This weekend several parties are gearing up to bid on Warner Brothers Discovery in a heated auction. This comes a full quarter century since I advised Aol in their $183 billion merger with Time Warner in the largest deal in history in 2000, a deal way ahead of its time and massively financially lopsided (in my client’s favor). Who will win the bidding for Warner Bros. – Comcast, Netflix, Skydance Paramount or a dark horse candidate? My bet is on Paramount because Comcast’s Brian Roberts is economically rational and Netflix doesn’t need it. Plus, Skydance’s David Ellison has both his dad’s cash and connections (Saudi money?) and the right political connections (Trump) to get the deal greenlit. Whoever wins the auction, one thing’s certain: the real winner is David Zaslav who bet big on a high-risk leveraged play when he convinced AT&T to merge Warner Bros. with Discovery in deal at one point had $48 billion of debt – a deal that panned out after all at a time when legacy media is in decline. Very Disco!

Paramount launching a hostile bid for Warner Bros is NOT good news. We must fight this with everything we’ve got; call your reps, protest, push for the Netflix deal. Paramount is run by the Ellison family, who proudly fund the IÐF carrying out the Gєn0c!de in Gaza. If they win, expect hoaxes + propaganda instead of the shows we actually enjoy.

🇺🇸 JARED KUSHNER’S FIRM PULLS OUT OF WARNER BROS TAKEOVER BATTLE Kushner’s private equity firm, Affinity Partners, has exited the high-stakes effort backing Paramount Skydance’s hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros, signaling a major shift in one of the biggest media fights in years. The firm confirmed it is no longer pursuing the deal, citing rapidly changing dynamics around the bid. Affinity had been part of a deep-pocketed financial group supporting Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison’s unsolicited offer, valued at more than $108 billion, for the entire Warner Bros empire. The withdrawal comes days after Warner Bros. and Netflix announced a separate agreement that would carve out key assets, including HBO, HBO Max, and the Warner Bros film studio, effectively undercutting Paramount’s full-company play. With multiple bidders circling and boardroom resistance growing, the ground shifted fast. Affinity said it still believes there is strategic logic behind Paramount’s bid, but competition and deal structure no longer justified staying in the fight. The fund had been aligned with major international investors, including Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and other Gulf-based backers. Warner Bros. is now widely expected to reject Paramount’s offer, while regulators loom over any potential merger. The media consolidation war isn’t slowing down. It’s just getting sharper.

🚨🇺🇸 NETFLIX’S $72 BILLION TAKEOVER OF WARNER BROS SHAKES HOLLYWOOD TO ITS CORE Netflix just rewrote Hollywood’s future. The streamer announced a $72 billion cash-and-stock deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s film and TV studios, HBO, HBO Max, and gaming business... its largest acquisition ever and one of the biggest in media history. The offer values Warner Bros. at $27.75 per share ($23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix stock), totaling $82.7 billion when factoring in debt. It beats rival bids from Paramount Skydance and Comcast and comes with a hefty $5.8 billion breakup fee if regulators block it. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said it’s all about growth and storytelling: “We can’t stand still. We need to keep innovating and investing in stories that matter most to audiences, and that’s what this deal is all about. The combination of Netflix and Warner Brothers creates a better Netflix for the long term. It sets us up for success for decades to come. Warner Brothers has some of the best entertainment in the world, period.” The merger would unite franchises like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and DC under one streaming roof, while preserving theatrical releases with shorter windows.

This could be one of the biggest wins in recent history. The New York Post says disgraced Susan Rice "cost Netflix on home stretch of Warner Bros. Discovery deal." Netflix lost a deal that would have given the Obama's unchecked control over what our children watch. Trump donor and Paramount owner Larry Ellison swept in and took over Warner Bros. Never forget: Susan Rice demanded all Trump supporters be thrown in "reeducation camps." Psycho.

🇺🇸 LARRY ELLISON’S SON GOES ALL-IN: $30-A-SHARE HOSTILE BID FOR WARNER BROS. DISCOVERY David Ellison just detonated Hollywood’s biggest power play of the decade. Skydance and Paramount CEO went live on CNBC to announce a $30-per-share all-cash hostile tender offer for Warner Bros. Discovery — a $41 billion equity deal valued at $54 billion enterprise-wide. He told CNBC’s Squawk Box: “We’re really here to finish what we started… Our offer is $30 a share, all cash, backed by the Ellison family, Redbird Capital, Citibank, Bank of America, and Apollo. Cash is still king.” Ellison’s move comes just three days after Netflix’s $82.7 billion cash-and-stock bid for WBD’s studios, HBO, and streaming platforms. His pitch: simplicity and certainty. He’s offering $17.6 billion more in cash than Netflix, faster regulatory clearance, and what he calls a “pro-consumer, pro-creative, pro-competition” deal. The Netflix offer, partly stock-based and excluding WBD’s global networks like CNN and HBO International, raised antitrust red flags by creating a 400-million-subscriber superstreamer. Ellison argued that combining Skydance, Paramount, and WBD would instead balance the market,“strong but not monopolistic.” Hollywood talent is reportedly cheering Ellison’s move, calling it a stand for theaters and creativity after Netflix chief Ted Sarandos’ comment that “theatrical releases aren’t essential.” Bottom line: Ellison’s “cash is king” strategy is a masterclass in corporate brinkmanship. If successful, it could mark the rebirth of studio-driven Hollywood... one where storytellers, not algorithms, take the lead. Sources: CNBC, Reuters; Bloomberg, Variety, Hollywood Reporter

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.

