Just when we thought it was gonna be a slow news day, everyone, just when we thought, Fannie Willis, woo, she's in trouble. See, I'm so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as Fannie in a way to attempt to humiliate me.
Because like silly schoolboys, the name reminds them of a woman's rear.
Can I be a silly schoolboy for just a minute, just a minute? Yeah, Fanny, it does remind everyone of a woman's rear, and by the way, you're out on your fanny right about now. Huge news today, everyone.
Take a look. The appeals court has disqualified Fannie Willis from prosecuting the Georgia Trump case, which means basically the case is DOA done over. Do you know how much time it would take to reassemble an entirely new team? They disqualified her because the significance appearance of.
Impropriety was just a little too much given her relationship with one of the top prosecutors, one Nathan Wade. I mean this woman has got to be unbelievably dumb, unbelievably dumb. She's out there parading around with Nathan Wade, having a whole thing with this guy who, by the way, was married, taking like cruise after cruise after cruise, living it up.
Nathan Wade, whom she's paying, who's her top prosecutor to go after Donald Trump? Take a look at what they said after carefully considering the trial court's findings in its order, we conclude that it erred in failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office. See, I thought that long ago. I told you.
I told you there was no way they could be bringing this case forward, and we just had to sit around and wait for the court of appeals, but in the end justice is being done. The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed.
At times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring, you think, you think the court said while it recognizes an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification.
There is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy than zip nada, my words not theirs, will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings, right, because nobody trusted the woman, nobody trusted her accordingly, they wrote, We reversed the trial court's denial of the appellant's of motion to disqualify DA Willis and her office. The
states as we conclude that the elected district attorney is wholly disqualified from this case, the assistant district attorneys, those are all the other people, right, whose only power to prosecute the case is derived from the constitutional authority of the district attorney who appointed them, have no authority to proceed. In other words, Fannie is finito because she didn't get just some basics, like some real simple basics. Here's the prosecutor asking her.
Are you aware that Fulton County requires you to disclose any relationship with someone that you're doing business with?
I'm not aware and I'm,
I know often that time
things are confused with state constitutional officers and county, but I'm not aware.
You're not aware. I mean, how, how can you be the district attorney there in Fulton County and not be aware?
I mean, she's just, she's just dumb? Didn't she campaign on the idea that she wasn't gonna have flings with her personnel? Because they deserve a DA that won't have sex with his employees. Because they deserve a DA that won't put money in their own pocket when it should go to benefit children because we deserve better.
Like you, we deserve you, Fannie. That was Fannie Willis speaking with a local news reporter when she was campaigning to get the gig as district attorney. I mean, and then she turns around and takes up with this idiot. Our relationship was professional. Um, our relationship, uh, grew organically over time. Um.
It was something that was not deliberate or intentional. Um, I made the statement earlier that uh workplace romances are as American as apple pie, right? Um, that was not to make light of the situation. And he's not backing down from that. No, no, no, he's not backing down. He doubled down. They're on MSNBC and of course the idiots at MSNBC, nobody even bothers to challenge.
on any of this unbelievable stuff, unbelievable this thing deserved to be thrown out ages ago. It is just so beyond wrong significant appearance of impropriety, you think when you take up with the guy that's working for you that you're paying, you're signing off, he's charging what, $250 an hour you're signing the checks. Where is he made like 6 or $7000 he's running up to DC incidentally.
Incidentally, to allegedly talk to Garland and company about the case because you know this was, this was something that was very important, shall we say to the White House's she's she's paying them she's going on cruises. I mean they may not have been like super high end cruises, but he's taking her here, there and everywhere with the money.
That she's paying him.
Like anybody else see that is maybe just a little bit of a conflict.
This case is over and you know what? You don't have to take my word for it. We can go to the CNN legal scholar. I mean, even the mainstream media has admitted that this is done.
That case against him in Georgia, the criminal case where it's accusing him and several others of a racketeering conspiracy related to the 2020 election, it's already been paused. Now it's not even back burner. This is a case that will be dead in the water because the Georgia Court of Appeals is now saying that Fonny Willis, the leader of the prosecution against Donald Trump.
The district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, she should be disqualified from being able to bring that case. The Georgia Court of Appeals is saying that it's a significant appearance of impropriety caused by the conduct of a public prosecutor. That is Willis, how she behaved, how she was speaking about the case, about Trump publicly about how she was having a relationship with the.
Prosecutor that was concealed in this, a man named Nathan Wade, all of that previously the trial judge had looked at and saidon Willis can stay on this case. We're not dismissing the indictment, but the Court of Appeals is now taking another look and saying no, the trial judge was wrong. Fon Willis should be disqualified from continuing to lead this case. It would be a long process or it will be.
A long process to replace her, which is why I say this case is dead in the water now without Fani Willis, the person who was leading this case against Donald Trump in Fulton County, and just to keep tabs on how many cases,
yeah, all the cases are going away, all the cases are going away, but it's totally dead. I mean you cannot realistically get a whole new DA in a whole new DA's office in time enough that this would ever make sense, by the way.
Think about this, what happens to Fanny?
What happens tofani, funny because oopsy daisy, I can't say this, right? She told me, no, no, no, don't make fun of my fanny.
See, I'm so tired of hearing these idiots call my name as Fannie in a way to attempt to humiliate me.
Because like silly schoolboys, the name reminds them of a woman's rear.
OK, that was back in June. So Fanny, who was willing to put the now president elect, former president of the United States in jail, went out of her way to make sure that she got a mug shot of him is now finding herself in a whole lot of trouble, you see, Fanny, Fanny, whatever you wanna call her could see see her Fanny in the uh in the slammer, so to speak.
