There's been so much tension between the U.S.

and China on the race to win, you know, the artificial intelligence race, trade tensions and tariffs.

And so, you know, when Trump and Xi met, we were told going into that a deal would be finalized.

Nothing was really put on paper after that, as far as we could tell.

But here now we see that something has been finalized and this deal is moving forward.

The whole of society needs to understand that the people who three or four years ago were your neighbors have been through something entirely different.

And the warmer the welcome they receive here, the fewer tragedies we'll face, fewer suicides, less drug abuse and alcoholism there will be.

Yeah, Mickey Mouse as well as Elsa from Frozen.

My daughter will be very excited about that.

Why are they doing it?

I think, you know, I think Disney may be feeling some FOMO, fear of missing out, when it comes to AI.

I know that they have some internal projects that they've been working on to figure out how to do movie making in the AI era.

But this gives them a real stake in the AI race.

And it's interesting to watch the flow of money.

So OpenAI is getting...

access to more than 200 Disney characters for three years, exclusively for the first year starting in 2026.

But the money is flowing from Disney to OpenAI, that $1 billion investment.

I think, again, this gives Disney a stake.

With a company that, frankly, has riled a lot, ruffled a lot of feathers in Hollywood.
