carlson's show monday morning. . that's just soupl of the background when it comes to the situation of yesterday. when it comes to fox news particularly, this is debbie thompson's comment on the facebook page saying we canceled fox nation yesterday. adding that karlsson -- carlson and one of the other hosts were the main shows we watched on fox. we set a line for all others. besides fox news and cnn viewers. david in new york on our line for others, you are next up. caller: good morning, pedro. the more significant event is the firing of tucker carlson. don lemon, his program in the ratings was just not working. i think that was more an economic decision rather than having to do with his behavior. tucker carlson promotes conspiracy theories and is a definite danger to our civic conversation. host: the comments about nikki haley and women being past their prime, you don't think that factored into the decision? caller: i'm sure that factored into the decision. but at the same time the roll out of the new format on cnn

trump tower came and he brough tucker carlson along with him. that combination of timing and tucker's ability to seize on a incredibly freighted incendiary, the kind o rhetoric that fermented, fanned, fueled all of the worst an most dangerous impulses in american political life. that was his power >> it's hard to remember another time when a host, news host, getting fired was a shocking as what happene today. let's figure out exactly how i went down. let's bring in the guy who broke the story on how it went down l. a. times television reporte steve but tallheo. steve, you said this call came straight from the top, top explain. >> it certainly, rupert wa very involved, but he was no alone in this. i said something this mornin about the decision coming from rupert i was told that lachlan murdoc and suzanne scott, the head of fox news was on board with thi as well. and there was no dissent here. they knew that this was problem, they look at abby grossberg, i believe that ther is probably evidence in abby grossberg's lawsuits tha incriminates, or ce

in the wings tucker carlson was not tucke carlson 15 years, ago 20 years ago. he has put on cnn, here's what msnbc at one point, he was a fairly normal mainstream guy >> right fox had a moment all right they had an aha moment whe they realize what tucker was t could make them a lot of money and they are not going to shak that formula, they are going t look for someone who can actually expand upon that. the same way that tucker expanded on what o'reilly wa doing, they want someone t supercharge what tucker wa doing because it made them a lot of money also, it was important t remember that fox has rivals i this space that are willing to go even further to the right if you can imagine that is possible, then them. and tucker will find another spot it is also important t remember that, you know, fox just settle the suit about trump's election lies, which trump is still peddling, and trump will need a home where h can still pedal those lies i this election cycle, and i will probably not be fox because fox will still have to defend against another electio lie lawsuit,

fox news firing controversial host tucker carlson today. a total earthquake that comed amidst the rockiest period in the history of the conservative fox news channel, which of course recently folded in that record breaking $787 million penalty in the case of defaming a voting machine and lying about the 2020 election as well as heat on the company's wider reporting and errors in work place practices. now, carlson is one of fox's most watched and -- until now -- highest paid stars so by all accounts, today's firing surprised him, his own team, and most of his colleagues fox did not allow him a final show the decision and firing clearly came fast. this was his sign off on friday. >> we'll be back on monday in the meantime, have the best weekend with the ones that you love, and we'll see you then >> today is monday, and tucker carlson is not back. so what is happening tonight well, we're going to walk through this with you because it is a huge story, an important story, one that so many people are talking about for so many reasons, well outsid

tucker carlson, some of his ne text came out.ing on his show givin credibility to in the text, he says she is -- a psychopath, a liar, and a la -- and the fox news spokesman sai well, they are cherry-pickin those checks out of context. >> that was bill maher las friday after fox settled wit dominion before the big news today. the separation of fox news and tucker carlson those text, not helpful at all may have added to his demise i'm curious what are your fina thoughts about this huge newsday? >> i disagree with andre sorkin, he is right. tucker carlson leaving, th story here is not a financia story, it's not a business story. it's a culture story, it's a story about politics the question is whether rupert murdoch has the desire to stay out of these courtrooms and no testify, the desire to see republicans be able to win i 2024 we see this footage with desantis, has he finally decided that in total he i done with trump and the bi lie. is this a symbolic moment of change for fox news. we don't know the answer t that question, we do

