Like it's wrong.

Like Trump is more in league with the corporate billionaires than anybody.

Right.

And the flip side of Hakeem Jeffries had gone to the white house and taken that same picture and

everybody would be up in arms like what are you doing you're the minority leader in congress you're gonna you're gonna normalize trump and and buddy up with him and smile with him in exchange for ten thousand houses and one person being released yeah and you know people would be enraged at hakeem for doing the exact same thing that zoran did and so that's not really zoran's fault like he's in a different role like he's the mayor of new york he's not the leader of the party in dc that's my like one thing that i worry about is that when you play the trump game

you start to be a little bit complicit, back to your word, in the narrative that he's putting forth.

These guys are outsiders, and the real issue is the corrupt establishment people like Chuck Schumer.

In this case, Zoran played him.

Right.

And so I just think those things are both true.

Like Zoran fundamentally played him and he's got a job as mayor of New York.

And also, it feels a little ick.

And I just think that's kind of where I land.

Speaking of Trump being the one that's in league with the corrupt oligarchs, some big media news yesterday after we took the pod, which was that Netflix dropped out of their bid with Warner Brothers Discovery because they were outbid by Paramount and Ellison's.

Ellison's

Both offered more money, but also basically made the case for Warner Brothers Discovery, which owns CNN, is most notable for this conversation, made the case that they could get regulatory approval and Netflix might not.

And like earlier in this week, we talked about how the administration was going after Netflix because Susan Rice is on the board and said something.

So like this is this is just a straight corrupt deal, like straight down the line.

And.

The end game of it is going to be that the same people that are running CBS also are running CNN.
