Anthony Scaramucci

They're spending money and they're picking weaker candidates.

And you know, when they did weaker candidates like this in 22, they lost caddy.

We'll have to see, Caddy.

But I like Talrico.

He's an articulate young man.

He's got money behind him.

But I just, this machinery that they've built.

California will grind down the kid that's running against Karen Bass.

And same thing will happen in Texas.

See you next week.

Welcome to Open Book.

I am your host, Anthony Scaramucci.

Joining us today, best-selling New York Times author, host of Dedicated, Douglas Brunt.

But what a great book.

The Lost Empire of Emmanuel Nobel, Romanoff's Revolutionaries, and the Forgotten Titan Who Fueled the World.

I learned so much in this book, but it reads, it's just an awesome book because I feel like you have figured out a way to create page turning in history.

So we want to talk a little bit about your writing style at some point too.

But let's go, I want to go, if you don't mind, I want to go to Rudolph Diesel, who's another towering figure, underappreciated industrial figure.

You wrote about him in the last book, which I love, which caused me to buy this book.

And so talk about these two figures together, if you don't mind, to get this started.
