  • A May 21 report from the Daily Beast revealed that top executives at Disney and ABC News recommended reducing the amount of political discussion on the show, although they presented this as a suggestion rather than a formal mandate.

  • During the May 22 show, Goldberg declared, “There's no white genocide, OK?”, countering Trump’s false claims and dedicating the first ten minutes to politics despite executive concerns.
  • This episode highlights tensions between the hosts’ political focus and Disney executives’ efforts to balance content amid a politically sensitive and turbulent environment.
