mr. carlson. speaker mccarthy's decision to share security footage with fox looked like a mistake from the very beginning, but after last night it looks like a disaster. speaker mccarthy has played a treacherous, a treacherous game by catering to the hard right. he's enabled the big lie and has further eroded away at our precious democracy. when people don't believe elections are on the level, that's the beginning of the end of this bold experiment in democracy that has gone on for more than 200 years. it's all the more shameful because speaker mccarthy knows prees -- precisely what kind of customer mr. carlson is. he's not surprised by this outcome. what a low point for speaker mccarthy. what a low point for fox news. as reporting on the dominion lawsuit shows, mr. carlson had no problem admitted behind the scenes that the big lie is pure garbage. when sidney powell pent on the air to push the stolen -- went on the air to push the stolen election narrative, mr. carlson told fellow anchor laura in

mr. carlson presiding -- first siding with the enemies of democracy. strongly condemn speaker mccarthy's actions and fiercely oppose his decision to share this footage with carlson. i urge fox news to order carlson to cease propagating the big lie on his network and to level with their viewers about the truth sg lie on his network and to give his viewers the truth behind the efforts to mislead the public. just asking for another january 6 to happen. announcer: senate minority leader mitch mcconnell also expressed concern with how fox news depicted the january 6 attack. he stated he was in agreement with the capitol police chief description of how the series of events took place on january 6. sen. mcconnell: with regards to the presentation on fox news last night, i want to associate myself entirely with the opinion of the chief of the capitol police about what happened on january 6. >> given that you agree with the capitol police's very serious concern about the leak of this footage, was it a mistake by speaker mccarthy to get access of the security foo

mr. carlson was using whatever his political and intellectual powers are to analyze bill o'reilly at the as a fox character of something carlson opposed, and yet it appears he can use those same analytical abilities to follow in the footsteps or even take it farther. now, the same year carlson hit fox's o'reilly, he also said it would be hard to imagine ever working over there at fox. didn't have something he wanted to do, demagogue then he landed a spot on cnn, cohosting a show that was called cross fire that positioned carlson as a conservative that could engage with others. now, that show was all about organizing carlson was the host, and then was famously beaten so bad in an argument on that show that as "the times" reported, cnn will cancel cross fire and cut ties to the commentator here was that infamous exchange. >> what you do is partisan hackry, and i'll tell you -- >> you have john kerry on your show and you sniff his throne and you're accusing us of partisans hackry. >> absolutely. >> you're on cnn the show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls. what is wrong

mr. carlson did last night. last i don't think i've ever seen an anchor treat the american people and american democracs ty with such disdain. >> oh, the dripping disdain coming off his lips. like schumer lecturing anyone on lies and manipulation that

mr. carlson's. mccarthy is not at all surprised about this outcome.o remorse. even more shameful. >> okay, you're probably thinking, of course, democrat would take issue with turkish spin, except, here's the thing about today on capitol hill, it was not just democrats. tucker maybe more than willing to try and paint the delicately insurrection as a tourist visit, a lot of republican politicians, almost all of them, where there. and they remember the attack, so they're not so willing to dismiss it. >> well, i didn't listen to tucker carlson, i generally don't. but my recollection of the day is that it was not just some rowdy, peaceful protest of boy scouts. i think i think what happened on january 6th was despicable. >> i'm not interested in trying to whitewash january the 6th. you can hide the truth. by selectively picking a few minutes out of tapes and saying this is what went on. it's so absurd it's nonsense. >> i think it's bs. if you are just a tourist, you should've probably lined up at the visitor center and came in on an orderly basis. >> even

mr. carlson. he said it himself. he told on himself, as they say. so we're seeing how all of this is an exercise for mr. carlson and others in contradicting their own views, that they pretend at night, and this matters because it makes it more likely that fox could lose this case, end up paying $1.5 billion, a little less. it also matters because it's not just media,s the how we do democracy in america. if this is a blueprint that says, that went too far. let's not do that again. cost $1.5 billion. mr. dobbs yanked off the air. or does it become something people say, that works. slap on the wrist, get back to it. dominion is putting the heat on maria bartoromo after powell revealed one of her sources was someone who got it through time travel in a semiconscious state. that is so bananas you'd be better off saying nothing than, yeah, it's my time travel friend. the point is not to make fun of them. they can do it on themselves. the point is the show how on notice legally and otherwise these people were before they aired this stuff, which folks reacte

