newsmax was promoting trump's big lie much more than fox. murdaugh continued, quote, these people should be watched, except plea. trump will concede eventually. we should concentrate on georgia. helping anyway we can. we don't want to antagonize trump further, but giuliani, taken with a large grain of salt -- everything at stake here. can i just say something for a second? before i get back to the script, here? nothing -- what is at stake? how old -- rupert murdoch is worth billions of dollars. this is what's so crazy about all these people. they're also rich! they're also powerful! what? what are you scared of? they're also desperate. now, murdaugh seems almost equally concerned about his audience going to newsmax, and about the outcome of the next big race, as the runoffs and up elections in georgia. also, that makes sense. this is, i think, genuine. it's not a stick from murdaugh. it's who he has. fundamentally, fox news is both a moneymaking project and a political one. it's both. it's been that way since its conception by murdaugh, and

newsmax just got 15 one million people back, which is great. newsmax they tried to destroy newsmax.y have done to oan is horrible. they tried to destroy newsmax enter different things, they got it back. directv did not like it. they had very high ratings and they took it off. that is something that is unusual. while leftist thugs are about to room the streets coming killing, looting, burning come a raping, pillaging, patriotic parents, christians, conservatives, pro-life activists are being hounded by the fbi/doj. like terrorists but they are being treated so badly. they are allowed to spy on my campaign and nothing happens. they are allowed to write fake dossiers, send it around to everyone and it turned out to be a total hoax. there was nothing true in it. it was done by the democrats in crooked hillary clinton. but they persecuted us and yet, joe biden is a stone cold criminal caught dead to write and nothing happens to him. forget the family. nothing happens to him. yesterday, the press reported that millions and millions of dollars came into his family's bank accounts from chin

my pillows mike lindell was on newsmax tonight and criticize fox news quite a bit, saying it look like we were in on stealing the election from trump. he did say that he wouldn't pull ads over it, but he did make suggestive comments about our audience being smaller than before. the next morning, fox news ceo suzanne scott replied, as my personal noted gift been sent to mike? meanwhile, fox continue to let mike lindell on their air as a guest, so, he can push the big lie that the election was stolen. now, we have these emails because yesterday, a gigantic drop of raw evidence in the billion dollar defamation lawsuit between the dominion voting systems corporation and fox news, was released. it is such a gigantic amount of emails and texts and deposition transcripts, even now, more than 24 hours later, we are still not through it all. one of the things that we are seeing, again and again here, and this pile of evidence, the typical firewalls and guardrails, the checks and balances that you would expect from a real news organization. they just want their. there's a clear conflict of inter

guess who is, newsmax. >> that's a great point.st matt schlapp play some role here. there is also reporting that the organization that he runs is in turmoil, exodus of more than half its death since 2021. again, schlapp denies the allegations, but the washington post did some thorough reporting. we'll see how that all plays out, but i can't imagine that helps given all this? >> no, of course not, listen, the important part of this is that, again it, goes back to the scene tape before about why certain people would be upset with donald trump before. and nothing to do with the insurrection, then i had to do with the election denying, did not have to do with the kids of ages, all the other transgressions of trump over the years, the lying and decency, no, no, no, it's because it cost the midterms. it's a similar situation here at cpac. matt schlapp credibly accused here, no, as a thing to do what he turned cpac into, it has to do the fact that oh well, maybe he did a couple of things wrong, we don't want to be seen with him now. schla

this is a newsmax interview that aired last night.o do santos has asked whether he would consider being donald trump's vice president. and of course you could guess the answer, but i just wanted to play for you. how he said it. yeah i think i'm probably, um, you know more of an executive guy. i mean, i think that you want to be able to do things as part of the reason i got in i got into this job is because we have action were able to make things happen. and i think that's probably what i'm best suited for. more of an executive guy. yeah listen, we've talked about this before the rhonda santa's plan to become the republican nominee of the republican of for president is to offer himself as kind of methadone for trump supporters who want to quit the habit. and so he's not going to fully. i mean, the obvious answer that, uh, you know, uh, for some would be i will not serve as his vice president, because i don't think he should be president. uh and that's one of the reasons i'm running for president, but that's a risky proposition in today

