So they're very interested in what's playing out with Trump and the tech people.

Anyway, we have to get to the news.

Speaking of great entrepreneurs, Ted Turner, the media mogul, CNN founder who helped create the 24-hour news cycles died at 87.

Turner was also a major philanthropist making a record $1 billion donation to establish the United Nations Foundation.

He was a different kind of billionaire.

although he was also, it was called the mouth of the South.

Beyond media and philanthropy, Turner pursued countless other passions

His Montana Grill, this is an eco-conscious restaurant chain being named Yachtsman of the Year multiple times.

He was Larry Ellison before Larry Ellison.

He announced he had Lewy body dementia, progressive brain disorder in 2018.

Jane Fonda, one of Turner's ex-wives who remained a close friend, remembered him saying, men like Ted aren't supposed to express need and vulnerability.

That was Ted's greatest strength, I believe.

And he was.

And I recently interviewed her and she had told me he was quite ill.

I talked to him a little bit for my books on AOL.

He was real mad about the sale and everything else, except that when he sold the company, he had that famous quote where he said, this deal was better than sex.

Do you remember that?

He always had something kooky to say at any one moment.

A lot of people are like, oh, he's the reason we have terrible cable.

His vision of cable was not this, what has happened.