mr. carlson and trying to li to people. and i think the speaker's goin along with it. which is pretty sad. >> so going forward we already know that tucker carlson's network is facing a 1.6 billio dollar lawsuit here. you would think that fox's lawyers would be telling him t ease up on the election denial top. but instead he has bee doubling it down how do u.s. democrat counteract this? especially, again, as we hea into another election cycle? >> while our policy has been o the january six committee to just tell the truth. as you find it you know, there were things an theories we had that were no true so we just told the truth of what we found. and we are going to continue t tell the truth and focused not just on januar 6th, terrible as that as w should not ever forget i because it is a threat t democracy. but also focus on what reall matters to the american people building a strong economy an standing up for democracy. making sure that our infrastructure is repaired that is what people want t hear about not a look backwards >> thank you so much for joining us representa

mr. carlson's staff held a mock debate about whether they would prefer to have sex with ms.democratic opponent governor gretchen whitmer. after she complained about harassment from two male purchases she was pulled into a meeting with human resources and told she was not performing her duties according to the complaint. so, nick, those are some serious allegations. we wanted to go through them point by point based on your reporting. could fox face separate litigation based on accusations of a toxic workplace culture alone? >> well, she has made a variety of claims and seeking different kinds of redress. one is in new york in federal court. one is in a delaware in the same court where the dominion case is playing out alleging rampant discrimination and retaliation. if you take the complaint at face value, it's an insult to animal house to compare it to animal house. it's just rampant misogyny and everyday sexism. some weird cross between "mad men" and breitbart or something like that and if it's taken at face value it really shows what fox has claimed is a new culture in the

mr. carlson did last time. i don't think i have seen an anchor treats the american people and american democracy with such distan. disdain. >> oh, the dripping disdain coming on his lips. he's the one always trying to manipulate the facts. remember even after the mueller report came out finding no evidence of collusion between trump and russia. schumer refused to rule it out. of course, schumer repeatedly lied about brett kavanaugh just to try to keep him off the court. so, how does schumer or any of these individuals who let our country into a ditch have any standings to claim the mantle of honesty and integrity of the issues of americans. what an honest press used to demand. now, the media, democrats and a few establishment republicans, you know who you are? they're all crowing of the release of the january 6th footage. what were you and everyone else trying to hide these past two years? does anyone think any of these people were planning or capable of conducting a coup against the united states government? c

mr. carlson. >> as u.s. ief tom bearinger tore into carlson 's program for its, quote, offensive in this leading conclusion. the program cherry pick from the 41,000 hours of video, set an internal memo. the commentary fails to provide context with the chaos and violence that happened before and during these tense moments. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that is completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement at the capitol thinks. >> the chief also defended fallen officer brian sicknick, who is attacked with chemical spray and physically fought members of the mob, after carlson questioned links between his death in the insurrection. >> here's footage of sicknick, walking to the capitol -- >> a day after the capitol attack, sicknick died from a series of strokes. the medical examiner said he died of natural causes, but all of that transpired on january 6th played a role in his condition. sicknick's family slammed fox in a statement, saying every time the pay --

mr. carlson's employer is one piece of this. but this is also much larger than any particular person. democracy, we know this, you learn it in school and hear about it in these times when we are tested, democracy requires some level of common facts to operate. that's one side of the coin. the other side is also pretty simple, although scary. across history authoritarianism needs propaganda. sometimes more than even violence to maintain its grip on power that otherwise we've seen in history does not survive as well in a truthful environment. that's why the truth is so important. that's why the truth is so scary to the authoritarians wherever they pop-up. and that's where we are. as you can probably tell, the stakes are high. that's our special report. we have an fbi veteran and aidan mclaughlin and we're back on this story in one minute. >>> back with a lawyer and asha and aidan. defamation cases are hard to win. your thoughts? >> i like that you separated two issues. they're connected but i want to say, you know, one of the things that we need to understand is that this dominion lawsu

