he is unwilling to do a 60 Minutes interview. Like every other major party candidate has done for more than half a century.

That was on the campaign, and former Vice President Kamala Harris said Donald Trump was afraid to do an interview with 60 Minutes on CBS. Donald Trump refused to sit for that interview. Kamala Harris sat for the interview. And then right before the election, Donald Trump sued CBS for $10 billion. Donald Trump judge-shopped for a pro-MAGA federal judge in Texas, a judge named Matthew Kaczmarek, Trump filed the case there. And then when Trump won the election, he pursued his petty grievances against CBS because he believes CBS embarrassed him by doing an interview with now former Vice President Kamala Harris. and then wanting to fact check Donald Trump. Donald Trump claimed that CBS selectively edited their interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, which was and is entirely false. But Donald Trump filed the most bogus lawsuit saying that it was an unfair business practice in Texas, and that's why he was judge shopping there. Well, let me tell you what Donald Trump is doing right now, something I believe is in my opinion, entirely unlawful.

So let's be clear, as egg prices are shooting up higher than ever, as groceries are going higher, as gas prices are going on, as unions are being screwed, as Elon Musk is taking over federal agencies, seizing potentially government data freezing federal employees out of their own systems, gutting key agencies, forcing out the head of the FAA as we're seeing like now what plane crashes happening almost on a daily basis. Donald Trump has now ordered the FCC to open up a formal inquiry against CBS and 60 Minutes, which is owned by Paramount, demanding they comply with a series of requests by the government. So Donald Trump is in a private lawsuit against CBS in federal court in Texas. He and CBS, which is owned by Paramount, asked that Trump, that pro-Trump judge in Texas to delay proceedings in Texas. while so-called settlement talks are taking place. So Paramount is trying to sell itself to another oligarchical company for tens of billions of dollars.
Ben Meiselas 3:19
And they know that that requires DOJ approval of a merger or acquisition Trump and the DOJ are likely indicating they will block that merger. And also CBS and Paramount think that if Donald Trump pursues investigations against them from the FCC, that will also work to stop the merger that the parent company of CBS that Paramount is trying to engage in. So while these private settlement talks are taking place, Trump has the FCC send a letter to Paramount ordering that they turn over information about the interview with Kamala Harris that Donald Trump was afraid to do. And what we're learning from the New York Times is that CBS News is set to hand over now the transcript of the 60 Minutes interview to the FCC, which it previously would not do.

Now, obviously, Donald Trump has forced meta interviews. Previously, Facebook to settle a personal grievance lawsuit that Donald Trump filed against them for $25 million. Purportedly, $23 million is going to go to a future library. Trump got ABC to settle for $15 million. And now his latest target is CBS. and he's obsessing over Kamala Harris right now. So as again, planes are crashing, okay, as America is far less safe. We all feel less safe as a result of Donald Trump. He's having the FCC pursue some that he felt humiliated by Kamala Harris. What a pathetic, weak individual. But if you were following the campaign, As we were reporting on this, Trump consistently said that this is what he was going to do.
