Olympics Opening Ceremonies: Airbnb’s Brian Chesky & IAC’s Barry Diller 07/26/24
Episode description
On the ground in Paris for the Olympics, Andrew Ross Sorkin gets a head start on interviews with the Games attendees, hours before the opening ceremonies on the Seine. Joe Kernen and Becky Quick, in New York until their trips to Paris over the weekend, discuss France’s millions of Olympics visitors and security concerns as the city fills up. Already there is Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who says hundreds of thousands of those visitors booked stays through his platform–including one lucky couple staying in the Musée d’Orsay. Also settled for the Games: IAC chairman Barry Diller. The media mogul and Democratic donor discusses why he stopped supporting President Biden’s reelection campaign and why he has full faith in Vice President Kamala Harris. Plus, a veteran media executive, Diller explains why he is no longer vying for Paramount Global. Tune into the Olympics on NBC for the opening ceremonies and all the Games!
