lachlan murdoch versus rupert murdoch, is there any difference, any directional change? newspaper man. he believes he's a journalist at heart, and he detests donald trump. as a murdoch family friend said to me, he can't believe we're going to end up with trump as the nominee again. then again, he doesn't seem to be doing much to stop it. lachlan cares a lot less about politics. i'm told he's personally not a fan of trump. he holds his nose like a lot of republican establishment party types but he's not doing anything to stop the trump train. he cares about campaign ad spending than he cares about polling and things like that. so ultimately, you're not going to see lachlan or rupert do anything really to stop this coronation of trump, even though, by the way, trump complains about fox all the time. he says fox is out to get him, but that couldn't be further from the truth. >> let me play a montage about the way fox sounds now post tucker. >> what does that leave you with? it leaves you with you need to make war to bring peace, because you have a side that cannot change be

i remember when rupert murdoch had to give an extraordinary written promise that he would not interfereke right now, and no one believes that's still true. all i can tell you is that we are absolutely committed to the legally binding commitments that we've made to the uk government. i think breaking commitments you make to the government is not something that someone of upstanding position does. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. the weather has caused a lot of disruption over the past few days with relentless heavy rain — still lots of flood warnings in force. the weather is going to be improving over the next few days, it's going to turn drier and colder, but it will take several days for those floodwaters to fully recede. so the satellite image shows this curl of cloud that brought all the wet weather yesterday and overnight, too. it's clearing gradually towards the east now, so low pressure starting to move away from eastern england. still this area of low pressure close to the north east of scotland — so not completely dry out there today. more rain for

rupert murdoch deemed him the future. so he had everything. but what ended up happening is he overplayed's confidence in his arrogance, coming out of florida with his perfect politics and its culture wars. so i think all three, ali, gotcha, michael, he also ran on the reality that he is contesting donald trump and the party didn't want to move on from donald trump. and in many ways, we might remember this entire primary, all the candidates, as the primary that never was. because once donald trump said to maga i'm your guy again, we agreed, he was their guy again. and i think the telling thing here is i think this entire race is now over. i mean, obviously we're watching nikki haley, the numbers aren't great. but where ron desantis was 42 points in new hampshire, 52 behind in south carolina, 65 behind in nevada, nikki haley herself as 40 points behind in the head to head in her home state. and so the tell is that this is over is i think ron desantis has position himself as the off ramp. he was what mark voters would have wanted if they don't wa

record for gubernatorial win in a swing state, 150 -- -- leading donald trump in early polls, rupert murdochdeemed him the future. he had everything but what ended up happening is he overplayed his confidence, his arrogance coming out of florida with his covid politics, this culture war. as all three, hallie, dasha, and michael have pointed out, he ran into the reality that he was contesting donald trump and the party did not want to move on from donald trump. in many ways we remember this entire primary, all the candidates as the primary that never was. once donald trump said to maga, amir guy again, they agreed he was their guy again. the telling thing here is we'll, this entire -- we watch nikki haley, the numbers aren't great. where ron desantis was 43 -- 52 behind in south carolina, 65 behind in a battle, nick haley is 40 points behind and i had to had in her home state. where the talent is that this is over, ron desantis positioned himself as the off ramp. he was what maga voters would've wanted if they didn't have we'll trump. nikki haley possession to us off as the alternative, they

so the lots that your recognize the deep cheese rupert the murdochs of succession from the trumps you know the stewarts the tudors you know many are the ottomans, the mughals the ming dynasty and so on but there are lots that you won't know about and many them all families that aren't ruling dynasties. because i follow samuel johnson's saying, you know, that every every kingdom is like a family and every family is like a little kingdom. and so which is a lovely quote i quoted at the beginning and. so there are hereditary. there are families that we follow through that are doctors and, novelists and historians and composers moses and soldiers and executioners and there are enslaved families. so all of them are in here and everywhere. i use family as a tether to cover the great subjects of history. do you think i as one follow up on the question i don't think you just directly the book but why should you is that the breaking of families has been a kind of conscious strategy is much too antiseptic a word the kind of conscious tactic of brutality. i mean one sees that the moment, you know

the contest here is that because of that defamation them trump could go on fox news and say rupert murdoch was on the epstein list on live television. that's not true, by the way, to be clear, but he could say that. there are hundred things he could say that would be like per se defamatory because he's donald trump. and they have already paid to send 100 and $50 million for defamation. so just at a basic financial level, putting the guy on live tv is just dangerous. >> it is. it's reckless and irresponsible and it's gonna be the new normal. it's what we saw last night. at least one trump was in 16 in entering his presidency, there was a back and forth. sometimes you couldn't tell who was leading who. right now fox is an organ of trump. so there is no more confusion about which direction it's being polled, who is steering the ship. it's totally now a full appendage of trump. what's scary about that is that trump is increasingly organizing power on the extremes and what would be considered the fringes. fox news will become an accelerant for normalizing all kinds of extreme ideas that even th

