. the best thing to say is this it where it was last week with a little tiny nuance maybe paramount is not interested now or maybe can't be interested now. there could always be a white knight here but it is a very complicated deal, liz. i don't know where to begin. how do you compensate the common shareholders on this? >> considering the high of the year for pay a mount was 24 bucks -- paramount. thank you, i have i have to get to the "countdown closer"? >> one thing, don't buy this on the rumor. be careful here f you're playing around in the stock. this is important. your count down closer will tell you that. liz: miramar capital is t

there does seem to be a real affinity in terms of shari redstone for the plan that's been put forwardor the synergies that would be available, the change in operations. interesting to watch and see, and always important to point out to people, when you have a control shareholder, you can't guarantee that you're going to come out on the right side here. now, there is going to be a need for potential majority of the minority vote. you have a special committee, as i've said, by the way, as part of the deal, they have to agree that sky dance could get merged into paramount, but keep an eye on that $3 billion in equity, jim, because it would potentially be dilutive, but my understanding is, even if this deal doesn't happen, there may be a need to raise additional equity down the road. >> obviously, let me just posit, we all know that the weakness at many of these different outfits, warner bros. discovery, us at disney, is linear. why would anyone want this property? >> it's a good question, and it's one that actually barry diller seemed to raise on his conversation with the "squawk" gang e

highest mountain located in the border area between the 3 countries of lebanon, syria and palestine, shariacked there as well. this is that this ability that the islamic republic has shown is really a new rule that has been passed at a time when the israelis think they have military support and whatever happens inside here. this red line was broken by iran and it has created a new situation that now the zionists themselves are investigating this new situation . compared to before iran's attack , a mess has been created because of this situation, the power and strength of hezbollah is the power and strength of hamas. the strength and power of the islamic republic of iran in response to the aggression of the zionist regime. if we want to examine the response of the punishment of the islamic republic of iran in terms of time, it happened when we saw a lack of action from the arab world and some countries in the region in response to the aggression of the regime. we see the zionist killing of children and women in gaza and many others. it has a message both for the countries of the region and

yes, but in the previous games, 3 5 2 ma shari plou should be. now this change has worked. look, well, the situations of independence or creating that if a quantity they could have a high concentration in the attack line, but what happened, i felt that in the defense line of esteghlal midfielders, that run decreased and that press. we saw a little less of the regularity and strictness they did in the esteghlal team , and this was the reason. well, ma sharip is a very capable player with the ball without the ball, his age and conditions. his body should be created in such a way that without the ball it cannot perform the same function as with the ball, but in general, this was an example, it was an idea that mr. javad nekonam considered for his offensive phase, naturally, we should know, mr. javad. nekonam's hands are tied, and those people who need them could not be recruited for esteghlal either in the first half of the season or in the first season. i hope that whatever happens, you will be mahdiport's manager. yes, now i heard that mr. mahdi mahdipour, mr. blanco and...

more, for example, the herds that people have are more than shari. if you want to get a building permit in the permitted density , it is free. we do not charge them money, that is , we try not to cause problems to the vulnerable groups. we also try to increase the others according to the inflation rate , the definition of local taxes and those taxes that people want to pay, which are no longer satisfied. this problem exists now in the whole complex and in my opinion, all of us, all the officials, should focus on controlling inflation . he is in all his work , even the existing policies of the government. for example, among the villagers, they solve them , if they have a crisis, they follow up, that is, all on the side these are the villagers to solve their problems. now , if we can give them more facilities and powers, of course, this will be done through the organization of municipalities and villages , but still more, it means giving a role to the councils, for example , village or city. let's make the people of our village or city happy with the g

shares down since the news first broke shari redstone was looking to sell her stake. alternative proposals sometime this week. other key thing we're watching now. paramount's negotiations with charter. they hope to secure payment increases for distribution of all channels that deal set to expire tomorrow they can't come to agreement paramount's networks will go dark and this charter deal will impact paramount's value joe? >> 30% down since that -- i think we need to see all the media companies and see prices -- it's just, i don't know why so high an idea what it says, but very difficult macro environment. they're all navigating at this point. >> certainly a different, difficult macro environment, but the question here is where would paramount's assets perform best? the argument for the skydance deal is that skydance controls 50% of some of paramount's most valuable franchises such as "top gun pea "a huge success and question if you were to combine those assets, skydance has an animation studio that's been very successful. would that create more value there? also a que

focus for many shareholders who have been less than enthused with the idea of control shareholder sharistone through national amusements getting a large share for her shares, while they got nothing, except the promise of a higher stock price based on the merger. what i can tell you is they have moved along here in terms of this exclusive negotiation that's been going on between the special committee and the ellison group to the point where it is my understanding, at least, that they've gotten to basically kind of what they would call a -- expect to be a final offer from skydance. now, things can always change. you can also tweak things. it doesn't appear they're going to have a deal in hand on friday, but perhaps they will get very close to having something that is close to that deal that could be signed up, brought to the control shareholder, namely that being shari redstone it does include, is my understanding, and this is an important component here and one that the special committee has been pushing for, what is essentially a premium that would be paid at least to these shareholders

it is buying the holding company, shari redstone's stake in the holding company that owns paramount'ske and doing reverse merger, issuing new stock, there is a lot going on here. all that will be reviewed by the biden administration fcc, ftc, and doj antitrust. that is what makes what went down today very interesting. "the washington post" did a story that said, that, they cited the campaign filings and i looked it up myself, that he maxed out, gave the most money he can, i think it was something like 800, $900,000, almost a million to the joe biden victory fund which is soft money fund-raising enand gave it in the first quarter of this year. also noticed he gave first quarter, maxed out joe biden directly, $6600. there is limits how much you can give directly. a lot less limits how much you give the pacs. people are scrambling around, "washington post" and others, shows david ellison, who is larry ellison's son is giving money to biden isn't that crazy? they're missing the big story we're bringing exclusively on fox business, the confluence here has nothing to do with larry in my vie

the press, not my reporting, has played out in terms of tension between him and control shareholder shari redstone. his and/or at least the way some have said they have gone about trying to slow this process that is under way between skydance and paramount may have contributed to his exit. there's so much on all sides of this. he's out. they got three people running the company. if you are the special committee trying to decide between a skydance deal and status quo, my sense is the status quo went down a bit in overall value. i don't recall a lot of success when you have three people running a company. >> there was a franchise that was very good when i was growing up. it was called the three stooges. by the way, don't forget when shemp left, they had joe on hand. >> as for where things stand in terms of continued negotiations between the special committee and skydance, they continue to make what is progress. having gotten a sense from both sides, skydance side certainly will look at the current potential status quo and say, listen, we came up, we have a $3 billion pipe. we'll be paying a

you've got to deal with the control shareholder in shari redstone, and you've got to make sure that theumbers you're hearing from the skydance group, in terms of synergy, really cost-cutting, and i want to make it clear here in terms of previous reports, are real. i reported on synergies that could be as high as $3 billion. what i really should have said, and what should have been communicated more clearly was, that's mostly cost-cutting. the actual revenue synergies are smaller. 200 billion bucks, perhaps. the potential for significant cost cuts, that is major. floor of a billion is what i'm hearing to as high as $3 billion from any number of areas. you know, whether you're talking about the nielsen contract, the fact that the window on paramount movies to paramount plus, where it is, so many different areas, at least, that they believe, jim, there would be significant ability to cut costs. so, a lot to go here, and then there will be the question as to what happens at the sort of towards the end of the negotiating. my expectation in some ways is this special committee is going to look
