CNBCfix review: Sara Eisen’s Formula 1 production is for those who buy teams, not tickets

Quick — do you know who Lewis Hamilton is?

What about Max Verstappen?

Knowing or not knowing those answers will probably determine whether you think Sara Eisen's CNBC documentary "Inside Track: The Business of Formula 1" deserves the checkered flag.

At the very least, it seems Eisen could've posed a question about the hottest name in wheels to most CNBC viewers, Elon Musk. Is there any reason Musk couldn't build his own Formula One car that would leave these other engineering teams in the dust? Eisen doesn't go there.

The top F1 team apparently is the Red Bull team, even though Red Bull, the company, does not actually manufacture cars. Christian Horner tells Eisen that winning races "absolutely" affects Red Bull sales and that F1 provides Red Bull's biggest promotional boost. (Actually demonstrating such would make this an interesting program about advertising.)

The CNBC camera catches a very interesting moment. A young fan with some kind of high-level access requests an autograph from Lewis Hamilton. Fortunately for F1, Hamilton does accommodate this on-camera request, albeit briskly. Are the stars of F1 as approachable as their professional cousins of NASCAR? Should autograph-seekers have access to this particular area? Great questions.

The undertone of the program, which Eisen acknowledges in a couple instances, is that Formula 1 seems mostly an elitist sport, like Ted Turner's America's Cup races, in which wealthy sportsmen compete for pride, not dollars. Eisen states at the top, "It's considered the most elite of all racing leagues." Viewers unfamiliar with F1 can see these are dashing hipsters, not the gearheads like A.J. Foyt and the Unsers who long ruled the Indy pits.

Why is CNBC profiling F1? Possibly a few reasons: It's an international activity and CNBC is an international brand; it's not (yet) heavily covered in American media; Team McLaren is sponsored by CNBC, which we learn in the 37th minute. (And we learn this program is sponsored by T-Mobile For Business, the "exclusive partner" of the recent Las Vegas Grand Prix.)

Adhering to the title of "Business" of this production, Eisen disappointingly shows almost none of the excitement of F1. No interviews with fans about why they care, no clips of famous finishes or wipeouts, etc. It is an entity apparently without controversies, evidenced by Eisen's questions to the principals.

But Eisen is light on the business side too. Whether a given team makes money in a given year probably is not as relevant as whether the team wins prominent races. Whether the circuit itself makes money is probably a lot more important, and a separate issue. F1 is owned by Liberty Media, an American conglomerate that bought the entity of Formula One in 2017. The face of Liberty Media, Greg Maffei, says, "A lot of people including us thought it was a full price. It wasn't as if we bought it on the cheap." Eisen curiously doesn't explain (maybe because it's complicated) how the circuit is tradeable by a tracking stock(s), whose 1-year performance looks rather weak.

But it's not like Liberty Media fields the racing teams. Those are independent entities. This corporate structure prompted this page to research the corporate entity of the National Football League, whether officially or informally. Is the NFL known as a partnership? Cooperative? Collaborative? Corporation? We couldn't find any quick answers.

Eisen reports that Roger Goodell spoke with F1 principals "in a closed-door meeting" in Montreal; a door is even shown shutting for effect. (As if Roger would be giving motivational speeches open to the public — he only gives sportswriters about 15 minutes for the entire year, around Super Bowl time.)

Apparently there are 10 teams in F1. Guenther Steiner of the MoneyGram Haas team says, "Just adding teams to have more teams to dilute the other ones, why- why would any business do that?" That's a great question that Eisen doesn't tackle. The NFL has added teams over time because 1) the new teams pay the existing teams a lot of cash and 2) sometimes Congress gets on the NFL to put a franchise in certain places. Why adding teams, or not adding teams, is smart for F1 needs more explanation.

A chart of the income streams shown early in the program suggests a racing team has 3 channels of income, but there are several categories within each channel that kind of overlap. It seems sponsors who want their stickers on the car are the safest money.

Whatever engine science is being done in F1 apparently stays within F1 and isn't snapped up by automakers for the general public; viewers learn Lewis Hamilton's car is made of ultra-lightweight composite carbon. Eisen doesn't mention how fast these crews can change a tire, long a staple of auto-racing reporting.

