About the episode

Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss the ongoing disruption at 60 Minutes, most recently the hiring of Nick Bilton as EP and the firing of correspondent Scott Pelley. They dig into what the plan to “modernize 60 Minutes” actually means, what this says about David Ellison’s leadership, whether this threatens the Ellison media empire, and ultimately whether this could stop the WarnerMount merger (02:48). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about who will attend the UFC Freedom 250 event on the White House lawn on Sunday, June 12 (28:59).