tucker carlson is their highest rated host. the major change comes days after fox made $787 million to settle the defamation suit from dominion voting systems after false claims over the 2020 election. as part of that suit, carlson's private text messages and communications were made public. some of what he was texting and private was very different from what he was saying to viewers on the air. also tonight, their cable news rival cnn parting ways with anchor don lemon who recently made news with comments about nikki haley saying she, quote, "isn't in her prime" when discussing her run for president. while on fox news, no reason given for tucker carlson's departure tonight. senior investigative reporter aaron katersky leading us off. >> tonight, tucker carlson, the highest rated host on fox news, is no longer with the network. >> we have news from within our fox family. fox news media and tucker carlson have mutually agreed to part ways. >> in a statement, fox news thanked carlson for his service and said his last program was

but, first, tucker carlson, he brings up foreign minister lavrov brings up tucker carlson. you know that state media in moscow hasable to them. what did you make of lavrov bringing that up today? >> i think it undermines how valuable he is to them and how much of a sort of voice he is on russian state media. we saw there from the reporting that we just featured. he is a regular feature of russian state television newscasts, and russian anchors use his views, which are often quite extreme, in some cases, as the views of reasonable america, the reasonable west. and i think one of the reasons that lavrov is so upset that tucker carlson is no longer on the air at the moment, at least, is that he's such a disruptor, and the russians, they back disruptors, they want to disrupt themselves. and, so, this is -- he was doing a lot of the work that the kremlin media would've loved to have done themselves. >> this is being said in america that all of a sudden it gives you, bolsters that. now let me ask you about the exchange that you had with lavrov. we've heard nothing from them. they

both have written extensively about tucker carlson and fox news including carlson's conspiracies at thework. and former senator claire mccaskill is back, lucky for us, all msnbc contributors jeremy peters, i start with you. jeremy, you have the - >> oh. this is -- >> you're speechless, right? >> an extraordinary development. >> it is shocking. look, let's start here instead it is a shocking thing in our world that anybody that we cover and that also covers this moment has been fired it is extra shocking when that person happens to be literally the most-watched person at the most controversial network if you sort of had put it on a bingo card tucker carlson getting fired would be the story we all lead with today i don't think i would have believed you. >> and i wouldn't have believed anyone who told me that either, nicolle. i think the murdochs are not usually ones to make personnel moves that signal contrition after controversies like the one that we've seen engulf their network involving dominion and its billion dollar defamation suit against fox i think when you look at what happened

tucker carlson out at fox news. how the host became a leading voice for the far right and what his departure means for media and the republican party. geoff: foreign governments scramble to evacuate their citizens from sudan as fighting intensifies between the army and paramilitary forces. >> the civilians are bearing the brunt of what these two individuals are are doing right now, which i think is a power struggle just to be in power. amna: and, arkansas' republican lieutenant governor weighs in on the debate over access to abortion medication, now in the hands of the u.s. supreme court. ♪ >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by -- ♪ and with the ongoing support of these individuals and institutions and friends of the newshour including leonard and norma klorfine and koo and patricia yuen. >> it was like an aha moment, this is what i love doing. early stage companies have an energy that energizes me and these are people that are trying to change the world. when i volunteer with women entrepreneur

but none of them can even come close in popularity with carlson.tical authority tucker really asked, he pointed out the direction in international politics. he was like a shepherd, leading the republican party and the conservative media from the bush era of erythro trump. he even influenced trump, he criticized trump when he retreated from the policy of non-intervention. joe biden. however, it got much more, but there were also more reasons for the current president. tucker carlson directly accused of unleashing the conflict in ukraine did not bypass financial fraud. president hunter's son was criticized for economic and migration crises to promote the transgender agenda.

