good to be with you, i'm

katy tur. can dominion win? new court documents are providing even more evidence that fox news hosts and executives knew the election was fair, knew the allegations of fraud were bogus, and that those pushing them were, quote, lying, and yet, pushed those lies anyway. it's remarkable how weak ratings make good journalists do bad things. former fox news managing editor and vice president bill salmon said the network pushed the false claims. maybe sean and laura went too far, rupert murdoch said of handy and ingraham, the day after joe biden's inauguration. it's been suggested that fox's prime time hosts should say something like the election is over and joe biden won said fox president suzanne scott to rupert murdoch. he replied that a version of this would go a long way to stop the trump myth that the election was stolen.

all of these quotes show that what fox knew and said privately was a 180 from what the network was telling its audience, but does it clear the bar for defamation? is it malicious? we have the best guest out there, period, on the issue of what the first amendment covers and what it does not, legendary lawyer floyd abrams joins us in a moment. we also have still more fallout from another fox news decision. tucker carlson aired more january 6th footage last night claiming, again, it was a mostly peaceful event. bipartisan lawmakers at least in the senate are calling it bs saying they personally remember how bad january 6th was, how scary and threatening, which was raising more questions about why exactly kevin mccarthy thought it was a good idea to give carlson all that footage. was it a part of the deal to become speaker? jake sherman from punch bowl will help us answer that question because the timing is interesting. carlson's decision to start

airing selective clips of footage comes right as dominion is revealing some of the most damaging text messages that carlson sent about donald trump in the days before january 6th. we are very, very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. i truly can't wait, carlson texted an unknown person. what he's good at is destroying things. he's the undisputed world champion of that. he could easily destroy us if we play it wrong. i hate him passionately. i can't handle much more of this, and in a text to his producer on the day of the riots, he's a demonic force, a destroyer, but he's not going to destroy us. i've been thinking about this every day for four years. joining me now is nbc news digital senior "politico" reporter james tim and founding partner and senior correspondent, formerly an msnbc guy himself, dylan byers.

all right, guys, jane, this filing, these filings that we've seen with all of these text messages, these emails, these communications are, yes, one sided. they are dominion filings, there's a lot of redactions that fox made and fox says all this stuff is cherry picked and it's taken out of context but my question to you, if you put the context back in that fox says was taken out, how does that make any of these quotes better? >> you know, the defense might have worked slightly better if we were talking about week ago when we were looking at just these excerpts but what came out last night deep into the night was the context, the full emails except for the places where, of course, the redactions were. and as one person put it to me f we're talking about cherry picking here, we're looking at a chary harvest. there's a lot to work with. these are thousands of pages of documents, and it just feels like they keep getting worse as you read. >> and you get a lot of detail about what they were saying

privately. dylan, you're a media reporter. how damaging is this for fox? i know it could be potentially financially damaging, but reputationally, is it damaging? >> there's the legal case here, and perhaps that should be left to legal experts, though i certainly do think the more evidence that comes forward i think the better position dominion is in to win its case. my guess is the damages will be significantly less. i do think they're on stronger footage. the reputational damage is in a way far more significant. there are a lot of people, many of your viewers perhaps, certainly people outside of the fox news orbit who had sort of already come to the conclusion about what fox news was, that it had long ago abandoned news and to the degree that it still used news it did so in the service of a sort of very anti-liberal,

pro-conservative opinionation machine, it has no qualms about, is quite unapologetic about. i think having so many contemporaneous evidence to show the myriad ways that is actually the case, i do think does damage to fox's reputation. now, does it matter if -- you know, if fox news viewers sort of don't want to hear it or don't care about it, or don't even believe it's real, i don't know. but then you take something like tucker carlson's special this week that has angered senate republicans, senator majority leader mitch mcconnell and others, how fox news navigates this particularly fractious moment in american conservatism. >> what about tucker carlson in particular? because so much of that audience is very loyal to donald trump, and you have these exchanges that tucker had with his producer and other people saying