mr. carlson. >> reporter: and as tom manger tore into the program for its offensive and misleading conclusion. the program conveniently cherrypicked from the calmer moments of the videos. and the commentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or after the tense moments. >> it was a ins ta smistake in for fox news to depict this in a way that is completely at variant with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. >> reporter: the chief also defending brian sicknick who was attacked with chemical spray and physically fought members of the mob after carlson questioned links with his death and the insurrection. >> here is footage of sicknick -- >> reporter: and the day after he died from a series of strokes. the medical examiner said he died of natural causes but all that played out on january 6 played a role. and secrethis family says organizations like fox rip our wounds wide open and we're sick of it. and another carlson claim, that the qanon walked back without pushback. but prosecutors say that officers completely tried to get

mr. carlson's. mccarthy is not at all surprised, about this outcome.ably even feels no remorse, even more shameful. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this, in a way that is completely at variance, with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol things. >> senate leaders structure mitch mcconnell, criticizing tucker carles for misrepresenting the events of january 6th. will give senator tom tillis of north carolina to get a step further and said this. -- >> i think when you see police officers, assaulted all, that and you happen to be in close proximity to, it if you're just a tourist, he should've lined up at the visitors center and coming in an orderly basis. i don't think it's helpful. >> sure, isn't one of tucker's segments focused on brian sicknick, remember him? the capitol police officer who was there on january 6th, in the midst of it, all and the next day he died. we are not going to show you any of tucker's broadcast last night out of respect for the sicknick family, and for the truth. but today, brian's

mr. carlson. >> reporter: the program conveniently cherry picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hoursmentary fails to provide context about the chaos and violence that happened before or during these less tense moments. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this in a way that's completely at variance with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. >> reporter: the chief also defending fallen officer brian sicknick, who was attacked with chemical spray and physically fought members of the mob after carlson questioned links between his death and the insurrection. >> here is surveillance footage of sicknick walking in the capitol. >> reporter: a day after the attack sicknick dies from a series of strokes. the medical examiner said he dies of natural causes, but all that transpired january 6th played a role in his condition. sicknick's family slammed fox, saying every time the pain of that day seems to have ebbed a bit, organizations like fox rip our wounds wide open again and we are frankly sick of it. they claimed the qanon shaman walked throug

mr. carlson and others are lying about what happened on the 6th. but the story that keeps emerging in each of these filing, the new one and old ones we scoured, is that this wasn't a close call. this wasn't bush v gore and somebody says, something happened in tallahassee. i didn't, but you looked into it to check. just like i have had matt gaetz on, and some of what he says doesn't check out, but we're having a good faith reporting process. what keeps coming through, renato is the idea that this wasn't even inbounds. murdoch and others vote big mail because they didn't think there was any credence to that conspiracy theory. they all privately tore down sidney powell. we have new information where tucker did what he did in previous texts, say this person is bananas and then give them a platform, and fox at a corporate level re-airs that, rebroadcasts that after they were put on notice it was false and defamatory. what does that do in a case like this, renato? >> i think that's the whole ball game. the hard part of a defamation suit, there's multiple

mr. carlson's reputation any reasonable viewer arrives with an appropriate amount of skepticism about the statement he makes. do you see fox lawyers using the argument here that viewers should nose personalities like tucker carlson are using exaggeration and nonliteral commentary. >> i do think that's going to be an argument they're going to raise. it's absurd that they say everyone knows what tucker carlson says isn't true, therefore there can be no deaf makes. i think with regard to election fraud, they're going to find examples where the dominion voting system specifically was defamed, and that would include these suggestions that the machines somehow flipped votes for donald trump in favor of joe biden, that there was some connection with hugo chavez in venezuela, that the machines were the product of bribery by american government officials. those are objective lies, and so to the extent they could document those things, then just asking questions is not going to be enough of a defense. >> former congressman carlos curbelo, and barbara mcquade, my thanks to both of you. >>> in just a