Mike David, who's one of the attorneys for Trump, went on our friend Benny's show a little, a little while ago and this guy just cracks me up. But anyway, he crystallized it. He's like, listen, this woman could be facing disbarment she could be facing jail.
And so now I gotta ask you about the future. Do you think that Fanny Willis may be facing dis uh disbarment or jail?
Uh, she should face both. I mean, she is obviously corrupt. Her office just got disqualified because of her corruption. Uh, the state of Georgia should bring state fraud and corruption charges, and the feds need to bring federal fraud and corruption charges in addition to the criminal conspiracy against rights. And you have to ask this question of Merrick Garland who says that.
Nobody's above the law. Where the hell is the criminal probe of Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade? And maybe they don't want to bring this criminal probe because it ties directly to the Biden White House, including Biden White House counsel's office. Nathan Wade had 2 meetings, again, $4000 worth of his time billed to Fulton County taxpayers 16 hours for his two meetings. Maybe that's why Merrick Garland is protecting Joe Biden and Joe Biden's White House again.
But guess what?
There's a whole team coming in. I don't think they're gonna protect these folks. You know what, they shouldn't.
I realized Donald Trump says, oh, he wants to move on this, that and the other, and that's great and that's mag magnanimous of him, but reality is you can't have prosecutors thinking they can do this with sort of political arsenal reasons, right? They can't be using taxpayer dollars to go after political enemies at the behest of the White House, which is what it looks like.
Nathan Wade running up to DC.
For $4000 worth of his time that you know you wonder how much Fannie got back all so that they could get this mug shot which incidentally Donald Trump raised a ton of money off of because everybody's like come on, come on, he doesn't have the right to say hey can you count those votes again?
I mean they counted them again in in Florida I do recall.
Al Gore was on the losing end of that one, but you ought to be able to say, hey, can you do this? Well, they went after him on a racketeering charge. It was bogus, it was crazy, and these people aren't smart enough, clearly to ever figure out how to do anything anyway.
They had the B team in Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade. So Mike Davis went on and um he's pretty funny about it. Apparently she's like a gray goose kind of girl, so she was uh charging enough in terms of, you know, whatever the kickbacks were for the cruises, etc. it's funny, listen. She paid him $250 an hour, $700,000 in Fulton County funds to bring a
RICO case against President Trump and 18 others for the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election which is allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887 and the First Amendment and if that's not a big enough problem that she hired her secret boyfriend, she also took illegal kickbacks.
From her dumb unqualified boyfriend in the form of lavish trips around the world, poor Nathan had to take Fannie Willis to Belize and the Caribbean and Napa, all over the world. Remember Fannie Willis testified that she's a gray goose girl. She is a high class woman. Uh, I was gonna use another word but I'll get in trouble on your show. uh, but, uh, so she took these illegal kickbacks.
Uh, she, which means that she has a financial stake in the case. You're paying someone to handle your prosecution in your office and then you're taking money in return. Not only does that, uh, disqualify you from the case, it disqualifies the entire office from the case and it's also very serious criminal violations like, for example, federal honest services fraud, maybe bribery, uh, maybe other statutes and.
You know, he's, I, I wanna just expand upon that because I, I've said that from the beginning. I mean one of the big questions in all of this was just exactly how much did she get out of it. Now the reason why they were not successful in the first go around, I think the judge was flawed. I think he was scared. I think he didn't know what to do. I think he actually should have.
Made exactly the decision that the appeals court just made, but the reason that they were reluctant was they were like, well, you know, maybe it wasn't that much money. Well, how do you know how much money it was? Remember how proud her dad was of saying, you know, that it was actually a black thing that they kept cash, a lot of transactions were done in cash and that she apparently paid him back for all the cruises and the gray goose, martinis, etc. etc.
But here was my question all along, and I was demanding that somebody go in there and do some forensic accounting because what if she was paying him what it was 600 $700,000 that he got from taxpayers? What if it wasn't just Cruises and Gray Goose? What if it was.
Actually, a portion of the earnings in some way, shape or form. Maybe, maybe she's like the agent, she's like, I want 15% off the top. That's what I wanted them to figure out and that's what I still want them to figure out.
Where did all that money go?
Napa Valley, Belize, etc. dinners out, but I think that they actually might possibly discover there's more there, you know, we wouldn't even know about this, guys, if it wasn't for the ex-wife. So you know, he takes up with Fanny Willis and his, his ex-wife was kind of annoyed, right? She was his wife at the time and so she.
Exposed it all.
All of it. How many times was Fanny there with him, I guess at her pad, he was like constantly over at her place while he was interviewing for the job, that's a biggie. So wait, were they all already an item they may have been.
Because he was reportedly.
Hanging out
A lot of times at her condo there in Fulton County.
So that's going down and then she hires him.
I think you get a lot of questions to ask. I think Kash Patel is gonna have a field day. I think Pam Bondi is gonna have a lot of work to do.
And then you gotta consider this. So knowing that Fannie is now kaput, she's out, disqualified from bringing any of these cases forward, what happens to Letitia James?
We'll go back to Mike Davis just just one more time for that. Uh, let me just say this to Big Tish James, the New York attorney General, I, I, I dare you. I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump in his second term because listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fat ass in.
Prison for conspiracy against rights and I promise you that. So think long and hard before you want to violate President Trump's constitutional rights or any other American's constitutional rights. We, it's not gonna happen again. We've been warning people on the show, Mike, this isn't the same Trump administration. Stop messing around. Don't rig elections, don't illegally vote.
