[TL;DR]:

The 8:02 clip from Sen. Josh Hawley’s official channel is part of a broader February 3, 2026, U.S. Senate Judiciary

Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights hearing titled “Examining the Competitive Impact of the Proposed Netflix-Warner Brothers Transaction.”

The full hearing (available on C-SPAN) featured testimony from Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos and Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Revenue and Strategy Officer Bruce Campbell, focusing on Netflix’s proposed $72–83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery’s assets (including HBO Max, studios, and libraries).

Core Antitrust & Merger Focus:

• Lawmakers (bipartisan) raised concerns about market dominance, potential price hikes for consumers, reduced content variety, job losses in Hollywood, and impacts on theatrical releases.

• Sarandos argued the merger would boost U.S. production (Netflix content spend rising to $20B+ in 2026), create economic growth, and face competition from YouTube, TikTok, Amazon, and Apple (claiming Netflix is only 9–10% of U.S. TV viewing time post-merger)

• He committed under oath to a 45-day theatrical window for major Warner films and increasing domestic/union labor use.

• Democrats (e.g., Sen. Cory Booker, Adam Schiff) pressed on past mergers’ job losses and urged fair DOJ review without political interference (noting Trump’s stated interest and his recent Netflix/WBD bond purchases).

• Republicans (e.g., Chair Mike Lee) highlighted “serious antitrust concerns” over eliminating competition (Netflix acquiring HBO Max).

Hawley’s Specific Line of Questioning (in the Clip):

• Beyond jobs/residuals (where he pushed for “full residuals” but got a non-committal response on Netflix’s prepay model), Hawley pivoted to cultural issues, accusing Netflix of promoting “transgender ideology” in children’s programming.

• He claimed “almost half” of content for minor children (not teens) is “highly sexualized” and controversial/trans-focused, citing parental distrust (as a father of three young kids, he previews everything).

• This echoed a December 2025 report from Concerned Women for America (CWA) analyzing Netflix kids’ shows: 41% of TV-G and TV-Y7 rated series include LGBTQ+ themes/characters (not exclusively trans; includes same-sex couples, etc.), across explicit, implied, or meta forms. Sarandos called the “half” figure inaccurate, denied any political agenda, emphasized diverse content matching viewer tastes, and highlighted parental controls/blocking tools.

Broader Hearing Dynamics:

• The antitrust focus shifted partly to culture-war critiques from some Republicans (e.g., “woke” content, “trans ideology”), with Sarandos repeatedly denying bias and stating Netflix offers programming “left, right, and center” for entertainment, not propaganda.

• Other senators (e.g., Ted Cruz) referenced Netflix’s Obama production deals as evidence of leanings.

• The merger remains pending DOJ/FTC review (with potential state AG challenges); Paramount Skydance’s rival bid was rejected by WBD, but ongoing shareholder pressure exists.

• Media coverage (CNN, Deadline, Variety, Guardian, NBC, etc.) described the hearing as morphing into a “culture war” clash amid standard antitrust scrutiny.

Does Netflix have a ban transgender and LGBTQ+ option? What are your thoughts on the child programming Netflix offers?

[TL;DR]

• Rubio’s Core Claim:

Rubio stated that Western deindustrialization (loss of manufacturing, jobs shipped overseas, weakened supply chains) was not inevitable or driven purely by market forces. Instead, it was a “conscious policy choice” and a “decades-long economic undertaking” that deliberately stripped nations of wealth, productive capacity, and independence. He called it a “foolish but voluntary transformation” that left countries vulnerable. This received significant attention and applause at the conference.

• Connection to 1977 CFR Report:

The video links this directly to a 1977 Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) document from their “1980s Project” (titled something like Alternatives to Monetary Disorder), which advocated for “controlled disintegration of the world economy” as a “legitimate objective” for a new moderate international order. It explicitly targeted opposition to raw-materials export dependency (referencing Alexander Hamilton’s nationalist economic ideas) and aimed to dismantle industrial sovereignty. The presenter claims she helped expose this report decades ago and sees Rubio’s words as a direct challenge to this longstanding “British imperial” influence via institutions like the CFR.

• European Context & Panic:

Highlights European leaders’ reactions at Munich, including ECB President Christine Lagarde warning of “geo-economic fragmentation,” financial fragility, and the end of U.S. backstopping for European markets. Belgium’s PM described dramatic chemical industry losses (nearly 10% capacity) tied to decarbonization policies, calling it an “existential crisis” where green policies equal deindustrialization, poverty, and irrelevance.

