The hosts characterize the film as elite propaganda designed to convince the public that the referendum was manipulated by technology and figures like Steve Bannon. They mock the production as a "Hollywood elite" attempt to delegitimize the vote.

They then dive into the massive merger between AT&T and Time Warner, which was cleared by a federal judge. The hosts predict that the bet on "content and pipe" will eventually bankrupt AT&T, as the Netflix model of high-cost production is unsustainable.

While Giuliani initially suggested the President denied the merger, he later walked back the comments to align with the administration's stance that the Department of Justice acted independently. The media's transition from the McCain story to the Giuliani story is highlighted as a strategic narrative shift.

The goal would be to hold large conglomerates accountable for the news their subsidiaries produce. The hosts support the idea as a way to expose potential collusion and corporate interests in news reporting.

Donald Trump has vowed to block the merger, arguing it creates an oligopoly with too much control over information. Critics also warn that the deal could lead to preferential treatment for Time Warner content on AT&T's network, potentially violating net neutrality principles.

The hosts attribute this "pivot" to financial pressure from investors like Turner and Time Warner. The move is seen as an attempt to emulate the Vice Media model after failing to sustain a broad news and lifestyle scope.

One host details staying at an Austin RV park famously used by Matthew McConaughey, noting a dispute where Time Warner Cable refused to provide cable boxes to the facility.

The hosts examine the image and discuss the potential subliminal effects of such edits. Trump compared his desired look to Cary Grant and criticized the ownership of Time Warner, which owns People and CNN.

This shift mirrors the early days of the internet when AOL dominated user experience through a proprietary "walled garden" model. While ad blocking improves mobile usability, it accelerates the migration of capital toward aggregated systems where advertising cannot be easily bypassed.

They argue that reclassifying the internet under Title II provides the regulatory framework needed to approve such a massive anti-competitive deal. A new presidential memorandum on expanding broadband deployment is also discussed as a dovetailing policy.

He argues that net neutrality regulations will actually lead to increased censorship of "unlawful content," including hate speech and peer-to-peer traffic. Curry warns that the FFTF is "duping" the public into supporting government regulation of the internet.

The hosts argue that this move actually benefits large incumbents like Comcast and Time Warner by creating a regulated utility environment that stifles smaller competitors and municipal broadband projects.

They argue that Comcast prioritizes its own video-on-demand services over Netflix for competitive reasons, and that future regulation will lead to deep packet inspection and content filtering.

The ads claim the merger will protect net neutrality and provide faster internet for children. The hosts deconstruct the logic, arguing that the companies are using "net neutrality" as a buzzword to gain regulatory approval for a monopoly that will actually result in less competition and more control over network traffic.

Dvorak conclude the episode by discussing the logistics of Curry's move and the difficulty of scheduling Time Warner cable installations. They promote the show's search engine and show notes before signing off for the final time from the Travis Heights hideout. The episode ends with a recurring clip about being a "rule follower."

While framed as promoting competition, the hosts argue that mayors often create local monopolies by granting exclusive rights to companies like Comcast. The resolutions also use "net neutrality" language that emphasizes the regulation of "lawful" content, raising concerns about future internet censorship.
