The narrator transitions to Wendy's perspective.
I've got you, Nathan. Aw. You said Continue to follow off with what Wendy has to say. I'll end this last segment with what she's got to say. Okay, buddy? Okay, bud.
[133:19-134:04]
Steve Ross and Warner Brothers are described as being heavily involved with figures from organized crime.
And this is typified by MCA- My bud. but also Warner Brothers- is very involved. So as I noted in the piece, you know, the longtime head of Warner Brothers, Steve Ross, built up his company that later acquired Warner Brothers when it was struggling with, you know, Abner Zwillman and some other figures of, you know, New York organized crime. And, you know, around the time, you know- You know. all of this was going on, he was on Robert Maxwell's yacht, and he was yucking it up with a lot of other organized crime intelligence linked figures of which Maxwell was one. But of course- Gilbert Maxwell's MCA is probably the most notorious in this regard as well.

Lew Wasserman's close connections to mobsters and the DOJ's investigation into MCA are highlighted.
Lew Wasserman, for example, their most famous and storied executive, very intimately connected to mobsters like Moe Dalitz and Sam Cohen. The Department of Justice was investigating MCA for its organized crime ties.
[134:22-134:37]
The Reagan administration allegedly quashed a DOJ investigation into MCA's ties to organized crime due to MCA's importance to Reagan's political ascent.
Yeah. But because MCA was so essential to the political rise of Ronald Reagan, the Reagan administration quashed the DOJ investigation into MCA's ties to organized crime, which are very extensive.
