The $100bn media battle that could change everything

Mar 21, 2026
Netflix and Paramount are locked in an epic fight to take over Warner Bros. Discovery. The price tag could well reach north of $100bn. And at stake - a huge back catalogue of blockbuster film and TV, a streaming giant, a Hollywood studio, even CNN. Enter Donald Trump, who's expressed concern about the potential for a monopoly, and also reportedly wants a say on any potential restructuring of the news network under new ownership. The outcome could result in the mother of all media monoliths. Could it really be determined by Donald Trump's ire at one recent Marjorie Taylor Greene interview? Later, Lewis speaks to Noah Oppenheim, the writer of 'A House of Dynamite', a film that deals with a nuclear strike on America. The Pentagon doesn't like his depiction - why? #trump #netflix #warnerbros #media #usa #uspolitics #cnn #tv #socialmedia #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents website: https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