Don't try the funny business because we know the team this time and they are not effing around. No, Benny's right. Benny's totally right. Like this is not their first rodeo. They were there before Donald Trump was in office before, and he saw what happened.
And he saw how he got trapped or tripped up in that whole Russia Russia Russia thing like for four straight years how they were constantly feeding these false narratives which all turned out to be wrong how they in my estimation, and I said this at the time got me in a whole lot of trouble, but back in March 2020 I'm like they're gonna use this they are gonna use this to unseat him they're going to use this to shut down the country, scare the hell out of everyone and make sure that you can't vote for Donald Trump again. They want to destroy him and it's what they did.
I mean, maybe it was just a coincidence it kind of fell on their lap, but they ran with that, right? They ran all the way they could to the end goal, to the field goal with that ball in hand and so Donald Trump knows that.
He knows what they did now, everything's getting exposed, everything is falling apart, and I think Letitia James is the next to fall.
Her case is waiting on the Court of Appeals in the state of New York and they made it very clear I mean as soon as the woman who's representing her case, Judith Ve got up to speak in front of these judges like immediately they shut her down remember this.
May it please the Court. Judith Bale for the New York Attorney General's office. All of the defendants repeatedly violated, can you identify any previous case which the Attorney General sued under executive Law 6312 to upset a private business transaction.
That was between equally sophisticated partners with the supposed victim had the ability and legal obligation to discover the allegedly misrepresented matters by conducting its own due diligence where the supposed wrongdoer advised the supposed victim through written disclaimers to conduct its own due diligence and to draw its own conclusions.
The alleged misrepresentation almost entirely concerned inherently subjective valuations of properties and businesses and where and where the victim never complained about any fraud of the transactional losses from it because I've gone through the cases which you've cited and all of them always involved the consumer protection aspect. It involved protection of the market.
And I want to add to his question and little to no impact on the public marketplace.
OK, so Leticia's next. All right, Leticia, who says that she's got steel in her backbones, Letitia James, who will not be intimidated by the likes of one Donald Trump because she's just a little toughie. She's proud of the hundreds of cases that she brought against his administration, and she wants you to know she's not gonna back down.
Except of course she may be forced.
To back down
Like seriously forced by the Court of Appeals. We're waiting on the decision. I think it should come any day now. Here we go. I will not fear Donald Trump. I have steel in my backbone, and the reality is, I will not allow this um person, Donald Trump, who unfortunately is a broken man, to get in the way of progress and to separate us.
4 days after a judge ordered.
Leticia, I hate to break it to you, honey, but you're going exactly the way of Fanny.
This stuff is getting shut down.
All of these cases because they never had anything to begin with. Letitia James oh that one's just that one really blows me away. I, I think that's sort of the craziest of all. I mean they're all crazy, don't get me wrong.
Maybe it's just
My background in business journalism that that I really just I'm like in background on Wall Street I'm like uh who are you Leticia to decide how much a particular property is worth and thus how much Deutsche Bank should be willing to lend one Donald Trump. You're gonna stick your nose in the middle of that transaction? I mean it literally makes no sense and she needs to pay the price for that.
And these are rabid prosecutors that are really engaging in, as they say, lawfare. It is a kind of warfare and it's very dangerous and sets really terrible precedents.
And they get the media on their side, of course, more on that in a moment, but first, you know what, have you been watching the market crazy stuff going on? I know, I know, I know.

Oh my gosh, have you been watching this CR thing? I mean, this is amazing. They put thousands of pages in front of us and they're like, OK, now we're just gonna pass this or else the government's gonna shut down. What are you gonna do then? Well, Elon Musk, like, heck yeah, let the government shut down because it's not right.
To put all this pork in there and we're talking a lot of pork that's in the continuing resolution so.
He kind of stirred things up over on Twitter.
And before you know it, he's got a tweet like this one out saying your elected representatives have heard you and now the terrible bill is dead. The voice of the people has triumphed. In other words, Elon was able to rattle the cages and get the word out and all of a sudden everybody looked at this bill and they're like, oh my gosh, what the heck are you talking about? Like, come on, come on, come on, come on. I mean you get Christmas only a few days away and you guys are trying to stuff this one through. Are you kidding me?
I mean, what are, what are the Democrats thinking? What is Chuck Schumer thinking? What are the Republicans thinking that we're willing to go, oh, I know, I know they were gonna get a pay raise out of it, right? Well, one of the little items we had Pat Toomey, Senator Toomey, on the show the other day to talk about was this $50 billion giveaway effectively for Big Pharma, Big Pharma, right, like a little stocking stuffer bill that was included in this thing.
It was a dramatic expansion of government intervention in the private health care market. It was handing big pharma this massive, massive, massive wind profit windfall, and it was at the expense of the American people. So this was kind of a sneak attack and we were saying this is something that kind of people need to get in front of and guess what you guys did.
And Twitter helped. I mean you got every year big pharma out there hiking the prices on these drugs because it's good for them, right, the prescription drugs and and they're hiking them in a rate that's way higher than inflation as you know, drug companies are setting the price and they're hiking the price, and Americans are locked into these medicines and what happens if they get in the way and then they they don't allow for.
Other companies to negotiate better prices because now the government's suddenly in charge in cahoots if you would with big pharma well that's not fair that's not right I mean we shouldn't be having to subsidize the big pharma health companies right? And so this is just one of the many things I mean there were people that were concerned about some bio labs that were allegedly being added.
In there, um, they didn't like the idea of that. And so again, Elon like took to Twitter. He was tweeting everything out, everybody mobilized, and before you know it, the thing died. Whoopi Goldberg is furious.
I mean, why on earth she wanted this continuing resolution that was thousands of pages long with a bunch of stuff that nobody knew about in there.