uh, here vasily spoke about yermak in an interview with newsmax.tch it, looked at the frame. i looked like a year of war face. yermak probably it's two times, well , let's say it rounded, that is, it is clear that the person is doing well. i mean, it's all bad. everything is bad here, in my opinion, his boss. everything is fine with him, therefore, in this mode, of course. this is the political top. it seems to me that, in general, i would like to continue to carry out my political activities indefinitely, because they are completely satisfied with it, if we take the factor, transnistria well, today in chisinau yes huge protests, and the wing of the slogan was succeeded by anna there still began to be added. we are for peace, that is, people are against war and are suppressing it, and in this regard, it seems to me that, uh, zelensky would very much like, probably, to get a victory in, let's call it that, in the western direction. well, sandu herself is clearly afraid of this. you all understand that, firstly, there is a rather strong military mood

they saw their viewership fleeing to newsmax, which is this much smaller, very much less sophisticated news network. and it was beating fox in a few instances. and rupert murdoch, and suzanne scott, the ceo of fox news, tried everything to ring the alarm bells here. and ringing the alarm bells, in many instances, edmonton door seeing these fantastical notions that dominion machines were somehow at the center of a plot to siphon votes away from donald trump and give them to joe biden. so, it all started, symone, with the panic over tv ratings. >> that's certainly -- jeremy, it's something else that we learned today. it's that a fox news producer, who works for fox news and maria bartiromo is suing the company. so, what is going on there? >> this is actually very interesting. because maria bartiromo, as much as she is kind of a secondary figure within the fox news orbit -- right, like, we consider these folks like tucker carlson, sean hannity, to be the biggest stars of the network -- but they are not the ones that could plan fox news in the biggest jeopardy in this lawsuit. that's maria

the error they are concerned about losing, viewers to our upstart right wing rivals, oan and in and newsmax. we saw that one of the previous document dumps, probably because in addition what drives stocks is not investigative reporting, it's not the reported as truth seekers and truth tellers. 12 just planes, made from a fox news of news viewer at this point it's clear as day that i can i do every night of the week inside 80s even if i love fox even of those are my homeboys, i don't think it might too i best friend, i called him out and i picked. why they're viewers angry? . >> i think it's can be so fastening to see what the fallout is from all of this. as for, all were so siloed in this country, we are fox corners are not getting the news from other channels. so when they see tonight, this betrayal they see from the text messages from tucker carlson. it the way he's been talked about behind the scenes. i think we really fascinating to see, whether they can continue, if they can continue to be the arbiter, going forward, in the 2024 republican primary, for example. or, whether we're gonna

as you were saying earlier, they saw voter viewers fleeing going to oan or newsmax and all that.were thinking how can we keep these viewers here. how can we keep them here. and as time goes on, the more you read, it becomes increasingly toxic. this symbiotic relationship between two. >> you're the legal mind. i don't know it they can win a defamation case because the bar is so high. the first amendment is a gift we all benefit from. fox may in this case. but their credibility publicly, this is their own words. this is them in their own words. this is rupert murdoch, maybe they went too far. for sean to tell you he was this despair about trump, but what did he tell his viewers? they were having conversations with and among themselves about how this is all bogus. this is terrible. now let's go say it on tv. because it excites our viewers. >> the fascinating thing now is we are finally seeing on the hill for some republicans, especially in senate leadership, this is where the line is. and this is a step too far. and we saw mitch mcconnell come out yesterday and blast tucker carlson

i know he has many views on this as well those include fox broadcasting, newsmax, and other networks. some of the same networks that our colleague wrote a letter about when they were deplatforming the large cable providers. she has been a consistent advocate for consumers for lowering the cost of broadband and ensuring conductivity. given that there is a great deal of work to be done at the fcc, it is time to have a full commission. we know that just a sampling of the work includes the oversight of their mapping efforts, making sure we take -- make a stop to robo calls, spectrum policies, and many other issues. i know she will be that voice and it is critical that we have one right now. we know that she is capable of helping us implement what are the broadband deployments we just put a lot of resources against but i would ask those who are trying to reposition heart to think about who it is you are really advocating for. the billions of dollars that people want to continue to have an broadband or the policies that will help us get true competition of the marketplace and finally deploy

