So they've gone to court first, seeking an order from a judge to say, hey, this process has got to stop.
It's unprecedented.
It's clearly uh designed to punish ABC for its broadcasting choices, which are protected under the First Amendment, rather than wait for the FCC to make the case about why Disney is not in compliance with its public interest obligations.
I think it's gonna tee up one of the big
big battles of the administration on what are the rights of the FCC to enforce this public interest standard for using the public airwaves and what are the rights of broadcasters to air content freely under the First Amendment.
It's clear that this is a big priority of President Trump.
You know, he is constantly railing against what he views as unfair media coverage.

He didn't directly answer, but he did talk about threats against his life.
And so clearly threats against him is something that's top of mind.
The White House is not saying, neither is the Air Force, but it certainly raises questions about was the Secret Service or the Air Force or the White House, was there some set of security concerns triggered by this most recent renewal of hostilities between Iran and the United States?
