going on and on. i m sure we ll hear more of this today. but it is quite stunning that his attorney was asked to control his client by the judge, and clearly he couldn t, and didn t, and didn t want to. this was a move that they had choreographed unplanned, even though they didn t get explosive position to do it. no matter what the judge said, donald trump did exactly what he wanted to do. asking forgiveness well, not really. asking for formation adverse, being denied, not really answering that, and then maybe just dealing with it a little later. and it is a risk for the court to have him speak publicly, and this particular judge has had to deal with the fact that the former president has made statements about the judge, has made statements about court personnel, and so there has been an underlying security issue as it relates, and was as was reported at the top of the hour there was a
lawsuit. because there is so much video evidence of tucker carlson going on and on and on about he somehow was involved with the fbi and orchestrated january 6th, and there is absolutely zero evidence that that is true. and this poor soft of a guy has basically lost his business, lost his home, headed to another state, been threatened repeatedly, so he s got a story to tell. fox added to their troubles. they are already looking at the 2.7 billion dollar lawsuit from smartmatic, and now they have this little additional trouble. so, david, the thing that is interesting to me is that it was not just fox and tucker carlson making these claims. you had individuals like ted cruz, marjorie taylor greene also making epps a target. yeah. this guy is a die hard trump supporter, whose life has been destroyed by the very right-wing conspiracy theories
the way it s played. he actually piggybacks on the dominion suit. because he says, i went to the january 6th because i had been lied to by fox news about the election. so, he pulls in the dominion, basically, settlement, and piggybacks his case on that. and then he has a lower standard. it s much easier for him to prove the defamation. because he is not a public figure. so, he has a lower standard of negligence and not actual malice. and he still has an opportunity to get punitive damages. so, it s a pretty interesting lawsuit. because there is so much video evidence of tucker carlson going on and on and on about he somehow was involved with the fbi and orchestrated january 6th, and there is absolutely zero evidence that that is true. and this poor sop of a guy has basically lost his business, lost his home, headed to another state, been threatened

state dinner. i mean, you will hear jim jordan going on and on and on about conspiracy theories, and you won t hear as much about this. i m just curious, the white house obviously not going to chime in on these audio tapes or anything like that. at the same time, how does the biden white house make a distinction that cuts through to people that are being, honestly, misled? such a good question, mika. i don t spend too much time on right-wing websites, but i can concur with what you are saying about what s out there and the challenge the white house has right now. for them, if you re sitting in a white house right now, you re putting your head down around all of these investigations. they are not going to comment, or that is their strategy, on the specifics of any of trump s legal woes. the same thing on hunter. i think, you know, what we saw with hunter appearing at the state dinner was, in my
