Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We are one week out from Christmas. Just a warning to those who haven't done their shopping. One week to T-minus seven and T-minus six till Christmas Eve, for those of you who like to wait until the last minute. Okay, the media story everyone is talking about has continued to evolve with reports now that George Stephanopoulos over at ABC News is defiant and humiliated after ABC agreed to pay Trump $15 million to settle his defamation lawsuit against the network over their star host's false and misleading segment with Representative Nancy Mace. You know, I went back to look at the so-called apology.
That's how we referred to it the other day. I think that was erroneous. It wasn't really an apology. It was we regret the statements. George Stephanopoulos regrets the statements. Well, that's not exactly an apology, is it? He was forced to say that by his network, and now he's reportedly humiliated, as I say. Plus, there's new reporting from The New York Times that sheds light on President Biden's, quote, weary goodbye and the full extent of his infirmity, which continues to reveal itself day by day. And would you believe the team surrounding him is still alive? trying to claim that behind the scenes, he's amazing. He's like that Olympic break dancer behind the scenes. What was her name? She stole the whole show, the terrible one, but she was fit and able to move, unlike our current president. And then we've got an update on those drones. They're slipping the truth inside of their lives now. What was it? Rego, Rego, Rego. Uh, ray gun, ray gun. Okay. It sounds like a toy that we're going to get our kids for Christmas.
Anyway, joining me now to discuss all of this and more Adam Carolla, host of the Adam Carolla show. Are you overwhelmed with back taxes or unfiled returns?

Okay, so I guess let's start with Stephanopoulos, who is humiliated and very angry, according to the reports, that this has happened to him. The New York Times goes inside the suit and talks about how executives had expected or had anticipated that there would be a blowback to settling this. But they're in full revolt over there at ABC News, where they feel that the reputation has been unnecessarily sullied, that they didn't feel they should have settled with President Trump. And yet The Times pointing out that Disney had many reasons. Number one, there was a judge, Judge Al Tanaga, chief judge in the Southern District of Florida, who had denied Disney's motion to dismiss with some very strong language saying a reasonable jury could interpret Stephanopoulos' statements as defamatory and then added in italics, Stephanopoulos stated 10 times that a jury or juries had found plaintiff liable for rape, which was obviously not true.
