I can't imagine that all these countries are investing for nothing, right?
The entire idea is to buy influence.
That's what they want.
They want influence in American media.
And so they're not handing over billions of dollars just for the hell of it, Don, right?
Like this is pretty clear.
They probably want a few things.
They probably would love, you know, the White Lotus to be shot in Saudi Arabia one season.
They love, you know, Tom Cruise to be shooting Mission Impossible, you know, in Doha or Abu Dhabi or wherever, right?
And I'm sure that they're looking at the portfolio of assets and seeing CNN and they probably love some more favorable coverage.
They'd like to have some influence there.
And so, you know, yeah, I mean, I think that there's probably it's hard to imagine there wouldn't be some sort of understanding that, you know, should the should they be successful in this takeover that this would be beneficial for these Middle Eastern countries?
And maybe it's, you know, it's not even even sometimes the editorial, too.
It's just the maybe there's a CNN bureau in Saudi Arabia all of a sudden.
Right.
Maybe maybe they have the idea.

Right.

So you saw Disney, for instance, launch Disney.