how much he hates donald trump, and we'll put the quotes back on the screen. i hate him personally. i can't handle much more of this. we're very close to being able to ignore donald trump most nights. he's a demonic force, a destroyer. all of that stuff, is that going to harm tucker carlson in particular? is that why we're seeing this january 6th stuff come out at the same time? >> look, in terms of tucker carlson, i think there's a recent "new york times" piece on this a few months ago, which i think highlighted the ways in which tucker has sort of emerged as a force that has his own following beyond trump, and i think that his -- look, his willingness to simultaneously say what he says about trump off air and then being in many ways far more supportive on air, i think it highlights a problem that is clearly endemic at fox news, which is their willingness to chase ratings and revenue despite what they might actually

believe about some of the stuff they're platforming on their network. but i actually find tucker specifically -- and i wouldn't necessarily apply this to laura ingraham or sean hannity on the network, i find tucker carlson specifically to be someone who has sort of created his own aura and his own myth that is not necessarily exclusively dependent on trump, and one that i think will probably outlast trump so long as he remains at fox news. >> what about in these filings, there are a lot of redactions i mentioned a moment ago. are we going to see the redactions? >> dominion's challenged them. they said these aren't merited redactions. redactions were personal information. investments that kind of stuff you expect to be redacted. there are whole pages. i think we could see the judge soon change that. >> jane tim, dylan byers, thank you very much for starting us

off. joining me now is floyd abrams, senior counsel at the cahill gordon law firm. i know you've said there's a high bar to prove defamation hear. you've also said it's an unusual case because of all the evidence we've been seeing these emails, these texts, these communications. it rarely comes up in a case like this. talk to me about what it's been like to see this accumulating it seems mountain of evidence against fox for what they said behind the scenes and what they were saying on air. >> it's really very unusual. i mean, there have been a lot of libel cases and a lot of libel cases since the law changed very much in favor of the press in 1965 and for the years thereafter. but i can't think of one in which the party's suing discover

found more embarrassing and significant information in the files of the entity that they're suing. that is unusual, and what's really unusual is how telling, dangerous a lot of these things are. i mean, for example, the cases after all about that which fox said or carried about this particular company, dominion. dominion is saying what fox said about us is that we're corrupt. we purposely made election machines that were fraudulent, and that is in good part what fox communicated through a lot of people who they had on the air and what we're finding, what we're seeing in these documents,

you know, some of them only partially disclosed, but we certainly seem to be seeing a good deal of what plaintiffs' lawyers, the party suing looks for most. can they prove that fox didn't just say bad things about them and not just that it's untrue, but that fox knew it or suspected it, and again and again, there just seemed to be an enormous amount of documentary support for the proposition that this was not some casual error, it was not, you know, the things that sort of happen in big companies where you lose a page here and there. it appears to be a deliberate effort to frame the company that

is suing to say without support and sometimes in the face of pretty good proof that it's not true, that dominion did all these bad things, and that's what makes it so really tough for fox in this case. >> and dominion's trying to say, hey, listen, there was a financial incentive for them to do that, and it's laid out in all of these communications talking about ratings. given all that we have seen so far, do you expect that this will actually go to trial, or do you expect fox news -- i mean, they might have been doing this already, but do you expect it to come to light that fox news is going to try to settle this case? >> i think it would be -- i think it would be almost a violation of the corporate responsibilities of rupert murdoch and his colleagues if they didn't try to settle this

case. now, as you quite rightly suggested a moment ago, you know, maybe this is not a billion dollar case. you know, i can tell you lawyers use some pretty big numbers sometimes that are not always supportable, but there just doesn't seem to be any doubt that fox said a lot of things about this company, which were awful things they said, which were not true and for libel may be even more important that they knew or at least were not just on notice but had every reason to know were not true. and that's -- that's a tough case for the party that's being sued to deal with. >> beyond the money, is there something else that fox might be told it has to do to make up for this? maybe going on air is and saying

we lied and doing it for not just, you know, a one-off, but doing it consistently over a period of times and over the breath of their broadcast or saying, you know, running ads for dominion, is there something beyond the money that fox can be forced to do as a consequence of these lies if they're found guilty? >> it is a -- i can understand why dominion would want it and understand and share the notion that that's what they're entitled to as a morality -- as a matter of fairness if they win the case. it's hard as a legal matter to require a company to say the sort of things about itself that dominion needs or certainly is going to say it needs to be said