You got me.
But now she's she's out on the view say, oh, you know, it's all Elon's fault, maybe Elon's really the one running the government and then she takes it a step further and she's like.
Hey,
Maybe it really is Elon and JD Vans and and I mean she, she makes some pretty wild.
Accusations. I'll leave it at that. We'll let her say it.
Crazy woman that she is.
Who is in charge? Because I've been saying it for a while. I've been saying that. I think Elon Musk believes he's president.
I do. I do. I called, I called him vice president. I called him president because I don't know what JD is doing. I, I hardly ever. I don't, I don't remember last time we even talked about JD. You're right. He's planning the presidency when he gonna get rid of Trump. So you think it's Musk, Musk Vance possible.
Mm
Hey, you know who stay away from the stairways.
Because you know people put the leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out.
Wow.
I mean, you wanna talk conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theorist.
Whoopi Goldberg, I, I think you have outdone Rachel Maddow.
You know, where's, where's Rachel when you need, oh gosh, you know she's off. It's, it's Thursday. Rachel doesn't work on Thursday or Friday or Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday either. She just has one show once a week for a reported $25 million. She had to take a pay cut down $5 million for that one show a week and so Whoopi has to fill the void. Someone has to do it, right?
I mean we just wish it wasn't actually on federally owned airwaves that they were promoting constant conspiracy theories and truly trying to work in my estimation against the American people that show is I won't even say the word.
I'll spell it CAP. That is what that show is and it doesn't belong on television. You can have an opinion, fine, all right, go do a podcast, go on the cable, but don't use up our network airwaves with CRAP.
So she thinks because Elon, in my estimation, did a very good deed, getting in front of this train wreck.
She thinks because he did that that somehow he's controlling the country. I, I, I would just add to this, you know what Elon also wanted Howard Lutnak to be Treasury secretary because Howard really likes Bitcoin and Elon really likes cryptos, etc. and Donald Trump didn't go with that.
No, no, no, he went with Scott Bessant.
Scott Besson, who wasn't like the mega pick, but Scott Besson, who he probably felt at the end of the day might be better signing our Treasury notes than Howard Lutnick for whatever reason.
I, I, I have some ideas on why, but we'll leave that for another day. So Howard's great and now he's commerce secretary fine, but Elon wanted Howard and Trump's like, nope, because he actually is his own man. But guess what? his own man that he is was also saying this doesn't look very good. I mean when when Vivek is out tweeting that.
As head of Doge along with Elon, he wants to be able to look at this thing before it passes, and it's some 1400 pages long or 1800 pages long. How does anybody have the time to read it? Well, Vivek did. He did read the whole thing. He's like, oh, OK, we don't need this.
And so consequently this thing got stopped dead in its tracks. Finally people looking out for the American people right now in the past 30 or 40 minutes here that they might try to pull this interim spending bill off the floor and maybe.
We just go with a clean bill. Unclear what that means for disaster assistance. Here's what happened. A post on X by Elon Musk sent shock waves through the Capitol. House Republicans were trying to see if they have enough votes to pass the spending bill in the next hour or two. Musk posted that anyone who votes yes should lose their office in 2 years, and lawmakers are scrambling.
Tweets from Musk has that complicated this? Well, I mean, I think that there's always a lot of interest in what's happening up here, and this is more than it they're telling people if they vote yes they should be voted out. The social media world is a part of our politics, and I think members have to expect that there will be a lot of hard votes in the next couple of years.
A member of the House Republican leadership told Fox that Musk is not helping. The lawmaker added that Musk has bigger fish to fry than picking a fight with House Republicans. One source said the bill is now bleeding support from the GOP. When asked how many Democrats the GOP needs to pass the bill, a senior aide replied, quote, a lot. Lawmakers who had hurricanes devastate their districts are torn.
The fact is that look, this is a sandwich. I don't know how else to say that. We're being forced into this position. They could have done a standalone. They did this because they knew that it would put members in this position to support it. We're damned if we do, we're damned if we don't.
Now the bill has about $100 billion in disaster relief, nearly $30 billion to restock FEMA's coffers, and there are lots of healthcare provisions. Jamming everything together in one bill means some Republicans will not support Mike Johnson for Speaker in January.
Have any other of your colleagues said that they're not voting for Johnson I've
talked to a few who don't seem like they're going to vote for him.
You have to ask them.
I'm not going to betray
anybody's
position.
Will you just vote present or will you vote someone else's vote for somebody else.
Now Johnson can only lose one vote and still win the Speaker's race on January 3rd. Some Republicans ask how things are different with a spending bill like this under Johnson than former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The funding deadline is Friday night, Neil.
Mm
That was Chad over at Fox, uh, really, really good reporter, and he kind of lives, sleeps, eats and breathes the stuff. He, he gets really excited when it's CR time. I always remember at the end of the year it's like, oh, Chad, oh gosh, everybody just wants to go home for Christmas, but he gets stuck there because we always deal with this, right? We always deal with this. Well, finally somebody's like, hey, we're not gonna deal with this. We're gonna actually force them to do a clean CR.
And then guess what, we can deal with all this other stuff and all the pork when Trump gets into office, which means it's probably not gonna happen, right? No, it's not gonna happen and you know they're freaking out on the view over it why? Like what is in it for you? Whoopi? Don't you just actually want what's best for the people?
Hm.
I leave that question to you guys. Does Whoopi want what's best for the people?
Oh, I'll tell you, ABC needs to cut, cut bait like just out with the view. It, it needs to end. The show is terrible, as I said, CRAP.