Netflix just KILLED Hollywood... By pulling off the most INSANE power move of 2025. $82.7 billion for Warner Bros, HBO, and HBO Max. The streaming wars are officially over. But nobody understands what actually just happened... For YEARS, Ted Sarandos said: "We're builders, not buyers. We don't need a library." Then three weeks ago he pulled a complete 180. And the bidding war was brutal. Paramount thought they had it locked. David Ellison's dad is Larry Ellison, Oracle founder, one of the richest men alive. Paramount made THREE bids in September. All rejected. Too low. But Ellison kept pushing. He wanted the ENTIRE company including CNN, Discovery Channel, all the cable networks nobody else wanted. His pitch was simple: "We have White House relationships. Regulatory approval will be easy." For weeks, everyone thought Paramount would win. Then Netflix entered the chat... $27.75 per share. Mix of cash and stock. $82.7 billion total. Paramount countered with $30 per share, all cash, backed by three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds. Higher bid. More cash. Should've won. But Netflix included something nobody saw coming: A $5.8 BILLION breakup fee. If Netflix walks away from this deal, they pay Warner Bros $5.8B. Nobody puts up breakup fees that big. Ever. It's Netflix saying "we're so confident we can fight regulators and win, we'll bet $5.8B on it." Paramount lost their minds. Thursday morning, Paramount's lawyers sent a 4,000-word letter to Warner Bros CEO David Zaslav. The letter accused Warner Bros of rigging the process. Said Zaslav had "personal interests in post-transaction roles." Translation: Zaslav wants a job at Netflix after the deal closes, so he's giving them preferential treatment. They're literally calling it corruption. But Netflix just sat on that $5.8B breakup fee and waited. In the end, Warner Bros picked Netflix. And here's the thing... This isn't about streaming. It's about OWNING the IP before AI makes production costs zero. Warner Bros owns: - Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman (entire DC Universe) - Harry Potter (full franchise rights) - Game of Thrones, The Sopranos, The Wire - Friends, The Big Bang Theory When AI video generation hits in 2-3 years, Netflix bets on "whoever owns the IP wins." They hope to generate infinite Batman movies and Harry Potter spinoffs using AI at near-zero marginal cost. The genius move though: Paramount wanted ALL of Warner Bros Discovery. Including dying cable networks (CNN, TNT, TBS). Netflix said: "We only want the studio and streaming." They're letting Warner Bros spin off the garbage cable channels. Then buying ONLY the profitable parts. Buy the assets. Leave the liabilities. This deal "kills three birds with one stone" according to Bank of America: Bird #1: Warner Bros Discovery ceases to exist as a competitor Bird #2: HBO Max (#3 streaming platform) merges with Netflix (#1) Bird #3: Every other studio is now officially screwed Netflix now has: - World's largest subscriber base (260M+) - Second-largest content library - The IP for infinite AI content - HBO's prestige brand - Warner Bros' theatrical distribution Game over. Anonymous Hollywood producers literally sent letters to Congress BEGGING them to block the deal. They didn't even sign their names. Too scared of Netflix retaliation. Senator Warren called it an "anti-monopoly nightmare." But none of it will matter. Deal's getting approved. What happens next? 2026: Discovery Global spins off (cable networks) 2026: Netflix acquisition closes 2027: HBO integration begins 2028: AI video generation launches 2029: AI-generated Batman and Harry Potter content By 2030, Netflix IS Hollywood. My take? Thid is smart SHORT TERM. Destroys competition. Locks in IP. But LONG TERM? When AI video hits, content libraries won't matter. Speed of generation will. Netflix just spent $82.7B on the past instead of the future. The next 3 years will tell us which one it is.

Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly signed an agreement Friday on a $110 billion deal, a merger that will make Paramount one of the largest media empires in the world. It happened after a dramatic turn of events and after Netflix walked away from its proposal to buy out Warner Bros. Paramount could now control two key movie studios, multiple streaming platforms, major intellectual property brands, along with television and cable channels, and two of the biggest news operations on television, CBS and CNN. But this isn't a done deal yet, as it is now under investigation and awaiting regulatory approval. Geoff Bennett sat down with Roben Farzad, host of public radio's "Full Disclosure," for more.

Jack Posobiec points how that seemed to coincide with the Obama’s striking a deal with them AND SUSAN RICE JOINING THE BOARD. He also notes that their bid for 88 Billion for Warner Bros. selected aspects of their catalogue may have issues with Anti-Trust and NOW Paramount has come in with a higher offer over the top that will take the entire catalogue of and bypass the board.
