mary kay henry, we really appreciate it. big, big moment for all of these strikes across the country. you can watch, of course, kristen welker's entire interview with former president trump this sunday on "meet the press." kristen has also reached out to president biden for an interview. we should note, who hasn't agreed yet. >>> now let's turb to disney, which is in talks apparently with several bidders to sell its abc network. something the ceo bob iger has hinted might happen, as he tries to remake the company in the streaming era. the stock, disney, down 23% this year, and more than 50% below all-time highs. let's bring in cnbc.com's alex sherman with more on how this process could play out and who the possible buyers could be. alex. >> yeah, thanks. i think we're early, very early in this process still. in fact, disney released a public statement last night saying look, we made no decisions whatsoever here. but we're thinking about what we might do with our assets, which echoes what disney's ceo bob iger said to our own

, mary kay scanlon has been a great friend as well.. i was going to see her first. do you want to come up here and do this, old buddy? i told -- when i ran for president i told you i would have your back and i have. you know, there are a lot of politicians in this country who don't know how to say the word union. they talk about labor, they don't say union. it's union. i'm one of them. i'm proud to say union. i'm proud to be the most pro-union president according to the experts in american history. by the way, i make no bones about that. folks, in this labor -- let me tell you what we're celebrating. we're celebrating jobs, good-paying jobs, jobs you can raise a family on. union jobs. you've heard me say it before, but my dad used to have an expression, i swear to god, he would say, joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. it's about your dignity. it's about respect. it's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say it's going to be okay and mean it when you say it. and he was right. i'm determined to make that a realit

so thank you mary kay, jake, patty and molly. i love you. right. let's talk a little bit. we only have a few minutes left. let's talk a little bit about about policy and actually early in and connected to family, too, in a way early in the book you note a connection between your family and that of the kennedy family. so tell me about that and then about legacy of john f kennedy, the 1963 community mental health act. yeah, well, i mean, the kennedys were irish and catholic. there were a lot of them and a lot of and they died tragically, many of them. and yeah rosemary who famous infamously had been the subject of a le bother me, you know, the who developed a lobotomy won the nobel peace prize but anyway nonetheless that's a book and all in and of itself but she ended up being so disabled by her by this procedure that she ended up of all places st columba's in jefferson in wisconsin in the very facility that my mother's brother john was at. and so president i think because of his experience and his sister eunice shriver was very involved in special olympics and then calling
