Hi, it's David Marquesi.

We're taking a break this week, but we'll be back with a new episode next Saturday.

In the meantime, I wanted to share a great conversation with you from this year's New York Times Deal Book Summit, which took place earlier this month.

My colleague, Andrew Ross Sorkin, sat down with Jeff Bezos, who talked about owning the Washington Post, his desire to work with Trump, and the parental love he feels for Amazon.

Enjoy the conversation and happy holidays.

If we're talking about Trump, I think it's very interesting.

I'm actually very optimistic this time around that we're going to see.

I'm very hopeful about this.

He seems to have a lot of energy around reducing regulation.

And my point of view, if I can help him do that, I'm going to help him.

This is Andrew Ross Sorkin with New York Times, and you're listening to interviews from our annual Dealbook Summit Live event, recorded on December 4th in New York City.

Jeff, thank you so much for being here. We always try to save the best for last, and we couldn't be more thrilled for you to be here.

I said it at the beginning of the day, and I'll say it again in front of you, Jeff.

Jeff is one of the world's most successful entrepreneurs.

We talk a lot about people.

We've talked about it all day about people of consequence on this stage, and there's no question

that Jeff has changed the way we live, really.

And it's rare to be able to say that about anybody. In 1994, he founded Amazon, which started

as an online bookseller. You know the story right out of his garage in Seattle. Today, Amazon's one of the

most five valuable companies in America. Now he's focused far beyond Earth to outer space

through his company, Blue Origin.

He's racing to the moon and then to Mars.
