What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to Hot Topics. And we're so happy that you're here. We're a little bit late for a couple of legitimate reasons. One, I've got a sick doggy. But two, we started with who is the actual president of the United States or at least president elect? We know Joe Biden is now. But who is the actual president elect of the United States? Is it Donald Trump or is it Elon Musk? We'll get into that in a second. But the reason we're a little bit late is because we're starting with some breaking news. Do you guys remember Fannie Willis? Let's put up the headlines, shall we? Because the hits just keep on coming. Trump Georgia election case, D.A. Fannie Willis disqualified, but indictment stands.
That's according to an appeals court or appeals court in Georgia. has decided to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis from overseeing the criminal election interference prosecution of President-elect Donald Trump and other defendants. But the Court of Appeals lets stand the indictment against the defendants who are accused of crimes related to their efforts to overturn Trump's loss in the Georgia 2020 election. To President Joe Biden. So you guys know, you remember how all of this came about. Fannie Willis had an affair with someone that she had hired to be the prosecutor in that case, or at least to work on the case. And therefore, it went to court. Remember, she went to trial.
I mean, well, she didn't go to trial. She testified. They put her on the stand. Folks at the time were like, this is great. You know, she's being a strong woman. And many people like me were going, oh, boy, this is not good. Maybe they were targeting her because she's a woman of color. But her actions were not good. And she should not have done what she did. She should have been more buttoned up. But as is the case with these things, when that doesn't happen, then you suffer the consequences because there you go. So look, I know that you guys want to, a lot of folks want to make excuses for Bonnie Willis. Even women in my own family were trying to do as much. And then finally, they realized like, hey, you know what?
Yeah, not happening. Also, other breaking news. As it relates to Luigi Mangione, we've got some new stuff. I'm not sure if you have it up there. Let's see. Luigi Mangione, the CEO killing suspect, faces hearing over extradition to New York. He formally waived extradition. So what does that mean? That means Luigi Mangione will be coming back to New York. Okay.
Okay.
So there's lots of breaking news. Man. Wow. So we have the Mangione and we have the Fannie Willis. I want to know what you guys think about all this.
What breaking legal news disqualified Fulton County DA Fani Willis and what does it mean?
And then I want to know who is the real president of the United States. Let me get to the comments. Wow, guys. The hits just keep on coming. Trash. I see lots of trash cans. Lots of people are upset. Wow, the engagement is really great this morning. I'm so glad that you guys are all tuning in. How are you? They took Fannie Willis off the case. Yeah, they took her off the case. But now, Bonnie Willis can't do it. They took her off. Someone else is going to have to do it. And that doesn't bode well. That is just going to be fodder for if ever this, if, when, or if this ever does go to court, or if it ever is adjudicated, that is just going to be evidence as to say there were some shenanigans going on and this should be dismissed and they might win.
And they probably will. That's why you've got to be buttoned up. And again, I know this is upsetting for a lot of people. And they're like, you know, she's a grown woman. She should be able to do what she wants. Pardon me, I'm just adjusting something here. She should be able to do what she wants. They're targeting her. And as I said, a couple of things can be true. Yes, they could be targeting her. And also, she could have effed up. And she did. And she did. So here's the breaking news. I'm reporting. This is from NBC News at Georgia Appellate Court Thursday. Disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Bonnie Willis removed her from prosecuting Donald Trump and co-defendants in a case that she brought over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