And you know Disney might actually be a little bit more willing to rethink this stuff I mean they may be forced to by the new head of the FCC under Donald Trump because it is on network television, so there's that and then there's the fact that Bob Iger is not exactly the most popular person.
With one Elon Musk who apparently, if you listen to Woof he has a fair amount of say.
There was advertisers leaving, we talked to Bob Iger today.
You, uh, don't advertise.
You don't want them to advertise? No. What do you mean?
If, if somebody's gonna try to blackmail me with advertising, blackmail me with money, go yourself.
But
Go yourself.
Is that clear?
I hope it is.
Hey Bob, you're in the audience.
Well, well, let me ask you then,
He's talking about Bob Iger. Bob, if you're in the audience, go after yourself, right? So Bob Iger runs Disney. Disney runs ABC News. ABC News runs The View, and it also runs this week with George Stephanopoulos who's like their signature signature anchor over there, political anchor, by the way, who used to work for Bill Clinton. He was like the KJP for Bill Clinton.
So you know where his allegiances are amazing that he's suddenly now working for ABC News as a journalist with a capital J. Give me a break.
He's got very clear biases. He's very in tight with the whole Democrat establishment. He was one of them and then.
Switched over to the airwaves. I mean, at least Jen Psaki had the decency to go to MSNBC.
Which prides itself on being the anti-Trump network. This guy is like masquerading as though he's a journalist, and he's not.
So he's on Good Morning America and he's got this show on the weekend and you see ABC News had to pay a lot of money.
To make this little problem with Donald Trump go away because he completely defamed him and Donald Trump sued him and ABC as a result of it. If I were ABC, if I were Bob Barker, I'd cut my losses and say bye bye, you know what Georgie boy, we don't really need you, especially given this new.
New revelation.
According to the latest and greatest of the New York Post, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos was repeatedly warned not to use a certain word when talking about Donald Trump because you see Donald Trump hadn't been convicted of what he suggested he had been convicted of and yet George Stephanopoulos used it anyway.
Think about that
According to the New York Post, they've seen text messages where he was told by his producer, his executive producer, to not use the word rape before going on the air to discuss Donald Trump, but the ABC News anchor ignored the warning, a decision that cost the network $16 million. The Post learned, parent company Disney's capitulation last week in the defamation lawsuit by Trump against ABC News and Tefanopolis shocked media and legal experts.
But the damning revelation could help explain why Masau's CEO Eiger, Bob Iger signed.
Off on this settlement so quickly we're told that he actually personally had to sign off on this.
I, I mean,
This is kind of this is a problem that I want to play for you what he said and think about what you know now.
So the executive producer was like, don't use this word, don't use this word. So it's not like it was an honest mistake.
It wasn't like it slipped.
And he didn't use it just once. It kept coming up. Watch.
So
get judged for it today. I'm asking you a very simple question and I answered it. You're shaming me for my political choices. I'm asking you a question about why you endorse someone who's been found liable for rape. It was not a criminal court. This was, this was a was a civil court, and by the way, she joked about the judgment and what she was going to do with all that money, and I find that offensive. I'm asking you, but as a rape victim who's been shamed.
For years now because of her rape, you're trying to shame me again by asking me that you've repeated that again. I think it's offensive as a woman, I find, I find it offensive. I mean my political choices. I've endorsed the man that I believe is best for our country. It's not Joe Biden. And you looked at the dueling rallies yesterday in Georgia. Lake and Riley's family was with Donald Trump. They weren't with Joe Biden, the same guy yesterday that apologized for calling her killer an illegal who wasn't illegal, and.
You are trying to shame a rape victim. I find it disgusting. I mean, you keep saying I'm shaming you. There you are. The question it is, it is. How is the question asking about a presidential candidate who's you're asking a rape victim and there's no question about that. And you've courageously talked about that because I've been raped. I think that's just no, I'm questioning your political choices because you're supporting you're someone who's been found liable for rape. Actually, I'm not trying to you are. That's exactly you're not answering the question. I think it's disgusting.
Well, you're welcome to say that, but you also have to answer the question. Why are you supporting someone who's been found liable for rape? I just answered your question. What is the answer? He was not, he was not found guilty in a civil, in a criminal court of law. It was a civil, it was sexual abuse. It wasn't actually rape, by the way, and Eugene Carroll joked about all the money she's going to get and made a mockery out of, out of this case, and I think that's offensive. There's a reason why women don't come forward. And when you have someone who says that they're rape and they make a mockery.
Out of this civil court judgment, it's offensive to other women. It makes it harder for other women to come forward when another woman has made a mockery of it. You said women don't come forward because they are afraid. They are afraid they judged and you're trying to shame me this morning. They are afraid to come forward, as you said, because they are defamed by those who commit the rape. That's what Donald Trump has been guilty of doing. He defended himself over that and denies that it ever happened, but he was not found guilty in a criminal court of law.
You know we should go like ding ding ding every time Georgie boy says that.
Remember, he was told by his executive producer.
Not to say it.
So he was deliberately insubordinate.
And now he's mad, he's mad exploding over the $16 million settlement. He's mad. Give me a break. This guy is just kind of a jerk, really and truly a jerk. The anchor's frustration with the network couples both the personal and professional strain the episode has taken on him. Oh.
We really feel bad, and it appears to have boiled over as he has since deactivated his ex account, cutting ties with his more than 2.3 million followers. The decision to settle has also left ABC News staffers seething, seething because they can't libel somebody. Good.
You shouldn't be able to libel people. If he wasn't found guilty of that, why are you saying he was Georgie?
And why do you still have a job, Georgie?
I mean it, OK, he was not found liable for that, and yet Georgie went on and did this. I'll tell you, you know what they need to do? They need to fire him.
