Well, what we've seen historically is these mergers actually...

come with massive layoffs.

This particular merger will take on, I think they're starting with $111 billion, 58 to 78 of that will be debt, which means layoffs, which means for affordability, households who want Paramount or Max or HBO, their subscriptions prices will go up because there's a lack of

competition in the market.

And what we'll see is, we were just talking about it, is the censorship of shows or a loss of diversity of shows.

Even with the best intentions, when you take two of the biggest studios and you combine them into one, you're gonna lose an enormous amount of diversity in the programming.

And we're looking at tens of thousands of jobs being lost in Hollywood right now, which is really struggling after the pandemic and after the strikes.

This couldn't really come at a worse time.

And if it was any other administration, other than the Trump administration, this wouldn't be happening.

It'd be stopped.

This is a monopoly.

It forms a monopsony, which makes workers unable to actually have competitive wages.

It's disastrous.

That's great.

And we win.

I mean, we win.

There's another great Yiddish saying,

That's what we're saying to these.

That's what we're saying to Trump.

We have to fight.