fox executives worried that they would lose viewers to hard right competitors like newsmax. the top fox executives held a zoom meeting on november 16th, 20, 20 unquote, how to keep from angry networks conservative audience again, by calling an election for a democrat before the competition. fox responded to the times of the statement, fox news stood by the arizona, call despite intense scrutiny, given the extremely narrow 0. 3% margin, and a new protection mechanism, then no other network had. of course, there would be wide-ranging postmortem return in the call, and how is executed, no matter the candidates. with that let's bring in the lead off panel, luke broadwater, pulitzer prize-winning reporter for the new york times. -- and partner putt news, and tim miller, it contributed to the bulwark, and the communications director for jeb bush. it is good to see you, all tim, you are at cpac, you lived to tell about it, here is some of what to make a cautions of the atlantic road. the apparent decline in interest isn't just about the pack, it speaks to the serious problem for tr

need to see the tucker carlson messages will never see them because they are going to watch oan and newsmaxx did this because they were worried they were losing market share. not to cnn. >> i think some will sneak in. i was with you, molly, for the past few weeks. i was thinking, oh, the viewers will never see it. i think they channel surf. i think that they do walk past "the new york times" headline and it catches their eye. i think it is going to sneak in. i don't know if they will care but i think that somehow it's going to sneak in through osmosis. >> if there is a trial, you will have those guys sitting on the witness stand having to say -- and they are not going to be able to lie because there are tweets, there are emails. >> the trial is expected to start mid-april. what would make it not go to trial? if dominion settles. if fox says we will pay you $1.6 billion. >> if dominion settles, the facts are out there and the story has been told. but you don't get the show of the trial. and remember what kind of trial we are in. i mean, this is you defamed our company, this did damage to us

when they get to control some version of a narrative to really just kind of fox news, newsmax viewers're excited about. look, if they do a truthful investigation, a big question, you know, you're going to see exactly what we showed, which was, this was a donald trump-inspired insurrection. i have no idea where they're going to go from here, unless it's complete and utter lies. i'm sure speaker mccarthy is pretty nervous about this. because he knows exactly what happened. >> and they also ran on this, right? before the midterms, that they would launch this investigation. it looks like it is going forward. sarah, in terms of the bigger picture, legally, at least, for fox, what do you think the consequences could be here? i asked you off-camera if you thought they would settle. so what happens now? >> they'll go to trial in april. i think it's very likely if you talk to legal experts that they lose the case. they could be looking at $1.6 billion in damages. it could be even more. but what it means from a 30,000 foot view is that this is a precedent for the first amendment in cable news.

right side broadcasting, newsmax, oan, that are very much on the side of the republican party here andpparatus. there's a lot in store, including jair bolsonaro, the former brazilian president to actually just had the chance to catch up in the halls. he's been an ally of donald trump in the conservative effort here. and there's a lot ahead of donald trump taking the stage on leader day, alex. >> what an eyeful for you, my friend. and on your birthday. so, enjoy that i thank you for the report. >> you know the story, you have heard all the arguments. and the next, the government's top supreme court lawyer who may have saved a case of the presidents student loan forgiveness program. forgiveness program. this cough.

had the election stolen from, them but because they were worried that trump would bring his base to newsmax of these fox news competitors, they profit the lie day after day to keep berating this machine going. so, i think this is an eye-opener eye-opener for the american bubble public. we need to have a broader conversation about the implication of so much of our media becoming for profit. frankly, on the left and the right. the left isn't deliberately lying to its viewers, but the right is today. and i think it's a constant -- consequence of, maybe at the foundation the decision we've made to just turn our news media operations into a full for profit exercise. >> i think that's a good point. i know what to make it clear, i'm glad you said this, senator. you know, these aren't equivalent. there's a difference between, you know, a network having disagreement on a particular issue, and expressing, hey, we think this or that about this, as opposed to like. russell brand, i'm sorry, you are wrong. it's not the same thing with msnbc and fox. but i think your point about media is also really key

