Megan, here's the funny thing. You can't see this, but this is a picture from December 14th, 2016. All the people sitting around this meeting in Trump Tower, it's Tim Cook, Bezos. It happened in 2016. They all came, but to Dan's point, they didn't like him. They didn't think he was legitimate. So to Donald Trump's point, they all kissed his ring in 2016 initially. They came up to Trump Tower.
I mean, there's probably 20 of these tech executives in this room. and yet very different outcome. The American people spoke very loudly. It wasn't just that Donald Trump won, it's that the policies of the left failed. The open borders, the DEI, the woke policies failed, and these corporate leaders that bought into it all are now realizing they were wrong.

Well, you're the lawyer, I'm not. So I'm going to defer to Megyn Kelly when it comes to legal matters. I will say the one that I get excited about, you mentioned, is the ABC one because that's completely false and Stephanopoulos knew it. And I think that when reporters get called out for being wrong, that's a good thing. They need to be held accountable just like anybody else.

And so I was excited about that. I think the bedwetters like Chuck Todd and Jim Acosta, who are talking about this being a threat to the media, are morons. The bottom line is that why should they get away with defaming people with inaccurate information or information they know to be wrong?

Look, the Sullivan standard that the Supreme Court has set for public figures proves that you have to prove intent and malice. It's a very high bar. And so there's a big difference for someone even like me who's had this kind of issue come up. The lawyers will tell you, God, this is how much it's going to cost you. This is the burden that we have to meet.

This is what's going to happen during discovery in terms of your emails, your texts coming out. So there's a reason not to do it. Now, in the Iowa case, my understanding is that what Trump's lawyers are going against isn't the Sullivan standard saying you defamed me, but in fact, a consumer law that Iowa has about misrepresenting people.

Again, I'll defer to you and the lawyers about the nuances of that, but they're using a very interesting tactic saying that they violated Iowa's consumer statute, which prevents misinformation about a product. Now, again, it's a very narrow reading from my layperson standpoint, but-
