[laughter] stephen: actually, we have a jewish cornerback. josh rosen. david: there are some jewish players. stephen: i wish he was a better quarterback. [laughter] david: did you think you would be an nfl player? stephen: no. david: let's talk about how you actually came to be an owner. it's not that easy to buy a team. it costs a fair amount of money. you grew up in detroit? stephen: yes. david: your father was an inventor. stephen: right. david: is that a real job that you tinker with things? stephen: well, i mean, he was always tinkering. always in the office trying to do something. david: is that a steady income? stephen: not really. he did well. he married my mother. she had a wealthy father. david:

david: why? stephen: it was always a dream to go to the university of michigan and i didn't have the grades right out of high school so i was able to transfer from florida to mash again -- michigan. you have given the university of michigan about $400 million? stephen: more. david: has the university of florida ever said to you "you were here for one year, why don't you give us anything?" [laughter] why don't you give us anything?" [laughter] don't even think they know who i am. david: why did you go to law school? is it because you're jewish? after wayne state law school you went to nyu to get a masters in tax. stephen: yes. david: then you went back to detroit and worked at a tax firm? stephen: i was a tax lawyer. to new yorkyou went in investment banking. stephen: i thought i would go back to detroit eventually but it was like i came home to a place i've never been. new york is an exciting place for young people that really want to succeed. david: you work at bear stearns and then you got fire

david: ok. so for those who don't really follow this, you started as a discount broker where you were giving lower commissions than the standard rates were before. today, you have become a conglomerate, in effect, in the financial services world. you have about $3.7 trillion of assets under management. so you make your money on other financial services, is that correct? charles: correct. but you know, one of the things, we are a conglomerate. but we are really not in the original sense. we only focus on what we can do for individual investors and advisors who have individual investors. david: so when you started doing this more than 40-some years ago, did you ever envision that you would be in more than the discount brokerage business? did you say i was going to build a giant conglomerate or not? charles: i did not, david. i mean certainly, we had a very limited view of where we were at the time. but frankly, we thought the original business only had -- would help maybe 10% or 15% of the populat

david: right. charles: similar, in our case, we think we will do very well offering our services free for transactions, and that is the commodity part of the business. the rest, we give people help and advice on different kinds of things, managed accounts, banking, all of those things. but the fundamental service we want to provide is free. david: so i should not worry about chuck schwab and not making money because you are giving -- charles: you should not worry about it. we are giving up 4% of our revenue in that decision. david: for those who don't really follow this, you started as a discount broker where you were giving lower commissions than the standard rates were before. today, you have become a conglomerate, in effect, in the financial services world. you have about $3.7 trillion of assets under management. so you make your money on other financial services, is that correct? charles: correct. one of the things, we are a conglomerate. but we are really not in the original sense. we only foc

[laughter] maybe i would be playing today. [laughter] david: did you ever think you would be an nfl player? stephen: not a quarterback.

[laughter] david: so let me ask about this. when will the dolphins be in the super bowl? anytime soon? and i read that tom brady might be a free agent. i don't know if you are allowed to talk about that as an owner. stephen: i heard he was going to be a free agent. but i would say that we are not allowed to talk to him until sometime in march. and you know, we are a team that is building. i don't know why he would want to come to the dolphins. he is probably one of the fiercest competitors there is. and you know, we are at the stage where the dolphins are trying to really build the team for the future and doing it through the draft. david: when it was announced super bowl is coming here, did a one of your friends say, by the way, i would like some tickets? how do you get tickets for this? stephen: i have been inundated with requests for tickets. really the n

david: i think so. another very visible investment that you made was a very large investment, i think about $45 billion into the so-called first vision fund. so what brought that about, and are you happy with that investment? yasir: the alignment of the thinking -- that is what brought it. i remember sitting down with the crown prince, trying to strategize what exactly would be like to be invested in. of course, it is the future. so we said artificial intelligence, robotics, internet of things. so these were the main things that we would like to be in. remember, 70% of our population is under the age of 30. so we need to have something sustainable for them and for longer-term. forwhen i met with masa-san the first time, he was talking about the exact same things that we were looking for. so the alignment of the thinking us makedrove us to have a party ship with softbank. david: so today you are happy with the investment? 2.5r: it is so far, after $9.5 billion. that is fine. david: so after you made a $4

david: did you play golf at stanford? charles: i did play golf at stanford, only as a freshman, only for a period of time. and i almost flunked out. this was what happened. i was not prepared for college at that moment. david: you graduated from stanford. you went to stanford business school. and you did pretty well at stanford business school. charles: i did. david: when you graduate from stanford business school, did you say, i'm going to join a private equity firm or hedge fund or what did you do? charles: no. i always wanted to do research. as a kid, i wanted to find out how could i become successful. that was important to me. i came through the depression years, my parents did. and i wanted to sort of make money and get the resources to have choices in my life. so i moved off -- financial services was the way to go. so at age 13 or 14, i began to think about this thing, the stock market. and i went to stanford economics, business school, all financial investment management, all of that, in my early career. and then i