cancel carlson still will not be so.t a disgraced character made a statement on social networks, where he collected many tens of millions of views far ahead of biden's video, where he announces his intention to run for a second presidential term. and now about censorship, no matter how striking the topic is, no doubt an important one that decides our future is a virtually undiscussed war. civil liberties scientific advances demographic change power natural resources corporations, when was the last time you heard an honest discussion. any of these questions have long been true, and that's all, because discussing these topics in the american media is not allowed. it would seem paradoxical, but what is emerging in the united states is that oh, how familiar to the older generation of russians from the soviet experience, a one-party state, both political parties and sponsors. agreed that they profitable, and what not, and now they're in cahoots, to put an end to any talk on these topics. and now the united states suddenly bec

our gary tucker has more on the conspiracy theories that carlson helped to promote. >> tucker carlson is a broadcasting instigator. the 2020 election -- >> the outcome of our presidential election, seized from the hands of voters -- >> the capital insurrection. >> these were not insurrectionists. they were sightseers. >> the former cop, who murdered george floyd. >> i'm kind of more worried about the rest of the country. which, thanks to police inaction, in case you haven't noticed is boarded up -- [laughter] >> and even, regarding the green m&m candy, no longer wearing google boots. >> m&ms will not be satisfied until every last cartoon character is deeply unappealing and totally androgynous. >> 53-year-old, tucker carlson has worked at ca, and the bs and msnbc. but, it was the shock at fox news that made him one of the most powerful voices at the conservative politics. and, a leader of the modern conspiracy movement. carlson told his viewers, this right after the 2020 presidential election. >> what happened last night could not have been worse for this country, for our children, fou

carlson's show on monday morning.hat is some of the background when it comes to the situation of yesterday. when it comes to fox news, this is debbie's comment. "we canceled fox nation yesterday. carlson and one of the other former hosts with the main shows we watched on fox." we set aside a life for all others besides the line for fox news and cnn viewers. david in new york on the line for others. you are next up. caller: good morning, pedro. the more significant event is the firing of tucker carlson. don lemon, his program and the ratings was not working. i think that was more of an economic decision rather than having to do with his behavior. tucker carlson promotes conspiracy theories and is a definite danger to our civic conversation. host: the comments about nikki haley and women being past their prime, you don't think that factored into the decision? caller: i'm sure that factored into the decision. at the same time, the rollout of the new format on cnn morning was a disaster. it is just not the right role for

is this about mr carlson leaving the network?orried about a number of different things. first and foremost, whether the lies that were shared throughout fox news and calling into question the integrity of the us presidential election of 2020 actually damaged the brand to such an extent that the shareholders lost money. there's a case to be made there and one shareholder has already filed a lawsuit in that regard. i think there's also the immediate reaction on wall street to this sort of thing. tucker carlson no longer on the network. he certainly was popular with viewers. the question is, who will be next and how will they build an audience? and then will those shares rebound? so do you think his departure, as well as that dominion settlement, will it affect fox news and other media coverage of the 2024 presidential election? i think there's almost no doubt that it will have some effect on that coverage. i think one of the questions is going to be who remains in competition with fox news? with the discovery that we saw in the dom

— attractive a proposition without tucker carlson? michelle, thanks very much. _ tucker carlson?om | tucker carlson? michelle, thanks - very much, the latest there from new york. you're watching bbc news, more here injust a minute or two, don't go away. hello there. the weather's been quite mixed today. we've seen some heavy, in fact thundery rain across parts of southern england. further north, it's been brighter with sunny spells, scattered showers. some of these have been wintry in nature. tonight, the colder air advances southwards to pretty much all areas, and with light winds and clearing skies, it's going to be a perfect recipe for some frost. so, gardeners and growers, take note. we will continue with the peppering of showers, northern and eastern scotland, north sea coasts of england. and again, they will have a wintry element to them. you can see widespread blue colours indicating a widespread rural frost, down to —4 or —5 celsius across central and northern parts of the uk. so we're waking up to blue skies, but plenty of frost tomorrow morning. early mist and fog clear

carlson, dude, nice job. the rest of the text is redacted how much of what was redacted -- i was led to believe by some folks close to the dominion side that a lot of it was redacted because it was very embarrassing, sort of politically explosive, maybe not legally devastating. how much do you think will sort of remain redacted what is the current state of what we know was sort of captured in the discovery process but never seen by the general public because the trial didn't happen? >> first, think about everything that we now know about the disparaging way that tucker carlson spoke about a president he pretended to be a champion of think about the way he spoke of his colleagues and the toxic workplace environment that he helped create. think about all of the things he has said on his air that didn't just tiptoe up against the line of being racist, they were racist so he wasn't fired when we knew any of that, when any of that was revealed he was fired this week once it became clear that he was bad for busines