How should one look when reporting on auto racing, including on pit row? Eisen is seen in 15 different outfits (if our count is correct) reporting from numerous locations, generally a workpersonlike approach, a lot of blue, including a denim look. Eisen notes "the real fuel behind Formula One" is the sponsorships; Eisen quietly wears Nike shoes (but presumably, unlike her subjects here, isn't compensated for that particular logo).

Eisen says early that Formula One had attendance of 4.1 million in 2018 that climbed to 5.7 million in 2022. But that could mean any number of things, that the circuit expanded to more fan-friendly environments or added races. Near the end of the program, we get the time peg — the release of this documentary around the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Renee Wilm, CEO of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, says the Vegas event sold only "south of a thousand" general admission tickets, which cost $500. Those numbers say more than anything else in the program. If less than a thousand fans are paying the minimum $500, then ...

Eisen suggests a big change for Formula One was the Netlfix "Drive to Survive" series in 2019, which Eisen says is one of the "biggest moves" by Liberty Media, one that "turned drivers and team principals into global celebrities." (One star of this series, Guenther Steiner, somehow says with a straight face that he's "never seen" the production, an assertion believed by Eisen.) Well, 4 years is a long time in media, and if so many of these drivers are global celebrities, how come Eisen barely mentions only a few of them and has little more than a soundbite from one of them, Lewis Hamilton?

By the time of the commercial break after the first 10 minutes, Eisen supplies not much reason to keep watching. At times, she has little to ask of her subjects. One early question to Toto Wolff is, "You're unique because you are CEO, principal and part-owner of Mercedes. Which one takes the most time?"

(It's also not clear why the "TV PG" label turns up in the screen; perhaps because someone says "p----- off" at some point.)

There's a mention about F1 courting women and also a token late reference about climate change. Team owner Christian Horner bluntly states that F1 can never go all-electric, asserting "the combustion engine still has life in it."

Eisen never mentions that Formula 1 has strong headwinds in the U.S. They're called NASCAR and the Indy 500. Racing is a tremendous sport and a big pie and there is some crossover and there's plenty to go around worldwide, but it seems hard to believe that the American public that has followed the Indy 500 and Daytona 500 for so many decades has enough room to embrace F1 as anything beyond a niche following.

Eisen's program has too little to show and too little to tell. When is the annual racing season, and where do they race? This production can air around racing events for potential team buyers or sponsors with international reach; for everyone else, there's "Shark Tank."

Guest of Saudi royal family: "I did try to ask Hadley about her Shell game, but wisely, she said, 'I can't talk about it.' She was very nice, and pretty hot, so I could see how Shell and Barrack enjoyed her company"

CNBCfix review: Faber didn’t find a groove in Musk interview

Much of the conversation was choppy, David sometimes had to interrupt himself to ask about time, too much of the early portions stumbled over TSLA engineering goals ... best part involved presidential politics, also remote-work exchange, how much sleep Musk gets ... a few questions weren't really questions; David referenced controversial tweets that David didn't seem to have great knowledge of, David sometimes shown looking at camera instead of at Musk, last question about careers/AI kind of odd, AI is mostly a boring subject to talk about if you're not a software engineer ... there's far much more that this interview subject has to say and offer and undoubtedly wants to talk about ... Musk said Google has made autonomous driving work in tightly controlled environments but doesn't have a "generalized solution" that "works anywhere" ... Says "January is often the worst month" for car sales; "People should get off their goddamn moral high horse with their work-from-home bullsh--.

Brian Sullivan, CNBC’s funniest anchor, underwhelms in premiere of ‘Last Call’

