The Queen of Cable & the U.S. Education Secretary 5/28/25

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon discusses the Trump administration’s feud with Harvard, as well as the idea of taxing well-endowed universities more like corporations. Bonnie Hammer, former Vice Chair of NBCUniversal and dubbed the “queen of cable,” discusses the future of streamed and linear content. This graduation season, Hammer warns that AI could be more a hindrance than a help for fresh applicants on the job hunt. Plus, Elon Musk has expressed doubts about the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill,” and CNBC’s MacKenzie Sigalos is in Las Vegas with the crypto world for Bitcoin 2025.
