Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Trump won fifteen million statements of regret from the network
- 0:08Speaker 1: and Stephanopoulos. I mean, if Trump got paid for all
- 0:12Speaker 1: of the lies from mainstream media, it would be more
- 0:15Speaker 1: than the GDP of the world.
- 0:17Speaker 2: It's a settlement.
- 0:19Speaker 1: So ABC News decided, you know, this has gone on
- 0:23Speaker 1: long enough and for whatever reason we can speculate about it,
- 0:26Speaker 1: whatever reason, they're just going to call it off. Probably
- 0:29Speaker 1: nothing to do with the fact that Trump's becoming president,
- 0:32Speaker 1: that he's the president's elect. I feel like that might
- 0:35Speaker 1: have something to do with it. I don't think that's crazy.
- 0:38Speaker 1: Incoming President Donald Trump has won millions in a defamation
- 0:42Speaker 1: lawsuit against ABC News and veteran anchor George Stephanopoulos. George
- 0:48Speaker 1: Stephanopoulos who repeatedly stated on air that Trump was found
- 0:54Speaker 1: quote liable for rape despite that not being the case. Yes,
- 1:00Speaker 1: that was never the case. That was a lie, I mean,
- 1:03Speaker 1: one of hundreds of thousands of lies told about Trump.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Court documents show that a settlement between Trump and ABC
- 1:11Speaker 1: include the network paying fifteen million to the President's elect
- 1:16Speaker 1: as a charitable contribution to a presidential foundation and museum
- 1:21Speaker 1: to be established by or for plaintiff as presidents of
- 1:26Speaker 1: as presidents of the United States of America have established
- 1:29Speaker 1: in the past.
- 1:30Speaker 2: All right, the network will.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Also have to fork over one million for Trump's attorney fees,
- 1:37Speaker 1: so it's not actually an enormous amount of money for ABC,
- 1:42Speaker 1: although who knows. I mean, the ratings are so bad
- 1:44Speaker 1: and that may actually be maybe that'll break them, who knows,
- 1:48Speaker 1: let's say. Additionally, Stephanopoulos and ABC News will issue statements
- 1:54Speaker 1: of regret about the anchors repeated lie about Trump. Fox
- 1:57Speaker 1: noted the statement reads as follows out. ABC News and
- 2:02Speaker 1: George Stephanappa lah blahla bla bla bla upolus regret statements
- 2:06Speaker 1: regarding President Donald J. Trump made joining an interview by
- 2:09Speaker 1: George Stephanopoulos with Representative Nancy Mason ABC's This Week on
- 2:15Speaker 1: March tenth, twenty twenty four. I don't feel like they
- 2:18Speaker 1: meant it. I want more. I want something videoed. It's
- 2:22Speaker 1: a statement. I want a video and I want tears.
- 2:25Speaker 1: That's not enough. I don't think that's sincere. During the
- 2:29Speaker 1: interview with Mace, Stephanopoulos said ten times that Trump was
- 2:33Speaker 1: liable for rape the way federal jury found Trump liable
- 2:36Speaker 1: for sexual abuse against controversial journalist E. Gen Carroll. Yes,
- 2:41Speaker 1: from thirty years ago. Of course this was in Manhattan,
- 2:44Speaker 1: so Trump was totally going to get a fair get
- 2:47Speaker 1: fair treatment there. Let's see thirty years ago, she couldn't
- 2:50Speaker 1: get her story straight, and yet well it's Trump, what
- 2:53Speaker 1: are you gonna do? I mean, truly like a non
- 2:57Speaker 1: reliable witness in Carol, like her story didn't that up.
- 3:02Speaker 1: There was a dress shite she was saying she was
- 3:04Speaker 1: wearing that didn't even exist at the time. It was
- 3:07Speaker 1: just entirely the word of a obviously a crazy lady
- 3:11Speaker 1: against Trumps. But again it's orange man, Orange man, New York.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Well that's how it goes. Trump has denied the allegations
- 3:20Speaker 1: made by Carol and was never criminally charged that.
- 3:24Speaker 2: They never mentioned that. They never mentioned that.
- 3:26Speaker 1: They just lie to make it seem as bad as possible,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and they never tell the other side of the story.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Why would they. That's not their job.
- 3:34Speaker 1: If they did, they'd get fired because their job is
- 3:36Speaker 1: not to inform you, it's to manipulate you and everybody
- 3:40Speaker 1: across the world.
- 3:41Speaker 2: If they want to get paid, they got to do
- 3:43Speaker 2: that anyway.
- 3:46Speaker 1: So fifteen million, fifteen million, it's not going you know,
- 3:50Speaker 1: Trump's not taking it, sticking in his sticking it in
- 3:53Speaker 1: his back pocket. Right, it's going to go to a foundation.
- 3:58Speaker 1: So what why would they be see news do it?
- 4:00Speaker 1: I mean, for one thing, they're guilty, dead to rights.
- 4:05Speaker 1: It's just that the problem is with this sort of thing,
- 4:07Speaker 1: with the defamation suits, they're very very difficult, very difficult.
- 4:12Speaker 1: One reason to settle is to not have to go
- 4:15Speaker 1: into discovery and show all your text messages related all
- 4:18Speaker 1: around it. That can be very embarrassing for propaganda outlets.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Another one might be simply that Trump's getting into office,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and you know what, we've ruined our reputation so much,
- 4:30Speaker 1: maybe it's best to just get off to a fresh start.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's genuine fear of retribution by Trump. I mean,
- 4:38Speaker 1: he's not Trump isn't going to start. He's not, regardless
- 4:42Speaker 1: of what. I don't know, Like the Ladies on the
- 4:44Speaker 1: View or Rachel Maddow might say, he's not gonna round
- 4:46Speaker 1: up all the journalists and stick him in gamps. But
- 4:49Speaker 1: maybe there are people at the top that are genuinely
- 4:51Speaker 1: Trump arranged. Maybe they genuinely think that. I don't know,
- 4:55Speaker 1: but it's settled and it's good and it's a win
- 4:57Speaker 1: for Trump anyway. That's all I'm going to say about that.
