And still to come on this podcast... Why Disney is giving TikTok users access to its films and TV...

Now, the senator who led that effort, Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky,

He's held his vote to hold him in contempt, which means that now that case will be referred to the Justice Department.

So Rand Paul, who's again leading this effort, has decided to circumvent that effort and he's going directly to the Justice Department.

But at the moment, it's not

at all clear that the Justice Department will opt to prosecute Dr Fauci for this.

I think that Disney has seen the light.

I know they have, actually, about the permanence and the importance of this cradle, that economy and the vertical video that comes from that.

So they have to find a way to combine these experiences.

And look, Disney Plus is the way to do it.

I don't think Disney Plus is going to end up being a social media storytelling operation.

It's still going to be

based on and focused on the storytelling that they've been doing for decades.

But this new component will open up a different avenue, different use case.

The change in consumer behavior is impossible to overstate.

For users that are 13 and younger, 75% of their usage of media is on social media platforms, YouTube and TikTok especially, and video games.

I should throw that in there too.

Only 25% of those young person's time is spent with TV shows that are either streamed or on a TV channel, more and more streaming, obviously, and movies, including theatrical releases.

So there's been a dramatic shift in where their audience wants to be and where the audience wants to interact with not only Disney programming, but all programming.

Traditional media companies must make this change.