• Trump Administration’s Response:

Portrays the current U.S. approach (“Trumpomics”) as a reversal: tariffs, industrial policy, massive investments ($17T claimed inflows), support for critical sectors, focus on physical economy/household incomes over finance. Examples include:

• Trade Ambassador Greer’s defense of the “Hamiltonian economic system.”

• Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent:
“Economic security is national security.”

• Energy Sec. Chris Wright announcing a next-gen nuclear reactor deployment to Utah (aiming for operational by July 4, 2026).

• Peter Navarro criticizing JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon over high credit card rates (20-30%), pushing for cuts to 10% or less.

• Overall Narrative Frames this as a historic confrontation - the post-1977 “controlled disintegration” (imperial/globalist model) vs. revival of the American System (sovereign industrial development). Europe clings to the old model but shows cracks; the U.S. under Trump is actively re-industrializing and inviting allies to join. Calls for support to counter midterm election threats.

[WhoWhatWhenWhereWhy @5doubleyooz]

1. National security and classified information: This is by far the most frequent and widely cited reason. Hearings often involve discussion of classified intelligence, threats, military operations, foreign intelligence programs or other details that could harm U.S. interests if made public. Senate and House rules explicitly allow closing hearings for this purpose, and official sources like the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence frequently cite it. https://t.co/s88V313bD9 notes that committees meet behind closed doors “in rare cases, usually to discuss national security issues.”
2. Protection of sensitive or confidential matters: This includes delicate communications from the President, ongoing investigations where premature disclosure could compromise sources/methods, or information that requires secrecy under law or rule.
3. Impeachment proceedings or high-stakes deliberations: The Senate has historically used closed sessions for parts of impeachment trials or related discussions to maintain order and focus.
4. Effective fact-finding or investigative phases: In some investigative or oversight contexts, closed sessions allow for candid questioning without grandstanding, media pressure, or political theater that can disrupt proceedings. For example, during certain impeachment inquiries, closed-door depositions have been described as similar to a grand jury process, which are more focused on gathering facts before public hearings.

Former lawmakers have noted that private sessions “always produce better results” by reducing posturing.

Don’t be misled by this BS. There is a reason they want a public hearing.

PS. It’s not so they can tell the truth!

Why is my entire ‘for you’ feed Trump/Republican hate? I don’t even engage it nor do I follow accounts that predominantly hate the right? What happened to X?

[WhoWhatWhenWhereWhy @5doubleyooz]

@elonmusk Better to raid X offices so that this ‘misinformation’ doesn’t get spread around the globe. Guillotine would be too kind for humans like this. Bring back death by stoning or death by 1000 cuts.

[TL;DR]:

• TrumpRx launch expected in the next 10 days, delivering the lowest drug prices in the developed world, often lower than current benchmarks for every American.

• Most Favored Nation (MFN) agreements secured with 16 of 17 major drug companies, combined with requirements to reshore production to the United States. This includes Eli Lilly building six new plants (including an API facility) and Novo Nordisk adding four, ensuring domestic supply chains for critical drugs and reducing reliance on China during future pandemics.

• Pharma stock prices rose $1.3 trillion following the agreements, demonstrating continued leadership in innovation.

• Rural healthcare receives a major boost: $10 billion distributed last week to states for rural hospitals, with a 30% increase in federal funding over the next five years to rebuild infrastructure, retain providers, and integrate AI and other technologies to lower costs and improve quality.

• New dietary guidelines, praised across party lines, shift focus to real food. The administration mandates healthier options in programs like SNAP, WIC, school lunches, VA, and military meals. Stores accepting food stamps must double offerings of real food, driving down costs for proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables while addressing the ultra-processed food crisis fueling chronic diseases and $5 trillion in annual treatment expenses.

• Crackdown on fraud uncovers hundreds of billions in Medicaid and Medicare improper payments in states like Minnesota and California, with funds being clawed back.

• 80% of the insurance industry has agreed to eliminate prior authorization for most procedures, allowing patients to know coverage at the point of care before leaving the doctor’s office.

• Enforcement of price transparency rules, often ignored under the prior administration, has led to more actions against hospitals in one year than in the previous four combined, ensuring Americans can see hospital prices upfront like restaurant menus.

• Dozens, potentially over 100 studies, commissioned to investigate autism causes.

