CNBC Edits Rubenstein's Comment to Wilfred Frost


Yesterday I saw irritation/snippyness in Carlyle co-founder David Rubenstein's response to CNBC host Wilfred Frost.  

Rubenstein held it together when Wilfred asked about damage to Carlyle's reputation for backing away from American Express Global Travel deal.

In a followup question about Material Adverse Event clauses Rubenstein said something about Frost's job which was edited out of the CNBC's clip.   It seemed snippy and that may be why his reply got snipped.  It could also be the price of a future CNBC interview.   Have to keep the oligarch's happy.
