Yeah, I think we need to zoom out for a second, understand what exactly is happening at an industry level.

And obviously, Don, you're expert in this stuff and have lived it.

But as these media conglomerates get bigger and bigger, they care less about their viewers and more about their stock price and their C-suite executives.

And what's happening right now is Warner Brothers gave a little new window for Paramount to make a bid here.

So Paramount's doing two things.

It's upping its bid to the Warner Brothers board, and it's upping its bid to Donald Trump by, again, proving their loyalty by censoring the voices on their platform.

Because we can't just look at what happened with Tallarico two nights ago in isolation.

And you've been talking about this.

You have to put it next to them pulling down the SECOT coverage on December 21st because Bari Weiss wanted to ask a few more questions.

And so what you have right now is Paramount trying to prove its loyalty not to its viewers, but to Trump by proving they can censor with the best of them.

And unfortunately, this is where we're going to be as long as we have these massive media companies that are dominating, dominating at least legacy media, I think.

I do think it absolutely has to do with the fact that James Tallarico, like Jasmine Crockett, is very critical of this president.

I also think that if you look at the three big moments of censorship we've seen, Tallarico, Kimmel, Colbert getting canceled recently, right?

And I'm leaving out the ICE stuff that happened to you, Don, right?

Each of those three instances, right?