CNBCfix review: As soon as someone said "We're leading off Sully's new show with national debt statistics and a congressman nobody's heard of discussing it," KC Sullivan should've been throwing his hands in the air "No No No" ... None of the material, at all, was visual, nor was much of it debatable. ... Breaking news on Jes Staley ... Show should lean toward tried-and-true TV subjects and not try to react to incredibly humdrum daily headlines ... National debt picked to lead show obviously because it's the most "serious" among subjects of gambling on pro wrestling and the anti-ESG presidential candidate, quickly glazed over eyes with charts with all kinds of numbers; Sully insisted everyone needs to care "regardless of your political persuasion" and "we don't think it's a partisan issue" (tip: everything about this is a partisan issue) (tip 2: it will be addressed like it always has been, our great-grandkids will just borrow against our great-great-grandkids) ... Vivek Ramaswamy says he's against not "the existence of ESG funds" but the "new practice of merging state power and corporate power" to advance things such as Green New Deal. He added almost no analysis to this subject other than indicating he dislikes efforts to push this concept; that the show reached for this kind of niche on Day 1 is curious to say the least ... Segment on gambling on pro wrestling needed another voice or two, not just a reporter, explaining why this would or wouldn't succeed ... Heidi Heitkamp and Anthony Scaramucci did bring a little life to the show as panelists; Sully promised a panel every night "until we decide not to." ... Scaramucci, whose sense of humor is almost at the level of Sully's, did make a good joke about his time in the White House. ... Kate Kelly discussed an obscure rep making uninteresting trades in defense stocks that sorta concluded with the idea that there's really no outrage here ... Hard to see how this premiere is any improvement on Shep Smith's ensemble, let alone a headline-making new program ... it appears, thankfully, CNBC will not re-air this program at 4 a.m. Eastern and preempt European "Street Signs" as Smith's show did ... nevertheless, this page is confident Sully will find a groove, find more interesting things to talk about, inform and entertain viewers ...

Jon Najarian debuts on Fox Biz, gives intro to Options 101

Doc: "The liquidity that you get in these contracts ... you can make a bullish bet or a bearish bet ... and they have grown by leaps on bounds, and that pun is not intended. Uh, literally, long-term options are called LEAPS, but most of us are trading in the shorter-term ..."
Charles: "I got the Meta up here ... there's been some serious volatility. One time it went up 18%, another time it went down 27%. I can see why you would, you know, do something crazy, uh, like- like buying these, I mean it's, but you think it's better to sell int- sell the short-term options, go out a little bit further, and then, what they call a straddle, would you be on both sides of this trade considering how much it could move in either direction?"
Doc: "You took the words out of my mouth. A straddle is the combination of the call and the put. Um, and so with the stock trading right here at roughly 129. That's trading for $15, Charles. Which means that the market could be, in, in some people's opinion, um, as much as $15 lower or $15 higher ... what I did today was I sold the 116 puts that expire in 2 days. ... that's where we think support is ..."
Doc: "I love Apple ... I buy that one and then sell calls against it all the time, Charles. I can pull about 22% a year out of that trade"
Charles: "It's an honor to have you on the show. ... We'll see you again real soon"
CNBCfix review: Nice eloquent commentary, including fielding Twitter questions, but explaining how to trade options takes far more than a 6-minute soundbite; should just assume viewers who care already know how to do it and are just looking for current trades.

I mean, You can make life uncomfortable enough for him that he may choose to move on on his own. It's not impossible he would leave early, is it?"
Ylan: "Sure. It's certainly not impossible but I would not want to imply that that is the environment that, uh, Democrats are trying to create at this point"

Tyler: "We're sort of on a 3-day-a-week plan as well here, uh, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in, and Fridays and Mondays optional, that sounds- that sounds pretty reasonable."
Jim: "Yeah, I can't object to that ... it is helpful to be with your colleagues."
Contessa: "I'm skeptical, and Tyler, and I've told our bosses this, part of it is that I think you can't put the genie back in the bottle. The- the other thing is, if you look at productivity, and we know that productivity was sustained during work from home, that it necessarily dies if people have to go home to manage their life rather than incorporating work into life at home, and the 3rd thing, and I'm not reading anybody talking about this, but all these companies, Apple, Starbucks, JPMorganChase, Goldman Sachs, have very well-publicized commitments to climate initiatives. I wanna know about this conflict between being concerned about the environmental impact and forcing your workers to undertake in many cases significant commuting challenges in order to just have collaboration and chance encounters at the office."

Drew Brees blitzed by Tyler over how to ‘thread the needle’ between the game and gambling

