And then that's when Netflix comes in and sucks up all the pretty parts would be my guess.

I actually think it probably closes though because I talked to an economist this weekend and he said it doesn't really fit the whole way for a monopoly in terms of streaming.

If you factor in linear content from their flagship channel, CBS, HBO, and HGTV, the hypothetical combined platform gets roughly 20% of total US hour streamed, and Netflix is at 60.

In terms of total TV viewing time, the combined Warner Brothers, Paramount,

streaming and TV all in would represent about 12.2% of total US viewing TV watch time.

And that's less than YouTube currently has at about 13%.

In terms of box office sales, Paramount and Warner Brothers represent roughly 25% of the domestic box office.

And they're just so well connected with Trump, they'll end up selling off like SpongeBob SquarePants so some regulator can feel like they've got a win or something or divesting of some stupid children's program.

But I think this goes through.

Koushi has it at 75%.

I think it's actually higher than that.

Yeah, I've just noticed a lot of Hollywood people, and the smart ones, I'm not talking about the dumb ones, have been like, hmm, this feels bad.

Something feels bad.

But I think it's largely all the noise around CBS and the disaster they're perpetrating there.

But I think it's more, I just think the pain is going to come once the deal is done.

That is where it's going to happen.

And you're going to see, like, how are they going to get out of this box?

And none of them are Houdini in that gang.

So that's the problem.

We'll see.