they were concerned about losing viewers to their upstart right-wing rivals, oan and newsmax. and you saw that and one of the previous document dumps, where tucker carlson is talking about the stock price, probably, because in addition -- probably because a lot of his salaries actually stop. -- one of the reasons why he was actually concerned about that. and so what drives fox is not investigative reporting. it's not being determined truth seekers and truth tellers. it's about to the bottom line. it's about profits. >> okay. we are just going to call tonight's show, i guess i don't get it. to all of geoff's points, maeve reston, if i'm a fox news viewer, it's clear as day that i get lied to every night of the weekend saturdays, even if i love fox -- even if those are my homeboys, i don't want to get lied to by my best friend. and i call them out and i'm hissed cheesed off. why aren't viewers angry? >> i think it's so fascinating to see what the fallout is from all this. as you know, we are so siloed in this country, we are fox viewers are not watching other channels and gettin

edge against a news organizations that were telling the truth and on the right organizations like newsmax et cetera who are even more willing to push these conspiracy theories. they felt caught in the middle between those two things and they chose the wrong side. >> so, you're the lawyer here, defamation as i understand, a defamation claims, they are notoriously hard to prove. and yet the fact that we have gotten this far along in the dominion lawsuit is quite remarkable. do you think dominion has a winning case on their hands here? >> they certainly have a very viable case. i think fox news has to be concerned about that. the reason that the defamation is so difficult to prove is that when you are when this involves a public figure, and all these remember matters of cub public return, you have to prove that either fox news knew that this was false or that they were active with wrecked of reckless disregard for the truth. this is so high of a burden. it actually looks like they -- >> i was gonna say, with the text messages -- >> it's a shame. you know, was hayes talking a moment about tha

maybe the only group celebrating here is newsmax, because they want to take apart the audience away. triple down, doubled down, and it's the culture that's permeated all of the right-wing since trump took office. there's no accountability. they can do it out in the open. and they can endanger our national security and every more line without any repercussion. so the question, is will there be repercussions, who will hold them accountable? >> if there's not why would they stop? all the things you laid, out trump's a free man, his daughter and son-in-law who worked in the white house are richer than ever. and in terms of all this being all green, last i checked, fox isn't losing viewers. >> right, they're not losing. viewers and the question will, be what will they do to try to stem whatever hemorrhaging is going on right now? do you think this is actually going to go to trial? personally, i don't. i think that they're gonna have to settle. they're gonna have to put some sort of a lid on this pr nightmare. ndas and the life. but it's already out. they're all we have to do is replay the

he was declared winner of the thousand 20 election they panicked they saw the viewership flame to newsmaxsophisticated news network, i was beating fox in a few instances, and rupert murdoch, suzanne scott, they tried everything to bring the alarm bells here, and ringing the alarm bells in many instances, meant endorsing these fantastical notions that dominion machines were somehow at the center of a plot, to siphon votes away from donald trump and give them to joe biden so it all started with the panic over tv ratings. >> when, they, jamming those on the house we learned today, that a fox news producer who works for tucker carlson, and maria bartiromo, is suing the company. so what is going on there? >> so this is actually very interesting, because maria bartiromo as mice as she is kind of a secondary for in the fox news orbit we consider these folks like tucker carlsen sean hannity to be with stars in the network, when they're not the ones that could land fox news in the biggest jeopardy in this lawsuit, that's maria bartiromo and this guy lou dobbs who no longer works there, we are stil

who's going to threaten tv provider direct tv if they didn't add back his favorite propaganda outlet, newsmax, to the lineup. he has repeatedly called for not just the fbi, not just the justice department, but for border security to be defunded and dismantled. forget about a wolf, james comer is a grenade launcher. he is such in sheep's clothing. let's be clear about that. joining me now democratic congressman of texas, a member of the house oversight committee. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. it's a pleasure to talk to, you and i want to get your general thoughts on this new chairman of the house oversight committee, because as we just outlined there, he's somebody that has been flying below the radar, not quite as bombastic in front of the cameras as a jim jordan or matt gates. what is your take? >> first of all, thank you so much for having me on. i hope you don't drill me as hard as you grilled many hear about comics, but what is so tragic to me is the committee on house oversight used to be chaired in the past by a legendary chairman who could be ultimately held -- and gri
