"And you have Mark Zuckerberg who is a conservative mega-billionaire. And Meta is, you know, with Facebook and Instagram, one of the most important information platforms. And Elon Musk owns Twitter. And all of the kind of biggest information channels are now controlled by conservative billionaires."

"But now you have this takeover by a bunch of conservative billionaires of all of the key major institutions. So David Ellison, who is a big friend of Trump's and his father, Larry Ellison, they're going to control TikTok and CNN and all kinds of other media properties. And you have Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post and has turned it much more conservative than it used to be."
