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 and happy Monday. Have you gotten all your Christmas shopping done yet? I have not. And it is a stressor. It is... I have like... As your kids get older, you don't even really know what to buy. It was so much easier when they were younger.
Anyway, um, God bless everyone. And I hope it's going better for you than it is for me.
If you have great ideas for a 15, 13 and 11 year old, I would love to hear them.
You can email me Megan at megankelly.com. And, um, before the week is through, I'll offer you some of the ideas I have come up with. Maybe we can share and contrast. In any event, today we start with this delicious news. I mean, you never see, you never see these media organizations held to account for their vile lies they tell about Donald Trump. I mean, it's rare to see it happen at all.
And trust me, as a media figure, I'm not clamoring to see media figures get sued for defamation for mild sins or even moderate sins. But this was just so egregious. And they did it over and over and over again at ABC News. They didn't care. They clearly enjoyed saying what George Stephanopoulos said. It made them feel good about themselves. This is George Stephanopoulos's
I'll just leave the dirty teen joke there, that that's how he feels about saying nasty things about Trump. And finally, it came back to bite him. I would love to see what's in his text messages to his producers because I guarantee it just cost ABC News $15 million. That's almost certainly what happened. So you may have heard this over the weekend. Trump sued ABC News and ABC News caved.
They collapsed. They gave in like that and quickly settled the case with President-elect Donald Trump after the network's top star, George Stephanopoulos, had been ruled by the judge to be required to sit for a deposition. He fought it. He didn't want to have to do it. And the judge late last week said, well, you have to. You said a bunch of dumb shit. You've been sued for defamation.
I've refused to get rid of this case thus far. And you must sit like any other defendant, you privileged whatever. you must sit for a deposition and answer questions from Trump's lawyer. Trump, earlier in the case, had said, I'll sit for deposition, but not right now because I'm running for president, so I'm kind of busy.
And the judge gave him a delay, but the judge also looked at Trump and said, you must sit too. You got a little time on your hands. I'm aware of your job. So Trump was going to have to sit too. But Trump, we know, is willing. Trump sat when he was getting sued by E. Jean Carroll. Remember, that's that famous...