by fox. it raises sort of an additional first amendment issue when you're saying to a company you have to say this. now, that -- this case is so unusual that that just might be part of the relief that they obtained, that dominion obtains if they try and win the case. it also might be if the case is settled part of the settlement. this is the sort of thing that parties when they settle talk about, and it's conceivable. >> legendary first amendment -- go ahead. >> it's really -- no, on the first amendment side, you know, the more you tell a news organization what they have to say, the more you're moving into first amendment land. >> but can you call them a news organization given what you've

seen in these revealed messages? i mean, does the label of news organization still apply or is there a standard there that needs to be met? >> i've seen enough but maybe there's a lot that you and i and other people haven't yet seen, but i've seen a lot to certainly strongly suggest that -- well, what has occurred here is beyond unprofessional, not poor journalism but corrupt journalism. now, whether in that sort of situation if that were to be the ruling of a court, say, there can be more demanded of fox in some sort of court order is once again in this case rather new

territory. i mean, it's not that nothing like this has ever happened in a libel suit somewhere about something, but this libel suit involving something of national significance, i mean, what fox news says, what it does, how it behaves, how it comports itself when it lies, these are matters affecting the national interest as well as the interests of the parties to this case. >> and there are still millions upon millions of people who still believe falsely that the election was stolen. after all, there was also an insurrection on january 6th, which we're going talk about again in a moment in just a few seconds, actually. legendary first amendment lawyer floyd abrams, thank you very much for joining us today. appreciate all of your insight, and a lot of other avenues we can go down in this conversation. we'll have to save them for another day. what speaker mccarthy thinks

joining me now is ryan reilly, and punch bowl news cofounder jake sherman. kevin mccarthy was asked whether he gave the footage to tucker carlson as part of a deal to become speaker. he said no. i'm going to ask you, was this a part of maybe an unspoken deal to become speaker? >> maybe not an explicit deal, katy, but implicit for sure. mccarthy said he wanted to release the tapes. now, he was asked that during the general time of the speaker's race. i don't think -- i don't think there was any agreement that said you need to release this to tucker carlson. i don't think that was part of it. the way it's been told to me based on my sources is that carlson was asking for it, and mccarthy knew he had to release it, and he released it to carlson. so i think that was the general -- the general order of events, and by the way, it's unprecedented, i would probably say is the right word to give

41,000 hours of footage to, you know, one news outlet. i think mccarthy has said in the past, well, you know, the committee gave stuff to cnn, to nbc, to the january 6th committee. i don't think that's analogous. they gave them the footage. they allowed them to review the footage in a room here on capitol hill, and then they ran their piece a couple of nights ago. so i think that's -- that is relatively unprecedented. >> one of the reasons that january 6th happened was because of these lies that were being pushed over and over again, and that's why these lawmakers had their lives in danger because a lie was being pushed, and now we're two years later and that lie is still being pushed, and now other lies are being pushed concurrently to it, that the insurrection itself was just mostly a peaceful protest and that the media is lying about what happened and the government's lying about what happened. are you hearing -- beyond senate

republican who is clearly don't like this, are you hearing anybody in the house on the republican side say maybe we're taking this a little far, and maybe worrying about what this lie is going to amount to later on. >> yeah, we quoted someone in our midday edition today, i think it was don bacon of nebraska who said that this is -- that the way carlson presented this was not -- was not appropriate, and by the way, katy, this isn't a debate. i lived through this, many of us lived through january 6th. we were in the capitol. this was not some sort of light hearted protest. this was an insurrection to stop the vote count of the presidential election, and don't take my word for it. like go look at the court transcripts and the depositions and all of the evidence that's basically in the public record of people kind of -- the people who made that attack, were part of that attack, that's what they said they were doing. you don't have to take my word for it. the interesting thing is, a few interesting thing, mccarthy is

protected by capitol police. capitol police are around him at all times. i just find the whole thing a little bit distasteful to be honest with you, but they seem to have no regret, the mccarthy world. they think this was not as bad as everyone's making it out to be. that's the tucker carlson report, and they think everyone will move on quite shortly, and maybe they're right about that. i have a feeling they're not. >> i mean, a lot of people might move on quickly. there's going to be some circles of the population that won't move on and will keep harboring this. what happens with them later on? remind us again, going back to the insurrection, what has come out of it, how many arrests, how many convictions, how many pleadings of guilty? >> a lot. if you wander a block away from the capitol this week, you can walk into the u.s. district court. there's five or six trials happening this week. you will see mpd officers who were assaulted that day waiting