tucker carlson exits fox news. for years he's been one of america's most—watched, most—profitbale, and most—controversial personalities. the who and other health agencies have launched a campaign to reverse a dangerous decline in vaccination levels among children due to covid. plus, monarchy and popularity. a new bbc poll suggests less than a third of young adults in the uk want the royals to continue. we begin in sudan where the us says warring parties have agreed to a 72—hour ceasefire. us secretary of state antony blinken said the agreement with the sudanese armed forces and the para—military rapid support forces came after 48 hours of intense negotiations. earlier, the united nations secretary general warned the violence is at risk of causing a "catastrophic conflagration" that could engulf the whole region and beyond. here's our africa correspondent andrew harding. khartoum today, still burning, as civilians, locals and foreigners hunt for ways to escape from sudan's hellish capital. at a bus station, this man

it showed carlson disparaging senior fox executives. leading "the wall street journal" to report this, and i'm quoting. the company took issue with remarks that mr. carlson made that were derogatory with the network people familiar with the matter said. and here's oliver darcy. >> he was critical, to be generous to him, about the people running fox. that may have played a role. and there's that pending lawsuit now, from his exbooker, who alleged rampant sexism, anti-semitic behave that was running wild on his show. he's also got this legal notice from ray epps, who he made part of his central january 6th conspiracy on his program. there's all this litigation that's got carlson's name over it. you have the dominion lawsuit and fox said enough is enough. >> tucker carlson has not responded to his firing. gary tuchman reports on his controversial rear. >> reporter: tucker carlson is an instigator. >> the election was seized by voters. >> reporter: the capitol insurrection. >> they were sightseers. >> the former cop that murdered george flo

carlson is out at fox news.brief look at his hatred and conspiracy theories." welcome to democracy now! all of this, obviously, increased fox viewership. they did not take him off the air before. this comes right after this three quarters of a billion dollar settlement with dominion. talk about what you understand happened. >> it is difficult to oversee the impact this will have on the cable news universe in terms of what led to this stunning decision. there are a number of factors floating around in the air. media reporters have given reports of the last 24 hours but i imagine that there was -- it has at least something to do with the abby grossberg lawsuit. you can see that on air his treatment of women, of the #metoo movement, speaking out about sexual harassment has been met with derision and mockery, so it would make a light of logical sense for that to be an attitude reflected behind the scenes. again, tucker carlson was a kingmaker at fox news, in the republican party, and the murdochs stood behind every

how they view tucker carlson. is there any chance that this guy could possibly go from cable news host to a political candidate running against donald trump? >> running against. maybe running with. yeah, i mean tucker has got any number of avenues that he can approach right now. because keep in mind joan, and you know this well. that tucker actually became sort of the updated manifestation of trumpism. he sort of re-frames the narrative and put images and a lot of tart language around a lot of the stuff that donald trump was pushing. so his connection to the base is even more unique then trumps in many respects. because he was the first go to when they weren't listening to trump, they were listening to tucker. so in terms of what he wants to do next, he can probably decide whether he wants to do something more direct in politics, he wants to do something more directed media and we'll see where he goes from there. but he has got options. >> and, stables follow up on what jen said, she said perhaps you could tell us

tucker carlson lost and source of income.re now allow him not too much. is it possible to worry about this, looking at the attacker carlson and some other highly paid employees?

carlson was reportedly not happy about that. wanted to tell the world he should, what he thought of that executive. that seems to strengthen a lot of the things that your client has been saying about what it was like in that environment. >> yeah, i mean abby made a lot of complaints about the environment, there when she got there, she was shocked the first day issues there issues told a story about how she was welcomed by large pictures of then speaker pelosi, in a bathing suit because shoes on the beach. they're all over the place, and she had to actually take one off of your computer, to sit down and work. so she complained a few times and one of the executives of the vote said we are just following tucker's lead. this is the vibe tucker likes. >> it seems like that he set the tone, on a show like that he can decide who works there and who doesn't. so they all sort of pattern themselves after him. >> it was a real kind of bro fest, i did a lot of cases in the 90s. remember the boom boom rooms, we thought those went away, appar