Kelly: "Joining the NBC family as a broadcaster, working with the sports-betting site PointsBet"
Tyler: "Realize that you've gone to work for our parent company NBC and, and, and welcome to the, welcome to the club. Um, but I wonder how you and NBC thought through the idea of having one of its paid commentators being a major endorser of a gambling, um, uh, product, No. 1, and because we're accustomed as viewers to seeing the broadcasters be in theory, um, journalists covering an event. So how did you think through the appropriateness of that, and how do you intend to thread the needle between covering the game and covering the betting on the game"
Drew: "Uh, what I do as- as an analyst on the- on the show is just give my very open and honest analysis of the games, um, of the players, of the, um, the subject lines, and um, it's- it's- it's very much based on my experience, and, as a, as playing quarterback in the NFL for 20-plus years. And so, I just- you know, I keep it at that. And then really it's, for those who are choosing to, to bet, bet in-game, uh, use the PointBet- PointsBet platform, I think they're taking any, any number of different, uh, avenues, to, to kind of develop their own strategies their own knowledge base in regards to how they wanna bet"
Tyler: "So then, so then let's go to the 2nd question, which is the sponsored segment that Contessa just mentioned, uh, will that involve you directly, is that a halftime feature, what is it, and, and what would your role be on that, I mean, are you gonna be taking apart, OK, right now it's 22-21, and so it looks like the over/under at 45 is in jeopardy here. What it- what- I, I, talk me through that one"
Drew: "Uh, that's- that's usually something that comes up through the course of the broadcast, or- or through the course of the show, and that's kind of a shared subject line between everybody that's- that's on there, and so at times, you'll have different people commenting, or just maybe explaining kinda where that's at. Um, but it's- it's- it's not, it's not necessarily that each one of us are up there, uh, predicting the lines or predicting the yardage, or you know, any of the end game betting topics"
Tyler: "But back to the sponsored segment, what is the sponsored- what is the purpose of the sponsored, or have you even gotten that far down the line. What is- what does the sponsored segment look like in cover"
Drew: "Well I don't think we've gotten that far down the line. Um, but, I- I think if you- I think if you watch obviously Football Night in America or any of the other shows that are in and around Sunday Night Football, or just the coverage of the highlights of the day or what have you, um, those- those topics are mixed in, in different ways"
Tyler: "I guess- I guess what I'm driving at Drew, and- and- and- and we're all admirers of your work, is the- is the difference this is making in the way we, um, we consume the sports product. And, and, it used to be that if, and up to right now, it used to be that if there was reference to gambling, it was often with a wink and a kind of disguised, um, uh, way. Al would say something like, 'Well this field goal is important only to people who blah blah.' It was not explicit. This is a change"
Drew: "Yeah I mean, I- I think that, that sports betting is something that obviously has been much more widely, um, embraced and, uh, accepted, especially, you know, by the NFL in the- in the stance that they've taken, and obviously the, the major networks as well, um, and so you see it become a lot more prevalent. Um, I mean, take a look at the journey that fantasy football has been on over the last 10 years, call it, you know, and the vested interest now that people take in watching games even if it's not necessarily to watch their favorite team or root for their favorite team, it's now because they have this collection of players on their fantasy team that they're rooting for because they're in these fantasy leagues that, you know, um, so I think it's just the next evolution"

Gorman, Morgan Stanley: Curiously elongated information bar; (the bio text is on board of directors page, which includes same photo but oddly b/w with other board members); photo feels a bit forced; size of face is smaller than all other members of exec team on same page; minimal ego, polite, agreeable presentation. Grade: C+

Brian Moynihan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch: Largest of the photos but proportionally reduced headsize; sense of professionalism, diligence, straightforwardness; least ebullient of the group; rare red text for nameline. Grade: B-

Charles W. Scharf, Wells Fargo: Collection of contrasts; combination neat/casual; youthful smile and graying hair; Silicon Valley-type look for legacy financial institution; implication of intellect. Grade: B

Jane Fraser, Citigroup: Relaxed, confident, energetic, eager to get to work, impossible to dislike; "Can I help you?" not "Go do this"; professional, appealing if conservative colors; perfect dimensions of image. Grade: A

David M. Solomon, Goldman Sachs: Comfortable, engaging, approachable, down to earth; warmest presentation of the group; equally at home with Treasury secretaries or building custodians; talks Libor or NFL playoffs; collar does look a bit trapped and while spacing is fine, font differential between nameline and title is significant. Grade: A+

Sleepy debut for ‘TechCheck’

With the TV business, like so many others, still in work-from-home mode, it seems a little odd to be launching a new show.

CNBC tried to convince viewers that's the case on Monday (4/12/21), when Carl Quintanilla, Dierdre Bosa, Jon Fortt and later Julia Boorstin ushered in "Tech Check" at 11 a.m. Eastern.

The show was indistinguishable from "Squawk Alley" and most other CNBC content. The premiere edition included exclusives with 3 decent Silicon Valley gets — Pat Gelsinger, Dara Khosrowshahi and Reid Hoffman. Fine, but the big get came earlier on a different CNBC show — Satya Nadella discussing the MSFT-NUAN deal.