for their time to testify sitting outside these krooms, and telling jurors who have to look at evidence and examine the facts here and not just listen to tucker carlson's propaganda trying to clean up an awful riot that happened on january 6th, and these guilty verdicts a lot of these defendants have, of course, pleaded guilty on their own because the evidence is so overwhelming, what you're seeing on your screen is brand new footage that was released just yesterday in connection with an ongoing january 6h. he's a buddy of didi rodriguez who drove a stun gun into mike fanone's neck and very nearly killed him. it triggered a heart attack. and the guy on the screen, the guy stuffing things into someone's bag, that's a few minutes after he drove a stun gun into mike fanone's neck and nearly killed him. there he is throwing things out of the bag as you have all of these going through this office

and destroying property. they were bunkered in that office. there's going to be a huge table, there are police on the other side of that door who barricaded that door to make sure that the rioters couldn't get further into capitol after they already went through the tunnel where there were vicious assaults taking place on officers time after time for hours and hours, after they endured tear gas after tear gas after tear gas. you hear the testimony from these officers in court every week. it's happening all the time and then to have some propagandaist go on and say this is all hunky-dory and have them suggest that maybe this qanon shaman, maybe he was -- maybe they got him through a back door and snuck him this way. the thing is there's going to be a lot of people who believe it because of the false editing and

traces, the moral traces that fox news has made. >> well put, jake sherman thank you very much for joining us, gentleman. with me now is msnbc political analyst, michael steele. thanks for being with us. you've got senate republicans saying this is -- a lot of house republicans sharing this on kevin mccarthy, not feeling bad about it, according to shake sherman. what does it mean for the future of the republican party? do we see a future that is more of the senate side of things where they are willing to call something bs? or is it going to be a future where the republican party looks more like the house? >> i think the party in the main looks more like the house. i think you'll have moments where the senate republicans will come to the mic and say a discordant word or two that's in opposition to what you're hearing coming out of the house. but you're not going to have this unified front on matters of

importance, things that matter like this. mccarthy doubles down, triples down on his decision saying, yeah, i gave it to everyone. well, no, you didn't. you didn't give it to everyone. you gave it to one person and one network that's now got a whole week to do the thing that we all know he's going to do, and that is to try to rewrite the story. so it is nice to hear republicans in the senate come out and say something, call it bs, call it disingenuous, calling it dangerous, but until there is a collective effort throughout the party to push back on this and until mccarthy, you know what? that was a mistake. i shouldn't have done that, you're just going to see more of the same in a different form. >> it's not a question of

policy, a question of, you know, believing that lower taxes are better or higher taxes are better or, you know, reforming social security is a good idea. it's not a question of policy and how best to govern this country. this is a question of do you believe the truth or do you believe what is a provable lie? how do you govern when you have a party that's lurching towards believing our elections are not fair and violence isn't actually violence. >> you don't govern. you have the seeds of anarchy. you have the seeds of disruption. remember, trumpism, now magaism told us from the very impinge -- beginning what the playbook is going to be, to deconstruct the administrative state. what did we think that meant? what did we think that would look like? and then four years later, you know, to have 7 million more americans buy into that narrative, and then just two years later when that power was

taken away from the party in '20, to give it back to them in '22. how do you think this story ends when you're giving power to people who are telling you we're going to deconstruct the very thing you believe in, the very foundation of our governing system. that's what we want to do. we embrace putin. we embrace orban, we embrace bolsonaro. those are the men we're holding up and lifting up to the world and to fellow americans and saying this is the kind of leadership we want and support. what do you think it looks like when you give them that power back? why is anyone surprised that the house is functioning the way it is right now? there are more conversations not just here with you, katy, but across networks, regardless of ideological bent that are not talking about public policy and

