suits like yours? it is not their story. it does not. in fact, the way defamation law works, if you repeat something that is defamatory, you now own that statement. by publishing that i have to point out, they were the first one to publish it, clearly, these documents were in theo possession of various news organizations for weeks. yet, no one published it. this is one of those rare situations where msnbc, cnn, and fox, all agree on something, and they agree that this document should not have been published. it was irresponsible. tucker: the details, i think cnn went with an overview but they didn t go with the details. what is interesting, i think this is come to your attention. buzzfeed, as i said, publish to this with the idea that the public needed to know. but they have done nobu substantial follow-up pieces. there hasn t, apparently that i have seen, but in an effort to report this out. they haven t continue to dig up facts on this dossier. by do you think that is? i don
buzzfeed that essentially accuses them of committing crimes against the united states by using their companies to hack computers of the democratic national party, which is an absolute fabrication. because the reputation has been tarnished, they really had no choice. tucker: i want to go right to the text here. this is from the now famous dossier published on buzzfeed. it begins, redacted. over the period of 2016, a company called webzilla and its affiliates had been using botnets and porn traffic to transmit viruses, and conduct alternate operations against the democratic party leadership. you say that is not true. is it possible that webzilla or its companies was unwittingly used to do those things? no. it is impossible. it is a complete fabrication.
buzzfeed has already apologized for not redacting the name fromt the document, that was not enough to square the lawsuit. a founding partner at the boston law group is representing webzilla and its owner in the suit. he joins us now. thank you for joining us. thank you for having me, tucker. tucker: what is the core allegation in your suit? the core allegation is that my clients woke up one day after having built up an incredibly successful web hosting provider, webzilla is a approximately $250 million company, with almost 40,000 servers across the world, with offices in nine different countries. as you can imagine, the reputation of the reputation of their ceo and the founder depends on their clients trusting the services they provide. one day, they woke up to find that a report was published by

civil rights protection. tucker: you go on to say, this is about the erasure of women and girls.iv what does that mean? the erasure? title ix was enacted in 1972 specifically to remedy centuries of discrimination against women and girls because women and girls had been discriminated against and excluded from theen educational arena for thousands of years, at least hundreds of years. title ix was specifically enacted in order to remedy that. but now, if we defined sex under title ix to mean gender identity, what we are essentially saying is that women and girls can mean anyone who self identifies as women and girls, which renders the category women and girls meaningless as a category. it goes further than that. we see this in language all throughout society. we see this for example, women are no longer allowed to talk about body parts, we re not allowed to talk about pregnant women, we have to talk about pregnant people. we are not allowed to say that women have certain kinds of bod