this summer when bjorn lomborg published denying editorial pages of the wall street journal, the murdoch owned wall street journal. i'll just say that because the there is a global empire, news corp empire that has sort of almost single promoted this sort of misinformation and disinformation. the world, including united states. so they regularly publish this informative pieces by people like bjorn lomborg. in this summary wrote a piece saying, oh, well you know, these wildfires have nothing to do with global warming. they did publish my letter to the editor. i even managed to sneak in the title of my book came on. they let me get away with that and and i quoted because you only get about 100 words bjorn you know, 700 words if you're lucky. if they give you 100 words, i simply quoted piece that had appeared a week earlier on the news pages, the wall street journal, because their news is actually quite objective. it's straight up news reporting. and so i just quoted the title of an article that basically you know unpleasant warming leading to massive wildfires and it contradict it the titl

rupert murdoch teamed him the future, so he had everything.hat ended up happening was he overplayed his confidence, and his arrogance, coming out of florida with his covid politics and culture wars. i think it is all three of your panelists have pointed out, he also ran into the reality that he is congesting donald trump in a party that did not want to move on from donald trump. in many ways we might need to remember this entire primary, as the primary that never was. because once donald trump said to mueller on your guy again, they agreed he is the guy again. i think the telling thing is the entire race is -- obviously we're watching nikki haley, the numbers are not great, ron desantis was 43 points behind -- nikki haley's 40 points in a head to head and her home state. so where the tell is, that this is over, i think ron desantis positioned himself as the off ramp. he was what modern voters would've wanted if they didn't want trump. nikki haley has positioned herself as the alternative. they do not want an alternative. it might be good enoug

we even learn from the dominion voting systems defamation lawsuit that rupert murdoch reportedly tolduote, make trump a non-person after january the 6th. and after there were the hundreds of millions of dollars conservative donors contributed to the ron desantis and, you know, rick scott, and vivek ramaswamy, and nikki haley prary campaigns in the hopes that they would emerge as the front runners. but thtruth is it was too little too late. on, tuesday trump posted to a double digit triumph in new hampshire making him the only non incumbent republican candidate in modern political history to win both iowa and new hampshire. that dominant performance was only the first manifestation of trump reasserting his vise-like grip over gop voters and lawmakers this week. for months now, a bipartisan group of senators working -- have been working on a deal described as a once in a generation opportunity for conservative border security bill. in fact, in recent days, the hinted that they are very close tohis landmark compromise. or at least, they were, until donald trump picked up hi phone and rea

sorry, rupert murdoch. you are not really retired yet. reservation dogs should have been in the running, that's not my opinion. for best comedy, it's going to be the bear. it should be the bear. it is a fantastic show. it really, next time you go to get a bite eat in chicago, you might want to think about it. again, jury duty, which was from amazon, which was a reality tv show that turned out to not be a reality tv show. it could sneak again. >> the one denim curious about is this new. and let me make sure i get the name. right best in a matiko box office achievement category. does that award essentially give it to the person who, in the film that raked in the most money, and if so, it doesn't actly feel like a nail-biter. does it require votes? >> this is the golden globes going back their legacy. we want big stars. aka, we want taylor swift in the room. taylor swift raises the vote for the nfl, for everybody else. taylor swift's concert film, the eras tour, is going to win this. taylor swift is going to get up and give a speech, in the

the version of trump seemingly designed by lachlan murdoch to be palatable enough to be put on life tvop the veil long enough to remind people of color and women exactly who he is. he vowed to create the largest deportation effort in history if he's elected president again. and he bragged about the work of his right-wing supreme court. >> for 54 years they were trying to get roe v. wade terminated, and i did it. and i'm proud to have done it. we did it, and we did something that was a miracle. >> trump followed that line about the miracle with a lie about killing babies after birth, which is not a real thing, ever. that also got no pushback from the fox anchors, of course. meanwhile, the two republicans trying to remain relevant in the race spent the night going of not the arsonist atop the republican field, but rather at each other, which our producers have helpfully summarized for you as follows. >> we don't need another mealy-mouth politician who just tells you what she thinks you want to hear. >> but every time he lies, drake university, don't turn this into a drinking game because