“What a news day, uh, to kick off our premiere,” said Carl Quintanilla. Jon Fortt said of MSFT-NUAN, “This is exactly the kind of story that we are centered on here on Tech Check, the meaning behind it.” Sounds good, but the crew spent 8 minutes out of the hour on this subject, hardly opining on it themselves and bringing no outsiders in to say whether it's a good deal or a bust.

There were no noticeable sponsors indicated in the graphics, and there were no analysts nor print journalists nor tech fund investors on this episode.

Carl Quintanilla in his opening remarks described the show as "Our new show about the busines of technology." Dee Bosa followed up with, "We will also be covering the biggest stories and opportunities for investors." It's safe to say that's what's been happening in this time slot for about the last 31 years.

Pat Gelsinger, the first guest, billed as "exclusive" by Jon Fortt, played along, telling Fortt, "Great to be on the inauguration of, uh, 'Tech Check,' uh, with you." Fortt correctly asked what Gelsinger wanted to hear from the White House in the semiconductor meeting. Gelsinger said he wants to see "funding" for the CHIPS Act. We're not sure how successful industries need government investments to compete with China, but we're guessing that whatever Gelsinger wanted to hear, he heard.

At the 13-minute mark, Quintanilla requested what every new CNBC show asks for — tweets. "We wanna hear from you. We're gonna solicit views from viewers," Quintanilla said. What a surprise. Later in the show, they read off a batch and actually went through them too quickly for viewers to see what each one said. The question was, Which tech stories aren't being covered enough? Zzzzzzzzzz.

CNBC has been using the name "Tech Check" for years as a series of daily online snippets, usually not much more than 1-minute long, in which Bosa or another West Coast correspondent rattles off the day's Silicon Valley headlines. Bosa on Monday indicated those types of features will continue. "Tech Check is not just a 1-hour show here on CNBC. It is a brand that will have a full digital presence online," Bosa said. Is it possible for something online to have a half-full digital presence?

Lee Cooperman moved by extraordinary
Wall Street tributes read on CNBC

Scott Wapner: "I also reached out to some of, uh, the heavyweights if you will of- of this business, uh, to get sort of their thoughts on, on what you've meant to the industry ... Mario Gabelli, who ... stuck with you through thick and thin, writes to me, 'After Lee started his firm in the early '90s, he would grill me on stocks that he thought I had a core competency in. It was as though I was his younger teammate. He still does that.' Uh, David Tepper, uh, wrote to me, 'I knew Lee from when he headed an investment committee at Goldman Sachs I was on, and I always considered him one of the all-time great stock-pickers.' David Einhorn says, uh, 'Lee has boundless energy, is a fantastic storyteller with a long memory and has an anecdote for every situation. But even more he has a heart of golden generosity. He is a terrific example for everyone in my generation.' Uh, Lee when- when you hear that, I'm wondering what you think"
Lee: "Well, it brings tears to my eyes. … Shouldn't do that to me. Not in a public arena"
Trump's trade: "I think it's very dangerous, I think he's on the wrong track, and I hope he backs off"

Graduation gift: CNBC’s Seema Mody speaks to alma mater

Mr. Braun taught me how to embrace different religions and see life through different cultural lenses. Plus he taught me how to laugh at corny jokes — that's very important"