mr. carlson spent a lengthily portion of his broadcast last night trying to defend, despite the fact that the qanon shaman has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to 41 months in prison. those charges and convictions are not a convection of the fake news media, they are not an invection of the democratic political machine. that is the american justice system at work. something republicans in congress appear to have forgotten. congressman mike collins, republican of georgia, tweeted in response to the fox special, i've seen enough. release all j 6th political prisoners now. >> congresswoman marjorie taylor greene responded, the qanon shaman deserves a retrial. senators mike braun and josh hawley, praised tucker carlson forgetting the truth. >> senator, your reaction to the release of last night of the capitol security video on fox news. do you think tucker carlson handled it appropriate? >> i think he did. i watched about half of that, i think whatever you're pushing transparency, that is a hard argument to be against. >> i think it's great, i'm glad he's doing what is doing. i hope mccarthy

mr. carlson said all the opposite things. what we are seeing here, even if it seems slow and doesn't seem to be working in realtime is over time there are leverage points. the dominion voting company has more leverage over fox news, let's say, than all the millions of americans who were lied to. that has to do with how court cases and civil liability works. ms. ellis is getting in trouble more than other liars because she wanted to keep her bar license, including having to basically admit what she tried to mislead on on this program, everyone though we tried to fact check her in realtime. then there were other areas where the accountability has not caught up with these individuals. we want to bring back emily bazelon on i would say a pretty busy news night. is that fair? >> yeah, sure. i mentioned ms. ellis. professionally she was a lawyer representing the then losing outgoing president of the united states when we had her on the program. i showed a little bit of it, and with all due respect i would say, no need to rewatch th

mr. carlson is trying to pretend that nothing happened.his viewers are not relying on his truthfulness, because we know from the lawsuit pending that he is knowingly lying to his audience. and i don't know what he hopes to achieve with this. lisa: congresswoman zoe lofgren of california, thank you so much for your time. rep. lofgren: you bet. take care. amna: more than three years since the start of the pandemic, there are still long waiting times at both hospitals and for in-home care. stephanie sy explores how the medical staffing shortage is affecting patients and why nurses are leaving hospitals for other jobs. stephanie: brendan, a first grader at an elementary school outside phoenix, arizona, has been through a lot in his young life. even attending school was a victory. his clap suggests he's having a good day. >> brendan is 6, almost seven. he was born with half a heart. and he's got a lot of other medical complexities as well. stephanie: his mom, laurie sang, says brendan has had 21 surgeries and has been in and out of the hospital

to mr carlson show, so she gets in there 1st 1st session. they you know, they tell her to come in.he comes in. and the first thing she asked, is do i need my own attorney? because maria has her own attorney. she told me so this is abby speaking. and the fox attorney said, oh, no, no, no, you don't need your own attorney. they just complicate things and you'll be fine. i mean, you're one of the first witnesses that were preparing but you know, as long as you cooperate, everything will be fine. so as long as you cooperate, so now she's she's starting to set the record straight. now fox is saying that this she's just making these claims because she had a critical performance review that she was fired because she shared privileged information. um this is their argument. their statement is we were clear that if she violated our instructions, fox would take appropriate action, including termination. miss grossberg ignored those communications. what's your response? so i mean, let's just start with the fact that those arguments have now been once voluntarily dismissed by fox attorneys bef

mr. carlson did last night. last i don't think i've ever seen an anchor treat the american people and american democracs ty with such disdain. >> oh, the dripping disdain coming off his lips. like schumer lecturing anyone on lies and manipulation that is really rich . he's the one always trying to manipulate the facts. c remember, even after the mueller report came out, e ofe ofno evidenc collusion between trump and russia, schumer refused to rule it out. and of course, schumer lie repeatedly lied aboutcourt. brad kavanaugh just to try to keep him off the cour t. o sole how does schumer or any ofn these individualtrs who have le our country into a ditch have any standing to claim the mantle of honesty and integrity over any issue of significance? hoi say we need more information released about all matters ofhan public concern, not less, which is wha presst an honest press ua to demand. but now the media, democrats and a few establishmentishmen republicans, you know who you art republowe. they're all crowing abou

mr. carlson did last night. i don't think i've ever seen an anchor treat the american people and american democracy with such disdain. >> there's nothing that shameful that is ever appeared on american television ine hist the history of the medium. tha, and so on the basis of that, the the self-evident outrage showing the public video thatto it paid for and has a right see to see chuck schumer called for the censorship of that video, any information, and he did notp dispute that it was accurate. the damages storyline his party constructed and used must be squelched. point. and schumer's explicit on that point because that video videocontradicted lies told bye democratic party. c liz cheney and adam kinzinger. k chuck schumer demanded thats pu our bosses pull this sholl tw of the air and he's going to come back tonight with another segment.o. >> fox news should tell him not to fox news. rupert murdaugh, tell carlsons. not to run a second segment of lies. se i urge fox news to order carlson to cease propagatingl w

