Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: Single best idea. We'll make it short this morning, with
Speaker 2: the shock in New York City of what we've all
Speaker 2: witnessed across the nation. On Park Avenue from the Waldorf
Speaker 2: up Park Avenue, just past Grand Central Station, heading north,
Speaker 2: there is the spectacular JP Morgan building. They're beginning to
Speaker 2: go in. I believe in August you'll see the first
Speaker 2: employees into the truly spectacular redo the Sir Norman Foster
Speaker 2: Edifice at mister Diamond's building, the lever House of I
Speaker 2: believe nineteen fifty two. Up on the left up to
Speaker 2: four ninety nine Park Avenue, which is where Bloomberg was
Speaker 2: for years before we moved one block over next to
Speaker 2: Bloomingdale's on Lexington and there is Blackstone. They have lost
Speaker 2: Wesley Leapatner. She was exquisite. She was summa cum laude
Speaker 2: Yale University in history and took over their most important
Speaker 2: real estate effort in the recent months. Here's our Miles
Speaker 2: Miller from three forty five Park Avenue.
Speaker 3: One of the people killed yesterday, Wesley Lapatter happens to
Speaker 3: be a rising star in this industry. As you know,
Speaker 3: Tom leading the reap the real estate investment fund for
Speaker 3: wealthy individuals at Blackstone. But it's not just that work
Speaker 3: she was doing. When you talk about a person who's
Speaker 3: on the board of the met the Uja Schechter School,
Speaker 3: this is a person who dedicated their life to helping others.
Speaker 3: And imagine she's leaving work yesterday and becomes one of
Speaker 3: those victims.
Speaker 2: Miles Miller there and he'll continue our coverage in the
Speaker 2: coming days. Is the nation in New York City react
Speaker 2: to this horrific event in the business world today? A
Speaker 2: historic merger. John Tucker did a great job of giving
Speaker 2: scope and scale from the heart of the Civil War
Speaker 2: and the Golden Spike out in Utah over to what
Speaker 2: we see now with Big seven railroads. What will Warren
Speaker 2: Buffett do about a merger of Union Pacific and Norfolk
Speaker 2: Southern from Sea to Shining Sea. Here's a railroad expert,
Speaker 2: Tony Hatch.
Speaker 1: Concessions that could be given could include concessions to Amtrak
Speaker 1: to make their service better over the Union Pacific portion
Speaker 1: they brought. I've ridden long haul trains from New Orleans
Speaker 1: to LA you know, and they're always late, etc. They
Speaker 1: run once a day, So what kind of You know,
Speaker 1: it's great if you're a tourist on the eastern side
Speaker 1: where Norfolk Southern is. You know, that's where we get
Speaker 1: into the Northeast Corridor. So there are things that Amtrak
Speaker 1: could actually get out of this. It'll be curious to see.
Speaker 1: You know, they're a little rudderless right now at Amtrak,
Speaker 1: but they will be one of the many stakeholders who
Speaker 1: are going to come with a place and you know,
Speaker 1: in a fork in their back pocket, a sharp knife,
Speaker 1: and everybody will be looking for something.
Speaker 2: Tony hatch on an eighty five billion dollar at Merger.
