i think that having tucker carlson in iowa, in this forum, is really helping ron.n nationalists movement that is extreme. it has an extreme ideology. and so they are using these culture wars to divide, to distract from the fact that here, in florida, we are now a hot spot for the highest rate of inflation, we -- are property sure insurance rates are four times the national, average we are paying more audio insurance than any other state in the country. rhonda sanchez is not. here he is not facing these issues. americans cannot afford around desantis presidency. he has abandoned florida. he's all about his own political ambition. >> guys, i'm sorry to cut it short, we have had a pretty long interview at the bottom of the hour. state senator, roland gutierrez, . promised me bose will come bat as we continue to have these discussions and march our way towards 2024. former representative, charlie, dent endemic are sal -- top of the, hour turning the defense spending into a political. gain former secretary of defense under clinton, william cohen, joins me on the -- typi

ray epps has filed a lawsuit against fox news, accusing the network and tucker carlson of defamationmoting a fantastical story that he was an undercover government agent who instigated the violence at the capitol. the lawsuit reads, quote, just as folks head focused on voting machine company's one falsely claiming a rigged election, fox knew it needed a scapegoat for january 6th. it's settled on ray epps. jeremy peters is a reporter for the new york times who has been covering the story, and he joins me now. jeremy, in your piece about mr. epps few days ago and his lawyers contemplating this lawsuit, what is the case they are making in the suit? >> this is not just any january 6th defendant. this is a guy who voted for donald trump twice, who is a loyal fox news viewer, or at least was, who, the complaint that we wrote about today, spelled out was convinced by what he heard on fox news as leading him to believe that the election was stolen from donald trump. so he then went to washington, d.c. on january 5th and participated in various demonstrations the night before and the day of.

. >> another thing that happened in this family leadership conference in iowa tucker carlson was able to question a lot of the candidates and he really pushed them on some of these issues. let's watch, this is the former vice president mike pence who was interviewed. this is a portion where they talk about the attack on the capital on january 6th. >> they were american citizens and they were really mad because d they thought of the election s unfair and i wonder why more time hasn't been spent by either party reassuring americans that they are real, that all votes are counted, the electronic voting machines which no one seemed to trust ten years ago now are infallible and why the mail-in voting is a good thing like why doesn't anybody try to reassure the public the mechanics of voting are legit? >> as i said in my communication to congress and i said many times since there were irregularities. there were about a half a dozen states that changed the rules in the name of covid, and that undermined public confidence in the outcome. at the end of the day we brought more than m-16 lawsuits

now in the interview, tucker carlson also stated that while in the past he's disagreed strongly with donald trump. he does admire the fact that donald trump seems to be the only major us politician who is speaking up with regards to ukraine and questioning biden's policy. you know, trump is the only person with stature and the republican party really, who's saying, wait a 2nd, you know, why are we supporting an english warn you? crane? and everyone in washington is wrong. everyone and trump is right on that question. and it's a big question. that war is re shaping the world, a 3 shaping economy of the world. 3 shaping populations. the crate is losing the war. obviously the united states could and ukrainians are dying in huge numbers in the countries being destroyed. and so the us could force a piece like tonight, they could me a uniquely, they have that power and they won't. and they're continuing to allow ukrainians to be killed in the country to be devastated. the refugees in that region, the number of people killed in that warming. europe will never be the same because of this war

carlson, and it caught wind and gained traction on the right from tucker carlson.a very clear cut case, according to the defamation experts i have spoken to that really, you can make it that tucker carlson essentially defamed this guy, claimed that he was some type of government plant, and none of it was true. >> he said it multiple times on the air, unlike what we saw on dominion, carlson was agenda to a loft dominion claims. in this case, he plays a much more direct role. >> that's exactly right. if you look at the dominion claims, tucker carlson's broadcasts were one part of what dominion was arguing in court. they had like a 20-point case that they were making and tucker carlson's show was only one of those 20. here you have 18 month of tucker carlson's shows over and over again, repeating these false stories that show ray epps is, you know, a secret agent that was in the crowd inciting the riot. and, you know, it never happened. now, none of that precludes ray epps from being charged, right, because what essentially ray epps is' opponents were arguing is that

. - fox news and tucker carlson, quote, "have agreed to part ways." can you imagine him going quietly into the night? - i don't think there's any scenio where he goes quietly into the night. i would say that behind donald trump, tucker carlson was the most influential member of the right. and i don't just mean ideologically, i also mean culturally. in other words, the way in which tucker interacted with the world: his malice, his dishonesty. i mean, these have become hallmarks of the new right or the trumpist right. and he was a cultural driver of that. he was also an engine of introducing a lot of new right and reactionary right ideas into the culture. they came through tucker carlson in a way they didn't come through any other fox host. and so you could have some really interesting cultural effects where a lot of the loudest, angriest and most malicious voices don't have that direct line to the republican public like they did when tucker was in that chair. - let me ask you about the court. i mean, you're a lawyer. you have a fabulous podcast that un
