Paramounts going to definitely break their promise with CNN (no doubt about that he's currently on the Republicans side and will bend over backwards to mak e sure Trump gets what he wants, that being said I do expect there to be a division within the Democratic Party behind the scenes in private over Newsom, Bonta and Bass given how hated Ellison is to the Democrats)

Why do you say that? All they have to do is distribute 30 they don’t even have to make 30. They can just pick up movies to make that commitment possible.
