bob iger did an incredible job at rolling this out. probably heading towards a 20 million subscribers at the end of 2019. that is a staggering number. how do you grow from there? there will need to be a lot more programming in order to keep you interested. right now you're burning through a lot of library. people are going through re-watching as her's of waverly place, hannah montana. when they get to that, they will realize they need -- how much does disney invest and how much are they were lying on legacy movies and the legacy content? to mitigate?enough our guess is that you will see disney spend a lot more money and collapse with no -- windows. --e into will not be taylor: that was rich greenfield. 2019 was the year of the tech ipo uber. uber dominated the news. one in particular, investors were waiting for. it was supposed to be the ipo of the year. it was supposed to be the world's most valuable, with a suppose it market value of as much as $120 billion, but all of that changed during their debut, dropping almost 11% in the first

the team working for bob iger on rolling this out didn't -- did an incredible job.e probably heading towards 20 plus million subscribers by the end of 2019. in a couple months they will have added 20 million subscribers. that is a staggering number. the question is how do you grow from there. they're needs to be a lot more programming to keep you interested. right now you're burning through a lot of library. people are real watching hannah montana, wizards of waverly place. when they get through that they will realize there is not a lot of fresh content, especially for a more mature audience. that is where it will be interesting to see how much does disney invest and how much are they relying on legacy movies and legacy content. and will that really be enough to mitigate churn? they are collapsing windows so movies will not be on disney plus for six months, those windows will close. apple it is early. they are playing the long game. there is a lot of content coming. they are pretty pleased with how their shows have done initially. but there is a tremendous cadence o

francine lacqua moderated a lively discussion between jamie dimon and bob iger.rancine: what advice would you give or take from politicians? >> i seek advice from politicians when it comes to regulation in various countries around the world, get advice about government relations and the knowledge they may have about government officials, but most politicians you deal with have never been in business. so seeking business advice from politicians is something i don't normally do. they help us enter markets, but it is pretty limited to that. >> policy is complicated. collaboration is necessary. the road to hell is paved with good intentions. a lot of policies are supposed to lift up the people of the country and they drag them down, i can give you a million examples. really good politicians should figure out the policy, figure out what can be achieved, and get it done, as opposed with going with the wind and thinking oversimplistic things will actually work. countries around the world are doing great for people and some are doing terrible. the terrible is always in t

>> well, number two bob iger coming into it this season you have to take a look both of you have rememberthing he could for him business z as iger was taking over his predecessor michael ikchael eisr trashed him a bit. you look at these last, i don't know, 13 years or so under iger, it's remarkable. you look at the best 12 box office triumphs of this period of time they are all his you take a look at the brilliance of doing marvel and lucas arts and putting them together with pixar the 20th century fox purchase it's extraordinary. his total shareholder return is up like 600% in this period of time but he's also shown a responsible backbone you remember how he had to pull roseanne barr off the air for inflammatory comments and things he has shown himself to be responsible and probably would have been a good president if he ran. >> he gave up those ambitions to get the streaming service off the ground and make the 20th century fox acquisition. >> he would have run if not those and the disney plus -- >> by the way, it's not too late. >> well, yeah, there's still time for him when he retires.

and so, you can't help but look at and admire what bob iger has done.of those companies? jeffrey: 100%. he has made what may be one of the boldest, most ambitious bets that anybody in modern business has ever made. they are the number one company today as an entertainment media company, without peer. have the best franchises, the best ip. he decides that the future of the enterprise, which he is the steward at the moment -- he has a great deal of humility about it -- and realizes he has the baton. he's going to run with it, and he is going to pass it at some point. he has decided after 12 of the most spectacular years as ceo, he has decided to push all the chips in to say for this company to have as great a future as it has a past, he has to transform it. bet on bob iger. no problem. emily: would you bet on reed hastings? jeffrey: 100%. and i would bet on steve burke, and brian roberts. i would bet on at&t. these are phenomenal enterprises, great leadership. they are all going to be in some fashion, shape, or form -- it is not clear what that is yet --

. >> was there any competition at all from business person of the year to bob iger, given the huge, thee a businessperson. we've been doing runners-up for many years and we thought it would be more interesting, more reflective of the way influence is exercised around the world and think not of runners-up but of specific fields. i think what doug mcmillan is doing at walmart is impressive, and fascinating, and you know, many voices in the business community talking about stakeholders and not just shareholders. so there's a lot of dynamism, a lot of turmoil in the business world, but iger is such a consistent player, controls the world's biggest dream machine. disney plus, but also he won the fox battle and just $5 billion-plus movies, so it's been a great year for disney and an incredible, consistent run for iger. >> excellent choice for athlete of the year.

it hits it -- bob iger is the best in the business, bar none.the management of this company is superb. everything that they do, the portfolio of businesses that they own in terms of just the content alone is staggering, plus they have so much going on. this is another perfect example of what a brilliant management move is. instead of bringing out mandalorian friday, they bring it out on wednesday to get people into the theaters on friday, to actually see it. stuart: smart move. susan? susan: that's exactly it. if you actually tune into the mandalorian tonight, you actually get a sneak peek into the rise of skywalker. you get the easter eggs, these hints and jokes that the "star wars" fans usually get. the mandalorian already priced in for a second season because of the cult success of a little creature called baby yoda. stuart: crank up ash's mic. he just snored through that. go. go. susan: talk about "rise of skywalker" which is set to open on thursday. opening weekend expected to be close to $200 million. mixed reviews so far. take a look at t

bob buyer wanted to spread the wealth a little bit. they want to churn out movies every other year. >> that's true. i'm amazed to hear you of all people talk about mr. igerers wanna be, he is spreading the wealth a little bit. the fact of the matter future is here. disney plus has "the mandalorian," the first live action "star wars" tv series in four decades. they will have more movies. this is the end of the skywalker saga. this is not the end of "star wars." "star wars" will be on multiple platforms for decades. neil: i heard the same thing. it is the end of the skywalker series. good to know. where are we going now, if the skywalker thing is done, who is next to go back or forward in time. >> we've seen a little bit with the "rogue one" movie in 2016 a lot of different parts you could play to. you could successfully make movies out of half the half the creatures in the first "star wars" movie cantina episode. neil: there we go. we lost him for no reason at all. me thinks the force was not with him. anyway the movie is out. enjoy it. my kids are enjoying it. they will have a great time. i'm telling you, enough already. let's move on but apparently i'm