carlson is not answering me or anyone else. he's totally silent. >> so there's been no comment from him. is he paid out of his contract? >> i assume he's going to be paid out of this contract. "the journal" reports that he was making upwards of $20 million a year, the "wall street journal," of course, owned by rupert murdoch. >> were there any signs that this was in the works? >> i think this caught everyone off guard. no one was really expecting that tucker carlson would lose his 8:00 p.m. perch. he was the highest-rated host over at fox news. and he seems untouchable. he seemed invincible. he often touted that on the show. he would do things that other hosts would simply not do. and that's because he seemed to have and enjoyed the backing of lachlan murdoch and rupert murdoch. he would promote conspiracy theories about covid, january 6th. they really backed him through all of this. and, so, to see him now lose that is -- >> if it was about text messages about disparaging the leadership at fox, that would be kind of stunning i

there isn't a backup for tucker carlson. there is no major personality that brings in the same kind of ratings he does. the 5 does very well but it is not like they have someone to replace him with. i think it is notable they didn't give tucker carlson a chance to even sign off. to me that tells you part of this decision may have been a little bit rushed. we don't know who is going to replace him. all we know for now is that that hour will continue with political coverage. they ran a promotional spot earlier today touting an interview with the potential candidate. we just don't know who is going to be the permanent host quite yet. >> oliver dorsey is still with us as well. let's walk through some of what we do know. we are waiting to learn more about the whys but in the dominion suit, tucker carlson's text and several fox hosts' texts essentially saying what they knew to be true versus what they were saying on television, raising questions about the election. he said of sydney powell who was the trump lawyer, frequent guest

and tucker carlson is the primary bad actor in that case. it's his show where abby grossberg worked, where she suffered rapid misogyny, and the things that she endured was unbelievable. i haven't seen that in my career in defending employees. if you look at the timing, again, she's coming forward, things happen, she's coming forward again, things continue to happen. >> you've talked about things you've never seen before in your career that she says happened. she said the misogyny from his staff and from carlson himself was pervasive. recently she described it this way. >> women were objectified. it was a game, it was a sport. female politician who's came on the show were mocked. there were debates about who they'd rather sleep with. c-word all the time. >> obviously a fox spokesperson has denied these claims, saying they were riddled with false allegations. but how much more can you tell us? and specifically how much -- is there evidence that abby has that tucker carlson himself was doing all these things? >> well, ultimately, the fish rots

e ba on moay.>> repo carlson signing off on friday.he highest-rated prime-time anchor at fox news was told he was leaving the network according to "the new york times." >> fox news media and tucker carlson have mutually agreed to part ways. >> reporter: fox made the announcement on-air and noted in a statement that his last show was friday. there was no comment from carlson. >> in case you haven't noticed, it's hard to trust anything you hear right now. >> reporter: the "l.a. times" reported fox corporation ceo rupert murdoch personally made the call to oust carlson. he is currently involved in a lawsuit filed by his former senior producer abby grossberg. >> he used incredibly vulgar language to talk about women at times and that his peers were empowered to behave in a way that was deeply misogynistic and >> rorte carls darcoft fox ago tt a hisc defamation lawsuit with dominio $787 million. text messages revealed in court documents show carlson privately criticizing fox's guests, former president trump, and one directed at fox manageme

my sense is, the people who are loyal carlson tucker carlson followers will be eager to hear what herward and are going to find him wherever he surfaces. it is worth noting that there are a lot of people out there in the political sphere who wants to talk about the issues of the day who do not have a platform on cable news or broadcast networks these days. those people go through the less traditional internet avenues. who would have thought a few years ago that joe rogan would have the platform he has? you think of a former fox personality, and nbc personality megyn kelly with her own online discussion program and commentaries. then shapiro for that matter, as well. there are a lot of people out there who are not going through the traditional avenue to reach viewers but are still making their voices heard. frankly, tucker carlson will have plenty of opportunities to do that should he choose to go that direction. for people who worry about personalities like don lemon or tucker carlson being let go and what that does to them financially, they may have just as much opportunity to monet
