(Hot Air)—Has anyone checked in with Scott Pelley this afternoon to see if he needs smelling salts? How about Bill Owens?
Two months ago, both men erupted in anger when Paramount’s board decided to settle an election fraud lawsuit from Donald Trump over the deceptively edited interview of Kamala Harris by 60 Minutes during the general election. Trump had filed a $20 billion lawsuit against Paramount, a big liability for a corporation attempting to close a deal with Skydance. Shari Redstone’s decision to settle infuriated CBS News figures at the time.
However, even that didn’t go easy. Paramount offered Trump $15 million for his presidential library, but with no admission of error. Trump insisted he wanted the public apology and at least $25 million. Today, a mediator offered to split the baby:
A mediator has proposed that President Trump and Paramount Global settle his lawsuit over a CBS News “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris for $20 million, according to people familiar with the matter.
The proposal would include a $17 million donation to Trump’s presidential foundation or museum, the people said. It would also include millions more in legal fees and public service announcements on Paramount-owned networks to fight antisemitism, the people said.
Trump’s team has said it wants an apology—something Paramount isn’t prepared to do, according to people familiar with the situation. It couldn’t be learned whether Trump’s team is still seeking an apology.
They don’t want to admit error, the WSJ later notes, because they don’t want to expose their news operations to further legal liability for cooked reporting and corrupt election meddling. They want the lawsuit out of the way for their merger with Skydance, likely because of the potential liability of a $20 billion claim on the balance sheet as the value of Paramount gets calculated.
Other media outlets also claim that Paramount and Redstone are worried that the FTC would intervene in the merger in retaliation, but that has never made a lot of sense. (The WSJ lays out that case near the end of that report, for those who want to read it.) There isn’t really much of a reason for an FTC intervention in this merger, as it’s not even among the more impactful consolidations in the entertainment industry of late. A federal court would make short shrift of such a move, especially these days, and maybe especially in the DC circuit.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
