2:18:39Now PlayingParamount’s blockbuster hostile acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t just a Hollywood deal — it’s a seismic shift in who holds influence over some of the most powerful media brands in the world, including CNN and CBS. With existing online platforms like Meta, TikTok and X already widely seen as operating in ways that benefit or align with Trump-world allies, this latest consolidation raises urgent questions about the concentration of narrative power in American politics.
Calling for election integrity, the Department of Justice is suing another five states for access to their voter rolls. With the addition of New Jersey, Utah, Oklahoma, Kentucky and West Virginia, there are now more than two dozen states where the Trump administration wants detailed information about voters.
From control of the media to federal involvement in state elections, we will examine the impact.
The show is packed full of politics and wonderful guests today. “This Week in Politics” brings Michael Shure and Mo Kelly to the show. Pulitzer Prize winning author Dr. Heather Ann Thompson will stop by to share details of her new book “Fear and Fury: The Reagan 80s, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage.”
We look to the skies with Astronomy Professor Andrew Fraknoi. Then turn toward the stars of Hollywood with The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder. Throw in Friday Fabulous Florida and it’s a show!
