Right.
So this wholly controlled federal government of one Donald Trump, again, not surprisingly, blessed this merger.
But a group of state attorneys general, which included California Attorney General Rob Bonta, former guest at our San Francisco live show, filed a lawsuit raising their own antitrust concerns.
They argued that allowing the deal to go forward would, quote, extinguish competition.
in big parts of Hollywood and it would harm consumers, particularly moviegoers and cable customers really across the United States.
So they pointed out that this proposed deal would combine two of the five legacy Hollywood studios,
Two of the five providers of basic cable, two of the five major film distributors, really reducing competition in all of those areas.
They also noted that Paramount and Warner Brothers, right, the would-be mergers, have long been competitors.
And that kind of competition has actually been good for the industry and for consumers.
So they say in their complaint basically, like, this is why the stakes are so high.
And I want to quote from it here.
Quote, Close quote.
Like we said, like genuine democracy implications.
Indeed.
So next piece of news we wanted to mention is the arrest last week of the brothers Tate, that is Andrew and Tristan.
If you are fortunate enough not to know anything about these guys, these are manosphere figures who glorify and encourage, including broadcasting these views to millions, tens of millions of boys and men, a violently toxic brand of masculinity and misogyny.
So that's them.
And these brothers found themselves arrested in Florida on charges of rape and sex trafficking in the U.K.
And just a quick digression, so I said maybe you haven't heard about the Tates.
I actually had heard about them a little bit, but the first time I really encountered them was a few years ago when I was unfortunate enough to spend some time reading about them in conjunction with a book review that Leah and Melissa and I wrote of Josh Hawley's Manhood.
