About the episode

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss Disney’s pushback against the Trump administration by challenging the FCC’s investigation of The View, saying it infringes on the First Amendment and free speech. They debate what this strong political stance means for Disney under new CEO Josh D’Amaro and dig into Disney’s first earnings call under D’Amaro, highlighting what he did and didn’t say in his mission statement (00:00). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the government’s investigation of the NFL’s antitrust exemptions (24:15).
