"if I were advising Warner Brothers Discovery, I would say I prefer the Netflix deal simply because I have greater confidence in the equity component for the equity component for Paramount. I've got Mr. Ellison saying, trust me, okay, I can trust you're the richest guy in the world or one of the richest guys. I've got a lot of Mideast money.