immigration and education. we're talking about this, and this is the next 18 months of our life, and we'll have a chance to put an end or begin to put an end into it in november, but i bet you there will be some surprises that say we don't do that. >> miss talking about policy. we talk about policy a lot, but it has to take -- take the backseat to existential threats and that is disappointing. >> yeah. >> michael steele always good to have you. there was a fifth friend with the group of friends that were kidnapped in mexico. what happened to him before they crossed the border. first up, what the intelligence community says keeps them up at night, congress is holding its worldwide threat hearings. holding its worldwide hearings

top intelligence officials on what keeps them up at night, and this year one country in particular kept on coming up, and it was china. from covert and overt spying to fentanyl and tiktok, here was fbi director christopher wray's assessment of the most popular app among americans. >> data's the coin of the realm, those whoch the best information have the pow. this is a tool that is ultimately within the control of the chinese government, and it, to me, it screams out with national security concerns. >> joining me now is nbc news pentagon correspondent courtney kube. talk to me about how the intelligence committee feels about one of our -- our biggest trading partner/potentially our biggest foe? >> reporter: yeah, that's right. china was a huge focus today, and it will probably be continuing going forward with more hearings that are coming in the coming days. but one thing that was consistent from previous worldwide threat assessments is that china's continuing to

grow -- attempt to grow and strengthen its global economic, political, and military edge. that's not a surprise, but there were a couple of things that really stood out to me today. one, the intelligence officials there got grilled on a story we've been talking about lately, the potential for some sort of intelligence about the covid origins, that it may have leaked from a lab in wuhan. dni director avril haines was asked about that. she repeated what we've been hearing, that there's not a lot of agreement within the intelligence community about whether that is where covid originated or not. that's one thing that was asked today. another was on tiktok. this is something that impacts americans every single day. senator marco rubio, republican from florida and the top republican on the intelligence committee asked director wray about, that and he said that he -- rubio said he considers this a national security threat, and fbi director wray did not dispute that. in fact, he talked about tiktok and its ability to potentially

be a very powerful influence tool for the chinese government. that's important, katy, because if you have something like a war with taiwan, an app like tiktok, according to director wray, could be used in that manner. there was another thing that stood out to me in the hearing today, that was an exchange with senator angus king of maine where he asked avril haines, the director of national intelligence, dni, asked her about china's efforts with a bunch of things like lithium ion batteries, trying to corner the market on pharmaceuticals, and director avril haines said that china is actually trying to control global supply chains. that is a very big declaration, the fact that china's actually not just trying to take specific markets, again, like pharmaceuticals and batteries and semiconductors, but trying to actually control the global supply chain. those are the kinds of things we heard today specifically about china among other things. >> that's nerve-racking. the annual intelligence threat from the dni, ken dilanian

pulled out something that he said was some of the most explicit language he's seen used. it said beijing has adjusted to all of the negative reaction to it on the national level by redoubling its efforts to build influence at the state and local level to shift u.s. policy in china's favor because beijing believes that local officials are more pliable than their federal counterparts. you see congress bipartisan unity and pushing back on china, how exactly is china going to the state and local officials? what sort of influence are they peddling. >> specifically when we're talking about politics, this is something that came up not only here but also another hearing before the house armed services today with the head of u.s. northern command and u.s. norad saying that china is trying to influence discourse and he brought up things like the china spy balloon saying that that -- when that story like comes in the american public, that both

sides start arguing and it only causes more tensions between the u.s. and china. but specific to the worldwide threat assessment in this, china has been, according to the testimony today, taking a page out of the russian playbook when it comes to trying to influence local elections. so it's everything from, you know with taiwan wanting to influence things, wanting to influence the american public if there is a case like that, but also the concern in china that they need to have influence over these local political leaders and over the american people so that it helps their market standing globally. again, trying to grow and strengthen their global economic picture. >> courtney kube, thank you for all that. coming up, nearly three years after the death of breonna taylor, the doj revealed the results of an investigation into the louisville p.d. what its investigation found. first, what new video reveals about that ill-fated trip that a group of childhood friends took to mexico. what happened right before they crossed the border?

