Booker: On the same day that paramount shareholders voted to approve the merger, David Ellison, the head of the acquiring company, hosted a dinner that you attended. While you were at that dinner, the DOJ was still investigating a merger. Do you believe that that creates an appearance of impropriety that you were at a dinner? Blanche: No.

Paramount is engaged in a battle with Netflix to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount’s most recent bid was rejected in part over financing. On Monday, Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount CEO David Ellison, personally guaranteed $40 billion in an effort to revive that bid. But Netflix’s proposed $83 billion offer is still considered the favorite for now. Talk of this deal has triggered widespread fears in Hollywood about what it could mean for the creative industry. Our senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown gets some perspective from one of the leading unions.

Phang: Because Todd Blanche, we know, is the loser of losers. Todd Blanche is the guy responsible for Donald Trump getting 34 felonies for which he was convicted. So when I call Donald Trump convicted felon Donald Trump, that’s really an homage to Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche clearly dropped the ball when he met with Ghislaine Maxwell. But that was all part of the grand plan, right? Because Todd Blanche showed that he was incapable of honoring his oath as a lawyer. Somebody who had also worked as a federal prosecutor—and should have known better, and did know better—chose to take the path that served one man: Donald Trump.

Dan Bongino gives his full endorsement to Todd Blanche for Attorney General, saying he would be a great replacement and admitting that Blanche has been running the Department of Justice all along. Bongino adds that he and Blanche have worked together on public corruption cases within the government. Like Dan Bongino, Blanche is not interested in the Epstein case and has labeled Pizzagate a hoax.

The left wing elite are in full panic mode now that Paramount is buying Warner Bros Discover, and with that merger Trump ally Larry Ellison (and his son David) will control the combined media giant. Under the new ownership of Paramount, CBS News and CNN won't be fully controlled by the radical left. The far left wing "reporters" are CNN are in a full blown panic that they will no longer be able to promote their far left agenda. The Democrats were counting on their Obama allies at Netflix to purchase Warner Bros (and CNN). However the Ellison family outbid Netflix with $110 billion. Radical left wing senators like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to claim "national security concerns" to block the merger. In reality, they are terrified at the thought of the left losing their control on the media narrative.

Finesse2tymes insists there's no lawsuit against him for allegedly having an imposter perform for him at a concert. On Tuesday (June 2), reports started circulating that the Memphis rapper was ordered to pay an Alabama promoter a $193,000 default judgment in connection with Finesse allegedly sending his brother to perform for him during a 2023 show in Alabama. Finesse has responded to the claims, saying he has no knowledge of the lawsuit and insists it's fake news. In March of 2023, Finesse was accused of sending someone else to perform in his place at a show in Huntsville. He denied claims that he tried to trick fans in a statement. He insisted the person performing was his opening act, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he was not able to take the stage.

NEW: Netflix Board Member Susan Rice Susan Rice is calling for investigations into CBS-owned Paramount, the company competing with Netflix for the Warner Bros. merger: “But some of the stuff that seems to be going on at CBS is dubious at best, and so I do think that there ought to be inquiries, but no replication of what Trump has done, which is essentially wielded the authority of the FCC and crony capitalism to benefit his ideological allies in the media and disadvantage the American people." Clearly, Rice and Team Obama still love embracing lawfare and weaponized government against their political and business opponents.
