what is right and what is wrong. and that just seemed wrong. it seemed potentially harmful to kids. listen also to how iger responded earlier this year when our friend cara swisher asked him about, by the way, about potentially coming back. one of the things that cnbc polled ten media executives anonymously about their 2022 predictions and one was that you ll return to disney. as what? i don t know. mickey mouse character. yes. there are rumors that you could become disney s ceo again. that s ridiculous. i was ceo for a long time. you can t go home again, i m gone. really? it s happened before. i gave my id up, my name tag up, my office, my email address it s all gone. i think if i wanted to run a company i d still be running disney. no, i did that. now he is. joining us now, sarah fisher. it s great to have you.