"A thought that I have is the United States could lead a coalition of large trading partners and allies against China, or to let China know that they're breaking the rules left and right. That's the way I'd like to see. You call it a sort of a trade coalition of the willing"
Hoffman statement: "Larry's been part of the fabric of CNBC since our founding in 1989. We thank him for his many contributions and wish him well."
Emotional appreciation: "I talked to Mark today; it's extremely kind. Um, the last 25 years of my life has been tied up with CNBC, which changed my life, changed my profession, um, and has been a family to me, and however this thing works out, it will be God's will, uh, if there's an opportunity when my service is complete, I hope very much to come back and help CNBC. It is my family and it has changed my life. CNBC also years back gave me a 2nd chance after my crash and burn ... I love this place"
New York Times: "Mr. Kudlow’s selection startled some in the West Wing, who were unaware it was happening ... latest move by Mr. Trump to surround himself with loyalists ... Stock markets, which have been rattled by the White House tariffs, did not react positively to news of Mr. Kudlow's appointment on Wednesday. ... Mr. Kudlow criticized the president after the emergence of the 'Access Hollywood' tape in October 2016. He later re-endorsed him, but Mr. Trump, who nurses grudges, was angry for some time, according to people close to him"
Bloomberg: "He cited a source — who he hinted was Trump — telling him that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 'has been on the phone with the president' making concessions on NAFTA negotiations 'hand over fist.' ... Earlier this month, he wrote a column for CNBC describing the president's tariffs as 'a regressive tax on low-income families.' ... In December 2007, he was arguing there was no recession and that the 'Bush boom continues' ... warned in 2010 that former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen would usher in a new era of higher inflation"
Politico: "Trump offered the job to Kudlow over the phone Tuesday night while Kudlow was at dinner at Cipriani restaurant in Manhattan ... During the call, Trump said he was seeing Kudlow's photo on television and told him: 'You're looking handsome, Larry.' ... Kudlow's television presence is part of the reason Trump wanted him for the job, according to a senior White House official. Trump regularly complains that he does not have enough talented people making the case for his policies on television."
Wall Street Journal: "Grew up in a Republican family in northern New Jersey's upwardly mobile suburbs, became a leader of the antiwar movement during the Vietnam War"
Jerry Bowyer, 2013: "Larry's fundamental commitment was to optimism, not to free market capitalism ... producers calling and saying 'Larry's looking for the optimism case.' Larry putting formerly optimistic guests 'in the penalty box' for not providing it. Larry dropping good thinkers with good minds when they turned pessimistic."
Associated Press: "He converted from Judaism to Catholicism, according to a 2000 interview with the religious magazine Crisis. After graduating as a history major from the University of Rochester in 1969, he worked on Democratic campaigns in New York. But he evolved into a committed Republican ... Customarily attired in narrow-lapelled suits, Kudlow has relied on the same Savile Row-trained, New York-based tailor, Leonard Logsdail, for 26 years. Logsdail said Kudlow still wears some of the first suits he made for him. 'He does take care of them,' the tailor said."

Dan DiMicco tells Sully, ‘You’re dead wrong’

Dan: "That's where you're dead wrong"

Dan: "Is this Brian?"
Sully: "Yes it is"
Dan: "Brian, you're dead wrong on that"
Sully: "I'm not just wrong- how am I dead wrong. They're 11th"
Dan: "Those are the kind of numbers people throw out when they're trying to make a distorted point because they don't want to see what's going on for the American people. OK, here's the real deal. China's overcapacity is huge ... Just because we've won some trade cases against China in the short term that has cut back on their direct shipments of steel, doesn't mean that the steel that they are making isn't going into other countries and forcing them to sh- to move their products that they were selling in other countries in the world (sic last 3 words redundant) now into the United States"
Sully: "Dan my numbers- I just wanna be clear for the audience. I mean, my numbers are from the U.S. government"
Dan: "But they don't include the trans-shipping, they don't include the impact ..."

Sully: "Friendly with many of us … Anthony obviously giving perhaps an unfortunate interview to the New Yorker magazine's Ryan Lizza in which he, uh, used some choice language … maybe the most short-lived tenure of any communications director in the White House"
Melissa: "Remember that initial White House press briefing in which he took the lectern and basically wowed a lot of people, they really thought that, uh, Scaramucci had done an excellent job, that initial day, uh, and then it seemed to be sort of a descent from there"
Tyler: "This sounds like, Mr. Scaramucci, meet General Kelly. Mr. General Kelly, meet Mr. Scaramucci. And that does sounds like it did not go well"
Kayla: "You can bet that this is going to be toward the top of the list of the questions that (Sarah Huckabee Sanders) will be receiving … His appointment in the beginning ruffled feathers … at first the president really liked it, but then when Anthony Scaramucci became the story … reports in Page 6 in the New York Post about his family drama"
John Harwood: "The likeliest scenario, that, uh this is something that John Kelly, uh, who means to impose discipline on the White House staff, uh, insisted upon … Obviously in any normal White House, he would've been fired as soon as that interview took place"
Kayla: Kelly "is definitely not someone that if you are in the White House you want to be messing with"
Tony Fratto: "You can't parachute into those jobs any more than I can parachute into being a hedge fund manager"
Melissa: "It's simply bad judgment isn't it"
Pat Buchanan: Kelly "basically was repelled by what Scaramucci said and the way he said it … and he exercised immediate and swift and decisive command … I think it's an extremely healthy sign of the potential of the general ... his first step was dramatic and impressive and correct"
Sully: "President Obama went through 4 chiefs of staff in 4 years … and that was a record by the way"
John: "This is, um, a disorderly White House from the top, and that's really the problem"
Sully: "Robert Costa tweeting right now saying uh that uh apparently according to his sources the president did not like the vulgarity in the New Yorker article … He does not drink, he does not smoke, he does not necessarily curse … "

