Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics with Don Lemon. We're so glad that you can join us this morning. We have a very interesting show for you. One that we hope that you will like because, you know, I always tell you guys, hey, you know, I'm gonna bring you the truth. Whether you agree with it or not, it doesn't matter. I'm always going to tell you the truth. So we're gonna tell you the truth this morning. And the question is, did ABC... Did ABC cave too soon? That's what I want to know. So you heard the music. The music means our show is beginning. Good morning, everyone. I see all of you have already started before the show is even on. You're in the comments. So let me just recognize some people here, especially our folks who are members.

So just so you know, you can also join us at 10 Eastern. Live every day as we are live here and you can get the truth and you can start your day with knowing what is happening. So let's see where some of you folks who are members. Members are in green if you're in the chat. Marie Maniscola says good morning from New Jersey. Beth Collier, ABC is owned by Disney, so maybe Disney thought it was worth it not to have a protracted court case, question mark. Beth, you may be smart. We have a guest coming up who may agree with you or may not agree with you.
Good morning from Fort Wayne, Indiana, says LaFara Hudson. Okay, someone is from the Bahamas, Columbus, Ohio, Springfield, Missouri, Compton, California. We welcome all. Hey now, Dons, it's Lisa Lipscomb. Lisa, thank you. Hey now, right back at you, okay? So let's get this party started. This morning, I'm having a little coffee from my Theodore's Book coffee mug, where I did a book signing, a virtual book signing, a virtual book event for them. They're down in New Orleans. Oh, no, sorry. Theodore's Books, Oyster Bay, Long Island. I'm sorry, Oyster Bay, Long Island. Wrong Theodore's Books. Theodore's Books in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Okay, so... We had a great book event there. So did they capitulate to autocracy to protect Disney shareholders?
Was the $15 million they willingly gave to Trump in the Stephanopoulos settlement, was it an exercise in ring kissing? Did they bend the knee? Also remember George Stephanopoulos had to give a million dollars of his own money as well. In this episode, yet another instance of corporate media in crisis, is it? That's what I want to discuss today with my dear friend and a very powerful voice and attorney, legal analyst, Marie, Marie, Monique Presley. Why am I calling you Marie? I need to drink more of this coffee. Monique Presley is a political, a legal analyst, a political commentator, the host of the Make It Make Sense with Monique Presley show airing weekdays live at noon Eastern on Instagram, rebroadcast on YouTube, of course, and also a familiar face to all the Lemonheads.
So thank you very much. Also joining us in different platforms. We are on, YouTube. We are on TikTok. We are on Instagram. We're on Facebook as well. If you're on any of those, make sure you hit the likes, especially if you're on TikTok.
