President Trump will soon attend his first G20 Summit, a gathering between representatives from the world's 20 largest economies. There's a lot to unpack: it will not only be the first meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as global leaders, but many are expecting tension between Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel because of their stances on climate change and free trade. After we talk about what's in store for the summit, we'll look at two economic indicators that have been performing well lately: consumer confidence and home prices. Then, we'll discuss how the Disney Channel can survive the new era of cord-cutting.
