I mean, that is a federal judge. So for Stephanopoulos to say to Nancy Mace, how can you, a rape survivor, support somebody who's been a judge to be a rapist? That's what this whole thing is about, for those who don't know. Now, Nancy Mace, did you see Nancy Mace's comments?
Yeah. She said that she was shamed as a rape victim, which is ridiculous. And then Jeremy, our producer, do you have the social media post that she just put up today? or after the ABC. First of you, and this is Nancy Mace, and now ABC News, we are so back. 2025 will be the year of mainstream media apologies. Okay. And they love this, don't they?
Well, what you said earlier is right. The interim, the terror effect of making comments like this is what they want. They want the media to think twice about running any story. Whereas in the past, it was like, you know, we are the media. We're the fourth estate. We are freedom of the press. Forget it. That is over.
And the only place left is independent journalism and independent media platforms because nobody knew what you and I were going to say today. Let alone tell us what to say.
I think the Pulitzer Prize for journalism and investigative reporting, I don't even know who you hand it out to anymore. Certainly not in America. You can't trust any of them. I mean, look, here's the settlement that just happened, just to round out this discussion. Ben and I did on Legal AF an update on the story.
We said, oh, all right, the magistrate federal judge is ordering Donald Trump to sit for deposition this coming week and for Stephanopoulos. Okay, four hour deposition. Fine, do that. And then ABC, you and your white shoe, $5,000 an hour lawyers file your motion for summary judgment. You're gonna win on the First Amendment and put this thing to bed and set the right precedent
that you're not going to a cow town, put your neck voluntarily under the boot of Donald Trump. And instead, not only do we get an announcement of a settlement, it's $16 million, $15 million for a presidential museum It was supposed to be a library, but Trump can't read. He doesn't read.
I didn't know that one. I didn't know that one. Well, look, and the million, they didn't rack up a million dollars in attorney's fees. I know the lawyer that he's using in Coral Gables. There's no way they racked it up on how limited the work's been done in this case at all on one set of motion practice. And they had a very good judge, Judge Altanaga, who I know well.
She's the chief judge of the Southern District. I knew her when she was a Miami-Dade County Circuit Court judge at state court. She's very good. They had the right judge. They have the right facts. They have the right law. They just didn't want
to uh to tangle with donald trump on the way in they wanted to make nice and so stephanopoulos had to agree i'm sure they all got in a room and the ben just did some reporting about some secret meetings between abc executives and donald trump at some point and and now you uh and now you understand it all but but look we're going to talk about um
We'll talk a little bit more about the White House coverage by and why I think Midas got it and no one else got it. This last interview, one of the last interviews for Joe Biden. They're going to talk about this breaking news happened like a half an hour, an hour before we took to the air, which is Judge Mershon, as expected, ruled on and against Donald Trump.
He found that the immunity decision by the United States Supreme Court from July has no impact at all on the evidence that was allowed into the trial that led to the conviction, and therefore he denied it. We're not done yet. There's one more motion coming. We'll talk more about that on the other side of the break, as well as
What is going on with the Republican MAGA zero majority now in the house with Victoria Sparts, a person I never heard of, and now she's the kingmaker.
You know more than I do. You'll take over that one. And then we'll talk about Alexander Smirnoff and things that are going on around the world. But one of the things that keeps this globe spinning and this Midas Touch network spinning because we don't have outside investors is our sponsors. And thank God they were over. Thank whoever.
They were all here after the election and doubled down on supporting independent and fair minded reporting and commentary journalism like we're doing here on the Midas Touch Network. So let's take our first ad break.
And we are back. All right. So, Anthony, for those that are just coming in midstream, the brothers are at the White House.
No big deal. Midas Dutch got the exclusive interview, got the get with President Joe Biden. We'll work on it. There you go. Jeremy loves this posting. And then we will, and then it will end up on the Midas Touch Network when it is ready. So let's talk about a new order that just came out by Judge Mershon. 34 felony count conviction, Anthony Wright, of Donald Trump.
All that's left is the sentencing. The jury spoke, 12 jurors, 12-0 in New York. He got convicted 34 times. That's a lot.
Well, right. I mean, at some point after he was convicted, at no time did he raise supremacy clause issues except over a couple of witnesses. During the trial, he never raised it. He never raised it in motion practice. He never raised any immunity or supremacy clause. But then he got this great ruling in July afterwards, before he was sentenced,
and he asked the judge to let briefing happen about it. The judge was about to enter this order on the 12th of November. But after the election, the other side and the Manhattan DA both joined together and said to the judge, well, there's been an election. Maybe that's changed some of the analysis.