nbc news has just learned that there was a fifth friend who traveled with the group of americans kidnapped just over the border in mexico, according to one law enforcement official. we don't yet know the identity of that person, but the official tells us that person did not cross the border because they didn't have the proper documents. joining me now from myrtle beach, south carolina, is nbc news correspondent gabe

gutierrez, that person is very lucky, gabe. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, katy, and certainly a lot more questions as this investigation continues to unfold, but as you mentioned, a law enforcement official familiar with the matter tells my colleague ken dilanian that there was that fifth person that made the road trip from south carolina towards the u.s. border but got out of the car before the group crossed the border because that person lacked the proper documentation, and we're also seeing new video that was initially posted on facebook live of the inside of that white minivan as it was making its way down to the border. now, we're blurring the face of an apparent fifth person in that vehicle because that person has not been publicly identified, but this video was taken by eric williams. he is one of the american who was kidnapped, he survived. he was shot in the leg, and we understand that he's recovering on u.s. soil right now, but as you can see from the video, it was a jovial atmosphere. we previously heard that this

group of four friends had been childhood friends. they'd known each other for a long time. according to a u.s. official, they were headed down to the border for a medical procedure. certainly now more questions raised about that fifth person and what that fifth person was, you know, doing or, you know, where that person has ended up. we also spoke overnight with a family member of eric williams, his brother robert, who has been anxiously waiting for word about his brother over the last several days. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i was very relieved, i felt sorry for the other family, like you said, but i was relieved to know that he was -- that he was okay and that i'd be able to see him or talk to him again, tell him that i love him, you know. talk to him, lay hands on him a little. >> reporter: mexican authorities are continuing to look for the cartel government believed to be responsible for the abduction,

katy. one person has been arrested and investigators in mexico say he was the one guarding the americans in a wooden shack some 50 miles from meta morose. and in the aftermath of breonna taylor, federal investigators began looking into the louisville police department. now the doj says it did find a pattern of unconstitutional behavior that louisville police consistently used excessive force to conduct searches based on invalid warrants and routinely discriminate against black people in their enforcement of the law writing in part, for years lmpd has practiced an aggressive style of policing that it deploys selectively, especially against black people, but also against vulnerable people throughout the city. lmpd cites people for minor offenses like wide turns and broken taillights, while serious crimes like sexual assault and homicide go unsolved. and up next, what defense

year, including at another deadly raid conducted yesterday on a palestinian refugee camp. joining me now from tel aviv is nbc news foreign correspondent raf sanchez. what is israel saying about all of this? >> reporter: well, katy, israel is saying this raid yesterday was a counterterrorism operation, that they were pursuing a hamas operative responsible for killing two israeli brothers at the end of february. katy, there's a grim irony to secretary austin flying in amid this violence, just a week ago the u.s. government convened a rare face-to-face meeting between israeli and palestinian officials, and the u.s. said that meeting ended with an agreement to deescalate. instead, the bloodshed has only gotten worse. israeli forces taking their hunt for palestinian militants deep into the occupied west bank, killing at least six palestinian men during a raid in a refugee camp in the northern city of janine. >> this is the city inside the refugee camp just a few minutes

after israeli forces left. this crowd is coming down the hill, and they want revenge. >> reporter: israel says it succeeded in killing a hamas operative responsible for gunning down these two israeli brothers last month. prime minister benjamin netanyahu commending his forces saying our brave warriors operated surgically in the heart of the murderer's den, but the palestinian authority condemning the raid as a massacre, and people here mourning the loss of yet more young lives. in washington, fears of an accelerating cycle of violence. >> we remain deeply concerned by the sharp rise in violence in the west bank, and we continue to urge the parties to take immediate steps to prevent the further loss of life. >> reporter: hours before the raid, an israeli settler armed with an ax attacking a palestinian family in their car. sitting terrified inside the vehicle, 27-year-old nurse omar, his wife, elderly parents and

little daughter tia. >> do you believe the person who attacked you will be arrested, will be prosecuted? >> of course not. of course not. >> why? >> who is protecting us? who? which government protects, no one. just talking. no one protecting palestinians. >> reporter: secretary austin was supposed to land here in tel aviv tonight, but that plan has been scuffered by these mass protests we have seen in israel, protesting against benjamin netanyahu's plan to weaken israel's supreme court. the secretary of defense is going to land tomorrow. he will conduct all his meetings at the airport because protesters are planning to block the highways in and out of the airport. >> by all accounts, it's getting very tense across that country. raf, thank you very much. that's going to do it for me today, "deadline white house" is next. te house" is next
