The Arrington Gavin Show Ep. 689 "HE BET ON HIMSELF—LITERALLY! MARK MORAN EXPLAINS THE KALSHI CONTROVERSY"

So first things first, the merger that everybody's talking about, the whole Paramount and Warner Brothers merger has finally been finalized.

One hundred and ten billion dollar acquisition.

of Warner Brothers Discovery.

This means now the company now owns CBS, CNN, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Warner Brothers, and Paramount Pictures all under the CEO, David Ellison.

So we'll see what goes on from there.

A lot of folks are not happy about it.

There's a lot of folks that are quite happy.

So we'll eventually talk about that in some shows later on but i just wanted to kind of keep you posted on that also i was listening to a gentleman his name is joe walsh joe walsh is a former uh congressman out of illinois former republican congressman who eventually left the party was independent for a short period now he joined the democrat party uh walsh has been in different outlets he's hosted programs he's very much uh again like i said he's on the democratic side now so he's speaking about what the Democrats needs to do during this midterm season and all this other stuff.

And some, his advice that he shared to them.

And it is funny because it doesn't take rocket science to, you know, make this up really.

I've said it time and time again, his advice had said, look, fire consultants before you answer a question.

Authenticity isn't a messaging strategy.

Either it's real or the audience can tell.

I'm like, hello, have we been saying that? like this whole entire time, show your true self.

Don't put on a character because guess what? Folks will see that.

Folks will see that.

So all I'm saying is for if you're running for office currently right now, whether it's on a local, state, or federal level, regardless of the political aisle, please be authentic and don't be fake because it shows.

It really does.

I've come across a lot of events recently on both sides, and you can tell a true, authentic community leader From somebody that's just trying to, I don't know, sell you a used car.

Like literally, it's just it's it's too much.

It's too much.

So that came across.

Very last thing I want to throw into is your boy out in Washington is continue to hurt his party's chances during this midterms because he was out in Nebraska during a rally.

And I quote here.

Let me share you with the message that he shared.