They need to just cut the cord. Sorry, you know what, we don't really need you.
Of course that place is so insane and they eat up anybody with a decent bit of talent because little George, and I mean he's little like really little, like you know could put him in my pocket.
Little George
Doesn't want any competition.
So they don't have a bench. They're like, well, who do we put in?
Can't be David Muirre. He's more concerned with his hair than anything else. Like I like David, but he's not necessarily deep. So who do you put in? I don't think they have anyone.
But I think they're looking and they gotta start looking really really fast because this guy, forget about it you got reason now you got cause, get rid of him.
And you know what, Bob Iger, maybe that's your solution. Maybe that's your bridge to Elon and to Trump.
Heck, Jeff Bezos is down there last night having dinner at Mar a Lago.
With his
Hot wife, right like in a very skimpy dress, hanging out at Mar a Lago. Mark Zuckerberg went down to Mar a Lago.
And where are you?
With your lawyers, figuring out how you're gonna make the Georgie problem go away.
Well, he did it once. I'll do it again.
So why are you gonna re-sign him? Apparently variety.
Had the same reaction as me, and they published this yesterday saying George Stephanopoulos' future at ABC News is in question after the network settled with Donald Trump.
Well, Georgie didn't like that. ABC didn't like that. So immediately, like within minutes, out came this little article in the LA Times. They said,
George just signed a whole new deal with ABC and he's going to remain with the Good Morning America program.
Which has recently fallen behind NBC's today in the ratings, so they have uh better anchors over on NBC. I'll be honest, like they've tried to do this church and state thing with MSNBC and NBC and so they've kind of tried to keep the Today show anchors away from all this stuff, but Georgie obviously engages in it very directly.
So the interesting thing about this article.
I didn't see them say how long he had signed on for, like, maybe they gave him another 6 months. Maybe that's the deal. Hey, we're gonna give you 6 months and we'll put out a press release saying we just renewed your deal.
And maybe we can help this gossip about you die down. Here's the article. Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos, who is taking fire over Walt Disney Company's decision to settle President-elect Donald Trump's defamation suit against ABC News, isn't going anywhere. The Los Angeles Times writes, Stephanopoulos, 63 years old. Gosh, you know what, he's all set for retirement. He's past the 62 mark and he should have millions by now, right?
Hopefully he invested it well. Recently agreed to a new multiyear contract. OK, I stand corrected multiyear contract to remain with the ABC News morning program according to several people familiar with the matter but could not comment publicly and ABC News rep declined to comment. Here's what I'm gonna tell you though, a lot of those contracts.
They have outs.
And
ABC News may at some point.
Decide to use one of those outs.
They also have
The pay to play class, so they could pay him.
To just go away and sit on the sidelines and then they protect themselves from him going to another network, etc. that happens a lot.
In television news.
They pay you, but you have to stay quiet.
And you can't go anywhere else.
Or do anything else. So it's entirely possible that they were very clever about how they did this. If I were Bob Iger, I'd be really annoyed.
Especially learning that this guy Georgie was told repeatedly that you're not supposed to do this, but clearly the inmates are running the asylum over there at ABC News. Just watch The View any day of the week, and it's quite a given reminder Christmas is coming up, but you may miss the Christmas deadline, but.
Hey, you can toast the new year with your live free or die mug or one of our great patriotic hats. Go over to the Trish Regan shop, Trish Reagan do shop today, Trish Regan doop. S H O P R E G A N. You know, you know. OK. Donald Trump.
Is making it his first priority to seal the border shut.
And Tom Holman is the guy who's gonna be the enforcer here and let me just say Tom Holman does not mess around, remember this?
First of all, your comments are disgusting. I've served my country I've served my country 34 years. I find this is out of control. I've served my country for 34 years, and yes, I held a 5 year old boy in my arms that in fact that tractor trailer. I knelt down beside him and said a prayer for him because I knew what his last 30 minutes of his life were like and I had a 5 year old son at the time. What I've been trying to do my 34 years serving my nation is to save lives.
So for you to sit there and insult my integrity and my love for my country and for the and for children, that's why this whole thing needs to be fixed.
And you're the member. We agree on that. Fix it. We agree on that, but I disagree. But I also disagree with your characterization of decades. Look, you want to know why there's 50,000 people in detention. You want to know why we have 1 million illegal entries in the United States. You want to have these issues because you have failed to secure the border. You have failed to work with this president to close the three loopholes. We've asked for 2.
to close. So if you want to know why this issue exists, you need to look in the mirror. You need you have failed American people who are not securing the border and closing loopholes. Mr. Holman, please respect the chair and the authority of the chair. The time of the gentleman has expired. I've asked you politely to let me go beyond my time and you let other people go beyond their time, but not to Tom Holman. He's gonna get me to go beyond his time.
We have approved an agreement between the Republicans and the Democrats with the ranking member. We increased the time of one witness at one, member of Congress who was interrupted by a protest that is done with the approval of the ranking member. Please respect the chair's authority. The I respect the chair's authority, but the chair. Holman, you work for me. I'm a taxpayer.
I'm a taxpayer. You work for me.
So the recommendation of the many that you recommended, you recommended family separation. I recommend a zero tolerance, which includes family separation, the same as is when every US citizen parent gets arrested when they're with a child.
Zero tolerance was interpreted as the policy that separated children from their. If I get arrested for DUI and I have a young child in a car, I'm gonna be separated. When I was a police officer in New York and I arrested a father for domestic violence, I separated that Mr. Holman, with all due respect.
Legal asylees are not charged with any crime.