carlson and the big lie. [indiscernible question] mr. es: where we're at right now, there is bipartisan condemnation for the lies and conspiracy theories that tucker carlson continues to peddle on air, bipartisan condemnation. it's dangerous and dysfunctional and disgusting and senate republicans have made it clear, senate democrats and biden administration has made it clear. it's clear for the american people. and so, the group that has some explaining to do at this point in time are the extreme maga republicans in the house. you continue to stand with this particular media personality who elevates dangerous conspiracy theories and rhetoric when the american people saw with their very own eyes, a violent insurrection and attack on the capitol, the congress, the country and the constitution? that's a question that the extreme maga republicans at this point need to answer. reporter: are you going to do anything about it? is your caucus going to do anything about it? mr. jeffries: we are going to continue to work to defend our democracy as

mr. carlson in the evening.destroying thing. his anien disputed world champion of that. he has said that on biden's decision -- trump's decision to skip biden's inauguration, it's disgusting. i'm trying to look away. he has bad-mouthed sydney powell. he said he mates trump passionately, and then he said this, willie. he called -- tucker carlson called donald trump a demonic force, a destroyer, but he's not going to destroy us. i've been thinking about this for four years. we have two weeks left. we can do this. i think it's so instructive to pull back the kurting to see what he thought in real time when he said something so very different on air, and continues to push those lies to this very day. >> we've been talking for years about those four years he was saying he worried about every day, we've been talking about members of the house, members of the senate, republican leaders throughout the states, heaping contempt on donald trump behind the scenes, saying how much they hated him, republicans saying how much

mr. tucker carlson's. mccarthy is not at all surprised about this outcome.probably even feels no remorse, even more shameful. >> it was a mistake, in my view, for fox news to depict this, in a way that is completely at variance, with what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thanks. >> that's something you don't see every day. senate leaders chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell, criticizing tucker carlson for misrepresenting the events of january 6th as mostly peaceful chaos, and republican senator thom tillis of north carolina took it a step further and said this. >> i think it's bs. when you see police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted, all of that -- or you had to be in close proximity to it -- if you were just a tourist, you should have probably lined up at the visitor center and came in on an orderly basis. i just don't think it's helpful. >> it sure isn't. one of tucker's segments focused on brian sicknick. remember him? the capitol police officer who was there on january 6th, in the midst of it all, and the nex

mr. tucker carlson wrote to members of his staff onjanuary 4th, 2021. quote, i truly can't wait. producer replies, quote, i want nothing more. then tucker carlson responds, quote, i hate him, donald trump, passionately. let that sink in. tucker carlson hates donald trump, quote, passionately. wow. on november 17th, 2020, tucker carlson texted attorney sidney powell, quote, you keep telling our viewers that millions of votes were changed by the software. i hope you will prove that very soon. you've convinced them that trump will win, if you don't have conclusive evidence, it is a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying. a cruel and reckless thing to keep saying? gets us to the second event we mentioned, the ongoing campaign to whitewash the january 6th insurrection currently underway at the highest levels of fox by tucker carlson. despite rebukes, even from some elected republicans, tucker carlson doubled down on this mission last night. he describes it as his public service, something he's doing in the name of transparency. here's what january 6th select committee member jamie ra

