Description
As votes are counted across the country, David Rubenstein, co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, expects market jitters to continue until a clear winner emerges. He and IAC Chairman Barry Diller consider what political division in the U.S. means for the next four years of policy, business, international relations, and the American psyche, regardless of the election outcome. Diller reflects on liberal moral superiority, a potentially fatal flaw of the Democratic Party, and says that humility and respect are the keys to a hopeful future. Both Rubenstein and Diller agree that whatever his fate, Donald Trump is a political force to be respected and not dismissed.