When you're in the country illegally, it's violation 8 United States Code 1325. Seeking asylum is legal. If you want to seek asylum, you go through the port of entry, do it the legal way.
The Attorney General of the United States has made that clear.
Wow, OK, so this is the guy in charge of the border.
I mean, he, he's not messing around. I've known him a long time. He's been on this show, he's been on my, my shows over the years and he's really serious about this. He's very committed to this. He was on CNN last night talking about his plans, what he intends to do on day one. Well, look, we, um, I'm looking at, you know, the, the number of uh people that were released in the United States by this administration. I'm, I'm looking at how many of, of uh aliens have been already, already deported by the immigration court.
How many are are out on ATD that have orders, how many are currently in detention that have orders, and looking at what the the level, the time level of some of the hearings are going to be in certain jurisdictions of the country. How many criminals you know there's 7 over 700,000 illegal answer criminal convictions on the streets of this country, so they'll of course be a priority. So I'm looking at.
different data sets to figure out where and when and how we're going to do this. So how many days after Trump is sworn in before this effort to carry out the mass deportations begins? I know you said it starts on day one, but after how many days will we actually start to see that happening?
Day one day one will be ICE officers across the country will be out on the streets. The right out of the gate president has made it clear, and I made it clear the priority right out of the gate is public safety threats and national security threats, and there's plenty of them to find, right? I looked at the data under the Biden administration.
The deportation of criminal aliens have decreased 74%, so we have all those folks that the Biden administration failed to deport plus you get this 10/10 million accountants on the southern border that they came across. We got a lot of them look forward too, so that the public safety threats are plenty and it's going to keep us busy.
I think the estimates are somewhere around 700,000 nationwide known criminals that are here illegally and yet the amazing thing is, right, the Democrats thought they could ride this one all the way to the White House and it turned out that key voting block that key group Hispanics.
They voted
More than they've ever voted for a Republican in the past they've voted for Donald Trump, so go figure it turns out Hispanics who are here legally and can vote they don't really want the illegal migrants coming across the border and wreaking havoc in their communities, etc. either.
I sat down moments ago with Mary Thomas from Job Creators Network. Mary actually ran the ground game there at Job Creators Network to get the voter, the registration, get the vote out for Hispanics all across the country, and I talked to her about this because this is a very important voting block and Trump got it right. She and her team went door to door. They got it right, so how do we keep getting it right? Here, take a listen.
I'm joined by Mary Thomas from Job Creators Network. Mary, it is good to see you.
Good to see you too, Trish. Merry Christmas. Happy holidays. Uh wow, I'm looking at the numbers here. Walk us through it. This is a massive increase for Donald Trump with Hispanics. In other words, I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, the Republican Party has ever seen numbers like this for a candidate from the Hispanic population.
No, I mean this is really, it was history. Donald Trump made history. He got the most, uh, the largest percentage of the Hispanic vote of any Republican presidential candidate ever. He had a 14 point increase from 2020 to 2024, so about 46% of the Hispanic vote.
It's almost half, huge, huge. I mean, so it shows you, you know, this is, this is a group of people and I hate to lump people into groups, right, because I think that's actually something that Trump did beautifully. He didn't lump them into groups. He realized everybody had the exact same concerns inflation, safety, etc. but this is a group that's very much, I think, up for the takes. I, I don't know how.
How I don't know how the Democrats at this point hold on to them, but before we get there, tell me about what you did because I know you had personal involvement at Job Creators Network. You guys were like all over this. You recognize this opportunity from the beginning. How is it that you on the ground were able to affect the turnout in this election cycle for Hispanics?
Yeah, so we knew that looking at the data, the Hispanic population in battleground states would be the deciding factor in this election. And we also knew that in our 20 plus years in the conservative movement, our side has
To actually get the Hispanic vote out so we had to do something different so we actually did a lot of what you know, President Trump did followed his lead we went out to the communities we actually listened to people we treated everyone like an American but we went to their communities, we talked to them, heard their concerns, and then we basically trained their community leaders, pastors.
And small business owners to help get the message out and help encourage people to get out to vote and to vote their values. It's one of the things that I love about what you guys do and what I think actually makes you really unique is that you're a national organization, but you're very, very grassroots in your efforts and I encourage people, by the way, go to Job Creators Network if you want to get involved, if you want to volunteer, if you wanna sign up, if you want to help them with the donation year end, anything that you can do, they
Actually work with community leaders and they help train community leaders to get well to to help take our country back frankly I mean you you guys are really just out there knocking on doors and doing the grassroots effort which Mary I think is gonna become increasingly important because we want in this new in this new era to restore a lot of the power to the communities, to the states and to the people.
Yes, the, you know, the power is the best and when it's in the hands of the people we truly believe that and so we should be making our decisions like parents should make, be making decisions for their own children. That was a big issue with the Hispanic community. We have to allow, you know, it should be we the people, right, not the elitists up in DC who are directing our government.
For sure, um, speak to me about that specifically and how you think that resonated with the Hispanic population given the sort of family centric nature of Hispanics who are here and here legally I can't imagine you know that they were OK with a lot of the top down stuff isn't that what they were trying to flee?
Yes, exactly. They were trying to flee that, they were trying to flee socialism, um, basically, government control over everything that we do. They wanted to come to America for freedom and the opportunity to achieve the American dream.
And they saw, you know, under uh Biden, under Harris, or that ability to achieve the American dream was really gone. They were working 234 jobs, their children were being indoctrinated and attacked in schools, um, told that, you know, we shouldn't be proud of.
Our country we're proud of America and so it was really fundamentally against everything that they believe in and everything that they came to this country to that they were escaping from our country was turning into. OK, so going forward, it's an important, important voting block.
