Summary

AT&T CEO John Stankey says “the glory days are still in front of us” when it comes to the future of HBO. He discusses the company’s first quarter results, prioritizing dividends for shareholders, and voting rights across America. CNBC’s Diana Olick reports President Joe Biden’s aggressive new sustainability goals, targeting a 50-52% reduction from 2005 levels of greenhouse gas pollution by 2030. Pets became an even bigger part of our lives throughout the pandemic and stay-at-home mandates. Ron Coughlin, CEO of Petco, discusses the surge in pet adoptions, and the push for pet-friendly workplaces. Plus, crypto madness and (maybe) understanding Dogecoin.
