1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Here's Barry Diller audio SoundBite number fifty Fox Business channels.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: There were Maria Bartcher Romo, You've got Expedia and Digital

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Media Group chairman, Barry Diller. What are you seeing in

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: New York? Barry? What's your take on recovery post pandemic,

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the protesting, the looting that we saw earlier this year

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: in New York City. We opened our offices actually in

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: Labor Day. We said please come if you can, and truthfully,

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: no one comes. There's so much of the city idol.

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: It is not faiable drive anywhere, walk anywhere, and you

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: see local destruction. We've got to get used to the risks,

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: and we've got to take some risks, particularly people who

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: are not vulnerable, and get back to full light. Work

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: from home is not productive. The concept of work from

14
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: home does not work full stop. Oh wow, is not.

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: They're not very many people saying this. He's a he's

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: a lone voice. A lot of people, particularly running corporations

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that are like Tim Cook says he's ecstatic with the

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: work Apple employees are doing from home, for example, But

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: here he is. Working from home is not productive, full stop,

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. They opened their offices on Labor Day

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and nobody showed up. New York ain't coming back, Trump

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: said past couple of weeks. New York's not coming back,

23
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: not as currently being run combination of the Blasio and Cuomo.

24
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: But it was I. L. Rushbow who offered that opinion

25
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: months ago. You just handwritings on the wall. You can't

26
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: can't shut down a city like this m and you

27
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: can't you can't teach people that, hey, you know, you

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: don't have to live in New York anymore. You don't

29
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: have to go into the city to work anymore. And

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: you can't teach people that and then expect them to

31
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: just ignore it. If people don't have to spend twelve

32
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month on a closet that they live

33
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: in for rent, they're not going to do it. And

34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: they have learned that they don't have to do that.