How does Trump keep them? I mean, I think you know the economy is gonna have a lot to do with the border is gonna have a lot to do with it while simultaneously putting forward his whole border plan because a lot of people on the left take that and say uh this is anti-Hispanic it's not really, but it could be interpreted as that how do you in terms of what you're doing with all the, you know, knocking on doors in the grassroots level, how do you make sure that you cultivate and and keep this group?
Yeah, so when we're talking about immigration, I mean when we were talking on the ground to people, Hispanics were very, very supportive of stopping illegal immigration. They came to this country, most of them legally, and they believe in giving everyone equal opportunity and achieving the American dream and having safe communities. But we need to do just like you said, the Hispanic vote is growing.
We have to conservatives if we want to continue to protect freedom in our country we have to grow our support within the Hispanic community they're the largest and fastest growing ethnic group in the nation so we have to go out just as we did and genuinely engage develop relationships with people, um, and really, you know, bring our message of free.
Because when they hear our message, when they see us, they know that their values align with ours. It's amazing because they kept trying to paint Trump as a racist, as a bigot, as a sexist maniac, right? And at the end of the day, what you actually saw is he's got the biggest tent of all, the Republican Party has never seen such a big tent.
Absolutely, because he's an ordinary American, like even though, you know, he obviously made a lot of money and had wonderful successful businesses, he knows how to interact and how just, you know, to act with everyone, right? From no matter what, like if it's a lawyer, a doctor, any, any type of person, um, garbage truck driver, everyone is an American and we all have the same dreams and we all believe in.
You know, protecting freedom and protecting our country. It's amazing. It's like so simple. Um, and yet it's so evasive, right? For the elite who, frankly, in my estimation, kind of looked their nose down on a lot of working class Americans, and they're up here and they're better than that. And Trump's like, you're you, right? I don't care if you haul garbage, you should be proud of that. I don't care if you are, it's it's Elon Musk, right? Like it's just a very, um.
It's a very different philosophy than we've seen from a lot of traditional Republicans and a lot of traditional what has become the Democrat Party. So when it gets back to again courting this group, how powerful if if things go right and I know you're a big part of that and Job Creators Network is a big part of it so again everybody if you're watching this, go check them out on Job Creators Network, see how you can get involved in your local community.
How you can contribute in any way whether it's just you yourself and and and labor getting out there joining Mary knocking on doors or whether it's a a gift at year end tax deduction. Take a look at job creators network, but how do you guys grow this and what do you think it could really grow to if you say what was it? 46% of the Hispanic vote that he got a 14% increase from 2020, what could it be?
Oh, I think we can definitely exceed 50%. I mean we can go, you know, maybe even get 75% or above because again if we go out and we talk to people and we tell them the truth, then there's no combating that really there is their values, the Hispanic community's values aligned.
With ours 1.5 million new Hispanic voters every single year. This is the thing that the Republican Party really should be focused on. This is what is going to win us the elections and uh it's a, it's a natural fit, you know. It, it, it is, no, it's, it's terrific that you guys are doing it.
I, I'm so excited for you. Congratulations on everything. Again, Job Creators Network.com. Mary, good to see you. Merry Christmas. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas.

Have you been watching the markets? That was something yesterday, was it not? Of course I was buying in the last 15 minutes or so, you know, it kind of caught me by surprise. I think people really reacted negatively to what the Fed was saying, Jerome Powell.
Kind of freaking people out because he said hey you know what, and this is what's funny about it hey we we don't need so many interest rate cuts anymore because the economy is increasingly now on stable footing. Well, the markets kind of panicked because you're very addicted to that sugar. hey, I think it's good because we need a chance actually having real growth and that real growth is gonna come from the right kinds of policies.
Right, you don't want both fiscal and monetary stimulus happening together because then you get inflation. In fact, Jerome Powell did Biden no favors because Biden's out there with Congress pushing this multi-trillion dollar package through simultaneously giving the third stimmy all while Jerome Powell's printing money. Well, that was just a recipe.
for disaster that was a recipe for mass inflation. Now we're in a situation where yes they still cut again. I'm like really again because I can feel the animal spirits. I can feel the excitement in the markets. You look at the internals of the market and what it's been telling you all along ever since the election and actually prior to the election one Donald Trump was gonna win and two.
That people were really excited about the policy that would be resulting from a Donald Trump win and so that was evident that was clear. I almost think that the Fed didn't need to be there with lower rates, lower rates, but they were there again another quarter point cut just yesterday and they get two more cuts on the way in the year 2025. Well, the market's like, oh, you know, it's not enough. I'm like, guys, get over it. It's totally enough. You're gonna be fine, right, because there's a lot going on that's really good. We're on the cusp.

He's very dear friend of mine, longtime friend who's a brilliant stock picker, and we've just had really wonderful success. Of course it's hard to go wrong in this environment, but here's the good news we beat the S&P and that my friends is hard to do.
It is good to have you here. I mean, what a day, right? Fannie Willis? I told you this would happen. I told you it would happen. Sure enough on appeal. Now we just gotta get Leticia and then we can really be thrilled that we wiped all this away. But then you still have some heavy lifting to do because you gotta make sure that this stuff doesn't happen again, right? You need some, some warning signs out there, some examples.
Disbarment for sure for Leticia for Fanny, Alvin Bragg, I'd argue he needs to be disbarred as well. At least Jack Smith had enough common sense to hightail it out of Washington DC.
More on that coming up tomorrow. Good to have you here. Thank you for joining me live, see so many familiar faces, new ones as well. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell so you know when I'm live and I'll see you tomorrow.