• Record approvals of gene and cell therapies, plus efforts to build a strong biotech ecosystem to prevent China from dominating the industry.

President Trump noted that major drug companies like Eli Lilly, Merck, and Pfizer are rapidly building U.S. plants to avoid future high tariffs (potentially 100-300%), creating an economic incentive for domestic manufacturing.

This represents a broad push to Make America Healthy Again through affordability, reshoring, fraud reduction, better nutrition, and innovation.

@JayinKyiv Except for the fact that it was proven to be a hoax. Obama was the culprit, got the CIA to create fake documents signed off by like 61 agents why committed perjury. You don’t keep up with the news do you? Just regurgitate what you see and copy paste your posts?

[WhoWhatWhenWhereWhy @5doubleyooz]

It’s ironic because you are posting this on one of the freest speech platforms on the planet. Without this platform we would probably ALL have digital IDs, social scores, government controlled digital currency, no right to private property, we would probably own nothing, be mandated to be vaccinated in order to go outside, be forced to worship satan, and be subjected to open pedophilia. Just to name a few but hey, keep your musk hate going strong, I’m sure he notices.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Iran Talks

Rubio:

US is “prepared to engage” & “has always been prepared to engage with Iran.” Trump is open to meetings with adversaries - views them as diplomacy, not concessions or legitimization.

• Talks (originally planned for Friday in Turkey) still being worked through after Iran reportedly shifted position.

• For meaningful deal, agenda must include: ballistic missiles, sponsorship of terrorism/proxies, nuclear program, and treatment of own people.

• Regime weak: Can’t fix economic woes because funds go to terrorism/proxies instead of people. Huge gap between Iranian regime and its people (Rubio’s long-standing view).

• US envoy Steve Witkoff ready to meet if Iran shows up; prefers peaceful outcome, but skeptical a deal is possible - “we’re going to try to find out.”

Stop using AI to generate all your posts. Also, you’re right, it’s not about music. We have ALL been saying that from the get go. It’s about the satan worship and pushing a transgender narrative to young children who will be watching. He doesn’t NEED to wear a dress and makeup while performing. It’s about the POLITICS. Do you understand that?

[WhoWhatWhenWhereWhy @5doubleyooz]

Fact checking left leaning sources isn’t fact checking. How much do you know about Ukraine and why Russia invaded? How much do you know about the prices of medical care across the globe vs in the US? You tend to regurgitate talking points and back those talking points with the same regurgitated facts.

[WhoWhatWhenWhereWhy @5doubleyooz]

Maybe you can understand that the atrocities that happened to American citizens could have been prevented by not ALLOWING these individuals, who were KNOWN to commit these atrocities, to roam freely AND providing accommodations for them.

You do understand that under and normal circumstance, if you were arrested or detained for aggravated assault of ANY kind, you would not simply be released to commit these crimes again? Where does you sense come from because it’s not the common type.

Also, if you hadn’t noticed or researched, clearly you haven’t and only know what you have been told, crime is at an all-time low in the US with this administration.

• Key Details: Hillary Clinton is scheduled for a transcribed, filmed deposition on February 26, 2026; Bill Clinton on February 27, 2026.

• Background: The Clintons initially defied subpoenas, prompting Chair James Comer to push for contempt. Their attorneys signaled compliance on Monday to meet demands.

• Context Provided: Epstein visited the White House 17 times during Bill Clinton’s first term; flight logs show Bill flew on Epstein’s jet in the early 2000s (pre-2008 conviction), but documents state he never visited Epstein’s island. No accusations of illegal activity or victim claims against either Clinton; both deny knowledge of Epstein’s crimes (Hillary says she never met/spoke to him).

• Broader Notes: Trump also knew Epstein. Comer stresses questions on their “relationship” and “knowledge” are needed (99% of Americans want answers). Some Democrats support testimonies for transparency and anti-trafficking law improvements. Hillary’s adviser Nick Merrill offered public testimony with cameras.

When does the idiocy stop? At what point do these politicians get through their head that their constituents voted for these things. We knew what was on the table and what the opposition was bringing to the table. We then made our choice, but politicians in the US are stopping at nothing to usurp the will of the people. That and all the lies, it’s like being around a bunch of toddlers who know they are wrong but will sell you the story until you look the other way.

@Milajoy Facts and truth are the ONLY thing that matters, along with critical thinking. Unfortunately, critical thinking has been absent for the last 15-20 years and people believe what they are told. NOT what they can verify THEMSELVES.