. >> tucker carlson: the record mrs. emmons finding.runk driving a whole country is unbelievable. senator vance, i appreciate you coming out tonight thank you. >> thank you tucker. >> so, you never want to believe that the american life in the justice system is being used for political and to destroy a bank people. and that's people who might speak up against the democratic party, but we are stunning to see that. particularly, with civil suits. which are now in a tool in the democratic arsenal to shut up its critics. tara reade accused joe biden of sexual assault credibly, and they go after her. she joins us next. furious and the current hit show yellowstone. beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. i was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom. i know how much you care about america and our veterans and all the things. but you have such a platform now. yeah. and to share that with us that we need to get the wo

known as breads bakery, one of the producers, mccaskill, loudly proclaim to the tucker carlson booking team that mr'ron went to the zhu bakery had he had gone to see is people. this is just one example. the whole lawsuit is filled with stuff like this. it's 1970 inside the halls of fawkes, as she describes it, with a poster of nancy pelosi in a bathing suit that they would all yep about. your thoughts? >> well, without knowing the inner workings of what's going on over there. i would just say everyone deserves to be in a workplace that is respectful. and treats everyone with respect and dignity they deserve. so, she's obviously got every right to claim, fox has every right to fend it. but certainly, it's not the kind of behavior and condone in the workplace i was managing. and i do manage one, and we don't condone that kind of stuff. so, i understand the discomfort. >> yeah, jessica? >> that is just kind of a horrifying display. and obviously, these are allegations. we can't say this is definitely what happened. but that's just -- it's not that different from other things we have heard, frankly, an

mccarthy granting tucker carlson access to january 6food footage while leaving out other media outlets and in general is expose footage exposing the capitol to security risks? mr. jeffries: house democrats have been clear that providing security nottage in a manner that would jeopardize protocol, the safety and well being of everyone who serves in this capitol, including staff as well as capitol police and visitors who come from all throughout the country to experience the citadel of our democracy is an irrespornsable thing. it appears that extreme maga republicans may be putting the braiks on what was a clearly irresponsible act but that remains to be seen. we have to figure out a way to balance the interests in what happened around the violent insurrection but to do it in a way to jeopardize the security and safety of all who serve or visit the capitol. reporter: you said you need to find a balance between transparency and protecting security. if capitol police hasn't vet -- has vetted, do you think the american people should have better access to understand what happened on january 6? mr. jeffries: the first step, the most important step, is to make sure th

mr. murdoch's testimony is all the more alarming after speaker mccarthy is reportedly allowing tucker carlsono review highly sensitive security camera footage of the events surrounding the violent january 6 insurrection. sharing that footage is a grave mistake that risks emboldening the supporters of the big lie. mr. murdoch, fox news executives, and hosts all have a choice, a very important choice. they can continue broadcasting lies about our elections and further erode trust in our democracy or they can admit their mistake, start telling the truth, and move beyond this shameful chapter in their company's history by coming clean with their viewers and with the american people. we hope mr. murdoch heeds our call. the survival of our democracy is too important. now, on the new buyback bill, later today a bipartisan group of senators including senators brown and vance of ohio and fetterman and casey of pennsylvania, a bipartisan group plan to introduce the railway safety act of 2023. in the aftermath of the terrible accident in east palestine, this is precisely the kind of proposal we need to

carlson. was on a replacement theory. and i think it's interesting that you want to make a bogeyman of mr. flaherty because not one of the emails from mr. flaherty or anyone else from the white house required or demanded or mandated any action by social media companies. i want to clear the record on that. >> what the gentlelady yield? >> time is mine. i would like to use it without interruption. thank you. my colleagues on the other side the i'll keep shouting that the biden white house somehow influenced a private company to take down disinformation in 2020. before a biden white house even existed. and chairman jordan wanted to make this script so badly that he wanted the two republican attorney generals who began this lawsuit come in and make five-minute statements where they could make all kinds of wild allegations. and then he let them scurry away so nobody could ask them any questions about their claims. but i really want to focus on the fact that this hearing really isn't about social media companies and it's really not about covid deniers. it's not even about elon musk. it's about p

understand this very well, but nevertheless , we can agree with the stacker carlson in the main, and under the leadership of mrica in general in the west, what is called going from victory to victory? here we already see, and so to speak, really trampling on human essence. we see calls to ban what we do not like. this is a great victory for liberal democracy. we see the creation in the parliament not of anti-strons, but even of anti-party committees directed against a certain political party in another country, which, probably, should be determined by itself. how should she live and which party should she lead, and in the end, in e. what happened today is our looped conversation. i can say that this is also another victory for liberal democracy. she has already said that ukraine is a stronghold. this is light hd democracy. she fighting for freedom was told when it was forbidden there. political parties told when they banned the media there, when people were tied to poles, they staged a day of lynching over them, when they committed terrorist acts on the territory of the russian federation, and now another vict