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera:
‘Paul Tudor Jones said out loud what we all know to be anecdotally true,’ Karen Finerman is ‘exception that proves the rule’

Karen Finerman: "Well my first response was I just could not believe he said it. And so I, I wanted to make sure that I had it right, and I went and I looked at the video, and of course you just showed it, so yes, he said it, and, uh, I, I, I know, I know that he's apologized, that he didn't mean to offend anyone, and I believe he was saying it, he was- an attempt to be very candid, I can't believe also that he didn't think that will- would never get out, but it's sort of- I mean on so many levels, it makes me wonder, 1, what if you don't nurse, do you not then have that- are you, do you keep your judgment then if you don't nurse. That's sort of something that popped into my head"
Amanda Drury: "And also, is he also saying that global macro traders that are guys are not great dads because they're always off 24/7 on the phone trading stuff"
Karen Finerman: "Right, I just- I don't really accept that premise either. If you are a mother, I really sort of do wonder, how long this would knock you off your game for. And, it, I don't know, on so many levels, I know so many women, far more successful than I, who have done an extraordinary job of raising kids, and also, uh, you know, trading, trading their books"
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera: "I think Paul Tudor Jones said out loud what we all know to be anecdotally true. That women, it's not that they don't have the ability, it's just, if they have a child, priorities tend to change. It takes up a lot of time. A child is a huge, huge commitment. And so-"
Amanda Drury: "And not necessarily a bad thing"
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera: "It's not necessarily a bad thing, he's not saying that, that they can't do it, it's just, it gets a lot tougher. Priorities often change. And I think Karen, you are awesome, but you are the exception I think that proves the rule. Let's face it: How many other women are on 'Fast Money.' I mean when you look at the breakdown of people- when you look at the breakdown of people who are on CNBC. It's a guys-and-ties network. I mean let's not kid anybody!"
Karen Finerman: "Yes I hear you-"
Brian Sullivan ridiculously removes tie: "Here we go, no more guys in ties"
Karen Finerman: "Let me just add 1 thing"
Brian Sullivan: "I don't wanna get accused of dodging the conversation. All right, I know hedge fund managers that have what they call the large-house indicator. Right. What they say is, if they have an investment manager, or a fellow hedge fund manager, whatever, that starts to build a new mansion, they will often times use that- or CEO of a company, they'll use that as a negative and either get out of it or trim, because building a home is a year-long process, takes a lot of energy, you're not focused on what you're doing. So I don't think just has to be about gender. If you've got any big undertaking you take on, that reduces your focus. I'm not defending what he said-"
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera: "Except this happens to be about having babies for women, which is just a huge thing in, in most women's life"
Brian Sullivan: "If I was a hedge fund manager and a CEO of a company bought a 200-foot yacht, I would sell the shares of that company probably short that next day"
Karen Finerman: "I mean also there's the private plane indicator, you get the private plane, you're not hungry anymore, then you don't care. I, I don't really buy that, I think it also makes the case that women don't have the judgment to know, after they've had a baby, whether or not they are still interested in being in the game. Now that may be his experience, and I believe him when he says that's what he's found to be true, and he gave a couple examples of a, you know, two women from Maryland the '70s, he probably has more recent examples than that, but is he just open to the possibility, the possibility, that maybe it's not true, that there will never be just as many women investors as men, never, period, end of story. Isn't it possible?"
Amanda Drury: "And the other thing is Karen, and you've touched on this, I mean, we would've said in the past, it would've been decades, maybe not even so long ago, we would've said that we can't have a good female doctor, she can't possibly be on call because she's got to be at home feeding her child at night. Right?"
Karen Finerman: "And now look. Now look, there are just as many women, or maybe it's about the same number of women graduating from medical school as men and you're right, years and years ago, that was thought as an impossibility"
