How to manage stress

Transkriptionen afslører en historie om, hvordan Donald Trump bag kulisserne manipulerer med en stor medietransaktion for at sikre, at CNN kommer under venligt, højreorienteret ejerskab. Selvom Trump offentligt har påstået at holde sig udenfor opkøbsforsøget af Warner Bros. Discovery og CNN, har han i hemmelighed mødt sig med David Ellison fra Paramount for at rådgive. Ydermere har han afskediget Abigail Slater, chefen for antitrust-afdelingen i Justitsministeriet, som var en potentiel barriere for transaktionen. Dette har banet vejen for, at Warner Bros. nu genoptager forhandlinger med Paramount (Ellison-familien) på trods af et lavere bud end konkurrenten Netflix. Analysen tyder på, at Trumps motiv er at få kontrol over store medievirksomheder for at påvirke den offentlige debat, især i en tid, hvor traditionel tv-nyhedsdækning er aftagende til fordel for uafhængige platforme som YouTube, som han ikke kan styre. Historien fremstiller Trump som en "deal maker", der bruger sin position til at påvirke regulering og medielandskabet til fordel for politiske allierede.

After telling the American people that he was going to stay out of it, related to his friends, trying to acquire CNN and its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, Donald Trump has been secretly meeting with David Ellison, the netpo baby son of the Ellison family who owns Oracle, to try to not only advise on how to acquire CNN and Warner Bros. in their fight against Netflix, who wants to acquire the same assets, but is also, of course, in control of the major governmental regulator at the Department of Justice. And what did Donald Trump do to grease the skids to put CNN in the hands of a buddy of his, to make it mega friendly? He fired the head of the anti-trust division Abigail Slater. A Michael Popok, let's talk about secret meetings. Let's talk about the firing of the one person who would have been the safety valve against this transaction. And now the new reporting today that, oh, low and behold, Warner Bros. is back in discussions with Donald Trump's favorite acquirer, the Ellison family, and is starting to turn its back against Netflix that put in the better offer. A Michael Popok, you're on legal AF and might as touch network. Let's get down to this new story on this holiday Monday. All right. From the perspective of media properties that are in play, CNN had always been considered at one point a crown jewel of the media empire. And Donald Trump has wanted to get CNN over to the right, right wing to join Fox, CBS, 60 minutes, the Washington Post, ABC, and everybody else that he's abused. He's used a combination of working behind the scenes, putting his big fat thumb on the scale, manipulating the regulators that he controls. And then finding ways to have these transactions happen. We see Donald Trump the deal maker, right? He's already has American taxpayer dollars invested in half a dozen companies. Yes, you and I own a stake in half a dozen companies in the raw rare earth minerals business in steel, in semiconductors, computer chips, etc. Now Donald Trump also is trying to get media to be pro Trump. He's abused the Washington Post. I mean, willingly, basso's owns it. And basso's is busy giving a melodia, $40 million for a documentary. Nobody wants to watch and then fires half of his newsroom almost in the same week. Now let's turn to Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers Discovery owns a lot of a lot of space on your cable box or however you get your content, including CNN. Now Netflix came forward first to try to acquire and put together a superior bid at about $30 a share saying they would take the Hollywood studio, the movie studio of Warner Brothers and the streaming service, but they wouldn't take CNN and allow Warner Brothers to sell CNN separately. That was for $30 a share. And came forward paramount run by the Ellison family, friends of Donald Trump, to acquire the entirety of Warner Brothers Discovery, including CNN. That's the one that Donald Trump wants. In fact, when he was asked Trump during, I think, a Lincoln during a Kennedy Center event, I refuse to call it the other name. He was asked about the acquisition. And while he brazed Netflix, it's being a really great company. He starts talking about market share, which is a monopoly antitrust concept that a company can't acquire too many other of its competitors or it would be bad, not for Donald Trump, but usually bad for consumers. That's something that's regulated by the antitrust department of the Department of Justice, which at that moment when Donald Trump said this next thing was headed by Abigail Slater for the last 10 or 11 months, play the clip of Donald Trump. Should they be allowed to buy Warner Brothers? Well, that's a question. They have a very big market share. And when they have Warner Brothers, you know, that share goes up a lot. So I don't know. That's going to be for some economists to tell. And also, and I'll be involved in that decision too. Did they make -- They have a very big market share. Did he make any guarantees to you about the merger if they do merge now? No, no. He came up to using the Oval Office last week. I have a lot of respect for him. He's a great person. He's done one of the greatest jobs in the history of movies and other things. And he's got a lot of interesting things happening beside from what you're talking about. But it is a big market share. There's no question about it. That led to a firestorm of protests. So Donald Trump decided to do it another way, right? He's been guiding as an advisor, David Ellison, who's been meeting regularly in the last week with Donald Trump himself. Then he announced Trump that he's going to get out of the business