house, who enabled this false narrative by giving tucker carlson access to the surveillance footage in the first place it's worth remembering mr. mccarthy once had a pretty clear understanding what happened that day. >> these men and women in uniform they got overrun, one officer got killed. you don't understand what was transpiring in that moment and that time, people hanging to the ropes. when i got back into my building i found the straps they had. i don't know if they tried to kid nap somebody or whatever but they were well-planned for it. >> fast forward to today and republicans now find themselves in the very uncomfortable position of having to either get onboard with tucker carlson it was alternate reality or actually speak the truth about what happened on january 6th. yesterday senate republican leader mcconnell called carlson's depiction of january 6th a mistake. today his senate colleagues mitt romney and lendsy graham also denounced carlson it was efforts. >> i won't take any part in whitewashing january 6th. it wasn't a stroll through the capitol. it was a attack on our capitol. >> texas republican congressman dan

mr. race! but no! that one actually landed me on some kind of list, can you believe that? i did get a shout-out from tucker carlsonparently, this is also the name of his boat. >> marlon: that one makes me want to punch you in your face. >> so you're not a nascar fan, i get it. but if that upsets you, just waited till you see the one that the maine department of motor vehicles sent me. >> marlon: oh, okay, that's just a regular plate. >> what are you talking about? l-2-e-f-d-p? "love to eat fat donkey puss?" this is obscene, marlon! i have a family! >> marlon: i think you're overreacting, okay. what plate did you end up with? >> we're still going back and forth. but i'm hoping this is the one they'll accept.

mr. murdoch's testimony is all the more alarming after speak of mccarthy is reportedly allowing tucker carlson to review highly sensitive security camera footage. of the events surrounding the violence in january 6th insurrection. sharing that footage is a great mistake that risks emboldening the supporters of the big lie. >> good luck with that, chuck. with that, let's get smart with the help of our lead off panel tonight. nbc capitol hill correspondent, ryan nobles. former fbi assistant director for counter intelligence, and former u.s. attorney joyce vance. who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. frank, let's start with the steele reporting. on some fbi agents resisting the mar-a-lago search what stuck out to you? >> oh goodness, we are in a bad place. if years of trump bashing the fbi, having fired jim comey, having andy mccabe fire 24 hours before he's eligible for retirement benefits. here we go with now what appears to be the fruits of all of that erosion of our key institutions where the question has to be asked of do we have fbi agents who are gun shy when it comes to doing the ri

house, who enabled this false narrative by giving tucker carlson access to the surveillance footage in the first place, it is worth remembering, that mry once had a pretty clear understanding of what happened that day. >> these men and women in the uniform, they got overrun. one officer got killed. they got broken arms. you don't understand what was transpiring at that moment and that time. people hanging, people brought ropes. but when i got back into my building, i found the straps that they had. i don't they come and try to kidnap or somebody whatever, they were well planned for it. >> fast forward to today. and republicans now find themselves in the very uncomfortable position of having to either get on board with tucker carlson's alternate reality, or actually speak the truth about what happened on january 6th. yesterday, senate republican leader, mitch mcconnell, called carlson's depiction of january 6th, a mistake. today, his senate colleagues mitt romney and lindsey graham, also denounced tucker carlson's efforts. >> there is no questions at the january 6th was a riot, an insurrection attempt. an effort to overturn the process

mr. murdoch's testimony is all the more alarming after speaker mccarthy is reportedly allowing tucker carlson events surrounding the violent january 6th insurrection. sharing that footage is a grave mistake that risks emboldening the supporters of the big lie. >> taking stock of the stunning revelations about fox news in the dominion lawsuit is where we begin the hour. joining us at the table, jeremy peters. i was struck by your interview. i saw that "60 minutes" piece about dominion. it's the first look i had inside the harm done to the employees of dominion. start there with the human toll. behind every sort of trump era story there's always a human cost. i wonder if you can speak to the case that dominion is making about its employees being harmed and hunted. that was some of the testimony provided by dominion in that same piece. the fact that they exist in an environment, a climate where the lies are still told. many of them on this network. >> that's an interesting point. you would think that that evidence would go to the issue of damages. those people should be compensated for the emoti
