0:40.0

I mean, I mean, actually, our barn, where this is my office, it's an old, it's a very old barn and our studios here. So I have an office in it. And it looks like a barn.

0:52.0

It looks amazing actually. I really like what I'm seeing there. All right. I mean, on disclose location, we don't need to get any specific than that.

1:01.0

Can I just start with breaking news today on our moral bettors over at CNN. I did a whole segment yesterday with my legal team.

1:08.0

I love Mark and Arthur and we talked about Don LeMond and he's being sued for sexual assault by a guy who says lemon fondled himself and rubbed his hands all over the guy's face.

1:19.0

I mean, Arthur, I don't know what I was saying. That's worth five million. I don't care. Whatever he's asking for. It's too little.

1:25.0

And then now today, the news breaks that Chris Cuomo is being accused of sexually harassing a woman several years ago when he was at ABC.

1:33.0

His boss, Shelley Ross is gone on the record of New York Times op-ed saying, we went to a party. I was no longer his boss. I just shifted off the show or he'd shifted off the show.

1:42.0

Whatever. And he greeted her and he gave her a big bear hug and he grabbed her ass. He squeezed her ass and then like was horrified to see her husband sitting.

1:54.0

I sucker. You can't make it up. These I don't even know if I would have touched the story. Right. It's like it sounds like a Nimrod stupid as thing to do.

3:13.0

And all of this grows out of the fact that these are super damaged, unhappy, rotten people. How they get in positions of power is my question.
