I mean, I think this is a really interesting part of the story, which is Bob Iger obviously left Disney and then he came back. It's kind of like LeBron James leaving Cleveland and then coming back for the second stint. And, you know, Bob might be a little bit more washed up. You talked about the hot mic moment now, but I still think he is one of the best executives probably ever in media.

And I would not bet against Disney. I think you've shown the streaming numbers are turning around. They have, I think, one of the premier brands in all of business. You like are a bad parent if you don't take your kid to Disney World. So they really own that relationship with a young generation. And I think Bob is putting them in a good spot.

But the succession planning, because they have announced that they're trying to find a new CEO in early 2026. That is what I think is going to be kind of the linchpin of this continued success of Disney. Can they find someone to replace Bob Iger? Because the first time they tried, they didn't. They put in another Bob and that didn't work.

So just pick someone without the name of Bob and maybe you're in a better spot. So, Anne, what do you think of the succession plan? Are they going to find someone to replace Bob Iger?

Yeah, I think that's a really great call out. And I think that is right. That is the question. Like Disney has been very successful. Bob Iger left. Things started to get rocky. He came back turning it around. Can Disney exist in a post Bob Iger world? We got James Gorman and company on it. We'll see how it goes. Let's move on to the dog of the week. My dog of the week is electric dog. vehicles.

Now, this holiday season, I'm hoping Santa can fit an EV down your chimney because come 2025, these vehicles might be getting a little more expensive. Now, the Trump transition team is discussing ending the $7,500 EV subsidy as part of a broader tax reform effort. This EV tax credit was actually established as part of the inflation reduction.

Now, the current EV tax credit, if left alone, is set to remain in place for 10 years. And there's actually a big change in 2024 that allowed consumers to use a point of sale discount. Essentially, instead of claiming this as a credit on their tax return, they would get the discount immediately at point of sale. So it pushed a lot of people to feel a lot more comfortable buying EVs.

It also allowed electric vehicle companies or companies trying to establish themselves in the EV space to to remain profitable on these vehicles because they were getting essentially $7,500 from the government. This was effective. In 2023, EV sales in the U.S.
