This video from Have I Got News For You US covers several major news stories with a comedic panel discussion.
Here's a breakdown of the main topics:
Trump's Tariffs Struck Down (1:31-9:00): The Supreme Court struck down Trump's tariffs, upsetting his economic agenda. Trump reacted with anger, calling the decision a "disgrace" and attacking the courts. He claimed the decision limits his power to charge even a dollar and announced plans for more tariffs. The panel discusses his perceived betrayal and questions whether companies like Costco will recoup money lost from these tariffs.
Stephen Colbert's FCC Drama (9:23-13:46): Stephen Colbert faced network censorship regarding an interview with Texas State Representative James Talarico. CBS lawyers allegedly told Colbert he couldn't have Talarico on or even mention not having him on. The panel discusses the "equal time" rule, its unusual application to late-night shows, and how the unaired interview garnered over 40 million views on social media, significantly boosting Talarico's campaign.
Netflix, Paramount, and Warner Brothers Acquisition (13:48-17:35): This segment connects the CBS drama to a larger business story: the bidding war between Netflix and Paramount (CBS's parent company) over the acquisition of Warner Brothers. Republicans expressed concern that Netflix is "too woke." The discussion also touches on Paramount SkyDance CEO David Ellison, a Trump ally, and his past failed movie project, Fly Boys, which was bankrolled by his father, Oracle founder Larry Ellison. The panel speculates on the implications if Paramount acquires Warner, suggesting it could give Trump more direct influence over CNN.