of being involved with the Warner Brothers deals. Anybody believe this? Play the clip. You are close with the Ellisons who are trying to stop a merger between Warner Brothers, Discovery, and Netflix. This deal could change the makeup of the media as we know it. Are you personally getting involved in that deal? I haven't been involved. I must say, I guess I'm considered to be a very strong president. I've been called by both sides. It's the two sides. But I've decided I shouldn't be involved in the Justice Department, Ohio. Okay. In what way? Just looking at it to see if it's right. Well, then you make a decision. I mean, there's a theory that one of the companies is too big and it shouldn't be allowed to do it. And the other company is saying something else about, you know, they're not going to do it. But you're not going to interfere, even though you're supposed to be the Ellison. They're going to be together and they'll be a winner. We're a year into the new administration and it's getting harder to read the news and see continued attacks on our first amendment freedoms, daily. Now is the time to look for the helpers, those who are strategically fighting day in and out to preserve our constitutional freedoms. One of the organizations fighting the good fight is Americans united for separation of church and state. Their mission is to protect everyone's right to live as they are and believe as they choose. So long as they don't harm others. AU is fighting back against the wave of Christian nationalist threats happening across the country. They filed 11 lawsuits last year alone, multiple against the Trump administration to protect your individual freedom of and from religion, whether you support public education or passionate about LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights or some combination of all. AU relies on the help of its supporters to do this important work. If you're looking for an organization to support and learn from, head to a you dot org slash legal AF to see how you can get involved in their work and support the fight against Christian nationalism. That's AU dot org slash legal AF when America's divided. We are Americans united learn more at AU dot org slash legal AF. And what happened just, I don't know, 48 hours later or so. He fired the only person in the Department of Justice with the balls to stop the transaction Abigail Slater. Deal making is back, right? This White House is completely open for business. And what the Trump administration did under under a subterranean, if you will, under the surface is have Donald Trump control this deal, get the regulator out of the way, advise Ellison. And now suddenly we got the new reporting today. The Warner Brothers is back in talks with Paramount. Now Paramount has only increased its offer about $1.75 a share. That's it saying, oh, we'll pay the $3 billion break up fee if, if Netflix sues and we'll backstop this dead. And if we don't close by December 31st, we'll pay a monthly charge and all of this other stuff, barely raising. It's been, I mean, even the shareholders of Warner Brothers don't like the Paramount deal because only 2% voted for it when they try to go directly to the shareholders. But Donald Trump doesn't care about that. He wants to get CNN in the hands of the Ellison family. Jeg har just seen en fantastisk statistisk, at just came out in the last couple of days, which I think explains why Donald Trump is working so hard to control sort of all of corporate media, right? This is the a new survey that just came out in the Hollywood reporter. And listen to these numbers, 54% of US adults get at least some of their information from YouTube, newscasters, 25% of them on a regular basis, and 57% of YouTube's news audience is women. And if you're sitting around on one of these slickly produced shows on CNN or MSNBC or Fox, those days are waning. So Donald Trump wants to grab as much of corporate media that he can control because he can't control us. YouTube, he can't control the independent commentary and journalism that is the might as touch brand and is the legal I have brand, period, end of story. But I want, I want to rip the cover off this story because the reporting when it's done piecemeal, oh, uh, uh, paramount increased its bid, uh, water brothers back in talks with paramount, uh, Netflix shareholders, uh, give thumbs up to Netflix, uh, not acquiring, uh, Warner brothers, uh, Donald Trump meets with Larry, Larry Ellison's son in the White House, uh, Donald Trump fires antitrust head Abigail Slater. You sort of get lost of what all of this really means. That's why I wanted to meaningfully connect the dots and explain to you where we are. This is Donald Trump barely behind the scenes, manipulating the process to get CNN in the hands of his friends, period. And we'll continue to watch it.

Podcast Summary

Key Points:

  1. Donald Trump har haft hemmelige møder med David Ellison (søn af Oracle-grundlæggeren) for at rådgive om opkøbet af CNN og Warner Bros. Discovery, selvom han offentligt har sagt, han holder sig udenfor.
  2. Trump har afskediget chefen for antitrust-afdelingen i Justitsministeriet, Abigail Slater, som kunne have blokeret transaktionen, hvilket fjerner en vigtig regulatorisk barriere.
  3. Warner Bros. Discovery er nu tilbage i forhandlinger med Paramount (kontrolleret af Ellison-familien) på trods af et lavere bud end Netflix, hvilket tyder på politisk og personligt motiveret indblanding for at få CNN under venligt, højreorienteret ejerskab.
  4. Trumps mål synes at være at konsolidere kontrollen med corporate medier for at påvirke den offentlige mening, især da traditionel tv-nys er på tilbagegang til fordel for platforme som YouTube, som han ikke kan kontrollere.
